Outer Rim| Terminus | Nera’s Dream
The nightlife of Terminus was a never ending party. Even when the moonlight hours wanned into the pollution-hazed sunlit hours of the day; clubs, bars and cantinas never closed and certainly never stopped filling their customers with drugs and booze.
This could all be attributed to the thriving trade and lively spaceport culture of the transitionary planet. All manner of life forms transversed the melting pot that was Terminus, be they scummy criminals, Imperials, Mandalorians or even the odd Jedi or Sith. Everyone touched Terminus in some way or the other, it was just how it was.
No one lived on Terminus, but everyone who was in the transportation and trade business commuted there at some point.
Drooga was no different. Not surprised that his joblessness took him to Terminus, he’d taken to living in a seedy motel and visiting a close by Gentlemen’s club/Bar known as Nera’s Dream.
Nera; herself, was less of a dream then the bar’s name might have suggested. A blotchy skinned, wrinkly Toydarian Madam who punished her girls for currying favor from customers; and was prone to watering down all the alcohol she served to save a cred.
Drooga speculated it was why drugs were a much more common sight in this particular club than drinks. Not that he’d ever partaken, he just appreciated that he was allowed to smoke inside the club; as long as he didn’t get the smell on any of the girls. Which was quite easy for him as he never touched them.
Too sad for his taste.
Currently, the old Duros sat at a small booth that was situated on the perimeter of the main dance floor. He wasn’t keen on paying for the girls, but he liked to watch them; platonically of course. A young Nosaurian had taken a seat next to him and was trying to speak to him in Bocce. It wasn’t working out too well, the youth had given up and began bellowing and balking at Drooga in his own, primal language.
The Duros held up a hand and pressed it toward the other mans beak, halting the Nosaurian mid squawk. Growling low in his throat, Drooga leaned across the small table and stared him down. “Finitez cetez detox?” He tried Bocce first, and then thought better of it. “Try basic, my Bocce is rusty and I ain’t interested in chu shrieking in my face wit’ chu’r bird-speak”
Offended, the Nosaurian scoffed and ruffled before angrily pushing his seat away from the table and storming off to find someone more amiable. He had been trying to charter a rider from the Duros for the better part of an hour and only gotten offended in the process.
Left alone again, Drooga rolled his eyes and leaned back in the soft padded seat to watch several bar patrons gyrate to some sort of slow-beat warbled techno. He was definitely in search of a job, as his spending creds were considerably lower than he was comfortable with, but he wasn’t hurting so bad that he’d take a job that forced him to deal with communicating with something as annoying as a Nosaurian.
