she slid out of the grate of the ship she’d stowed away on, slipping the crew member the bag of coins she’d promised him if he got her to Canto Bight in one piece. it’d been a last ditch effort to escape her poverty-laden planet, where there was nothing left for her but to shrivel up && die amidst the thrice-scavenged ruins. slipping through the crowds of the casino city, she blended in well with the outfit she’d ‘borrowed’ from one of the wealthier passengers on the ship she’d came on. following the twists && turns down to the more isolated parts of the casino, she hoped to find a place to hid && rest before pillaging pockets to earn enough money for a place to sleep.
turning a dark corner, she thought she’d found just the spot when she ran full-bodied into another figure, obscured from view by the shadows.
“ OMPH ”
she gasped out as she scrambled backwards.
