It was not often that Thai found herself alone wandering the streets of Coruscant. Though not a native of the planet, she had grown up here, and she knew that certain places were unwise for her to be. Despite knowing this, tonight was a bit different. She had gone to pick up a special bottle of wine from a supplier on one of the lower levels of Coruscant. It was an expensive purchase, but it was popular among a few of her wealthy regulars, and it paid off in the end. Though the source of it was...questionable and her supplier sketchy, he had always had honest dealings with her.
Due to some complications at her bar, Thai had gone to pick up the wine a lot later than she was used to. Her supplier had even advised her to come at a different time--he'd be free tomorrow--but she needed the bottle for tomorrow. So the Togruta woman was alone, walking the streets of lower Coruscant with nothing but a blaster on her thigh and a cloak thrown over her montrals. Her path was lit by yellow, flickering street-lamps and populated with the various sentients of the level. Shadows loomed over her as she walked; as did the eyes of a certain individual.
"Hey sweet-cheeks, you headed this way?"
A sleezy Twi'liek slid in next to the traveling Togruta and tried to slip his hand around her waist. Rightfully uncomfortable, Thai slapped his hand away and glared up at the man. "No, not at all." Thai quickly changed her path and veered off into the nearest side-street, hugging her bag closest to her body. She could feel his eyes follow her as she hurried away.
This was not what I wanted tonight. Thai pulled out her datapad and began to poke away at the device. She wasn't sure how to get back without using the main road. Distracted, Thai did not notice as several shady figure began to follow her. And by the time she did, she had wandered down the wrong road and ended up cornered by three armed thugs. Three thugs and the sleezy Twi'liek.
"Well, well, well, someone seems lost," smirked the Twi'liek. "I think we'd be willing to help you out of here, if you'd give us something in return." Blaster in hand, he gestured with it to her bag. "What's in the bag sweet-cheeks? Something expensive? Why don't'cha let us have it, hmm?"
"Fellas, fellas, we're all friends here-" Thai slowly raised in hands up in response to the four blasters aimed at her. "-we're all just trying to make a living. I'm hardly Mr. Moneybags." She lowered her hands in front of her. "Just let me-"
"That's enough outta you. Either empty your pockets, or...come with us if you have nothing else to offer."
Thai tensed up. This was not an ideal situation for her.
