Escape! - during KotOR 2 Atton. And Mical. But not in any way slashy.

"Run? Running's not a plan. Running's what you do when the plan fails." Atton couldn't help but notice the alarm that was swiftly overcoming the disgust in his own slurred voice.

Being back here on Nar Shaddaa was almost like coming home. The toxic fumes in the air, the stink of unwashed bodies crammed into the smallest of communal living spaces. But as much fun as a good knock-down-drag-out fight sounded, the kid had a valid point. Running was probably the best course of action here, if they wanted to return to the ship with their hides intact.

They were under orders to be discreet, just a few subtle enquiries as to where the Exile currently stood with the Exchange. Should have been a puff cake walk. But then one smelly little Gand fellow had arrived. Then another. And another. Now it looked like he and the kid were adrift amidst an entire sea of Gands. A grand Gand army. Best guess? There were like 90 of 'em, and he was far too drunk and Blondie was far too green. They needed somebody with Force powers to deal with this lot.

Mical wasn't so bad. He was actually pretty swift on the uptake, finding fault in a lot of the Jedi teachings. He harbored his own bitterness regarding Jedi restraint during the war. As long as you didn't come out and call a double card a double card, if you didn't label the choices they made "Dark Sided" choices, then he was more than happy to follow right along. A smile from the Exile now and again was all they needed to keep the lovesick pup in line.

He was just stupid, really.

One of the filthy buggers gestured wildly to the others with his silencer, and they began to advance as a group.

"Know what? You're right. Time to go," Atton said.

He was tempted to trip Mical up as they ran for the exit. A good sound beating might be just the thing to help the kid build some character. But then he figured, nah, he might end up being useful later on.

Did this really happen? It's possible that the entire thing was just a juma-induced hallucination. ;p I've been watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas too much lately.

Just a drabble. I've decided to do some drabbles to beef up my writing skills. I'm open for requests if your expectations aren't too high (so like, if you'd be happy with a paragraph or 2).

For the :iconscaryatton: mini challenge, the prompt: Scary Atton escaping a drunken brawl on Nar Shaddaa along with one of the following four characters: Mical, Carth, Bastila or Zayne Carrick.

This is more of a grey Atton, an in-game n00bie, nuetral Atton. After reading =Nevar23 and ~GrecianUrn's entries, I wanted mine to be different, so no character death this time. I couldn't find anywhere in my personal canon for Carth and Atton to cooperate, Atton + Bastila = fail, IMO, and I don't really know enough about Zayne Carrick (and I'm too distracted to research him just now).

So here this is. I simply must meet all Scary Atton challenges. Even if my current inspiration lies elsewhere.
Thanks for reading! :heart:

Paha. I can just hear Atton and Mical screaming "RUN AWAAAAY!" Monty Python style. :XD:

Good work!
