What A Nice Place You Have Here [EA1]

[Dapper Dog]

“The closest one is about 40 kilometers from here, easy to get to. They might know something of any of that,” he says rubbing his neck.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Do you have a speeder, Vain?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Why?” he says warily.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Because I am not taking your word for it. So either you take me there or I take your speed as collateral."

[Dapper Dog]

"You know all I wanted was some blasted noodles, fine," he says reluctantly.

"You realize your covering fuel or is this just a bad deal all around for me?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Fuel and noodles are on me. I am a charming lady, not a bully." She smirked.

[Dapper Dog]

“See that’s how you get things done.” He starts walking and adds, “This way, so who was crazy face or do I even want to know. I probably don’t want to know. But the investigator in me says otherwise.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"A bad, bad lady who likes to inflict pain. But you know this already. She is a Sith Lord. Do you really want a name?" Diana mused, following him.

[Dapper Dog]

“That’s enough you had me at Sith… and Bad… and well the choking. I never met a Sith before, that was painful,” he counters reaching his old beat up speeder.

“She rides better than she looks.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"But do you drive better than you look?" Diana teased light-heartedly, moving on from the previous subject.

[Dapper Dog]

“Now that’s low,” he says.

“I know my rugged swamp rat looks won’t win me any awards but ouch, my ego can only take so much of a beating.”

He laughs and adds, “You’re crazy and I am not sure if it’s the good kind but I always had the worst luck, so it fits.” Once she is in they head off into the swamp.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Oh, I am certainly a mixed blessing." Diana snickered as they rode, keeping her blaster and other lethal implements not far from the grip. "But it is not outside your influence what comes into the mix. How long will it take?" She observed the countryside.

[Dapper Dog]

"Maybe fifteen minutes, can't go all out in a swamp," he counters.

"So you came all this way for history? Are you like some Imperial archaeologist?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Close enough. I usually use what I find to guide me to even greater discoveries though. The galaxy is full of ancient mysteries, you know." She replied.

[Dapper Dog]

"I guess, what have you found so far?" he asks curiously.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Old maps, holocrons. But I was told this planet once had precognition-allowing flora, so natural treasures are also of interest."

[Dapper Dog]

"Pre-cog plants? You sure you have not been hitting the sweet sticks lady?" he says in reply.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I am quite level-headed you know. I handled that batshit crazy Sith Lord in a way that prevented greater violence, you remember?"

[Dapper Dog]

“That could be an outlier case, reminded me of an ex-girlfriend… or three, anyways, yeah fine I just don’t know about any of this. This is so far outside my normal I might as well be a wookiee dating a trandoshan,” he replies.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"And I took a trip with a guy who changes girlfriends more often than he washes his suit? I'll never learn." She laughed. "You're hairy enough to make a case of impersonation, I suppose. But what's your normal then?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Normal is trying to stay one step ahead of the Hutts so I can make a decent profit. Usually involves lots of talking, some shooting, and a whole lot of luck,” he chuckles as he speaks.

“So I guess not much different than now, just with less space wizards.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"This is an interesting supposition. And Nem'ro tolerates you?"

[Dapper Dog]

“I make myself useful, the best way to stay alive out here,” he says.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"So vague. In my book it means that you sometimes work for the Hutts to compensate for the times you don't and cost them a few." She paused. "Or that you leak information they may consider useful."

[Dapper Dog]

"Vague keeps me alive," he pulls to a stop outside an abandoned factory. The factory has a shanty town built around on the drive land in the midst of this hell swamp.

"I'll be here when you are done."
