Kri
Image [Kri and Ryg’gos head into the dining area that rings the dance floor. A handful of Nosaurian servers are setting the tables.]

“So first we need to find the right time to get into position.”


[The Bimm leans on a back wall, partially obscured by shadows. She scans the floor for a couple of minutes.]
Spoiler:
Kri; Hyperlight Echoes; Skulduggery:
0 Success, 2 Advantages

Image for Ryg’gos’s help and for the lights being up (since she’s looking for an opportune time to move into position.)

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
“Stang. There are too many of them. We need to find another way.”
Screenwipe to…

Nosaurian Server
Image [The server looks around, then back at Meshel, Ghaise, and Lalkan. Maybe he’s unsure whether to continue. But he does.]

”There’s another way to the droid pits. Upstairs through the casino. Just be careful. And know that most of us Nosaurians aren’t here because we want to be! Notice how most of us don’t have guns!”

[The server scurries back to the kitchens before you have a chance to respond.]
Screen wipe to…

Kittobuck
Image [As Targus storms off, Kittobuck snorts.]

“Ohwo aoraorwo wawooaahcahhowo raoaaoahoowh oorc whoo raoaaoahoowh. Rooohurc akanrawh ahc wwooooanahcac, Whahshoorc.”

[Targus is too far away to hear what he says.]
Nijor Pitor
Image “Look, I can try to keep Buck in check so he doesn’t ruin things for all of us. When you’re up there on stage, just keep an eye out for me at least. I can give you a signal if your performance is striking a chord with at least the councilors I’m able to identify.”
Granari
Image “If they’re in a good mood, they might be more open to suggestions that the ordinance needs to be reconsidered. Sure. I’ll signal you, too. Seems like a long shot. But it shouldn’t interfere with my own plans too much.”
Nijor Pitor
Image “Please… Let your bandmates know, Jessa. And good luck up there.”

[Nijor and Granari give the Twi’lek diva a final look and begin to get ready.]

Meshel Kevon
Image

“Well, if tha’ ain’t ominous.” Meshel mutters as the little Nosaurian scampers off. Checking a chrono he says to his two companions,”Not much time left ta do more than look at th’ doors. Mi’ well head back. People are gonna wonder else and it’s gonna be for not if we get kicked out.”

He sighs and rolls his neck to work out some of the tension he had building,” ‘ Sides I get th’ feelin’ we been pushin’our luck as is.”

Ryg'gos Rat'kras
Image Ryg’gos walks over to the servers. "Hey, I think I got turned around, is this VIP only or can the entertainment eat here too? I’m with the Echoes.... you guys fans? I can probably get you some autographs.”

Targus Jhonez
Image
He knew he should not have let the Wookiee get him angry and he needed to relax before their set. Stopping at the edge of the stage he boosted himself up on to it, sitting with his legs dangling, he pulled one of the last items Rufus had given him from its pouch on his belt. Putting the Endorian pan flute to his lips he concentrated on his training and played a gently flowing melody.

Nosaurian server
Image [As Ryg'gos spins his yarn, the servers pause for a moment to look at the Caamasi.]

“Yes, we are happy the Blueshift Echoes are here. Zannel or no Zannel, they are impressive.”
Nosaurian guard
Image [But Ryg’gos’s distraction has also caught some unwanted attention.
Spoiler:
ImageImage


“Hey, what's the big idea here?”

[He fakes like he’s going to punch one of the servers.]

“Get back to work!”

[They quickly get back to their duties. The guard turns to Ryg'gos.]

“C'mon, buddy! Haven't you got someplace to be besides all over my tail!”

Spoiler:
Another Nosaurian guard
Image [Ryg'gos doesn't feel all that threatened. But then two more guards show up.
Spoiler:
ImageImage

“Something the matter here?”
Kri
Image [Kri works fast amid the hubbub. She opens the sack and activates the camdroid. She directs it to begin rising up into its hiding spot.]
Spoiler:

Upgraded difficulty with a DP. Image for the distraction, Image for the lighting being up.

Kri; Hyperlight Echoes; Skulduggery:
4 Successes, 0 Advantage, 1 Despair,

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage


[Success! The camdroid is now in place. She looks to Ryg’gos to see if he needs help with the guards.]
Screenwipe to…

Kittobuck
Image [The big Wookiee stops what he's doing. He listens for a moment as Targus plays. Then he takes his floonorp and sits beside the Elom. He puts the instrument up to his lips.]
Spoiler:


[There’s a missed note here and there. The song’s not perfect.]

“Rooohuhowo rrooao cooscwoaoacahwhrr, orahwa. Acooakwo rooohu huwhwaworccaorawhwa ah shhucao ohrawhao aooo scraorwo churcwo aoacworcwoc ra wwhuaohurcwo wwoorc rooohu aooo hucwo aoacraao cooscwoaoacahwhrr.”

“You’ve got something, kid. Hope you understand I just want to make sure there’s a future for you to use it.”

Ryg'gos Rat'kras
Image Ryg’gos puts his hands up in the air. "I’m not trying to cause any trouble! I’m just trying to get something to eat before the show starts. Can’t really eat and do the show at the same time ya know. But if I’m in the way I’ll just go back to the stage... hungry.” He has a frown on his face, with a look of defeat on it. He looks down at his feet and tries to walk away. If anyone were to look, it would appear that he was a little kid that was told they couldn’t have a treat.

Nosaurian guard
Image [One of the guards yells after the servers.]

“Let Flash know the bands need food!”

[The server runs off toward the kitchen.]

“Best head back to the dressing rooms, buddy. We're supposed to feed you there.”
Kri
Image [Kri waits until the guards are out of earshot.]

“So, good news and bad news, Ryg'gos. Good news is the camdroid's in place. Bad news is I'm not sure how we're going to get it back down. I think the beams winged it on the way up. Seems it'll move up… just not down…”

Ghaise
Image
"ominouse indeed" Ghiase stares after the scampering waiter with a look of mild confusion.

"I can't help but think about how we were told that the flutterplume club isn't the safest place for non-humans, and now I see why. I hope I don't come to regret bringing you and the kids here."

"Someday Mesh, you'll learn that when there's only one game in town and you tell yourself that you don't have a choice, that sometimes it's better not to play," he then flashed a smile at the kid, "But we should be fine, we've got an Ancient One on our side after all."

Targus finishes his song and puts the flute away. "Thanks Bucky. Let's make tonight count." He says getting up, "I'd better get back to the dressing room, I've got a couple friends that need checking on."

Meshel Kevon
Image

Meshel snorts at Ghaise’s words and tries not to look embarrassed about the whole ancient ones thing.

"Well, unfortun’ly starvin’ on th’ street ain’t a grea’ altern’tive. " he counters,”S’times ya gotta do wha’ ya gotta do till a better choice comes callin’.”

Arriving at their dressing room he checks to see if they still have a third member trailing after them.

Everyone makes their way back to the dressing room. The Raging Rontos end up there, as well, since there's only one. Voron is missing, and Lalkan Kithaba is nowhere to be seen. Nosaurian servers bring in a veritable feast of food and drink for the bands. They call it a favor for Ryg'gos, who mentioned the groups would be hungry.
Spoiler:
Everyone back to full strain.
Raysel
Image [Raysel finds her adoptive father and hands him a sheet of flimsiplast.]

"I found this. Thought you'd want to see it…"

Spoiler:
Image
Meanwhile, there's no hiding BD-BD and Genius from the Rontos.

Kittobuck
Image [As Targus storms off, Kittobuck snorts.]

“Rooohu wwooanorc whwowowa aooo rhwo oararcwowwhuan. Warcooahwac rarcwo wwoowawaworc wwoorc rrrascwoc acworcwo.”

Spoiler:
"You folks need to be careful. Droids are fodder for games here."
Ellimelli Porpa
Image “More cheating, Ryg'gos? If it weren't for this feast, I'd report you to Flash right away. Let the Rontos headline. What's the big idea with all these droids?”

Ryg'gos Rat'kras
Image Ryg’gos looks at the droids and then at the Rontos. He puts his hands up and looks at Ellimelli. "Hey! I showed up late to the party so don’t look at me! I don’t care who headlines. I just want to get some good shots of the performance.”

Targus Jhonez
Image
Targus looks over at Bucky as he enters the dressing room and comments about the droids. "BD-BD and Genius are my droids, Bucky. We brought them not knowing about the pits, nor our host's dislike of droids. The droid tech for the fights is actually an old acquaintance of mine and let us hide them in here." Turning to BD-BD, "Any luck with Genius, BD?"

Meshel noting the absence of Lalkan mutters,” I gotta bad feelin’ ‘bout this. Ain’t we both short a member?”

Seeing Raysel hand Ghaise the note he takes a look over Ghaise’s shoulder it and sighs,”Well, guess tha’ explains one of ‘em.”

Spoiler:
"All better, Targus! It's been hard to keep him from wandering off."
Granari
Image [Granari looks to Meshel and Ghaise.]

“Wait, wasn't Lalkan with you two? I knew it was a mistake hiring him for this gig. What a nutjob.”

"Thank you BD," he says to the larger droid, looking at Genius he continues. "You need to behave or you'll get smacked in the nose." He finishes with the slight threat of shutting Genius down for the duration.

Ghaise
Image Ghaise crumbles up the note in frustration after hearing Meshal's words, "It explains nothing, except that Voron is being his same old unreliable self," the words had more bite to them than Ghaise has intended, but he was kicking himself for taking another chance on the man that had just abandoned them in a very precarious situation. Looking around at the group he counts just two adults now and a load of street kids that they were responsible for, and one of those adults wasn't too good at caring about anything other than herself.
Sometimes I really hate you zan, for leaving our family in this position.

[BD-BD's dome swivels to align his optic sensor with Jessa.]

"Bawooot bzzzrrrtt wheeewoo."

Spoiler:
"But I have seen Mistress Jessa providing vocational training to Mistress Krieli on several occasions. I am happy to help out with other such instructional services, although my programming is somewhat lacking in that domain."

Targus turns to Ghaise and explains what BD-BD had said about Voron and the two ladies of the group. Then looking back to BD-BD he continues. "Maybe we'll figure out how to add that to your programming at some point if that's what you'd really like?"

Ghaise
Image Ghaise breaks himself out of his pointless fuming when he hears Nijor's comment and when what he says sets in he starts to get worried, "He was right behind us, wasn't he, I thought he headed back here same time we did?"

Ghaise was concerned. It didn't matter that he wasn't a member of his band, he was a fellow performer, and on top of that, this didn't seem like the safest place for non-humans to be by themselves.

Welpu “Flash” Flashmouth
Image [There's a knock at the door.]

“It's time!"

[Sounds like it's Flash.]

“Whoever's opening needs to be ready in ten. Headliners, you've got about an hour."
Nijor Pitor
Image “Guess that's us, then. Break a leg out there!”
After a few more bites and swigs of their meal, the Rontos shuffle out of the dressing room. The Echoes are left to wonder: What happened to Lalkan? Will Buck make his dramatic speech to the club patrons? When is the best time to do a bit of droid hunting? Why the strange warning from the Nosaurian waitstaff? And most of all: Will the Blueshift Echoes sink or swim on their first public performance sans Zannel Redbeam?
