In the midst of the contest, Senjen felt like he had to split his focus between a dozen things. Poisoning the opponents’ plants, throwing around tumbleweeds, and ripping up whatever plants he could get his hands on that did not belong to them. When light called for his attention, he was, for a moment, suddenly blindsided by the ridiculousness of it all. He was running around in the dirt, throwing weeds at Humans, and now Light had managed to get [i]himself[/i] trapped in a bush, inside his own suit. In times like this, there was no other choice but to just stop and laugh.

Senjen was less surprised than Light that they had lost. He had been right up front, chasing around the Humans and seeing exactly what they were doing. He saw all their clever tricks, and he could tell quickly how experienced they were. Frankly, what surprised him the most was that there was [i]any[/i] percentage of the plot unoccupied after all of that. Even with poisons to kill them, it felt like plants on both sides were always overgrowing what was lost. 

Still, Senjen was in about as good spirits after it all as Ruk was. Briefly, he complimented their opponents on their performance, to which they said something he mostly did not understand. He hoped polite waving was the appropriate reply. Jess was the one who took the picture of the rest of their group with the completed plot. She enjoyed the part of the contest that involved “creative” construction, but aside from that, it was clear the others had been more enthusiastic.

Given that there was still plenty of time left in the afternoon, the group was not quite ready to call it yet. Though, Senjen supposed they would need to be a bit more responsible about how much they spent from this point on. With how much they had invested at the contest, it was already like they had dined out at a fancy restaurant. Senjen did end up exchanging information with Pclendafuun to leave open the possibility of staying in contact. They had been a good teammate. 

It was the Ketlit Market a few levels down to which Senjen suggested they all go next, which was far from an uncommon destination for them. Aside from its plentiful shops and services, there was no shortage of entertainment and restaurants which could fit into most price ranges. Indeed, being that it was Korit, there was hardly a limit on what one could find being sold out in the open. What might be considered black market goods on most worlds might be sold right next to everyday items, and depending on what it was, it could even be just as cheap. For some goods, if they could not be produced locally, they still might need to be smuggled [i]out[/i] of their origin world, which could influence the price. 

Of course, there was more pulling Senjen to Ketlit today, as part of it was hosting a trade exhibition. This one was a tech show, one of probably half a dozen just in Setia throughout the year. Korit was a melting pot, so the planet ended up as a test market for the new and experimental products of many major corporations. A little microcosm of the galaxy as a whole. Computers, implants, new devices, robots...it was tempting in more ways than one, and this one was open to the public. No admission needed. It had been going on a few days now, and Senjen had almost come out by himself before. 

When they came upon the signage for the show, Senjen stopped and looked to the other three. “Do you want to...look around for a little while? We don’t have to buy anything, but it’s...always interesting to see what’s coming up.” He asked. To those who knew him so well, he was failing to suppress his excitement.
