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!

"Oh there's always room for improvement as far as technology is concerned," Obi-Wan says with some amusement. "I'm certain you could find some holovids that might give you a better idea." Is he giving Richie more ideas for things to buy and take back? Not especially. He watched the occasional holo drama here and there, but he didn't often have time for such things.

It didn't take long for the speeder to get them to their destination at least. Climbing out of the cab, the sound and smell of animals was obvious enough. All sorts of creatures were lined up in stalls as they walked through the corridors, Obi-Wan following signs in Aurebesh to where they needed to go.

Okay. These animals are weird. Richie isn't entirely sure he likes the look of some and definitely hates the smell of others. He looks to Obi-Wan for a hint of what to do next since this is clearly his area of expertise.

What he was going to rant about regarding 'holovids' goes unsaid with everything else stealing his attention.

Down the line he spots something that looks like the head on the wall from the bar.

"Beej! Is that them? Fuck... They can get pretty big, huh?"

[hadthehighground]

“Those are banthas yes, and you can see why we can’t fit the adults on the ships.”

They were practically the size of an elephant. The creatures looking a bit mournfully at them as they stood in the stalls. These were here to mostly be sold for slaughter as there was no actual farm space on Coruscant. Thus most of what they saw were the adult common banthas.

“Oh, they even have a few dwarf banthas.” That’s relatively rare, but the Jedi moves on. “Here we are.”

There was a large open stall with several calves in it. A few bleating and coming over to check them out as they walked up to the rail.

[mrsklover]

Richie nods, distracted by the dwarf banthas for a moment. He pauses and watches them before realizing that Obi-Wan had moved on. He trots up to stand beside him when they get to the stall with the calves. There is one bantha calf that looks a little thinner than the others and has an especially dopey face as it walks closer.

Richie instantly loves it.

"Hey, what about that one? Nice and small, right? Looks friendly."

It collides into the rails as it walks closer and makes an offended noise before nearly doing it again.

"Oh man. I am going to name it Einstein."

[hadthehighground]

“Hm?”

Bending down, Obi-Wan reaches through the bars and places his hand on head of the young Bantha. The Jedi judging the beasts well being and character.

“I’m not so certain about this one. It doesn’t look as healthy as the others.”

It’s then that a reptilian looking man walks up to them speaking huttese. “Uba huujah booee bantha?”

[mrsklover]

"Oooga Booga Mooga Boo!" Richie says with a grin, not quite internalizing the fact that he's being pretty fucking rude. The little tiny bantha butts against the bars again and Richie can't help but reach out and pet at its head. It's endearing, what can he say?

"What is the...uh....good man over here saying?" He looks at the small bantha again and smiles as it looks up at him, dumbly.

"And ask him what's up with this one, huh? Doesn't look sick.... Just dumb."

[hadthehighground]

Obi-Wan grimaces and resists the urge to facepalm at Richie. The Klatooinian merchant though is far less pleased with the man's attempt to be funny though, and glares before reaching out to grab Richie by the collar.

"Settah da andoba tee-tocky, sleemo!"

The Jedi just sighed at that. "I'm not going to tell him anything until you apologize for your rude behavior. And I suggest you do so quickly."

[mrsklover]

Richie wasn't expecting that.

"Shit, dude!" He looks to Obi-Wan for help and realizes none is going to be coming fast. Turning back to the angry alien, Richie holds his hands up: 'Don't shoot' style. "I'm sorry! Holy shit, I am sorry, dude. I have a really rare condition where I talk out of my ass like 90% of the time. It only looks like it's my mouth, I swear."

He turns to Obi-Wan, eyes wide.

"Beej, translate that before I get tossed somewhere?"

[hadthehighground]

Obi-Wan just gives Richie a deadpan look before turning to the merchant and speaking to him with all seriousness.

“Chut chut, da wanga sa du koochoo. Poonoo sa mo gootu tagwa? Hagwa baatu baatu foo ta poodoo.”

The Klatooinian growls at Obi-Wan for a moment then let’s go of Richie with a chuckle. He then moves over to the pen and points at them. “Bantha?” And his tone easily suggests something like ‘you want one or not?’ He doesn’t have all day you know.
