First Reply Buyer on Bracca

[Arris Windrun]

Arris Windrun found herself on Bracca, in the market for her first starship.

A spacer had told her about the junk world--said it was the best place to look on a budget, and that she'd find all sorts of rare and wonderous hulls. He even gave her the name and address of the 'best starship dealer in the galaxy' who had a shop there. And so she arrived, and so she bought a ship.

Only...

It was junk.

What was once a beautiful Aggressor-class assault fighter had been stripped of practically any useful bits and remained an empty frame caked in rust and dust. There was no reactor, no hyperdrive, and very little left to work with. At least the weapons were left mostly intact.

She was one frustrated gal, understandably so, and wandered around the damn junker spaceport looking for anyone who could lend a hand.

"Hey, are you a mechanic?"

She went around asking everyone in sight.

Adonis had been sent to Bracca because it was a newer planet in Mandalorian territory. They wanted to make their presence known without looking like they sent death squads to patrol. So Aether sent some of his scariest dogs there to make sure it was understood that this was Mandalorian territory now. Even if they weren't crawling everywhere. Plus it gave him a chance to get away from combat for a bit.

The Knight stood almost seven feet tall in his armor, equipped with his lightsaber and a rather large blaster strapped to his back. He was there to send a message, so that's what he would do. He separated from the others in his group and wandered closer to a group who were bartering. Adonis wasn't here to buy anything personally, but he needed to know if there were any illicit markets they should be aware of. He was about to get a good read on their conversation when he was approached by a woman, taller than most Adonis encountered, but still much shorter than he.

"Yeah, and I charge double when people ask."

Arris had been busy chatting up a Duros who insisted time and time again that he only worked on droids.

"Well, fine then!" She threw a dismissive hand and turned away from him.

"Yeah, and I charge double when people ask."

She started to ask around again and turned to spy the source of who said that. She didn't expect to have to look up, and she definitely didn't expect to have to look up that far.

"Whoooa! You're big, aintcha?" She chuckled. "Double whatever offer I throw at you?" She asked, only half-joking.

It wasn't so much just his height that surprised her. The armor, too, added to the perception that she was speaking with a giant of some kind or another.

The cyborg placed a hand on each hip, her chin still tilted upward. "Y'know, you don't really seem the mechanic type. You some kind of merc?" She wondered.

Her next immediate thought was some kind of bounty hunter or lawman. "I do wanna add that I'm not wanted or anything!" Technically untrue, but she hoped warrants from Talus didn't travel this far. Or if they did, that no one would care.

The hulking Mandalorian let out a chuckle as the woman spoke. He realized that he likely was coming off a bit intimidating at first. While that was kind of his job here, he feared the woman actually needed help. So he went and took his helmet off, revealing his short black military haircut and his youthful smile. He was still only in his early twenties, even if the Mandalorian's wars had made him lose that childlike optimism.

"Yeah, I'm a mercenary like a thermal detonator is a candle." His dry humor was followed by a light chuckle. He had some experience now with the Mandalorians learning how to fix different equipment they had there. It seemed he was her best chance, seeing as the rest of the people were mostly ignoring her. Plus, it had been a while since he had followed someone to what could only be described as a very likely trap. Especially on Bracca.

"The name's Adonis." His smile tipped as he continued, "I'm here as a Mandalorian warrior on behalf of Mandalore the Iron to visit Bracca and check in on the locals." He looked her up and down, noticing she wasn't quite like the rest of the people here, she seemed more...dangerous. "You don't seem to be a local, but I can try to help nonetheless." Adonis's hulking frame then lowered itself a bit to get closer to her height, his dark brown eyes meeting hers.

"What can I do for you, Miss..." He trailed off waiting to see if she would introduce herself.
