In the hole

Voss-some seedy cheap bar

A bar the thief smuggler and criminal type hung around for cheap drinks and easy women...except for one who was in the corner bottles all around her...she smells like alcohol.. The cheap kind

She was asleep in the booth...not many even bothered or noticed her..the bartender took pity and just let her sleep and kept giving drinks when she asked...even when she had a lil to much

She had it all before...a ship...friends...ships she commanded for a army...now she was reduced to simple meager earning...

Vax'ildan

Dagger, Dagger, Dagger.
Vax'ildan wasn't particularly, supposed to be in bars, but he often sneaked in. Not to grab drinks, but to pickpocket the drunken losers, down on their luck. And adding luck to Vax's purse. If he didn't take their money, they might drink themselves to death, so Vax saw this as a win-win situation.

He snuck in again this night, needing some spare credits. You could never have enough. Sticking to the shadows, he could perceive that not many of the people here were really drowning in liquor, except one woman. Asleep, bottles all around her, and as he crept closer she smelled. Nothing he hadn't already smelled before, but damn. He was confident in his sleight of hand, and she was asleep. this was going to be no problem. Reaching over, he attempted to snatch a few credits off of her.

Eights slunk into the pub and nearly collapsed at the bar, unfazed by all the edgy looks he was getting from other customers. A droid, in a bar? What could he even do there? Eights wasn't there for drinks. He dropped a few credits on the bar wordlessly, but the bartender knew what a droid wanted here. He came back with a platter of haze-chips, pockets of code that, when installed in his port, released a temporary virus causing intoxication and slight euphoria.

Eights sighed in relief. It had been a long day, no, a long week, of stressful negotiations, and he needed a break.

Suddenly, Eights saw a shady looking character at the side of the bar. He was creeping up on a woman passed out drunk, sneaking a hand into her wallet. It might have been the haze chips that triggered it, but Eights's damaged decision-making cortex sparked, then went wildly haywire. Eights pushed himself up from his stool with a passion, wrists buzzing with electricity.

"Stop, thief! You step away from that woman and drop those credits before I hit you with 750 volts of pain."

Vax's head whipped around to the droid that suddenly stood up. "Oh Kark.." He was in the shadows, practically invisible to organic eyes, but the droid had seen him. "Alright, alright.." He took his hands away from her, and let the credits in his hand clatter to the floor. He kept his hands down by his side, one credit chip tucked away that he managed to keep. He wasn't going to put his hands in the air. It's not like it was a cop.

Saki bolted up when the telling started and seemed to saying something unintelligible words"NO I don't hav-"she telled before going silent and looking around. She looked like she'd be a beauty if she didn't smell and look a lil dirty

Whauh...hey..don't be taking me stuf ya knoooow"she said as she looked down and picked the creidts up putting them back In before seeming to shake her head and slump back reaching for a half full bottle to drink before sighing ...

She was wasted and was surprisingly even coherent at the moment.. She stood and stumbled lightly "thanks horis I'll pay like usual" she said and stumbled on out before face planting with a groan

Eights felt a positive feedback surge as his cortex rewarded him for doing the right thing. The cold spot behind the thief's hand was clearly a credit that he had palmed, but it wasn't the day for little battles. He could let the thieves have their fun. Instead, his worries turned to the drunkard who had exited the bar.

Usually he wouldn't concern himself with the like, but she was defenseless in a city of criminals. Her intoxicated state left her practically begging to be taken advantage of. With his risk/reward calculator thrown wildly off, he followed behind the drunken woman into the streets without any regard for his own safety. He wasn't surprised when she collapsed face first on the ground.

Eights knelt beside her on his doubled-back leg joints.

"Miss, it isn't safe for you to walk home alone in your condition in a city like this. My name is NG-888. Would you allow me to escort you through these ruffians?"

Saki groaned as she heard metal foot steps coming to her as she looked up to @NG-888 "Eights" as she shakily got up and stumbled again

Engi?...suuuurw I jut don have enough to pay"she said as she turned and hurled...thankfully away as she wiped her mouth"I..I think it just not to far..."she said referring to her apartment

If Eights could grimace, he would at the conduct of the drunken woman. As sense began to return, he wondered what the kark he was doing on these dangerous streets. If he could go back, he would, but by this time he was too committed. He couldn't leave this woman defenseless on the road.

Eights hooked an arm under her armpit and hiked her to her feet, steadying her swaying body. It seemed that he'd have to half carry her back to her apartment. Thank Constructor it wasn't far.

"No payment necessary, miss. I'll just see you back to your apartment to make sure you're safe. It is simply an act of decency."

Eights hoped she'd be noble when she sobered up a bit and cough up a few credits. He didn't want to wander these streets without payment.
 
The two walked back to her apartment as she slowly gained at least a little sense...enough to tell him her address which was a shabby place but decent at least

She managed to fumble with her keycard and finally got it opened, for a person in a mess the place was actually quite clean

She stumbled and fell into the coach groaning "ayy ya thank engi..." She seemed to pass out again before wakikg and bolting up"huh oh..home

Dagger, Dagger, Dagger.
Vax just stood there as the drunken woman stumbled out and faceplanted. Before he could do anything, the robot got up to help her, and they left. Vax was left staring at a bar full of patrons. All of which he had stolen from. They didn't know, but if they connected the dots that money had gone missing and here was a thief.. That wasn't going to be good. "I'll, just get going....." He quickly stepped out of the bar. at least he got a little something from that.
 
Eights stared at the passed out woman on the couch. Just one more seedy aspect of this seedy apartment, dirty and in disarray. This woman needed to get her life together. Oh well, he wasn't here to judge. Eights turned to leave the apartment, then paused. It was very dark. And very dangerous. And the streets were full of crooks who had just gotten out of bars. Being on the street suddenly didn't seem like a great idea to Eights.

Eights turned back to the sleeping woman.

"Hey, uh, mind if I stay here the night? Don't really want to risk the streets right now."

No response. She snored gently.

Eights took that as a yes. He crept into a corner and gently shut down. He'd deal with... whatever this was in the morning.
