Get the essentials

New thread by: Enfforlife

You were dropped here with clothes and intentions but its almost a western era here, which meant protection first. You don’t really know the market for weapons and you still struggle a little when reading aurebesh, the basic writing in this galaxy. A blaster should be first. As much as you’d want a lightsaber, they are rare, expensive, and require training. Blasters are the go to. Because of the Clone War that’s happening, it isn’t hard to find their blasters. A good thing too, that they are low price and one of your favorites out of the many others. Also, some other useful things could be bought here. A satchel, helmet, speeder?

Ah! You finally stumble upon a blaster store, luckily not some back alley stand, an actual respectable building. You step inside as the door slides open. The four armed creature looks at you with a smile. “Come in! What can I do for you?” He points you to a case of his finest and racks of miscellaneous.

“Well, a blaster. Then, we’ll see about some other stuff.” You scour the many guns on the racks, most of them looking like shit bounty hunter weapons. Finally, you find a collection of clone blasters and halt. You examine the surprisingly good conditioned guns.

“Oh! A fan of the old DC series, eh? Good reliable weapons. War based, but some of my personal favorites. I’ll give you a price you couldn’t refuse on them!” The store owner called. You grabbed a pistol and medium rifle. He priced them and then grabbed two holsters. One was for the rifle to go on the back and the other was attached to an old trooper belt.

“How did you get a clone’s belt.”

“People sell me other things. Battlefield items. Hopefully, you ain’t offended by it.”

“Not at all. But on top of these, I’d like to see any helmets or satchels.” The alien guided you to room of bags and armors. Several nice backpacks and satchels were lined up and uniform armors and gear were in peak condition. You grabbed a brown leather satchel and slung it around your shoulder and head. Next, you found a new clone helmet, wanting to keep the tren going in your weapon choice and attire. You also hid a comlink gauntlet in you satchel, not wanting to spend too much.

“It totals to a solid 1200 credits. Spendy, but quality. Keep buying or start selling to me, I’ll consider you a regular. I give discounts to my best regulars. Anything else before you leave?”

“My planet wrote in different text. I can read this, but not well. Anywhere I can get fluent in it?” You slide on the helmet and buckle the belt.

“Book’s on the house.” He threw you a book that contained every written language, a translation, and small dictionary portion. You left and put the gauntlet onto your right forearm. You noted the store’s name, Leo’s, and carried on.
