Trax punches in the comlink code. A few moments later, the signal connects.

[OOC: Nim: The call is using a code you gave A'ka Bem, but you do not recognize the connection ID.]

The call picked up and a rough female voice answered in Huttese. "This call may be monitored and recorded for training purposes. Nim speaking, how may I help you?" Clearly the woman was signalling that she did not trust the security of the connection and possibly the one making it.

"Hey Nim, the name's Fias." The spec replied in the language of the Hutts.

"I'm trying to track down some information and a mutual friend said you might be able to help."

Silence hung for a moment as she seemed to consider his words. "Meet me at Jidoba's Sweet Meat in 15."


The call promptly disconnected.

"Ah..." Trax tried to speak but the call was disconnected.

"Well, she's going to be a peach." he mumbled to himself as he looked up the location of Jidoba's.  He had two more stops to make but fifteen minutes would likely make it tight to do both.  One would be to see what he could do about replacing the pea shooters he was currently carrying.  The other was to get a forged permit to carry heavier pistols without raising any alarms.

[OOC: Craig, can Trax reach either of those places and still make it to Jidoba's with time to spare?]

Looking up the location, Trax finds it's quite a distance away. Still in this sector, thankfully, so no security checkpoints, but he'd have to hustle to make it in 15 minutes. If he makes any stops that are not immediately on the way, he'll be late. He'll have to move at a jog as it is.

Perhaps if you absconded with / hired some transportation, you might be able to make a couple of stops if they're not too far out of your way.

Trax almost growled when he realized where the meeting point was going to be.  Be nice, he reminded himself.  He'd told A'ka he'd be polite, which apparently might turn out to be more of a challenge than he anticipated.

Moving quicker than he cared to he headed to the public trams.

[OOC: Heading straight there.]

The tram was a couple of minutes late, so you ended up having to break into a brisk jog to get there in time. You come around the corner and catch the first glimpse of the place. It looks like a dive - some sort of eating establishment with garish, flickering holoprojections of some twilek female eating something over and over again.

You enter the place, and here a soft tone as you pass through the door. The first thing you smell is hot grease. The second thing you smell is sweat, followed closely by grime. There are about a half dozen patrons in the place, eating some sort of crusty meat. A couple glance up at you as you walk in, but you get no alarm bells from them.

There is an Aleena working in the kitchen, wearing a filthy white apron. He is male, by the sound of his voice, but it is hard to tell. You've seen them before, usually in a gaggle of at least half a dozen individuals. Seeing one alone is rare. You can see two servers, one female human (or near human - it's hard to tell sometimes) and a Rodian female. They both are wearing a brassiere with the "Jidoba's Sweet Meat" logo on each cup. Both are wearing extremely short shorts and mid-calf boots.

[Something like this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b3/f3/3a/b3f33ad910f8f23e814b7fc19aa1581e.jpg]

Then, after a bark from the Allena in the kitchen, a creature emerges. You've seen one before - a holovid of one winning the Miss Coruscant pageant, but you cannot remember her species. She is wearing the same uniform as the other two servers.

[She looks like this: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/darth/images/a/a7/Snoots.jpg]

She walks up to you in what can only be described as a slinky manner.

"My, my," she purrs. "Aren't you a sweet thing? Come have a seat and let Kaleesa look after you, hmm?"  She grabs your arm and leads you to a nearby booth. The table is covered in some sort of plant material pressed into a sheet, and there is a roll of it on a hangar next to the wall.

She looks you over, then puts a hand on her hip and leans over suggestively. "You want a small, medium or large, sweet thing?"

Good moods and Trax were a rare thing together.  Typically his moods started off indifferent and either stayed like that or got worse.  By the time he reached the eatery, indifference had left him, good had long waved him bye, and one could almost swear there was a dark cloud forming over him.

Be polite, be polite, he chanted to himself over and over in his head.  You told A'ka you'd be polite.  So it was with great effort that he kept his mood in check.  Who knew who this Nim could be.

He glanced at the other patrons briefly after Kaleesa as for his order.  Guess there was only one thing on the menu.

"Give me a medium, something strong to wash it down with, and I'll take a large to go."

She... um... smiles, I guess? It's hard to tell with her lips being on the end of a proboscis.

"Oh, honey, my shift ends in four hours, but if you can wait I'm game." She winks and turns to walk towards the kitchen, wiggling her posterior and humming a pleasant melody.

The waitress's response caught the former hunter completely off guard and he was left a little dumbstruck as she walked off.  But the feeling wore off as the seconds ticked by and he returned to his regular slowly worsening mood self.

A few minutes later, Kaleesa comes back. She sets down a plate of what looks like deep fried bloodworms and puts a basket with different liquids in squeeze bottles next to it. She then sets down a tall wide glass of some sort of foamy effervescent amber liquid. Next, she sets down a disposable storage container. "Fifty credits, sweet thing."

Trax pulled out a cred stick and handed it to the waitress as he eyed the meal.

While you are considering the food in front of you, the human female walks slowly over to your table with accentuated hip movements. She has a jug of some brown liquid in one hand and a relatively clean white mug in the other. She and bends over at the waist to speak to you, and is in danger of spilling out of her top. She purses her lips a moment before asking, "Want some caf, honey?"
