Planet: Tatooine
Location: Mos Eisley
The streets were as busy as they always had been. The twin suns of Tatooine were especially unforgiving today though Matthias was used to it. Having grown up on a moisture farm on the other side of the planet, he was accustomed to the harsh heat and cruel desert sands that covered the hostile world. Then again most people here were used to it, after all it was the way life had always been. Even now thousands of years removed from the Old Republic Tatooine remained the same desert of outlaws and outsiders. Perhaps that's why Matthias would always have a love for his home.
He was here on business however; pleasure was rarely something he got to experience, though he didn't particularly want it either. No today was business as usual, trading a piece of valuable loot for credits. Of course the buyers never knew he was actually a sith and active jedi hunter. No to them he was just another shady individual who didn't mind seeking out dangerous prizes in exchange for wealth. Bounty hunting and junk trading were professions Matthias saw as perfect covers for his true, more nefarious purposes.
Today it was a kyber crystal, in fact, he was trading. He hadn't met the individual who hired him though he was told the kyber crystal was just a means to an end for them as well, since they planned on selling it to a third party. The buyer and mysterious third party were of no concern to Matthias. To him it was a simple task: get the crystal and get paid. Of course things rarely go the way they are planned.
Matthias walked through the busy streets with a determined bounce to his step. He was eager to get paid and get off world, as the twisted sensation within his mind was beginning to stir with an unknown anticipation. "Must find..." the first voice, a soft spoken childlike tone, finally spoke up. As it spoke Matthias gripped his hand but continued his trek forward and through the crowd. "... find them..." a second, older female voice, chimed in. Whenever the voices spoke it was like a spine-tingling pain, but Matthias had learned to take that pain and turn it into a motivator and source of power. It was why, despite that pain, he was loyal to these mysterious voices. He may not know what they are or if they truly are real, he had of course questioned his own sanity at times, but they had steered him right so far.
As he walked through the streets, still a ways from his destination, he pondered what the voices could be describing. Who was he meant to find? The buyer, perhaps? Or someone else not expected. Regardless he continued on, wondering further if this job would be just another day or turn into something else.
OOC: Treating this as Matthias’ first canon story with an open ended prompt that can invite either a potential ally or potential rival/foe. Or maybe something unexpected he never saw coming? Who knows, anyone is welcome to join Matthias as he takes his first steps into a larger world!
