Location: Quesh, Bit o Bubbly Cantina


The Bit o Bubbly cantina was filled with an unusual silence.

It was usually loud and rambunctious as it was for a typical cantina. Loud music that played in the background with men and women socializing, getting drunk, gambling, or making business deals. Yet inside the Bit o Bubbly was a whirlwind of destruction, the unconscious bodies of men and women decorated the floor. Humans, Geonosians, Rodians, Wookies, and many others lay motionless on the ground. The lights above continuously flickered with the walls peppered with blood and blaster bolts. Tables were turned over and metal chairs were ripped asunder. Yet admist the eerie silence was a young woman sitting in the corner of the Cantina, her legs propped up on the round table casually sipping on a bottle of Red Dwarf.

Her blue eyes were sunken her head swaying back and forth as she stared at the carnage that was created last night. It was a typical brawl, she partied hard got into it with a Wookie and the next thing she knew, it was a royal rumble with drunken japes exchanged as well as fists and kicks. Maybe a headbutt or two by Ami but she could hardly remember. Ami was having fun or at least that was she was telling herself. Her Dad used to tell her stories about the adventures of Vagabonds. How they were people who travelled the Galaxy and abided by their own codes. They save the day, frack the girl, and leave the town.

But life wasn't a romanticized story, the cold reality is that no one cares about if a person had a code. If anything no one cared at all. Ami remained loyal to an Imperial faction that spat her out the moment it was inconvenient. When the Tion crisis happened and the Empress killed, Ami once again saw another Empire fall. Nobody came to her rescue when she was fighting against a horde of enemies. She had to drag her wounded self out of Tion and spend months wandering the galaxy as a drunk.

Ami sighed slamming the bottle on the floor. "Fracking chit," she growled. Anger boiled over her like it was always did. She was angry at the Empire, angry that she can't reach her parents, angry that she's now in the fringes of the galaxy. But most of all, Ami was angry at herself for feeling like a leaf that goes from place to place only relying on the wind. She spent her life as a cog but she now is without a machine and Ami didn't know what to do with herself besides the few odd merc jobs.

"Drinking sounds nice," Ami muttered.

The fall of the Empire of the Lost had been quite the blow to Myri. The planetshift was even more dizzying. Myri was a young woman who yearned for structure and order. When her whole world was thrown into chaos she seemed to spin out. Couple that with the fact that the only bit of chaos that Myri could handle, her best friend, had also seemingly disappeared in the riots that marked the Empire's downfall.

For months Myri essentially gave in to the chaos. Ironically Myri had become lost without the Empire of the Lost. Somehow she found her way to Nar Shaddaa. She was looking for her sister or her father or anyone or anything. What Myri had found was quite uncharacteristic. A nightly seat at a gambling house, a couple contracts to end some insignificant low lives in order keep credits incoming, and more drinks than she was able to count. Myri was wasting away into everything she purported to hate.

Then Myri received a signal. Something she had never expected to hear again. A ping from the IFF transponder that Ami wore. Where had it been for the past few months? Was it damaged and Ami just got it functional again? The questions ran roughshot through Myri's grieving brain. It appeared that maybe some of the grieving had been for naught. Quesh? That was quite odd. But Myri picked up immediately and headed off to find out what the transponder's activity meant.

On Quesh Myri followed the pings to the Bit o Bubbly cantina. It certainly looked like the type of place that Ami would frequent. The young Thrysian woman stepped foot into the mess of a silent cantina. "Sure looks like she's been here," she mumbled to herself as she looked over the destruction.

Myri started just a bit, her hand going to her blaster as she heard a bottle slam against something. Her eyes shifted to the sound and her hand relaxed. She was overjoyed, but she wasn't sure exactly how to handle the sight she was taking in. "You buying me one too?" Myri asked in a deadpan tone before she rushed over to Ami and threw herself at the former stormtrooper.

Ami continued to bathe her tongue with alcohol. She had like what? 15 bottles throughout the night. “Lemme check,” Ami peered at the numerous bottles that were scattered all over the floor. “Nah it was definitely 50. She mumbled.

It was tough for Ami to get drunk. Her liver was so strong that she could outdrink a Wookie and still keep going. Alcohol ran in the family at least on her Amis Dads side. Her Mom hated drinking. Then again she was always the no-fun person of the family. “Still miss you Mom.” Ami sighed.

She took another swig until she heard a voice that she thought she’d never hear again. “Huh?” Ami looked up and saw her again……
Myri.

Before Ami could say anything, Myri unexpectedly glomped her. Ami dropped her bottle and it smashed into pieces the moment it hit the ground. But it didn’t matter at this point. Right now Ami felt the warm embrace by her best and frankly only friend in the Galaxy.

“Buttercup?!” Ami found herself returning Myris hug. It was unusual for the both of them to be so….. touchy. The only time Ami touched Myri was when she slapped her backside but this pure expression of their friendship laid bare was touching…… but very fracking cheesy.

“What are you doing here?!” Ami pushed Myri out of the her arms, her ears reddening. “Chit! I thought you died on Tion!”

Ami shook her head leaning against the table. “If you’re going to come all this way to tell me to rejoin whatever Empire is active.” Ami said trying to regain her tough exterior. “The answer is: Frack no. I’ve seen too many Empires fallen and I don’t feel like latching myself onto a faction that’s going to die within a week.”

Myri Dara didn't release Ami immediately when she felt the return of the hug. For a moment she simply held on—tight, almost desperate—like someone confirming that the person in her arms was real and not another cruel trick of memory. The galaxy had taken too many people already. Too many names she still sometimes spoke in her sleep. When Ami shoved her back, Myri allowed it, stumbling half a step but still smiling like a fool.

"Yeah," she said softly, brushing a strand of hair back behind her ear. "Still alive. Sorry to disappoint."

Her gaze flicked briefly to the shattered bottle on the floor before returning to Ami's face. Up close, she could see the flush in her friend's ears, the glassy sheen in her eyes, and the battlefield of empty bottles surrounding the table. Myri folded her arms loosely, leaning her hip against the edge of the table like she'd done a thousand times before.

"Fifty, huh?" she added with a raised brow. "Either your math got worse while I was gone, or you're trying to drink the entire sector dry."

At the mention of Tion, the smile faded just a little. Myri's eyes shifted away for a moment, toward nothing in particular. "Yeah… well." She exhaled slowly. "There were a few moments where that almost happened."

She didn't elaborate. Instead she pushed off the table and stepped a little closer again, though not close enough for another sudden hug. Ami already looked like she might combust from embarrassment if that happened twice in the same minute.

"And relax," Myri continued, lifting her hands in mock surrender. "I didn't come here recruiting for the latest 'definitely-going-to-last-this-time' Empire." Her mouth twisted into a crooked grin. "I learned that lesson too."

For a second she just studied Ami again, her expression softening beneath the sarcasm. The last time they'd seen each other, everything had been chaos—orders, ships burning in orbit, promises to meet again that neither of them were certain would actually happen.

And yet here they were.

"IFF transponder," Myri finally said with a sheepish grin. "Took me three bad hyperspace routes, one bar fight, and a sleazy transport pilot who tried to charge me triple because he thought I looked 'Imperial.'" She shrugged. "Figured if my best friend in the galaxy was getting drunk alone somewhere, I should probably fix that."

Myri nudged one of the bottles on the table with a finger, then glanced back up at Ami.

"So what's the plan, Barrel?" she asked, voice lighter now. "You planning to drink yourself into a coma tonight, or are you going to share?"
