Wookiee Teras Kasi Master [D4LE]

[The SCaT Droid]

"Not even trying with the dubbing are they?"

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

Dhel nods, eyes wide at the impressive (to her) suplex, lacking any and all battle experience to see the ridiculousness of it all. "Kind thought he'd punch out another skeleton though."

After scooping aside the empty bowl, Dhel Curls up with her head on Manny's lap to ask. "So is this one part of a series or anything?"

[Manny Donos]

Manny rested his arm on her. "Oh yeah, totally. They're all good!"

A bloodied Rawrbacca slumped in the seat of the escape pod. Behind him, Hissface's ship exploded. His family was avenged.

He pulled out the knife, studying it for long moments.

"RAWRRRRRRRRRRR!" Roaring his emotions, which were probably varied and complex, Rawrbacca raised the knife above him, shaking it again and again.

THE END

The credits began to roll.

[Tyllia Demici]

"I really don't know what I was expecting," she said after a moment of no doubt awkward silence.

[Sholua Tempes]

"It gets funnier every time I see it!"

She downed the last of her 'green'.

"Pity the sequels were nowhere near as good."

[Manny Donos]

"Yeah, wasn't it awesome?" Manny said, grinning. "It totally does get better every time, and I've seen it at least twenty times by now.

The credits ended...

The burning wreckage of Hissface's ship sat on a rocky bit of island on a lava planet. A hatch in the top opened, and Hissface, badly burned, half climed out. He shook his fist at the sky.

"I'll get you yet, Rawrbacca! I'll get you yet! Hissssssshahahahahahahahissssshaha!"

The screen went dark.

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

"Wasn't really sure what to expect," Dhel says with a laugh. "But it was fun." She's not sure she'd want to see it 20 times though.

The post credits scene catches her by surprise. "Aww. he lives? Guess that's why there was no skeleton punch for him. Needed to keep him alive for the sequel."

[The SCaT Droid]

"Gotta have an emotional connection for the 19 sequels."

[Dhelih Dotaivi]

"19! Wow. Yeah, I can't see how they could keep them as good dragging it out that long." Dhel starts to sit up, forgetting Manny's arm lying along her shoulder, then redirecting the motion into just shifting position a bit, looking up at him to ask. "OK, so how'd you run into this many people to invite, when you've been here like...3 days?"

She points a bit unsteadily at Phroth, "Pretty sure he lives here, cause you mentioned a shark boyfriend, but..." Vaguely gesturing at the rest and the doorway beyond, 'ever'body else and ladies who just left as soon as they saw the company."

[Manny Donos]

"Yeah, uh..." Manny scratched his head awkwardly. "I mean, the more the merrier, right? That's what I figured. So I invited the people that lived here, and a few other people I knew, and also there's a droid."

The concerned frown returned. "Raven's... well, I can see where she might want to avoid a group of people that she doesn't already know. That's kinda a thing. I probably should have thought of that. I just wanted everyone to have a good time, y'know?"

[Tyllia Demici]

"Nineteen of these? That's just... that's uh... is that like a tax write-off thing or something?"

Had to be. She couldn't imagine that these movies would make enough bank to warrant *nineteen* of them. Oh well. Whatever. Maybe they were sponsored by the Kashykk Tourism Bureau or something. Beautiful Kashykk, we probably won't skeleton punch you.

She wasn't sure what to think. Of the movie. Or anything else going on for that matter.

"I was just invited as a fellow magician," she said with a shrug.

[The SCaT Droid]

"I saw the banner and some of these folks I've had amicable convesations with."

[Sholua Tempes]

"Not one of the next nineteen is even a patch on this one."

She reached across to deposit her empty cup on a flat surface.

"Who was the girl that made it as far as the entrance and then left as fast as she came?"

[Manny Donos]

"Uh..." Manny scratched his head, "there was another girl?" He considered a moment. "Uh... older, younger, or medium?"

[Sholua Tempes]

"Didn't get that good a look as she was there and gone so fast. Youngish I think."

She narrowed her eyes.

"How many women could it be . . . . neh?"

[Tyllia Demici]

"I got to admit," she said, looking at Sholua, "It does seem to be part of a pattern. Although at least my interests here aren't really aligned along those lines."

[Manny Donos]

"Oh, probably Varina, then." Manny nodded. "Nah, she's like my kid sister. Except I never had a kid sister." He frowned. "I mean, not so far as I know. Who knows, maybe I do?"

He shook his head. "Also, I'd like to think that if I did have a kid sister, she wouldn't be so..." Manny's lips moved for a few moments. "Well, if you talked to her, you'd understand."

[The SCaT Droid]

"Punkish? I talked to her while shifting through the rubble at that old building with all the metal support beams. Strange how no one has salvaged those yet."

[Sholua Tempes]

"Like a sister . . . "

This seemed to be acceptable to the Mirialan. She resumed plotting against the poster in the cockpit. That square of printed paper was going to . . . suffer.

[Tyllia Demici]

That woman's focus was something alright; though she couldn't fathom why she'd focus it *there*.

"Hey, I meant to ask," she said, looking toward Sholua again, "before the movie started, you dropped into like... some sort of stance... you know? Like you were ready to fight like that wookie, only not like that but different. What was that?"

Tyllia knew what that had been, of course. But now that the evening had progressed to this point she thought... might as well press that button.
