Get a grip [D6, MM]

[Quinn Largo]

Quinn, helped along by Cal, was on the prowl for a variety of hard to find items. And with a little bit of luck, and more time than either of time were probably comfortable with spending on the bazaar, found herself in posession of all of them. She hadn't fully explained to him what it was she was after; just giving him some a vague spiel about a little project she was working on. But she was dropping some serious cash on some of them.

[Cal Arcton]

Indeed, as they went along, Cal's hands were never that far from the hilts of his guns. But, of course, they usually weren't.

As they went along, he gave Quinn a curious glance. "Seems like you're pretty good at this sort of thing." He smirked. "And seems like you're doing better on tips than the rest of us."

[Quinn Largo]

"Tips?" She looked at him confused. "Oh. No, this is gambling money. I took some money off a bunch of people at the casino."

[Cal Arcton]

Cal did a double-take. "No kidding." He said.

After a moment, he laughed. "Well, ain't that a thing." He said, shaking his head. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. If I didn't know you could take care of yourself, I wouldn't be bringin' you in on some of these other things we're doing."

He gave her a curious look. "How'd you learn to do all this, though?"

[Quinn Largo]

She shrugged. "It's just a bit of talent with a bit of experience. Can't get by running around the rim by yourself with some skills, you know? Gambling's good money if you know a thing or two."

[Cal Arcton]

"That's true enough." Cal said with a sigh. "Besides, I'm one to talk. I got started in my last line of work at about your age."

As they walked along, he spoke again. "Well, it's been good having you along. You and Kor both." He smirked. "How's that big cat of his doing, anyway?"

[Quinn Largo]

"I don't know. It gives me the creeps, so I'm staying away from it."

[Cal Arcton]

"Yeah?" Cal frowned at her. "I sorta figured you for a cat person. What about it gives you the creeps?"

[Quinn Largo]

"What? You don't think a giant man-eating cat is scary? Besides there was all that talk of something weird about it, right?"

[Cal Arcton]

"Scary? Sure." Cal said. "I mean, I guess. It's big enough to eat your face if it had the chance. But it's a giant cat. That's pretty much what it does."

"What'd you hear, though? I've, uh, been busy with other stuff." Cal scratched at his stubble. "What with being deputized again and all."

[Quinn Largo]

"I don't know really. Just a funny feeling people get around it I guess. Speaking of... you and Runi are... close right?"

[Cal Arcton]

"Ummm..." Cal scratched at his stubble. "Sorta. Kinda. I mean, I've known her a while, but not real well, at least by some measured. Pretty well, by others. I guess you'd say we're close, yeah. Sorta." Reaching up, he loosened his neckcloth.

He cleared his throat. "Why do you ask?"

[Quinn Largo]

"Oh well I mean... has she talked to you about anything weird lately?"

[Cal Arcton]

"Uh... maybe..." Cal looked at Quinn, eyes narrowing sharply. "Has she talked to you about anything weird lately?"

It was a curious standoff, in which each knew something, and figured the other probably knew too, but didn't want to be the first to say they knew in case the other didn't actually know.

[Quinn Largo]

"Maybe?" She stared back for that awkward moment. "Lotta feelings of foreboding going around the past few days."

[Cal Arcton]

"Yeah..." Again, Cal scratched awkwardly at his stubble.

Well, one of them had to blink first. "It's almost like an ancient evil's just been awakened. Or something like that. I guess." He said blandly.

[Quinn Largo]

"Yuuuup," she said. "What do you think's going on with her? And this... ancient evil?"

OOC: Just as a heads up, each threat increases the cost of the item by 5%. The second chances reroll created 1 success, with 1 Threat.

"Yuuuup," she said. "What do you think's going on with her? And this... ancient evil?"

Cal grimaced, his features more expressive than usual. He shook his head. "I don't know. All sorts of things, I guess. None of them good. I don't..." He shook his head. "I guess I just don't understand."

He gave Quinn a wry smile. "Runi can feel the Force, you know. It's got something to do with that. So there's a lot about this that I don't understand."

[Quinn Largo]

"Really?" She faked sounding impressed by that bit about Runi being able to feel the force. "How much *do* you know about the Force?"
