2 Gathering Information
A young man with sickly pale ashen skin, sunken eyes that are a testament to several sleepless nights, his clothing was nothing special just a white shirt with a tan overcoat, and a tan pair of tan pants. His clothing seemed somewhat warned out. A LL-30 blaster pistol was strapped to his right side, a single power pack was strapped to the left side of his belt.
He looked at the various signs as if he was trying to find some place in particular, after a half an hour of searching he entered what appeared to be a Cantina due to the loud music being able to be heard just outside the fairly large building. The young man entered and not too long after he saw various aliens from Twilek dancers wearing nothing more than a bikini, to a trio of intoxicated Talz the biggest of them wore heavy plate armor with the design resembling a gladiators it had large puldrons with various spikes paired with a right arm guard that had a circle shaped portrusion right in the middle of his forearm the armor was made out of a light brown colored metallic material.
The chest piece of his armor had an engraving of a snake wrapping around a broken moon on the rightside of his chest. A large glaive was sheathed on his back. The one on the right had two short swords sheathed on his back, with nothing more than a pair of poorly made cloth pants and shirt, with a partial hard leather chest piece with a built in right pouldron that covered the rightside of his upper body. The one on the left wore the same basic clothing except he had a long barrel blaster rifle slung onto his back that had no scope.
The young man then looked at the band playing right now their horn player a Kitonak with fat rolls on his stomach and its head shaped like a penis it wore nothing more than a brown pair of cloth pants.
A one meter tall Ortolan drum player who had alot of energy for his small stature considering how fast he hit the various drums and cymbals , three Bith playing saxophones each wearing black turtle neck sweaters and grey pants their black unblinking eyes watched the audienceas they played, and an Ithorian Pianist who wore a black turtle neck sweater designed specificaly for his species and the same grey pants as the Bith. The music was pleasant on the ears and made a nice atmosphere for the bar.
The young man then made his way to one of the stools directly in front of the bar. The bartender was a Toydarian his appearance was rather well kept compared to other Toydarians on the planet. His wings are beating so fast that all the average human would see is a blur, his trunk is hangig right over his snaggle toothed maw. Adorning his face was that slimy smile that most buissnessmen had.

[POV Darth Nihilus]
As I sat down I saw that the Toydarian was flying right infront of me awaiting for me to order presumably; I simply put the credits on the counter I didn't feel like wasting my breath on small talk with a bartender I will more than likely ever see again.
"There's some information I'd like and if you can suppy that information, well you'll be compensated appropriately."
I was feeling pretty confident that the money hungry Toydarian would gladly take my offer, if there's one thing I know about Toydarian's is they're in general extraordinarily greedy from every interaction I've ever had with one.
I watched as the Toydarian greedily took the credits and stuffed them in his coat pocket.
"So what do you want to know?"
'I should first figure out the current state of affairs of the galaxy as a whole, considering I haven't been able to sense any jedi since my revival.'
"What is the current political state of the republic?" I asked knowing that if the republic didn't exist anylonger that I'd undoubtedly garner suspicion, but I needed the information.
"Well with the recent battle on Geonosis has left the senate planning their moves after most of the jedi strike team was wiped out by the droid army the separatists revealed."
'So in the end you succeeded, your order has been reborn from the remnants of the old but that matters little; you've only delayed the inevitable destruction.'
'But it seems it maybe worth meeting the leadee of the separatists considering we have a common enemy, aswell as they have already killed several jedi.'
"Who is the leader of the separtist army?"
"Count Dooku seems to be orchestrating several conflicts with the aide of Nute Gunray to weaken the republic and so far it seems to be succeeding."
'Well if I were to meet the leaders I would more than likely will have to make a name for myself so I don't start our first interaction with me murdering some of his allies.'
'Bounty Hunting could prove suitable, considering I will earn money, reputation, and most of all I could use force drain and gradually regain some of my lost strenth. After hours of inhabiting this body I realize how much of my power I've lost, I can't even sense the jedi right now.'
"Where would I go to register as a bounty hunter?"
"I think you owe me something first." The Toydarian spoke as a smirk creeped its way onto his face.
"Fine, here's the credits now tell me where do I go If I want to register myself as a bounty hunter?" I spoke out in an annoyed tone as I slid the credits to greedy bug; as I didn't wamt to cause a commotion as of right now.
"You can register yourself in Mos Eisley can't miss the place its hard to miss if you go north from here."
I put the last 100 credits on the table and stand up from my seat heading towards the exit with 500 credits less than I came in with.
And I simply left there was no need for pleasantries, and I planned on keaving for Mos Eisley as soon as Possible. I traveled past the various buissness heading straight towards the landing area to where my ship was.
