Over in Tumblr land some of us have been responding to user starrypawz' 30 day challenge prompts. Here's mine for posterity.

All the fun stuff in SWTOR is not my circus, not my monkeys, etc etc. Reviews will be lovingly accepted.

(10/12: I edited the ship name because I was getting 'Electric Blue' stuck in my head every time I thought about it. And then I was thinking about Iva Davies' 80s mullet. Yeah, nah.)

Hey, man. Here's all I could find out about our new courier friend.

First: word is she's fast, she's discreet. Just talked to the owner of this cantina down here. Says he asked for a shipment of Mon Calamari Special Sauce, 2150 bottles. You tried it? Rumour is the thing that makes it 'special' is a little extraspicy kick, you know what I'm saying, and that's why it's banned in fifty-three systems in the Core alone. She got it from New Coral City to Mos Ila in three days, no sweat, not even a peep outta Empire's goons. Now he's selling those bottles for a hundred creds apiece.

Second, here's some of her backstory from around the holonet, you know, public record and all.

I got her full name as Trin Ai Kari. That's off her ship record anyway. Can't find any aliases.

'Bout four years ago she got kicked out of Republic Navy fighter school. Reason given on the record is repeated insubordination. Guess she's got a bit of a lip on her. Near top of her class, too.

Her ship's registration has her place of birth as Ta-Mireth Colony, Dorajan, in the mid rim. Never heard of it before. The colony's been gone for ten, twelve years now. Something to do with pirates, but I guess she made it off that rock before then. The ship's had a few modifications; there's nothing super obvious showing up on the service record. XS Freighter, if you're wondering. Called it Seven Seeds.

Third, the records. No big ticket items on her record, just a few misdemeanours, one or two public drunkenness raps from her navy days, a few little stuff-ups on the spaceworthy checks. Had a word to my buddy on Nar Shaddaa and he reckons she's not on any of the shit lists he's got access to.

So that's about all I can find just from a quick look around. Not much but I guess that's gotta be a good thing, right? You gotta look real hard to find someone so inconspicuous. She works out, I'd say you got a keeper.

Anyway we'll have to catch up for that drink next time you're back on this dustball. Hope Ord Mantell's treating you right. Oh, here's one more thing — here's a photo she put on one of her freighter-for-hire ads on the holonet. Don't know if Zabrak chicks are your type or not, heheh.

Be seein' ya. Give 'em hell, big V.
