A day's worth of traveling in the general direction of the final dot brought Ihawxd to a muddy little village full of bizarre torches stuck sloppily in the ground. Despite the fact that not a single sign in the entire village was legible, he was finally able to find a building that appeared to be open to the public. He tied up Alderaan outside and proceeded in. The level of noise produced was incredible considering how few people were actually in the building. There were a few wooden rings which appeared to be attempted chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. These, however, provided absolutely no light to the room as all the lit candles were placed on tables. The illumination that these candles presented allowed Ihawxd to see things he didn't particularly want to see. The Holden native approached a bar at the end of the room and sat down at one of the stools. The only bartender in reaching distance was facing away, cleaning a glass, so Ihawxd tugged the shoulder of his sleeve. The man grunted and glared over his shoulder. "Hi." Ihawxd waved nervously. The man turned around and frowned as he continued to wipe off the glass. "Make an order or leave me alone." "Can I just get some water?" "We don't have water here." "What do you have?" "We have peanut oil." The man at that point began smiling uncontrollably. ""That's nice... Do you have anything else?" "Peanut oil is really good." "Can I get a normal drink?" "It might be illegal right now, but I know some places where I can get you peanut oil." The man dropped the glass and leaned forward. "If it's illegal, why are you offering it to me in the first place?" "I've been smuggling it for the past few-" The man was cut off by what appeared by his sister. "I'm really sorry about my brother here." she apologized, stepping in front of the bartender. Ihawxd accepted the apology and turned away. He heard the bartender start complaining about how he hadn't sold enough peanut oil to leave yet and began to look for someone slightly more sane. His search was soon interupted by a man shouting giberrish into his face. "Alonatonroroaratalolronarar!" the man yelled. Ihawxd turned back to the bar, but the man sitting on his right was eager to translate the babble. "He doesn't like you." "Well... I'm sorry about that." "I don't like you either." The translator attempted to knock Ihawxd's head off with a single punch, but Ihawxd quickly stumbled off of his stool and drew his sword. The man rushed forward again. More in hopes of simply warding him off than actually causing any physical damage. The attacker ended up writhing on the floor in pain, however, so Ihawxd could tell his hopes had not been fulfilled. The man began to spew out a slew of profanity so vulgar that Ihawxd didn't understand even half of it. The bar simply roared in laughter as the man lay on the ground, writhing and spewing. Some sort of hippie woman with flowers all over her hair ran over to the thrashing man and tried to coax him. Nonetheless, he continued screaming profane remarks. Ihawxd looked around and saw a table with three young individuals, two male (presumably brothers) and one female, who seemed somewhat innocent. He sat down at their table and was hoping to ask them some questions, but the three wouldn't stop talking. "So what else have you guys been doing, you know, other than drawing?" the younger of the two brothers asked.

"More drawing." the girl answered. She proceeded to retrieve numerous drawings of various creatures. What these creatures were Ihawxd could not tell, but he thought he saw something that vaguely resembled a wolf. As the girl distributed her drawings, he tried to ask some questions, but was repeatedly cut off by laudatory exclamations.

"Well I just recently drew this." the older brother boasted as he handed a drawing of a four armed human to his younger counterpart. "It's a portrait of you."

"Why does it have four arms?" Ihaxwd interjected, before anyone could say anything else.

"Because I have four arms." the younger brother explained, glaring at Ihawxd as if extremely offended.

"No you don't..." Ihawxd objected.

"Yeah I do."

The two had a short stare down, immediately followed by Ihawxd slamming his head against the table.

"This place is full of idiots." he muttered under his breath as he got up and walked away.
