"He want's me to race on my Dewback, or my Nexu..." At the mention of her, Gra'tua pounced on the closest Weequay who was unfortunet to be the closest to Maud'Dib. He screamed a little, before ending his howl's in a blood filled scream. Maud'Dib simply snapped his finger's after the giant kitten on steriod's was down mauling the guard.
"Come here Gra'tua...That's a good girl..." Maud'Dib then started petting the Nexu, like as if it couldn't rip off his face, or chew through his leg.

The Twi’lek sighed and followed after the female as she ran off. “Typical, you make sure someone will survive the night and they blame you for it.” He chuckled inwardly as he knew she had a right to be mad. It would be better to die here than to slowly starve or dehydrate though. It would seem the others however followed the pair to the same place though. “Ah I see the hunted have followed me. And I also see that as expected betrayal from the Hutt....again.” He walked carefully to Muad'Dib and pulled out some Bacta salve and rubbed it on him. “Heh you I like...so here this should help a bit.” His attention refocused back to Jabba and a small smile came upon his lips. “A race eh? Doesn’t sound too bad actually. I do expect my datapad back if we win though.”

"Well, I was wondering when you'd show up...Fricking time another bounty hunter showed up..." Maud'Dib said, a hilarious smile on his face.
"Well, Melly, I'm guessing it's you with the light saber... I need to talk to you, seeing how I know Jedi, and there trick's. If that's fine with you of course." Maud'Dib said cooly sitting against the wall, a hole about as deep as a microwave was next to him.
"Well...Jabba, I'll make the deal complete then. I'll race everyone here with my Dewback, while they all race in Pod Racer's. It might even make thing's even... Hell, I might make it my Nexu instead... If I do, I want the right to everything you owe my father, and me. And I want off this DAMN DIRTBALL." Maud'Dib said feeling abit better.
------
Jabba smiled cruelly.
"Dakar." Jabba said simply. He accepted the offer, knowing he'd win.
-----
Maud'Dib smiled, he was from a long line of bounty hunter's, all of which did the impossible or died trying. He would win, or die trying.

Byter had at first been struggling, trying to get back into the room full of woman, screaming. "No! Put me back! They had actually liked me for what I am!"
He struggled even more. "They thought I was sexy!"
----
Now, he was standing behind the group, moping. But, his ears perked when he heard the word "pod-race". He smirked and his gambling side took hold. He watched with interest as abba forced his 'godson' to use his beasts rather than a speeding pile of junk that could blow up at any moment. Jabba really did care.
Byter put his hood back into its original place, stroking his chin. "No way. I don't like that."
He strode forward. "A pod-race and our freedom depends on that cat? I don't think so."
The smuggler leaned in, his face dead serious. "I don't trust the dude anyway, so how 'bout this? You allow me and Melly over there to actually race in a pod as well as that guy on his cat, same stakes as before. But, I will bet my last thousand credits on us, giving you the stub. If we lose, you still can keep us as slaves, but if we win, you can have the money. That way, you would win either way."
(ALright guys, hope you're not confused. I had this idea for my next post and as I was typing it, my computer went out on me. So, I will still do the post but have it be much later wen he comes back in again)

"Look Byter... Unless you think YOUR gonna win, don't bet money, EVER." Maud'Dib said, now taking out a bandaged from a small case he had and starting to wrap the wound in it.
-----
Jabba laughed even more. How could this pink INSECT believe that Maud'Dib, a Jedi, and a bounty hunter were worth one thousand credit's... It was un-believeable! He was tempted to say no at first, but the thought of having them as slave's, and forcing them to do what ever he chose was almost worth it...
"Hmm...Dakar." Jabba said with an almost happy tone.
-----------
"Then tommorrow, at the race track is where we shall all meet then. I'll ride my Dewback, not the Nexu. And for your information Byter, that thing could rip YOUR head off if I gave the word.... I'm still waiting for it to TRY and rip mine off..." Maud'Dib said, getting on the giant steriod filled cat that was allowing him a ride.
"I suggest you all get some sleep, tommorrow will be full of carnage and ALOT of destruction..." Maud'Dib added, as the Nexu started toward's his room which was only two door's down.
"I'll pay for there rent Jabba. I won't mind"

"A Jedi? I'm not a Jedi..." Melly let out an annoyed sigh and folded her arms. Since everyone thought that's what she was, then so be it. They had better not expect any fancy Jedi tricks.
"Arn't you guys raising the stakes a little too high...and hey! Bet your own lives!"She was NOT happy with the thought of becoming a slave, especially at the fault of someone else. It would be worse for her because she was a female. Being chained to an oversized slug did not catch her fancy.
She looked at Byter. "You may be good looking, but you're an idiot." With a 'hmph' Melly turned away and followed after Maud'Dib. "Hey, you! Why are you doing all this? And who are you anyways?"

"I'm Maud'Dib, ex-bounty hunter. My family or at least my adopted one, has a long line of bounty hunter's. I inherited all there money when my father died. So, I saved up the money I earned, and there money, and eventually it became more than Jabba could handle, so for me to collect, it would cost him his palace, his pet's, his gun's, and everything else he own's. What I want is simple, I want off this dirt ball. And I'm going to do it with the bet, then collect the money Jabba owe's me. He's either going to go bankrupt, or he's going to put all 90 billion credit's he owe's my family in my families acount. After that, I'll be a lone drifter or at least wander with a credit card that only my DNA can use. So, what's your story? I know your not really a Jedi.... If you where, you'd have cut my head off already. Being trained by a Mando'ad isn't exactly a 'Warm welcome non-required'. Escpecially around Jedi. So what are you?" Maud'Dib asked simply. His Nexu yawned a little before looking over at Melly, and sizing her up.
"No Gra'tua, she's not on the menu..." Maud'Dib said looking down at his giant kitten on steriod's.

“An ex-bounty hunter you say? Heh...one never truly retires from that life.” Remarked shortly after Muad'Dib introduced himself. “It remains in your blood, a short of taint if you will.” His eyes sparkled a bit as he spoke about it. It was a dangerous profession but he found a sort of tainted honor among his work. “As for rent you need not pay for mine. I paid that...and a lot more earlier for some....business.”
He waved the ex-hunter his way. “Come you will bunk in my room. There is a spare room and there is something I wish to discuss with you.” He glanced shortly at Melly and back to Muad’Dib. “She will no doubt want to sleep with her partner anyhow.” He snickered softly at her expense. “And besides I have medical supplies with me. We need to make sure that wound doesn’t mess with the race since apparently I have been dragged into this.” He really didn’t mind that much. Even if they had lose he would go down fighting, rather than be a slave.

Melly gave him an odd look. He was making it hard to solve his problems, when the solutions were very easy. Even she was was able to get off the planet long ago. Granted, she had help. 90 Billion credits was certainly a lot...he would be set for many lifetimes. It would definitely make him a target of thieves, though.
She blinked at his question and looked away. "No, I'm certainly not a Jedi. I do look like one though, don't I?" She continued. "It might be kinda dumb, but people don't bug me if they think I'm a Jedi."
She looked over at the giant cat and instantly had a mind to pull her weapon on it. If, that is, it were to attack.
"I'm not really anything..I just do what I can to get by." Melly shrugged as if it was no big deal. "I prefer smuggling, cause I can be alone. As long as we're getting into life stories, I'll make it simple. My parents sent me away because I was force sensitive. But then..something happened and I ran away. When I got home my parents were already gone. From that point on I've been going wherever the ships take me! No adoptive families, no nothing. Yeah, it's hard. Still is. I don't plan on becoming Jabbas slave..so you'd better not mess anything up."

"Well, at least you knew your parent's... My adopted dad found me on Rhin Var in an abandoned citadel...It was... Wierd.... He said I had an aurora about me, it makes sense though... Somehow i was able to get a dangerous Nexu to become nothing more than a loveable kitten for me. Her name, Gra'tua mean's Vengeance in Mandalorian. I saved her from a butcher on some bag water planet, not even a day later she ate him. Hence her name. There arn't many animal's I can't befriend. People are a bit different however, I get thrown in with many, and there arn't many who have my back like I have there's. Now, don't worry, I know at least one of us will cross that finish line. So don't worry all right? Everything will be fine." Maud'Dib smiled kindly to her, she was cute, he'd give her that. But he knew she was going to be taken. How long it took would depend on her and her lover. But he wouldn't mind watching over her just so long as she didn't abuse him.

"You still had them, so you shouldn't mope about it." She shrugged at him. "Adopted or not, a family's a family." Melly nodded. "For someone who doesnt get along with people, your personality says differently." She caught his smile and blinked at him. "What?"
She paused for a few moments then continued. "I hope so. Either way, I doubt any of us will willingly become his slaves. I think all of you are crazy for even making this bet." Melly glanced at Byter, then back to Maud'Dib. "I hope you guys know what you're doing.."
Melly was super easy to get along with. Although stubborn at times, she meant well. She was a fighter..and would fight to the end. Once her trust was earned she could be a great asset. Betrayed, and she could be ones worst enemy.

Byter shrugged and followed his partner. He also noticed that crack at him and Melly by that Twi'lek and gave a small cough. That was uncalled for, but to be expected from someone barely even knowing them. By god, they had only just met that morning for crying out loud! He shook his head. People never changed.
He shrugged. "Pod racing? I knew how to pilot one of those since I was born. Underground pod racing is actually quite common on Coruscant."
He came to a stop. He pointed at a nearby door. "Im guessing this is are room?"

"Yeah, beside's, I think you'll be suprised by Dha, my dewback. Melly's room is next door, and mine is across the hall. Order what ever you want for room service, but I wouldn't take my chance's on the "Mystery Meat" of the day....When they say they'll put anything in there, they really do mean ANYTHING. And trust me, most of Jabba's food, it taste good, but you don't wanna know where his chef got it from..." Maud'Dib said, the Nexu stopping in front of his room. It yawned a little, and decided to watch Melly and Byter. She had a quizzical look on her face, wondering something that would neither be heard, or known to the humans around her.

"I'm sure some of us have eaten worse." She leaned against the wall and watched the others. She wouldn't be retreating to any rooms just yet. After all, she had been sleeping all day and wasn't even remotely tired. She figured one of the others had healed her while she was out. Why question a good thing?
"I'm sure Byter would want to have some private time with his new friends." She replied to Charlie after a moment, referring to the slaves he had dropped in on.
"I'm gonna go..have a look around." She nodded towards the others.

"They put human in there once, and another time bantha shit....Still think it's worse?Well...If you wan't I can go with, I'm pretty sure my wound's won't re-open or anything. Or at the least let Gra'tua come with you. The palace guard's are pretty scared of her, so having her around should get you a pass to anywhere you want... Excpet into the Rancor pit... It... Does have a little bit of an understanding with me, but it and I are not on a day-to-day friend schedule if you wanna know the truth...." Maud'Dib said with a shrug and looked over at Byter.
"I'm betting you REALLY want to pet her don't you... My Nexu..." He added, eyeing him like an adult eyed a child attempting to pet a rabid dog.
