such a cool start (open)

After what they'd done getting the night worker to safety was easy and they both seen her get to home base. Rebecca wondered why she was working here out in the sticks when there was better business in the west slums but now they could keep going north again.

Going north was still the plan but this leg of the journey was at street level as there wasn't many tall buildings together. You could see scenes that wouldn't have looked out of place from 'Escape from New York' or similar film. She could point that that great big tall building in the distance that she used as a compass point and not many people were paying them attention during this watchful walk.

"It's like this most of the time but you still have to be watchful. It dosen't take long to find trouble" she advised. Then added "we can stop shortly and get something alcoholic".

Rebecca could use a whip as well. A fiery one but one all the same. “I can do that too but it needs practice to do it right. It’s actually more of a distraction weapon that can end a fight in your favour” she suggested.

“If you’re starting off in fighting I’d suggest a knife or a baseball bat” she added wanting to set Lyric off on the right path. You start simple and work your way up. So she still kept leading the way north until she knew she’d found what they were looking for.

“There’s a bar round here” she suggested.

“There’s a baseball cage in the grounds of the fitness centre. That’s a good place to start but I show you a few pointers at the dance studio if you want” Rebecca suggested. “A standard wooden bat has reach and you can parry and hit quite hard with it”.

So she added “it’s a rough joint but manageable if you stick with me”. An accurate description once they walked in and the dimly lit bar with mismatched furnishing, slightly cold even in late summer and would have given the Mos Eisley cantina a run for its money. She could make a light sabre of sorts so that was another match up with that fictional watering hole.

In this particular den of wickedness Rebecca took a good look round as they entered. At least some of the patrons would have pistols and the rest would have knives along with the knowledge of how to use them. “I can show you round more after tonight. So what do you want to drink?” she posed as their presence was now noticed by some but they were being left alone for now.

So strolling casually to the bar she sized up any dangers here. Nothing she couldn’t handle.

Just getting something alcoholic would do Rebecca. She could also relax a little but still had to be alert in this bar as he building itself didn't look too promising. "They'll really be in world of pain if they mess with you" she replied taking this at face value. She opened the door and led the way into the bar which had this ambient noise level from contented patrons. They weren't even noticed until Rebecca spoke to the barman. That notice was quite brief as seeing Rebecca they had a feeling she wasn't to be messed with; part of that reason was the big knife she carried on her belt.

She placed their drink orders and passed over some greenbacks and recieved change in return. A booth was free not far from the bar. Having fun so far?"

If one was going to continue to have fun in this slum learning the rules would help. Trust was hard to earn and what they’d done already would mean trouble next time they tangled with that gang. On the plus side they’d get some credit from the gang who controlled this territory for looking after the night worker.

“I think we could be good friends. This part of the city is dangerous and when somebody dies here the body is rarely found; or it takes a while. Yet it is exciting all the same” Rebecca replied cheerfully drinking some of her beer. It wasn’t that good but it did stop her throat being dry. She recognised the label from a job in her native Canada so while not that good a beer it was it was a taste of home.

“I’m also sure you’ll keep doing things like this. The entire north slum is like this. Full of adventure and surprises” she added.

Rebecca gave the matter of a suit thought. Unless one was planning to be a vigilante you didn't really need one but stealth and comfort was important. Unless you really wanted to be something like Cat Woman.

"I would suggest something dark coloured and comfortable if you're doing this kind of exploring. It helps blend into the shadows and I'll get you a knife. I've worn stab proof body armour and didn't like it; it made me feel slower and less agile" she advised. That was her experience and she prefered the extra risk rather than be slowed down.

"Off course we can do this again. And find watering holes like this" she added with a smile. She liked having a friend in a strange land. One she'd make sure was equipped properly.
