This entire exchange is hilarious, but the last two sent me.


Subject: The Salky Raiders, Big and Bold

"Not unless you can get my card back." Manny sighed. "But no. It's okay. I don't really need it."

He paused a moment, and then smiled optimistically. "Do you think she liked me?"

"No kid, no she didn't," Carid shakes his head and laughs.

"...an odd request, but I can perhaps provide...Mister?" Jyrvess inclined her head slightly. As Raven and the Phroth spoke of hunts, she tensed a little...memories of days spent cleaning sand out of her equipment coming back.

Her attention was on the speech for much of it...she had a few concerns. "Pardon me a moment." She smiles to the small group she was standing near, "I will be right back."

Slipping over to Mara, she waited for the woman's attention.

Clearly we need to put Jyr in more life-and-death situations involving big fauna!

“Hey, you’re supposed to have a better excuse than that to get out of a social commitment. Believe me, I’ve spent ages practicing.”
Peering down at the pamphlet
“Oh wait, I’ve got other engagements at that time today. Oh man, I’d ditch them to hear you but I’m kinda hoping they’ll lead to a firefight.”
Nara looked bitterly disappointed
“But I’ll go tomorrow if you’re on again. Should I get some hard currency for tipping? I have this trick where I use an under slung grenade launcher to fire credits onto the stage of an act is good.”

I have the mental image of grenade-launching credits as Solua's dancing and Dhel's singing and the totally not a Jedi dancer just casually deflecting credits into the tip bucket while catching one as it bounces up from the floor.

"Oh! So Dr. Effex, then?!" Dhel sits back, pleased to settle that, then frowns in puzzlement. "What sort of disease does a radio station cure? Not that one wouldn't be useful here..."

Dr. Effex is acceptable. 250% more acceptable than Dr. Pointy. Beep! A radio station will help to treat a large number of diseases. 87% of ailments on Bellionas are currently aggravated by clinical depression, which this unit has determined is being perpetuated by governmental policies. The radio station may help correct some of the isolation felt by this unit's patients. The potential benefits outweigh the current risks by a ratio of 1:5.

*makes notes to call the droid Dr. Pointy*

Subject: A little song and dance [ME, The Cave]

"Haha... hey, careful." Manny let her pat at him a bit, but angled his left hip, with the concealed blaster, away from her. "Usually if I'm patting someone like that, it's because I'm planting cards on them. Or eggs." Or lifting stuff from them, of course.

A pretty girl on each arm... Manny tilted his head, considering. One thing that he found helped make him decisions in situations like this was to think of the pros and cons...

In his mind, a tiny Manny wearing a shiny vest appeared on his left shoulder "Bro. Two girls. And they're both pretty! You gotta say yes!" Manny (the real one) pursed his lips considering...

A tiny imaginary Manny wearing a really shiny vest appeared on his right shoulder. There was a short pause. "Yeah, I got nothing. Go for it, bro!" Both tiny Mannys gave him a thumbs-up.

"Alright!" Manny grinned. "Let's do it! What kind of place is Sinclair's, anyway? Do they serve wings there?"

This entire scene has been very entertaining with Dhel, Sholua, and Manny, but this post was just excellent. Or should I say egg-sellent.

[Raven Cadera]

This entire scene was very nice to follow. Thank you <3

Despite FX-12's lack of official programming related to computer functions, it was and is and remains a droid, so it chose to put its circuits to work.


Unfortunately, programming is a really big deal for a droid.

This unit is up fecal matter waterway without a manual propulsion device. FX-12 beeped. Its programming limitations are too grave to be or real assistance to the organics. BOOP-boop.

Highlighted the quote. I am dying.

[Meiyokashi]

I love Manny.

new phone who dis?

oh hey Jarvis sorry my phone was upside down. I was all like hey who's sivraj?

yeah totally! Should I bring anyone by? I've got some new friends and some old ones!

[Raven Cadera]

Subject: Old Friends [D3EE, The Cave]

Jryvess remained surprisingly cool at the sudden interruption. With a deadpan look she responds, "I'm a Librarian. Mr. Donos is four months late on returning." She whips out her datapad and randomly taps a few buttons. "Baby Bantha's First Primer on the Basic Alphabet. Which is a serious crime to be sure. Other children are in need of the book."

1) I want that book

2) Manny is the gift that keeps on giving in this thread

3) Everyone else in that scene is just making Manny's life harder without him realising it yet

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

There's quite a bit of hilarious back and forth and thought bubbles here. But...I kind of want this super villain as an NPC now?

"Ummm, I feel like family is cheating. But if it isn't my parents for like, my entire life. We go way back. But for romance and stuff?"
Her brow furrows slightly
"There was a Zabrak arms smuggler I really hit it off with when I first left home. She had a really great-"
Nara turns her hands face up and mimes cupping
"-collection of grenades. And a killer rack too. But she was also funny, she'd get so exasperated sometimes and then her accent would get really thick and I'd start laughing and then she'd get mad and the accent would get worse and I'd have to apologise and go clean the ship to show I meant it."
Snorting loudly
"It was super hard to understand though! Not my fault at all. Think we did a couple years together before she wanted to settle down and I kinda..didn't."
There's a slight wince

"Ummm. Then after that there was this nerdy human. Now normally I don't go human, because they're basic as stars. But this guy was an amazing chemist and super sweet. Met him at an arms deal....now I think about it that's usually how I pick people up. Makes sense though, everyone there has similar interests. He was selling this knockout gas and he just-"
Nara starting laughing louder and louder
"-He just said 'but you're the real knockout' in front of everyone! Oh it was the worst line, like, actually. And he was so nervous so he kinda stuttered it. Guy had no game."
Laughter subsiding, mostly
"So after that I just had to take him out to dinner and yeah, he was kinda cool. Not much good at the physical stuff but I think I showed him a few pointers. That one was just a real passionate fling, was still getting my last partner out of my system. Think he's gone of to become a super villain now? I still get cards sometimes."

[Raven Cadera]

I'm really enjoying this scene. The reveal, and the importance that comes with it, it feels like a very major point in the character's story.

[Manny Donos]

Searching through the apartment, Manny and Raven aren't able to find anything else of use in their investigation. However, Manny in particular noticed a similar obsession with the Manka Cats. Seemed he had a fellow fan, about a day ago.

[This will come up again later.]

With Manny on the line, as he noticed a few things in the Ithorians room, Jyrvess and Manny could theoretically work together through a list of possible passcodes. (You can call Manny and have him on a communicator for this)
Knowledge: Education vs Hard, 1 Setback [Modified Roll: Education vs Average, 1 Setback, 1 Upgrade to Difficulty and 1 Upgrade to Player]

This is possibly my favorite use of advantage/triumph ever.

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

hmm...how many other locations got stealth edits in the interim? XD

The wreck now has: "Wild Nara are known to make dens in the wreckage, please check with Nara Phln for specifics of arrival here. Some creatures may still lurk."

I'm going to nominate this sequence of Mandalorian mom-punching as awesome, starting here:

Awww I'm still Varina's best friend. <3

Subject: (D5 LA) Repurposing Mother's Stuff

"I have friends," Varina said. "What makes you think I don't have friends? I came with my best one to help her out here." She resettled the duffle bag and continued walking. "Best way I can do that is if I have better tools for it."

[Meiyokashi]

I really enjoyed the craft in this, hits just right,

Nothing could take as much damage as the first inquisitor did and keep running, if that was her, which means..

"She's a stars-damned cyborg! That woman can really take some hits. I'm angry, but I'm also mature enough to be impressed."

Subject: [D7 LM] Short and sweet (Manka Cat Rules)

Good thing the chair is sturdy as Dhel shrieks and leaps up half a foot in the air and backwards to crash into the chair, landing all askew, fur bristled out and eyes like saucers.

"That's...You're..." She cringes back in the seat. 'Didn't forget." Scrabbling over the arm of the chair, she crouches behind its questionable protection. "Thought you were all gone, though."

Dhel giving me real cat reactions

[Raven Cadera]

Subject: Imperial Mixer [Day 8, LE, Event]

Phroth brought out the gruff demeanor of Tranq Sayzin, lethal bounty hunter, to help infiltrate the mixer. He felt uncomfortable in the formal wear, surrounded by Imperials. The urge to snack on a sycophant was strong.

Over the course of the party, he found himself conversing with a young enlisted being, a grunt really. They got to talking about longe range hunting and effectiveness of weapons.

While he didn't particularly think he was well suited, Phroth did what he could for the resistance.

Believe me, we've all been there during social events!
