Getting Out Into Coruscant [Friday morning into Saturday afternoon]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin pointed out of one of the vaulted Temple windows towards the busy cityscape in front of them.



"And that is Coruscant. Clubs, restaurants, shopping, incredibly egotistical politicians, useless bureaucrats...it's all out there." He pointed to the nearest public transport pickup location. "Don't go lower than the mid-levels of Coruscant unless you're looking to disappear permanently," he warned. "There are a trillion beings on this planet, and it has a thriving underworld who are as ruthless as any you'll ever come across."

"It's not totally meaningless," Alec said, giving Dean a pointed look.

Reaching the stage, Alec looked up and grinned at the girl. From what he'd been able to get in space-money, he pulled out a decent amount - better to overtip than undertip, really.

"Okay, meaningnless is probably the wrong word," Dean admitted. "Recreational sex is probably a better description."

He pulled out his own money, noticably depleted after his shopping trip, but still with enough left to provide some hopefully respectable tips.

The dancer gave them a bright smile and made both of their tips disappear into some part of her costume. She blew them a kiss and shimmied away.

"Coruscant's got quite a night life," Alec said happily, watching her go. He glanced back at Dean and smirked slightly. "Recreational is a good word, yeah.

Re: Night Life!

Dean smirked back. "And you get more recreation than most people." He whistled in admiration as the girl did a particularly flexible move on the pole. "Amazing night life. Very... inspirational."

Alec nodded in agreement, grinning. "Too bad we'll probably never get here again - I could get used to a city like this one."

Dean looked at Alec curiously. "Would you want to stay if you could?"

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I dunno," he said, shrugging. "Maybe for a while. No way Manticore would find me out here anyway."

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, there is that. It would be one less thing for you to worry about." The conversation was bothering Dean in ways he wasn't ready to look too closely at.

"Plus, flying transport, things to do, people to meet," Alec said, looking thoughtful.

Re: Night Life!

"No one to watch your back, though," Dean said.

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec glanced at Dean and smirked slightly. "That's true. Besides, here I'm not all that special."

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean snorted. "And being special is that important to you?"

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I like standing out," he said, grinning.

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Not to make your head any bigger than it already is, but standing out is not a problem I see you having much," Dean said, smirking.

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec snickered. "Lot more people here. And the Jedi are apparently pretty special to a man." He shrugs. "Guess I'll just stick to Fandom for now."

"There's worse places to be, mummies, jello dragons and voodoo curses aside."

"And I've got friends there, weird as that is," he said, smiling slightly.

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, almost like a real person," Dean teased.

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec snorted and poked him in the shoulder. "Shut up."

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, that's a good thing," Dean protested. "When you first came to Fandom you didn't even have a name. Now you have name, friends, dates and other... recreation, scrapbook and milkshakes. Not bad for a few months."

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, imagine what could happen if I'm there for a whole year," Alec said, for a moment even looking excited.

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well you'll probably get a birthday party for one, considering all the hints you dropped during the Seahorse party," Dean teased.

Re: Night Life!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I was just trying to think of something that'd make everyone drink," Alec said, though his grin was entirely too wide to be really innocent.

Re: Night Life!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh, right." Dean pasted on a thoughtful look. "Y'know, Sammy's birthday is just a few days before yours; maybe we can throw you a party together, now that you're getting along..."
