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.

Luckily, he knew how to cook most of what he brought back. The seeds were wildly unknown to him but he figured those with the Agriculture data would know what to do with them.
"Cayde wants to figure out how to make a dish of his from home. Figure other people will want to do the same." Cobb is pretty sure he can make a few dishes of his own. "Got anything here you want to make?"
no subject
At that question though Obi-Wan pauses and shakes his head a bit. “I’m not particularly attached to any one thing. Though it’s a shame we can’t bring back any Bantha, Nerfs, or Hawk Bats. The Glownies will have to do.” He has no idea what Glowny tastes like though as he hadn’t eaten one yet. Though he is getting the idea to bring some Hawk bat eggs and blue milk back. Maybe he can even program the replicator to make some.

The thought made him pause for a moment. "Another thing we should build back on Tembra is a smoker. Or a dryer. We make a lot of bantha jerky back home. Should do the same here."
Once they got back Cobb would definitely organize his thoughts a little better but he circled the thought in his head a few times to make sure he wouldn't forget it and then nodded to himself.
no subject
The thought of building their own smoker was a good one too. “I hope you know how to build such a thing because I admit I have no idea.” Though surely the concept can’t be too complicated. But now Cobb has gotten Obi-Wan’s wheels turning as well as to how they could better survive on Agra 10.

He chuckled and shook his head. "I know mines and oil refining. I don't have a clue about stuff like this. Just gonna have to ask other folks."
That was usually how it went around town. One person had the idea and if it was a good one the rest of the town would join in. Cobb just had to get the ball rolling.
no subject
"I'm certain we'll figure it out one way or another. Even if we have to re-invent a few things." Because like Cobb had already pointed out, most people in their group haven't had to rough it like this.
no subject
Any food was worth investigating.
"Can't be worse than black melons." Which Cobb actually had a taste for thanks to all those negotiations with Tuskens. "One thing you learn on Tatooine is how to make anything work with anything."
no subject
"As we will on Agra 10 as well. Though in some respects I think we have it better off." There was at least standing water around and plant life in abundance. Certainly more hospitable than the desert world with twin suns.
"Well, I thank you for helping me load all of this up, and for the card. I should probably see about buying that droid."
no subject
He got to his feet and nodded at the Jedi. "Not a problem. You need more help just ask. If I'm around I'll lend a hand."
Because Cobb didn't have much else to do on Coruscant. He had made the best of the situation as he could.
"Good luck." He gave the man a nod and then walked off to find whatever peace or trouble came him way next.
no subject
With that good feeling, Obi-Wan left the ship as well. Going on the hunt for that medical droid.
