"Welllllllllllllllllllllllll... maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe." Manny said, eyeing the Mandalorian warily.

After a few moments, he shrugged and grinned. "But I've already got a magic partner, anyway." He gave Leah another wave.

Manny clapped as well, even as he plotted dire revenge on this rival magician who'd inserted himself into his act. Perhaps something involving... eggs...

"How'd you even get the card in the egg?!" Raven asked, or rather demanded, oblivious to what Dredgen had done as she was a bit less perceptive now with her drinking. Manny waggled his fingers dramatically at her. "Magic!" He said. And he would find a knife! Dredgen's knife. Right inside the jacket...

Manny grinned at Raven. It was always good to have someone like her in the audience.

"Yeah. Sharp." Manny nodded at Dredgen, smiling in total incomprehension. After a few moments, he did check his pockets, though.

Manny caught it, spun around, shook it with both hands, and with a great "Aha!" he threw the egg to the ground. It broke, of course, as eggs tended to do when thrown to the ground.

Underneath the yolk and shattered shell was the card Dredgen had selected.

Manny spread his arms, grinning.

Manny glanced down at the cards. "Sure, sure. Okay. But, you couldn't find your card, huh?"

He held up one hand, fingers spread. "Raven, quick, toss me an egg!" Manny said, grinning.

Manny's smile quirked a little, but stayed steady. "Sure, sure, no problem. Everyone, I promise, greasing the cards wasn't part of the show!"

If you're already Force Sensitive, Armorer is super good, and the lightsaber only stuff isn't in places where you can't avoid it.

"Yeah. Okay. We'll... hey, let's keep doing our magic in the meantime, huh? Keep the dream team going." Manny smiled at her. Then, with a flourish, he flipped the first omelette onto a plate.

"Who wants the first one?" He offered up the plate.

Manny grinned at both of them. "Yes, exactly." That gave him all the cover he needed to palm the card...

He turned back to Dredgen. "Now, sir, see if you can find your card." This time, he handed him the deck, letting him search futilely through it.

Manny shuffled the deck again.

Then he moved over to the shark and the Twi'lek. "Now, can I have the two of you put your hands on the cards?" He fanned them out again, letting them do so.

Manny flipped the omelette in the pan. "Uh... I don't know how much fighting I'll be doing. But I'm gonna be doing some stuff. More sneaky-type stuff. Maybe smuggling. Pretty much like a magic show, but for a good cause." He looked back at the two, smiling. "Either of you wanna help with that? You'r...

Manny gave the Mandalorian a curious look. "Are you Raven's..." He cleared his throat. "Uh... nevermind. Okay, I want you to pick one of these cards, show it to everyone but me, and then put it back in the deck."

He fanned out the cards for Dredgen to choose.

"He's not?" Manny said, scratching his head. "See, that was really unclear. And I was definitely picking up on some sort of vibe." He shrugged. "My mistake. You sure he's not?"

He cleared his throat. "Anyway, moving on, since I totally already apologized... Okay. I need a volunteer."

"I mean, laser swords are cool..." Manny sighed. "But you're right. Killing isn't cool. It kinda freaks me out a little. But... if you have to..." Grimacing, Manny shook his head. "Right, sorry. I won't say anything, to anyone, no matter what. I promise." Smiling gently, he gave her hand a return sq...

The pan began to sizzle. Manny poked at it with a spatula a bit.

He looked back, his expression concerned. "I mean... yeah, pretty much." He nodded. "But hey. We're gonna make it better. I mean, a lot of people are gonna work at it. That's... what you gotta do, right?"

Then she remembered. "Right, Manny! I did in fact say something about a magic trick! Why don't you show some of what you can do?" "Sure thing." Manny smirked. "Uh... here, hold these." He caught the eggs, then placed them in Raven's hand. He pulled out his sabaac deck, shuffling it. "Now, I'm gonna...

"I guess." Manny made a face. "But if a bunch of kids are named Manny, maybe I'll have a harder time telling when someone's talking to me." His expression brightened. "I'd love to see Corellia! That's, like, the most awesome Cor world. Yeah, I'd like to see it. Pick out a spot for my statue." He chu...

Manny shook his head. "No way! That was my new place. Everything's clean!"

He tilted his head. "Might have been my laundry, though. Dirty or clean. I mean, when you run a shirt with an egg in the pocket through the wash, wow, it really makes a mess!"

Manny set the frying pan on the stove. A bit of blue butter in it, and then he began cracking eggs. "Trouble? I don't know, I think I kept up pretty well." Manny said. There was a pause. Manny blinked. "Oh, you mean with the fight! Oh, yeah. Yeah." He cleared his throat. "Well hey, I told you that T...
