“Intriguing. But once the footage gets out, won't it be obvious we violated Gozer's anti-droid policy? Sounds like releasing the vids will burn our bridges with him.”

"Potentially, but not necessarily the case. We each make two vids, one for wide spread distribution. That one would be the vids filmed by hand, on the ground. The other vid would include the extra footage for use only with potential gigs. The fans won’t see the ‘special’ vids but could be used to showcase the bands’ talents to potential gigs. That way we can limit the risk to ourselves. If word did get back to Gozer he could see it in one of two ways, that we violated the anti-droid policy or a rival club snuck it in here to film the show.”

"Oh come on now. It’s not like you would be doing the editing alone, I’m just asking for your help editing my videos. Besides I’m the one taking the biggest risk here for BOTH of our benefit. You can’t exactly expect something for nothing now can you?”

“But half the City Council's supposed to be here tonight! I've kind of got a thing going… with one of the councilmen. Still early days. But I thought maybe if I sweet-talked him a bit… It'll just be harder if we headline."

“The ordinance? Bucky and Nijor think we might be able to do something about that—the furry guy and the pale guy. I'm not so sure. I'm thinking if the Rontos take top billing it's more money for the band, but it's a longer set. Less time to sweet-talk the councilman. Just looking out for myself. You can understand that."
[Again, Kittobuck and Nijor are obviously overhearing this.]

“Ah, come on fellas. One o’ my mates’ known Hazz a long time.” Meshel cajoles the two,”Had a good talk with him on the way here too.”
Being nice when it comes to street stuff just isn’t Meshel’s thing. With the clock ticking in his mind his body language shifts more to an aggressive stance. Suggesting he’s trying nice, but is considering not nice.
“We ain’ the type ta snitch if ya let us go have a chat ya?”

"I don't know which way the other are leaning, but I'm on the fence." Targus says to the two band members. "While it would be completely awesome to headline, I can't help but be a little apprehensive about doing so. What if I screw it up like I almost did before?"

"Well....OBVIOUSLY...... the Rontos should open so you can have more time to sweet-talk the councilman! You can do us ALL (all aliens) a favor by easing those restrictions. Happy to contribute! You let me know how it goes, yes?"
Jessa (again) is taking great pride in putting down her competition while elevating the Echoes to prominence. The way she sees it, she can make the most credits, increase her influence, and possibly ease the anti-alien ordinance all at the same time! I don't suspect there are drawbacks to headlining other than the longer set.

[The big Wookiee perks up at Jessa's proclamation. He trains his intense stare onto Targus.]
“Garooo rrrrlll. Rwwwooowwwrr! Grrwwwwwllorrsh.”

Nijor Pitor

“He says you're good. Good enough to headline. But Bucky's a big-gesture kinda guy. He thinks the top band should take a stand tonight about the anti-alien musician ordinance.”

“Rrrrffff gwwwwwrrlllll!”

Nijor Pitor

“What better time? Later! When everyone's good and liquored up, having a good time!”
|
Granari

[Granari looks at Jessa, brow furrowed, as her bandmates get animated.]
“I'm not all that convinced we can do much about the ordinance at all.."
[She takes a step back, bringing the five remaining musicians into a single conversaion.]
“What Bucky has planned, though? That could get us all put in jail."
|
Nijor Pitor
|
[The Wookiee seems poised to respond, but Nijor holds up a hand.]
“We might as well let 'em know, Buck. Look, you seem like decent folks. Zannel was an upstanding guy until he wasn't. But if the Rontos headline, Bucky plans to make a scene. Maybe even refuse to go on. Or maybe he's gonna call out the Town Council for their cowardice. From the stage. I mean, this place is going to be full of every vice you can think of. Why d'ya think there are no cams allowed past the dance floor?”

Kittobuck

“Ssssnnnnnrrlll grrrntrrrnor snurrrfff orfff!”

Granari

“I'd rather use the time to enjoy myself. I can have a good time with a Town Councilman! If we open, we can take advantage of the fact that we're the only aliens here. Have a drink, dance, do some gambling!"
[She realizes how selfish this all sounds.]
"But if we want to do something about the ordinance, we do it later in the night. Play it cool. Wait till everyone's happy, bopping their heads to the Echoes. Then we work our charms in the crowd."
|
Nijor Pitor
|
[Nijor frowns at Targus and Jessa.]
“You see the dilemma. Which approach would be more effective: A grand gesture? or subtle nothings in the councilor's ears? Were you planning to take any action against the ordinance? Or did you have other goals for the evening?”

when Meshal and his fellow Klantoonian didn't seem to be able to get past the two Nosaurians, Ghaise figured he would have to act fast. we need to get through to the droid pits, but we can't let anyone on to the fact that we're looking for a doid, got to be careful or it could be the end for us. Looking at the two Ghaise puts up his hands defensively, "I'm sorry boys, we just got done with our audition and were looking for a bit of fun. Like my friend says we were told about the droid battle pits and thought we would check them out before the show, but if you got to keep things quiet I understand and respect your prudence. With the pro-empire sentiment and rising xenophobia here it's going to just get harder and harder to find places like this and our fates are all tied to Mr. Gozer's establishment.” He extends a hand to them as if to give them a shake of camaraderie, "I look forward to working with you guys, and hope that you could help us find somthing to pass the time until our set."

"What I mean is that they are expecting several councilmen here tonight, and if both bands play well, maybe they will realize that their ban on non-human bands was a knee-jerk reaction to things. I'm not anti-human, but they do not play music any better than anybody else. Each species has its great musicians and I hope that after tonight the councilmen will get that."

"Don’t worry, I’ll hold up my end. Just don’t look up during the performances." He gives Ellimelli a wink before heading back to the bar where Kri is.
”Kri, it’s time. You know the spot so I’ll let you hand it. I owe you big time!” Ryg’gos flashed her a smile before giving a wave and heading back towards the stage to hear what was going on. He wondered how much he had missed while talking with Ellimelli.

[You put a safe distance between yourself and those guns. A few Nosaurian servers skitter out of the kitchen behind you and get to work setting the dining tables. One of them waits until you're nearby.]

“It's true. Things are bad. But maybe… There may be something to what Targus says. I mean, if the Echoes can impress the town councilors during their set, the Rontos can do the sweet-talking.

Targus stiffens a little at Kittobuck's question. "Bucky, yours is not the only species that the Empire has enslaved. They use mine to work the mines of my homeworld. My father died getting my Mother and I to freedom and luckily Ruffus took a shine to us, and taught me that not all humans are bad." Standing as tall as he can in front of the towering Wookiee, he continues. "So while I myself might not have been enslaved, my people are. But what I do know is both you and I are free now, so let's use that freedom to mean something, instead of moping around and getting bantha-faced." Targus sneers the last words and walks away.
