So fighting a droid with a blaster rifle was a bad idea.

Sure, he could probably take it out except his blaster pistol had been deliberately broken to make it a stun pistol only and stun pistols had little effect on droids. He was going to have to take the time to fix it wasn't he? Ugh that just sounded like a lot of effort but he supposed he could do it. But the downside was that the damn thing might be able to get a couple good shots off.

On the plus side - they were dumber than a tonne of bricks.

And he was smarter than a tonne of bricks!

Also...

Their power cores were rather adaptable...

Crix swapped his pistol for his screwdriver and charged out from behind cover once the droid had walked past him.

"What the-waaah!"


Tackling the droid onto the ground on it's front, he managed to pin it's blaster rifle underneath it's chest chassis as he started on one of it's access panels at the back.

"Wiz! Hurry up - we're gonna be making a fast exit!"


The droid squirmed.

"Hey! Put that back! You're not a licensed operator!"


He tutted and jabbed with the screwdriver, cutting the connection to the voice modulator so the droid couldn't talk anymore as he worked on removing the power core. They were so much better when they were quiet!

Scram outta this place?

You didn't have to tell her twice!

"Yeah, yeah, cool it boss-man," she muttered, extricating it with just a few more wires in place to be snipped out of the way. "You can't rush art, y'know." What she was referring to, herself or the things they needed, was up to translation, but it didn't take long before she popped back out, a wide grin on her lips.

"Let's spring outta here!" she replied, taking care to slip and slide on an easier path down the junk heaps, mindful of sharp edges or unsteady footing.

"Ya gonna play voice box with a tin can all day, let's move it!"
She was already starting to make her way back from where they came, eyes darting for any more possible enemies. It was time for them to skip outta here, the sooner the better in her own humble opinion.

Thankfully, the power cores for the old B1 battle droids were rather well known. The damned CIS had manufactured literally billions of the blood things and parts for them still cluttered up scrap yards from Coruscant to Endor. Or they would if Endor had any scrap yards - he wasn't sure if it was still all forest and sociopathic teddy bears like the history holos said it was. He hadn't really paid much attention in that lesson, he'd been making up stormtrooper memes because he hadn't wanted to be seen paying attention to something so 'nerdy' or whatever.

Eh he wasn't going to make a fuss out of it cus, the way he saw it, he was way too young to be getting nostalgic and wistful about the past and whatever.

"It's a power core!"
he called out to her, "These things are more malleable than yer impressionable lil brain, hun!"

Aha there it was!

He pulled the power core free from the droid and immediately started doing the typical teenage thing; he started sprinting away from the thing he had broken before there could be consequences for him breaking it. It was just what came naturally to him in the current situation, even when said consequences probably included being shot or imprisoned or whatever.

Good thing the wiring could be wrapped around him so he wasn't trying to carry some kind of loose bundle of wire longer than he was by a factor of ten. Grinning as he caught up with Willa, he juggled the power core.

"Lookie lookie Wiz - I got me a shiny!"

She was already beginning to go at a long-legged pace, but she glanced over her shoulder at Crix with a wide grin and a sparkle in brown eyes. Letting out a laugh, she shook her head and kept bolting, even through the fence, until they made it to a safe alleyway. It would be a little while yet before they made it back to their own little junk heap, but by then their spoils would be well-placed and well-used.

"Crix, you're crazy," she beamed at him with a smirk between breaths. "But it's... one of your better qualities, gotta admit," she teased, tilting her head to gaze at him better. "Ya feelin' good with our gains, though? I'm feelin' ready to blast off this hunk of junk."

No time like the present... and yet, there was a heady thrill to it all. A taste of adventure she felt they both needed; was this living dangerously? If so, she never wanted to get back to her boring life on Coruscant ever again!

Yeah he was crazy - crazy awesome!

Come on, who else would bash open a battle droid just to take it's power core for later use? Or break into a scrapyard to make sure to steal all their best, literal, garbage? Aside from Enby, he was the only one crazy awesome enough to half of that! Enby might be crazy awesome but when it came to tech she didn't have anything on him.

Wiz might have some more nerd cred now that she'd helped him take some of the best they could find so they could actually fly the hunk of junk they'd bought as their ship.

"We blasting outa this hunka junk heap to go fix up our own hunka hunka burning junk."
he laughed, "But don't you worry Wiz - our baby is gonna be beautiful!"

... that came out wrong.

She smirked openly at his expression and his words; black brows cocked sassily at his last words, then sauntered past him, brown eyes sparkling. She nudged him slightly with her hip as she passed, chuckling. "You have no idea," was all she said, humming along.

No one seemed to be actively chasing them. No one was shooting at them. She was with a cute guy on a planet she was only slightly familiar with. Life was good in the world of Willa Kanz.

Alania noticed two other people and ran up to them.
"Um hi!" She greeted the two people.

She hadn't really met any other people on the planet and was pretty shy. Maybe these two would be nicer than others?

Ah he’d done it again hadn’t he?

He’d done his best to set her up for something that would end with her blushing up a storm and, instead, she was able to turn it back on him and he was the one red-faced. Still, he didn’t let some red cheeks stop him from grinning right back and having a bit of a laugh with her. Wiz was the kind of friend who wouldn’t poke fun at him for blushing after all.

It was half of their whole deal.

“Alright but I get to name em.”
He joked right back, “Everyone who’s heard ya music knows that names ain’t your strong point hun.”

Seriously.

And then someone walked up to them and Crix did his best to act non-suspicious because that was always the best bet. He grinned and wrapped an arm around Willa’s waist to affect the idea that they were just a couple wandering down the street.

“Sup albino street meat!”
he waved to the other person, “Nice night we’re having eh?”

She could feel heat immediately flush her cheeks as Crix looped an arm around her waist, stiffening a moment to glance up at him in utter confusion. Albino street meat? What? It was then her eyes tracked to the new figure... and she forced down the strange, warm, buzzy feeling tingling in her chest and at the nape of her neck to snuggle into Crix' side, giving the stranger her best wide smile.

"Hey kid. 'Scuze us, places to be and all," she continued, making a show of wrapping her free arm around his waist as well. Suddenly, she felt possessive of Crix, and couldn't explain why. It was time to skip outta here with their ill-gotten gains, not be sociable.

Alania narrowed her eyes. She put her hand on her saber.
"Mhm yeah yeah. Just be careful out here okay? We've been getting some...reports on a bunch of planets including this one. Don't be surprised if you see some droids out here or hear some fighting."
She kept her eyes narrowed. She didn't trust these two people.

What was the little girl doing running around in the middle of the night? Sure he and Willa had been wandering around but they'd had a reason to. He eyed the kid for a moment and he felt the twist in his gut that he associated with the Force. It wasn't so much a bad twist as one that just kind of let him know she wasn't just a kid.

As if her fingering her lightsaber wasn't a hint enough.

"Right so ye saying that there's reports of violence."
He raised an eyebrow slowly, "On Corellia. Riiiiight... and water is wet kiddo, tell the Galactic news something they don't already know, eh?"

Corellia was lousy with violence.

The albino woman wouldn't need to go far to try and find some but she could do it without him and Willa. He gave the woman a jaunty little wave goodbye and wandered off with Willa. Feeling cheeky, he gave Willa's ass a quick squeeze.

"Lets get outa here, see if we can't remix some of your songs again."
