The idiot and the blind what could happen?

[Naruto667]

So it had been a few days after the Hutt Cartel had wandered throughout the streets of Nar Shaddaa making sure scum on the planet were still following the cartel and not having any silly ideas of breaking away and actually becoming a rival to the hutt cartel or generally refusing bow to the cartel's authority.

"Well things are back to normal"a voice muttered walking down a dim walkway on his way to a cantina dressed in a casual black shirt,a vest on top both of which gave some protection against blasters, and oddly enough..for a somebody seeing Jaz for the first time and not to others Jaz was also wearing a skirt..a gift from his late parents-many questions had been asked to the red head as to why he always insisted on wearing the skirt..even if it mean making a fool out of himself-..well no matter eventually people had learned to stop asking him questions about it and carried on as usual when he was walking around

"..."shifting his hands down to his belt he made sure he had remembered to bring his E-11 blaster on the off chance he ended up getting involved in a fight and a small combat knife for when things became really up close and personal..well it was best to be prepared for the worst..on a planet full of criminals..but Jaz wouldn't run into any trouble tonight..right?

 

[Alana Lynn]

Trouble could it be so again. No matter how she been so careful at the last spaceport even asking twice for someone to read the numbers to her. Could this one been dyslexia or something. Even so it was like someone wanted her to go to this planet of scum. Pushing up her glasses, as she walked off the public transportation ship. Even so she went with the flow of those disembarking. After all maybe there be a place or two for sell cheaply. That was the business lady in her coming out or telling herself she would be okay in this kind of scum planet.

Keeping her keen hearing open, and other sense as if there was or had been a pair of eyes upon her this whole time. Making sure sure to have a tight grip around her staff, after all it was just a simple staff. Wondering from place to place would be the best start, keeping from bumping into people would be another story. Finding herself able to move a bit quicker now, in her mind was to slip away, even then she didn't like where she would have to go. Seeing as things was a bit on shades of places.

Anyone could be hidden in those places. Finding herself unable to go much more then just that now quickly moving in and out she moved with her knack sack on her back. Tucking as she went a strain of hair behind her ear. "Well, isn't so bad now, right Araina, after all its an adventure." Even as she moved not seeing the other on the narrow walk way as she ran smack into him. "Hey watch where your going", she knew kept a better watch for shadows that was jumping out at her this one did jump out at her or was he the one standing still.

 

[Naruto667]

"Hey watch where your going" well..it wasn't everyday that somebody bumped into Jaz..especially in a dim walkway..on his way to a cantina and all Jaz could reply to the person was a simple "Eh?"..especially since she should have been able to look Jaz even in the dim walkway..unless she wasn't even paying attention while she was walking doing kriff knows what

"Well..I was watching where I was going..why don't you watch where you were going"Jaz spoke sighing quietly before ruffling his hair abit before looking at the person..before deciding that the dim walkway was getting in the way and shifted over into a part of the walkway that had some light taking the mysterious person by the arm along until they were face to face in the light so they can see each other properly without the darkness playing tricks with them

"Name's Jaz Corban mercenary fighter pilot, and what is your name?" yeah...best start to a beautiful friendship...or not..it could be the start of eternal rivalry of utter foolishness or maybe both or not when the mysterious person figures out that Jaz was a member of the hutt cartel and that she had just arrived on a planet full..of people like him..just..more vicious looking and less likely to make a fool out of themselves

 

[Alana Lynn]

What where she was going yea that be a good trick if she wasn't blind in dim light areas. Going to run into part of the railing only to feel a pull on her arm. "What", as she felt herself drag along to more shadows then all at once she saw the light. "There is my beautiful light how I missed you.", as if there was someone she was speaking to not to herself.

Oh yes the dumb one that drag her then came his name. "is this just special I know your name, what makes you think I'll give my name up so easy, after all, there all this scums running around." as she looked around then back at him. Just the turn of her head let the hood that been over her long blonde hair flow out around her. Then came her stone cool blue eyes. "Now you don't mine take your paws off me, before I have to use my stick.", as if she had any chance against some one of his size.

Finding herself unable to say much more then just to stare at his fashion choices. Raising an eyebrown only to feel that there was more that this one was going to say. If she needed to she would let her stick do the sticking. Now that we got that cleared up what now when it seem that she was blinded side if one could say that about a Hapans. Shaking her head more so in disbelieve. "You,", oh it was on that one that go her on the wrong ship in the first. " I got a bone to pick with you and your not so good reading of numbers to get me on the wrong ship.", he just look at Araina with a mischivious grin about his face that turn into a sly one speaking. "Oh so so sorry let me make it up with a drink." with at evil kind of look about him now. Looking over to Jaz, Don't worry this one be well taken care of if you know what I mean, " giving her body another cheek over. Rasing her stick at the new one "Look here I"m not going with no one get it NO ONE." as she started to tighten her grip on the staff when felt a pulling of her hair that someone had grab onto it.

 

[Naruto667]

"..."Well this was weird..she was talking to herself..or maybe just to the light itself..wait could it talk back? Nonsense, Jaz quickly shook his head ridding himelf of that stupid thought and focused back on the matter at hand which was finding out just who this person was well that was until she started to talk once more this time confusing Jaz even more she was treating him like he was some sort of evil being intend on devouring her soul..or something along those lines and he hadn't done anything to deserve such things

"Now you don't mine take your paws off me, before I have to use my stick." this caused Jaz to facepalm and just look at the woman with a deadpan expression a stick..just how old was this lady that a stick could be considered a threat..or a warning one of the two but either way he let go of her arm before the "stick" started to jab at Jaz and just spoil Jaz's wonderful day at Nar Shaddaa

"..."it was then that he noticed the look that said everything including the question she really wanted to ask Jaz which was: why are you wearing that?

"It's a gift..enough said"a quick answer to the non-existent question howevr before he could press on with the question Jaz heard say "You" but it was aimed at somebody else not at him, and so glancing over his shoulder he looked at the newcomer and sighed once again..why was life so kriffing cruel to him an so he stood there and listened to the woman and the male talk..which was apparently about numbers..the wrong ship before the guy started to talk to Jaz and the red head knew right away what he planned to do to her.

"...You do know she has the stick right..like look at it"Jaz spoke as he turned around so he could see both him and the lady pointing at what was clearly called the "stick" before he carried on talking

"That stick has probably beaten dozens of you idiots more times than my blaster's killed somebody..do you really want to fight a lady with a stick?" yep..Jaz was a idiot and he was about to carry on being a idiot when he noticed somebody coming up behind the lady and grabbing her hair..which caused Jaz to move towards the new person and tackled the person to the ground leaving the lady with the "stick" to deal with the first annoyance..not Jaz..but rather the man who talked about having a "drink" with the lady

"And...all...I..wanted..to..do..was..have..a..drink"Jaz spoke between punched being thrown and received

 

[Alana Lynn]

"All I wanted to do was get home, but that didn't happen either.", as she twisted around like a top letting the one hand go to the guys hand that had her hair that was now being pulled downwards. Even so she couldn't help but let out a little scream of pain. Darn it pulling ones hair hurt like the dickens. Finding it more of putting her thumb here he would release her hair. At the same time she let her stick go swing and in upward towards the chin.

"I want you to get your hands off me, I'm no piece of property. " come hutt or high water she wasn't going to be taken that easy. After all she was a fighter. Even those those that knew here talked her out of weapons like blasters or any kind of weapon that shoot afraid she would hit them not the bad guys.

"How you doing over there." after all if he was helping her out at less if they made it out of this in one piece she would give him her name at less she owe him that much. After all she had a feeling they wanted to not damage her to much for what every they had planed for her. Even so she wasn't going to play the same way.

"Frak me the Witch just cut me with that blasted stick." what the one that she was fighting didn't relied that there was a twist in the staff that she did with both hands after her hair was free, already feeling a few strains missing. It had two very sharp pointy razor knifes come out to play.

 

[Naruto667]

Well the upward swing of the staff hit it's mark...only it was Jaz who ended up getting hit right in his gut and would likely leave a mark for the rest of the day and onto the next and not the thug who took advantage of it to smack Jaz in the face and then move over so he can rain punches down onto the face of Jaz...and then the lady had to ask how he was doing

"Oh..I'm..doing..alright..hold on"Jaz muttered as he smacked the man in the face before deciding that enough was enough and so drew his combat knife and stabbed the man in the leg causing the man to yell out in pain, yeah the simple street fight had just gotten serious when weapons were being used..but hell if it ended the brawl then he would use his knife and blaster if needed it was then that the stick turned out to have sharp surprise

"Frak me the Witch just cut me with that blasted stick." wrenching the knife out of the man's leg and then left the man there to suffer,Jaz moved his way towards the man and drawing his E-11 blaster which was attached to his belt he then rose it up to the idiot who hadn't yet noticed that Jaz was a member of the hutt cartel but maybe a bolt to the leg might remind him, and so he did just that and fired a singe bolt into the man's leg even if that was ruining the lady's fight

"Now..I suggest you leave with your friend..I won't ask twice as I'll just shoot you and your friend and be done with it"it should be about now that the two should recognize the hutt cartel enforcer..even if he wasn't wearing his usual armour

 

[Alana Lynn]

Watching the one eyes widen bigger only to see fear come over both of them. Letting her own eyes fall upon him now. "Should I be just a scared as them of you." letting her bottom lip go into her mouth to chew on it a bit. To have her only to tell herself not to look like a fool in front of him. Even so she let her blade disappear once again back into the stick. Even so she couldn't be able to do nothing but then turn to a sort of concern look.

"Hey look I'm not hear to start any kind of trouble its just that seem that trouble kind of followed me." as she looked back to the way they had went in a hurry Even so she knew that with that this ones help. "Jaz right, I think I owe you at less a first name, its Alana." as let go of the stick with one of her hand to shake his own only to her face wrinkle up in pain. Looking on to her hand to see how swollen it had gotten.

"I could use a drink, at less let me get you one for what you did about those to men." with a sort of smile only to pause before speaking once again but this time thought before speaking once again. "I like to go somewhere there a lot of light, none of these shadow places if all possible. Even so she waited but while she did for all her question to be answer she shifted her feet back and forth.

 

[Naruto667]

Now they realised who they had just attacked, and the inevitable wide eyed look appeared on the duo faces before they ran away..well one of the men limped away with the other man's help it was then that Jaz heard the lady ask if she should be just as scared of him as the two men were

"Eh I don't believe you should be scared of me,I just have my ways of dealing with pests like them"Jaz spoke not mentioning the fact that the reason they were so scared was because he was a member of the hutt cartel and that they would have been killed if Jaz hadn't decided to just send them away beaten and bruised along with bruised egos, still watching the men getting away until they turned the corner and vanished from view hearing the lady say that she wasn't here to start any kind of trouble and that trouble seemed to follow her.

"Well you are in Nar Shaddaa this place has trouble in abundance intentional or not.."Jaz started to say before she gave Jaz her first name which was Alana who then held her hand to shake his own only for Jaz to notice her face to wrinkle up in pain which Jaz followed Alana's glance at her hand and saw how swollen it had became..first time brawler it seemed unlike Jaz who had been in a dozen brawls over the years.

"Sure there's a cantina right around this corner actually"Jaz spoke before hearing her talk about going somewhere with a lot of light and none of the shadow places, peculiar but no matter there was a cantina to visit and so the red head guided Alana onto a brightly lit cantina which not too busy at this time of the day which only a few dark booths in the right corner of the room, but compared to other cantinas there wasn't much difference in terms of layout..and luckly enough it seemed as though the duo who had attacked Alana weren't in the cantina..and hopefully they hadn't ran away to get some help...and blasters.

"Here we are..and plenty of light as well"Jaz spoke smiling before moving aside so she could enter the cantina as well, this was one of Jaz places to hangout when he wasn't busy doing cartel stuff..the other was were his two fighters were at..the spaceport

 

[Alana Lynn]

That very fact that he said that nothing to fear from him put her more at ease or got her to wondering just what or who she stumble upon. Shaking her head once or twice, as a frown came to her lips. "Nar Shaddaa boy I really did take the wrong one." even before she couldn't help herself but be where following Jaz character to the watering hole.

Walking into the place wasn't very grand but then for Nar she wouldn't expect much. The lighting he didn't lie about there was was that. "This I like very much so how one go about booking a ticket off this planet,", giving a sigh as she know no way to get to the meeting of the propriety that could be a making of a great place. Now she had to be on this planet full of scum, well most was scum. Puzzling over just who this one was that looking at her in a way, one to see that was either very unlucky or a very dumb blonde that didn't know anything. Which wasn't true she knew a lot of things one being numbers she could work with numbers and business dealings, yep that was her in a nut shell book smart not street smart.

"Unless you know of place here on Nar Shaddaa for sell that I could invest some money in." after all this wasn't her first choice of a planet but might as well take an advantage of it after all.

 

[Naruto667]

Well it was confirmed she had no idea up until now she was on Nar Shaddaa..it was a wonder she hadn't been taken into slavery..and it was for the best that she was ignorant of Jaz's allegiance to the hutt cartel that was firmly in control throughout the planet..as it would be slightly awkward if she found that out on a planet full of members of the very cartel, and so shaking his head of the thought he concentrated on the task at hand which was to get a drink, and after getting a brightly lit booth for Alana and Jaz he went over to the bartender to get their drinks

"Hey Alana what drink do you want?" glancing over at the woman before nodding his head at the weequay bartender indicating that he wanted his usual which was corellian whiskey, once Alana told the red head what she wanted to drink he would wait at the bar until both drinks were ready then head back to the booth and hand over her drink listening to what else she might have to say, which was about how to go about booking a ticket off the planet

"Well that would be at the spaceport..but I could fly you to your destination.."Jaz spoke hoping that she didn't really mind flying in a ARC-360 pausing as Alana then talked about any places on Nar Shaddaa for sell that she could invest some money into..great business stuff, things that Jaz wasn't good at..but he knew a few people on the other hand that were good at such things..especially the huts

"Well I don't know personally about any places here for sell..but I could find somebody who might be able to help in that regard" and with that he took a sip from his drink and waited for her response to the two questions still wondering what the two men from before were up to but with a shrug of his shoulder he didn't pay the thought any more attention

 

[Alana Lynn]

"If this place got I'll like a Hapan Ale if not I'll take what every your drinking." she was after all a big girl could handle her drink. At less that what she thought in her own mine at the time. Giving him the eye as if trying to figure out what his angle he had going if he had one going. "Oh what this going to cost me me, a heavy price tag I bet." even then she was trying to find where she had put her glasses, as she went looking through one of the bag she had been carrying. Finding them and putting them on, it only cause her to have a better up close view of this Jaz person. He seem to be a nice one a bit odd for his clothing choice but then again that was a good sign, Right?

Finding herself taking her first sip before speaking once more. "these people could they be the shady sort you know what I mean that would take advance of someone will some one like me." giving him this look before speaking once more. "I might not look like much but one thing I know that is my smart about money and making a few credits here and there, one thing I do not have is that of street smart and I might have from time to time miss judge a person or two before, okay so a few more with trusting, what things could say."

AS she took a few more drinks as she wanted to do nothing but drowned her pain way right this could do the trick after all she wasn't one to deal with pain very much if every. MOre of a business lady, then came back again more so then anything else. Trying to keep her fingers and hand from getting to stiff. "So are you from this place it seem the way you know your way around." trying to guess what he did for his credit. Then it didn't matter much as he did handle those to back there very nicely. Again it started to play in her mind all the possibility that he could be. "Keep the drinks coming there, sweetie."

 

[Naruto667]

Luckily for Alana the cantina did indeed stock Happen ale and so passing over her drink, he then sat opposite her hearing her ask what that was going to cost referring to a heavy price tag, well Jaz hadn't seen her before and wasn't sure if she did have money to pay for it, and so he shook his head

"I'll pay for this round"Jaz spoke before listening to her talk about shady people..well she was on a planet full of shady people so it was kind of inevitable, sitting there listening he took a few more sips from his drink

"I might not look like much but one thing I know that is my smart about money and making a few credits here and there, one thing I do not have is that of street smart and I might have from time to time miss judge a person or two before, okay so a few more with trusting, what things could say." hearing this Jaz leaned forward slightly paying attention before he spoke in response to that

"Well not everybody can be street smart, or vise versa be skilled in making money, I have no business bones in me, being a former military pilot" Jaz said mentioning his former profession a long time ago, and it was then that Jaz heard her ask if he was from Nar Shaddaa because he knew his way around the place

"No originally I was from Coruscant and I was in the GA military so I was off world a lot of the time..and when the GA fell apart I ended up drifting from planet to planet until I reached Nar Shaddaa"and with that he paused abit wondering if he should carry on talking about it..before he remembered something and heard Alana talk about keeping the drinks coming, with a simple nod to the bartender he kept the drinks coming..even if Jaz hadn't finished his first one yet

"About your question about places that you can invest money into..I know somebody who might know a lot more about this..hold on..where's is that damned communicator of mine"and with that said Jaz started to check through the belt pockets loking for the device so he could call the one person who might be able to help

 

[Alana Lynn]

Finding him much more interesting now by the sip. Even those she still had her guard on this one. It would seem might be like her well not like her as she didn't have the skills like him. After all who would want a half blind one like her trying to fly a ship. One thing being those out there that would like it that she didn't have such a thing like a ship in her hands. After all one didn't know much about how to really be good at flying in and out of tight places. Again she had gotten used to take public transportation.

That was wen he couldn't help but look under the table for what he was trying to look for, "Well unless that skirt of yours has hidden pocket I would say that maybe something was lost during the fight." giving a chuckle before she let herself look back up. If this one was in the way of have going free as a bird will it was took much dim for her to see. Seeing that there was more to this one that met the eye.

Could there be some real honest folks on this planet will business men. That very thought was shaken from her for the time being. "Beside your kind of just kind of cute in that outfit." as she let out a bit of a chuckle even then she let herself get the next one half done. In the back of her mind came that voice slow down there miss you know nothing of this one that he saved you from a bad situation but that not saying this is his way to put you in his own situation.

 

[Naruto667]

"Heh..who knows I might have a hidden pocket.."Jaz answered teasingly before he noticed that she was peering under the table if he hadn't been wearing anything else under his skirt then it would be really ackward, sighing quietly it was then that he didn't tell her off from doing that

"There I found it"Jaz spoke as he pulled out the communicator from one of the pockets on the utility belt taking a sip ruffling his hair before he moved over so he was beside her which would make thing eaiser when it came to Alana talking to the person..or rather hutt who would be able to help out however before he managed to contact the hutt he had heard Alana tell him that he was kind of cute in the outfit

"..."Jaz could only glance at the woman stunned before he shook his head it seemed as though the drink was starting to affect her..maybe

"Right Hold on a second..and..there we go"and with that the red head pressed a button on the communicator and sent out a call to Nor'baal..or at the very least he hoped this was the right frequency for Nor'baal, after a short while of waiting a holovid image of the hutt in question soon materialised..well if it was indeed him and not somebody else

">Sorry if I'm interrupting your business mighty Nor'baal but...I would like some help..of a business matter that's been asked of me by this lady here beside me a short while ago involving..credits and places to invest the credits in but i'm not a business men unlike yourself<" Jaz spoke in huttanese...or rather a amateurish attempt at it since he still wasn't good at all in the language..but hopefully the hutt would forgive him for his bad attempt at speaking the hutts language

@Nor'baal

 

[Alana Lynn]

First thought going through her mind when he tried to cozy on up to her that was just that. Even so she couldn't help but look at him a bit odd then at her drink. As she let herself make a very dumb play. After all one didn't know what he was doing, not like she could read mind now that would be a neat trick like those magic force users that are always fighting with each other. In her book that was just so so stupid.

Even then she couldn't help it but find herself doing what she did best okay for the most part it wasn't that smart right now. At less she wasn't feeling any sort of pain in her own hand. So using her other hand as she had no idea what he was saying to who knows who on the other end of this life line yep that what she be calling it at less for the time being. Thinking to herself more that she was so smart to think of it like that. "Hi there Hi there, isn't so so nice of this sweet'um to do this for little old meeeee", as she let her fingers mess of his hair much better right. 'Oh yea I'm Alana, Miss Alana."

 

[Nor'baal]

Humans displeased Nor'baal, they always had and they always would. It was their stupid need for clothes, and make-up and other such pointless finery, and Jaz with his odd little skirt and the new Human - who he thought could be female - was just as bad as the est of them. As he saw them appear on the holo-link before him, the Hutt put down his Data-Pad, and turned his attention to the matters at hand.

Jaz had tried to bastardise the sacred language of the Hutts, and the potentially-female appeared to be on something, possibly spice, hence her need to place at least four to many 'e's on the end of her words. <What do you want?> he stated quite bluntly.

 

[Naruto667]

Oh god..this isn't going to go well Jaz thought to himself as he hadn't checked before contacting Nor'baal if she was actually capable to speaking to the hutt without making a fool out of herself..and it seemed like Alana was half drunk..and that didn't bold well for Alana's first encounter..who now it seemed was playing around with Jaz's hair..or was that his imagination who knows, and there it was..the bluntness which now caused Jaz to fear that the hutt was angered by Alana's antics

Rather than take up anymore of Nor'baals time he decided to get right to the point..unlike the droids that tended to talk on behalf of the hutts..however how the hutt will answer the question is a different matter altogether

"I'll get right to the point; Would you happen to know of any places that my friend here would be able to invest her money into..but I admit..I don't have any business sense, and I was hoping you would know of any places for sell that my friend can invest money into?" Jaz asked..hoping that afterwards he wasn't going to get a call from Nor'Baal and berating him in private for the debacle this is why he always fly around in his Starfighters, so he wouldn't have to worry about anything else apart from what was going on around his fighter..unlike now in a cantina and talking to Nor'baal about something he had no clue about

 

[Alana Lynn]

This Jaz as much as he could be a well didn't know how to put it nicely so nothing was said or thought of at that point in time. Even so as she took her hand down from his hair, as she tried to smooth out her own clothing. Not that she needed to do something like that to make a first good impression. Knowing that she kind of sort of already blew that right off the planet to speak. This coming to her mind that she needed to focus on the task at hand, more drinking in a bit. Even those she still didn't know what he was saying to this big one that seem to have some pull.

It all hit her like a ton of space ship junk, that this might be her own chance on a planet such as this one. This putting a good smile upon her face trying to look sober. Even those it was hard enough she manage to pull out her own data pad, whisper to him. "Tell him I have some of my own business profolos if he wants to take a look at them, and where I went to my smart schooling." this didn't come out right but she would roll with it for now. Giving that big cheesy grin.

 

[Nor'baal]

Honestly, the Hutt had never been more confused than he was now. Was the female trying to ask him to look at her business ideas? he thought, this was a plot, a scheme to take him money! He calmed himself, thinking more rationally for a while, considering that he should here her out.

<Go on.> he said quite clearly to the female <Tell me more about your ideas.> came the Hutts resounding voice. Nor'baal seriously hoped that they would not be wasting his time, as he called for a Hookah pipe from the other room, and began to puff on it, blowing out vast plooms of smoke as he waited for the reply from the female.
