[OOC: I've defaulted to prose here but if you prefer brackets I can definitely do that]

-1: Busywork-

The Department of Enma had promised that they could restore Jaika's eyes. That was beyond the medical technology of the Republic, and the offer had been intriguing enough to get him to play ball, at least for now. The problem with this was that the Department of Enma was government, and that meant everything was supposed to leave a paper trail.

This was fine, in theory. In PRACTICE it presented Jaika with a very practical problem. Jaika didn't glare at the lady behind the desk at the Department of Registration because he physically couldn't. She wouldn't let him register for his official Department of Enma ID card until he filled out the requisite forms, and, well...

"Tell me, miss. How am I supposed to fill out the forms if I can't SEE the damned things!?"

Jaika was wearing a blindfold and judging by the burn scars that dotted his face, it wasn't decorative.

"Hey. I don't make the rules. I just follow them. When you're done you can submit them at the red desk for processing."

"The red desk. Sure. Great. And which desk is-"

"NEXT!"

Jaika clutched the top of his cane in frustration as an Oni shoved him aside to start his OWN argument with the desk lady. He considered all the presences around him and searched out for one that felt sympathetic. Maybe...that one.

"Excuse me. Can I ask you to lend me a hand with this? Or, perhaps, an eye?"

Yeah, he's talking to you.

-2: Something something droids you're looking for-

Jaika, somehow, had caught Mr. Libido. Or at least engaged him in a conversation. Honestly, he hadn't even realized who he was talking to until the conversation abruptly shifted to how more girls need to wear yoga pants and crop tops. The conversation devolved from there into more and more detailed observations about what kind of underwear various women in the area were wearing until Jaika firmly put a stop to it by saying "Look, friend, maybe you should Go Home And Stop Bothering People."

It was an innocent enough comment, that was certainly understandable given the circumstances, but the way Jaika said it it had a strange gravity to it that made it hard to ignore. People walking by slowed down and thought of going home. Even Mr. Libido stopped his obscene gyrations for a moment to consider it.

Only for a moment, though. Then he perked back up. "No time! It's Thighs Save Lives night at the Pink Pussycat Club tonight! Got to run!"

Jaika put up a protesting hand to try and stop him but the man was somehow unstoppable. Jaika sighed to himself as Mr. Libido vanished into the evening crowds. "That usually works..."

-3: Carnivorous-

When a blind man taps his way down the street, most people ignore him. SOME people, however, feel the need to treat him as if he is entirely helpless no matter how much he protests that he's fine and knows where he's going. After a very confusing interaction with an overly friendly grocer, Jaika found himself the unwilling owner of a box of vegetarian tofu stir-fry.

Once he was out of earshot of the grocer, Jaika stopped to smell the box and made a face. Togruta weren't obligate carnivores, and if it really came down to it he could probably eat this and not get sick, but it certainly didn't smell appetizing. This didn't smell like food, this smelled like PLANTS. A man can't live on this!

He stopped a random passer by by holding his cane out to one side. "Excuse me. Are you hungry?"
