"Good, good, good morning!" Chee-Kee greeted his customer. "Welcome to Chee-Kee's Finds and Wonders! Looking for mystery here at the temples of Yavin's moon? I've got things that will make you widen your eyes and open your wallet! Rare temple artifacts, mysterious golden weapons! And--"

"Got any fish?"

The interrupted Chee-Kee slumped his shoulders. "Er...Fish? You want...fish?"

"Yes!" the customer smiled. "Fish is why I'm here. Your scripperdod were so good last week! I'd love another batch of those."

"But...wouldn't you rather have one of these long-lost relics? Or an amulet, maybe?"

"Aw, great!" the customer beamed. "Thanks, pal!"

Just to be safe, he downed three cups of caf that morning. He was more alert than he'd ever been in his entire life.

Unfortunately, it was only about an hour in before the Caf had another effect on his body, and the desperate need to use the restroom had him dancing atop the sentry tower. He looked around frantically; he couldn't leave his post! They'd never let him do guard duty again! But what was he going to do?

"Awww, isn't this just my luck!" Jorry groaned.
