Oh man, he's down for it? Tommy is excited. He's going to totally get this together, let Beady have a fashion show of his own. And then Cal's back and Tommy's looking him up and down, smiling.

"Looking hot, Caliente."

[out_of_order]

Cal grins at the approval, and even BD-1 gives a little hop and a beep at that. "Think you can help me find a jacket or something to go with?" he asks Tommy. All he's got is a poncho, and while it serves its purpose, it's also on the bulky side.

[doubled_speed]

A jacket, huh? Tommy grins and nods. Time to find something nice.

"Light or heavy? With that, I'm thinking a nice gray or black. Which would also go with about anything else.

[out_of_order]

"Heavy, I think, if not something in between." It's hard to shake a mindset for having something more durable, not to mention colors that wouldn't have him stand out too much. Cal nods at Tommy's suggestions, laughing as BD-1 decides he wants to help look too.

[doubled_speed]

"Good," Tommy grins. He's going to find something, and moves on to find other racks.

"After this, find a place to get Beady a polish and paint job. He likes the idea. Droids should be pampered too."

[out_of_order]

"Hey, good call. Haven't had much chance to do anything for him since that oil bath. Speaking of which, we can probably find a place for that here as well, BeeDee. Maybe that'll help clear out any glitter we missed," Cal grins.

As Tommy goes to peruse other racks, Cal goes to get his things from the changing room. Probably wouldn't hurt to find a better rucksack or something, but he supposes they'll have to find another shop for that.

[doubled_speed]

Oil bath? Tommy's intrigued, but he doesn't know what that is about. All he cares about really is taking care of his friends.

He finally selects a few coats and offers them out. "Here, man."

[out_of_order]

Cal glances at Tommy then. "Basically what it's called. It's a bath of heated oil for droids to soak in. Helps clean them off and clear the gunk out of their servos and joints. Pretty sure there are places that specialize in droid care around here. We'll have to look into it for BeeDee."

BD-1 trills excitedly at that. Droid spa!

When Tommy holds out some coats, Cal sets his things to the side, taking the first to slip into. He tugs it into place, moving his arms to see how flexible the material is before he slips it off to try the next.

[doubled_speed]

"So like a hot mud soak," Tommy offered with a grin. "Man, I want a spa day now."

Jealous.

"You think there's a place that will do droids AND people?"

But then he's looking at Cal in the coat, circling, tugging at it. Yeah, looks like a fit.

[out_of_order]

"Who knows? I mean, it could be possible. Something for people to do while they're waiting for their droids to get cleaned up. Or maybe the other way around?" Cal laughs.

He's liking the fit of the next jacket, grinning as Tommy helps ensure it's sitting in the right place. "This one feels all right," he says with a nod. "I'm liking how it looks. You?"

[doubled_speed]

That sounds pretty great, doesn't it? Come on, Caliente. Help him out here, they could have fun.

"If it feels right, then that is what matters. But it looks good with the blue, and your hair looks great."

[out_of_order]

He's trying to be helpful! Coruscant's got plenty of interesting denizens so he wouldn't be surprised if such a place existed. "We'll hit up a public terminal and check out the listings," he promises.

Cal smiles lopsidedly, raking a hand through his hair. "You've been a lot of help though. I'll go get these paid for, and then we can go look up some places."

[doubled_speed]

“Listings, man. New York could use those, rather easily.”

But he’s smiling. He likes helping. He takes a few minutes to grab more stuff for himself before moving to follow Cal.

“I can run things back to where we’re staying. I got a room, what about you?”

[out_of_order]

"I do- I think we should all be in the same wing." Having Tommy take his poncho and things would be easier than carrying it around with him, even once Cal bought a new bag. And at least it would leave more space for other things.

"If you don't mind," he says, once he's sure he's got everything he needs still with him.

[doubled_speed]

Tommy takes some time on his purchases and then holds his hands out to Cal.

“Don’t go too far away from here,” he insists, before rushing off. It takes a few minutes to get back. He was always delayed by doors and things like that. But when he was back he looked very content.

“Explore time?”

[out_of_order]

Having no real inclination to wander off either way, Cal and BD-1 in the meantime locate the closest public terminal to see about pulling up places of interest. The little droid accesses it with his scomp-link, and Cal watches as lines of Aurebesh scroll alongside a map detailing things on the local city tower-block they're currently on.

"Explore time," he says, even before he glances over at Tommy once he senses the speedster's return. "There's an area nearby that seems dedicated to droid-related businesses. We'll have to catch a ride across and a level down though."

[doubled_speed]

Damn Jedi and their ability to be snuck up on. Tommy did not appreciate that most of the time. And there just kept being more of them. Rude.

“Really? A ride?” Tommy asks, wincing. “Any chance there’s a path I could run, to meet you there?”

He still wasn’t a fan of flying. Ever.

[out_of_order]

Cal taps through screens for a larger map, shaking his head before he looks at the speedster apologetically. "Not really. The way the city's laid out, you can have levels upon levels and there'd still be some distinct separation between each 'tower' of them unless they were built together to include walkways. I think it gets a little more convoluted the lower you go."

He points towards the nearby taxi landing pad. "We won't have to go far. It'll just take us across from there to that section over there."

[doubled_speed]

Tommy looks a bit distressed at that but he finally quashes it down. He can do this.

“Then we’ll go. Come on.”

Don’t question it. He’ll be shaking too much if he gets called on it.

[out_of_order]

It would have been stranger if Cal hadn't recalled back when he'd had to Force-lift Tommy to keep him from attacking that one time. He nods, starting towards the landing pad after picking BD-1 up.

"It's just a quick ride," he says again in reassurance. He waves at the droid managing the taxi landings. "Just to the next platform over," he informs it, fishing out a few credits to cover for them. They're pointed over to one of the idling hover vehicles then, also manned by a droid.

[doubled_speed]

That was a lot. Tommy sighed and nodded, moving with Cayde. He clearly didn’t like any of this.

“Better be fast. I hate going slow.”

Better than admitting he hated not being in control.

[out_of_order]

"Well, look at it this way, we just have to go in a straight line," Cal points out. He greets the droid at the taxi, hopping in and waving Tommy to sit.

Honestly there was no help for anything going fast enough for Tommy's standards, but once they're set to go and the destination given, the ride is a smooth one, dipping down as the vehicle leaves the platform, suspended by repulsors as it glides across the gaping distance that allows for a glimpse of the seemingly endless lower levels that make up sectors and subsectors of the city, practically an entirely different world in themselves.

[doubled_speed]

Straight line doesn't make it better, Cal! Yeah, it's a nice, easy flight, but he doesn't trust the tech. He looks quite distressed by all of this.

But soon they are landing and he's okay, so he'd claim. He's shaking. Gotta get his feet on the ground.

"Hate this planet."

[out_of_order]

How Tommy survived on the ships, he'd never know.

Cal hops out, looking back at Tommy as the other disembarks. "Coruscant is one of the most populated and busiest. I don't think there are any other planets that have practically turned into an entire city."

[doubled_speed]

Oh, it was NOT an easy thing. Usually he had Wanda to help keep him mentally stable. Or he'd visit other ships to just move around. WHatever he could do to distract himself.

It was never good.

"Can't be good for the planet, all this shit."
