Sometimes all you need is a drink...(Open)

[Horizon]

The crowds filled the walk-ways like any other night on the Queen of the Core. People were every where, different shapes and sizes. Coruscant was a melting pot of all types of culture. And crime covered the underblocks of the city from drug dealing to racketeering. It didint matter who you were or what
you are. Any one could make a living on corscant even a bounty hunter like
Alexander. But buisness was slow these past few months. Many of the jobs
would become available and were quickly filled up in a matter of no time.
But this didint stop Alex from having himself a good time. Walking into the
club, Alex headed directly for an empty stool at the bar. Moving through the crowds was easy for many people were in booths or now just on their way out. Laughter still filled the air as Alex sat down in the cold stool and waited on for the bartender to come around to him. Activating his wristmounted
holopad, Alex scrolled through his inbox taking the time to read each one.

They were either a message from his good friends or from work. Alex spent as
much time out of work as he could and the lack of work from the office, Alex could do just that. Late night partying with the women of this planet was no issue for him. Being a Zeltron had its quirks when it came to debauchery.
Slipping into thought, Alex thought about how fun and partying was a regular thing on his homeworld while the rest of the galaxy had its own issues.
It was a good and bad thing. But anyone who visited the home of the Zeltrons would most likely never want to leave.

"Say there, is there anything I can get you sir?"

"Oh yeah...Get me a round of reactor cores."

The bartender nodded his head as he turned to begin on the drinks.
Tonight was a night to forget. Not to get home sick and worry about work.
Removing his helmet, Alex's dark blue hair fell into place as his light pink skin was revealed. Soon the drinking would begin and Alex would forget the less pleasent things of his life. As if there was anything better during a night spent on the famed coruscant

Zyka stepped into the bar, drenched from the rain outside. Her body ebbed in tension from having to run all the way. "It's only a few blocks" the idiot she had asked had said.

The blasted planet was near lock down, and she was stuck here for the time being, searching for that kriffing smuggler. Like that would ever happen...

She took a seat, and the bartender hurriedly walked over to her.

"What may I-"

"Whatever is hard enough to nearly send me into a permanent coma..." Zyka said, her eyes darting careful at the other people along the bar row.

 

[Horizon]

As Alex sipped on another glass, another patron was already making themselves at home. She was in quite a hurry to get herself fast asleep with such strong drinks. But Alex didint care too much for such trivialities.
As he continued to sip on his reactor core, Alex decided to move over to a more comfortable spot. Walking over to an empty booth, Alex took off his wrist-mounted holopad and propped it up so he might sit and watch the latest holovids. Maybe there was something on the news. Who knew?

But anything was better than drinking alone. Too bad it would be plenty more drinks before he would be incapacitated by them due to his second liver which was normal for a Zeltron. Maybe tonight would take a turn for the better.

 

[Isis Kun]

Suddenly a ragged soaking rodian burst into the bar, immediatly running to the bar counter and scattering glasses everywhere shoving Alex to the side almost tipping him over on his stool he leaped over the counter and waved a small blaster pistol widly at the bartender. Directly behind ran Alexo fully armored she leaped over the counter planting both feet directly into the chest of the rodian smashing his body into the shelves, bottles and wall. The pistol went flying, quickly getting back up Alexo whipped out the repeating rifle she was carrying and turned the rodians head into a portrait of unrecognizable features. She hadn't shot earlier due to the possibility of accidently hitting someone else in the bar.
She bent down and picked up a heavy purse and said quietly, "Never steal from a Mandalorian". Turning to face the bartender in her soaking white armor she ordered a drink for everyone still in the bar. Hopefully that would satisfy the bartender enough to not get violent with the minor wrecking of his establishment. Then she set to the task of removing what was left of the corpse out to the trash heap.

 

[Horizon]

Everyone was quiet as the Mandalorian gave that Rodian quite a thrashing.
Infact in as the silence continued, Alex dropped his glass in order to break the silence. But as soon as everyone heared that they were all getting drinks it was a rather different story. But in truth, Alex didint even know what a mandalorian was. To him, she looked like any other regular person.

He didint watch the holovids that much on current politics regarding the war and no one he knew talked about them realy. Jumping up out of his seat while dawning his helmet once more, Alex strapped on his wrist-mounted holopad as he approached the so called Mandalorian.

"Excuse me but would like me to help you move that body? Or would you rather the authoritys just accuse you and put you away?"

At least if Alex helped he could help her in case of the authoritys arriving, Alex could set those guys straight.
She was quite battle hardy yet still held such things as she was just some regular woman. The galaxy was just a strange place and it kept getting stranger by the minute.

 

[Isis Kun]

Alexo looked at the odd man, "Unless your hiring, i'm good. She was never much of a talker and tis guy was no exception. She hadn't been able to get another job for a while and needed to save every credit she could. She proceeded to drag the bleeding corpse with one arm out around to the back and threw it with ease into the trash container. In a place this big, no one cared about a common thief dissapearing, it happened every day.

 

[Horizon]

Hiring. That sounded like a great idea! Especialy hiring the tank that just disposed of a theif as if it was nothing. Perhaps this mandalorian could find
his father's murderer. If she could then Alex could finaly exact his revenge upon him with his own two blasters. Now it was time to see what the
reaction might be...

"Since you mentioned "hiring". I would be more than happy to hire you to track someone down for a sum of eight hundred credits."

If the mandalorian turned him down he would thank her for taking the time to think about the proposition and leave. But if she accepted he would give her more details on the mission.

 

[Isis Kun]

Alexo didn't hesitate at the offer, "1000 creds in case I get shot, deal." She would have to contact a 'friend' and have him help. She didn't know him well, but he knew a lot more about finding people than she did, and he would want to be payed too. Which would come out of her pocket. "What are the details?". She asked as she pulled out a small communicater and sent a simple message to a friend. 'Job find target 500 creds interested?' She didn't like communicating with people while her finger wasn't pulling the trigger of her rifle.

 

[Santoro]

Arden was sitting in his Coruscant suite, in the upper class districts when his commlink buzzed on the side table next to him. He chose to ignore it for a moment, letting out a little sigh.

The quiet neighbor on his floor, Arden had all of the lights off in his apartment, hoping that he'd be left alone. He had sunken into his cushiest chair, looking out the darkened window and watching the congested space lanes. It was soothing, watching people going about their normal lives... Reminded him what he was fighting for.

It had been a long deployment, the last one. His legs still ached from the stilts, and he hadn't quite gotten the smell of blaster discharge out of his hair, but he did as he was trained to do, and picked up his comm, flipping the screen on. To his surprise, it wasn't from the boss, but a contact from Mandalore, of all places.

"Job find target 500 creds interested?" He looked at the wall chrono. It was small change, and it was late, but he didn't have anything in the foreseeable future. Arden decided that he'd drop this chase in a heartbeat if something bigger came up, and stood to prepare. He was already dressed in a casual yet stylish Coruscanti suit, so he grabbed his essentials and headed out the door.

He didn't need to ask where she was- it would only be a formality, and it was good to keep clients and even partners on edge. He instead made a quick call to his technical-oriented buddy at the office, and he was in the air taxi. Within twenty minutes, Arden Gunel strode through the nightclub's doors, scanning for his contact.

 

[Horizon]

The mandalorian was most likely not going to be shot at but rather cut down if not too careful. tracing his fingers along the small keys located on his wrist-mounted holopad, Alex brought up the video that was sent to him a couple of years ago. The man was tall yet skinny.
His head was shaved along with any hair that would be on his besides his eyebrows. As for his clothing it was some basic robes that were tattered yet with a distinct marking. An X could be seen on the shoulder of the robe while at the ends of the X were smallers x,s. Even if the man had change his appearence he had a lead...

"This is the man you will be after. Take note he is some sort of jedi. Fallen or not I doubt he would be able to find you before you found him. His last known exact location was on the planet of Naboo hiding in some marshes."

Alex flipped off his holo-pad and removed his helmet and placed it at his side.
Then he extended his hand for a mere hand shake to seal the deal.

"So what do you say?"

 

[Isis Kun]

Alexo studied the hologram of the odd looking man closely. "Deal." She said as her hand overlapped his in a firm grip. "I'll contact you when I've found him."
She walked back towards the bar then, and sat down waiting for what seemed only a few moments before somene she recognized walked into the bar. She got up and walked towards Arden nodding once in a sort of acknowleged greeting.

 

[Santoro]

Arden barely nodded, just enough for Alexo to notice. He had sat down and gotten his drink before she'd spotted him, so he sipped happily on a glass of clear liquor. He was in a good mood tonight, or so it seemed, which was a far cry from his normal stormy and closed off demeanor. He waited until Alexo sat down, looking over her armor.

Funny, wasn't long ago I was bombing her people. He suppressed a grin, instead waving over the serving droid.

"On me, miss Savinah." He had pulled up her file on the way over, using his long list of contacts. Interesting, this one was- seemed to crave danger. It wouldn't turn out the best for her bounty hunting career, but that wasn't his concern.

"So, who's our guy?"

 

[Isis Kun]

Alexo sat down next to Arden and handed over all the information she had gotten on their target. If someone didn't start shooting them soon, she would have to increase Arden's cut of the pay. She wasn't any good at tracking unless it was so obvious it wasn't worth paying. But she had friends like Arden, who sipped his drink across from her. He was the kind of guy who didn't stand out in a crowd, and was much more than he looked. At least thats what she thought, humans looked the same to her.

While he looked over the data, she said, "I hope this will be a quick job."

 

[Santoro]

Arden took the datapad, flipping through its contents as if he were looking over today's sports. He took another sip of his drink and closed it down, sliding it across the table and back to Alexo.

"Seems like a walk in the park. Since you can't exactly be sneaky in that flashy armor of yours, you'll have to make it obvious we're following him. Then I'll pop out and catch him off guard. Sound like a plan?" He readied to leave.

 

[Isis Kun]

Did he mean to capture him? Alexo didn't care much either way, finding wasn't her specialty, but capturing was a breeze for her. They might get a bonus for hand delivering their target too. If this guy was a jedi, that meant they had to be careful, and smart about how they did this.
She gave an affirmative nod to her partner in response to his plan and got up to follow him. Until he found the guy, she was just extra baggage for him. When they found him...then Alexo would be a valuble asset.

 

[Horizon]

Dawning his helmet once more, Alex procedded out the door and headed torwards the docks to get a transport going. He wanted to be there and see
the mandalorian capture the man that killed his father. Alex thought of so many ways he might kill him once they apprehended him.

But Alex knew none of them would be quick and easy for the man.
Too bad he couldnt kill him over and over again. But Alex stepped back in and walked back over to Alexo's table. Putting down a small piece of paper with Alex's frequency for his telecommunicator. Turning back around, Alex headed to the docks once more to find his ride.

 

[Santoro]

Gunel stood, stretching casually and nodding towards the door- as calm as if they were going for a stroll.

"Shall we?" He turned and led the way, forgetting most forms of gentlemanly courtesy. In armor, all she was to him was a wildcard- he'd had too many allies turn at the last second... And he wouldn't make the mistake now. His kinetic pistol bounced safely against his side with each step- a reassuring thump that reminded him he always had an escape. When they exited the bar, Arden turned on his datapad, preparing a message. He tapped in the information he already had about the mark, then turned to Alexo.

"Nows the time to tell me any leads- even if we have a name, there's probably over a hundred thousand 'Alexo's in this quadrant alone."

 

[Isis Kun]

((startin college yay, wild weekend also, srry took me a bit to post srry this post is really short, i have to get up early tommorrow and do actual physical excersise lol))

Alexo flanked him as they walked, when he asked for leads, she told him her thoughts about their target being an jedi of some sort. Jedi, sith, they were all the same to her. That should narrow the list down a lot either way she hoped.

 

[Santoro]

((Hehe, not a problem- I'm in the same boat. Is the mark going to enter the thread, or are we hunting NPCs?))

Gunel looked to his datapad, putting in the final details and sending. He continued to walk, looking in shop windows, seemingly a night on the town with a woman in armor. In less than a minute, a message came back- picture, name, and government records.

"Well, we've got an address. Pick him up there or go to his work?"

 

[Isis Kun]

Alexo just needed the money and the sooner the better. "Whichever is closest." She then proceeded to follow her partner to their target's work. It was a small office to the north and it didn't take long for them to find it. The office was just a convenience of location for the actual main company's base of operations to deliver their goods.

The entrance had one guard on duty who checked everyone on a list he had. As they approached she didn't need to pull Gunel aside to formulate a plan of entry.
