Jidak ran through the streets, thankful that most of the fighting had seemed to have moved away from them. Running down one particular street, a holo-vid caught her eye. She ran over and pressed a few buttons, bringing up the Bounty list, she frowned as she saw an old business partner "Jakolir... What have you done this time?" she mumbled, looking down his racket. As she read down the list, she couldn't help but start bursting out laughing. "Arson? PHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" she burried her face in her hands and walked away for a second, coming back and continuing her fit of hilarity as she read the Rape allogations, as well as the Murder ones. She then saw the Blackmail charges and wiped a tear away. "Yup, that sounds about right." she giggled. "Ohh...." she hunched over a little, feeling a little giddy from laughing so hard.
Jakolir was known by almost every crook in the system. He was a fence. A guy that bought anything, no questions asked. There were rumours that he had done some Pirating for the Black Sun a while back, but seeing as how he usually dove for cover the moment a gun was drawn, she believed that rumour to hold little water... Then again, it might have just been an act... She whipped out her Comm-link "Govy... They've put out a bounty on Jakolir."
"(That bum?)" the comm replied in Dug. "(Lemme guess, he tried to hock Xizor a duff Holocron again?)"
"Nope, looks like it's Imperial in origin." she said.
"(What would they want with a small time crook like him?)" asked Govyana. She then read another part of it.
"... I think he might be the Fall Guy... It says that he's the owner of "Fat Lady" I'm thinking that this bounty is aimed at us." she said.
"(Dammit, I knew that game of Sabaac would come back to haunt me. You tell that bum that it doesn't count as a win if you were caught cheating!)"
"And I told you not to bet the ship." she muttered, before putting the Comm-Link back on her belt. She then looked around, nobody was about, besides the odd Speeder-Bike patrol. She waited until she was out of sight, before changing into her Human Male form and continuing on.

Icecaps Cantina. A place where nobody seemed to care what was happening, so long as the credits were flowing. Several people were huddled around a Dejarik board taking bets on the small, holographic monsters that were punching each others lights out, whilst more people huddled around a large table with a Droid dealing out cards. "And, that... Boys and... Whatever the hell you're supposed to be, is where I leave..." came an inebriated slur from the Sabaac table. Jidak tutted as she saw the Rodian stumble towards her, obviously drunk. Somehow, this was one of the card players able to better function on alcohol, than off it. She pulled his arm over her head.
"Alright, let's get you out of here." she mumbled.
"Hey, I don't know you." he slurred. "I'm pretty sure you're not my dad, so I'm thinkin' i'm gonna... Gonn-..." he then ran outside of the Cantina before throwing up. She waved her hand in front of her face as she approached him from behind, rubbing his back.
"That's right... Let it all out." she said.
"I'll let out what I wanna let out... I WON today!!!" He said, spitting out some smaller chunks of something that she didn't want to know the origins of. "So... Who are you? Look, I swear, the Holocron was approved by an official Holocron... Approving... Approval guy." Jidak looked down the street to see a Swoop bike patrol coming.
"Dammit!" she yelled, quickly transforming into her own Rodian form, throwing him against the wall, taking a deep breath and locking lips with him. The 5 bikes flew straight past them. As soon as they were out of sight, she pushed away, rubbing her tongue, as she seemed to erratically change form, losing all focus thanks to the disgusting taste of Rodian vomit now in her mouth. "AAAAWWWW!!!" She screamed. "OH MY FORCE THAT WAS THE MOST FOWL ULLLLGGH" she wretched a little.
"Hey, what can I say, i'm just too irresistable." Jakolir moaned, leaning back against the wall, looking rather content.
"Laugh it up scale-ball." she moaned before wretching again. "Don't you know that those guys are after you?" she asked as her form finally settled on her Nautolan form.
"Oh, it's you..." he said. "Dammit, and I thought I'd scored." he pouted. "What would they be after me for?"
"That's what I want to know. What have you done to the Empire recently?" she asked.
"Dunno... Look, I don't remember every- Wait, you still with Govyana? That bum owes me a ship." She approached him and slipped back into her Rodian form.
"You don't win a Sabaac game by obviously cheating." she said to him in a seductive tone. "Now why don't you tell little ol' me about what you did to the Imperials?" she asked.

Some time later, Jidak finally had reached the burned out hulk of an LAAT gunship that she had watched go down earlier. She thought she could find some nice equipment onboard. She was dressed in Scout Armour that she had "Borrowed" from a soldier she had killed, she had also borrowed his bike. Climbing off of the bike, she looked around at the wreckage. Sadly, for her, the rebels that had survived had made sure to take anything of value that they could carry. Luckily, they appeared to have missed one of their A280's, which she picked up and slung over her shoulders, before continuing to search.
