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!

“Yes, and Ezra and Cal. I’m sure you know Cal, but have you met Ezra?”

Cal had been around Temba the longest though. Which actually got him to thinking about something. He needed to talk one on one with the young man again. Probably after they got back.

[deal_me_in]

"Nnnno. I think I vaguely remember him popping up on the network. Damn, what was I doing then?" Cayde scratches his head and then snaps his fingers as he recalls that might have been just about when that whole mishap with the speeder had happened... It all seems like light-years ago.

"Anyway. I'll probably get around to it. If not here then back on Temba for sure."

[hadthehighground]

“I recommend that you do. He’s an excellent young man.”

Ezra was very bright, talented, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. That made him a very good student, and Obi-Wan was looking forward to teaching him. Not only that he seemed to be very compassionate and had a way of relating to people that he himself didn’t quite have. He had the makings of a great Jedi.

[deal_me_in]

"Well, if it comes on your recommendation...!" The Exo flashes a lopsided grin at Obi-Wan. "You're definitely a lot happier since the last time we talked, and I'm sure it's only partially to do with the lack of glitter."

He lifts his drink, gesturing to Obi-Wan. C'mon, toast! "So, got any recommendations for anything a guy might do to ensure that he might maybe get a footnote in the local history on the account that at some point, say, nine hundred years from now some random Jedi might come across a story about a crazy droid that might not have been and think, 'well, that's interesting' ?"

[hadthehighground]

“I can’t argue that,” Obi-Wan says as he lifts his drink in turn. He can definitely toast to happiness! He’s felt so much more at ease and at peace with himself since coming here.

He then laughs at Cayde’s question. “Intent on leaving with a bang are you? Well I don’t know, perhaps starting your own little droid uprising? I’m certain you could distract the police with a mod of unruly droids while you make your escape.”

[deal_me_in]

"I mean, I could go out with a bang but I figure people would rather keep property damage to a minimum," Cayde grins. He looks to be giving serious thought to Obi-Wan's suggestion however, which may or may not be a good thing.

"That'd be great and all but would that get them anywhere?"

[hadthehighground]

“Probably not,” Obi-Wan confessed. “I’ve heard of droid uprisings before and in my time droids and organics have a cooperative relationship. So who can say for sure. Though it was droids we fought against in the Clone Wars.”

Whether Cayde takes it seriously or not is up to him. Obi-Wan’s a bit more loose thanks to the alcohol and isn’t really thinking that the Exo would actually take it seriously.

[deal_me_in]

"That's like a bajillion years later though. Hm. So maybe not a good idea to rile my droid buddies up... How tight is security at the temple?" the Exo asks idly. It might be tricky but he's up for a challenge. Although given the rarity of printed material around the city he has to wonder if there'd be anything to deface write on in Jedi-ville.

[hadthehighground]

That gets a raised brow from Obi-Wan. Messing with his temple and his people is where he draws the line, even after having had a few drinks.

“Very tight. The temple guards are not to be trifled with, especially if you wish to keep your body intact.”

[deal_me_in]

It isn't 'messing'! It's leaving secret messages for future unknown buddies! Cayde strokes his chin, hmming at that. "Oh, I'll bet. I mean, that's why they'd be the guards, right?" he muses as he contemplates ways to get in. Obi-Wan got them a free pass to visit didn't he?

[hadthehighground]

Ikora did that already and Obi-Wan had been hesitant about it then. Her intentions at least were good and helpful. But Cayde?

“I’m afraid to ask what you’re considering,” the Jedi says while taking another swig from his mug.

He might have gotten them a pass but Obi-Wan was usually present.

[deal_me_in]

Ouch. ...well okay, that's completely fair, but still, ouch!

"What's to be afraid of?" Cayde laughs, waving a hand. "I promise I'm not planning on using anything involving explosives. Or flares." Okay, no, that probably just sounds all bad in general. "-look, point is, I'm not going to destroy anything. I just want to leave my mark somewhere, is that so much to ask?"

[hadthehighground]

A look is passed to Cayde as he went on about explosives because that’s apparently supposed to make him feel better??

“That all depends on what that mark is. Your friend Ikora already left an impression by having her ghost download information on the hive or whatever it was into the archives.” He waved a hand dismissively. Despite her warnings, there were other things Obi-Wan was worried about in the future if his people.

[deal_me_in]

He means well, really.

At mention of Ikora, Cayde mock gasps, if only to keep from showing his surprise that someone's already run into her. He'd been informed by Sundance that she'd been contacted by the Warlock's Ghost, but leave it to a Warlock's insatiable curiosity and a Hunter's insatiable wanderlust to keep them both from an immediate reunion. But they could hardly be blamed when this city is such a giant treasure trove.

"Already changing history," he sighs wistfully, shaking his head. "She didn't mention me in- no, probably not. Hive? Yuck."

[hadthehighground]

Yes but the way to hell is paved with good intentions! After years of being with Anakin he knows that quite well.

“I really don’t know what all she put in there, but she was quite insistent. And seems to be quite fond of you I might add.”

[deal_me_in]

Cayde might've gotten along rather well with Anakin.

He chuckles. If he had any doubts that Ikora was really here (and he hadn't), just the little things as Obi-Wan mentions are enough to convince otherwise. "That's Ikora all right, insistent. But of course she's fond of me. I'm the life of the Vanguard party! Otherwise it'd just be words, words, words at the meetings, you know?"

[hadthehighground]

Obi-Wan has no doubt that Cayde and Anakin would get along. Not just for their personalities but his old Padawan was always fond of droids. Even if Cayde wasn’t one he’s certain his curiosity would get the better of him.

“Yes she told me about the Vanguard as well. I can’t say the Jedi are always less mundane but I like to think we remember what’s most important.”

[deal_me_in]

They'd certainly give whoever's unfortunate enough to babysit them a double headache for sure.

"Oh, it's not that we don't remember that, it's just that there's a lot of talk around actual decision making. Took a war on our doorstep to remind 'em that we're Guardians! Doesn't hurt to get our hands dirty on the field. We're the Vanguard, but we're also a fireteam." Cayde sighs wistfully. "That was one of the good things that came about from that mess at least. 'course after that it's back to talks and fixing things up."

He picks up his mug, eyeballing how much is left before tipping it all back. "Though speaking of. I should probably go and touch base with my fellow Guardian since I don't see her stopping by for the party. Might be too soon." Beat. "Or maybe the decor."

[hadthehighground]

“Yes I hear your people are fond of talking.”

It sounded like it was hard to get things done. Though Obi-Wan knew a thing or two about that himself. As Cayde mentioned going to find his companion, the Jedi nodded in understanding.

“Perhaps a bit of both,” he agreed. “Say hello to her for me. I’ll see you back on Agra 10.”

[deal_me_in]

Smirking a little, Cayde pushes out of his seat. "Will do. Don't miss me too much," he says, giving the Jedi a salute before turning to go bother the bartender for something he can bring along. Obi-Wan would catch part of the exchange.

"So what's the gaudiest set of cups you got and are they for sa- ooh! Yes. Excellent, I'll take those. And a bottle of the blue. Mmm- the other blue." And then the Guardian's off and out, clutching his spoils close to his chest.
