Ask Nar Shaddaa Trail of breadcrumbs

[Felix]

Felix's finger quickly tapped againest his thigh as he sat waiting in his booth in the sleazy cantina where his contact told him to meet them, his eyes behind the visor of his helmet glanced between patrons and the door. This was his first time on the planet and its repetition proceeded it, a hive of every kind of criminal activity and it was then likely anyone you deal with has some sort of connection to one of the many crime families.

And on this moon of billions, he here looking for one man, a man he had spotted in a holorecording following the woman that dropped him off at the ramp of a jedi ship. he was the only lead he had, the image of his face of a man that was over 20 years old at this point, he did have a distinctive face tattoo but he knew his chances of finding the man were slim but even if he could get any info about that woman it would give him something to work with.

[Nyxia Starfell]

Nyxia was quite familiar with Nar Shaddaa- it had been here that many a fight had been won and lost. Walking the streets of this particular dirty street, the equally dirty looks were few and far between. Her hood was pulled over her head, covering her horns and casting her face in shadow. She walked with her head angled down, drawing as little attention to herself as possible.

She stopped outside the rather unsavory cantina where she had agreed to meet a man who went by 'Felix'. She walked in, pausing just inside the threshold to survey the people inside. Altogether, the atmosphere was not enjoyable for Nyxia- full of people who eyed her with mixed looks of disgust and hunger.

In the corner, she saw a lone figure sitting in a booth with no drinks or food at his table, which looked quite strange considering everyone else in the cantina was surrounded by people and drinks. She made her way through the crowd to the back corner where the figure was sitting.

"Are you Felix?" she said, without removing her hood.

[Felix]

His head tilted up to look up at the cloaked stranger through his visor, it was at this point he realised he should've used an alias or some sort of false name but it was too late for that. he would nod "I am, are you Nyxia?"

The finger had been tapping on his knee under the table, it trailed up his leg until it found the trigger guard of his Glie-44, the blaster was now pointed at the hooded figure from underneath the table, he hadn't really used a blaster but he knew enough and he likely wasn't going to miss at this short of a distance with a stun bolt because if the figure wasn't her he needed to know how they got his name.

[Nyxia Starfell]

Nyxia nodded and pulled down her hood, revealing her lavender horns tipped with gold and her dark violet hair. Her black eyes sparkled as if looking at some unseen galaxy, and she slowly sat down across from the man. He looked young and nervous; two things that could also describe Nyxia. She wondered if this was a good idea; Felix hadn't given much descripition about why he wanted to meet her; she was here under the pretense of giving information. Of course, she was armed; she was not so stupid and naive as to come into a shady bar and meet an equally shady man without anything to protect herself. Her weapons, however, were better hidden than Felix's; she saw him take his blaster out of its holster and level it at her from under the table. Many others had tried that cheap move on her.

"What do you want from me," she said; not kindly but not rudely, either. She had to take this approach with nearly everyone before she knew for sure what they wanted from her- and usually, it was the same, and pretty easy to figure out.

[Felix]

seeing her nod in confirmation, his blaster found its way back into his holster, he was hoping he wouldn't have to use it ever but that was the optimist in him thinking. It seemed Nyxia was the straight-to-business sort or at the very least.

"I need help looking for someone, or at least to help point me in the right direction, he's connected to my past, i need to speak with him" he would pull out a Holoprojector from his utility belt and lay it on the table before it projected the image of a man, looking to be in his early 40’s, bald with a thick beard and bald and a tattoo across his forehead. "this image is over 20 years old, I know his tattoo is syndicate related just not which, any information would be helpful."

He just needed a direction, a lead, a trail, just something to tell him he isn’t wasting his time, that this wasn’t a fool's errand of a boy dreaming there was something to his past.

[Nyxia Starfell]

Nyxia was surprised at the lack of reaction he gave when he discovered she was a tiefling. She was immensely grateful and listened attentively as he explained his situation. He was looking for someone... someone he had little information on. He had evidently thought she would recognize this man because of his syndicate tattoo. He was right, though, the man was definitely syndicate.

She didn't think she had seen him before, but there had to have been some others she knew that would recognize this man. It was hard to go unknown in syndicate business. "I don't recognize him but I can do a background check. Do you have any other information on him besides a picture?"

[Felix]

felixed wished he had more information for Nyxia would make her job more straightforward but it was the only lead he had, "unfortunately, no, this all I have." it was a cold trail he was on, 20 years was a long time and in the criminal world he could be dead or imprisoned or a whole bunch others things that Felix couldn't imagine but he had hope. "if you can't help, I understand I'll still pay for your time"

[Nyxia Starfell]

Nyxia was silent for a moment as she regarded the man across from her. He looked young, and sounded foolish. And desperate. "I will do my best," she said finally, taking the holo-projector from the table. Ideas were forming in her head as she stood. "Any way I can contact you if I find something on this man?" she said, pulling her hood back up over her horns, throwing her face into shadow.

She knew where to start- there were plenty of criminal records available to the public, and she knew some bounty hunters who had their own, more detailed records.

She had some calls to make.
