Nar Shaddaa

"Evenin' beautiful."

"I was just curious when, you might be back in Nar Shaddaa? My fingers are getting a bit itchy, and I was wondering if you might want to get together to preform sometime soon."

"Zanebry, darling; Fancy hearing from you. How has the Vertical City been treating you without me?"

"Without you there I admit to things being a bit dull. Like the place as lost a bit of its shine."

"I was hoping that would change by the time I returned."

"Returned? Showing more women your ship's liquor stash over some romantic view or on business with that ragtag crew again?"

"Now, now. I only take the special ones out to see those romantic views, and the last one of those I met turned me down flat when I offered to take her out to dinner."

"I'll get you to accept someday though, perseverance is one of my talents. It's the ragtag crew I'm out with this time though. They needed me for their last job and I couldn't pass up the credits."

"Better than my little trip; Down credits from when I left. My account is crying out for me to get back to work. I suppose it's fortuitous that one of the better piano players in the lower city is coming back when he is, hm?"

"That's rough."

"Hm... well, I have something lined up at the Viper for a few days this week. Could always take an extra shift or two off the dance floor to sing if you're offering."

"You know that offer is open whenever you're in town Arsele. I'm hard pressed to find any singer worth playing for, especially now that pop music is all the rage."

"But if you are wanting to hear it again..."

"I'll see what I can do Zane, but you know how rough it is trying to work your way up; You work up the scratch for docking fees, rent, and such, and you're never left with enough to bribe your way into an audition somewhere nice, let alone pay for all the other things that takes. Though I ~do~ have some plans I suppose, thanks to the influx of off-worlders and some contacts..."

"I know, it's the same for all of us after all."

"It's good to know you have some plans though, I might do a bit of the usual see if I can earn some money in the casino's or off some of the Huttball games. There are a lot of off-wordlers coming in though, I imagine I'll be able to make some money off them."

"Do you think you'll need any help with those plans though?"

"Funny you should mention Huttball... because part of that planning I was talking about was an offer I got to join a Huttball team. I think it might end up being a good influx of credits if I play this right..."

"I'll know which team to bet on then. Though I didn't know you had a interest in playing huttball."

"If you don't mind me asking though, is money really that bad? If is it I can maybe think of a few things that can help you out."

"Bad..."

"I mean, I guess so; Down to about 300 in my account after my trip here. So yeah."

"Well, I don't know if you would be interested, but I could always use a lady by my side at one of the Casino's. Someone pretty with a good sense of style, to draws eyes as it were. Give me a bit more of a edge over my opponents."

"If not that, I'd always be willing to try and work a bounty with you. If you're interested."

"Maybe on the former... as long as it's not my money we're gambling. You know how I feel about that. I mean, I guess it's no more risky than Huttball or bounty hunting, but at least in those cases cheating is actually encouraged, you know?"

"It's a good thing I don't cheat, hm?"

"Quite."

"So, should I come calling in the next day or so then? To discuss things in more detail? These comms are so impersonal after all."

"Oh I don't know darling; They can be so nice too. After all, I can be here without any makeup or even clothes."

"No one said clothes and make-up had to be involved in our meeting."

"You are right though, comms do have a certain charm to them, and they are good for the imagination."

"Mmm... seriously though, we should meet planetside, yes. When do you land?"
