Welcome to the Neighbourhood

WHO: Cad Bane and open to housemates, neighbours and visitors
WHERE: De Chima 004, house and neighbourhood
WHEN: All through this week
WHAT: Various meetings and conversations
WARNINGS: n/a


Cad Bane wasn't one for casual socialising. Yes, he could deal with such things but more often than not he felt people got in the way more than were helpful. He could work with a group but whenever possible, he preferred to work on his own where he could just get the job done as efficiently as possible.

Then there was the downtime and at the moment there was a lot of that. He had a few things going on but nothing as intensive as back in the galaxy he'd left behind. Finding himself with housemates wasn't a particularly promising discovery but for now he'd managed to keep out of their way, coming and going at odd hours and therefore missing them.

Today and over the coming week, he was making more of an effort to meet and greet people in the vicinity of the house he had ended up in. It probably would be smart to make some contacts. It was possible that some of them may even prove to be useful in the future.

Usually he will be seen in his alien form - all tall and lanky with blue skin, red eyes and that ever present Wild West outfit.

'Odd hours' are a good time for him and Cassian to run into one another.

Cassian's just returning to 003 when he sees the door open of 004. He takes note of movement and sentients around him as a matter of course, but the sight of this one makes him pause.

This neighbor looks like a Duros. Which means convergent evolution from multiple origins (of course possible, look at humans); or, at some point, a fellow member of their old galaxy has moved in right next door.

In the massive unlikelihood of so many of them sharing an origin in dimensionality let alone cosmography let alone time, winding up in the same housing block is hardly taxing the law of large numbers. But with Hux's existing interest in Cassian, burgeoning interest in Jyn, and recent… reevaluation of Kay… plus the phantom menace [sorry] of Constellation and Cassian having a hard time figuring out whether his tendency to see similarities between its statements and those of Dooku is him trying or trying not to impose it…

Letting an observer know they've been observed back can simply drive them to better secrecy, or be replaced. But…

Coming closer, without committing himself to #3's path, Cassian quietly called greeting. One that was an idiom in a dominant dialect of the Duro sector.

Cassian nodded, taking one step further before stopping a respectful (safe) distance away. "Sorry to be presumptuous. Can be difficult identifying even common origins here. Wanted to see if you knew it at all."

Cassian shook his head. "I grew up on Sullust. Still, in the scope of the Porter's range…" A slight smile in the dark. "Hello, neighbor."

The Duros, Cad Bane. "The bounty hunter," said Cassian, softly to avoid shouting it to the world, but like a verbal salute, to show that he knew.

Almost no one, on the other hand, would have heard of— "Cassian Andor."

Not in his life. …Nor many after it. Only those at the heart of the Rebellion. As far as he would expect. Even if anyone in Bane's line of work had been hired to go after Cassian, it wouldn't be by that name.

And still: so strange to answer such questions truthfully. It took more wherewithal than a cover would have. But if Bane were to report on him to the likes of Hux, the truth would be the message: I am not fighting a war. I have nothing to do with you.

"I give self-defense lessons," said Cassian, "in Maurtia Falls." The follow-up and you? in a headtilt.

A wry smile. "My provided job was at a bakery. I almost lasted an hour. I respect that work and housing are provided." It's more than some planets do for their own veterans, let own arguable invaders. "More still that it's no mark against one for not keeping them. …Are you of the unlucky many whose job seems to have been chosen for humor?"

It's been a couple days since Eda moved in the De Chima Apartment number 004, and she's minded her own business so far but when you see a fuckin' blue alien in a wild west outfit... you take notice. Why hasn't she noticed such a person in her apartment before? She really needs to pay attention.

"Huh, hey there."

"Yeah... I just came over here a few weeks ago." She can't believe she didn't notice a big ass blue alien in cowboy gear. Eda will tentatively offer a hand to shake...

"Name's Eda, and you?"
