Last night, a Dance & Gambling Night was held in Jailbirds, Farpoint Valley, Tatooine. Celox Scorpio was running Pazaak games while the Neutron Pixies entertained the numerous guests. Aicha, Kayet, Ieneu, Ramona and Syrehna were dancing while their manager Clarissa Goldear kept an eye on the club.



Gambling stakes were high – the game was for high rollers, as Celox was heard to say several times. Enormous sums were won – and lost. Some may even have gambled away their clothes - according to rumors two men, among them Jeric Varrit, were seen running around naked for some time.

For the most time, the stakes remained credits though, and Fodri was among the lucky winners, taking 2’000’000 credits home after his challenge to Celox the Pazaak champion. Celox recouped some of his losses against K’yna Mont’yr later, in a pitched match, before taking on Corrent Gilo, another skilled player.

Count Lesap, who was supposed to be dead according to some rumors, was at the event as well, looking more than alive as he tried to cover Jeric Varrit up.

Even the spa of the club was packed, offering relaxation to those who were neither after the thrill of gambling nor the entertainment of a dance show. There was almost no violence during the evening, rare for Tatooine. One man had to be treated for a blaster wound by a visiting medic, but as it turned out it was an older wound, taken in a med center on Corellia, which had become infected. And Jeric Varrit ended up knocked out on the floor for a bit after he allegedly insulted the performers, although it is unclear if he meant to.
