I didn't do what you think I done did, because I didn't done do it.

[Nej Tane]

Now:​

​

The street was nice. A little soft rain made all the nice pink and blue lights really pop. Nej liked the view.

He would've liked it a lot better if he wasn't, however, dangling from a chair while the whos-who of who couldn't pass school were gathered around him and a very, very mad Zeltron man.

"YOU NEARLY BLEW MY CLUB HALF TO PIECES, INJURED SOME OF MY MOST IMPORTANT CLIENTS, YOU SHOT FOUR-"

"Five." Nej corrected him.

"FIVE OF MY MY GUARDS. AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME NOT ONLY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU, BUT INSTEAD, I SHOULD LET YOU GO." The scary Zeltron man, happened to be the owner of the establishment- a seedy bar and gambling den called the Neon Phantom. Or was it Phantasm? Fantastic? He was a little....beat up to remember. Concussed was the better term.

"Okay look. It wasn't totally my fault. It was partially my fault. But I'm not just at fault here. You're the one who started- at least, your guys anyways."

The Zeltron man stared at Nej, obviously indulging him to continue.

"WELL..." Nej began.

Two hours ago...​

​

​

Nej sauntered into the club, adjusting the red leather jacket that shielded his body from the rain. Coat check. Yeah right.

Like they couldn't check out his coat from here.

Nej had a certain walk. A scoundrel's walk. A thief's walk. But everyone knew that he was a bad mother walking into the place. Or that he had a war injury. Depending upon who you asked. He thought he was cool. That's all that mattered. Say what you wanted about Nej, but the man could steal like nobody's business.

Purses.

Eyepatches (just once).

Wigs.

Sunglasses.

Wallets.

Small trinkets.

Spaceship keys.

Cybernetic limbs.

Anything, really.

And that's what he was here to do tonight. A lot of these places only kept half of their winnings, profits and money on the books, digital credits were easy for authorities to track. The stuff on the tables? Not so much. Nej took a stroll to the bar first, though. No need to commit crimes completely sober. After all, liquid courage was the best kind of courage.

Zeltros was an interesting place to say the least, probably one of the best planetary defenses in the galaxy, drugs booze and sexy people, bot women and men. Not grand alliance, empire or oppressive invasion could ever take over this planet, not unless they wanted any troops stationed on the ground to become addicted to something, or someone and lose any real combat value. Still it was not the best strategy, Zeltros did not really have much of an economy outside of bars, restaurants clubs and entertainment venues, everything was imported, food, building materials and so forth.

No that it really mattered tonight, for this evening Elise was here as an actual patron at the bar, dressing in a stylish black dress the off duty doctor approached the entrance of the night club. Approaching from the other direction was seemingly another would be customer of the bar she had scoped out, leather jacket and eye patch of some sort, probably a vetern spacer looking to waste the nigh away at the down street bar. In layman terms, your average Zeltros goer number 12, if that was indeed his actual look, though it was not of any importance to Elise.

Now:​

​

The Zeltron rubbed his eyes.

"You don't remember this part?"

He stared at Nej.

"Kind of."

He shrugged while tied to the chair.

Then:​

​

Nej rocked on his heels, sauntering up to the bar. There was a few at the bar, cute black dress there, Zeltrons about- tourists of an alien nature. Some wanted a piece of Nej. Some didn't (most didn't). Nej ran a hand through his hair, walking up to the bartender. He casually laced his hands around a Zeltron's pockets, finding a few credit chits.

"One Corellian whiskey."

He got his drink, and he turned on the bar.

And then he got punched in the mouth. Nej didn't have a chance to think, or finish his drink, before the shockboxer in him buttoned up, and hit the pink-skinned person who happened to punch him.

Nej broke the Silver Jedi Ranger's nose with one quick swing. Hit him just the right way.

Now:​

"You punched a member of the Silver Jedi Rangers...in the face. After he mistakenly hit you."

Nej tapped his foot and waved his head around a little bit, contemplating.

"It sounds a lot worse than what you say it is, when you put it like that. Makes me seem like a bad guy. Why would I say bad things about Jedi? Everyone knows they're stupid already."

"You shot five people with a disruptor pistol."

"Would a blaster be better?"

"You caused at least eight hundred thousand credits worth of damage and liabilities. I probably won't be able to open the club after this."

"Could spin this as good marketing."

"I should kill you."

"Oh so, now we can shoot people?"

Then:​

​

Nej reeled back, keeping his hands up. He was bum rushed by the Ranger's friends, some of who tended to their friend, and then some- who tackled Nej. Nej was swinging wildly, trying to get the big dummies off of him, shouting obscenities in every language that he knew. A bottle flew into the bar, and then hit the collection behind the bar- breaking the shelf...

And knocking thousands upon thousands of credits worth of bottles to the floor. The 'top shelf' stuff become the 'broken on the floor' stuff.

But that wasn't directly Nej's fault. He just ducked under the bottle.

What was he supposed to do? Let it hit him?

[Elise Ike]

Now
Elise picked small bits of, well something out fro her hair, the woman's black dressed torn and stained with drinks and probably some blood, herself having clearly been in a scrap of some sort, though not bearing any scars. An apathetic sigh escaping her lips, a night more or less ruined due to some stupid punch up, all started by a Jedi ranger or what not. Still if one where to look at her face they would note a small smile, Elise actually glad to be apart of something different for a change, bar fights where never really high on her to do list.

Getting a broken piece of glass from her long brown hair the woman's eye would dart over to the man as he sat arguing with the bar owner or something, the same one that entered the complex at the same time she did. "Hee hee... what are the odd"? a rhetorical question, but one possibly answerable if she knew the population of the city.

Then
Before Elise could take a sip of her glass she was suddenly bumped in the back, reeling forwards into some Twi'lek, splashing her drink against him, something she could have avoided but was trying to act normal. Unfortunately that did not prove wise, said Twi'lek coming around with a fist, this time Elise dodging to the side said Twi'leks fist hitting a falling bottle at the top shelf instead shattering glass and drink all over several other customers.

".... fuck". Things just went from semi decent to a huge screw up in the matter of a few second, the course for said screw up yet to be determined by Elise, herself quickly jumping over the counter as all hell broke lose.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

Can't even have night out and get a little peace and quiet.

Already things were happening, Leilani knew that those of her kind would love a good fight. She lifted her drink and watched. Let's see what happens..maybe she'd join maybe she just point a finger and say, it was them.

Either way..what happened on Zeltros......often got off Zeltros.

[Nej Tane]

Now:​

"WELL WHY ISN'T SHE TIED TO A CHAIR AND BEING THREATENED WITH MURDER?"

"She didn't start it, kid."

"I'm a man! A big, strong man!"

The Zeltron sighed, and waved his hand. Hoping for a reason not to shoot Nej.

Or a way that he could pay for the damages.

Then:​

​

​

Highly flammable alcohol spilled all over the bar, and barfight in full swing, Nej throwing rangers, Rangers punching him, mostly them punching him. But Nej had an edge. He was a cheater.

That's why he smashed the Ranger in the face with a cocktail glass, and hit another in the you-know-where with a chair. Say what you wanted about Rangers, they didn't fight dirty. Nej felt victorious, throwing up his arms in victory for a moment- only to be violently thrown over the bar. The same guy, one of the bouncers, climbed over the bar, and pulled out a stunstick, whacking Nej a few times.

Nej took that time to take the holdout blaster from his boot, and shoot him in the shoulder.

He hit him, alright. But Nej forgot one thing- blasters went through people.

The blaster shot ignited all the very flammable liquids behind the bar- that, at this point, leaked all over the bar area. Nej scurried off, dropping his jacket as the bar went mostly up in flames.

Now
Elise turned towards the Zeltron that was harassing the other guy, a flat glare coming from her eyes, "perhaps if your method of subjugating fighting guest was to not beat the chit out of them with stun stick this would not have happened". Like seriously it was a more isolated experience, but coming up and waking someone with a stun stick that would only bring back an even stronger response.

Then
Peaking out from her hidden point at the bar (to keep up the act) Elise kept an eye on the man as he started to resort to 'interesting' tactic in order to get away from the Rangers. Why they kept up the fight with the boxer was beyond her mind, though it was probably due to the squad being drunk or something, so careless of them.

It did not take long for the guy to be thrown over the counter, soon being hit down by a bouncer, something she could see, but the other man couldn't. His mind probably feeling the 'getting attacked by weapon attack with weapon back'. That was a bad idea, in a slip second the entire place going up in flames, herself getting caught in the blast, her dress quickly catching on fire in the whole mess, "oh come oh, what the hell sort of bar allows this type of chit to happen", she more or less yelled, diving over the bar once more into the current slug fest going on.

Oh my goodness. Leilani took another sip her eyes getting big when the fire started it was a comedy of errors and for the moment she was content to watch. Was she ever so brazen, silly or adventurous.

Zeltrons were such an odd lot at times it was hard for her realize that she really was one. Watching all her race dress in neon colors, drinking till their companions fell over, or in this case were tied to a chair.

She smiled, lifted her glass...and watched

 

[Althea Becket]

Bright… neon lights.

That was the first thing Althea Becket noticed about Zeltros. She’d set her ship, the Stargazer, down in the spaceport to refuel, determined not to get caught up in the lively atmosphere of the Inner Rim world. But, the lure of seeing Zeltros for herself was just too much.

A country bumpkin like Althea was more than out of place here, but people seemed nice enough. Well, not really. Her appearance had attracted some attention; her tattered clothes were a bit of an eyesore. With hands stuffed into the pockets of her trousers, she looked wide-eyed at the bustling city before her.

“Oh my stars,” She whispered, still quite amazed to be here.

She’d never seen anything like it, in fact. There were some dazzling holo-displays, flashing signs for various night clubs, and a crowd of people with pink-hued skin. Everything here was fancy. Pausing in the middle of the sidewalk, Thea glanced over her shoulder, back in the direction of her ship – her home.

“Perhaps I ought to just go back…” She said aloud.

But before she could even make up her mind, a large man came crashing into her. Falling into a pile of rubbish and knocking over a couple of trash bins, Thea lay sprawled on the crowd. Groaning, she sat up, looking from her curbside spot to the club across the street. The lights called, the music beckoned… Momentarily transfixed, she picked herself up off the ground, dusted herself off and picked a wrapper or two from her hair. Reality came crashing down again, looking at her clothing, she doubted very much that they’d even let her inside.

Maybe this was the best she could do.
