The suns of Tatooine were burning as strong as they usually did in the morning. As the suns rose, so did the people, as the hustle and bustle of Mos Eisley began to fill the ears of a particular young street rat. His name was Prazutis, and he was actually in an okay mood. Mostly because he had actually had a good meal last night. His definition of a good meal was a filling one. He didn't really know how it happened. He got the food from the old lady who ran the cantina, who usually shoved him away. Maybe he just looked cute and helpless enough. However, it was strange. He spoke to her, and it was like her expression changed, and was being convinced of doing what he wanted... Whatever, whats done is done. All Prazutis cared about was that he had food at all.
He rose from his little hovel. It wasn't much, but it was something he could call home. He was set up in a little alleyway, disguised with trash bins in front of it. No one really cared to look behind there, and Prazutis felt safe there. He stretched a bit, adjusting his clothes and his gear. He secured the combat knife to his leg, like he usually did, and fixed up his black rags, for lack of a better word. The black clothes had worn out over the last three years, but they served their purpose. They were easy to move around in. He hid his two other possessions in his hideout. A Heavy Blaster pistol, that he kept there in case of emergencies. And also, a credit chip. 500 credits. All kept in case of emergencies.
He exited his hideout and passed through the trashcans. He checked to see if the coast was clear... then turned. Every day, he climbed a pipe by his hideout to access the rooftops. As soon as he made sure there was no one there, and then begun to climb. The food he had last night gave him a new sense of invigoration. He had a sense of energy. He also felt that something would happen today. Though he wasn't sure what.
He got to the rooftops, and then surveyed the port. Every day, hundreds of people walked around down on the ground. Prazutis always liked being on the rooftops. It made him feel powerful. Large. Since his life as a slave, he has always felt a desire for entitlement and power. To outgrow his past. Though he was a little street rat. He couldn't make much of himself right now. No one would hire him for real work. Thats what led him to his current life... The life of a thief.
Everyday, he would steal from the people in the port. Sometimes he would break into people's houses, but most of the time, he picked pockets. Using his clothes and his natural stealthy talents to blend in to the shadows, he usually snatched credit chips and wallets like it was nothing. Lately, he had got into the practice of honing his abilities with the force. He would hide in the shadows, and use the force to telekinetically steal credit chips. He had been quite successful with it lately. Prazutis had learnt to blend in with the shadows, and use the rooftops as a cover, an escape, and a vantage point. He had become akin to an expert thief... Even Prazutis wouldn't call himself a Master thief yet. He knew the price of arrogance. He had seen many cocky bounty hunters killed by thugs. He didn't want to end up shot as well.
He took a look at the port. He noticed the old lady who ran the cantina. The jerk who ran the mechanic's... and his very attractive daughter. He also noticed the cute boy who usually sat at the cantina. He wished he could pursue his desires, but knew that actually living would be more important. Besides, the both of them probably wouldn't go for a dirty street rat.
Though suddenly, he felt a large chill up his spine. Something he felt when he... sensed something. He had been training himself slightly to sense things with the force. It didn't always work. However, it seemed this time it did. As he felt it, his eyes immediately went to... Someone he had never seen in the port before. A new face... and a new mark. Time to see what his newest victim had on them. Using his skills, he jumped from building to building, getting further down to street level each time. He then immediately jumped into the shadows, hiding himself from the crowds... He wanted to get a better look at his new mark
He wanted to see what he was getting himself into.
