[Video - introduction]

[cadbane]

[Despite the unusual circumstances of this kidnapping, Cad Bane was going to take this as an opportunity. The welcoming holo had been helpful but it never hurt to have extra information and so he tries the communication device to see what opportunities and information may be out there. To some he may look very alien with his red eyes and blue skin and there is some unidentifiable accent in his gravelly voice. He's wearing a wide-brimmed hat and an outfit befitting a Wild West gunslinger. Attached to his face are two strange tubes and his arms have strange tech-gadget contraptions like gauntlets. He's glad that all of this equipment appears not to have been tampered with upon his arrival. Even his twin blasters are still in their holsters. He appears now on the screen.]

Let me introduce myself. The name's Cad Bane and my reputation may precede me. While I got the welcoming committee, the information is basic and experience counts so any further information you can provide would be appreciated.

I'm also looking for work. If you've got something - or someone - missing you want found; something located in a hard place to get out of; or need any criminals rounded up, contact me and we can come to an arrangement. I don't work cheap but I'm the best you can get.

[With a tip of his hat, he closes the feed and waits for responses.]

"Ahaha. 'Cad'? Oh, dear. My apologies, Mr. Bane. What species are you, anyway?" [This laughing, gaily dressed blonde can't help but feel sorry for someone with a name like that. Doesn't stop his curiosity. His expression changes to something more businesslike as he moves on to other topics.]

"Well, I've been here for a while, and know a thing or two. But rather than bore you with encyclopedic potpourri, why not narrow inquiry for better service?

As for work, feast your sinister, crimson eyes on this. A new wave of criminals have just shown up...or they've always been there and we simply haven't heard of them, just yet...well, anyway, it's a good way to get paid, purge evil, and familiarize yourself with the cities all at once. The Beacon Bounty Boards could always use more help."

I'm a Duros, not that that should make a difference to anything.

[He thinks that's an irrelevant question but in a new world maybe it was fair enough to answer it. Checking the link, any brief annoyance turns to a more satisfied expression.]

That's most helpful. I'm a bounty hunter by trade and it looks like my services could be of great use here.

[youfool]

[Judging by Ted's burning curiosity, it isn't irrelevant to him]

"A 'Duros', eh? Hmm. What are the seven most interesting facts you can tell me about them?

Ah, then you'll fit right in! In fact, let me know should you need any assistance; done a few myself, if that doesn't sound too much like boasting. I'll be sure to congratulate you on your first one."

Aaactually, I'm the best they can get here, sorry buddy.

Have the market cornered on skeevy expensive stealy murdery bounty hunter shit.

[cadbane]

We'll have to see about that.

Re: Video

[fukkinawesome]

And by see about that I mean you'll go take your business outta Genessia City, that's my territory, bro.

[Alien life form. Clearly not human, and not just not human, blatantly so.

A brief search through his data base concludes that Cad isn't a species he's run across before. Soundwave is no anthropologist, but with nothing else to do here...

Poking at things he's never seen before is as good as it's going to get. He has to keep himself occupied, he's pretty sure he'll snap otherwise]

Tribune contains bounties available for claiming

Delivery: once weekly

[cadbane]

Good. I'll check on that.

[Not one to sit around idly, he'll get to work as soon as he can.]

Query: User is of an unknown species

Requesting species name

[Oh my god, Soundwave, you don't just ask someone their species]

[Jak eyes the camera]

Depending on your idea of work. "I could use a little help with something..."

[cadbane]

What is it?

If you're going to pull that in Fayren, you may consider joining up with Under the Sun Retrievals and the Beacon Bounty Board. If you're going to head over to Nova City, you need to register for a license and agree to the terms- anything considered in the vein of bounty hunting requires a license, otherwise it's considered vigilantism. If you're looking at Everglade, I'd recommend reviewing discussing it with the City Guardian there first. They're a rather.. unique city. And I don't think Genessia or Attleton have anything explicitly set up, so those will likely be the easiest places to start.

Also? The information is completely available to be supplemented if you go to the Welcome Center and it's based on experience, not just some garbage we got from the people who brought us here. [ She vets it herself, after all. ]

[cadbane]

What's official isn't always the most accurate, which is why I'm asking the people.

[He gives a small shrug, eyeing her.]

But since you're making an appearance in person, I appreciate the confirmation.

So, different areas have different rules for bounties? I'm used to a more freelance way and doing things on my own terms.

[But that wasn't dismissive; just stating his position.]

[whiteas]

Considering Schnee Company makes our trade centered around information, I hope you'll come to trust us in the future. We keep track of anything that we're given or find out.

[ She understands the skepticism though. A lot of people have it, and it's better than just assuming the first thing you're told is right. But she wants to make sure that people know her company isn't out to screw them over. ]

Most people are; that's why some Guardians set rules, because people can go too far when that's "normal" for them.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Just what I wanted,a bounty hunter.

But then, I doubt I've got too much to worry about these days anyway. All that stuff's behind me.

[OK, there are still some Hutts who'd like to get back at him for Jabba, but...]

[cadbane]

You don't seem too pleased. Have you got a price on your head?

Maybe not here, but where you're from.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Like I said, all over now. Jabba's been dead a while now. Fett tried collecting on it...but Jabba made the mistake of messing with the wrong humans...one Jedi, plus one ticked off princess who will not be any one's slave, plus me being ticked off over having been carbon frozen just before that equals one dead Hutt.

Things are quite a bit better back home these days, really.

[Of course, he's going to boast...he's just cocky enough to risk it. But, he's keeping his big mouth shut on other stuff. Sometimes, it doesn't seem like much has changed. The only difference is, people are after him now for being the Chief of State's husband and having three kids who are too powerful for their own good sometimes. But the last thing he wants is to risk trouble by saying anything about it.

The one thing Han doesn't realize is that Bane is from decades earlier, probably thinks he means Jango and not Boba, and that he might not be alive by that time.]

You might find that here your reputations might not be known at all, Cad Bane. Different universe from our own and all that trouble beign kidnapped brings to your door.

[But Kay's interest is pinged either way because he can tell the man is a Duros.]

You are a bounty hunter?

[Video]

[cadbane]

There's usually a reason behind kidnapping. They usually know who you are.

[He gives the droid a look over. It's not one he's familiar with, being a little after his current time.]

I'm the best, pal.

[k2so]

I've been investigating and I visited all the cities of this world, except the ones in the archways, and so far no one knows who or what exactly bring us here.

[Kay to tilts his head in a birdlike a manner.]

You might have some competition here. There are many bounty hunters in the city. What are your credentials?

[truesmiles]

Nice to meet you. I'm Fai D. Flourite and do not have any kind of reputation, so that's introductions out of the way let's go to something else.

[He looked down for a moment, there was a pokemon by his feet so he was just checking on them quietly.]

Seems like the kind of work you seem to be looking for is actually the type that a lot of people seem to choose here to start with. Not everyone but most.

[cadbane]

I've been doing this kind of work for my entire life.

[truesmiles]

So your saying you've done it since you were born?

[anewhero]

[A "man" who is wearing a black leather jacket with red on it, and three yellow lines.]

"Hm? Oh, hey. Welcome."

[cadbane]

Have you got some information?
