As The Galaxy Turns Episode 1, Season 1

[Darth Insightful]

Ok aspiring young actors, here we go. I apologize for my tardiness, but I got busy and it couldn't be helped. But I digress, let's get going.

Scene 1:

Xan-Rae and his padawan (DF and Padme) saunter into Jack Dafiend's (Javen) bar on Coruscant, looking for information on a rumored assination attempt of a senator. As they enter, a bounty hunter whose name is a mystery, (Krogenar) notices the pair and listens to their conversation with the bartender with great interest.

Action!

[Javen]

Jack is is busy pouring drinks, as he notices Xan-rae and his padawan comes towards him.

Jack:"Well, nice to see you two hanging around here, it sure makes this place feel even more safe according to the latest news I've heard. What will you two have to drink?"

[Darth Fabulous]

Xan: I'll have a Ruby Bliels.

[Javen]

Jack Hands Xan his drink" What will your friend have?"

Turns around for a moment, making other drinks. And hands them to the waitress. On ther other side of the bar seems to be a heated discussion about something and it's getting out of hand.

Jack"If you both will excuse me for a moment"

[FerrisWiel]

TuTu is screaming at the top of its androgynous lungs:

"How dare you! First you insinuate that I'm some kind of floozy and then you say that the Boonta Eve races are superior to the Hoth Asteroid Belt Rally! Why I oughtta!"

TuTu removes the monocle from its eye and polishes it on the very high hem of a slinky cocktail dress. The waitress wearing the cocktail dress decks TuTu.

[Javen]

Jack decides instead to give Haiss Mallore the security guard in the Entertainment district a call about the situation.

Jack"Haiss, I need you to calm a situation down we have over here at the bar, it's become way out of hand and if you don't do something soon about this TuTu I am going start losing business."

[Darth Vegas]

"I'm on my way." Haiss said, placing the com back on his utility belt.

He got on his swoop and rocketed away to the Cantina that was just around the corner from his station.

He walked in, his eyes furious and tense, one hand on his blaster, ready to take it from it's hoslter as he walked toward the dispute that was soon turning more violent.

"There a problem here Jack?"

[FerrisWiel]

A tremor in the atmosphere leads TuTu to develop a lower profile, turning to the initial source of conflict "Sorry about the trouble, what can I get for ya, wampa? Waitress, get this guy what he wants... and keep the change."

--FW

[Siamese Sith]

A young boy of about 19 wanders past "DaFiend", the flood of conversations can be heard from outside Dio calls to his seeing eye droid "Hey 2020, lets check this place out, maybe someone here can help us get back to the upper levels." A series of chirps and C2020 hovers in thru the main entrance followed by young Dio Trypptifaerris...

[Padme]

Lara Zen walks towards the bar to talk to Jack. "Who is TuTu? I have never seen him around here," asked Lara, as she flipped her hair.

[Isamu Starkiller]

moved....

[Darth Vegas]

Hiram looked over at the booth where all the commontion was going on, and payed attetion to all the new patrons entering the bar, he then took a seat at the booth, next to a bright orange male twi-lek, and a wookie that looked as if he'd downed to many shots of tusken whiskee, like he was gonna pass out, or vomit all over the bar.

[FerrisWiel]

TuTu, whose gender is a mystery, approaches the mysterious stranger and speaks quietly with him.

--FW

[Siamese Sith]

As Dio enters Da Fiend he senses tremendous tension all about
"2020 keep your photoreceptors peeled, something's gonna go down.......I can feel it" Dio mutters to his faithfull droid.
"Hey kid, ain't it past your bed time, what can I do for you?"
Dio whips around towards the voice and knocks into someone.....
The sound of glass shattering silences the crowd, Dio senses the patrons shock and hears the sound of multiple blasters being unholstered....

[Krogenar]

Krogenar narrowed his eyes at Tutu, and watched him approach.

Sipping water from a battered metal disk, he finished the liquid, and then refastened the disk to a spot just above his knee. He looked down into his boot and spied his old skinning knife tucked neatly alongside his hairy leg. He had fitted it with some of the junk these soft feet attached to everything, and now it vibrated when he pressed the knifes handle a particular way. It was sharper that way, he had discovered. Over the years he had sharpened and rehoned it down to a near invisible thinness anyway - but he had to adapt, he reminded himself.

It was the only weapon he still carried with him from his former life.

He inhaled slowly through his nose, and closed his eyes, letting his senses radiate away from him.
[...alcohol... some smoking drug... oils from weapons ... perfume ... TuTu's fearfulness ... and that peculiar smell again....]
It was the same smell he had encountered in his escape from this city's guardsmen. They had been strange, like monks. Krogenar's shoulder still ached dully from the encounter. He scanned the crowd for one of his pursuers.

The bounty hunter's eyes swiveled at the sound of breaking glass. A blind man was apologizing profusely, with one of those obscene metal men as a guide. Krogenar made note of the jittery patrons who slowly sheathed their weapons: blasters. Of all the patrons, only himself and the man at the bar remained calm - the man with the peculiar scent and the red drink in his hand.

TuTu was pulling at his sleeve now, jabbering at him.

"Hi there Lara", Jack says flirtasiously.

"Well, TuTu is a person that is involved in alot around here...especially stirring a bit of trouble now and then.But we keep it under control, or will know what will take place if not."

Jack starts polishing some glasses and hears galss shatter, as he turns around, he sees a young boy across the room."Hey! Little boy! You know your not suppose to be in here, get over here!"

"Everybody just calm down, and put your blasters back it's just this nusiance of a kid, who I seem to not be able to rid of"

[Darth Vegas]

Hiram gave his order, "Hey Jack, gimme the usual, I'll have a Correlian Ale, atomized, not fized."

[Padme]

Lara Zen walks over to where TuTu is to introduce herself.
"Hey there stranger, what brings you around these parts?", asked Lara as she pulled out a chair to sit down.

Thru the downpour he spots the hooded figure standing in front of his cab.
"Hey Ol timer trying to catch nemonia?" Isamu calls to the hunched figure
"Any chance you're headed towards the Industial sector" asks the mysterious figure with a tired but proper tone
"uhhh no not rea.......yeah sure hop in, it's on the way" responds Isamu, confused as surely he trully didn't want to.
" Your generosity will not go unnoticed...." came from the fare in the back seat.....
Earsina Averroés sat down on the back seat of the cab. She had her hood drawn closely around her head for two reasons. The first of which was that it was raining outside, and the second, she wished to go unrecognised. She clutched her suitpack closely to her stomach. Otherwise known as Senator Averroés, she had left the senate on an extended "leave of absence", and was now travelling to her uncle's lounge, on the other side of Coruscant.

[padmeamidala]

After some thought, and several minutes of silent travelling, Earsina began to reconginse her surroundings.
"Begging your attention, cabbey," she said quietly, trying desperately to hide her Corellian accent. The cab driver turned around absentmindedly, "There's a Solar Hotel coming up on the left here in about ten minutes, that is where I shall be required to be dropped off."

[Rebel Astromech Droid]

Minera walks in to a bar on Courascant with a frown.

Minera: Get me a drink, something heavy

someone name jack is pouring drinks

"Bad day?" he asked

Minera: You don't want to know, but I am never doing a run with pukes on my crew again. Even if they ofer to work for half.

"You're right I don't want to know"

Minera takes the drink and shakes out her long black hair. She puts a rare leaf over her eye(hey every one don't ask it was all I could think of). The sign for her contact to meet her. She has a cargo of spice docked nearby and she doesn't want to hang on to it for too long.

Director's Note: The management requests that all actors refrain from filling in dialogue for characters that are not their own in order to allow the scene to develop in a more spontaneous and random way. Thank you, carry on.

"Hi there Lara", Jack says flirtasiously.

"Well, TuTu is a person that is involved in alot around here...especially stirring a bit of trouble now and then.But we keep it under control, or will know what will take place if not."

"HEY, who you callin' a kid, look buddy, all I need is a lift back to the upper levels and I'll be outta your hair." Dio responds with a hint of anger in his voice.
Meanwhile C-2020 scans the crowd, just about everyone was packin heat but a lone individual hunched over in a booth far in the back. C-2020 bleeped out a chorus of chirps and beeps informing Dio of the most direct threats to him as well as a brief asessment of their current situation.
Suddenly.........

[Javen]

"Well, I apologize for that. But I have been having kids dart in and out of here from time to time and thought you were one of them. As for a lift, I believe I can get you that, in the mean time sit down, have a drink on me"

Jack stares around the room for a minute, waves at Krogenar to come over.Waiting to see if he will, he starts talking to Minera.

"Me have a bad day? Never, I don't have bad days, they just keep on getting better as they go by...trust me on that. Need another drink?"

[Padme]

Lara Zen gets no reply from TuTu so she slaps him and walks back to where Xan-Winn is and sets down. Lara then asks Xan, "Why are you being so quite, is something on your mind?"

Krogenar ignored TuTu, whose face now resembled a large red handprint. The bartender waved to him, to come to the bar. Blinking, he silently cursed the 'keep for drawing attention to him.

He sniffed, and decided it would be more suspicious to not respond. Leaving TuTu whimpering over his face, Krogenar stood and walked to the bar, his long, leanly muscled arms swinging at his sides. He aimed himself for the older looking guardsman, and allowed himself to be distracted by the woman who had silenced TuTu.

He bumped into the guardsman, his elbow spilling his crimson, sweet-smelling drink on his robes.

"Eh?" Krogenar surveyed the guardsman's robes, as though he was just realizing the damage he'd caused. He smiled at the monk-guard, letting his white canines peek out over his lips.

"Sorreh."

[FerrisWiel]

Entranced by a dream about long lost love and hot Wookie lovin', TuTu has slipped into a near-coma. Consciousness returns following a slap on the face, "Poopiedoo, huh?" Whoever it was has gone. More alarmingly, TuTu can no longer spot the beloved Krogenar. Fear grips and terror strangles before darkness consumes. TuTu has fainted.

[Isamu Starkiller]

[padmeamidala]

Earsina gulped, if only she'd asked him to drop her off a little closer to her uncle's lounge than this...but, no, no, she couldn't take that risk. She'd have to check into this hotel, and change, to remask her identity, then she could call up another cabby to take her to her uncle's lounge.
"Yes, I'll be quite fine, Thank you good sir." She reassured him, handing him 120 Basic Marks, 20 more than she owed him, "For your troubles, sir," she said faintly, and without another word, she stepped out of the cab, and onto the landing platform.
Lightweight suitcase in hand, she made her way up to the grand, towering entrance to one of the most terrifying places she'd seen in her life....Which is saying a lot.

[JediGirl16]

OOC: Hey, sorry for not showing up lately... school's been busy.

I haven't missed any of my scenes, have I?

[Siamese Sith]

Dio pulls up a stool next to a couple of Jedi unknowingly. "Gimme a Jade Lotus, please" asks Dio. Suddenly C-2020 sends Dio a message in a pitch so high only Dio hears it, "Master, it seems the bartender has signaled the unarmed man that was sitting in the back......he's headed this way at 3:30 at his current trajectory he will knock into the patron sitting two seats from you"!

[padmeamidala]

I think I will

BIC:

Earsina walked briskly up the platform to the Tyrell Towers Solar Hotel that loomed ahead of her. She turned around to see that the cabbey had just sped off in search of other travelling clients. The weather on Far Coruscant was gloomy that day, her emerald green cloak whipped tightly around her legs, and she held her hood tightly around her face, lest it be blown back, and her identity revealed.

The doors flew open with a nice *whoosh* as she stepped within 5 feet of the opening, and she strided into a warm, poorly-lit, lobby populated with creatures from all depths of the galaxy, and many strange looking plants. She cautiously approached the information desk to behold a strange, almost frightening looking alien sitting behind it.

"Hello?" She said quietly in Basic, still trying to mask her Corellian accent, "Um, may I get some assistance?"

[Siamese Sith]

Dio acknowledges C-2020's warning and angles himself so if something happens he'd be able to move out of harms way.
Thru the flood of conversations Dio singles out the thud of the approaching mans footsteps, he notices an irregular adjustment to the pace and feels the spray of liquid on his right hand. "here we go" Dio thinks to himself.

Lara Zen passes out in the middle of the floor after drinking too many Jury Juices.

OOC: Oh dear, there seems to be a disturbing trend of folks passing out in the bar. Somebody should investigate.

--FW

[padmeamidala]

"Umm...Excuse me?" Earsina tries again, her calm voice pleading to be heard, "Uhh...can I get a room?" She says to the unresponsive strange looking alien reading something. She shifts her heavy luggage from one hand to the other, exasperated, if everyone was this impolite to those who weren't high ranking officials, she was in for a lot of aggrivation.

(OOC: This is an opportunity for anyone to join!!!!)

[Krogenar]

[As the Rodian lugged the Senator's luggage to her room, he thumbed a small transmitter and placed it against the case's thin metal shell.]

Krogenar smiled at the guardsmen, but received no response. Though he had spilled the man's drink against his robes, the guardsman remained calm and unperturbed. These 'Jeedae' were not easily provoked. Though he smiled outwardly, the aging bounty hunter began slowly changing his plans.

A rhythmic thumping at his shoulder made him turn away.
Tossing a few credits to the barkeep, Krogenar walked to the door. One of the 'Jeedae' was eyeing his back now.
No. He didn't need anyone following him along.

[Rebel Astromech Droid]

Minera walked back to her room. "Yeah well I'm never doing that run again. Those dumb bulky idiots are as good as fired. What am I going to do with the load of spice though?" She pondered the questuion quickly. "Thaqts easy all I have to do is sell it here any low life would do anything to get his hands on some.

OOC: I don't mean anything, but this sucks. I think I need to kill my character off! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[kopernikuz]

For no particular plotworthy reason, Rohk VanDiv bursts into the bar. All eyes turn to this Weequay enforcer, fear etched on most everyone's face. His reputation precedes him.

He glares malevolently and moves over where the young Jedi Padawan Lara Zen lay helpless on the floor. The bartender reaches under the bar for a blaster rifle, readying himself should something bad go down.

Rohk smiles, kneels next to Zen, breaks out a vial of smelling salts and revives her. Her eyes flutter as she sits up.

Rohk tosses the used vial into a Rodian's drink and leaves the bar as quickly as he arrived and for particularly less plotworthy reasons.

(still OOC: Okay, I may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but are you referring to my senator (Earsina)? Or another one?)

[padmeamidala]

Hey-Okay, isn't anyone gonna reply, or am I the only one interested in what happens??
