Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

[Chad32]

Jocun wanted to talk to Parker, and even though Gene apparently wasn't very chatty right now, Parker had blown up at him that last time he made an idle comment.

<Don't bother him. He's unimportant.> Simon said.

<It bothers me, though. Is it really just about Keshin, or is he bothered by something else?>

<If he has a problem with you, then he's the one that has to deal with it. He's not a rebel. He's not a super close friend of Terenia. He's unimportant.>

[Terenia]

"We work," Esreth replies for Gene with a shrug. "A lot." She replenishes her beer and looks around the bar, keeping a close eye on Ossanlin nearby.

<<Don't you dare try to chat him up,>> Terenia says of the Andalite.

<<Why not? You're curious.>>

<<Not curious enough to start conversation with him,>> she responds. <<That never goes well for me.>>

<<He gave you your body back,>> Esreth counters simply.

[Myitt]

Gene sighs as Terenia steps off toward the bar.

He shrugs at Jocun. "I'm sorry, dude. Wish I could help you there."

To Parker he replies, "Yeah, pretty much what she said." He jerks a thumb toward Terenia and Esreth. "Never-ending cycle of work, eat, sleep." Gene rolls his eyes. "I guess once in a while we do get to have a little fun."

[Chad32]

"I guess it can be hard to find a quiet moment in war. I'm glad you guys found at least one place where you can relax, though obviously complete relaxation isn't possible at the bar. Maybe some other place is, though if my history is correct, Yeerk and Andalite forces are scattered around about every nook and cranny of the galaxy. Being on the bad side of both forces makes for a hard life. Here's to keeping on living." He said, raising his drink. He ordered some more when he realized how little was in the glass.

[Darth Revan]

Parker nods his head, "I understand that completely." He nods his head toward Terenia and asks Gene, "So she's a mechanic. What do you do? Unless it's confidential, of course."

[Myitt]

Gene laughs lightly, shaking his head. His brown curls spring back and forth. "No, it's hardly confidential," he says with a grin. "I'm a mechanic, too. At least, I was always good with machines, and my Yeerk was, too. I've stuck with it. Not sure I'd be much use to the rebellion otherwise." He notes Jocun ordering a drink and glances over at the bar counter, drumming his fingers on the surface.

[Darth Revan]

Parker nodded his head, he laughed and asked, "I bet you don't have to worry about breaking down anywhere, huh?"

[Myitt]

"Only when it's impossible to get out and fix a flat," Gene says with a smirk. "The whole 'space' thing. Anyway, I'm not nearly as good as Kellim was." He bites his lip. "He taught me the ropes, when it comes to all this Yeerkish stuff."

[Darth Revan]

Parker smiled, "I understand that. Before I found this place, I had never been paired with an A.I. before. So it was weird having Thor inside my head for a while. It was nice, but weird. When I lost him when I was stranded, I definitely missed him." He glances at Terenia, "It's nice having someone else in there sometimes other than yourself."

[Myitt]

Gene blinks. "Excuse me, 'Thor'?" he asks blankly. His eyes slide to Terenia. "Is he telling me that he has a Norse god in his head?" he whispers loudly.

[Chad32]

Jocun chuckles. "I doubt the guy is a Norse god."

[Darth Revan]

Parker smiles and extends his arm to Gene as though he's going to shake his hand; but keeps rotating his hand so his palm faces upward. A hologram of a man appears in a kneeling position, his right arm resting on his knee, and his forhead resting on his forearm. His left hand holds a short-handled hammer with its head on the ground, and his hand on the handle like a cane. The man raises from his earlier stance now standing tall, about 7". As the hologram speaks, a voice comes out of Parker's helmet's speakers.

"I am Thor. Nice to meet you."

Parker smiles. It's been so long since he had seen Thor's ridiculous entrance. He actually missed it.

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Salem glanced over his shoulder at Rathien as he reached the door of the bar. "Oh, I noticed. I also noticed just how poorly they were shooting," he said, half to himself. Without waiting for a response, he opened the door and glanced around the bar. "And how they seemed to know you were there before you did," he muttered to himself, quietly enough that Rathien might not be able to make it out.

Things seemed to have quieted down significantly inside. He did see Jocun and Ossanlin, though, the two people he needed to speak to.

He stepped inside and, after a brief search, found his briefcase-like case under a table. He frowned as he reached underneath to grab it- had he even been sitting at a table? He managed to smack the back of his head on the edge of the table as he stood up, but bit his tongue to avoid cursing in front of the War Prince.  Ossanlin would already be unhappy with him, he had no doubt- there was no sense in making it worse.

Rubbing the back of his head, he walked up to Jocun. "Hey," he said, a weary smile on his face. He really was starting to feel worn-down. "I think I got pulled away for other business. I'm sorry. I think I owe you for those scans you let me take." He popped the latches on his case. "What would you say to a personal Dracon modification?"

[Chad32]

Jocun was peering around to see Thor, wondering if it was a sentient being or just a program, when he heard the bar door. Salem walked in, going for something of his. He gave a disapproving look when Salem came to him. "What in the hell was going on earlier? Why would you open fire in the building like that? Why don't you tell me what the deal is between you and the other guy, and why you're so kill happy against each other?"

[Myitt]

Gene stares down at the little hologram.

"Holy ****," he blurts, wide-eyed. "It's like a little Star Wars hologram."

He leans forward, scrutinizing. "You can hear me?" he asks the sentient program.
