Cobb's Event Catch All | Open
WHO: Cobb Vanth & All
WHERE: Various locations across Coruscant.
WHAT: Adventures across the planet
WHEN: Event
WARNINGS: Cussing. Angst. Possible violence. Will update as necessary.
This was not how Cobb imagined his first time off Tatooine. Then again, with his history, maybe he should have expected his first trip in space and to a Core world would be against his will. These Agrii fellas needed to learn to ask for permission. He would've said yes if they had asked. Instead, there was a little bubble of resentment brewing towards their alien captors.
But that anger could wait. A lot of people here had no idea how to navigate any planet in the galaxy much less one like Coruscant. Stars, even Cobb was a little out of his element but at least he could read the writing and understand how things worked in general. The first thing he focused on was getting everyone else settled and comfortable to go around by themselves. It was a lot of explaining how credit worked and offering to help if anyone needed it.
It took a few days before Cobb disappeared on his own one morning. The credits provided by the Agrii and the few he had on him when he got taken were burning a hole in his pocket. He went to the market and found himself some pieces of durasteel armor and a padded armor suit to wear underneath. It was, without a doubt, the nicest thing Cobb had ever owned, gleaming a brass-gold color against the black padded suit and soft green cloak he also bought to hide the scars that peeked out from the suit.
Damn if he didn't feel guilty for the two-thousand credits he handed over to buy it.
He just couldn't help but think of all the necessary things he could buy for home or this group of people at that cost. Two thousand credits would never got that far on Tatooine where everything was so damn expensive but it could've done something good. But after putting it all on he looked like he belonged on a Core world instead of an outsider in ragged clothes. Clothes he kept because they were still good enough for home and no one wasted anything on Tatooine. The armor though... wearing it he felt... like someone important and wasn't that a heavy thing?
Not only did the armor protect him and help him blend in, now he could get into better bars and taverns where they played high stakes sabacc. Cobb had learned his numbers playing the card game and was damn good at it. Good enough to win games against rich fools who tossed credits around like they could be dug up from the sand. That real vindictive part of himself really enjoyed it.
And everything he won now went to what they'd need to survive and anyone else who needed a few spare credits.
After all, he could always win more.

He sipped his drink as he considered for a moment. "Well, sure, a little rundown place isn't the end of the world to me. Living rough certainly isn't. But there's a lot of basics missin' in places that I've never had to fix up before. Other folks have done that."
Cobb could hammer a nail or rewire a door control but set up running water? Nope. That was beyond him.

"After all, the Agri gave us unlimited credit, right? Why not get some manuals on how to do the harder stuff, and the supplies to do it that'll fit on the ships? I wager 'tween the bunch of us we've got enough brains to figure it out. ... 'Course, that does depend on which of those basics you mentioned are missin'."

He shrugged. "Not a bad idea but I'm pretty new to the place. You'd do better askin' the others what it's like living there long term. I've just been on the ship mostly."
Which would change once he got back to Tembra. He hadn't really settled in before they got taken here. He was comfortable now to do whatever he felt was needed.

Everything Cobb had bought so far fit in a nice little corner. Everything neat and orderly just like he'd been taught to do growing up in the commune.
"You should be fine unless you try to bring back a starship."

"Well, here's to shipmates." She clinked her glass against his. "I promise you I won't make a spread of it. Who else is on board? I woke up and everyone had already bailed out to explore."
