[The marketplace wasn't exactly Brennan's preferred place to hang out during his free time, but it was the best place he knew of to pick up a few credits that didn't belong to him.

So he was stealing--sue him. Considering he was still unemployed, falling back on old habits had proven the best method of getting by as long as he was still stuck in Star Wars.

Thus far he'd managed to avoid getting caught, and he still stuck true to his philosophy that he only rip off people who looked like they probably deserved it. It wasn't exactly a noble philosophy by any stretch, but he was robbing people blind here so what do you expect?

By the time he's tucking his newest credit chip into the safety of his own pocket, Brennan is already scanning the assembled crowd for his next mark]

[ Looking up, Jason recognized the face in the crowd. He had met the guy the day he arrived. He had trolled him, really. He wondered if Brennan recognized him, or, if he went up to him -- he would. So, he tested his theory, tucking away a new acquired space fruit.

Licking his lips he meandered through the crowd. Huh, the guy seemed to be pretty intent on something. Jason stopped, peering over, tilting his head. ]

[It's kind of rude to stare, for the record. But it doesn't take Brennan long to experience that weird vibe you get when you're being watched, at which point he glances over in Jason's direction.

It takes a few seconds, but the other guy's face eventually registers--probably because Brennan hasn't been the most social butterfly since he woke up on this planet. The fact that he recognizes Jason as someone he's at least spoken to before makes this slightly less awkward, but not much. For all he knew, Jason had watched him ripping people off this whole time...

Time to head on over and find out. So, yeah, he does that]

Hey--Jason, right?

[reprobaverum]

[ His eyebrows raise as his confused expression softens into a smile. ]

Yeah. Hey. Brennan. [ He hopes. ] You seemed pretty -- intense, there.

[seneca]

Yeah. [Glancing back in the direction he just came from, before looking toward Jason again] I was supposed to meet someone but it doesn't look like they're going to show.

How's it going? [Deflect] I don't think I've heard from you since-- [Well, since he woke up hear naked and blasted that droid, but. He'll pause briefly] --It's been a while.

[reprobaverum]

Huh. Hate when that happens. [ He glances in the direction and then back. ] Actually, things're pretty good. They're better. I'm in a less...lashing out place. You?

[seneca]

Same. Well, I haven't run into anymore malfunctioning droids anyway.

[Since, no, he didn't lash out at that last one as far as Jason knows]

How'd that roommate search work out for you?

[reprobaverum]

Always a good thing. Can't count on droids that malfunction.

That didn't. Still roommateless. [ He sucks in a breath, shrugging. ]

[seneca]

I'm not a big fan in general. I pretty much avoid them, so that's probably why I haven't had any more blow up in my face.

[Plus, sentient robot things kind of creeped him out, but he's not going to admit as much out loud or anything]

Sorry to hear it. Keep at it though. Someone around here's got to want to upgrade from their apartment sooner or later, right?

[reprobaverum]

I don't...really know anybody with an affinity for droids.

[ No, because he is the very picture of a manly man. ]

Right. Maybe. It's not so bad, I guess. [ And he managed to get some semblance of a sex life. ] How's your place?

[seneca]

[Clearly]

It's not bad. My roommate's are pretty nice. Come to think of it, they're starting to move out on their own too.

[...]

Is there some alien cockroach infestation in the apartments that I don't know about or something that's making everyone want to move out?

[reprobaverum]

Yeah? Seems to be a trend. You know, I still have an opening. [ A tilt of the head. ] Did you ever find a job?

There are just better ones, I guess.

[seneca]

I've been doing odd jobs here and there. It pays the bills.

[With other people's money. :X]

What's so great about this place you've got your eye on, anyway?

[reprobaverum]

Well, it's bigger.

[seneca]

I figured as much. Not used to apartment living?

[reprobaverum]

Hey, I was a dorm living guy. But, before that there might've been a big house.
