Now that I've gotten Sheegan mad at me, any changes to his affection shouldn't remove the pet acquisition flag. Earning that many credits seems like it would be really difficult, even if I got my friends to help me. Maybe there's a way I can get out of this altogether!
</span>
Cady glances at the sabacc cards on the crate.
<span class="mu-i">
Yes! If there's one thing these crime lord types love, it's a high-stakes bet!
</span>
Cady's eyes shift from the cards up to Sheegan and she grins. "How about a double-or-nothing sabacc game?"
For a few seconds the room is silent but then Sheegan starts to chuckle and a second later the others start to laugh. When Sheegan stops, the room goes silent again.
<span class="mu-i">
Too intense!
</span>
"Can you believe the nerves this kid has?" Sheegan's toothy grin stretches out and then Cady flinches when he looks at her again. "Take a seat." He eases his bulk down onto another crate. "Deal her in, Fiver."
The spindly droid wobbles its head and its optics rattle around in the sockets and then they focus on the cards strewn over the makeshift table. The droid's arms haltingly reach forward over the pile, but then it hunches forward and its hands become a blur. Fiver looks up at Cady as it shuffles. "This game will be played with Nar Shaddaa Changeup rules."
"Um..." Cady glances down at her cards.
<span class="mu-i">
I have no idea what these cards mean! In the Star Wars setting, sabacc is a card game played by characters when the plot calls for a gambling scene, but to avoid writers having to actually create a unique card game, sabacc has an infinite number of variable rules and the cards themselves are miniature display screens that change value during the game!
</span>
(She's still looking down at her cards.)
<span class="mu-i">
Am I even holding them the right direction?!
</span>
Fiver's head wobbles and it lays down two cards. "Dealer up."
Nazar glances at Nok. "Trade."
The Ithorian slides Nazar a card and Nazar slides him a card in exchange.
Sheegan slides a card toward Fiver and rumbles "Trade." The droid pushes a card back toward Sheegan and then all of them turn and glare at Cady.
<span class="mu-i">
This is definitely going to work!
</span>
She finally looks up from her cards.
<span class="mu-i">
Force Sense!
</span>
Cady blinks as Sheegan's cards turn red. When she looks at the others, only the droid's cards are green.
<span class="mu-i">
It works! My Force Sense ability is telling me to trade with Fiver!
</span>
Cady grins at the droid and slides it a card. "Trade!"
Fiver pushes a card back toward Cady and then Nok burps "Trade" at Nazar.
Fiver lays a card down and says "Keep" and then Nazar does the same. Sheegan tosses a card and then everyone is looking at Cady again. Cady glances down at her own cards and sees one of them glowing green.
<span class="mu-i">
This overpowered isekai cheat ability is too powerful! I'm basically just pressing A to skip through a cutscene!
</span>
Cady lays the glowing green card on the table and another card in her hand immediately turns green.
<span class="mu-i">
Is this really alright for a Jedi?
</span>
