Who: The Jedi Exile (Meetra) and OPEN
Where: Around the Pisces district, mostly
Summary: A Jedi wanders rather suspiciously around this strange planet
Warnings: Shouldn't be any
The strange officials who'd briefed her on where she'd ended up - without being able to tell her how she got here, or what happened to T3 or the Ebon Hawk - had also said she had accommodations somewhere in the "Pisces District". It would almost have reminded her of Telos, but it was sadly lacking in sarcastic running commentary or jailtime.
Rather than head immediately to her assigned apartment or use the holocommunicator they'd given her, Meetra decided to take a wandering path through the city. Late at night, it seemed like most shops were closed, but there were still a few citizens about - and more importantly, she had been told there were other "visitors" here, who'd arrived just as abruptly and cluelessly as herself. It would be nice to meet a few face to face and gauge the situation first...
Thus, clad in the brown robes she'd arrived in - hood up against the scattered rain and keeping her quite dry - Meetra wandered the nighttime crowds, occasionally politely asking a local politely for their take on the situation. Some hurried past - expected in a city - others exposited enthusiastically about her as a guest, a few asked her if she was a sorcerer or priest or something. Clearly no Jedi or Sith tradition on this planet, or so she assumed - the robes were normally a dead giveaway.
At the same time, she kept her senses open to the strange feeling in this city...as desperate and noisy as Nar Shadaa, thick with what felt almost, but not quite exactly, like the Force she'd grown used to again. Maybe the difference had something to do with that man who'd appeared to her. Well, she'd just have to see some time when groundcars weren't splashing sheets of rain at her.

He chuckled sheepishly in a kind of lame attempt to try and ease the tension of him, being an idiot. It's not very effective. "I mean, except for the, getting soaked by the rain part, but there's not much I can do about that now, heh..."

"Need someone to cover you while you get indoors? I'm heading for the Pisces apartments."

Well, he felt kind of weird asking help of a total stranger, but she did kind of offer in the first place, but that was only because he had kind of...run into her in the first place...
"Y-Yeah, if you don't mind... I can probably manage once we get to the right district."

Thankfully, Jedi robes were baggy enough to cover two people if one of them was short and the other held them open. Daichi would be able to stay a lot dryer, although he would need to get fairly close to the woman and/or the various electronics hidden in pockets inside the robe to stay covered.
"I think we're pretty close. Can you run?"

He looked away from all of the gadgets and gizmos to grin up at her. "Yeah, after you--!"
