  Charlie Foxtrot! (Dante and Jago)

Dante leaned back in the chair, ignoring the ominous creak from the durasteel alloy legs. His Katarn class armour alone weighed twenty kilograms, and he was somewhat surprised that the chair hadn't collapsed under its weight. Still, the Drunken Spacer bar was probably used to unusual clothing statements from its patrons, and had adjusted accordingly. Everywhere Dante looked, he saw the glint of body armour or holstered blasters. He wasn't even the only one with Katarn-class armour: he saw what looked like a Trandoshan in a repainted and heavily modified suit of the commando armour.

Dante blinked, glancing at the level of liquid remaining in his glass, then looked again. The lizard was still there, sipping some unidentifiable blue liquid from a glass. Shaking his head slightly, Dante returned to his drink.

A trando in Katarn armour, of all things. Now I've seen everything...

The ice clattered on the bottom of the glass as Dante drained the last of the nectar in a single gulp. Licking his lips, the trooper got the attention of the drink server, an aging WA-5 service droid. It turned its neck completely around and addressed Dante even as it served drinks to the table behind it.

"Kee ku yocola?"

Sighing to himself, Dante replied in Huttese, his voice becoming sore from the attempt to replicate the more guttural syllables.

"Mee yocola..." Giving up after a few seconds of trying to remember the Huttese word for nectar, Dante finished the sentence in basic.

"...another Felucian Nectar."

"Frenkini.."  the droid stuttered mid-word, beeped a paragraph or two of droidspeak, then finally reverted to basic.

"Away, sir. Would you like something else?"

Dante simply stared, and the droid broke eye contact after a few seconds before spinning around and rushing rather fast for the back. Massaging his throat, the gunnery sergeant replaced his glass on the battered table, muttering about malfunctioning vocabulators and cheapskate bar owners.

OOC:
Have fun with the (somewhat) multilingual service droid.
Your turn, Jago.

Jago Ballium was at the bar after a hard day at the academy. Must my instructor be so harsh? he thought to himself. He took a quick look around and mutter to himself,"Where is that server droid now?" when he spotted it he called out to it. It then made its way over to him and asked in what seemed Mando'a

"Epar'yaim chuun Kai'tome."

Jago then sighed and responded in basic in hopes that it would understand,"Another Corellian Whisky."

"Whisky. Kachooka ah kaleno orina." The droid responded in an unknown language to him.

"I swear these droids get stupider every day. A Corellian Whisky. C-O-R-E-L-L-I-A-N WHISKY." Jago responded in a quite hateful manner.

"Yes sir. Mhi me'dinui an." The droid responded in half basic and half Mando'a then headed away to the bar and the drink stations in the back.

Jago happened to take another look around and spotted someone else looking at him who was also in Katarn armor. Guess it is an oddity to see a Trandoshan in Katarn Armor considering the Clone Commandos used them to hunt his race. honestly I use the armor because of that reason. if they can use it with such efficiency then why not I? He then relaxed a bit and waited for the server droid to return.

"Di'kutla  beskar'ad!" Dante spat as the partly functional droid as it clumsily tried to stagger past his table and instead slammed full on into it. His glass of nectar skidded an inch across the durasteel surface and came to a precarious stop with almost half its base above nothing but air. That was when the droid's previously outstretched arm
