Tatooine - Owen Fortuna

Sep 27, 2015 10:50 pm
On a particularly hot day, deep in a dark cantina in Mos Eisley, an intense game of sabacc has been going on since the previous night. Four beings sit around a table staring intently at their cards.

"You in or you gonna fold Owen?" the well muscled Nikto asks from across the table.
Sep 27, 2015 11:01 pm
Owen Fortuna looks down at his cards, thinking about his next move. After a moment, he smirks and throws some chips onto the mound of credits in the center of the table.

"Of course I'm in. I see your bet and raise you twenty!"
Sep 28, 2015 1:01 am
The Nikto, Noof, leans back in his chair, his green skin darkening. "You're bein' awfully generous givin' me all those credits there." he says. "I'll math you and raise you another 20." he throws another couple of credit chips into the pile, causing the xexto to the right to throw his four hands up in the air and fold.

"Awfully confident, aren't you, Noof? Maybe I've finally met my match. I see your twenty and I call your hand. Let's see what's behind those big meathooks of yours," Owen says while throwing another handful of chips on the table. As he sits back in his chair he subtly palms a card into his hand.

The players show their hands with Owen coming out on top winning the 100 credits. The Chadra-Fan on the left throws up his hands chittering madly.

"Easy Taiko. He won fair and square. Besides, his luck can't hold out the whole night. " Noof says with a smirk on his face. "Care to raise the stakes? Maybe 100 ante this time?"
Sep 29, 2015 3:07 am
"Why don't we make it interesting?" Owen pushes all of his chips into the middle of the table. "All or nothing!"
Sep 29, 2015 3:11 am
Noof leans forward in his chair, smilling. "Alright I'm in." The other two agree as well and the cards are dealt.

OOC: This check will be at 2 purple 2 red, but you get an upgrade and a boost from your advantages and triumph last round.

That pile of credits on the table was too much to resist. Despite his better judgement, Owen palms another card into his hand and then tosses the cards down on the worn tabletop.

As Owen reaches out to grab the credits, Noof puts a giant hand over them. "One last round. Double or nothing. What do you say?" Noof asks.
Sep 30, 2015 4:51 am
Owen realizes this Nikto doesn't plan on leaving this table without those credits. He slowly leans back in his seat. "You know me, Noof, can't turn down an offer like that. Deal me in."
Sep 30, 2015 4:32 pm
Noof sits back and smiles. "Smart move Owen." he says as he deals the cards to just himself and Owen. The two other beings begin gathering their stuff and standing to watch the last round.

OOC: It's going to be 2 red 2 purple for the difficulty again.
Oct 1, 2015 2:43 pm
The stakes are much higher this time, and Owen feels the gaze of the other aliens as he considers his next move. He still has his ace up his sleeve - his skifter card. "Let's get this over with Noof. Show me your hand." Owen says as he slides the skifter card in with the other cards.

As Owen is gathering up the pile if now 4000 credits, Noof sighs and stands. "Listen, buddy. I like you, and you played one hell of a game, but I can't let you leave with all those credits." He nods to the two 9 the beings who step up behind Owen. "Nothing personal man, just business."
Oct 2, 2015 3:53 pm
Owen rests his hand on his holster. "I figured it would end this way. You're very predictable, Noof," he says with a chuckle.

Noof winds back and throws a punch catching Owen square in the jaw. Owen stumbles back into the Xexto who grabs onto him with all four hands. Noof's follow through causes him to stumble forward off balance.

The Chadra-Fan pulls out a blaster pistol and aims it at Owen as the two of them struggle on the ground.

It's your turn now.
Oct 6, 2015 7:08 pm
Owen glances around the room from beneath the xexto, and stops struggling. He brushes dirt off his coat as he gets up.

"Alright, I get the picture. You can have the credits, Noof. But don't think I'll forget this."
Oct 6, 2015 7:15 pm
"Heh, I'm sure you won't." Noof says with a smirk. "It's too bad you're such a coward. I was looking forward to smashing some skulls tonight. Now get out of my bar." he says as he jerky his thumb over his shoulder toward the door.
Oct 6, 2015 7:20 pm
Owen ignores the jeering aliens behind him as he leaves the rundown bar and steps out into the bright Tatooine sunlight.

"Nice day! Now I need to figure out how to get off this planet without any credits..."
Oct 6, 2015 9:34 pm
Owen had been avoiding this next step since he arrived in Mos Eisley, but he knew it was time to visit the Hutt.

He started to raise his arm to flag down a speeder taxi, but then he remembered he had bet the last of his credits. Owen trudged off down the crowded street toward the Mos Eisley Cantina, where he hoped he could get some work. Anything that would pay enough to get him off this dusty planet.
Oct 8, 2015 4:11 pm
As you walk into the cantina, you are hit with a wave of smells from dozens of unwashed aliens from as many worlds. As you sit in an unoccupied booth you're eventually approached by a human wearing gaudy jewelry over a fine silk tunic."You looking for work my friend? Because my boss is always lookin for new pilots." he asks.
Oct 8, 2015 4:25 pm
"As a matter of fact, I am looking for work. Let's go see your boss," Owen says as he downs his drink and gets up from the table.
Oct 8, 2015 5:46 pm
The human leads you to a back room with a strong gamorrean guarding the door. The human leads you through the door to a dark room where a young hutt is lounging. The man races up and whispers in the hutt's ear. "My recruiter tells me you are looking for work smuggling. Is that true?" the hutt asks in huttese.
Oct 8, 2015 7:58 pm
Owen is always caught off guard by the size of a Hutt whenever he speaks with them. He can't help but think about how the Hutt resembles a giant, fat lekku, detached from an unfortunate twi'lek's head. He grits his teeth and then steps forward.

"Yes, I am looking for work. I have a ship and I am a capable pilot. I can handle anything you offer."
Oct 9, 2015 3:57 pm
The hutt, Teeba erupts in booming laughter. "Gareth, you've brought me a confident one this time! Well let's see if he is as good as he claims. I've got some crates of spice in need delivered to Corellia. I'll pay you 1000 credits once the delivery has been made."
As the hutt is talking, your comm chips impatiently with a call from the droid you recently hired to fix your ship. Teeba frowns, "I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" he asks angrily.
Oct 9, 2015 6:07 pm
The chirping from his commlink surprises Owen. He had almost forgot about the droid he hired! He had planned to get his ship repaired and upgraded with all the new credits he would win, but that didn't work out like he hoped...

Owen turns aside and brings his commlink near his face. "I'll be with you in a minute!" he whispers, then faces Teeba again. "My Lord Teeba, I accept your gracious offer. I will deliver the crates to Corellia safely, I guarantee it." Owen says, finishing with a deep bow.

"If you would be so kind, Teeba, a down payment up front would be extremely helpful in getting your goods off planet quickly and quietly."

"Ho ho ho ho, I like this one's brashness. First day on the job and already making demands. I'll give you twenty-five percent upfront, but do not make me regret this." bellows the young hutt. He then indicates he is done and the human servant rushes forward to usher you out."We'll get those credits transferred to your account right away and the cargo should be delivered to your docking bay within the next few hours. I suggest you be ready to go by then." he tells you as you leave the backroom.
Oct 9, 2015 8:34 pm
Quite pleased with himself, Owen leaves the cantina and walks back to the spaceport dock where he left his ship. He remembers the droid had interrupted him earlier, and so he calls the droid back. "Droid, are you still there? What did you need to tell me?"
Oct 10, 2015 2:26 pm
Over the comm you hear some muffled voices. Listening closely you can make out, "Looks like we're gettin' us a droid and a ship today."
Oct 10, 2015 3:03 pm
Owen quickly shuts off his comm. No use in letting these thugs know he was coming. By now he's reached the docking bay for his ship. Owen draws his blaster and quietly walks up the entry ramp into the ship.
