The Sad Story of Forever Alone Wookiee Episode II: Chatting with Strippers

So, after a nice restful sleep following my perchance meeting with Forever Alone Wookiee, we decided to log in again for another fun filled day of questing. Being in the same room as I was the following night, I was beyond surprised to be greeted with this:

"You do know I'm supposed to win at this, right? They always let me win!"

Forever Alone Wookiee had found a Holo-chess partner! Yaaay! Maybe he wasn't so Forever Alone as I had initially thought. However, I deeply wondered how long it would last...this game didn't look very friendly after all, and the guy had a gun. I could see it go badly very quickly, but I had things to do, quests to finish, and money to make...so I left them in peace for the day.

I learned later that night before logging off, however, my worries had become reality as the chess table and chairs were empty. Curious, I went in search of other areas...and found that he must have won the game...because I found him downstairs apparently having a discussion with one of the Cantina ladies:
"Hey, you wanna come upstairs to my room? We can play a game of strip Djarik."

She, however, looked like she was drinking more, and listening a lot less. I wondered what he could possibly be talking about. Maybe he was asking her to play chess? Or how nice she looked in that loincloth and how she was lucky to be wearing it in the heat...and how all he had to wear was a bandolier...if she got his meaning...

After snickering like mad and remembering to take my UI off this time, I made it official. He was Forever Alone Wookiee.

Really...she's SO interested.

Keep chatting, FAW! She looks positively intrigued!

The Sad Story of Forever Alone Wookiee

Forever Alone Wookiee wasn't always alone, you know. I mean, I don't know completely for sure, but I can only guess he wasn't. How he became to be so socially awkward though is a mystery that is beyond me.
Who is Forever Alone Wookiee, you ask? What on earth is this blog about? What brought about this ingenious idea to bring upon the world the woes and social ineptitude of the galaxy upon our beloved internet?
Easy: lack of sleep.

I met Forever Alone Wookiee late one night while running around in Star Wars: The Old Republic. I had a long day of questing and adventuring and was getting ready to sit and relax in a cantina so that I might log out and finally go to bed when I turned the corner and found this:

Wha-what was I looking at?! I stood there, watching this beast-man just sit at this Dejarik(or Holo-chess) table...breathing deeply, silently, and staring straight ahead at nothing. And I did this for ten minutes straight...snickering to myself until my fiance, who was in a different room in-game, asked what the hell I was laughing about. So I decided I needed to share this with the rest of the planet by posting in general:

And then I continued to stare at this unmoving behemoth for another few minutes until the few of us in General had a small discussion about it...and 3am and lack of sleep took it's toll on my imagination:



As I was giggling madly still, Zhen decided that he had to go and check it out for himself...only to discover that Forever Alone Wookiee was NOT in the room on his computer! This only resulted in my laughter becoming more feverish and the decision that I REALLY needed to get to sleep...but at that moment I decided that I was going to document Forever Alone Wookiee. I would check the cantina every time I logged in and before I logged out to see if he was truly Forever Alone. And so, now you shall see the results of this study in lonesome Wookiee behavior.

We decided then to log off, but not without this final image and thought in my head:
