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!

"What's the holiday?" Kyle asked, interested in spite of being drunk and depressed.

"I think we can do that. There's really no other choice."

[heypartner]

"Oh, just an important day in the town's history. Not like a planet wide thing." Cobb wasn't going to go into detail. Liberation Day would bring too many questions about things he doesn't want.

Only a few people can know what he was before. Only a few people have figured it out. Cobb kept it buried.

He chuckled. "See? You get it."

[kyley_b]

"Oh. Ours are. Planet-wide. Sorta, I mean. If you're Jewish." He looked glumly at his hands.

"I get it. It's even a little exciting. I mean... everybody working together? That's pretty great."

[heypartner]

"There are planet wide holidays. Big religious ones too. But this one, it's personal." Cobb studied Kyle for a moment. "You wanna celebrate yours in town? Nothin' says we can't."

Maybe they should. Cobb wasn't sure how he'd explain Liberation Day without touching on slavery but maybe he could come up with something. Shouldn't have to stop celebrating just because they got taken.

He was a little skeptical on just how many people would work together but he'd try. "We'll see."

[kyley_b]

Kyle looks up. "Maybe," he says after a moment's thought. "I mean, I guess... Billy and Tommy are Jewish, sorta. I dunno. I'll ask em, I guess. You could celebrate yours too, you know. If it's important it probably ought to be."

Kyle's unshakable faith in the goodness of people is, sadly, something that frequently gets him into trouble. "It'll be good," he says with unwarranted confidence. "And thanks for getting me home. I'm sorry for being a pain."

[heypartner]

Cobb could guess that Jewish was a religion of some sort at this point. He'd never heard of it but clearly it was important to Kyle. "Yeah, ask 'em. If not we'll figure somethin' out. Mine ain't for awhile so don't worry."

There was always a chance some genuinely good people still existed in the world. Cobb was a bit more cynical but he'd let Kyle have his hope. "All drunk people are a pain. It ain't just you. Don't feel too bad."

[kyley_b]

"Yeah." He feels quite a bit the same way he did when he went off to university, just with more aliens.

He laughs a little, visibly making the effort to shake off any melancholy. "Yeah. True. I'm not much of a drinker. When I next see you I'm gonna owe you, dude."

[heypartner]

"Ah, you don't owe me. We gotta look after each other. Just doin' what's right." Cobb didn't like the idea folks needed to pay him for this. It was the right thing to do and look after these people.

There's no way to build a community if folks looked at it like a business. None of that.

"If I ever get real drunk you can call a taxi for me." They're at the hangars now. Cobb paid the driver and then got out, holding the door open for Kyle. "You can find your ship?"

[kyley_b]

"Deal." Because in Kyle's opinion, part of being a community means giving back when someone gives to you.

He nods as he gets out of the cab. "I can," he assures him. "M'on the Bloodsport. She's hard to miss."

[heypartner]

"Then have a good night, kid." Cobb posted up at the entrance to the hangar to keep an eye out for any other drunk stragglers that might need help getting back.

He'd get some rest once everyone was back and accounted for. If they didn't show up... well, it was a big city to search but he had a feeling their alien overlords would make sure everyone got back safe.

Still, felt good to keep an eye out.
