[Kasmion Duum]

KWENN STATION

This was very serious business. Kasmion had a holo poll up on the wall and everything. Many Hapan pirates and assorted others were here.

"Each of these is a real pronunciation used by at least one planet or culture within the Hapes Cluster," Kasmion said to the room. "Blood has been spilled. We need consensus."

 

[Razmir Tezhyn]

Why was Razmir here? Uncertain. But he knew he had to speak truth to the people.

"It's Hapes."

"Hapes and the Hapans."

 

[Kasmion Duum]

"It's Hapes."

Kasmion shook his head firmly. "With respect, Vigo, no. Not Hapes. Hapes."

 

[Aylin Dara]

She was moving in passing, overhearing the argument.

"It's actually Hapes and Hapan."

 

[Nero Drake]

"You're all out of your bloody minds." Nero shook his blast helmet.

"Hapes it may be mate," he agreed with Razmir, "But Hapans? It's Hapan."

 

[Skeevi Merrill]

"It's actually Hapes

Skeevi jabbed the air emphatically at this perfect stranger, who had just given one of the worst possible answers. "See, m'new best friend knows it, thassa way it goes. Hapes is Hapes is Hapes."

 

[Mauve du Vain]

“Don’t be absurd,” Mauve scoffed. “It’s Hapan not Hapan.”

The Gand sat slumped in his chair, adjusting the rebreather apparatus with his three-fingered hand before speaking.

"This one believes it is Hapes, and the Hapan people live on Hapes."

 

[Nero Drake]

Nero drew his bryar pistol and pointed it at Aylin Dara .

"Say it right."

 

[Kasmion Duum]

“Don’t be absurd,” Mauve scoffed. “It’s Hapan not Hapan.”

"Ma'am," Kasmion said to the woman he'd recently ejected from another establishment on this station, in decidedly different circumstances, "that's a Naboo pronunciation and we have no truck with the Nabooians around here."

 

[Aylin Dara]

Aylin took a couple steps closer to the barrel of the blaster held by Nero Drake

"Hapes," she said slowly in the same pronunciation as before, "Hapan."

"I'm pretty sure its um Hay-peeez" Quinn nodded, "You gotta put emphasis on the p and the e parts"

 

[Skeevi Merrill]

Skeevi looked back and forth between Aylin Dara (whose opinion they supported) and Nero Drake 's Bryar pistol.

"Gotta sale on cybernetics," Skeevi said. "Real nice. Ifya get shot in th'eye or what."

“No, no. Sith may be great conquerors but they’re terrible linguists, by Corellia’s Seven.”

“Hapes. I was taught this by a Hapan, for goodness’ sake!”

 

[Nero Drake]

Nero said something foul in huttese and pulled the trigger.

Very drunk on revnog, he missed Aylin Dara badly. His stray shot exploded a shelf of spirits behind the bar.

“No, no. Sith may be great conquerors but they’re terrible linguists, by Corellia’s Seven.”

“Hapes. I was taught this by a Hapan, for goodness’ sake!”

Though uninterested in the pronunciation of a market that produced almost no real good used ships, Jerec perked up at this in the corner and shot a mildly distrustful look at Quinn Varanin who he did not know.

"Bah, Sith are just Jedi with extra steps."

 

[Aylin Dara]

She ducked instinctively, even if the shot was going to miss.

"You were really going to shoot me?" Aylin yelled incredulously, "Over how you say Hapes?"

She dove at a drunken Nero Drake , trying to tackle him to the ground.

 

[Quinn Varanin]

“No, no. Sith may be great conquerors but they’re terrible linguists, by Corellia’s Seven.”

"What?! How dare, I was taught by my lovely tutors on Eshan how to speak basic, you Sarca nér"

"Bah, Sith are just Jedi with extra steps."

"Extra steps?! Why are you being rude? The Sith are nothing like the Jedi"

 

[Nej Tane]

Nej leaned forward in his seat, this was a ridiculous argument to be had.

"ALL of you are wrong, and stupid. Its hah-pez."

Naturally, Nej, being a ridiculous and stupid person, picked the stupid and ridiculous argument.

 

[Skeevi Merrill]

She dove at a drunken Nero Drake Nero Drake , trying to tackle him to the ground.

"Yeh, hit'im low, I gotta great stocka metal knees-"

Skeevi's head snapped around.

"ALL of you are wrong, and stupid. Its hah-pez."

"...know what, that sounds righta me. Say more."
