Outer Rim Barbecue [ORC and friends]

[Mala]

Mala's advance was halted. She wasn't used to that, she was used to being chased, kicked and shot at to stop her from stealing, but never halted like this so the whole thing caught her off guard. The cutting torch was still in her hand bright and burning. "Cutting shiny." she replied dumbfounded. Wasn't that obvious? "Mala wants shiny, so Mala gonna cut it."

Explanation done, she bounced between the nautolan's legs. "Shiny, shiny, shiny." she trilled in a sing song voice.

[Sarge Potteiger]

In the moments before [member="Xin Boa"] interjected, there was a palpable increase in the presence of the Force around Sarge as he drew it into him - what he was planning to do with it, who could say, but that mounting pressure simply vanished as he realized the target was now blocked. That, however, didn't stop him from using the Force to turn the torch off, if only because he didn't trust someone swinging a lit welder around. "I ain't a 'shiny' to cut. About the only thing you'll get from me is a hard time, violence, or both."

It wasn't a threat, either. He was known for being both a complete pain in the arse and quick on the trigger.

Such was life.

[Bryce Bantam]

Bryce smiled as the memories of Elysian came to mind and his victory that day…

“Ah yes, I know Elysian. Incredible beaches, beautiful forests and and rolling... “

He didn’t have time to finish as a screaming Squib when flying past him and crashed down hard on the ground beside him.

“Whoa are you ok?..” Bryce began to say but the little thief seemed not to notice, she was to intent on “Shiny” as she said while lighting her torch.

As she skittered off Bryce was about to try and stop her when he way another step up to the challenge. Intently watching Bryce motioned over for Elaine to come closer before saying.

“So what are the odds the little fuzzball gets what she is after. Bet ya 50 wampum she does.”

[Vaudin Miir]

Vaudin had seen some things in his time, rhakghoul mutants came to mind but very few things compared to combat between Sarge Karking Potteiger in a fight (kind of) with a squib. Vaudin stared in disbelief with his bottle halfway to his lips, towel still firmly in place, and shook his head.

"Now, I've seen it all and not forgotten enough." He said before finishing the motion and filling his mouth with the sweet burning scotch. He looked around for something to do and decided since he still had food and booze he would pick a seat by the fire and get well and truly drunk.

He walked over his bare feet slapping the ground as it slowly began to do that thing it did and move a little while he was trying to walk on it. His grey eyes cast about and found a nice chair and he planted his firm backside down in it with a sigh. He sat his plate on his lap and slowly picked at it as he thought of how much he had missed this while he was playing big shot in the republic senate.

"Thank the black that's over." He said to no one at all as he took another long drink. He looked over to a young woman and smiled briefly, before deciding he was quite content with his bottle. She smiled back and he raised his bottle and went back to staring into the fire. His mind drifted as he watched the flames and his memories took him back out among the stars. He was happy out there, it was a special kind of freedom and no matter what government took what planet, no one could take the black from him. He could do as he pleased on his own ship and no one could do kark all about it. Sure, he had to abide by rules when in port but hells he could pick those easy enough anyway.

He began to hum a tune to himself, pausing to take a drink between verses. when he looked down his bottle was half empty, and he couldn't make out faces quite as well as he could an hour ago.

"Musht uv been the water." He mumbled before resuming his humming.

Xin considered what to do now. On one hand he was relatively certain he could find a way to distract the squib. On the other hand the soldier had crushed most of their food and drink. He didn't really deserve a break.

"If it's a shiny, then you have to barter..." The entire culture loved to barter. Sarge likely wouldn't have his ears to himself for the rest of the evening. Served him right.

Xin stepped aside and let the squib at it. Two thoughts went through his mind. The first: where did that pretty Zeltron go? was never spoken. The second one was.

"Is that guy just wearing a towel?"

 

[Elaine Thul]

She smiled when he replied, then came a distraction a well what ever it was. Well what ever it was had decide to pick an issue with [member="Sarge Potteiger"], a well known member of Omega Protectorate. He was well known for being a grump, and threatening to put people in prison for no good reason. She was wondering if he threaten himself for his so called landing. She was also a member of protectorate, but she would serve the alliance, as after Coruscant she felt betrayed by them. Then [member="Bryce Bantam"] asked her would she like to bet on the fuzzy creature getting what it wanted, she laughed You're on, fifty wampums on it does not get what it wants. I add hundred more, that Sargent ends up knocking it out, out of sheer frustration. She then moved over so he had room to sit next to her, and would take her drink and lean on him slightly, when he sat next to her. Then they watch how it unfolded, as it one way another the Sarge was going to be annoyed, by the little fluffy thing, she did wonder what [member="Cira"] and [member="Ayden Cater"] would make of this. She use to supply them information on one sith, back when she was a member. She just remembered the three of them where thick as theives back then.
