Sitting In A Cantina

"I am not wooing you," he said with great dignity. "I am perfectly happy with whatever degree of attention you intend to give me. When we met, you were research." He sipped experimentally. "I find interesting people and I write about them. I make them immortal. And you...you deserve to be immortalized. I hope you'll let me."
 
Zandra narrowed her silver eyes as she lifted her drink. She didn't quite believe him, but she wasn't completely taking it as an insult. Someone didn't want to sleep with her. She'd heard worse things.
"Research, eh? So, you think I'm... interesting?"
She grinned slyly over her drink at him.
"Interesting..."

"Yes. Isn't interest interesting." His voice was totally deadpan as he continued to drink. "I mean, let's be real. I would be perfectly happy to sleep with you, but I'm frankly more interested in what makes you tick. You're a perpetually intoxicated Echani master gambler. That is fascinating. What makes you different? Because you are quite obviously a cut above the pack."
 
"What can I say?" she shrugged, "tradition don't suit me. Family pride? Got none. Ain't much of an Enchani, am I? Sure, I like ta fight, but that's 'bout all I got."
She stared straight ahead, slowly sipping at her drink.
"And I ain't 'perpetullarly' intoxicated," she added, "You just happen to find me when I am. Seems ta me, ya hang 'round places like this in hopes of finding young, unsuspecting, intoxicated Echani ladies to 'research'."

"What can I say? I got a taste of the genuine article, and now nothing else works for me. I am utterly ruined on sentient junk food."

He held his glass up to the light, pondering lost souls and rhythm.

"I need something more substantial. And no, that's not me calling you fat."
 
Arumi spun back around to look at Zandra and their new companion, an odd fellow to say the very least. The mando'ade waved the bartender " A few more rounds and one for the new comer" he said as he listened to them.

" Interesting choice of friends and compansions you have miss Zandra, eccentric and rather odd. But you would seem to attract that quality of freinds " he said with a chuckle as he motioned to himself and towards the Mand'alor.
 
This guy was weird. And Zandra liked him. He made her laugh. A guy that could make her laugh was worth keeping around.
"He is, ain't he?" she replied to the Mando, "I think I'll keep him 'round a bit longer. You too,"
She nodded to Arumi with a grin, taking up the drink he just bought for her.
"You get me drunk tonight, we'll be best friends for life, you an' I."

Connory accepted the free drink with a nod. "Well, that's two people callin' me weird in thirty seconds, so I must be doing something right.

"Question for ya, bud," he said to Arumi. "You're dressed like a Mando but carryin' a sabre. What's the deal? I've seen a couple quasi-Jedi-Mandos, but I've never seen one that didn't have to make a choice sooner or later, no matter whether they was good or bad. How you manage being Mando and...well, I'm guessing Sith?"
 

Rebekka Brek Madak

Paradoxical Bucket Full of Crazy!
" Mando and...well, I'm guessing Sith?" the Rasalak that Brek madak was drinking must have had something psychotropic in it, because first he thought he heard 'mando' and 'sith' in the same sentence and when he looked about, he could have sworn his eyes were flat out lying to him; there in one of the booths was a white haired chick, a weird guy with a hat and some round musical instrument, and 2 rought-and-ready guys, the giant one of which was fully suited in Mandalorian Armor !

Shambling over in his rickety-looking armor and smugglers vest and holster, Brek said " I hope you don't mind me joining....standing.... in, but you guys are kind of obviosu, being dressed to the dozens". mostly to the pair of mandalorians "Do you happen to know who 'boba' is ?" The Nagai was of course, unknowingly referring to Boba Fett, but the video thing never did specify a last name, just a man in silver mandalorian armor, talking to someone named 'boba'.

If they knew what he had, they would probably rob him blind, deaf, ugly, naked, and stupid (if not also dead as well) for what could arguably be a mostly pristine mandalorian Relic; Boba Fett's thousand-year old videobook with Jango's recordings.
 
" Boba?" the sith master said as he arched a new brow towards the new comer " Have never heard of a Boba" he said as he welcomed another one into the conversation. He did not remember the galaxy being so forth coming and friendly but it did indead lead to some interesting encounters.

He returned to using Mando'a " Mand'alor although i do not know in the grand scheme of things who i will fight for or against, if there is a day you need my services i will give the assistance i can. Be it my sabers or be it what ever paltry forces i have managed to gather".
 
And something about a Sith. Well just wonderful. her new friend here was a Mando and a Sith, apparently, according to her slightly less new friend. and some new guy wandered over to ask about somebody named Bobo, or Babo or something. Still, the more the merrier. At least she wasn't drinking alone tonight! And she was drinking for free! That was also a plus. She might even decide to bring one of them back with her tonight.
...If Lady Luck was feeling gracious.

The bald man was talking Mando'a, and Connory didn't catch a word of that. And there was a certain spark in Zandra's eye, and Connory wasn't about to be the guy who shot for that. If it happened, it happened, and he didn't intend to be doing to pursuing.

"Next round's on me," he said, noting that the Mando hadn't answered his question, exactly.

"But Boba...that's a name I haven't heard in a long ol' time. Boba fething Fett was Mandalore a while back. Wasn't much of a Mandalorian, but he sure did some good for his people. There's a thousand old stories, things I come across in my line of work."
 
Stories? Zandra liked stories. Interesting stories about interesting people. She'd met a lot of interesting people in her travels. It was one of the reasons she traveled.
"Tell me one of those stories," she smiled, raising her glass, "It's what ya do, right? Tell stories? Well, I got credits to spare. While these gents are discussing their business why not entertain us outsiders?"
Oh yes. She had that spark in her eye.

"Well sure," he said with a grin. "There's a thousand of'em, like I said. Let's see, Boba Fett...well, there was the Sarlacc thing. He got eaten by one, digested for a good while. The thing kept him alive until a bounty hunter came to get him, dragged him half-dead out of the mess, started climbing through the underground chambers -- dropped his gun, right? He's dragging Fett, and Fett's basically out cold, but his eyes snap open and he snatches the falling gun out of the air. Blasts the crap out of the Sarlacc, and this with most of his skin burned off by stomach acid.

"There's some detail missing, for sure. It's been a thousand years, or near enough. They say he made a deal with the Vong to keep Mandalore safe, but when they turned on him he ripped them apart -- him and a handful of commandos, and him almost eighty years old and full of the kind of tumors you get in bad clones.

"They say he had a kid when he was a kid, like fourteen or something. They say Darth Caedus, that's Han Solo's son, beat Fett's daughter to death, and Fett sent Solo -- his old enemy -- a pair of crushgaunts in the mail with a note that said 'with deepest sympathies' or something. I hear they even used those crushgaunts to help kill Caedus.

"What you wanna hear? I've got a million more."
 
She drank as she listened, tilting her head back to drain every drop. She listened close. How was she to choose when all the stories sounded entertaining? She thought for a moment, fingers absently sliding along the rim of her empty glass.
"I think.... I wanna hear 'em all!" she decided with a nod, "You just make them all sound so good."

"That's 'cause you're drunk," he said, deadpan. "My delivery's off. And that's 'cause I'm drunk. Now the only question is, will your standards descend faster or slower than my abilities? In storytelling, I mean."
 
She stared at him for a moment, her silly drunk mind trying to figure out what he was getting at.
"Well, I guess we'll have to find out," she decided, setting a credit chip on the bar before sliding it over to him, "I paid you for one story. I can pay you for more. One way or another."
She grinned and winked. this night was getting fun.

"Ohmy." He rolled the credit chit through his fingers and made it disappear. "Well, I guess I'd better get working on a story, then. And it should probably be a good one. i'm always in need of...payment. Then again, I'd hate you to feel obligated. If I told you a really, really good story, I mean."

He sat back, pondering his glass. And a slow smile crossed his face.

"Our friend standing here is Mandalore, commander of supercommandos. Now, I've got sources across the universe, and one of them is, well, let's call her an old, unrequited love of mine. She was trained by a plant, half Sylphe or something like that, who takes pleasure in seducing mammals. And once upon a time, on a planet called Junction, that particular plant decided to...tactically neutralize our friend here. I wrote a verse about it. Now, I'm not sure about the details. Not a one of my sources knows his first name, and a couple of people disagree about his last name, but I went with the version that fit the rhythm scheme. Tell me what you think.
Mandalore Garett sleeps with trees
Splinters bring him to his knees
Fight without him at the helm
He's off contracting rare Dutch Elm
"Whatcha think?"
