Chapter 2: Kashyyyk

[Kaloth Varsk]

Dar leans to caster. "Lets be careful. They don't look very friendly here. And that's without giving them any reason to hate us."

Stepping up to the reception desk, the human woman meets Vin's gaze steadily, a pleasant smile on her face, "Hello sir, how may I be of service?" Almost as soon as she finishes speaking, the protocol droid behind her starts repeating the message in other languages. While waiting for Vin's reply, she brings up her computer's display as she prepares to start entering information.

A short time later, Sovain wakes from his nap as he hears his cell door unlock. Over the intercom a voice drones in wookiee, "Cell block F. Please leave your cells and procede in an orderly manner to the mess hall for evening meal.' As the message continues to ramble on, Koshka half smiles and heads for the open cell door.

As Caster passes the wookiee at the door, the wookiee reaches out and touches Dar's arm, "Hey," he rumbles in barely understandable common, flipping a belt pouch open to flash the contents inside, "Interested in some deathsticks?" In front of the two men, the Red Bark's door swings open as two obviously drunk wookiees stumble through the opening. For a moment, Caster sees the interior. The inside of the Red Bark appears much like thousands of other spacer's bars throughout the galacy. Loud music and smoke fill the inside of the building, and its hard to tell if the strong smell of alcohol is coming from the two intoxicated wookiees brushing past, or if the smell just followed them through the door.

Vin replies, "I received a head injury a short while ago; the impact seems to damaged my memory implant. I'm told your facility is capable of repairing the damage."

[Wisconsin Wookie]

Caster quickly sidesteps the two Wookies and catches the door before it closes. Turning to Dar he waves and says, "After you."

[Stararmor]

"Alright, something to eat. What kind of human slop do you wookies plan to give us?" Sovain says with a half smile, following Koshka to the open cell door, following him to the line.

When Vin replies in common, the droid makes the surprisingly human gesture of slumping its shoulders slightly, almost as if it was dissapointed that it's survaces wont be needed. Not seeing the droid's reaction behind her, the woman gives Vin a friendly smile, "May I have your name, and the name of your primary care physician so I can bring you up in our system?"

As Caster slips inside the Red Bark, he sees the deathstick dealing wookiee eye both him and Dar closely before the door swings shut behind them. Turning their attention to the room, its obvious that most of the people inside are from off world, but there are also a few wookiees mixed in the crowd. The rich smell of smoke and spilled alcohol dominate the interior of the cantina. The interior of the cantina is a series of rings filled with tables and chairs, leading down towards a small round bar at the center. Behind the bar, a wookiee and a human are mixing drinks, the wookiee looks up as the two enter, giving them a nod in greeting before returning to the drink he is making. Along the far wall, the characters can see a shiny new jukebox built into the wall, a rodian and a barabel appear to be having a spirited arguement directly in front of it, the din of the cantina is enough to wash away any sound they may be making.

Chuckling deep in his throat, Koshka replies, "Slop," Glancing over at Sovain, "Eat it fast and you wont have to taste it." Stepping into the mess hall, the place seems packed with prisoners, about half of them are wookiees, and more than half of the rest are human. Around the room are long tables with benches running down their length. Koshka heads directly for the mess line along the east wall. Motioning towards the wookiee guiard at the end of the line, holding a bowcaster in his hands, Koshka says, "Step one, we get his bowcaster," Sovain dosnt know why, but something about the wookiee's smile makes him wonder what the large wookiee has planned. Ahead of him in line, Koshka takes a tray and starts loading food onto his tray as he works his way down the line.

[Jedi Skyler]

"My name is Vin Darkmauler; however, I have no primary care physician. I've not needed to visit a doctor in a long time."

[Wisconsin Wookie]

Caster inhales the stench and grins slightly, muttering to Dar: "My kinda place." Caster will move to the bar and try to catch the wookiee's eye, holding up two fingers and pointing to the tap.

[Stararmor]

Sovain thinks about it for a minute. He gets a plate and lets his plate fill up with food. He looks at the bowcaster. "Do you plan on doing so? Or do you plan on me doing so?"

[Guardian_A]

The woman turns in her seat, grabbing a datapad from the cabinet behind her. Turning her attention back to Vin, "Please fill this out and return it. Once its been returned, please go to area J, "She gestures in the general direction of one of the hallways leading away from the reception area, "One of our doctors will see you as soon as they have a moment." She pauses as she enters a little information into the computer in front of her, "Will you be needing translating services during your visit?"

Caster makes eye contact with the wookiee behind the bar. The shaggy wookiee nods at Caster's gesture. He finishes mixing the drink, sliding it down the bar towards the patron who ordered it. By the time Dar and Caster reach the bar, the bartender is setting two wooden mugs in front of them. The wookiee rumbles something at them, but neither man understands what the furry bartender says. Not waiting for any response out of the two men, he walks down the bar towards another customer.

"Just grab it when you knock him over." Koshka growls. Sovain is two paces further down the line before he wonders, When I knock him over? Turning towards Koshka, he sees a broad smile spread on the massive wookiee's face. A ham sized hand reaches out, engulfing the front of Sovain's jumpsuit in a huge fist. With no visible effort, Sovain finds himself thrown through the air at the wookiee guard. Both Sovain and the guard go down in a heap of tangled limbs, bowling over several inmates in the proccess. Somewhere behind him, the sound of breaking glass can barely be heard over the sound of a deep roar that he can feel in his bones.

[Jedi Skyler]

Vin looks the forms over. "Quite probably," he replies. "At least, until I've fully recovered."

Vin steps to the side to complete the forms, then hands them back to the receptionist, and goes to the assigned waiting area.

[Stararmor]

Sovain is startled by this a little. When the opportunity arrives, he takes the guards bowcaster, and aims it at the guards. "Normally, I work good with guns, but never something like this, I could get used to it." Sovain gets that smile that should scare the galaxy.

[Wisconsin Wookie]

Not waiting for Dar, Caster hoists the mug with his right hand and takes a good size gulp before setting it back down. Then, fishing for a few credits from his pocket and setting them on the bar, Caster will take a quick glance down the bar to his left, sizing up the other patrons.

[Guardian_A]

"KG77, Please accompany Mr Darkmauler to Reception Area J once he has finished filling out his registration forms." The woman says. "Yes ma'am." The droid says as it half walks, half waddles around the reception desk to join Vin and John. Several minutes later, Vin finds himself entering an area filled with coughing, sneezing, drooling, oozing, and/or off colored individuals. As he looks around the room, one alien looks in his direction, one of its face tenticles twitching as orange ooze drips from their tips.

Scrambling for the Bowcaster, Sovain is able to get the weapon away from the guard and aims the awkward weapon at the guard. To his left, he sees Koshka charging through the prisoners towards another guard as the mess hall rapidly degenerates into a riot.

Looking down the bar, Caster sees a half drunk wookiee talking with a human spacer who can barely stay on his bar stool. Further down the bar, a red skinned Twi'lek woman gives him a smile and a wink.

[Jedi Skyler]

Vin follows the droid; as he looks about himself and sees all the sick beings clogging the corridors and waiting rooms, he opens himself to the Force, calling on it to strengthen his immune system and prevent any of the diseases present here to infect him.
