Chapter 2 - House Calls

"I don't think he'll buy that any of us are Imperial. Not the right look, and he already knows who I am. And I rather not raise too much of a fuss before we get through the rest of the list."

"Maybe you can work your words on him. He's kind of full of himself just 'cause he's in good with the Imperials unlike everyone else. He'll probably slip up somewhere if you stroke his ego or something."

Guy thinks while stroking his chin; Ah, well we can pretend we are rivals, and are going to best him in winning the Imps favor. Better yet, play to his ego, and see if we can get him bragging.

"How about just go in and make out you might have some work for the guy? Would at least mean we can get a look inside"

'What type of work? I may not be able to keep it vague. Kip, what kind of job would peak his interest'

"He runs a repair shop don't he? Say you need something fixing"

'Indeed, keep it simple. Very wise Gurag.' Guy replies, worried he may be overthinking things. He takes a dep breath'There's his shop now. Let's do this.'

OOC:

Not sure if anyone else is going inside.

Gurag pats Guy on the shoulder reassuringly (or what he intends to be a reassuring gesture) and moves to get a good spot so he can watch the front of the shop.

OOC:

Gurag won't go in as he's thinking it'll look odd if we go in mob handed. Would Guy be able to keep his comms open to us so we can listen in on what's being said inside?

OOC:

Yep, open comm device is just fine. I’ll have an update later tonight.

A barely audible chime rings out as Guy enters the well lit and surprisingly clean shop. The walls are lined with what are clearly refurbished tools of all sorts, cleaned up and available for purchase. The two Twi'lek males are having a discussion amongst themselves in one corner of the shop and pay the new arrival no attention whatsoever.

Behind the counter stands a very tall, thin, middle-aged human male who is clearly keeping an eye on the two other men in the shop. Seeing Guy enter the store he greets the Bothan.

"Morning, Friend. What can I do for you?"

Aug 6, 2021 1:26 am

Guy steps up to the counter, massaging the pain from Gurag's 'pat' on the shoulder. 'Actually, I think it's more what we can do for each other' He quickly glances at the Twi'leks suspiciously, before lowering his voice. 'I've got a job, but I also need it done quietly. I've heard Baksed was the man for the job, but it's a big job, . . . now that I'm here, I'm not sure if this is the right place.' he says, looking around the shop with a disappointed frown on his face.

OOC:

hope that's ok. Lemme know what to roll, or the GM can roll it for me to speed things up.

His interest thoroughly piqued, the man leans forward and in a hushed tone responds.

"Oh, I am the right man for getting things done quietly. This isn't the place to discuss such things though. Leave, come around the back of the store in five minutes and knock."

He gives Guy a quick nod as he stands straight, his attention returning to the two Twi'leks.

OOC:

What's the plan?

Aug 10, 2021 6:04 am

Guy leaves the store while talking to his team via comlink. 'Not sure how useful this guy is gonna be. I'll make up a story, and try and see if he' s already been working for the empire. Then let's get to the next stop. Maybe while I'm talking out back, Kip you can see if there's any useful info in his computers?

OOC:

sorry, I feel like this part is Guy focused, wanna make sure everyone is included/gets their time to shine

Kip Buckler

"I'll do what I can."

Kip turns to Gurag.

"Alright, we're going into the store. Can you escort the customers outside so we can have some privacy?"

Aug 10, 2021 6:11 pm

Guy heads to the back and as soon as he sees Baksed, Guy doesn't appear to waste any time (although he is definitely wasting time so Kip Cando his thing).

OOC:

I guess I'll let him talk first. I also want to make sure he's alone before I start talking.

Aug 10, 2021 9:52 pm

Gurag nods to Kip "Gladly, but lets see if they clear out on their own first. Can't see the guy just heading out back and leaving people loitering in the store though"

Guy walks around to the rear of the store and gives the door a couple of quick knocks. A few seconds later the door swings outward. Baksed pokes his head out to give a quick look around before motioning Guy to join him inside. A stark contrast to the front of the store the back of shop is gritty and not very well lit, save for a few workstations where various project sit in various states of disrepair.

Taking a seat behind a large wooden desk, Baksed kicks his feet up and looks the Bothan over.

"So tell me about this job."

As Kip and Gurag enter the store they are cheerfully greeted by a young women behind the counter.

"Welcome to Falu Equipment Repair! What can we do for you today?"

Out of the corner of his eye Gurag notices one of the Twi'leks slipping a tool from the shelf into his overcoat. Both of the men start to head towards the door.
