as the mercenary wandered off to the tavern, a figure waited patiently in the shadows. he saw the man enter the bar and breath a sigh of relief. Cale then imediately turned to walk the other way back up the alley. he walked into the street and ducked under an overhang. convinced he was safe for now, he took in the information he had just heard "Blow the embassy up? and my money? Im afraid thats not gonna happen on my watch. but this other job has me intrigued as well. If I had a guess, i'd say he's out after me. but thats too little info to go on." he sat down on a step to ponder."ok, I got two options: one, I go meet with the imps at the embassy, warn them of the possible threat. however, that leaves me in the dark as to what Vape-Bait really has planned. Two, I sneak in to the bar and find out what he and his little buddies are up too. of course theres the downside I might end up a pile of ash for being too nosy. Mercenaries like to take themselves way too seriously." he sighed as he weighed the options."decisons, decisons. theres only one way to figure this one out." he reached ino a jacket pocket and flipped a coin. he snagged it and saw what lady luck had decided. he pocketed his coin and wandered back into the street.

Twelve hours later, Phoenix woke up in the dirty, hard, uncomfortable bed that he was attempting to sleep in. He sat up, and immediately noticed that there was another man in the room, clad in a flowing white robe. Startled, he pulled a lightsaber out from under the pillow, and kept it at the ready.
"Who the hell are you?"

"By order of the Senate and of the Jedi Council, you are hereby given a personal bodyguard. Seeing as how you went to bed awfully quickly, and you didn't notice me last night, you probably need one much more than you think. Also, I'm to accompany you to wherever you may possibly go. If you are seen without me nearby, you are violating the senate's orders, and thus, will be sent to the courts. Its all here in this nice sheet of paper and vid recording that came in at 4:23am this morning, even though I started last night," Neb calmly stated, before going on. "Senator, your buisness here is questionable, but my duty is not. Shall we have breakfast?" He stated, the last part being completely purehearted, with a tone that one easily could mistake for charm instead of earnesty.

His vision clearing up from waking up, Phoenix suddenly realized that his "bodyguard" was the Jedi he had dueled at Jabba's palace.
Is he onto me?
"Let me get dressed, allright?" Phoenix grunted.
Phoenix got up, went into the makeshift 'fresher, and threw a little water at his face, making sure not to go over the 2liter limit, or else there'd be hell to pay. He threw on his a black T-Shirt sporting his favorite Chandrillian turbo-surf team's logo, WhiteGold, over his black pants
He walked back into the main room, putting on his new macro-glasses to shield fromm the storm.
"Now, Master Jedi, lets go have some breakfast."

Darkened Angel Vice Captain

Angel woke up, but was still half asleep and just stayed in bed for a few minutes, before finally getting up. After a quick shower, she got dressed and headed over to have some breakfast. She spotted the Dark Lord accompanied by someone else. Noticing his attire, she knew he was a Jedi, but didn't understand why he was there. After having a filling breakfast, she waited until the Dark Lord was ready to leave, passing the time by dismantling and fiddling with her blaster, making sure all the components were in the best condition.

After having scouted out the offered bounties in town, Tssirk began the hunt. He came to a stop in front of a a non-descript building and double checked the worn sign outside before stepping in.
Inside was dark and smoky, as any typical bar or cantina was, though even for Tatooine it seemed awfully tense. As his eyes adjusted to the dimness, he could make out the forms of various races hunched over their tables, glancing furtively over their shoulders everytime they heard something. They seemed to be waiting for something, but he was unsure what.
Not wanting to draw any attention, he moved with a hunters agility through the crowd towards the bar, making sure not to look anyone in the eye or bump into them. He made it without incident, and ordered a glass of water, a pricey commodity in and of itself on this desert planet, and slipped the barkeep and additional credit chip with a meaningful stare.

Seeing the new arrival come to the bar Tious replaced his guns and ordered another drink. How the hell had he been told to come out of retirment. Well his brothers would be here soon then the buisness could begin. For now he drank heavily as all of them had a habit of doing. Even though he was digesting the drink it didn't dull his senses but gave him a confidence boost and he seemed to become stronger.

"Wherever you wish. Tatooine isn't known for much besides cantinas. And I personally don't want to fight the entire bar..." Neb cooly said.

another group of people entered this particular Mos Espa dive; among them was a tall dark haired man, his face marked with stubble and several scars. he wore a grey duster over his white shirt and black pants. when he moved, the duster shifted, revealing the matched pair of DL-44's holstered at the man's hips. he cased the tavern as he made his way to the bar, noticing the Human mercenary and the Trandoshan bounty hunter out the corners of his dark eyes. he stepped up to the counter, rested his spacer's boots on the brass rail and ordered a Soccoran Rava. As he waited for his drink he glanced again at the Reptiloid. "water eh? strike it big at the pazik tables?" he asked casually in an outer rim drawl.

Tssirk regarded the man cooly, his large reptilian eyes blinking. He had a confident swagger, and had flashed his weaponry wiht an obvious disregard for stealth. He was either covering up his fear, or very sure of his skills.
"I do not often partake of gamblesss," he replied. "Luck isss rarely on my ssside. Or are you not one to rely on such thingsss?" He nodded towards the holsters at the man's hips, a tiny sparkle of amusement in his slitted eyes.

"Luck is a fickle mistress my friend." the gunman said. he scooted over to let a relatively tall jawa reach the bar and continued."You cant keep your faith in luck. thats why you pack insurance. Cause you never know when Lady Luck is gonna frown."

"Very well, I know a place not far from here."
THey boarded the landspeeder Phoenix had bought from the Jawas and began speeding through the dunes, towards a place known as Silvia's Inn.
"I don't belive I caught your name, Master Jedi."

The Gunman sips his drink as the Jawa bustles past him again. "make up your mind Sand Rat." the Gunslinger says. the jawa squeeks and flees out the door. Shaking his head, the Gunman turns back to the Trandoshan. "Jawas. skittish little bastards. so, what brings you to th cankcer on the a** of the galaxy friend?"

Meanwhile, back in the street, Cale makes his way to a decent eatery. he stopped past an alley and chucked some dirty rags he was carrying into the shadows."Time for breakfast." he muttered."good thing I got cash. its never a good thing to skip out on your bill on Tatooine"
