Wait, This Belongs In a Museum? [Day 1 MA. Expecting]

[The SCaT Droid]

"Well, there are a number of reasons for these. 1. They're given a task too complex for what they are capable of 2. They are given a task greatly different than what they are programmed for and 3. They come into situations where they have to choose which directives to follow."

[Nara Phln]

“Sometimes the best way to avoid panicking is heavy doses of antipsychotic medication.”
Nara nods firmly as though that was obvious before thanking the Bothan

“That’s great! Trauma clinics always tend to know where the best fighting is. And whole hordes of gonks? I hope there are some bounties. I live an expensive lifestyle, you wouldn’t believe the price on grenades these days.”

That would be the equivalent of turning off your brain and letting the control computer do your thinking for you right?"

[Nara Phln]

“Mmmhm. Not quite, did that once when I was getting way too into cybernetics. Did not end well. I’m just lucky that orphanage was abandoned.”
Rubbing her chin
“It’s kinda like running another subroutine that puts checks on your day to day decision making to make sure it’s all sensible.”

[The SCaT Droid]

"Ah, so like an restraining bolt for your thought process?"

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

Dhel sort of follows the conversation about subroutines and antipsychotics, in about the same way she'd follow one about how to do neurosurgery, by looking interested and nodding occasionally. Then laughing somewhat inappropriately.

"Huh, I could use a check to make sure my decisions are sensible sometimes. But, they've worked out ok so far, I guess? So those subroutine drugs maybe aren't necessary...but where would you find that kind of thing if you though maybe they'd be a good idea?" No sense ignoring possible information like that.

[Nara Phln]

"Ah, so like an restraining bolt for your thought process?"

“Yeah! Kinda like that but you want it to help you so you don’t need the restraining bolt. They can suck a bit sometimes with side effects.”

Brightly
“Absolutely! Live your best life but also sometimes check to see you’re not crazy. As for finding them I mean. You know, you could get them from a doctor which is boring. Or you can get them waaay cheaper from drug dealers. If you bring a gun sometimes you can get them for free!”

Dhel laughs, pretty sure that's a joke. "Ehh, I've never really needed a gun to convince folks to give me stuff. I guess I'll try that tried and true first...if I ever think that kind of thing'd be useful."

"So are you both in town for a bit? Seems like a lot of new faces dropped with the shuttle."

[The SCaT Droid]

"Affirmative, I have a special task I need to complete here."

[Nara Phln]

“Oh yeah. Folks with first and last names, and faces too. Probably all sorts of craziness about to go down.”
She points to the droid as if to demonstrate.

“I’m either on the trail of a conspiracy or I’m part of a conspiracy... or both. Hoping it’s both, could be really cool then. Probably gonna stick around for a while I think... unless it gets boring.”

Cocking her head
“But you’re a long time local?”

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

Cocking her head
“But you’re a long time local?”

Dhel nods. "Yeah, born here. So..no real conspiracies or plans on my end. I mean...I've got these performance plans. But nothing big enough to up and jump to another planet for them. Hope you both see yours through without too much trouble, hey?"

[The SCaT Droid]

"Too much trouble? Sounds hard to judge when most people look at you and think 'contraband' until they bother talking to you."

[Nara Phln]

"I didn't think that upon seeing you! People are so cruel...I mean 'target practice' yes. But that's what battle droids were built for."
Nara smiles in what she thinks is a reassuring way at the droid.

Back to Dhelih
"You should absolutely show me around some time, all the local secrets that you don't tell tourists so that one nice restaurant isn't ruined by folks with fanny packs."

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

Dhel shrugs. "I just know my idea of trouble is probably way different than yours, so...hopefully without whatever you thinks too much? Like..." she laughs a bit at Nara's joke. Probably a joke? "not being target practice?"

She snorts at the the next bit. "Not like we really get a lot of tourists, or we'd have better museums. But I guess I can show you the good places to eat if you're buying lunch." It's not really a question, though her expression...eyebrow raised, head slightly tilted, seems to wait for an answer.

“Mmmmhm. Well that would actually be pretty fun! The last person I bought lunch for was a mark and it all went terribly. 4 guys in hospital all because he was a vegan.”

“Mmmmhm. Well that would actually be pretty fun! The last person I bought lunch for was a mark and it all went terribly. 4 guys in hospital all because he was a vegan.”

There's a moment of quizzical silence before Dhel brightens. "Well...not a vegan! Also never put anyone in the hospital! And you're the tourist, so I'm sorry, but you're the mark this go around." Brushing her hair back with a cheery grin and slight jangle from her ear decor, she adds, "I mean, that mostly means I'm pointing you at the drinks with the most alcohol in them so the owner's happy and hires me later, even though I quit a month back...for good reasons."

“Not even one person in hospital? You some kind of pacifist?”
clapping her on the shoulder
“That’s okay, nobody’s perfect. I’m good to be a mark I reckon, good reason to go out day drinking. That way I’ve got good reasons for drinking for drinking and you got good reasons for leaving those jobs.”

"Pacifist's aren't good at fighting, I'd imagine, so...close enough?" Dhel keeps smiling. "See you folks around town and at the Cave and so on then, ok?" She offers a nod, and enough pause to catch her if anyone needed to say more, before moving on to find more folks who didn't look local for pamphleteering.

[The SCaT Droid]

"Well, I guess I'll go ahead and find something else to do. Maybe go hunting around for some scrap metal before that thing I need to do later."

[Nara Phln]

"And I'll go do...uh. I dunno, something unusual for comedic purposes. Nice meeting you both though!"
With a wave of her hand Nara traipses off as well
