OOC: I decided to start a new thread for Naboo just to keep things a bit more organized.

IC:
Thew rolled out from behind the crate, sending two blasts towards the Rodian's head. As he saw the Rodian fall to the ground and bolt exploded over Thew's head. He dived away just as a large container fell from the warehouse shelves above, knocked down by the blast, smashed to the ground.

"Thats three down and two to go..." Thew thought to himself.

Holding his blaster pistol in a locked grip in front of him, Thew rounded a corner into and office. From behind a doorway popped out a Duros wielding a blaster rifle. He fired twice, sending Thew for cover out of the doorway as he let off a blind shot behind him. They exchanged a few more volleys when Thew started to look for another alternative. Scanning the area around him he noticed a missing ceiling tile. Hoisting himself up into the empty crawl space he tossed his blaster onto the ground, creating a loud clattering noise.

"Come on out now" Thew whispered.

The Duros came creeping out of the room, rifle at the ready. Quickly scanning the area, the rifle dropped to his side in a loose grip. Thew dropped down from the ceiling, his hands locked together in a fist. Clubbing the alien on his way down, he finished him with a quick kick to the head. Picking up the rifle and sliding his pistol into the back off his belt, Thew proceeded into the office.

Suddenly a human walked out from the shadows, one hand holding a Bothan male hostage, and the other holding a vibro-blade to his throat.

Man: Put it down...

Gently setting the rifle on the ground, Thew dropped his hands to his sides.

Man: That's it now, nice and easy. Now walk towards me, real slow...

As Thew headed towards him, the human pushed the Bothan aside and lunged towards Thew. Catching the knife hand, Thew sent a blow to the man's face as he crumpled to the floor. Immedeatly Thew grasped his blaster, and sent a bolt straight into the throat of the man.

"How many times do I have to tell you Mr. Rydur! Lethal force is your last resort!!" Thew heard a voice say

All of the sudden Thew realized he was in the training simulation room. Popping of his googles, his eyes squinted at the pure white, luminescent walls. He removed his sim-suit and made his way towards the exit. A short, portly man of about 40 stepped in front off him.

Man: You know if you could have restrained yourself you would have gotten the top score on this test! Killing that man lost you 50 points! You could have beaten Yogh's score by 23 points if you weren't so foolish!

With a hint a sarcasm in his voice, Thew replied:
Thew: Yes, I know Sgt. Fakll, I'm sorry...

Walking out of the training area, Thew saw Yogh staring at one of the observation screens. Thew walked past, thinking that for once, Yogh wouldn't notice him.

Yogh: Good work, Rydur. Not good enough though, I'm afraid.

Ignoring Yogh's snide remark, Thew clenched and released his wrists, then walked by.

OOC: I was thinking you might be at the same academy thing Wraith, maybe we're roommates or something? ;)

OOC:My character's (a wookie) name is Tarro.
IC:
A public transport decended, landing at Theed's spaceport. Many poeple disembarked, among them a wookie named Tarro. Tarro had only three things: his architect tools, credits, and his knowledge.
OOC: This is happening like 50 years before the time of SWG.
IC:
Tarro hired a speeder to take him to Naboo's property building. He bought a small forest from the government. He then had the speeder take him to his forest. The driver was curious, why would anyone want to go to the middle of nowhere? Tarro paid the driver and the driver left. Over the next week Tarro made himself a wood cabin, and got his own food from the forest.
After his cabin was complete, Tarro hiked to town and bought all sorts of appliances for his house. Tarro did this every day for a month, turning his log cabin into a modern building. He even had power lines run to his cabin. Then for 50 years he practiced being an architect. He had gone to schools around the galaxy, but now he was teaching himself.
50 years later
Tarro went into Theed, and got a job as an architect. He sold some of his better plans from the last 50 years for spare credits.

OOC: He'll have to meet an associate somehow, but I can't think of how or where right now...

*Corzip ends his talk with his father through the Holonet and cleans up his bunk. he straightens his bed. It was a long watch last night. He got back 6 AM Theed standart time. He had heard Thew get up but fell asleep just as fast. it was now 11 AM Theed standart time, he only slept for 5 hours. Usually he slept for 8 straight hours, but today he got up early. It was his day off, he was planning on heading to the city plaza and strole through the market place.

The door slided open and thew walked in*

Corzip: Hey there buddy. How did the sim go? got better then Yogh?

The dimly lit city below was just coming awake as a small, beaten ship entered the local airspace. It was identified by Theed security, and its request for repairs was granted.

That ship slowly made its way down to the Theed hangars and settled in gently among other ships of all design and make in the private landing bays. The city was beginning to come alive during the early morning yawns of the sun washing against the polished walls.

As the blast doors closed, there came a voice over the radio: "Dentre... Just leave the doors open. That's another DAMN beautiful sunrise here on Naboo." The blast doors soon made a whining noise as they stopped their descent, early morning dew dripping off onto the edge of the cold floors.

The small ship that no one seemed to notice, nor care for, let down a small boarding hatch along with a metal case of stairs that just kissed the oil stained steel. There was a tremendous crash and some technicians jumped in their suits.

The boarding ramp had just managed to come unhinged from the small ship, and had clammered to the ground with a torrential ruccus of metal against metal. There came an angry wookie growl of rage as technicians hurried towards the commotion.

OOC: Thus begins our adventures on Naboo.:D

EDIT: There. Now it is less repetitive.;)

ok time to edit this now

IC:
Shreneka couldnt beleive this. Those TIE's had torn his ship boarding ramp. Of all the the things. Jumping down from the ships new door he growled and shreiked like never before. Nygle and Arina looked over to K23-po.
You dont need me to translate that do you. Well it looks were gonna be stuck here just slightly longer then expected... you might aswell make the most of it. You two will have to go with shreneka without me and do the best you can to communicate. He understands basic you should be fine. Im gonna stay and monitor the ship.

meanwhile shreneka had been talking to the mechanics. Even though he didnt have the ability to speak basic he still got his point across. maybe not in the nicest way. Shreneka had picked up the landing ramp (as wookies do :D) and waived it around in the air before one of the mechanics had calmed in down abit. Still discussing the issue of the repair with the Rodian mechanics he signaled for Nygle and Arina to join him. As he was having some slight problems telling them about the busted shield generator.

Arina came awake as she heard an announcement come over the ship PA.

"NOW ENTERING THEED AIRSPACE. WE WILL BE LANDING SHORTLY." There was a click of static as the PA died down and Arina stirred awake. She had slept fitfully and had oddly enough dreamt of nothing at all. She felt refreshed, but still hopped into the sonic shower before she was fully energetic.

She dried her hair and wrapped a towel around her as she left the bathroom to don her silky robes. She examined the patch in the garments where the fabric was missing and had turned a darkened black around the edges.

I could have suffered much worse. My arm is still perfectly usable... and hell, I am still breathing. I admit, father, your training may have saved my life. There was no telling what that Bothan had injected me with... Hmm........... I thought my memory would have fully returned by now. Did I really... kill him? That is a definate yes. But the Imperials? The one with the scar along his cheek?

Arina faught back a rising emotion deep within her; anger.

I must have done it... killed him. He was also there with the Bothan. They spoke of my mother... How she... she... I cannot remember. She put off her thoughts as the PA came again with another announcement.

"NOW DOCKING IN THEED HANGARS. PLEASE WAIT." The static click came again.

Arina left the bed chambers after dressing in the battle stained robes. She would wear them with honor now. She made her way quickly to the med bay and grabbed her weather cloak. The ship had successfully docked, but there came a muffled howl of pure rage. She made her way to the bridge where she saw Shreneka leap off of the ship.

How odd. Shouldn't this ship have a boarding dock?

Arina moved closer to inspect what the wookie was growling about. There stood a few Rodian technicians outside the ship ducking under the boarding ramp that the wookie was brandishing. He seemed quite upset, to say the least. She gently let herself down from the hole in the raggedy ship and made sure her sword was tied securely to her belt, and that her various equipment was there.

Satisfied, Arina made her way carefully around the wookie. She was hungry, and she did not care to stick around until the technicians called security. She would meet up with him later. After all, how hard could it be to find a wookie on Theed with her capability for gathering information?

She hummed to herself as the technicians tried to translate the enraged Shreneka's grunts and growls. Arina started towards the market place to find something to eat. And she knew just the place, too.

Slowly awaking from his seat that the table, Nygle looks around to find that they are on Naboo, and have safely landed at the docking bays. I must have fell asleep even before I got to take my second bite. Looking down and seeing his half eaten pastry roll on the floor. I wonder where even one is. As that thought crossed his mind, he heard Shreneka outside. Nygle stands up from his chair and walks outside to see Shreneka waving his hand for him to follow. Wipeing the sleep from his eyes, and running his fingers threw is facial hair. He jumps down from the ramp, and walks over to Shreneka. Good Morning Shreneka, sorry I passed out on you guys last night. I think that battle took alittle more out of me that I thought. Why don't we find a place to crash, while the Techs work on the old girl. as Nygle says that, he turns to look at the damage.Lets find a place with a good price, we might be here awail.

*Corzip walks over the market and just sees on one of the update screens that the starships have arrived in the port.
good. He thought. he walked over to the Geonsian with all his pearls and gems.*

Corzip: Goodmorning. How are you this day?

*The Geonosian Clicked and shouted something.*

Corzip: Looks good. Ill take 2 of the purple gemstones. and a bag of that diamond dust. oo and give me some of those Krait dragon pearls.

*The geonosian bagged it all and Corzip picked up his datapad and made a connection with the local auction of all sorts of things.. he put up his gems and the diamond dust and put a slightly higher price on them.
He paid the Geonosian and wondered off to find some Jawa Juice Ingedients.*

Arina quickly moved through the streets of Theed as more and more people filled the streets. The market was not far off. For some indescribable reason, she craved Jawa Juice. Just something she had missed since her early days of exile from the planet of Naboo. Tatooine had some good Jawa Juice, but nobody knew how to make it like Fel Swen, the Zabrak who ran the little shop next to the exotic foods place where she would often go to meet an old friend long removed from her mind.

As Arina entered Fel's shop, she bumped into a young man... Something in her mind clicked.

I know him. That is Corzad... Corzinn... I do not recall his last name... I am surprised I would bump into him here...

Arina brushed back her hair as she apologized. It has been so long. Eight years I believe, and he has not strayed from this planet... He's smart. I wonder if he ever did make it into the Theed Royal Guard?

The young man started to enter Fel's shop after apologizing in turn, but without warning, Arina found herself clutching his arm.

"I know you....... Do.....do you... remember me?"

Arina searched his face for any sign of recognition. Yes. This is definatetly him. I just wish I could remember his name. It is a dishonor to speak to him without his name. I cannot be formal.

She held her breath and waited.

OOC: Wraith, this is your cue.:D

OOC:
So yeah, I'm gong to join in your fun here. I guess I better repost my character bio, as many here don't know me that well (and mycharacter has gone through a hell of a lot of changes)

Name: Varan Lamont (The last name is a constant, but the first may change if it is taken.)

Race: Human

Description: Look at my avatar. That's a picture of me, and i'm going to make him look as much like me as I can. And yes, I know that means I'm going to look like Spike.

Profession: Bounty Hunter, for serious.

IC:


A speeder drives into Theed and slows next to a gem trader. The man riding it comes to a stop and gets off. The Geonosian working the shop begins to click wildly and gesture towards the bike, but the man doesn't break stride. With a slight flick of his wrist, he pulls back his cloak to reveal a pistol strapped to his outer thigh, another stuck in his boot and several thermal detonators hanging from his belt. The Geonosian goes quiet and returns to his jewels. The man continues walking through the crowd, gracefully dodging between patrons of the various shops. Coming up behind Corzip, he grabs him around the neck from behind and forces him into an alley. Slamming him into a wall, Corzip kicks the man in the shin and spins around, aiming an elbow at his temple. The man ducks the blow and pinning Corzip's arm to the wall grins.

Man
Corzip Dinn. How the hell are you?

Corzip
Varan? Varan Lamont? Where have you....How did you find me?

Varan
I'm still a bounty hunter, Corzip. Finding people is what I do.

Corzip
This is incredible...where are you headed?

Varan
Nowhere. I'm between jobs right now, so I'm just roaming the galaxy.

Corzip
Well if you'd like you can come with us.

Varan
Us?

Corzip
Let me explain....

The two walk through the crowd back to Varan's speeder, Varan listening as Corzip fills him in on everything that has happened since the last they met.

Corzip Dinn! That was it. So he had made it into the Royal Guard... Well it was obvious he could. He had the drive and the ambition.

Arina thought for a moment, quickly broke eye contact and introduced herself in turn.

"I am Lady Arina X'Hiari, daughter of Duke and Duchess X'Hiari, Keren, Naboo. We were friends briefly... Eight years ago... I, uh... left Naboo for Tatooine due to an attempt on my life. I hated the cowards approach, but sometimes it is the only option left open. I have lost contact with my home. What has happened here since my leave? Please, would you do me the honor."

Arina released Corzip and held out her arm, a smile spread across her face.

I'm home. But have the assassins forgotten about me? This could turn out interesting if they haven't.

The mischevious gleam returned to her deep green eyes.

Corzip. It HAS been a while.

*Corzip shook her hand with a joyous feeling to find an old friend again*

"You... remember me?"

Arina turned a bright red as she looked away.

"I would be delighted to accompany you for a drink, Corzip. Lead the way."

Arina gave him a curt nod and they started off to the bar.

"Well, as for your previous questions. It is, well... embarassing to say the least. My parents trained me to be able to defend myself, but I was always a rogue and got in trouble. My parents really cracked down on me then. My father intensified my training while the Duchess X'Hiari focused on teaching me the values of clear thinking. I was always interested in learning about people and happenings in the galaxy. I hear from reliable sources, my contacts on Tatooine, that an old man by the name of Ben Kenobi accompanied Luke Skywalker to a cantina in Mos Eisley, a spaceport there on Tatooine. They say he was a Jedi... I did not see it first hand, but I here that the Empire had some trouble with them on the Death Star. They rescued a princess of Alderaan."

Arina watched the denizens of the market place to make sure she was not in any danger. Either from the petty muggers, pickpockets... Or her would-be assassins. It looked clear.

"Oh! Excuse me. I am getting far off the orginal topic. I ran across some troubles with attempts on my life. It was blackmail against the Duke and Duchess, and instead of dealing with them directly, my parents decided to exile me from Naboo. They sent me on a transport bound for Tatooine. They had cleaned their hands of me. It was years on that desert before I got word of their condition. They had been caught dealing with the Keren underworld and illegal spice smuggling. The Imperials ousted them from their home and took them to a mining facility. What irony I find in that... is not at all comforting."

Arina made sure no one was following them too closely to listen in on her. No one gave them a second glance. She was content.

"They, my sources that is, said that my father had put up resistance at the country manor and had made intricate plans to, without my knowledge, get me to infiltrate the Imperial ranks and become a Royal Imperial Guard to the Emperor. Through my training, I would see through the Emperor and betray him. At the cost of my own life, I would slay the Emperor, and it would not have been traced back to my father. I also learned that the Duchess was selling information about our family to the Imperials indirectly. She was most willing to give up information about me in particular. I do not know if she yet lives today, but my father is planning an insurrection at his mining facility, and has managed contact to the outside. In the confusion, he will board an Imperial ship piloted by a covert Rebel agent. May the Angels set their mercy upon him."

They continued walking in silence for a few moments, when Arina spoke up again.

"I have been making credits dealing in information. Someone wants me to find someone or something, I name a price, and I pursue the goal until completed. Recently though, I came across some information that was not meant to be discovered, and yet again, found myself hunted. I eluded them for a time, but I was unfortunate enough to come across a rather drunk Imperial commander on leave in one of the cantinas. I guess I caught his attention, so he sent some men to "collect" me. I resisted and he had me arrested. The rest I do not remember. It is just a blank, hollow gap in my memory."

The young girl gasped and held her hand to her mouth, stunned. She stopped walking.

"How did I allow myself to tell you all this? He is another liability. Another potential knife in my back. Now I am bound to him... I should not have said any of this. If you could please disregard all of this... please."

Arina shut her eyes and began to think, waiting for this man, Corzip's, answer.

shreneka had not spoken a word since he and nygle had left the docking bay. Why should he have? Nygle wouldnt be able to understand him anyway. Shreneka was beginning to regret that he had left his protocol droid back at the ship. but it was probably for the best. he stopped to look over towards one of the cantinas.

nygle wasnt really paying much attention and walked past.

Greooowl
that got his attention. Nygle spun around and faced the wookie as he pointed towards the cantina. he nodded in response. and the pair entered.

That sounds like a good idea, maybe we can find out why the IMPs where so interested in us. The Cantina is fulled with a tart smoke, that bellows out the door as Shreneka and Nygle enters. There are a number of different races at the long wooden bar at the far end of the room. At the other end, there is a sexy female Twi'Lek singing a jazzy tone called Tattooine Sand. Nygle and Shreneka heads over to a corner table. As Nygles sits down, a humale female comes up to the table. Can I get you guys a drink? We'll have 2 Ales. Says Nygle as the human gives hurries to help other customers.

*Looked at Arina in confusion*

Corzip: Wow, you had a busy life. And dangerous. man had i known you were in that much trouble i would have tried to help you.

*The cantina they entered was not as any other. It was a very spacious cantina. the place where all the seats and booths were in a hall that was about 2 levels high. only there was no second level. there was a sort of balcony indoor. with stairs leading up. The cantina provided some rooms to sleep in for travelers. As they entered Corzip saw a wookie standing by the bar and his companion and he bought a drink. Also there was a twi'lek dancing and a lot of people sitting in the cantina. Corzip and Arina sat in an empty boot by a window overseeing the market plaza. The market was a busy spot. all kinds of aliens from all over the galaxy tried to deal there. They sat down and Corzip gently waved toward the bar patron and he send over a droid to the booth. As they waited for the droid to arrive Corzip spoke to Arina:*

Corzip: Well to tell you what is going on in my life is that ima pilot for the Naboo security force... but The empire is ruining it for us pilots and is about to throw the whole security force away... im thinking of leaving here. The empire destroyed all. Im thinking of going into the trader business ... I have some contacts on Corellia.

Droid: what shall it be my lady

Corzip: We'll both have a Jawa Juice.

*Corzip smiled at Arina. and gazed off toward the bar and saw the bartender giving him a nod. He was a good friend of Corzip. He then met the gaze of the wookie he saw earlier. the wookie was staring at him. probably wondering how easy he can pull out an arm. Corzip looked back at Arina as she spoke to him*

The landing legs whined as the transport hovered into the spaceport. The craft gently descended to the landing pad, and let out multiple hisses as valves blew out white steam. After a few seconds of silence, multiple suction noises signaled the lowering of entrance ramps on the bottom of the craft. As they reached the ground, chaos ensued as a sea of impatient travelers exited the ship. In the middle of it all was Grask Lekkren. Grask was a slightly muscular Zabrak of about 6 feet, with tattoos adorning his cheeks, chin, and the back of his neck. His horns were evenly spaced about his head, and were all about 1 1/2 inches long. He wore a combat vest, camouflage cargo pants, combat boots, and carried a duffle bag with his luggage in it. In the middle of the chaos, he was in no hurry at all.

It had been 25 years since Grask had set foot on Naboo. He was born here, but left soon after with his father, Zarith. His father took him to the city world of Coruscant, where he lived his entire life. Having nothing left there, and wanting to return to his home world, he decided to take the next transport to Naboo. There was one problem though; he knew no one on Naboo. He would have to find a place to stay, and a way of making credits, or else he wouldn't last very long. He had some money at the moment, so he decided the more important thing would be a place to stay.

Grask casually walked out of the space terminal, and out into the city. He looked around, and took in all the beauties of Naboo. The city was not even comparable to Coruscant, but it didn't matter. Naboo was beautiful with it's lush green grass, beautiful birds, and fresh air. Grask stood in awe.

A speeder taxi sat idle a few feet away, so the Zabrak decided to get in.

Driver: Where too?

Grask: A cantina or hotel. Someplace I can stay.

With that, the taxi sped away.

As the taxi sped through the streets, Grask absorbed the city. It was less crowded then Coruscant, which he liked, but seemed almost empty. It would take some getting used to. The taxi came to a halt outside of a cantina, and the door opened. Grask paid the driver, exited the speeder, and made his way inside.

He got a room, and made his way to it. His room wasn’t very big, but it didn’t matter. All he needed was a place to sleep and keep his things. He sat on the edge of his bed and thought about what he would do next. On Coruscant, Grask had worked for a local crime lord, and been a mercenary for hire. He might be able to do that still, but it would be harder to find jobs in a place of this size. He decided not to worry about it; tonight he would enjoy himself. He had finally returned home.

Grask made his way to the main floor, and took a seat at a booth by himself. A waitress came over, and he ordered a drink. He sat back, and relaxed.

OOC: I don’t know if I’ll be able to talk to anybody, but I thought now would be as good a time as any to come in.

OOC: Sorry, but i'm leaving this thread now, because basically I started of a conversation with the wrong person. After he stopped posting, I basically started on a wild goose chase while still trying to keep my character going. I couldn't do it, so, oh well.

shrenekeka took one last look at his pint before he threw its contents to the back of his throat. he wiped away the foam from what would be his moustache(if you can say that wookies have moustaches). He glanced over at the man again.

im sure thats arian siting next to him... but who is he. what are they talking about... this is driving me insane i have to find out. But i dont wish to intrude. after all i have no idea what theyre like. I know. Ill just sneak over there the back way and listen in..... aww what am i thinking. I dont know the firt thing about sneeking around and my size doesnt make it any easier.

He gave Nygle a tap on the sjpulder and pointed at Arina

Nygle turns to where Arina is at, and see's her talking to another human. Turning back to Sherekeka, and almost senseing that the wookiee wants to her, but doesn't to intrude. You know, that's what Bothans do best. As he says that, he palms a microtransmetor. Leaning over to make it look like he is picking something off the ground, Nygle slides the microtran over to where Arina and her friend is talking. If my aim was correct, we should be able to hear what they are saying. Laying a datapad on the table so Sherekeka and him can hear.

Thew scanned the market, looking for any signs of Corzip.

Now where are you... He muttered under his breath.

I guess I'll check the local watering holes. Thew thought to himself.

He headed for a cantina he knew Corzip frequented. Walking inside he looked towards the bar.

Yep, thats him alright... but who's the girl? I guess I'll go find out... Wondered Thew.

He walked towards Corzip and Arina and held his hand up in the air.

Thew: Corzip! Hows it going?

*Corzip saw the bothan do something from teh corner of his eye. He tried not to notice them to much. he faced Arina and spoke to her in the middle of her story about how beatifull tattooine sunsets were.*

Corzip: Say Arina. Sorry to intrude you, but do you know that wookie and the bothan standing next to him?

*Just as he asked Thew walked into the cantina and stood infront of the 2 persons. He saw Corzip and stared confused at the woman. Corzip raised his hand to wave Thew over to their table. Thew came over to the booth.*

Thew: Corzip! Hows it going?

Corzip: Im fine man? got over your scoring *Corzip laughed* Im sorry, how rude of me. I would like you to meet Arina X...... *Corzip hesitated for a moment, he finally saw what the bothan was doing. He was listening to their conforsation. And if Arina was being pursued he better keep it to himself* Arina. She and i knew eachother years ago. well actually our parents did and we got to know eachother. Sit down Thew, want some Jawa Juice? or Corellian Ale?

Thew sat on a stool next to Corzip.

Thew: An ale will be fine.

Thew monitioned with his eyes to Corzip at the two eaves-dropping aliens, then winked. He then turned to Arina and held out his hand.

Thew: Pleasure to meet you, I'm Thew Rydur.

"I am charmed and delighted, I'm sure. So you are a friend of old Corzip here? I never met you."

Arina laughed inwardly to herself. The Bothan just pulled off one of the simplest tricks there is in spying. He just casually slides a microtransmitter under our table? And am I to notice? Of course not.

She smiled broadly and flipped her hair back out of her eyes, then looked serious once more.

wonder if Corzip still remembers the innuendo I was teaching him so long ago. I'll try something simple.

"Corzip. Don't worry about baking those two Corellian Ale cakes for the party later, ok? Don't worry about them, I know what I am doing. They will be iced with red and yellow, and I will trace the cakes carefully with some Tattoinian Cream..."

Arina started to smile again and her shoulders shook slightly; she hardly felt the mild stinging of her wound.

"Oh, wait... The Tattoinian Cream containers are busted, so I have to buy some new ones in order to bake the pastries correctly. I also hear that my Corellian Ale cakes are highly anticipated, and that there... will be party-goers waiting for them at the event when we get there... So we will need to get moving fast and use the back... entrance so we can surprise... everyone and... deliver my goods."

Arina could not contain herself any longer. Her shoulders shook even more and she held her hand up to her face. he was turning red.

"Please... excuse me." The hints of her smile shining from behind her palm as she turned a deeper red. Arina shook her head slowly.

Oh! My Angels, have mercy... I messed that up so bad that I would be surprised if even I knew what I just said. And here I thought he would be the one to not understand... Corellian Ale cakes!

"I am sorry. I am so..."

Arina could not see any longer as tears welled at her eyes.

OOC: are you crying ot laughing? :D

IC:
*When Arina start talking like that Corzip first had like NO clue what she was talking about. Then he slowly began to see what she was up to. exit through the back entrance.. ok.. good idea.
Thew Looked extremely puzzled but when he glanced at the 2 figures at the bar and saw a hint of corellian clothing he understood. He nodded at her and at Corzip.*

Corzip: I think that is a marvelous idea. I say we go one by one and you as second. that would be surprising more. Thew should go first and we will go with my speeder. you second and i will be behind you.

*Corzip looked at Thew and he nodded as he understood they would go out one at a time and head toward Corzips speeder garage. Arina should follow behind thew and Corzip would wait and follow a bit later. Thew and Arina started to raise from the booth.*

Well Shreneka, what do you want to do? It looks like she has found an old friend, and is looking to move on.When will humans ever learn, when you use a Sumglers Cant 'BakeSale'. You really need to lead into in and not stop the flow of a convercation. Damn, I bet the whole cantina stop to listen in.Nygle enters in a few commands on his datapad, and brings up a Silent White Noise Damponing Field around the table. I think we need to figure what we plan on doing. You have a load to deliver to the core, and I need to get my ship off the sandbox. Tapping a few more commands in his datapad. Ok, I got us a place setup to crash for the night. It's about 2 blocks down, and is rated to be a nice hotel. Nygle drop the field as the waitress walks up with there drinks.What can I get you boys to eat? Well have 2 specials and make it a double for my friend here. As she walks away with there order, nygle turns to Shreneka. You want me to get a hold of K23-po, and have him move our stuff to the rooms?

Arina stood silently and flipped her back. As she did so, one of her earrings fell off and rolled to a stop near Shreneka. It was a rather beautiful jade color, studded with topaz and in the shape of some strange symbol.

Arina did not notice the earring fall as she followed Thew out the doors. Next would be Wraith.

*Corzip saw Arina's earing drop. and it rolled to near the big wookies feet. The wookie looked at the earing and then looked at Arina going out the door. Corzip thought to himself that this would make a perfect opertunity for the 2 men to get to arina with an exuse. Corzip stood up and walked over to where the earing had fallen and picked it up. He turned up and looked right in the eues of the wookie... who growled at him. the bothan said:*

Bothan: he doesnt like you.
