Under their control (OPEN RP)

[Ruben Drail Jr]

(The streets were quiet, adorned with only the usual puddle here and there, reflecting the dull green lamp light from above. Speeders pulled across the roads on occasion, skidding around the corners, blaster bolts careering out of the open windows accompanied by the shouts of intoxicated passengers.)

(Ruben pushed the creaky door open and stepped in from the limelight to the smoke hazed bar. Lots of possible hazzards here. Not of the Fire or Sage variety, although that would have been nice, seeing as they were Jedi. He had to get his mind off bounty hunting for a while though. It was all getting very stressful having to put up with the Moffs, Visceras and even Fetts expectations on the whole matter.)

(He slid a few credits onto the bar and nodded to the barman, trying not to cough due to the potent smell in the area.)

"...root beer."

(A muffled laugh awakened itself in the mouths of all those at the surrounding tables. Ruben glanced over his shoulder.)

"With vodka and rum mixed in.."

(The chuckling stopped for a moment before the mumur of whispers and general talk arose again. Looking around from the bar Ruben had gathered this was probably a bar in which space pirate and the like hung out, not likely to find any Jedi here.)

[Rei Dragonheart]

The bar doors opened up, as two men appeared in the darkness of the night. Their shadows were casted into the bar, while approaching closer. It was just regular evening for him and Switch. Rei walked into the bar, his daggers hanging by his side. The man placed his foot onto the rather cold floor of the bar. The sheaths were firmly strapped to his body, as the Pirate came into the bar. Having his eyes narrowed slightly, he scanned the bar with a low profile. He was cautious about his surroundings as usual. Stroking his chin slightly, Rei decided to have a drink before moving on.

Making his way inside, he looked around and found a booth in the corner of the bar. Him and Switch made their way to the booth and sat down slowly. Rei ran his hand through his hair slowly then looked down in thought. Pondering for a few moments, he then called for a droid to come over. Fixing the bracers on his hand, he awaited the droid to comeover. Rei was in a fairly good mood for this time of the night. Everybody seemed to be about their business, so there wouldnt be much trouble for him and his partner Switch. The droid rolled around as he turned to Switch and nodded to him.

"So whats it gonna be for you Switch?"

[Switch Escalof]

::The scruffy engineer was close behind Rei. He held Kain's lance in his left hand, and was holding a cig in his right::

"Just gimme a beer."

*Switch looks at the droid rolling around.*

"Damn, that thing is old."

::He takes a puff of his cig::

Edit: Spelling error

[Rei Dragonheart]

"I got you man."

Rei went ahead and ordered two beers for themselves. He pulled some credits out a pouch on his belt. Placing them on the droids tray, it bleeped a few times then went off to get the beer. The droid came back a few minutes after, handing the two men their beer. Rei placed one of the beers in front of Switch. He opened his own up and took a sip. Letting it go down his esophagus, it felt refreshing to him, especially after nothing having something for sometime. Switch did the same, as the two men took a few drinks. Placing the beer bottle down, Rei leaned back in his seat. He relaxed a bit after making a run for one of their customers. It was a rather long trip, but just the usual for the two. Rein went back into thought as he normally did, while Switch shaked his head and some nearby malfunctioning service droid.

[Ruben Drail Jr]

(Ruben glanced to the side. It seemed as though another two shifty customers had arrived. Well, he at least thought they could be called customers, possibly the first one to enter would more fittingly be named a mammal, but he wouldn't say that out loud because he knew how much trouble rabid animals could cause.)

(Downing the final drops of his molotov cocktail he tried not to twist his face in disgust at the sour taste of the wrongly mixed drinks.)

"Damn, gimme a tequila.."

[Switch Escalof]

:Switch took a drink, and looked at a R1 unit serving drinks:

"How the hell is that thing still working?"

*At that moment sparks flew out of the droid's head, and it stopped moving. Switch laughs*

"Damn, I called that one. Oh well, I'm pretty bored. Guess I'll fix the damn thing."

*Switch puts out his cig, and gets up. He brings the droid to his table, and starts to repair it*

[Rei Dragonheart]

Rei looked at Switch examine the droid carefully, looking at the parts. He shaked his head while smiling a bit. His friend was always into droids and things of those nature. It was actually a good thing to have a good engineer around. His skills came in handy on numerous occasions in the past. Stretching himself out a bit, Rei rotated his neck slowly. He looked at the malfunctioning droid then laughed slightly.

"Seems like you made a new friend."

Taking the beer bottle in his head, Rei downed a drink. He looked around the rather busy bar with his eyes narrowed slightly. People and droids were running back and forth, chatter can be heard slightly from on going conversations. Rei immediately noticed someone was taking notice to them. Seemed like a curious fellow, or did he have some business with Rei and Switch? Taking another drink, Rei placed the bottle down. He called for Switch, and as he looked at him, Rei motioned to the man who was looking at them periodically.

"Looks like someone is interested in us Switch for some reason."

[Switch Escalof]

:Switch looked at Rei, and then at the man staring at the two pirates. He isnt paying attention, and cuts through a wire. It sparks sending electricity through the engineer:

"OW! DAMMIT!!!"

:Switch kicks the droid over and looks at the stranger. Obviously pissed off due to the droid shocking him, Switch yells over everyone and directs it to the man with the tequila:

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!"

:The bar goes silent:

[Kaine Darklighter]

Kaine chuckles lightly as the droid shocked the engineer, and watched on curiously as he started yelling. Then, the whole bar went quiet. Kaine began laughing from his dimmed, small corner, and half of the bar turned his way. Looking around slightly, a half-grin appeared over his face.

“Get back to what you were doing.. now..”

By emphazing the word "now", he had used a small mind trick, and everyone went back to whatever they were doing. After that, He turned back to the engineer and the other stranger, watching them argue on.

[Moranda Savich]

Moranda didn't like this place particularly much. It was dusty, grimy, and had droids behind the bar. It did, however, serve Gralish, and that was a point in its favour.

<Yeah, thank frack for that. Better than next door anyway - whatever that piss-water they were selling there was, fat chance they'll ever force that down my throat again!>

Moranda kept an eye on the door, as she sampled another taste of the blue liquid in her glass.

<If that sorry piece of dreck doesn't show his sorry hide soon, I'm outta here. I've got better things to do with my time than sitting in here all day long, frell it!>

Her mood was definately not getting any better. Yeah, well, maybe twenty years ago she'd have enjoyed a scummy dive like this, but now? Nah, not her thing - Moranda had gotten used to something a little bit better. The clientele here was rarely anything to brag about, and not even worth looking in their pockets for.

The door stayed shut. The two guys at the bar had fun with the serving droids, one of which was throwing sparks. Oh well, to hell with this hole, she was outta here...

Moranda got out of her seat, and came to stand on somewhat wobbly knees.

<Whoa - been drinking too much again, haven't we?>

Someone laughed. Moranda turned her face around, but the place was so smoky and dim, she couldn't make out any details. Someone in the corner, anyway.

Then something weird happened. She could distantly hear something being said. "Get back to what you were doing.. NOW!"

Moranda got out of her seat, and came to stand on somewhat wobbly knees.

<Whoa - been drinking too much again, haven't we?>

<What??? How?????>

She shook her head. Somehow... didn't she just get up?

What the frell was she doing? She could remember having gotten up before. Then how come she was now doing it again? This was way too weird. Must be the alcohol playing tricks on her again. Alcoholic deja-vu. Time to get the frell out of this place.

[Rei Dragonheart]

Rei shakes his head then looks around once more. It seemed they were drawing more attention then they needed. No matter, Rei thought, his daggers can handle the "trouble". Leaning up to the table, Rei finishes his beer. Placing the empty bottle to the side, he calls for another beer. The droid rolls around and places the bottle on the table, Rei promptly hands it the credits for the beer. Switch was back to working on the droid, cursing along the way. Opening the bottle, Rei took another drink then placed the bottle down on the table. It felt as if he could down quite a few of these tonight. Being too intoxicated wouldn't be a good thing right now, Rei thought. All the other visitors in the bar went back to their own business. The chatter resumed again between the people, as Rei awaited for Switch to finish. People and droids went back to scattering around the bar. Rei turned his attention back to Switch as he still was tinkering with the insides of the droid. He nodded and slid his hand over the rather large daggers strapped along his body. His awareness was still intact, making sure nothing would happen to them. They were pirates after all, trouble is second nature to the two men. The smell was rather heavy in the bar, but nothing he wasn't used too. These types of places normally meant some more job offers. Rei wasn't expecting anything to surface tonight, but he had his eyes open for opportunity anyway. The two just had finished with a run earlier in the day, so money was plenty for them for the time being. The man that was looking at them earlier seemed to be interested in something. He just awaited to see if he made a move or not. Rei figured Switch had figured the same as him by now. It also felt like the stranger who ordered everyone to go back to their work must have some influential status around here. Rei kept all his thoughts in his mind for now while turning to face Switch.

"Any luck with the droid Switch?"
