Indeed, the firespice veg pod lives up to its name! Helios behavior may indeed have a lingering effect. The crowd laughs. Some point. Some are dismayed that they lost credits thinking you'd refuse to eat one. Others wait to see if there is a further results (i.e. puking one's guts out).

Kettel downs a firespice pod and grimaces slightly. He utters out "Not bad." as his forehead sweats and he turns slightly pink in the face. Onlookers exchange credits at the result as they murmur among themselves, somewhat dissatisfied at the lack of a reaction.

"Guess it's my turn, then," Vesper shrugs. She pops the pepper into her mouth and swallows without chewing.

Hahaha! 2 advantage = she knows how to treat whatever medical issues happen to her and can mitigate them with a Medicine check?

Vesper boldy wolf's down an entire firespice pod, which gathers a few "oo's" and "ah's" from the crowd for her boldness (2 Adv: +1 Boost on social interactions within here today).

However, it does not go well with her stomach. She sweats profusely and turns a shade of red, followed by a shade of green. Vesper then empties the contents of he stomach into the pub's floor!!!! (Despair!)

Hello continues to hoop and Hillary while simultaneously laughing at vesper. His tirade continues until the burning subsides.

A waitress gives Vesper a jug of water. More credits exchange hands in the crowd. It's been a profitable night for some. Hell appears to have behaved a bit over-dramatic and the calm, cool, veteran crowd does not appreciate it (2 Threats: +1 Setback die to social interactions within here today).

The bouncers back off and the waitresses return to their duties. A bit later, a diminutive Ugnaught comes out with a small mop and bucket to clean the vomit.

The industrious Ugnaught yields little. It almost seems an insult for you to deny him the duty of fulfilling his obligations. They are known to be stubborn in that way.



"You're not the first one to lose their lunch over a firespice pod!"

"Hi! I'm Wes Hemmer! New to these parts, are you?"
says a dashing, young human man to Vesper. Seems to have an angle, either romantic or for profit, perhaps.

"Well, I hope the rest of the food on this rock is better," Vesper says, managing a wan smile. "I'm Vesper. This is Hell. What brings you to these parts?"

"Brings me? Why, I reside here in Boda City. Well, you haven't been to Pepper's Pax before, I can tell. And if you haven't been HERE then you haven't been in in this city long. What are you here for? Personal or business?"

Helios sees that Vesper is making progress and decides to take a seat at the table waiting to see what happens. He keeps an ear out on the crowd hoping to overhear something of use.

"Bit of both," Vesper says with a shrug. "Looking for someone who thinks we owe him money. You heard of a guy named Ty Janus?"

"Guess you don't know him, then," Vesper says. "Human guy." She describes him as she remembers him from their previous meeting.

"Oh........ exclaims the cantina patron as he listens to your description. "The surly, one-eyed guy. Yeah, he's pretty particular about who he talks to. You SURE you want to talk to him???"

At your insistance, Hemmer takes you over to a shady corner of the cantina where a one-eyed man in body armor sits alone. He probably hasn't shaven in 3-4 dqys. A local form of grav-ball plays on a nearby holoscreen and a patron at the bar watches. On the table is a half- filled plasteel cup that looks like its been sitting therefore hours. In addition, some hand-rolled cigarra residue remains.

"Beat it loser." he tells the helpful patron. He scans us up and down slowly,taking assessment of every detail. "Yeah, you just going to stand there wasting my time??"
(Oddly enough, it seems like he has nothing but time.)

What your not even going to offer us a drink? Are you sure this is the guy Jarious told us about? Hell says as he slides into the booth taking a seat.

This man seems uncomfortable with Hell's actions, as if no one had ever done that when he flashed his tough-guy imagery. "I'm afraid that you've mistaken me for the generous kind! That's not how this works, you see. It starts with you passing me credits, about 50 of them, and then we talk. That's the price for my time."

Helios pulls fifty credits from his pocket and sets them on his side of the table.

Big words. I have fifty credits here, if you arn't waiting our time you may have them. If you waist our time... Hell lets the sentence hang seemily distracted by a waitress walking past.

Waitress a round of drinks four our group over here.

His (good) eye looks over to the pile of credits. He seems disinterested in the potential drink.

The nearest waitress seems unsure of how to react. She looks at Ty Janus as if waiting for approval. (He has half a drink already.)

Janus looks to the waitress and lifts a hand off the table as if to pause things. He looks back to Hell, Vesper, and Kettel...keenly observing their mannerisms and gear (2 succ, 2 adv).

"I see that you are paying customers and I can see that you are looking for something particular. What is it you are looking for?"

Vesper returns the man's stoic stare. "Guy we know named Jairius Tye told us you're the man in the know about things that may have been lost. Like, say... Rebel starships?"
