Vheh'yaim. Of Sorts [D1. Early Night. Abandoned Alley]

(You know if you're supposed to be here :D )

Tenzing's directions had been good. And it seemed like the location wouldn't be too bad either. It was at the quieter end of Restaurant Alley, where a series of abandoned buildings and closed businesses clumped together like a little blacked out zone. Raven suspected there were probably the occassional squatter in one of them, as was often the case in such places. All things considered, this wouldn't be the worst place she had holed up for the night or a couple of days. It didn't smell like garbage, and there weren't rats the size of astromech droids around here either. Hopefully.

All the other members of the group, including Jyrvess, had been notified of the temporary safehouse. If they were going to work with the Resistance, it wouldn't do good to stay out in the wilderness, as moving back and forth too much would probably catch unwanted attention.

She finished a preliminary sweep of the empty building, determining there were no one else there, and it seemed pretty abandoned, with no traces of recent occupation either. There were a couple of rooms that had probably been bedrooms, a refresher (that still seemed to be working), a large kitchen area, a room she assumed had been a lounge of some sort, and the front-room that was probably the dining room used by customers. Whatever had been served here once upon a time, she couldn't figure out, maybe she'd ask Tenzing about that.

Roof over their heads in a secure location for now. It would have to do. And there would be warm food at least as she had picked up some take-away along the way, as it made her stand out less passing through Restaurant Alley.

It was a day, she supposed. After rushing out to their destination, she expected a day of fighting and evening out the score to only have another objective given to her. It kind of took the wind from her sails slightly. No matter, the mission hadn't changed, there were just more things to do around here.

Soleene was a bit surprised by their accommodations, especially having spent a few hours in the Lower City. She half-expected that they were going to weld a few sheets of metal with some appliances to make their home, make a place with scraps. They were in another part of the city so things were better, slightly. She would stroll right in and give a few impressed nods at the place. "Not bad at all. If we can get a Hutt Ball broadcast here, I'm sure some people would never leave this place."

"Mhm, one of the Resistance-members who knows the city helped me with finding this. If... if we're going to also work with the Resistance, we need a decent location to move about easily within the area. It also seems sheltered enough, without being in the more problematic areas that are likely to experience Imperial sweeps or crackdowns."

Raven finished checking the boarding at the store-front's windows, making sure that they had enough space to look out without giving away their presence too easily.

"... There is food in the backroom, if you're hungry, sister. Don't know if it's any good though." Even through the helmet, she sounded weary as well, yet also tense.

Soleene gave a glance at the backroom and nodded in appreciation walking past the entryway.

"Funny thing, I was thinking that we needed to keep a low profile around the city considering some people are making a big deal of Mandalorians being in the city, even another Mandalorian from the Toboga! Maybe we've done enough rattling cages today without even trying. Or maybe the locals are wary whenever they see another helmet around here. They're not sunshine and sun flares, that's for sure." She let out a sigh.

"They are?" she sounded surprised, and her head turned so the visor faced in Soleene's direction. "... Could be because of the Raiders. Or the fact that some other people also seem to be... I dunno, emulating our style, if that makes sense? Walking around in armor and helmet. Will always be people claiming to be Mandalorians to get the cred and prestige that comes with it... saw it myself in Hutt space when I was younger."

Her own stomach let out a low but hungry growl as she thought about the food.

"Toboga? Can't say I've met any of that clan in... well, ever, I think? At least that I know. I've heard of them, but they're a small one."

"I did bring up a bit about potential military surplus from the Clone Wars," she gave a shrug of her shoulders. "There seem to be a dozen reasons the locals are walking around in armour all day, despite this nasty heat. They're afraid of getting robbed. It is likely the Raiders then. They seem to have set up quite a reputation and I even got somewhat of a local welcome, even."

Soleene didn't seem to show much of budge at the sound of Raven's stomach. Maybe she didn't hear it.

"They must be somewhat good, at least. He's interested in pitching into what's going on here but also entirely out of the loop as to what we're doing here. Just wandered in after an adventure of his own, actually," she gave a few nods of her head, seemingly looking amused by that idea.

Varina, like her usual self, stalked over into the building. She already had her knife and pistol drawn. Just in case, that sort of thing. When she recognized the voices, she put away the blaster and began toying with the other weapon. "Good find," she said. "I was going to ruck it somewhere else if necessary."

Then she stopped flicking the blade around and looked at the two with a slight frown. "Did you find anything else in the meantime?"

"Varina, good to see you." She was wondering how the younger Mandalorian had been holding up while they've been out and about. "There is food in the back if you're hungry."

Directions were given to her as well, before Raven answered her questions. "Yes, but it will wait until we're all gathered. Then people can get some rest." Raven was already ready to offer taking the first shift of watch, feeling she had responsibility to do so with Varina, Soleene, and Clay.

Clay looks around the place Raven notified about.

"Well, it's not the nicest place I've slept in. Hutts could keep teams up in some pretty swanky places. But, its definitely not sleeping in a sleeping bag on the room of a garage at a dive race with no door either." He says to no one in particular. He drops his stuff on the ground where he intense to sleep, and starts making it more comfortable grabbing a few abandoned items near by.

Soleene gave a few nods to both Varina and Claymore when they entered the safehouse. It was good to see both of them in good shape. For more than one reason admittedly, she would have been a bit irked if she missed out on something interesting. She gave a shake her head regarding Varina's question but it seemed Raven was successful with her day?

"It seems we have a lot of odds and ends for this resistance party. They're looking to be as subtle as possible, at least."

"Food, huh?" Varina headed on over, hoping for a plentiful bounty for the duration of her stay. She peeked at the fridge and then the cupboards which were likely to have a better shelf life.

"Sublet huh? Not something we are known for... But, we can adapt." He says while looking something to use as a pillow. Helmet is staying on tonight he thinks.

"No...but we're supposed to be around in case things go south. I'm happy to see how far they take it and I've already said my bit on that can only last for so long until the Imperials get wind of it. They haven't run things this long by being completely blind."

She shrugged. "Maybe we'll never be needed, I'm fine with that. We already have plenty of things to do, right?"

With that, she turned her gaze toward Raven.

"Yes."

As they were all settled in, she found a spot on a nearby wall to lean against, arms crossing over her chestplate as she began to speak.

"Firstly is locating the Raiders. Secondly is that we might have a corresponding goal in the same location; I've been spending the last year searching for a hidden storehouse that is supposed to contain beskar and Mandalorian armaments. Our contact Julo, mentioned a possible location for the Raiders... it so happens to be in the same direction as the coordinates I have found." She seemed to be frowning, judging by her tone. "This makes it likely that the Raiders can have already found and put to use the goods, which makes things more challenging for a confrontation."

Raven placed her datapad on the table in the middle, showing the informantion on the location.

"Maybe they're still looking," she said as a hopeful possibility, although not entirely sure about that herself. "But a crater would make for a very good place to dig in either way."

"We can hope."

Her shoulders rose and sank in a silent sigh. "I also checked out the abandoned press that the resistance will be using. Place doesn't boast much defense from what I can see, but I recommend everyone taking a trip over there at some point to familiarize ourselves with not only its layout to use to our advantage if we will fight there, but also to know the various routes to and from."

Someone's busy...

Soleene went quiet for a moment, looking at Raven in thought. She didn't work alongside before so she didn't know if this was always how she operated when it comes to the mission or if she was just trying to keep busy. In a short span of time, she had gone through a lot.

"Are you doing all right, Raven? It's been a long day."

"So, are we going to this crater tomorrow or do you want to prepare more then?" Varina rocked back on her feet, overflowing with energy. However, it seemed like she was willing to defer to Raven on the matter.

"... I've been better, but I've also been worse, Soleene." She gave an appriciative nod to her sister. "I'll be fine." Raven reminded herself that things could be worse, and she had been through worse.

At Varina's question, she took a moment to considerate the situation. "It depends... how well equipped is everyone for it? Gear for maneuvering a crater... an approach under the cover of dark might be something to consider too." Looking to the others, she awaited to hear how well the others could handle such challenges.

"I don't know where else I'd get more gear than this crater," Varina admitted. She turned out her pockets and remembered the credit chit she'd looted. "I don't know how much money is in this thing but it's about all I have. Otherwise..."

The vagabond dug through her pack, revealing a crash survival kit still packed to the brim with goodies along with scanner goggles, spare clothes and toiletries, a fancy wilderness knife, and extra pistols. "Haven't collected too much since Kamda, to be honest."
