Flight of the Cosmic Hippo (open)

[Talau the Ever-Lurking]

Aunna walked onto the docking platform, in an odd sort of mood. She didn't know why she was here, or who she was meeting, but she was certain she was going to meet someone, sometime, somewhere around here. As she walked, she saw a sign across the way, on a building, that stated:

Take a ride on the first ever flying animal! Flight of the Cosmic Hippo! Grand Launching next week!

[Halmtier]

Sitting on a plasteel crate in the docking area allowed Sovire to see much of what went on in the vicinity. The last few moments had been quiet, with little more than a lone blonde female walking by, appearing aimless or lost.

Flipping the small metal switch on the side of his helmet, The Malibus used his helmet eye pieces to zoom in and more closely examine the girl and the direction she was heading to. Upon seeing the strange sign, he flicked the electrobinoculars off and thought to himself,

Hippo? Never even heard of it...

[Iota]

it wasn't long for "Pet" the ewok would find himself in a curious position yet again. He had procured a rather nifty starfighter from a rather drunken republic pilot. the pilot was so drunk he lost a game of pazaak to an ewok who had never played before.

So, with his newly acquired ship, pet would roam the galaxy before seeing a sign relating to hippo's. He had passed it at some speed and decided to turn around to view it better. As he leaned forward for a closer inspection he accidentally trigger the ejector seat, thus sending the ewok flying before finally landing infront of a blonde lady and becoming instant muslh ending what would of been a galaxy changing individual if he had not been so curious. On the clothes of the now dead ewok is his name.

"Pet" the ewok.

[Talau the Ever-Lurking]

The brunette...yes, she was a very light shade of brunette...yelped as an ewok was sent flying from the cockpit of a starfighter and landed in a pile of furry mush right in front of her! In morbid curiosity, she leaned down to look at the name on the clothes, and saw it was called "pet". Finding a shovle near by, she scraped afore mentioned ewok off the platform and carried the squishy mess over to a near by malibus.

Hey...do you know a place that does "pet" funerals here?

[Halmtier]

Unknown to the Dark blond/light brunette due to his combat helmet, Sovire was grinning uncontrollably at the now dead ewok corpse. He had tries Human, Zabrak, Bith, and many other races, but now wondered what Ewok tasted like...

"No, but you can leave him here and I'll... deal with it."

He sat up, resting a hand against one of his large horns before continuing.

"By the way- I saw you looking at that sign up there. What in the republics name is a 'hippo'?"

He nodded towards the strange sign, before looking back at the ewok corpse and snickering in sadistic amusement.

[Talau the Ever-Lurking]

Glancing back over at the sign, she shrugged. The picture looked like some giant purple animal with big teeth and little ears.

I don't know. It looks like some kind of....hairless purple bantha with it's horns in it's mouth.

For some reason, she got the feeling that this guy was not the type of person to leave a dead anything with as it might end up in some very bad places....or perhaps end up as some strange kind of coat.

[Halmtier]

"Well, whatever a hippo, it can't be the reason I was sent down here..."

He looked coldly at the sign once more before continuing.

"...I hope."

Standing up and stretching, Sovire easily dwarfed the girl in size. His thick military armor made him look even larger, the armor plating reflecting a dull red light from his helmet view finder. As he sluggishly moved into a more erect and proper military stance, he still held a somewhat joking tone to his voice.

"Move along civilian."
