Jabba's Palace. One of the biggest bounty hunter and criminal hotspots in the outer rim. Home to Jabba the Hutt himself. The place where there is a 99% chance of you not making it out alive. The place smelled of alcoholic beverages, sweat, and death. The sandy floors made the four bounty hunter's footsteps into weird shuffling noises. They were escorted to Jabba's throne room by the Hutt's major domo, Bib Fortuna.
"Jabba will be pleased that you brought this man to justice." Bib said in his accented voice.
"I'm sure he will." Dengar mumbled.
Soon, the dark hallway came to an entrance way where light was streaming through. They walked down the steps into the infamous throne room of Jabba the Hutt. All four of the bounty hunters had been in here before. The room was muggy and the air was humid. There were various types of species, mostly males, around the room either standing or at tables. Most were either watching the slave girls and the Max Reebo band preform or drinking. Bib bowed to Jabba before stepping up onto the throne-like platform with him.
"Jabba, these bounty hunters have returned with the gangster Vão." Bib announced.
"Dead or alive?" Boomed the Hutt.
"Alive." Sugi answered.
"Ha ha ha! You know that I like to deal out my own punishments! Good job bounty hunters." Jabba responded jovially. Bib handed the bounty hunters their payment and they moved to the side of the room where there was an empty table. Once out of most earshot, they started up their own conversation.
"Well, that went good." Dengar smiled.
"Good compared to others." Latts mumbled.
"Well, we got the money, so now we can leave." Sugi stated, crossing her arms.
"We should just get a room, it's late." Dengar stated.
"Yeah, I know. That's why I want to leave." Sugi explained.
"We'll be fine." Dengar said.
"Besides it's just one night." Embo added in.
"Alright." Sugi finally agreed.
Once they got a room, after asking Bib for one, they went up to it. The halls were only lit by the occasional light of a torch. Otherwise, they were extremely dark. Once at the room, the bounty hunters walked in.
"I've stayed in nicer rooms." Embo stated. Sugi growled.
"You were the ones who wanted to stay here!" She reminded angrily.
"Chill Sugi. We'll be fine here staying for the night." Latts said, taking her grappling boa from around her shoulders and laying it on the one table.
"It's not too bad." Dengar stated, looking around. He then turned to Sugi. "Or are you just spooked?"
"I've heard some pretty freaky stories of some things happening to overnight residents at Jabba's palace." She informed him.
"Ooh, scary!" Dengar said with mock fear.
"Well, when you get viciously murdered at night, don't come crying to me!" Sugi shot back.
"Sugi, calm down." Embo said, walking over to his partner and placing a hand on her shoulder. She gave him a smile.
"We should probably get some rest." Latts said, flopping onto the bed. Dengar joined her, reclining with his hands behind his head.
Suddenly, there was a rapping at the door. Embo walked over, cocking his crossbow. He opened the door and pointed his weapon at whoever was out there. It was Bib Fortuna.
"I'm glad to see Jabba's bounty hunters don't just let anyone in. You probably heard the stories." Bib said with a toothy grin. Latts was about to make a rude comment about them not being 'Jabba's' bounty hunters when Sugi interrupted her.
"Did you want something Fortuna?" Sugi asked, walking to the door and leaning up against the frame.
"Jabba wants to know if you are all comfortable." Bib said.
"We are, thank you." Embo said quickly before Dengar could say anything weird. Bib nodded and walked away. Embo quickly shut the door after Sugi had reentered the room.
"See you guys in the morning." Latts mumbled, turning her face into her pillow. Embo and Sugi both got into the bed (which surprisingly could fit four beings) and drifted off to sleep. There was a long time until morning. A lot could happen within that time.
How ominous! please review! I enjoy reading what you have to say!
