"Are you deaf and dumb? I said no! I don't take food as payment. No credits, no ship, no deal!"
Keck frowned in dismay, slowly pocketing the snacks he was offering. This was a lot harder than he'd expected. Fishing around in his pockets, he pulled out the scrip he had on hand, offering it with a hopeful smile. "Credits?" The angry-looking Iktotchi threw up his hands in frustration and despair. "That's not enough! More credits! More! If that's all you have, then get out!" Dejected, Keck slipped the three chips back into his purse and exited the store.
Keck wanted to buy a bigger ship than his X-thing, which was way too cramped to sleep on. Seeing magazines advertising 'The best starcraft deals in the whole galaxy!!' in Nar Shaddaa, he knew that was the perfect place to go. But the diminutive Jedi definitely didn't expect to deal with people this strict. Back on the station where he trained, the Jedi were very sharing and helpful - but definitely not so much, here. He'd already spent most of his credits just paying for parking! Where was he going to get more?
Stepping out into the busy streets, Keck's senses were immediately assaulted by a dizzying array of lights, sounds, and smells. It was more than anything he'd ever experienced before, and he couldn't help but stand there for a moment in awe. This place was crazy! So much to see and do! Wait, that's right. Credits. Need to get credits.
How do people get credits?
Wandering down the bustling streets, he spied a large sign with the flashing words "CASINO: BIG WINNINGS! GET CREDITS FAST!". Perfect! Just what he needed. The Force always brought him where he needed to be. Keck hustled inside as fast as his stubby legs could carry him.
