Another day of university studies, another day of work. Unfortunately, Chandelle had failed to complete all her homework for tomorrow, so she reluctantly was going to have to spend her downtime at the Average Bar reading up on things she found boring and unproductive to her precious brain space. She felt like an old model computer struggling to handle the more modern files that just kept getting larger and larger.
The barkeep jangled her keys to the backdoor in sync with the clink of her dogtags clapping against each other with each step towards the cantina, striding past the typical squad of spaced-out losers doing spice next to the dumpsters. She could never fathom why someone would be desperate enough to do something that they would subject themselves to such odors, and she shook her head with disdain as she unlocked the door and stepped up to the raised threshold.
The redhead had hardly shut the door behind her before she was greeted by her cigarra-wielding boss. "How's Chenni's Cantina?" he probed abruptly.
Chandelle blinked. "Wha-?"
"Yeah. I heard you were hangin' at Chenni's 'cross the street last night. From a reliable source." He bent his eyes towards his cigarra and tapped a finger against it to let some loose chars flutter to the floor.
The bartender put her hands to her hips. "And what was your reliable source doing there?" She rolled her eyes. "I may work for you, but just 'cause Chenni's your competition doesn't mean I can't go chill with some friends when they wanna meet there."
"Maybe. And maybe today I take a bigger chunk out of your tip earnings." He stuck the cigarra into his mouth and chewed on it thoughtfully, looking up at the ceiling. "I know you been pocketing somethin' extra on the side last week."
Chandelle scooted on past the burly, hairless man and heaved her backpack into her locker. "Yeah, yeah. You're so above board here. They oughtta make you a saint down the road at the church." She pulled her white tank top down to just above her navel and punched in for work.
"Gettin' a little tired of your attitude, 'Delle."
"I know, but who ya going to replace me with?" She clipped her keys to a belt loop and pushed open the door to the barroom.
"Someone who didn't join a damn hot shot squadron, that's fer sure." He thrust his smoker hand her way with a judgmental jab, fingers still curled around the half-cooked cigarra.
"Yeah, you're prolly right." And with that, the ginger barkeep closed the door behind her and established her usual position on top of the bar counter, sitting with her back against the far wall and stretching her legs across lengthwise. She procured her datapad and began mindlessly scrolling through digital textbooks and waiting for her first patrons to arrive.
