Mos Eisley (5 Hours since Foreshadowing)
"DAMN IT AND BURN IT ALL TA HELL!" Dustin yelled as he lost another 500 credit's. The dealer, a human female, simply smiled. After a few hours in the ship, both Kristi and he had went out to Mos Eiesly to enjoy the nightlife. But sadly, Dustin had got involved in a game of sabaac and had already lost about 5000 credits. "Hey, its your own fault.." She smirked to him, thinking only one word... Dumbass. "Aw come on..." he said in a sad voice as he pushed another 500 credit's up to the pot. "I'm not gonna quit till I win at least ONE pot!" The dealer smiled and started dealing the cards again.
"I guess we're going to loose all of our money then.." She sighed and just simply watched. She wasn't going to argue with him. It never really seemed to... Well, sink in." Looking at his hand, Dustin smiled as the values suddenly changed. Pushing up another 500, Dustin smirked. "Okay, let's go now!" Kristina sighed heavily and pulled herself up. "Finally!" She laughed, wrapping her arm around him. "So, what's our losses?" She smiled. Laying down his card's, Dustin smirked. "Queen's Hand!" Suddenly laughing, Dustin hit the table hard. "I know I have ya now!" The dealer simply smiled and laid down her hand, making Dustin pause in horror. "Idiot's Array." The dealer said simply. Dustin just sat their, looking at the highest value in the whole card game. "B-but..."
"Sorry for you loss." the dealer said with a smile as she put her hands on the credits. Kristina rolled her eyes. "..Told ya." "I'm not so sure about that." Said a voice from behind Dustin and Kristina. Turning around, Dustin looked at Matt standing behind him. "Hey their Matt..." he said gloomily as he looked back at his hand. Kristina eyed Matt with a bit of a death glare and a bit of a plead. Help me get him away from here! He's loosing all of our money-kind of look. "Dammit...I THOUGH FOR SURE I WAS GONNA WIN THIS TIME!" Smiling at Kristina, Matt walked forward. "Well...I think you did." "Scuse meh?" Dustin asked as he looked at Matt weirdly. "Did you not just see her hand?"
"Oh I did..." Matt replied as he moved forward quickly and grabbed the dealers left wrist. "I also saw her using a Skifter. You see...she's been changing the value's of her cards the whole game." Kristina cocked an eyebrow at the dealer, and a low growl purred at the pit of her throat. She clenched her fists.. "Well, thanks for shedding light on that, Matt." The dealer gave Matt a hateful expression. "So what?" she asked. "You try anything and I'll scream loud enough to bring stormtroopers over here to fry all your asses!" Grinning Dustin put his hand on the dealer's whole pot of credits. "No need for that, I'll just take all my credit's and yours. I'd call that even." Kristina thought for a moment. Aw, no fun. I swear I could have beat her and got out of her by the time they came over here. She grinned, but stayed silent, taking her hand off of Dustin's shoulder.
Letting go of the woman's wrist, Matt stepped back. Just as the the dealer kicked at his leg and ran away. "OW---!" he said but quickly bit of his yell while clutching his leg, so that he wouldn't alert anyone. Kristina chuckled slightly, covering her lips with her fingers. "..I knew I should of.." She looked over to Matt and then down to Dustin. "Well, what now? Are you done with this.. Or do you wanna go lose it again?" Breathing deeply, Matt leg go of his clutched leg. "Oh yeah...I almost forgot." Putting his leg on the ground, Matt coughed. "Earlier today when I was at a cantina, I was being tailed by this woman. I don't know why she was following me, but she was good. You guy's know anything about this?" Kristina shook her head. "..No, but.. Do you think she'll come back? Is she still following you?" "I managed to lose her easily enough. It's hard tracking a ranger when he doesn't wish to be seen." Matt said with a small smile. "Yeah.. I bet." She smirked. Dustin smiled as he stood up, his jacket over-filled with stuff from the pot. "Yeah! I tell ya, this has been a good night! Why don't we head back to the Fortunata. We can go run around and start askin some questions."
Smiling, Matt nodded. "Just make sure to avoid the theives and stormtroopers...I'm sure they'd all like to know what's in that jacket." he said with a hint of humor. "Oh HAHA!" Dustin said sarcastically as he lead them to his ship. Kristina chuckled softly and wrapped her arms around herself, giving a sigh. Dustin was lucky, very lucky. If he had lost all of the money, screw sleeping on the couch.. He would be sleeping on the roof. She laughed at the image in her head and followed them.
"Dammit!" Akira cursed to herself, clenching her fists tightly. How did that guy know? How did he see it? She lost all that money? And she was doing so well. She walked through the city quickly, making sure to stay away from the stormtroopers and the others. She hated loosing, especially money! If she could, she would of kicked that guy just a teensy bit higher.. Oh yeah, that would of taught him! Zoe walked around the corner, in hopes of finding that man again. She highly doubted it.. But, she would give it a try. Her fingers quivered for her gun but... Ughn, she should of just gave up. Her eyes narrowed seeing Akira, her new informant.
She walked over to her, wondering if she had seen him. But, Akira didn't look all that happy. She looked to her and poked at her arm. "What's up your ass?" Akira looked to her and smirked. "I didn't do well today.." But she smiled. "Some ass!... Grr..." She leaned against one of the buildings and chuckled. "You?" "Same here.. I don't think I should have gotten drunk that early." Zoe sighed, her head was throbbing. "..Yeah, well.. Thats what happens!" Akira said looking to her. Zoe sighed. "...How can a guy disappear into thin air...?" She crossed her arms over her chest. "I dono..." She shrugged.
Zoe closed her eyes for a moment. "Anything new?" "No, not really. It's the same old city, with the same ol' idiots. You should have been there earlier. I could have used you, you know!" She smirked. "Yeah, well... Tough." Zoe whispered. "This guy! He was a total idiot.. He just kept putting credits, after credits. And he really thought he was going to win.. I ALMOST had him too. Until this ass spoke up and had to blabber his lips and get me in a bit of trouble. He knew I was using a shifter! How could he? Well, I gave him a swift kick.. But, it really didn't satisfy me.. I wish I could do more.." She looked over to Zoe. "You think you can take care of him for me? Huh-huh?" She nudged her.
Zoe smiled. "Yeah.. Sure! Why not? I feel like kicking some ass today." She laughed. "What does he look like?" "...Like an ass.." Akira laughed. "Yeah.. Well, give me specifics here, girl!" She smiled. "Well," Akira paused. "..Dark hair, poney tail.. About 6 feet.. He looked like a nice person, but you know, once you get to know them.. They're true colors shine." Zoe's eyes widened, and then narrowed. "...It's him." She turned to Akira and grabbed her, shaking her slightly. "Where! Where the hell is he!" She yelled. Akira cocked an eyebrow and reluctantly pointed towards where she had came. She was released and thrown to the ground as Zoe raced off. "Gotta get him, gotta get him.." Zoe thought.
Dajeck Stood on the roof of one of the many houses. His I.D. scanner covering his right eye, letting him see the racing figure of Zoe in the darkness. Standing up, his red armor glinted in the pale moonlight. With a sudden 'PWSHHHHH" his jetpack started and he flew after Zoe, watching her every move. Hopefully, she would take him straight to the bounty.
