Help on the Way
At the Kainde Tjauke Saloon: Naxa-di the proprietor is a curvaceous but well toned female and Kai-dte the bouncer is a huge male with eight-pack abs and broad shoulders; his biceps are as large as Naxa-di’s lower thighs.
Naxa-di is talking with Kai-dte about the latest rumors flying around about ScornDodgers, damaged goods, engine problems, and Scorn pirates. “Kai-dte, do you think Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de have managed to stay out of trouble?”
“No, I got a hunch they’ve dug themselves in deep this time, trouble latches onto them tighter than a facehugger…..”
Just then Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de walk up to the door.
Kai-dte rumbles, “Hey, you OWE me, you gotta lotta nerve making a bet with ME!!!!” He starts cracking his knuckles and rolling his shoulders.
Setg’in-de greets Kai-dte courteously, giving him a shoulder shake; Kai-dte mellows somewhat. “We got back in one piece, only lost a coupla crates, but Tjauke-de here lost his morning meal” he chuckles, “and you lost the bet!”
Kai-dte puts his fists on his hips and thrusts his face forward belligerently, “Oh yeah, prove it!”
Setg’in-de pushes a few buttons on his wrist comp and plays back the scene where Tjauke-de gets sick in the fabric crate.
Kai-dte relaxes but still is not convinced. “How do I know you didn’t hire a slicer to fake that?”
Tjauke-de speaks up, “Cause there’s a witness, ME! Plus evidence” He pulls out of his gear a small bag with a section of stained and smelly fabric in it.
Naxa-di lets out a yelp “Get that c’jit outta here, I can’t afford to lose any business!”
Tjauke-de moves off and dumps it in the trash bin.
Kai-dte fishes some money out of his pouch “OK, here’s your credits…. But next time I make a bet you can’t win!”
After dinner Tjauke-de and Setg’in-de are at the bar having some c’ntlip, Naxa-di is bartending…..
Tjauke-de excuses himself; he has seen a cute female come in.
Setg’in-de tosses back another shot of liquor. And another…. And yet another.
Naxa-di leans forward concerned, “Hey I know you got something on your mind, you’re trying to drown it in c’ntlip”.
Setg’in-de looks at her and pulls some unruined fabric plus the waybill out of one of his pouches, and hands it to her. “Naxa-di, I need your help….I won the bet, but the rest of this got ruined in the process. Look who it’s addressed to!”
Naxa-di peers at the name, then looks up at him worriedly. “Oh, Paya help you, that ceremony is in four turns, even that souped up hunk of junk you call a ship can’t make it there and back in time” She then gets a faraway look in her eyes. “I know somebody that might be able to help”, she says as she gets up and comes out from behind the bar round to where Setg’in-de is sitting.
Setg’in-de brightens up at this.
Naxa-di points at him, “You’re not the only one making bets on Tjauke-de’s stomach”.
Setg’in-de grins at Naxa-di “You’ve been hanging around me too long”. He makes a suggestive expression and grabs for her; she evades him. He gets up from the stool, wobbling a bit -he’s had a little too much- and starts after her.
She goes into the back room pulling out a com and punches in some numbers.
In the meantime Tjauke-de has been chatting up the cute female, regaling her with stories of dodging Scorn pirates and jury rigging engine repairs. He finishes by telling her ”Hey, I’m staying in the rooming house upstairs…”
“So am I, but I’m only spending the night then I’m off to Kantra city…”
Tjauke-de leans closer, “Would you like to see my troph-“ but before he can say anything more, the cute female gets miffed, smacks him in the face and walks off in a huff.
This is what has distracted Setg’in-de, he realizes the female might not be alone and he wants to be able to help Tjauke-de if he gets in trouble.
Tjauke-de backs off, rubbing his mandible; pissing off a female is bad business…. He too has had a little too much, but gets an idea.
By this time the saloon’s musicians have set up and have started to play Yautja cantina music….. he goes over and makes a request. He weaves over to Setg’in-de and indicates the musicians -and the cutie- with a smirk. They start to play a version of “Money For Nothing” and Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de start singing the Yautja-ized lyrics. The cute female starts to laugh, she can’t stay mad at Tjauke-de for long and comes over to him. The other patrons join in tapping their feet and talons to the music.
When they finish the song, Naxa-di comes back to the three and indicates to Setg’in-de that she has had success.
Setg’in-de takes her to the side and tells her “Ok, spill!”
She replies “I have to go to the, ehm, what do the oomans call it…. Ehhh… fire lamp district?”
“Noooo, you mean red light….RED LIGHT?!?!? Just WHO have you been talking to?”
Naxa-di waves her hand “Some well dressed female came in here a seventurn ago and we got to talking, seems she knows a fabric merchant that deals in that stuff”- she indicates Setg’in-de’s pouch- “she left her number so I could help market it; I had no idea then where she worked; Kai-dte told me later!!!!”
Setg’in-de hmmmms, replies “You need backup, I don’t want you going there all by your self; me and Tjauke-de are coming with you”.
The cute female blushes green; she has sharp ears, and backs out of the situation, excusing herself. She’s interested in Tjauke-de but doesn’t want to get involved in his escapades!
Later that night Naxa-di’s assistant who works the late dinner till dawn shift shows up and Setg’in-de, Tjauke-de, and Naxa-di go to the “fire lamp” district. They locate the merchant’s doxy, Thuan Gaun-di, and show her the sample.
“Yes, I have some of that coming in, should be on the Ch’hkt-a.”
Tjauke-de looks at Setg’in-de “The Ch’hkt-a? I think they were right behind us!”
Setg’in-de nods in agreement.
Thuan Gaun-di says “well, Paya has smiled on you, I can get you some by the morning, it is 10 credits per nok.”
Setg’in-de looks up in thought, “How many noks would you need for a fine dress, like a mating ceremony dress? He looks over at Naxa-di waggling his eye ridges.
Naxa-di isn’t prepared for the question but recovers enough to say “Well, at least enough to fill that box” She indicates a small chest.
Thuan Gaun-di replies “Hmmm that holds about 30 nok’s worth, that comes to 300 credits.”
Setgin-de and Tjauke-de move off to the side and dig through their pouches… “C’jit! We’ve only got 200!”
Naxa-di sees the worried looks on their faces and turns to Thuan Gaun-di who realizes she doesn’t want to start a lovers quarrel about haggling on such an important item… “Naxa-di, tell you what, I’ll give it to you for 200; I can always charge my customers extra to make up for it!”
Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de pay up and Thuan Gaun-di tells them “ I know where y’all are staying, you’ll have it by midday at the latest”.
They go back to the KaindeTjauke Saloon and Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de have a night cap to celebrate their success.
Naxa-di is talking with Kai-dte about the latest rumors flying around about ScornDodgers, damaged goods, engine problems, and Scorn pirates. “Kai-dte, do you think Setg’in-de and Tjauke-de have managed to stay out of trouble?”
