Cassian's in his black leather jacket nursing a caf and poking at a datapad, it shows flight routes, so he seems like just another pilot plotting where his next job might be.

The main difference is that he's at a table with his back to the wall and a good view of the cantina, looking up every once in a while, meeting someone here would make sense. This is one of those cantinas that exists to be forgotten, a good place for a meeting between Rebel agents.
childofrebellion: (unexpected)
Cassian woke up to static, that didn't make sense. When he opened his eyes, he thought he saw something shining in the darkness. He turned on the light, reaching for the blaster by this bed, and saw someone sitting in the shadows.

"You heard me," The voice was familiar and thready.

Cassian sat up with a gasp, he hated Milliways, "CT-473? No, Twist. How are you here?"

"Over the comms, you heard me. You remembered me. I didn't want to be forgotten. I can be here for a night," The clone, Twist, leaned slightly into the light. He had a tattoo curling down his face, it looked like it might be hiding a scar.

"W.what do you like to eat?" His father had been here before, this man was a strange but also not. He could keep remembering. After all, he'd never forgotten that night.

"Eat? Anything other than rations." Twist laughed, seeming surprised at the sound and watching the blaster in Cassian's hand.

Cassian set the blaster down and leaned against the wall, nodding his head to the ofrenda on a shelf. No images as he didn't have any but flowers and food for those he'd lost, "There's a tradition on my planet of setting out food for the dead, what they liked."

Twist stood up and Cassian could see his flight suit, not too different, but it hadn't been that long. Not even twenty years since the end of the Clone Wars, it just felt like parsecs away.

"Is this hot chocolate?"

"Yes, my father liked it," And Cassian still made it with his recipe.

"Palm fruit, always liked when I could get that on leave. They sometimes fried it up at 79s," Gently Twist touched one of the petals on the ofrenda and nodded. "Yes, leave some palm fruit for me."

Cassian blinked and the room was empty. He shivered and stood up to make himself something warm to drink.

Cassian Andor is one of the most dependable ice dancers who skates under Mothma but he hasn't yet found the right partner. He's known as being able to adapt to any partner which means he's become who someone skates with before finding their best partner.

At the moment, he's between partners but he knows that there's been talk of having him and Jyn Erso, the former single's skater pair up. Apparently she wants to be in pairs not ice dancing but there's worry about how she might be with a partner, so they'll use him.

If you'd like more details of this, I'm working on a fic of this idea and have posted snippets on my tumblr.
childofrebellion: (intense listen)
Inside the catacombs, there's a hall that once was a warehouse for droids but has long been abandoned. As it sits not far from other warehouses, it makes for a good place to meet if you know it. When Cassian enters the large space, he knocks a signal onto a crate as he says, "The ice is strong this year."

From the darkness, a young voice answers, "And the snows came early."

Then from behind a bunch of crates, a human about age thirteen, a Togorian and Naotolan, both in their older teens emerged with blasters held carefully.

The human smiled at the sight of Cassian, "I knew you would come."

"Yes, and I found you a safe way to get off planet, to join other rebels," He moves to give space for Hera and Kanan to be visible.

The Race

childofrebellion: (planning)
The stands are a mixture of good quality and finding seats where you can. Thanks to the help of Pan, Cassian was able to get Barry, Cisco and Gabe seats with a good view of what's visible of the track and then the screens showing the other sections.

Cassian's down with the ships with Yamato, Pan came by to help them but is now up in the stands.
childofrebellion: (Default)
The hangar's not too far from the main exhibit hall, a walk through busy streets to an imposing building. Inside they walk by many of the real ships that only had models in the exhibit hall and towards a section that's near one of the corner. The ship is gleaming and shining where it waits.
childofrebellion: (sunset pilot)
They're on the edge of the city after hauling the ship in transport behind them. Now they're at a little used landing pad which one of Cassian's other connections told him about.

He sets up some lights as its late afternoon but night will be coming soon. The weather's clear and the city is a rosy glow on the horizon.
childofrebellion: (comforting)
Cassian's waiting at the counter for Gabe, today should be a good day for him to see the convention. And Gabe's eye for weapons will be useful for looking into the shadier deals that are happening and where Yamato's cover will stand out a little too much.

Cassian's dressed in his Willix cover of a neat blue suit.
childofrebellion: (comforting)
Cassian's at the counter in his informal Willix outfit which resembles a simple blue suit that's more formal that what he normally wears.

He left a note for them about a chance to go see a lot of ships at the convention. Today's a good day for them to visit as its the busiest of the convention with the most tourists.
childofrebellion: (Default)
A nice benefit of this hotel is they will bring caf up to their room in the morning along with breakfast to give them some privacy in the mornings.

Cassian has pulled up the itinerary of the day, "Part of our entry allows access to the hangar with the ships and that's up for today. So you can properly look into the engines."
childofrebellion: (strategic mind)
Cassian reviews the mission briefing and identicard that he's put together for Yamato. This is the sort of mission that he needs Yamato's skills for, but he wants to insure that Yamato has all of the intel before he agrees to anything.

He sips his caf at the counter as he waits and adjusts some code on his datapad.
childofrebellion: (hoping)
"These are all the recipes?" Mig flipped through the datapad and then looked at the jars of sauces and salsas.

"Yes, but you'll have to learn how to adjust them for what you have and what you like." That was a constant part of Cassian's cooking, to find the right taste with what he had available. "Its not always going to taste exactly like home."

"But more like home?" The question in Mig's voice was one Cassian didn't have an easy answer for, because sometimes having the right smells and spices was enough to call up Fest, but not always.

"Yes, more," That was true.

"I'll try one of them tonight. Yna has a message for you about someone who might talk." Mig turned serious as he carefully repacked the sauces and put away his datapad. "They're going to come here."

As he said it, there was tapped out code on the hangar door and Mig went to open it up. Cassian tensed with his hand lightly on his blaster just to be safe. Yna and Ty stepped through and nodded to them.

Mig was still smiling as he switched over to Basic from Festian, "I have new recipes to try."

"Good, we were able to get what we needed." Yna said, Cassian could see the tenseness in her posture and stood up, coming towards her with his hands open.

"And I should move on," He didn't want to crowd them and as he passed Yna gave him a datachip, also he felt the thrum of his comm. Draven had mentioned a mission coming his way, he pushed the thought of what it might be down until he'd left the hangar completely. He needed to be the strong, constant sign of the Rebellion here.
childofrebellion: (kind at the end)
Cassian's in the kitchen with his hands covered with spices as he dresses a bird with spices and some citrus that will go into a pot that he has on the stove. He leans slightly on the counter as the injury on his thigh is still healing.
childofrebellion: (waiting for orders)
Cassian could just hear the young rebels talking from where he waited in the warehouse. He didn't need to know the details of their argument, either they would trust him or they wouldn't. A part of him almost wished they weren't needed so by the Rebellion, but everyone had to fight or they'd never win. He'd started fighting younger than they were and the Rebellion had been there for him as much as it could.

****


"We can't trust him." Yna said as she watched the Rebel contact wait, his stillness made her nervous. Her ear twitched and she smoothed her whiskers as she wondered how much of a hunter he was.

"He brought what the message said he would." Ty said as he smoothed a tentacle, his voice low and thoughtful.

"He's from Fest." Mig's voice rose slightly, he was the youngest and still hopeful, but he was also human. That made things simpler for him.

"How do you know?" She wasn't going to take anything on Mig's faith.

"When I said my lucky phrase, he looked my way and he kind of smiled." Mig was so certain of what he saw.

"No, he didn't." Ty scoffed.

"It was small but he did. I know he understood. We always get to decide what we give, but I think we should." Mig looked at her and Yna looked down at the supplies in from of them.

Then she turned and gave a quick nod. He walked over and she was struck again how he would make a good Togorian, always ready to fight but not obvious about it.

Yna made her voice firm as she said. "We have a deal."

"Good, this is an encoded comm. Use it as a dead drop as we move everything into place." The comm he handed her seemed too small for all that meant but she took it and hid it. Then he turned to go, she hadn't seen which entrance he'd used, which was safer. Before he was too deep into the shadows, Mig said in Festian. "May the thaw come as promised."

From the darkness, his voice emerged to answer Mig in Festian. And the ice be thick enough to hold you."

Then there was nothing as Mig beamed at her, while they prepared to move the supplies.
childofrebellion: (Calculating)
The last cry of a shift change horn can be heard over the crowd, which has suddenly gotten larger. Cassian gets to Cassidy's side as they walk out into an alley and head towards the cantina district.
childofrebellion: (are you really saying that?)
"No, I'm not talking to anyone unless they have a performer with them and the cantina is closed." The door slammed behind the angry Shistavanen and Cassian winced from where he watching across the street.

His asset couldn't meet him if the cantina wasn't open as they worked in there. He needed some way to convince the owner and started to walk around the block, opening a door that turned into Milliways.

Listening

May. 11th, 2018 10:47 pm
childofrebellion: (disbelief)
Cassian sipped at his lukewarm caf and stretched his shoulders, this was the third day of waiting for a contact to show up and nothing. The atmosphere on Thalassia was tense, he’d been getting suspicious looks all day and there seemed to be more random patrols on the streets than other times he’d been on planet. When the holonet broadcast Trayvis’ speech about insurgents again, he heard one pointed curse that was quickly stifled. Perhaps Trayvis was behind the problems, it might be time to rethink his plan if the Empire had got to his contacts first.

In the ‘fresher which had that unlovely smell that bad cantinas had, he put some water on his face and was starting to open the door when heard someone say, “He was just here. I think he’s waiting for someone and I think he’s a rebel.”

The next voice had the crispness of an officer, “We’ll find him.”

From the ‘fresher, his options for escape were limited but not impossible, there was a window that provided access to an alley. Before he’d come in the first time, he’d cracked it open from the outside and by hoisting himself up he was able to wriggle through. In the alley, he waited, a shift change was due soon and he could use that to sneak away. Boots clomped by and he found a shadow to hide in hearing the voices say, “He went into the ‘fresher. He can’t have got far.”

Escape would have to be quick, he started climbing a building when a blaster bolt skimmed his pant leg, the next one was near his arm as he ducked down onto the roof, crawling across as bolts went over. On the other side, he shimmied down, using a balcony to go into a room he knew was abandoned. His injuries weren’t deep just new holes that would have to be repaired. Outside he could hear the boots of troopers going by then knocking at the building’s doors which meant he couldn’t stay. In the hall, he ducked out another open window and used the building to hide him before jumping with a wince into another alley.

As he sprinted, a trooper spotted him and he felt a bolt on his arm before he had cover, now he was in an area with more ruined buildings that he could use to his advantage. Inside a room on a higher floor where he had a view from a destroyed wall, he waited and watched when the evening fog rolled in from the ocean offering him safety for a time. He started listening to various comm frequencies, most of it was what he expected, searches though pulling off as they weren’t sure of his face or what ship he’d come in on.

Then he stopped as he heard a boy speaking, “We have been called criminals, but we are not. We are rebels, fighting for the people, fighting for you. I'm not that old, but I remember a time when things were better on Lothal. Maybe not great, but never like this. See what the Empire has done to your lives, your families, and your freedom? It's only gonna get worse…unless we stand up and fight back. It won't be easy. There will be loss and sacrifice. But we can't back down just because we're afraid. That's when we need to stand the tallest. That's what my parents taught me. That's what my new family helped me remember. Stand up together. Because that's when we're strongest—as one.

Cassian closed his eyes, because he’d never expected to hear a message about the Rebellion so openly. Whoever was talking was young and still had hope, perhaps it could make a difference. That’s what he wanted, for the fight to grow until the Empire burned and justice, something better could return to the galaxy.

Cassian pats the shuttle as he gets off, nodding to the pilot before stepping off and starting towards Ops and Draven.

If he reports first then he can find Kay and get some rest perhaps even see if whoever's cooking needs help. As he walks back, he notes the extra movement and wonders which of the possible raids is going ahead.

He gets a few nods but not that many, he's not around that much and tends to keep to himself, its safer in the long run.
childofrebellion: (in a crowd)
The door opens onto a decently lit alley with building's reaching up, ships overhead and a crowd of various alien races moving in the cross-street.

Cassian holds it for Barry and Cisco to walk out, searching up for surveillance and listening for 'trooper boots, "Welcome to Corsin.
childofrebellion: (comforting)
Before the lights went down, Cassian found a few routes through the party, which is good as his thoughts are full of Emcee. Though he's slightly unsteady, he passes through the crowd and back to the U-wing, glad that its not at the front of the line of ships as he turns it on.

He keeps the lights low before sitting in one of the pilot's chairs. To try to stop himself from overthinking, he looks out the front and goes through hyperspace routes in his head.
