Ask Wake Up Call

[Segri Targe]

Cantonica/Canto Bight Downtown​

15:44 local time​

Theme​

Her goal was to escape her old life, to start a new one and come clean. For the most part she did that so far. But she still hadn't achieved what she wanted. She was still a mess of a person...

But that was okay! Nothing a few drinks and some hard drugs couldn't fix!

"Hey! Who stole my light!" the Zabrak shouted over the music, stumbling around the nightclub looking for her lighter. The place was spinning slightly and there were a bunch of funky colours floating around. Not to mention, it looked like the ceiling was checking her out. If that ceiling didn't mind its business, she would kick it's backside.

"Hey, kark you, man!" she called out with a giggle as she found her lighter by a table that may or may not have been her own. She put her drink down and brought the joint to her lips, lighting it and taking a long drag from it. She fell back into a seat and made herself comfortable next to some other random guy that she didn't recognize. But he looked good so that was fine. She shared her joint with him and sat back, sipping at the drink on the table. the drink tasted like the same thing she had before. And she distinctly remembered to ask for something else. Or did she forget?

She took another sip and decided to forget about it. She heard a particularly stupid story being told by one of the guys at the table. It wasn't even funny, but she couldn't help but laugh like a moronic seal or something at the story. The guy next to her gave an interesting look and she returned with a smirk. "Yeah, what you looking at?!" she blurted out, a lot louder than intended, but that didn't matter.

Before she realized it, they were outside and walking down the road. His arm was around her and she was keeping close to him, struggling to keep her balance. "Hey, hollup. Wha'syour name?" she asked loudly with a hearty laugh. Eventually her balance gave out and she leaned against a wall to regain her footing. In the meantime, she pulled out another joint and lit it, taking a deep drag from it to try and calm her nerves. What happened to the other one?

[Nakira Sinvala]

Nakira watched the city from the passenger shuttle's window. She knew that the princes of Hapes enjoyed their visits to Canto Bight, much to the dismay of the Royal Guard. Keeping them secure on a planet like this was harder than it looked; she had read the reports back when she was still in service. But those days had long since passed. No longer was she supposed to guard those of noble birth, which made her visit to this planet a lot more pleasant.

The Jedi Padawan was the third to exit the shuttle. While she normally didn't stand out in her Jedi Robes, this was one of the few planets that actually required a proper disguise. Well, disguise... wearing something fancy was the standard here, especially downtown. Therefore, she had traded her Jedi robes for a red trench-coat, covering a simple yet fancy dress. As usual, the Jedi had her lightsaber with her, strapped to her leg and out of sight.

Her task was a simple one. There was going to be an auction in a couple of days and one of the items for sale was an ancient star map, drawn by hand. It was nothing special really, but contained places that had yet to be rediscovered, or so the rumor went. It was up to her to obtain the map and bring it back to the Temple for safekeeping. It was the perfect task for a Padawan, since there was really nothing and stake here. But still, Nakira wanted to prove herself. To the Order, to Felix, and to herself.

Thus, Nakira strolled through the streets of Canto Bight, looking for her Hotel's address. She couldn't help but notice how many people were drunk or high already, and it wasn't even 4 o'clock yet. Was that the standard? If so, she wasn't going to enjoy her time here.

The man waited for her to light her joint. The spice-laced product quickly started to take effect, making her drowsy and a lot easier to move around. Something her current escort took advantage of. He didn't introduce himself. He simply continued to lead her on. Unfortunately Segri did not take kind to that, even in her state. And the drugs made her reaction that much more severe.

"H-hey, this isn't the way to my ship..." she caught on with a hint of concern in her voice. She broke out of his grasp, stumbling away a few steps to make room between them. She swayed a little as she tried to focus on him, but it was hard. "Come on, baby! Don't be like that." the guy said with a smooth voice, trying to get closer to her. "No, kark off." Segri said curtly, raising a hand to him to try and keep him away. "Hey, hey. It's cool. You're in bad shape. Let's just get you off the streets, how about that?" the guy continued, slowly getting closer.

In her dazed and confused state she struggled to think quickly. Before she knew it, he was leading her further. "Hey, Get off me." she protested, trying to break away once more as they started to move towards an alley. He didn't let go. He kept his arm around her to keep leading her away while also trying to not attract any attention to them.

"I said let go!" she shouted, weakly shoving a palm against him. But the effect was not gentle at all.

The man flew through the air for several meters before finally rolling along the ground in front of a bunch of onlookers. The confused Zabrak fled into the streets, stumbling as she moved. She tried to look around but the world didn't seem to stop spinning. She braced against a wall with heavy breaths. She hoped that the action would stabilize her and keep her from freaking out. But right now she was a mess. She fell to one knee and kept a hand against the wall, focusing on one spot in front of her to keep the world from spinning.

Whether it was a good or bad thing, her unintentional force attack sent her escort flying right past a certain padawan walking along the street...
