Joe U II (6:11:30 PM):
Isn't the B or the J silent?

SAGA Cobb (6:11:38 PM):
the "L" definitely is...

DoD Rengar (6:11:52 PM):

And because I haven't sent y'all one in a while... http://s225.photobucket.com/albums/dd132/erwincr/?action=view&current=IMG_0379.jpg

SAGA Cobb (6:13:23 PM):
she looks like such an unhappy child... *grin*

Darth Diem (6:13:24 PM):
Not a
lamprey anymore, thank
goodness!  The kid's got teeth!

DoD Arani Ris (6:13:34 PM):
Very cute!  And, I note
all the sci-fi DVD boxed sets behind her.

Darth Diem (6:14:02 PM):
Only when Mommy is trying to
make her put her toys down and go to sleep.  Oh, yes.  We're
geekifying her as fast as we can.  She already has her first d20.

SAGA Cobb (6:14:30 PM):
*sighs*  Not too
late get her football....

Darth Diem (6:14:53 PM):
Well, she punts the thing
like a soccer ball, if that makes you feel any better.

DoD Rengar (6:14:59 PM):
a d20 rattle or
ball?

Darth Diem (6:15:06 PM):
One of the plushie balls.

SAGA Cobb (6:15:08 PM):
that's okay.

Darth Diem (6:15:56 PM):
Anyhoo... are we all set?

SW Baniss Nim (6:16:10 PM):

DoD Arani Ris (6:16:18 PM):

BrandiBjarlen (6:16:24 PM):
not equipped, but not
worried about it, either, for now.

AussieScum (6:16:27 PM):
As usual I'm up to my ears in it.  3 weeks or so to go live.  Then I'll be better I hope

((Steve, to save on confusion.. can I please get you to switch off the red font?
Only Sith Lords get red font!!!))

DoD Arani Ris (6:17:14 PM):
((and a repeating blaster
rifle))

BrandiBjarlen (6:17:17 PM):
((exactly - it's figuring
out the pistol cost I haven't done ))

DoD Rengar (6:17:31 PM):
(( 550 for a BP ))

DoD Rengar (6:17:38 PM):
(( standard model ))

SAGA Cobb (6:17:49 PM):
shhh...I wanna see the Bimm try to aim the Heavy
BP!

Darth Diem (6:18:02 PM):

AussieScum (6:18:05 PM):
OMG, epic failure on the DM's part

BrandiBjarlen (6:18:06 PM):
((I think she actually had
one, back in LF days ...))

DoD Arani Ris (6:18:14 PM):
((Joe may be having issues))

Darth Diem (6:18:18 PM):
Hm?

SW Baniss Nim (6:18:21 PM):
i chose green

AussieScum (6:18:29 PM):
How's that ?

AussieScum (6:18:33 PM):
A bold, italic green ?

Darth Diem (6:18:37 PM):
Mucho mejor, gracias.

Joe U II (6:18:44 PM) has left the room.

SW Baniss Nim (6:18:49 PM):
now i have to change colors

Darth Diem (6:19:01 PM):
Y'all are different greens, I
can tell you apart.

DoD Arani Ris (6:19:24 PM):
((Matching Duros, both
greenish, perfect. ))

Darth Diem (6:19:28 PM):
And Joe flees in terror
already, hm?

DoD Arani Ris (6:19:35 PM):
(I think he got hung up)

SW Baniss Nim (6:19:39 PM):
Baniss Nim

SAGA Cobb (6:19:45 PM):
hrmm...he was having problems the other night as
well.

BrandiBjarlen (6:19:47 PM):
((wow!))

DoD Arani Ris (6:19:54 PM):
((Same as it ever was...))

DoD Rengar (6:19:56 PM):
Now you have
solen my color.  pbbbt

Darth Diem (6:19:59 PM):
Ruh roh...

SW Baniss Nim (6:20:09 PM):
there is my new color

SAGA Cobb (6:20:14 PM):
Soylent Green!

SW Baniss Nim (6:20:17 PM):
will keep looking

Joe U II (6:20:23 PM) has entered the room.

Darth Diem (6:20:23 PM):
It's people!!!  It's
PEOPLE!!!

DoD Arani Ris (6:20:26 PM):
Soylens viridens hominem est!

DoD Rengar (6:20:28 PM):
try black

Darth Diem (6:20:31 PM):
There he is.

BrandiBjarlen (6:20:32 PM):
(how about purple?)

Joe U II (6:20:34 PM):
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!

Darth Diem (6:20:59 PM):
Well, now that we're all here
and on the same macabre page...

SAGA Cobb (6:21:00 PM):
I actually finally watched it the other day. It
was on TCM.

Joe U II (6:21:11 PM):
My bad - I pulled the Enet cable out

DoD Rengar (6:21:25 PM):
heh.  uh, oops.

Darth Diem (6:21:26 PM):
... so there you all are,
minding your own business in Gundark's Cantina.

BrandiBjarlen (6:21:28 PM):
((snicker))

SW Baniss Nim (6:21:30 PM):
Ba
hows this

DoD Arani Ris (6:21:35 PM): :gives Joe boot to the head:

DoD Rengar (6:21:36 PM):
kewl

BrandiBjarlen (6:21:37 PM):
that works

SAGA Cobb (6:21:54 PM):
I'm keeping an eye on the Riff

DoD Arani Ris (6:22:05 PM):
I'm apparently serving the
Riff.

SAGA Cobb (6:22:09 PM):
and mildly musing about what Bappis might be
compensating for....

DoD Rengar (6:22:12 PM):
I'm hitting on
the Raff.

Joe U II (6:22:37 PM):
What, what?

BrandiBjarlen (6:22:42 PM):
Us Riff are moving to a
less-noisy part of the cantina

Darth Diem (6:22:48 PM):
Brandi and the two Duros were
trying to find a booth a little ways away from the band.  (Think a
college, pitchy version of The Killers.)

BrandiBjarlen (6:22:48 PM):
If there is such a thing

DoD Arani Ris (6:22:50 PM):
((Joe apparently didn't read
Cantina Mail today. ))

SW Baniss Nim (6:22:56 PM):
i am your normal
computer geek, and can pilot

Joe U II (6:23:07 PM):
Haven't read email at all today

Joe U II (6:23:09 PM):
yet

Darth Diem (6:23:23 PM):
Iri is sitting quietly at a
table by himself, but the cantina is rapidly getting more crowded as the day
shift workers go off duty.

BrandiBjarlen (6:23:26 PM): ::grins:: "Nothing "normal" about
computer geeks, Mr. Green."

Joe U II (6:23:37 PM): :Follows along...:

BrandiBjarlen (6:23:53 PM):
"Though some of my best
friends fit that bill. And pilot, too."

SAGA Cobb (6:23:56 PM):
Iri got a free beer from a Zabrak chick

DoD Arani Ris (6:23:58 PM): ::pouring drinks, smiling hard, stang my feet hurt::

DoD Arani Ris (6:24:20 PM):
((wrong day to wear CFMBs. ))

SAGA Cobb (6:24:29 PM): ?

DoD Arani Ris (6:24:35 PM):
((Come F*** Me Boots.))

SAGA Cobb (6:24:39 PM):
ah...

Darth Diem (6:24:42 PM):
Even as the band starts of
another painfully enthusiastic number, a group of young nobles stumbles through
the door, laughing and complaining loudly.

DoD Rengar (6:24:50 PM):
(( somehow, I doubt you would, arani ))

SAGA Cobb (6:25:00 PM):
Looks like I'm on the clock...

Darth Diem (6:25:28 PM):
"... well, since YOU'RE
the only one who didn't get cleaned out at the tables, I guess you're buying,
Movren!"

SAGA Cobb (6:25:31 PM):
sort've ease into their path, saying,
"Hey, fellas, here for the show?  Cover is 10 creds."

DoD Arani Ris (6:25:50 PM):
((Yah, prolly not so much,
Ren))

Darth Diem (6:26:06 PM):
"Wh-
oh.  Here you are, my good man."  :negligently
tosses a hundred credits in Cobb's general direction:

Joe U II (6:26:17 PM):
"I've got the drinks covered..."

DoD Arani Ris (6:26:23 PM):
((All humans, Leslie?))

SAGA Cobb (6:26:23 PM):
"Have a good time.  Don't forget to
tip your waitress."

SAGA Cobb (6:26:42 PM):
and slide to the side and deposit the money to
whereever is appropriate.

Darth Diem (6:26:45 PM):
The one young Human who
appears to have chips remaining from their foray into the casino leads the way
inside and begins looking around for a table...

SW Baniss Nim (6:27:03 PM):
((your pocket??))

Darth Diem (6:27:24 PM):
... and stops beside the
booth occupied by Brandi, Nim, Iri, and that other green guy without a screen
name.

SAGA Cobb (6:27:27 PM):
(um, well, only if there actually wasn't a
cover fee...but I'd split that three ways with Bappis
and the bar)

AussieScum (6:27:50 PM):
(( Poor Kez - no
name ))

BrandiBjarlen (6:27:56 PM): ::Brandi grins up at them, her best cheerful smile::

Darth Diem (6:27:58 PM):
"Hey, you're sitting at
our table!" the young man protests loudly.

DoD Arani Ris (6:28:11 PM):
"Uh-oh...."

SW Baniss Nim (6:28:16 PM):
oh did not see you
sitting here

SAGA Cobb (6:28:19 PM):
murmur to Bappis "Riffin'...."

SW Baniss Nim (6:28:23 PM):
when we sat down

DoD Arani Ris (6:28:33 PM): ::tries to catch Cobb's eye::

BrandiBjarlen (6:28:36 PM): ::mildly:: "Really? I thought you might want to
listen to the music. Can't hear it very well here."

SAGA Cobb (6:28:41 PM):
and start slowly meandering
that direction, not looking purposeful

Darth Diem (6:28:42 PM):
Bappis nods.  "You
gonna get it, or want me to?"

SAGA Cobb (6:28:49 PM):
"On it."

DoD Rengar (6:28:54 PM):
(( and here I was just reading the log from Who Goes Thaere
and the bar fight on TB the other day, looking for something. ))

DoD Arani Ris (6:29:00 PM):
((LOL!))

BrandiBjarlen (6:29:03 PM):
((LOL!))

SAGA Cobb (6:29:15 PM):
hey, that's when I met whats-her-name

SAGA Cobb (6:29:19 PM):
Aldo

DoD Arani Ris (6:29:21 PM):
((First GOOMB of the
campaign!))

BrandiBjarlen (6:29:21 PM):
"You sure you don't
want a better table?"

Darth Diem (6:29:25 PM):
"What I WANT is to sit
down.  And you are in my way."

DoD Arani Ris (6:29:31 PM):
((Alto Janns?))

SAGA Cobb (6:29:38 PM):
yup.

DoD Rengar (6:29:39 PM):
(( Alto Janss, yeah ))

BrandiBjarlen (6:29:46 PM):
"Oh, by all means! Plenty of chairs. Have a seat."

SW Baniss Nim (6:29:53 PM):
so it seems, but we are
here now

BrandiBjarlen (6:29:57 PM):
"I'm Brandi - what's
your name?" ::chirps::

BrandiBjarlen (6:30:13 PM): ::kicks Nim under the table::

SW Baniss Nim (6:30:19 PM):
and i am baniss Nim

SAGA Cobb (6:30:19 PM):
"Gentlemen, you're cover fee got you a
table right by the stage.  Liila will be here for your drinks.
Follow me please?"

Joe U II (6:30:21 PM): :smiles up at them:

Darth Diem (6:30:26 PM): ::eyes the small booth distastefully, and makes a show of counting his
five companions::  "I don't believe there will be room for all of
us..."

BrandiBjarlen (6:30:56 PM): ::stifles an impulse to congratulate him on his mastery of
counting ...::

Darth Diem (6:31:18 PM): ::smiles as the bouncer comes to help him::  "Ah, see?  A table by the stage.  Run along, then, you lot. This
one is ours."

BrandiBjarlen (6:31:20 PM):
"Then you really should
take that great table the bouncer is offering!"

Joe U II (6:31:32 PM): :does it look like they won't fit?:

DoD Arani Ris (6:31:44 PM):
((Not with 5 of them and 4
of you, dood. ))

Darth Diem (6:31:46 PM):
((They'll fit, but the 10 of
you won't.))

BrandiBjarlen (6:31:50 PM): ::catches Cobb's eye and raises an inquiring eyebrow::

Joe U II (6:32:00 PM):
((In the other table!))

SAGA Cobb (6:32:02 PM):
*shrugging in response*

SAGA Cobb (6:32:19 PM):
to the seated peopel

SAGA Cobb (6:32:27 PM):
"A request has been made.  Are you
willing to relocate?"

BrandiBjarlen (6:32:28 PM): ::stands up on her chair::

SW Baniss Nim (6:32:39 PM):
raise my glass to them
in a toast

DoD Rengar (6:32:49 PM): :: watch the impending ruckus with amusement, easing into
the third glass of whiskey, chatting away ::

BrandiBjarlen (6:32:59 PM):
"I don't particularly
want trouble - sure, I'll move."

BrandiBjarlen (6:33:23 PM):
"Except that, see, they
haven't left me any room to do that!"

SW Baniss Nim (6:33:25 PM):
but we were here first

Darth Diem (6:33:26 PM): ::smiles::  "Smart of you."

Joe U II (6:33:34 PM): :looks questioningly at his new companion:

Joe U II (6:33:46 PM): :and then smiles:

SAGA Cobb (6:33:57 PM):
"-I- didn't ask you to move. I'm simply
seeing if you're willing to accede to these young men's request..."
(non-threatening)

Darth Diem (6:34:06 PM): ::moves out of Brandi's way with exaggerated politeness::

SW Baniss Nim (6:34:12 PM):
how much is it worth to
you for me to move??

DoD Rengar (6:34:26 PM):
(( the nerd has a lip!!! ))

SAGA Cobb (6:34:36 PM):
(soon to be fat, I think )

Darth Diem (6:34:46 PM):
"... are you SERIOUSLY
trying to bargain with me over MY table?! How dare you?  Do you have any
idea who I am?!?"

DoD Rengar (6:34:47 PM):
(( good pickup ))

BrandiBjarlen (6:34:49 PM): ::smiles with equally exaggerated politeness, and hops
down.:: "Come on, guys! "

SW Baniss Nim (6:35:08 PM):
no i don't but we were
here first

Darth Diem (6:35:13 PM):
"Listen to your little
friend here, and run along."

SAGA Cobb (6:35:28 PM):
pat the obnoxious dude on the shoulder,
"Settle down, champ...looks like things are settling down."

SAGA Cobb (6:35:34 PM):
disarming smile

OnlineHost (6:35:45 PM):
SAGA Cobb rolled 1 20-sided die:  15

BrandiBjarlen (6:36:04 PM):
"C'mon, Nim ... it
doesn't matter to *us* what table we get."

SAGA Cobb (6:36:09 PM):
(as opposed to a disarming elbow lock...)

SW Baniss Nim (6:36:19 PM):
i just don't like snots

Darth Diem (6:36:25 PM): ::sniffs at Cobb::  "Yes, yes... it's a good thing for THEM that
I'm a patient sort of fellow..."

BrandiBjarlen (6:36:45 PM):
"yeah, well - it takes
all kinds in a cantina."

SW Baniss Nim (6:36:48 PM):
stand up and start
moving to another table

Darth Diem (6:36:59 PM): ::one of the other young nobles steps forward, scowling::
"Hey, who're you callin' a snot, you green-faced little puke!?"

SAGA Cobb (6:36:59 PM):
"Thanks, folks..."

BrandiBjarlen (6:37:01 PM):
"Comin', Kez?"

SAGA Cobb (6:37:12 PM):
step in between, like I'm helping them out of
the booth

SW Baniss Nim (6:37:16 PM):
oh
i am sorry as i knock over my 3/4 full ale on the table

BrandiBjarlen (6:38:04 PM):
"He called me that - a
nickname, ya know?"

Darth Diem (6:38:08 PM):
"Clumsy oaf!"

Darth Diem (6:38:29 PM):
"I think you should
clean that up," another young man says.

DoD Arani Ris (6:38:40 PM): ::sighs, as she watches out of the corner of her eye, pouring
another drink::

Darth Diem (6:38:41 PM):
"Yeah... why don't you
lick that up, greenie?"

SAGA Cobb (6:39:08 PM):
"C'mon, champ...snot = green...he's a
Duros.  Green is a holy color.  Now sit down and how about that
drink?  Liila!  need a clean-up
here!"  (and give Baniss a 'look')

Joe U II (6:39:10 PM):
"Excuse us, please. Let me buy you a
round..."

BrandiBjarlen (6:39:14 PM):
"How about I buy you a
round instead?"

BrandiBjarlen (6:39:23 PM):
((goomb!))

Joe U II (6:39:33 PM):
((2nd))

BrandiBjarlen (6:39:36 PM):
"See, that's TWO!" ::brightly::

Darth Diem (6:39:53 PM):
The first young man puts a
hand on his more zealous friend's shoulder.  "A round would be
acceptable.  Zorin, let them go."

BrandiBjarlen (6:40:13 PM): ::smiles at the first young man encouragingly::

Darth Diem (6:40:34 PM): ::smiles back::  "See how well everyone gets along when everyone
knows their place?"

SAGA Cobb (6:40:48 PM):
ushering people out, helping others sit down

BrandiBjarlen (6:41:03 PM): ::will be the last one to move away::

Darth Diem (6:41:06 PM):
The nobles pile into your
recently vacated booth as soon as the seats are empty.

SW Baniss Nim (6:41:09 PM):
walk out of the bar

Darth Diem (6:41:21 PM):
Several of them are hooting
loudly, clearly amused by the incident.

Joe U II (6:41:31 PM):
"Doesn't it though..."

SAGA Cobb (6:42:14 PM):
"Thanks..." to the first table.
then wander over to Arani and murmur.  "Got
any eye drops here?"

Darth Diem (6:42:21 PM):
The new table is close to the
stage. VERY close.  One might even say... PAINFULLY close.

BrandiBjarlen (6:42:37 PM): ::sticking earplugs in her ears::

DoD Arani Ris (6:42:51 PM): ::shakes her head a bit::

DoD Rengar (6:42:53 PM):
(( ah, eye drops.  nice choice
))

Darth Diem (6:42:55 PM):
((Got those on your character
sheet, do you? &nbsp)

SAGA Cobb (6:43:07 PM):
(oh, c'mon...what bar doesn't have those???)

Joe U II (6:43:08 PM):
"Perhaps now would be a good time to
leave?"

BrandiBjarlen (6:43:19 PM): ::nods:: "A good idea ..."

BrandiBjarlen (6:43:42 PM): ::pays, including the round for the sno...er, nobles,
and works her way to the exit::

DoD Arani Ris (6:43:59 PM): ::Nobles are getting drinks a bit on the watery side. ::

SAGA Cobb (6:44:10 PM):
murmur again. "Charge 'em double"

BrandiBjarlen (6:44:16 PM): ::waves at Arani before she exits::

Joe U II (6:44:22 PM): :Spit in one as it goes by :
NOT!

DoD Arani Ris (6:44:23 PM): ::nods to Cobb::

DoD Rengar (6:44:55 PM):
:: Brandi
notices a Corellian making his way towards her, trying to intercept her before
she gets to the door.  He looks... vaguely familiar. ::

Darth Diem (6:45:30 PM):
The young noblemen cheerfully
accept their free drinks and begin pounding them.

BrandiBjarlen (6:45:33 PM): ::stops::

DoD Rengar (6:45:42 PM): :: leaving the girls for a moment ("Enjoy a dance,
I'll be right back - gotta business contact over there."), Ren heads
across the bar ::

BrandiBjarlen (6:46:00 PM): ::and finds a semi-quiet place to wait::

Joe U II (6:46:25 PM):
"What are we waiting for?"

DoD Rengar (6:46:33 PM): :: just to her :: "Brandi, right?  From Cularin?  Friends with " ::

Darth Diem (6:48:56 PM):
When Cobb arrives back at the

has taken up his post.  Yrlia, his relief, has arrived.

DoD Rengar (6:49:00 PM):
"I met her

"Keep an eye on Table 8."  grabs pack
from behind the counter, then grabs a seat (far from the band) and order a real
drink

DoD Rengar (6:50:17 PM): :: checks on the girls, sees they're still occupied on the

"Guess I'll sit."

DoD Arani Ris (6:52:10 PM): ::sits down next to Cobb::

DoD Arani Ris (6:52:34 PM):
"About as good as

already three sheets to the wind, as is his date.)

"Sure, lots
of 'em.  Not on this station, though.  Plus Arani lets me dip into
the XO's stock of good stuff, so it's worth it." ::

your teeth to drink, 'friend'.  Don't forget to tip well."

As if summoned by sorcery,

slightly as Ren addresses him, then scowls.
"You must be confusing me with someone else.  Friend."

alcohol.  When she sees the men in the jackets, her eyes widen and she

(( or is it obvious the troopers are 'coming in'? ))

again.  Just not worth it.

Unfortunately, while you are
occupied with the Jacket Boys, the pair of patrolling stormtroopers bursts
through the door behind you.  They level their blaster rifles in the
injured woman's direction.

his head.

17

SW Baniss Nim (9:07:44 PM):
9

AussieScum (9:08:03 PM):
Perception 145

AussieScum (9:08:05 PM):
er, 14

Darth Diem (9:08:16 PM):
(For those who topped a
15...)  You hear a deep, grunting laugh, and then an exchange of similar
grunts and squeals.  It sounds like a conversation... sort of.

SW Baniss Nim (9:08:23 PM):
((i
like 145 better))

Darth Diem (9:08:28 PM):
(lol)

Joe U II (9:08:35 PM):
((Language??))

BrandiBjarlen (9:08:44 PM):
((sound like any language? I
can list what I know ))

SAGA Cobb (9:08:48 PM):
same...

Darth Diem (9:08:50 PM):
((Anybody speak Gamorrean?))

SAGA Cobb (9:08:52 PM):
no

DoD Rengar (9:08:54 PM):
(( Huttese? ))

Joe U II (9:08:55 PM):
I  do

SAGA Cobb (9:08:55 PM):
yes

SW Baniss Nim (9:08:59 PM):
not
yet

BrandiBjarlen (9:09:07 PM):
(neither)

AussieScum (9:09:15 PM):
no

Joe U II (9:10:15 PM): :motions for quiet:

Joe U II (9:10:37 PM): :whispers:"Sounds like two bored guards to
me"

SW Baniss Nim (9:11:04 PM):
whispers
back.  should we take them out??

DoD Rengar (9:11:34 PM):
"Maybe we
should play nice, they might work for Switch."

BrandiBjarlen (9:11:35 PM): ::whispers:: "How far away, and do we need to get by
them?"

Joe U II (9:12:21 PM):
((measuring distance in my head...))

Joe U II (9:12:46 PM):
20 or 30 meters

SAGA Cobb (9:12:54 PM):
in your head? geez,
likelyno more than 20 cms...

Joe U II (9:13:12 PM):
Ar, ar, ar

SAGA Cobb (9:14:03 PM):
"We don't know what they're guarding...no
reason to get frisky..."

Joe U II (9:14:06 PM):
"well, we know its
not the Empire"

SAGA Cobb (9:14:09 PM):
"Unless, of coruse, there is...like we
shouldn't be here."

Darth Diem (9:14:11 PM):
((and yes, they're in your
path, as near as you can make out with all the twists and turns... you can all
tell that, even if you can't understand them))

Darth Diem (9:15:04 PM):
((tick tock, whatchya
doin'?))

BrandiBjarlen (9:15:12 PM):
"We know what's not the Empire?"

SW Baniss Nim (9:15:14 PM):
lets
move on up

Joe U II (9:15:26 PM):
"They don't use Gamorreans"

BrandiBjarlen (9:15:30 PM):
"Let's keep moving.
Maybe I can talk to them." ::grins::

Joe U II (9:15:39 PM):
"Or any other aliens..."

DoD Arani Ris (9:15:41 PM):
"I might be able to
help, too.."

Joe U II (9:15:52 PM):
"Happy to translate..."

DoD Rengar (9:15:58 PM):
"I could
slip ahead and then report back, if we're feeling paranoid."

SW Baniss Nim (9:16:00 PM):
then
lets move

Darth Diem (9:16:11 PM):
((... moving on up, or
sending a scout?))

SW Baniss Nim (9:16:30 PM):
moving
on up is my suggestion

DoD Rengar (9:16:38 PM):
"But I
don't imagine they're smart enough to Not buy a decent
bluff."

Joe U II (9:16:51 PM):
"Let's find out"
:smiles:

BrandiBjarlen (9:16:56 PM):
"Let's move up and keep
our eyes open."

DoD Arani Ris (9:16:59 PM):
"I'd rather not send
one in against Gammos."

Darth Diem (9:17:07 PM):
The two guards look up...
eventually... as you approach.

BrandiBjarlen (9:17:19 PM): ::brightly, in basic:: "Hi there!"

SW Baniss Nim (9:17:20 PM):
wave

DoD Arani Ris (9:17:42 PM): ::the sweet smile is back::

BrandiBjarlen (9:17:44 PM):
"Whatcha up to?"

Darth Diem (9:17:45 PM):
They have their blasters and
axes handy, but do not immediately reach for them.  One of them grunts at
you.

Darth Diem (9:17:58 PM):
[Whaddya want?]

BrandiBjarlen (9:18:10 PM):
"Just passing
through."

Darth Diem (9:18:37 PM):
[To where, the exhaust
shaft?  Last step's a doozy...]

Darth Diem (9:18:51 PM):
[hyuk hyuk hyuk]

SAGA Cobb (9:18:52 PM):
"Tell them.  Maybe offer a
gift."

BrandiBjarlen (9:18:56 PM): ::grins:: "We'll watch out."

DoD Rengar (9:19:10 PM):
(( are they guarding a door? ))

Joe U II (9:19:11 PM): :grins at the change in expression of the two ladies:

BrandiBjarlen (9:19:14 PM):
"Why you guarding an
exhaust shaft?"

Darth Diem (9:19:19 PM):
((Yes, they are))

SW Baniss Nim (9:19:20 PM):
so
u are guarding the exhaust shaft

BrandiBjarlen (9:19:33 PM):
"You'd think someone
would Switch jobs with you, if it's that easy."

Darth Diem (9:19:45 PM):
[Uh... yeah.  For own safety.  You better turn round.]

DoD Rengar (9:20:17 PM):
(( does the door say V14? ))

Darth Diem (9:20:19 PM): ::cocks head at the translator and frowns in confusion::  [Uhhh... we
like jobs.]

Darth Diem (9:20:25 PM):
((It does indeed.))

SW Baniss Nim (9:20:26 PM):
anything
like SM in this game

Darth Diem (9:20:34 PM):
((It's all Perception now.))

BrandiBjarlen (9:21:03 PM):
"Hey, we're here to
meet someone back there. How about we give you a gift, you let us
through?"

Joe U II (9:21:09 PM):
((too subtle, Brandi ))

SAGA Cobb (9:21:30 PM):
"There ya go..."

Joe U II (9:21:32 PM):
((There you go )

Darth Diem (9:21:33 PM): ::toothy grin::  [Now you talking!  Whatcha got?]

SAGA Cobb (9:21:37 PM):
3!

Darth Diem (9:21:42 PM):
(lol)

Joe U II (9:21:51 PM): <grins>

DoD Arani Ris (9:22:18 PM):
((We've got two Duros, we
could spare one. ))

BrandiBjarlen (9:22:25 PM):
"How 'bout ... oh, 50
creds each?"

SAGA Cobb (9:22:35 PM):
*stoppppp!  I was figuring out how to try
to word the same thing!*

SW Baniss Nim (9:22:38 PM):
glare
at ris

Darth Diem (9:22:38 PM): ::holds out pudgy green hand::

DoD Arani Ris (9:22:47 PM):
((ROFL))

DoD Arani Ris (9:22:55 PM):
((OOC comment, Curtis. ))

BrandiBjarlen (9:23:01 PM): ::puts a cred chip in each hand::

SAGA Cobb (9:23:08 PM):
of course, we also have two humans...so I'll
hush.

Darth Diem (9:23:15 PM):
The guards step aside and
wave you through...

SAGA Cobb (9:23:49 PM):
nod and step through

SW Baniss Nim (9:23:59 PM):
step
thru

Darth Diem (9:24:00 PM):
The deep storage bay is as
run-down as the hallways leading up to it, with entire metal plates missing
from the floor and a huge, open exhaust shaft near the back of the room.

BrandiBjarlen (9:24:03 PM): ::move through::

Darth Diem (9:24:39 PM):
Large crates litter the area,
creating the appearance of a haphazard mess, and the air has a distinct smell
of sweat and fumes that makes the entire area unpleasant.

Darth Diem (9:25:02 PM):
Flickering lights provide
modest illumination, and a burst pipe along the ceiling leaks blue fluid down
one wall.

DoD Rengar (9:25:19 PM): :: go in last, covering everyone ::

SAGA Cobb (9:25:35 PM):
um, what kind of fluid...

Darth Diem (9:25:38 PM):
Near the center of the room
is an item that seems very out of place... a large, finely crafted desk of
Japor ivory wood, which means that the desk is both rare and priceless.

Darth Diem (9:25:45 PM):
((coolant))

DoD Arani Ris (9:25:46 PM): ::blaster pistol in hand::

DoD Arani Ris (9:25:53 PM):
"Well, that's
interesting."

SW Baniss Nim (9:26:03 PM):
anyone
sitting behind it

Darth Diem (9:26:22 PM):
Sitting peacefully behind the
desk is a protocol droid with shiny ebony coverings that seem to soak up the
light and offer only the slightest reflection.

DoD Rengar (9:26:31 PM):
(( "Now there's something you don't see every day,
Chauncey" ))

Darth Diem (9:26:39 PM):
The droid's eyes flicker
rapidly, as though imitating a person blinking.

DoD Arani Ris (9:26:43 PM):
((What's that, Edgar? ))

Joe U II (9:26:57 PM):
((Contact! ))

BrandiBjarlen (9:26:58 PM):
"Switch?"

Darth Diem (9:27:21 PM):
In a clear, crisp Coruscanti
access in a cultured male tenor, the droid greets you.  "Welcome to
my domain.  Please, come in."

Joe U II (9:27:23 PM):
((that's Mr. Switch to us
))

DoD Rengar (9:27:37 PM):
(( "a priceless item in the low-price district" ))

Darth Diem (9:27:40 PM):
"May I offer you
refreshment?"

SW Baniss Nim (9:27:41 PM):
thank
you

DoD Arani Ris (9:28:00 PM):
"As long as it's not
toxic to Twi'leks...sure."

BrandiBjarlen (9:28:00 PM):
"Thanks."

Darth Diem (9:28:16 PM):
((gah, I meant accENT,
obviously... getting late, what?   ))

SW Baniss Nim (9:28:16 PM):
i'll
pass sir

Darth Diem (9:28:42 PM):
"Oh, I assure you, Miss,
I have quite a selection of Ryl wines.  Please, select your
favorite."

DoD Arani Ris (9:28:51 PM):
"Ooooh, really?"

Darth Diem (9:28:59 PM):
He waves his hand at a fully  - VERY fully - stocked liquor cabinet.

SAGA Cobb (9:29:06 PM):
"You're the expert, Silky...pick one
out." to Switch. "Thank you."

BrandiBjarlen (9:29:13 PM): ::Amused:: "Don't get too excited, there,
Arani."

Darth Diem (9:29:16 PM):
"R5, please prepare our
guests whatever they would like..."

DoD Rengar (9:29:21 PM):
"Gladly,
thanks."

AussieScum (9:29:22 PM):
"You got Crellian Whiskey?"
::peers at our Bartender:: "The good stuff?"

Darth Diem (9:29:30 PM):
A small red and blue
astromech rolls over to the liquor cabinet.

DoD Arani Ris (9:29:31 PM): ::Steps over to the cabinet, and picks out a vintage or two::

Darth Diem (9:29:40 PM):
"Of course, sir.  Neat or on the rocks?"

AussieScum (9:30:13 PM):
"neat"

DoD Rengar (9:30:17 PM):
"Neat."

BrandiBjarlen (9:30:21 PM): ::grins at the protocol droid:: "I don't imagine
you'd be willing to sell two or three bottles of that Corellian whiskey? I've
got friends ..."

Darth Diem (9:30:23 PM):
"You are most welcome,
all of you."

Joe U II (9:30:25 PM):
((how ever I got it earlier today))

Joe U II (9:30:41 PM):
"You were expecting us?"

BrandiBjarlen (9:30:43 PM): ::doesn't take a drink::

DoD Arani Ris (9:30:55 PM): ::has a small drink::

Darth Diem (9:30:58 PM):
The protocol droid cocks his
head at the Bimm.  "If that is the purpose of your visit, I am aware
of the location of such a shipment... for the appropriate price, of
course."

BrandiBjarlen (9:31:22 PM): ::grins:: "It's definately a side issue ... but I'm
willing to talk."

Darth Diem (9:31:35 PM):
"Little happens on this
station of which I am not aware."  ::to
Iri::

DoD Rengar (9:31:36 PM): :: takes a belt :: (( is there an Able Drinker
talent?  Or does Improved Damage Threshold count? ))

Darth Diem (9:32:07 PM):
((hee hee... I'd say the
Condition tracks are appropriate, yeah.  I'll have to work up some
modifiers for various strengths of liquor.))

DoD Rengar (9:32:29 PM):
(( with me in the group... yeah, you'd better ))

Darth Diem (9:32:37 PM):
"If the whiskey is not
your primary concern, may I ask what has brought you to visit me this
evening?"

BrandiBjarlen (9:33:09 PM):
"A lady named
Maya."

BrandiBjarlen (9:33:33 PM):
"She became
incapacitated - through no fault of ours - and we're here on her behalf."

Darth Diem (9:33:59 PM):
"Ah.  And presuming
that I had a contract with said person, you would be here to complete it,
yes?"

BrandiBjarlen (9:34:06 PM):
"Yes."

Darth Diem (9:34:10 PM):
(Let's see that Persuasion
roll, Short Stuff...))

BrandiBjarlen (9:34:22 PM):
//rolls-dice1-sides20

OnlineHost (9:34:23 PM):
BrandiBjarlen rolled 1 20-sided die:  16

BrandiBjarlen (9:34:26 PM):
30

Joe U II (9:34:29 PM):
((Need help?))

OnlineHost (9:34:33 PM):
SW Baniss Nim rolled 1 20-sided die:  17

SW Baniss Nim (9:34:46 PM):
18

Darth Diem (9:34:47 PM):
(Excellent)

Joe U II (9:34:56 PM):
((apparently not ))

Darth Diem (9:35:15 PM):
"For the eminently
reasonable sum of 1,000 credits, I would be happy to release Ms. Maya's cargo
into your custody."

SW Baniss Nim (9:35:37 PM):
that
is a lot of money

Darth Diem (9:36:05 PM):
"It is a valuable
cargo.  To the correct person.  Or
personS."

Joe U II (9:36:06 PM):
((we can pay you 100 now, plus ...))

SW Baniss Nim (9:36:10 PM):
((can
u charge it to the dust and let the rain settle it??))

SAGA Cobb (9:36:19 PM):
"I would think with the additional heat,
as well as the ever-shortening time window...that the price should be a bit
lower.  500 might be more reasonable."

SAGA Cobb (9:36:43 PM):
"The other 'buyers' have only blaster fire
to offer."

SAGA Cobb (9:37:01 PM):
(yes, haggling )

BrandiBjarlen (9:37:25 PM):
((you beat me to it - works
for me!))

DoD Rengar (9:37:30 PM): :: am just at the back, keeping an eye on things ::

DoD Rengar (9:37:42 PM):
(( the non-bleary one ))

BrandiBjarlen (9:37:58 PM):
"500 does seem far more
reasonable, sir, under the circumstances."

Darth Diem (9:38:06 PM):
((Did that message of mine
get through?)

BrandiBjarlen (9:38:22 PM):
((the OOC one did - nothing
before that))

SAGA Cobb (9:38:30 PM):
"or persons" is the last I saw

Darth Diem (9:38:38 PM):
"I would be willing to
consider an alternative offer.  As you know, I deal in information.
If you would agree to provide me with information in the future, I might be
willing to provide a discount."

SW Baniss Nim (9:38:56 PM):
i
can do that

SAGA Cobb (9:39:01 PM):
*smiles*  "I'll
take that bet."

BrandiBjarlen (9:39:12 PM): ::cocks her head and regards him for a long moment::
"How much information?"

SAGA Cobb (9:39:13 PM):
"I'm very interested in working out mutual
information deals..."

DoD Arani Ris (9:39:15 PM):
"Interesting
counter-offer, Switch."

Joe U II (9:39:25 PM):
((Cool, we get to owe a debt to a shady
character in the 1st module ))

BrandiBjarlen (9:39:30 PM):
"I dont wish to have an
open obligation forever."

SAGA Cobb (9:39:42 PM):
((this doesn't perturb some of us...))

DoD Rengar (9:40:05 PM): :: frowning :: "I'm not sure I could handle the long-distance
or long-term relationship, bud."

Darth Diem (9:40:24 PM):
The droid spreads his folded
hands in a polite shrug.  "Assuming the information is of value...
and not a rehashing of the local shockball scores after the fact... my standard
rate is 200 credits per tip."

SAGA Cobb (9:40:26 PM):
"Mind you, we're talking scale here for
the price in question..."

SW Baniss Nim (9:40:53 PM):
so
we would ow u 5 tips

SAGA Cobb (9:41:02 PM):
pulls a few cred chip out..."300
here."

SW Baniss Nim (9:41:24 PM):
i
am poor. and have no funds

Darth Diem (9:41:39 PM):
"In total, yes.
How your party decides to divide the responsibility does not concern me, so
long as I receive what is agreed upon."

BrandiBjarlen (9:41:40 PM):
"And so, after we pay
off the discount, we still have a cash deal?"

Darth Diem (9:42:01 PM):
"If the relationship
proves profitable to us both, most certainly."

DoD Arani Ris (9:42:13 PM):
((I've got some cash to
contribute, too...))

BrandiBjarlen (9:42:16 PM): ::nods:: "Here's 200, then. That makes 500."

DoD Arani Ris (9:42:27 PM): ::adds in 200:: "That's 7."

SW Baniss Nim (9:42:43 PM):
and
what happens if we don't comethru with our part,  not
that we would mind you

BrandiBjarlen (9:42:55 PM):
"I think we only need
5, Arani. Hang on to that."

BrandiBjarlen (9:42:58 PM): ::grins::

DoD Arani Ris (9:42:58 PM):
"Took me months to make
that.  Gundark doesn't pay worth a damn."

DoD Arani Ris (9:43:03 PM):
"Fair enough."

Darth Diem (9:43:03 PM):
"That would be... unpleasant.
I do hope you do not select that alternative."

SW Baniss Nim (9:43:22 PM):
just
asking sir

BrandiBjarlen (9:43:27 PM):
"No ... I will pay. My word on it."

SAGA Cobb (9:43:35 PM):
(I offered 500...it didn't respond)

Darth Diem (9:43:44 PM):
Even as you are counting out
the credits... there is a sudden flurry of blaster bolts from behind you!

SAGA Cobb (9:43:50 PM):
"We have 700...300 more, anyone? no obligation then..."

Darth Diem (9:43:50 PM):
Agonized squealing pigs!!

Darth Diem (9:43:56 PM):
AIEEEE!!!

DoD Arani Ris (9:44:00 PM):
"Ohhh, no."

Darth Diem (9:44:05 PM):
... and with that...

Darth Diem (9:44:12 PM):
... INTERMISSION...

SW Baniss Nim (9:44:13 PM):
pull
hbp and turn

DoD Arani Ris (9:44:19 PM):

BrandiBjarlen (9:44:19 PM):
"Let's finish this deal
before the cargo gets away ..."

AussieScum (9:44:42 PM):
(( I still have to
do equipment so I'm not sure what I have left to contribute ))

Darth Diem (9:44:59 PM):
dunh dunh dunh dunnnnnh
DUNNNH!!!

Joe U II (9:45:02 PM):
and now you have until Thursday...

Darth Diem (9:45:24 PM):
You do indeed.
Excellent start to the campaign, guys.
