"Well, they did try to kidnap me and *force* me to fight. But we came to an arrangement instead. We had a very good parlay."

Roxi's own smile, in contrast to that of the other woman, remained firmly in place.

"It's on the moon," she said, meeting her expectation halfway. After all, while she was *about* to fight a gundark on the moon, it hadn't happened *yet*. "It's... I mean I guess it's not the sort of a place a librarian gets to go to much. Pirates don't read much."

"Well..." she was spilling the beans that shouldn't be spilled. But who cared? It'd be *fine*. Probably. "It's not technically *on* the planet."

Roxi didn't know a whole lot. But she knew how to finish a brawl. And how to start one. Starting a fight in a rough cantina or two might not seem like the obvious way to recruit, but people needed a way to blow off some steam. And once they had the hang of it, some wanted more. And you'd think getti...

Roxi had been in the crowd, somewhere, probably half asleep; woken up by the sound of applause and forced to remember why she was here; just to be on the safe side, she started clapping along with everyone else, a confused look on her face... Oh right, she... still wasn't entirely sure of the specif...

"Hey, they're not street fights. There's a dome and pit and everything. It's legit!"

She seemed almost offended by the insinuation that she was doing some low level streetfights.

"And I'll be fighting for money!" she said, giving an excited thumbs up.

"Oh uh, black hair, black beard, black mustache. Human."

It was a very descriptive description she was giving; but if he'd pass into her field of view she'd at least give a headnod in that direction.

Sol studies the woman. He hasn't been particularly scared of her, but she had some experience it seemed. She had mentioned a group before...what were they again? "I'm not exactly a stranger to violence. The crowd is a new thing though. My employers before I came here usually didn't like witnesses."...

"I'll put some feelers out," she said with a smirk, as if she was making some inside joke, "I'll let you know. And you should let me know if someone's late on an... overdue checkout?" She had no idea what an overdue checkout was. Sounded like something criminal, though. Which made it fit right up he...

She laughed at that. A very hard, but friendly laugh.

"I would destroy you," she said, as the laughter suddenly died. She then slapped him on the shoulder. "I'd hate to have to kill you though. The crowds, they get a little bloodthirsty sometimes, and not everyone walks out alive."

"Well, I'd need to ask around to see who'se interested first I guess. I know, the doctor fellow was maybe interested as well. But he'd be doing your job. Plus the whole doctoring thing if we need it. But then, he didn't bring me this info, so I feel like you should have dibs. But then what if you ge...

"Uh," she realized her mistake, "but then... I'd probably end up having to fight you. And that would be sad. Because these fights are pretty brutal, you know."

"Oh, I hadn't actually even really thought about it... been kind of busy."

The question obviously took her off-guard.

"Uh... when'd be good for *you*?"

She shrugged. "Well, I figure Varina might want in on this, and if not I might find some others instead. So there should be more than just the two of us carrying stuff out."

"Fights? You're getting paid for fights?" Solork can't help but be interested. "Wait, do you mean that people have been paying you introduce Mr. Hydrospanner to non-paying customers' kneecaps, or running off bandits, or..." "Oh, no it's totally legit!" It totally wasn't. "It's like a... it's like a...

"I might be coming into some credits soon," she said, somewhat surprisingly perhaps given her history of shaking down librarians for pocket change. "I mean, if it's *really* neccessary. I got to spend that on protection for myself too."

"What sort of favors am I expected to do anyway? And how much would slicer gear cost anyhow?"
