*The Bisikh District, located south of Matai, was the area of the city that acted as the main resort area of Khagarbhan. It was separated in two areas. North Bisikh beach, which contained a few amusement parks, expensive restaurants, piers for people to fish at, and marinas for boating. And South Bisikh beach, which contained a few parks, as well as where the majority of hotels, motels, beach houses, and restaurants were located. Next to the beaches itself was the Bisikh Ocean, which got its name from it's formation. As it came into the shore, due to the land's formation which had high mountain walls on the left and right side, the region flattening out as it met the middle. The place where the ocean and the land meet looked like the head of an 'arrow' as it gently washed up upon the shores. The waters on most days would be calm, blue green in color, with many often finding themselves sitting on the lovely white sandy shores, getting lost in the beauty of nature. Off in the distance about one mile away from the beach itself in the ocean was a man-made island with a gargantuan statue of the person known as Tanith Desaevio, who formerly governed Khagarbhan. The statue of her wearing elegant robes, having long hair, as her left arm and it's hand was extended toward the city waving with it's palm opened.*

*Jade looked around with excited eyes. This place was even better for grabbing some loose credits. With everyone spending away on motels and the parks, there shouldn't be a limit to what she could gather. She took her time looking around, taking in the sights for awhile. No point in jumping in and stealing anything until she was certain of escape routes and the sheer enjoyment of sightseeing. It was a bustling place to say for sure, full of life. She rather enjoyed the feeling of being here.
A few hours passed before she decided it was time to get to work. The sun was setting and people were slowly starting to disperse. She would be able to make one more grab today. She looked around, not sure who would be the best target. Finally, she settled on a woman who looked to be in her mid-thirties. Didn't seem to be the richest around but she'd have to make due. Once again, she threw on her innocent face as she always did and progressed towards the woman. Just a bump and her hand slid to the pouch at her side. Puling apart, she slipped the chip behind her as she looked at the woman apologetically.*
=Jade=
"Oh, I'm so sorry, ma'am.
*The woman gave a warm smile before turning to her completely.*
=Woman=
"It's quite alright young one." *She looked at Jade and took in her appearance.* "Why you look like you haven't eaten in awhile. Perhaps I could get you something?"
=Jade=
"Oh, no. That's quite alright."
=Woman=
"No, I insist."
*The woman began reaching into the pouch Jade had taken the chip from. Now things were about to get interesting. The woman dug a bit before her eyes turning wide and she looked to Jade. Jade just gave a quick smile and shrug before turning and running off into the crowd. All she could hear was the woman crying thief and running after her. Jade wasn't worried, however. She had mapped out her route. Quickly she turned into an alley. Glancing behind her and seeing no one looking, she Force Jumped onto the side of the building, bouncing back and forth until she was on the rooftop. She looked over in time to see the woman and a couple security guards run into the alley. They looked baffled as they were sure she ran here.
She watched for a few minutes before the guards and woman gave up and left. She giggled to herself as she turned and made her way across the rooftops. She had made a few good hauls today. Now it was time to retire. She'd have to hurry and get things set. The woman got a look at her, which could be a problem. Soon she'd be wanted for stealing. Perhaps it'd be best to gather her things and lay low for just a bit. She had gathered enough credits in the day that she could.
Jumping off the building, she kept herself to the shadows until she reached the spot she left her bag. She gathered it up, tossing the credits inside before heading off. It was a shame too. She would have very much enjoyed running around some of the rides at the park. Well, perhaps another time.*

After a few months of traveling around and getting nowhere Blumpo found himself on Contruum, most of the time standing in the kitchen of one of North Bisikh Beach's most expensive restaurants, but not at the grill mind you, he was at the sink washing dishes and listening to music waiting for the day to be over. Day in and day out he would stand in the back of the kitchen hidden away washing and scrubbing and spraying and rinsing and drying over and over again, he hated it. But being an employee of one of the ritziest joints in town had some silver linings to it, he got to eat expensive food for free if there was some left at the end of the day and more importantly he got to pay his mom's medical bills in full and on time, even if it did leave his pockets empty at the end of the day.
But at the end of the day he walked down the beach watching the waves roll in and the sun set for his peaceful, but brief, break before he went home to go to bed and get up in time for his other job. With his mom's bills draining what he made at his first job Blumpo had to work a second job to support himself working for room and board, this however was a job he looked forward to every day, he was the cook at a little mom and pop restaurant on the south side. He didn't make much but the owners were nice to him, the customers liked him, and no one ignored or acted like they were better than him. He was even a little famous around the south side of Disikh. The owners even rented him their extra room and treated him like part of their family. It felt like he was back at home with his mom sometimes, but then again sometimes it just felt lonely. She was his best friend, and for a long time his only friend. Which is why he was working so hard to keep her alive, so that he could hold on to her for as long as he could.
The irony of course that Blumpo didn't see was that he was working so hard to keep his mom around so he could be with her and he wasn't seeing her at all. He was fighting a losing battle though, Fester Lung was terminal and only her treatments were keeping her alive but they were so expensive. Maybe he didn't know or maybe he didn't want to know, but either way he was set on beating the disease. He tried to keep the thoughts of what she was going through buried though and instead remembered her as she was before she got sick.
And so at the end of his day he found himself on the beach once again, watching the sun set as the waves rolled in with the wind from the water blowing his long, curly hair to the side. He found himself thinking about his mom, wondering how her treatments were going and missing her just a little more than usual.

At the moment, she had her flats held in one hand, a cigara in the other, enjoying the feel of the warm sand between her toes. Her weapons and equipment had been left at the flat she had temporarily rented with Cal during their operations on Contruum in the post-battle reconstruction effort that was still going on around the city. People of all shapes and sizes were enjoying the beach in groups, saddening Lilli slightly as it reminded her of how alone she felt at the moment.
Taking a drag of the cigara, Lilly continued walking along the beach and contemplated what the next couple of weeks of her life were likely to consist of. The rest of the fleet had already left for Mandalore, where some sort of offensive was being planned in cooperation with the Mandalorian Clans and their leader, Mand'alore Ashrah Intalbo. There had been no details of the plan published over the GALCOM net as of yet, though Lilli heavily suspected it would involved the Jedi. Mandalorians everywhere had been itching for a new target in the wake of the wars between the Jedi and the Sith of the last century. Her father had often talked about getting their revenge on the Force Users that had manipulated her people for their wars over the centuries, though Lilli had never taken such talk seriously. War was what her people had been born for, and she could hardly take such manipulations as an offense.
Feeling suddenly tired under the weight of such topics, Lilly looked about for somewhere to sit and enjoy the last of her cigara. A rather rotund human male of roughly her own age was standing along the beach, gazing out over the darkening waves. For reasons unknown to Lilli, the man seemed to grasp her attention, although he couldn't have known she was standing there. Suddenly craving any sort of personal interaction, Lilli approached the man from behind and stood beside him, enjoying the feel of the wind as it tossed itself through her shoulder-length hair. She reached up and took another pull of the cigara, letting the smoke fill her lungs before she expelled it through her nostrils."What's on your mind?" She asked, looking over at the large man beside her. He had a kind, somber face, etched with worries Lilli couldn't begin to count. She had no reason to believe he would wish to share his troubles with a stranger, though Lilli herself knew that sharing with anyone was a better alternative when you had no one. |

As the sun was setting and he was deep in thought, Blumpo heard the a voice next to him asking him what exactly it was that he was thinking about. He wasn't sure if it was real or not though, he sometimes had vivid daydreams when he gets lost in thought. Nothing crazy mind you, just dreams, like seeing a pretty girl and she talks to him or something like that. But it just so happened that this was a real person standing here next to him that caused him to snap out of his thoughts for a moment.He turned at the hip to look at her and then turned once again to view his other side and all around him before realizing that they were alone.He immediately became nervous, it wasn't everyday that someone just came up to him and never a girl, he didn't even believe that she was actually talking to him.He turned once again to look at her. Um ah, are you talkin' to me?
His voice echoed his disbelief. And of course he wasn't sure how to answer her question even if she was talking to him, it was a very private thing that she was asking about after all.
