It Just Isn't My Day [LM5]

[Nekoinu]

The arms dealer shook his head. "Nope! There were too much going on! If I had gone after it, I would have gotten shot or sliced open or exploded!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Such a golden opportunity, missed." Moyr shook her head. "Well, like you said, Mr Thran, nothing is free on the Moon. If you'd like a close-up demonstration of my lightsabre, I'd need to charge you for it."

[Nekoinu]

"What did you have in mind?! A demonstration of technique perhaps or something even more interesting?!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You mean you want me to slay someone?" Moyr tilted her head.

[Nekoinu]

"Sure! It is Nar Shaddaa after all!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"That sounds a lot like a bounty, Mr Thran. Do you have enemies you'd like gone?"

[Nekoinu]

Zios shook his head. "Well, none that I can think of off the top of my head! And it wouldn't be much of a bounty if I went with you! I'd just shoot him in the head myself if I went with you!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"That would defeat the purpose of seeing the agony of being portioned by a lightsabre." She shrugged with both hands. "You need to figure it out."

[Nekoinu]

"Well, my first thought was having you kill someone random on the streets! That tends to backfire, though. Hm..."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"So you'd like me to abandon my principle to not kill without a good reason?" She teased.

[Nekoinu]

"Hey, I thought credits were a good reason! That and making your good pal Zios happy, right?! Right?!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"How many creds is good though?" She asked philosophically.

[Nekoinu]

"Well, if I asked you to stab someone random on the street, then that wouldn't really be a bounty." Zios went deep into thought for a moment. "Let's start it at 500 Credits. Would you kill someone with your lightsaber in front of me for 500 Credits?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"It's not a bad offer, but I'd like something better than that."

[Nekoinu]

"How about a 50% Friend bonus? That makes it 750 Credits!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Well, if friendship is staked in, it's hard to refuse." She looked around.

[Nekoinu]

The crowd around was typical people going in and out of the cantina. Who was worthy of being slaughtered randomly was up to interpretation. "I can't say I'm particularly picky in this case!" Zios mused.

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr was looking for some shady double-dealer who would in some way remind her of Torsin.

[Nekoinu]

There were certainly men with black hair and dark clothing shuffling about. It was, after all, Nar Shaddaa.

[Moyr Ahaya]

She wanted one who was full of himself and had hurt women. She reached out through the force to find one with emotions of that kind.

[Nekoinu]

Once more, that was a type of person offered in spades on Nar Shaddaa. Zios tapped his foot, his natural energy waiting to be satisfied by murder. "Sorry. I don't mean to rush you!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr finally made a decision. She quietly approached the target, waiting for the man to pass near Zios, then closed in. In the crucial moment the long lightsabre found a way into her hand out of nowhere. As the two bloodthirsty blades fired up, she cut the man hip to hip, then beheaded him with the second blade as the first had passed through. The cauterised parts flopped in three separate directions.

[Nekoinu]

Zios was unable to help but clap excitedly for the performance. "If only I had kept my recorder out! Oh and we should probably leave!" He called up on his datapad and began typing out a message. "I'll get someone to clean him up. But right! Let's go!"

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr consented with a nod and vanished in a side alley. It had felt good, to feed her blade like this.

[Nekoinu]

The two of them shuffled away and were out of harms way, at least as much as one could be on Nar Shaddaa. Zios pulled out three 250-Credits chips and held them out for Moyr. "Brilliantly executed! Lightsabers are truly a fascinating, extraordinary, spectacular weapons! Perhaps one day I will find someone's lightsaber to wield but for now this has satiated that need!"
