Party at the Blue Bantha!

[hadthehighground]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: The Blue Bantha in Coruscant's entertainment district
WHAT: A party!
WHEN: The last day before they leave.
WARNINGS: Fun times? Probably drunkenness.

After having found this place on an outing with Echo, Obi-Wan had decided he rather liked this one particular establishment they stopped at. So for their last evening on Coruscant, the Jedi had the place rented out. A network post also going up inviting everyone for one last hurrah before they have to go back to Temba.

Welcome to the Blue Bantha Bar and Grill!

Everything is very blue. A bright blue neon sign advertises the joint in the entertainment district. Its letters in Aurebesh with a little bantha head shaped neon light next to it as well. The lighting inside is distinctly blue as well. There is a mounted bantha head placed on the far wall above the bar, its fur having been dyed blue. Clearly it is the mascot of this place.

There are tables and booths in varying locations for people to sit. With the tables having bantha hide rugs under them that look reminiscent of shag carpet, while the booth seats have bantha hide upholstery as well. There's a band playing in one corner with space for people to dance. While on another side there are screens broadcasting sporting events from across the galaxy. Feel free to place bets on who you think will win!

Even the staff are either blue, or are wearing blue. It won't be uncommon to have a blue scantily clad Twi'lek waitress serving you. The long bar also has blue neon lighting with several stools to sit at, in which you can order whatever drink your heart desires on their menu.

Speaking of the menu, everything is made with bantha products. That is what they specialize in. Several types of Jawa Juice, a kind of beer made from fermented grains mashed in bantha hides, can be found here. As well as Bantha Blood Fizz, a sparkling drink made from purified bantha blood in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties. And of course they serve several drinks featuring blue milk, from just the plain stuff to several alcoholic concoctions. There is also food of course! Bantha steak, bantha burgers, bantha stew, and other meat dishes are served as it's pretty much this galaxy's equivalent of beef. You can even get desserts made from blue milk such as cheesecake and ice cream.

Have fun! The Temba group have this establishment all to themselves for the night!

After conversing with Din for awhile Cobb got up to get them both fresh drinks sauntering up to the bar with a pleased look. He was in a damn good mood right now.

"Hey kiddo!" Cobb leaned against the bar next to Grogu while the bartender got him another round. "Been wonderin' where you went off to. Looks like you've been havin' a good time."

Which was what this night was all about, of course.

"Gotcha somethin' like I did for your dad." Cobb pulled a red woven handkerchief from his pocket and held it out to him. He had taken the time to carefully stitch Grogu's name in Aurebesh on a corner. "Ezra told me there's winter on Tembra, figured you might like somethin' to keep you warm."

[the_child]

He sure had been! And, hey, he could tell when adults needed or wanted a little privacy without him lurking around.

He looked up curiously at Cobb. Got him something? Really? His eyes widened when he saw the handkerchief. Oohhh! He reached out one hand to gently touch the stitching. His name? Did Din tell him?

[heypartner]

Din. Echo. Obi-Wan. A few people had mentioned the kid's name to him. He had thought it was a nice personal touch. Cobb wasn't skilled enough with a needle and thread to do the Mandalorian symbol or the Jedi one. A name? Yeah, he could do that in a few days.

"Yeah, it's all yours." Cobb smiled at Grogu as he investigated the stitching. "I'd offer to tie it on but I think you'll get bantha all over it. Could tuck it in to that belt you've got there."

He nodded at the robes the kid wore. A lot like Obi-Wans. He looked like a proper Jedi now.

[the_child]

Oh. Yeah. He didn't want to make it messy... though he was being very careful not to get his new robes messy! He was actually usually a pretty neat eater (when his food wasn't trying to kill him).

He nods, pushing his robes back to reveal said belt. Halp?

[heypartner]

"You can wear it like mine next time. I'll teach your dad how to tie it." Din probably knew how already but hey, never hurt to have a reason to be around this family. Cobb liked them both.

He carefully slips the handkerchief through the belt then ties it off so it will stay in place but not be in the way if the kid decides to wander off.

Like he did while Cobb and Din were distracting talking.

[the_child]

He smiles and nods. He'd like that! He likes Cobb, and he's happy to spend more time with him.

But... He feels something. He tilts his head a little. Being open to the Force again is a relearning experience for him. As Cobb thinks about Din, Grogu senses something from him. He glances over at his guardian before looking back at Cobb. Wut.

[heypartner]

There's a lot in what Cobb feels for Din. Trust. Affection. Want. Curiosity. Something deeper that might be stirring under the surface. It's probably a mess for Grogu to figure out because Cobb was still sorting through it himself.

"There we go," he says unaware Grogu is sensing things through the Force. "You're lookin' real sharp now."

He adjusts the scarf and looks pleased at the red contrasting the brown of his Jedi robes.

[the_child]

That's a lot of stuff... and it's different stuff than he usually feels from friends. It's closer to the stuff that he felt from the memories he saw of Master Kenobi and Satine. Whoa... could it be? He had to meditate on this and figure it out.

He looks down at the bandana, touching the embroidery again, before smiling up at Cobb. Yeah, he's happy. And it does look good!

[heypartner]

Cobb gently rubs his palm over Grogu's head. "Gonna let you get back to your feast. You join me and your dad when you're done."

He collected the refilled drinks and tipped the bartender a very generous amount. The kid looked happy where he was and Cobb saw no reason to interrupt him. If he got an upset stomach later, well that was later.

"Have fun, kiddo." He left him to the bar and rejoined Din at the table where he would probably spend the rest of the night.

[the_child]

Grogu smiles and makes a happy noise. He will have a good night, thank you very much. He'll meander over at some point later, once he's had his fill.
