A Dessert Planet or Of Sand and Sandwiches(Jace)

[Foxfire]

An automated cargo cruiser landed at a Hutt owned landing pad with no crew nor any 'living' being to over see the cargo in transient or to make sure that the cargo and the ship rand smoothly. This being because the Hutt who owned the cargo transer was one not to be messed with. So with the cargo being unloaded by nothing more than mindless droids a single small being was allowed to roam free on the ship taking what ever food he could find and consume, which was not much for the trip being a short one.

So Halc Griemer stepped of the cargoer with a frozen fish stick in one hand and a juice box in the other happy to be in the sun. Though the moment he got into the sun and looked up he realized that the planet he came to was not cold nor did it smell sweet. In fact what he had heard of this planet was that it was a dessert planet, at least that is what his mind heard.

sniffing-Where is dessert dhay said it was a dessert planet but this place is sand...... all sand. Oh maybe dhay have sandwiches. I love dhem too.

With eyes wide open he ran full long with food in hand in search of the planet dessert or that endless sandwich.

He soon found himself hot and running low on his juice box. He had to find a place to rest besides his frozen fish stick was starting to thaw and flop over. So in the tented shade of a hocker selling bantha meat Halc sat and rested for a bit.

Unscheduled arrivals and unregistered transports were not alien to the ports of Tatooine. As a planet that was essentially run by the Hutts, most of the business that went on here was almost certainly illegal to some extent. Of course that didn't particularly bother the only passenger on the obscure transport. She hadn't been a productive member of society since, well, ever. It was an amusing and sad fact all wrapped into one. None of this really even crossed her mind though as the transport touched down on the landing pad.

Gabriella Fisher stepped out into the arid climate that defined Tatooine and almost immediately her mood turned quite foul. She raised the hood of her gray cloak to prevent the sand from messing up her hair. For a girl who had grown up on the streets, she was quite vain. Well she couldn't help it, Gabriella was a rather young attractive Echani woman. Yet again she considered stepping back on the ship and leaving this forsaken planet. She was here for a reason though as much as he didn't like to admit it.

Luckily for those around her, they didn't pay much attention to her. She had cut people to ribbons for looking at her in a manner she did not like. Gabriella really needed a diversion, all this business with the Sith was boring her.

Gabriella do this, Gabriella go there, Gabriella we need him alive. Who does that damn woman think she is anyways?

She continued to grumble to herself as she walked through the 'streets' of Tatooine. The Echani was in an especially foul mood because her plaything wasn't here.

The robotic fool

The Sith apprentice was about to go on a rather long rant when she suddenly stopped. Gabriella had an odd feeling, not an unfamiliar one though. It only took her a moment to realize that it was the feeling of another Force user. She looked to her right and spotted a vendor's tent. There seemed to be a rather diminutive creature taking shelter from the desert heat. Other Force users tended to make for rather fun diversions, and Gabriella was sorely tempted to indulge.

She marked the presence, knowing that she had other business to attend to. If she finished her business here quickly, maybe she could come back and find him. Surely the Sith wouldn't care if she arrived a little later than usual. So instead Gabriella made her way to a cantina not too far from the vendor's stall. Gabriella had a meeting with someone here, and was determined to get it over with as fast as possible.

As Halc rested with in the shade a strange smell wafted through the air. To Halc noise and twisted mind it smelt of bitter sweet chocolate. Chocolate so dark that the void of space seemed to radiate light. As he sniffed the air his body shivered as if it was cold. He had not had this feeling in what seemed forever. His mind started to recall what this feeling was but just as quickly it went away.

Just at that moment a figure had walked by and a small piece of silver white hair swirled from out of the beings hood. That was all Halc needed to have his interest in some thing shiny peaked. Many weeks it had been since he had seen or touched any thing shiny, what was more the shiny smelled of dark chocolate to him. The combination of both some thing shiny and food made this being to irresistible to Halc. He either had to touch and see if it was eatable and/or shiny.

He tried to get up at once but his legs would not move. He wanted that shiny food now but he was held back by his numb legs. Had the Will of the Force seen the up coming confrontation and gave Halc this as a warning or had they just fell a sleep. Halc watched as the being went inside a near-by cantina. Slowly Halc willed his legs to move finally on wobbly footing Halc grabbed for his juice box slurping it dry and finishing the now warmed fish stick in one gulp Halc stumbled toward the cantina.

Gotta find shiny choco. I wanna choco smell. Must touch dah shiny air.

On arriving Halc was blocked by a towering brute of a being at-least Halc thought so. Coming from the full sun into the blinding darkness all Halc could get of this being was that it felt dirty and smelled of bad pork.

Where do you think your goin' runt? There is a height limit here ya know.-the brute grunted.

I go'na find shiny choco. Move outta ways!

Nope and like I said there is a height limit here you have to be this high.-leveling a hand three inches above Halc's head.

Halc started to shake some thing big was in his way blocking him and telling him he could not get shiny choco. With a force enhanced punch at the brute's lower nethers, Halc brought the brute down in one punch. Then he crawled up upon the brute's back and said ......

Nows sii'm this height!-Halc leveled his hand at the same height-But now you'sa not dat high!

Halc jumped off the brute and continued into the cantina. Soon his eyes started to come back into focus and he started once again to search for his mystery shiny choco.

A rather anxious man took the seat across from Gabriella, looking like he wanted to be anywhere else but here. She had seen it so many times before, it really had become quite boring. These people were all cowards, though he had a right to be scared. If Gabriella was either bored and/or irritated, chances were that someone was going to die. Sadly, that would not be happening here, she had specifically been ordered not to. Gabriella wasn't one to cede to authority, but Renata had a way of making her life miserable.

"M-M-M-Miss Fisher, glad to see you are doing well"

Gabriella made a show of rolling her eyes

"Get a grip man, nothing is going to happen to you"

She didn't know if that was exactly true.

"Do you have what I need?"

"Y-Yes, right here"

The extremely nervous informant removed a datapad and handed it to her. She snatched it from his hand and grinned as he almost jumped out of his boots. Gabriella studied the information on the datapad silently. No doubt the man was praying that he had delivered enough to please her. Absentmindedly, the Echani drew some credits out of her pocket and tossed them towards the informant. He looked at her once with hesitation before scrambling to pick the credits off the table.

"Now get out of here"

The young Echani decided that she might as well have a drink before she left so the trip wasn't a complete loss. It was when her drink finally came that she suddenly realized a familiar presence in the cantina. Her eyes searched the area until finally she found what she was looking for, a dangerous grin spread across her face.

I guess I don't have to go searching after all

The Aleena who had caught her eye earlier had just walked into the cantina. The Echani took a long sip from her drink and then sat back. She would wait until a proper opportunity presented itself before she made her move. Hopefully, the Force willing, this creature could cure her of some of the boredom she was currently experiencing.

Halc stressed his sun blinded eyes but could only see darkened shadows and blurred figures that towered over him. The darkness of the cantina had sun blinded him for a bit. So with out stretched arms with tiny hand Halc felt around in the gloomy darkness, that was until he felt some thing very squishy in his tiny hands.

Groping-Whats have I found it so .... sooo......squishy. Feels nice it does, like two very large marshmallows. Oh this is making me hungry. Gotta find food nows.

Halc quit groping the very unsettled twi'lek bar maid and started to follow his nose which often than not would lead him into trouble.

The smell of a very pungent and rancid dish was just being served to a group of five glamorians. they were heavily drooling and snapping at each other when the dish was set before them. They were about to start fighting over the food when Halc crawled onto the table and swiped a hand full of the pig swill of a dish.

Mouth half full-Dis toff snot bad sneeds a bit of ham grease though to really make it fly right.

The sheer shock of Halc eating from their food made the glamorians not blink for at lest a minute. But that is when their hunger and their anger rose and they grabbed for Halc. Greimer could feel their hunger along with the anger simple jumping straight up Halc removed himself from their table and landed on a ceiling rafter far out of reach. the second movement Halc made was to drag the large bowl of swill up with him.

Well now that was it the glamorians turned over their table and raised their guns to blast him. Halc's third movement was one he rarely used for it bothered him at lest till his mind goes for food or some thing shiny, for it was force fear. Halc poured force fear from him as he raised from the ceiling rafter. As snap his and the glow of a light saber was then seen in the upper darkness of the cantina. He dropped in the middle of them pouring all the force fear he could into the air and at the glamorians. He may have been small but when it came to his food he would fight to the very death for it.

Feeling the fear pouring from the little aleen the glamorians turned and fled the cantina. Upon the last one exiting the bowl of swill dropped from the rafter and in a force enhanced speed blur Halc grabbed the bowl with a little bit of over splash falling to the floor. But to Halc that little bit was as if a dear friend had just died. With a sob Halc looked at the little splatters of food on the floor. He breathed in for a sigh only to have his mind suddenly twisted back to the two gallon of food still sitting next to him.

Starting to dig back in the food-This food is nice but is not as nice as Shiny Choco.

Halc had started to go for the fifth hand full of the swill when he noticed he could start to see and what was more his senses with in the force reminded him that his Shiny Choco was near by. So with filthy swill cover hands and newly adjusted eyes Halc started to look once again for that allusive 'Shiny Choco' one.

Gabriella truly did loathe Tatooine, everything about it. She believed she had found some form of entertainment to pass the time, but was still unsure. The Echani had noticed the Aleena since before they entered the cantina and she seemed oddly drawn to him. Things tended to go bad for people she was drawn towards. Now that Gabriella's meeting was finished, she was looking to kill time. Unfortunately she had to remain on planet and wait for another tidbit of information before she could leave.

Before she could order another drink, she heard a commotion coming from the direction of where the Aleena sat. It seemed he had managed to get himself in trouble with three Gammoreans. Gabriella sniffed derisively, she did not find run off the mill bar fights amusing. She was about to turn her head away when she sensed a familiar feeling. It was the feeling of the Force being used, and not the kind she was well acquainted with. It didn't take long for the Gammoreans to get the hint and make their way out of the cantina in a rather rushed manner.

The Echani was getting rather impatient so she moved from her seat and made her way towards the exit. She could start something in the cantina but then the next person she was meet would more than likely run away. All these people she dealt with were complete cowards, afraid of their shadow. Usually she wouldn't care about such things, but Renata had been quite clear in her instructions. Gabriella tossed one look back at the Aleena as she stepped out of the cantina. He was a truly disgusting being, but ugly or pretty, they all died the same.

She stepped out into the dry heat, and pulled her robe about her a little tighter. Gabriella hated getting sand in her hair, she hated this planet. The Echani decided to go find some better shelter, and hopefully some entertainment. She wondered if her prey was stupid enough to follow her, it would be so much more convenient. If he didn't, well she would just have to find someone else to to entertain her.
