A - Animal Mage Hunt

[Din would hardly count himself an active defender of the downtrodden. He's had his moments, certainly, but his career often puts him in a place where that's not what he's paid to do. And maybe, once upon a time, he would have taken a job like this on. Wouldn't change the fact that it just seems inefficient, unnecessary. Lazy, for lack of a better term.

So when he comes across a group accosting a potential animal mage, he sighs, figuring he might as well do something about it.]

You really looking to waste time like this?

[He says, pointing his blaster into the leader's back. There's a small group of them but well, he likes the odds. He calls to the person being held up.]

You okay?


B - Invasive Species

[It was, in retrospect, not the most well thought out plan he's ever had.

Really, he should have expected the exoskeleton, though most of his focus had been on the stinger, and the claws. But it's exceedingly clear that his conventional weapons are not going to be as effective.

He sits up, checking himself over. Nothing's broken and once again, the beskar has held up. He's grateful for that. He takes a breath.]

Okay, plan B.


C - Crystal Mushrooms

[Now this is familiar territory. A dingy bar, rough looking customers, Din standing out because of his armour. He knows how this one plays. Certainly, he doesn't expect anyone to recognize him as a Mandalorian here but hopefully it's just as intimidating. He goes up to the bar, leaning on it and ignoring the looks he's getting. Once he has the barkeep's attention, he asks]

I'm looking for Wicked Wendy. Heard this was a hang out of her's.

Comments

[friendsallover]

It did. Thank you again for that.

Though that was more of a result of my bargaining magic. I'm still learning to understand it.

[And he doesn't want to be sent on another troublesome quest.]

What would be the best way to contact the authorities?

[markedfordeath]

[She didn't respond to the second round of thanks, but the gunner did raise a slender brow ever so subtly. She wasn't used to anyone thanking her, let alone twice especially for such little work.

Bargaining magic? She hadn't heard of that one before. Quite fitting for one who used to be in the bounty profession.]

Yes I can imagine so.

[His question was one she initially thought he was asking in jest. Would she know the best way to contact the authorities? Then, she realised that Mando was actually being serious and it took more effort than she thought not to laugh at his question. So she offered a small amused chuckle instead.]

I'm not exactly one who cares about contacting any form of authorities. [The orders were offered with a calm smile. Although, she did take a moment to glance down at the thug beneath her boot.] Although I suppose I do know of a knight you could call. It seems right up his alley.

[friendsallover]

Fair enough.

[Neither is he. Usually he's the one bringing in the bounties but if there isn't any, there's not much of a point. But he can't really just leave them here. Tied up or not, they'll still likely cause trouble.]

That works, if he's available. If not, might just have to leave them.

[markedfordeath]

[You could always end their misery, Mando. That's Elza's way of dealing with things anyway.

Elza wasn't about to use her own. No, she doesn't trust technology or it being secure enough to not let information fall into the wrong hands... so instead...]

Hand me that communication device of yours.

[She dug her boot once again into the back of the assailant before moving off of him to go and collect the phone. Her gesture was enough of a warning not to try something stupid. If he did... well... she couldn't be to blame for whatever happened to him after.]

[friendsallover]

[If they try anything again, well he can't be held responsible if he tries to defend himself. Hopefully, they're smart enough not to.

He digs out his phone, considering for a moment before passing it over. He really only uses it for the quest board so there's nothing to hide.]

Here.

[markedfordeath]

[There was a pleasant smile and a slight nod while she reached over to take the phone.

Thankfully Elza wasn't going interested in going through his phone. So when she took it, she went straight to the messaging section and began looking up Hijikata's information.

Finding it she typed out a simple message to the knight.

She didn't hand the phone back just yet while she waited for a reply. Instead she held it in her hand while she gestured at the bound assailants.]

May I ask what all of this was about?

[friendsallover]

There was a quest on the board about hunting down animal mages. Seemed inefficient, so I figured I'd do the opposite. See if it could give me a lead who whoever caused it.

If I got lucky, I was thinking I could bring whoever caused it in.
