Eruestan Duskhand wrote:*Wynn smiled. Naomi had come through for them. But wait, what about Naomi? He had said that he and Eruestan could go, he had said nothing about Naomi. At this thought his smile changed to a frown. He struggled to remain calm as he began to speak to the Zeltron.*

"Will Naomi be coming with us?"

*Again, the Zeltron smiled, even an impressed one. He peered at the dormant form of Eruestan on the medical bed, and then shrugged thinly before looking back at the Mandalorian.*

again, you surprise me Mandalorian. I thought you would be the more violent out of the two of you.... What the girl said about you was correct. Yes, she will be allowed to go with you.

*He said, and slid the door opened just a little farther. Naomi was led in by Lilly, who, after she was finished with her task, quickly left, with a smile and a wink at Wynn in a flirtatious manner. Business was business, true... but one couldn't help but be themselves every once and a while.

The Zeltron man nodded to Naomi before looking back at Wynn and speaking once more.*

We will monitor you until You leave the planet. Your free to go when you see fit.

Wynn...

*Naomi mumbled as she walked over to him, and leaned against his side. Her eyes wer half closed, and she looked terribly exhausted. An odd little smile was on her childish face, yet it lacked the true emotion that was found with such smiles. The urusai had stayed hidden behind a medical counter and now, found its master again. Crawling across the floor quickly it skittered onto Naomi's shoulder and nestled there... though Naomi didn't seem to notice as she had other times. *

She'll be fine in a few hours.

*The Zeltron man said as he peered at the young girl. He looked back at Wynn with a thin nod.*

I'll leave you alone now,

*he said, and began to slip out of the door.*

*Wynn was much calmer now that Naomi was back in his sight. He looked at the Zeltron, wanting to ask were there effects were, but he decided he should debrief Naomi for a bit. He lifted Naomi up gently and set her on the bed. He wanted her to get some rest.*

Rest Naomi, you need it.

*Eruestan still lay on his bed. He now was at the Jedi Base, but it was in flames! He stood in the middle of the burning rubble not knowing what to do. He saw the bodies of all those he had meet, including Master Alora, Wynn, and Naomi. He ran over to were the three of them lay and he fell to his knees and wept. His tears landed on the bodies of his friends, they rose and stood around him. He woke in horror. Sweating profusely. He was looking around the room to terrified to speak.*

Mon Aug 30, 2010 6:24 pm by Anna

*Naomi nodded in compliance, almost as if Wynn could tell her to do anything and she would do it with out a fuss. She let him help her onto the bed and lay down at once. Her eyes began to close, that strange little smile still on her face.

Her eyes opened again as she felt, and saw her master swiftly awaken. She turned her head to the side, smiling at him, and even let a small giggle come from her little frame. It was as if she had no clue how horror stricken he really was, nor what he had seen. *

Don't worry Master....

*She cooed absentmindedly as she blinked sleepily.*

Everything will be alright...

*She mumbled again, and closed her eyes, whispering the last phrase once more as she drifted off into a thick, dreamless sleep.*

Beltina Etaiaro wrote:*Having negotiated a fare, Beltina found a shop that sold clothing, among various other things. She brought a simple top and skirt, and a pair of pull length pants to go underneath, now she could walk around looking just that little bit more... normal.

Beltina made her way down to the docking bay where she found the ship waiting, stepping on board she took a seat in a back section with a few other passengers and waited.*

*After a few minutes prep the ship lifted off the ground and sailed off away into the blue sky.*

Mon Sep 06, 2010 7:22 pm by Eruestan Duskhand

*Eruestan calmed down when he realized it had only been a dream. He got up from his bed and went over to Naomi and Wynn. He was unsure of what was going to happen to them but he wasn't going to go to a prison cell with out a fight. But he would talk to Wynn first and asses the situation.*

"What is our statues?"

*Wynn smiled at his brother.*

"We are free to go. They want us off planet as soon as possible. We just need to collect our things."

*Wynn was ready to go. He scooped Naomi up in his arms, careful not to wake her. He walked to the door.*

"Shell we get going before they change their minds?"

*Eruestan grimaced as he opened the door for them and stepped into the hall.*

Mon Sep 06, 2010 10:20 pm by Anna

*Naomi moaned slightly as she was lifted from the bed. Her head fell to one side, resting upon the Mandalorian's shoulder. Her black hair fell loosely over her shoulder and trailed downwards.

The Urusai flitted to Eruestan's shoulder, clinging to his back loosely as they left the medical room. Upon leaving the room they would find all the items they were missing stacked on a table a few feet from the door. Zeltrons, and a few other species walked here and there in the medical center... but none payed them much mind. *

Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:25 pm by Eruestan Duskhand

*Eruestan did not mind the creature on his shoulder. He saw the table and quickly collected his supplies and put on his torn tunic and clock. He then took Naomi from Wynn gently, careful not to wake her. He looked at her sleeping form and sighed. He knew it would be hard to leave her, but he also knew he had to. Eruestan waited on Wynn to finish before walking out of the medical facility*.

*Wynn passed Naomi off to Eruestan. He then hastily put his armor back on and put all his weapons in their place. He then held his helmet on his head and nodded to Eruestan. He lead the way out of the medical facility and looked down both sides of the street. He had no idea which way they had come.*

Sun Sep 12, 2010 6:39 pm by Eruestan Duskhand

*After receiving directions from a local, Eruestan and Wynn, still carrying Naomi, made there way back to the ship. They boarded the ship. Eruestan took Naomi to a room and laid her down on the bed and slid the door half way shut behind him. The ship rose and entered the atmosphere.*

JADE HIATUS BUILDING INITIATIVE

*Multiple giant ships land on the beaches of a small chain of islands, about a hundred kilometers off the coast of Zeltros's main land.

Setting down, millions of tons of ore is unloaded, along with almost four hundred thousand workers. COunt Dante meanwhile, surveys the islands via skimmer.*

*Dante demici shook his head at what he saw below...the water was crystal clear...literally...you could see the ocean rocks and coral reefs as if looking through glass. Accenting and dotting the mainland however, where thousands of species of colorful insects, flora, and birds....a literal paradise on the water. The workers would have to be careful as they started building...as to not damage the natural beauty of the island chain. Sending the new and improved Jade Hiatus V2.0 to the foremen, work commences once again.*

Sun Dec 19, 2010 6:20 pm by Cas Zear

*The low thrumming sound of the J-type Diplomatic Barge filled the sky as it cruised over the waters of Zeltros. The pilots had followed the rough course laid down but had reached it's end a few minutes ago and had yet to discover any unmapped islands as yet. The crew were becoming concerned as to whether it could be a trap when the horizon is suddenly broken and the co-pilot spots it and exclaimed happily*

=Dien=

There! It's over there! Look!!!

=Sagyu=

Shut up moron, we can all see. Of all the crews I had to join, do you know how annoying you two are over long journeys? No wonder Zear spends his time in the back with the mute.

=Nien and Dien=

Oh hush you 10 legged freak.

*It was as they were bickering that Cas Zear entered the cockpit and banged his cane down to silence them immediately*

Oh don't stop your little nemoidian fest on my account girls....but where in the kriff are we headed?

=Nien=

Those islands over there, we were told to land on one of the beaches

*The Arkanian-Human hybrid frowned as he stared out of the cockpit, his bodyguard scowling at the crew for arguing* And that is all? You did not get any further information? kriff lucky for you lot that I'm able to garner information on a much more.....proactive scale to you. *He took out a datapad* I listened to their reply. The Hiatus Initiative is nothing to be feared, I'm almost certain they had me on file from my dealings with the Hutts but I could be mistaken on that front. So take us away boys!

*With a flourish Cas spun around and sauntered from the cockpit as the thrumming of the engines picked up as the barge descended onto the sand. The Rakririan opened up the comlinks and the entire crew waited for any sign of life as their master skipped back to the lounge area, his bodyguard keeping pace behind him.*

Sun Dec 19, 2010 7:01 pm by Jerrico

*A single man runs down the beach and up tot he ship. Behind him, several hundred thousand workers roll in a massive wave behind him. Coming to a stop, the man known as Dante Demici sniffed, flung back his cape, and called out to the ship.*

"Oi! Im glad you found this place...we just had it made you know. Amazing what a few billion credits can do."

*Turning to the thousands of workers, Dante leveled a finger at them.*

"NOT A SINGLE PERSON GOES INTO THE JUNGLE. I Swear to VOl that if you APES spoil this paradise we bought, ill choke you with my own cravat!"

*Turning back to the ship, Dante coughed.*

"Ahem, that is to say, please come out of your ship, bring nothing, and for the love of Vol, walk QUICKLY."

*SIlently, one of the workers reached for an exotic looking multi-colored turtle. And without looking, Dante pointed straight at him.*

"....Try it....just....kriffing....try it."

*Needless to say, the man retracted his hand.*

Mon Dec 20, 2010 4:33 am by Cas Zear

*The boarding ramp of the barge slammed into the sand and, stood at the top in suitably theatrical pose, revealed Cas Zear to the men stood outside his ship. His cane over his right shoulder, looking out of the ship but beyond those stood there and staring into nothing. His blue eyes slipped down to focus upon the man who had lead the posse across the sand and Cas smiled demurely to himself, he swung his cane down and began strolling down the boarding ramp, his unusual way of walking one foot crossing over the other as his cane clinked against the metal further adding to his entrance. He spoke to himself as he made his way down the ramp, eyes never leaving the man who had called out*

My my my....weather, scenery and eye candy.....I was right to come here.

*He quickly cuts across the sand and stands before the taller man, smirking up at him as he shoots his right leg back and holds his cane out to the side as he bows. He stands straight back up as his bodyguard silently takes up a position behind his left shoulder.

Back on the ship the crew powered down the engines and the low thrumming abruptly ceased. Nien and Dien were busy running quick checks before powering down the systems, Sagyu was scanning coms frequencies for any information and quickly detailing the location of the islands into his navigation systems. Once they had completed their tasks and were free to leave the cockpit the 3 diminutive crew members rushed to one of the viewing windows in time to see Cas bowing to the man.

Behind Cas his bodyguard Barhk scanned the crowd suspiciously while his master made their introductions.*

Well hello tall, dark and handsome. Aren't you just.....a delight to behold. Cas Zear, advisor, strategist, information broker and obtainer of what is desired, at your service. Big and silent behind me is Barhk, my bodyguard. He's mute so I wouldn't expect a warm welcome but for you I've enough warmth for the both of us don't worry.....

*He closed his eyes and felt the warm sun wash over his pale skin and white hair, almost making him glow in the bright light, smiling back at the man as he opened them once again. Barhk's focus had settled on the man Cas was speaking to now and he grunted a confirmation of what had been said, his hands were gripping the handles of his batons on either hip instinctively. While Cas was a great judge of people and places 90% of the time, for those 10% of situations the bodyguard always felt it best to be ready seeing as his master was far from the fighting kind.*

So....what can I do for you?

Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:25 am by Jace Stealer

*With the completion of the Jade Hiatus, the ships from orbit dropped down once again, picking up all of the soldiers to be returned to Serenno. As the thirty thousand soldiers got in, eight agents stepped out. They would be the ones to set up shop in the Hiatus. As they got transport to the islands, the battle group lifted off towards orbit.*

Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:25 pm by Raven Alora

And so it was that she found herself on Zeltros, again. It's been a while sense she'd been here. Right now, she felt the force pulling her to this planet and she was unsure why. Certainly it had other things in mind than telling her to take a brake, or relax and have a good time.

For she was a Jedi.

Walking down the landing ramp of the passenger ship, she made her way into the capital city. Glancing around at the brightly colored natives of the planet, she smiled and waved politely at those who attempted to talk to her. She simply wanted to sit down and figure out what the force had brought her here for. She slipped into a small dinner that she was sure doubled as a club, depending on the time of day. Now however, it was mid day, and the atmosphere was calm and not as crazy as the night time side of the planet.

She took a seat near the window, facing out into the city, and peered off for a moment, as if into space. Her mind was working quickly. She wanted to unravel the mystery of why....why she'd been led here.

Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:02 am by Alkor Centaris

*It had been some time since Alkor had made his way this much closer to the core than Manaan. And he hated it. It felt like he was closer to all of the damnable memories than he ever needed to be. Fortunately, he wasn't all to keen on thinking about it right now. He'd taken a sabbatical of sorts, some time to figure things out. That was why he was on Zeltros- a planet full of people who could shift emotions around with their very being. A very relaxing place for an empath to be.

Sitting back in his booth with his hood drawn over his face, he didn't take in the look of the newcomer. Actually, he didn't take much in at all, save for his Corellian ale, the same stock he'd been gorging himself on steadily for a few hours now. The barkeep was making a killing on him; unfortunately, there was a legal limit, and Alkor was rapidly approaching it, stunningly enough without showing any signs of real innebriation.*

*He looked out from under the tattered, black shroud with a soft smile, extending his jug out toward the barkeep and placing his credit chip back down on the table.*

C'mon, ace, hit me again.

*The man begrudgingly topped Alkor off, though he was almost loathe to do so. The girl sitting across from the Dark Jedi, a cute blonde in informal attire, though with a respectable air about her, wore the scent of Lotus Blossoms. Kari Lebrau had taken a leave to attend Alkor personally on this trip, though he had asked her to stay behind and run things aboard Alverion. She had said something about not wanting him to get himself killed. And against his better judgment, Alkor had obliged.*

=Kari=
Alkor, why do you drown yourself in that poison?

*It was painstakingly obvious she was no fan of alcohol; Alkor sneered slightly at how much she reminded him of the actual reason he drank this much. Her. Everything had been linear until he and Alverion met her. And now... now both she and Alverion were gone. But Alkor wouldn't pass that blame onto Kari. She was a sweet girl, who actually cared about his health.*

It's nothing, luv, just an old habit. Can't even feel the burn anymore.

*He looked down at the jug as he spoke, a solemn sort of expression on his face. He quickly found his hood pulled back, though, her hand brushing through his messy brown hair.*

=Kari=
You know, a lot of people care about you, Alkor... you should be more careful with yourself. All the drinking, the fighting...

*And then, Alkor narrowed his eyes and peered at her, and Kari withdrew her hand. He wouldn't fall into that, not ever again. Survival was his priority now. And she was turned into a victim. So was Alverion. Whenever people acted like that, Alkor lost a piece of himself. And Alkor didn't want to lose Kari, let alone anymore... anything.*

Don't you worry your pretty head over me, Miss Lebrau. I've survived this long. If I die, I deserve it.

*He said those last words with a wink, but she immediately seemed to be upset by it. His face drained of amusement, his cheeks blushed red with the effects of the alcohol, and he sighed. Some jokes just weren't appropriate, he recalled.*

Kari, I'm sorry. You can go now, if you like?

*She looked back at him, having turned away with her nose upward, seemingly indignant. Now, however, she wore a delighted sort of smile. Alkor was showing her compassion, and she was going to milk it for all it was worth.*

=Kari=
Nope! You're stuck with me now. Can't go letting you die, Master Centaris.

*As she winked, Alkor's eyes narrowed into near glum slits and his lips set in a discheveled sort of expression; he was clearly not expecting her to one-up him like that. Damned crafty non force sensitive millitary women.*

Yeah, yeah...

*He went back to drinking rather promptly, taking a moment to look around the room. Kari wasn't going to do much other than play bodyguard, for now. She knew better than to try to emotionally advance on Alkor while he was drunk. If she couldn't get through to him sober, she'd only make him angry when he sobered up if anything happened...*

Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:45 am by Raven Alora

Alicia opened her eyes as she heard a voice. The voice was something that awakened her mind to the force and the goings on around her. She flinched slightly. She had no idea why the voice seamed to spark some mental activity within herself...but it did. She looked up and around at the people who either walked in, or out, or simply sat and ate....

Then her eyes met his.

Her brown eyes met the Jen'jidi's violet orbs and for that moment her breathing and heart stopped completely. Her lips parted slightly, and the blond woman setting between her and Alkor suddenly didn't exist. For that moment they were the only two in the room, at least with in Alicia's mind.

But why?

She blinked, gasping and looking away sharply, feeling self conscious about staring at someone else for that long. Had it been long? She felt like it had lasted an eternity. In all reality it had probably only been a few seconds. Nothing had caused her focus to slip so much in a great many years. Blinking rapidly she shook her head, putting a hand to her forehead and muttering something to herself.

By the force, what's happening to me?

She whispered softly to herself. At the peak of her distress.... her mind about to splinter into a thousand peaces....

Miss? ... Miss? can I get you something?

The voice made the young woman jolt violently, and startle the voice's wielder. Alecia's eyes widened and she peered at the waitress with unblinking, almost glazed eyes.

oh.. yes uh.... Just ... just some water please...

She blinked and looked away from the red skinned, violet haired Zeltron woman and bit her lower lip, attempting to get those strange eyes out of her mind.

Are you alright miss?

*The waitress asked once more, taking a slight step closer to the table, and extending a hand, attempting to calm the obviously stressed out creature before her.*

I'm... fine... I just need some water... Something to clear my head, is all....

Alicia said in a quavering voice and looked once more at the Zeltron, smiling slightly, and hoping to ease the woman's tension. She was... fine...really, wasn't she?

Tue Apr 26, 2011 9:47 pm by Alkor Centaris

*Alkor spat his ale on the table and his eyes widened as they contacted those brown orbs. He slammed his jug down on the table and blinked a few times. How drunk was he, exactly? No time to think about it, though, as Kari's hand slapped against his cheek lightly, and he looked back at her.*

=Kari=
Are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost.

*Alkor blinked again. He had, hadn't he? Just seen those entrancing eyes that had forced him to commit murder so as not to fall victim to their spell all those years ago. He was most likely drunk, because the girl was still there, but he was distracting himself now with Kari. She was pretty, wasn't she? Why was he letting her this close? He did trust her with his life, he had to admit, but...*

I'm fine, luv, don't worry.

*He whispered quietly, "you're dead, I killed you." And Kari's eyes widened as she looked into his own, haunted expression. She continued to hold his face gently, and she pulled him closer.*

=Kari=
Alkor, you're scaring me.

*He smiled as he looked back at her, his gaze softening. He supposed, for right now, it would be alright to let down his guard. He needed to get his mind off of her, to stop falling into this sudden and painful series of thoughts. He took in a deep breath and bit his lip, considering it for a moment...*

*...and then, Alkor lightly kissed Kari. His eyes twitched slightly beneath their lids and he took in a sharp breath through his nose. Alright, he hadn't expected that he'd had any feelings for her. That's why he'd been alright with it. But he did. And much to his surprise, she gave herself over to the kiss as well. Gently caressing his face, she looked so passionate, and then, he pulled away.*

*And Kari looked like she had lost a part of herself.*

*Alkor swallowed. Hard. Bad idea. That had been a bad idea. He looked the other way and quickly gulped down more ale, his face still red, but no longer from the alcohol. He hoped he could play it off. But... was the other woman watching? Would she recognize him? Was she even real?*

=Kari=
A... alkor? Wh... what was... where did that come from?

*He ignored her pointedly, pushing his emotions down. He couldn't make a scene here. He didn't want to tell her that he might actually have some shred of emotional attachment to her. But Alicia... if that was Alicia... how had she survived? And why did she create a lightsided disturbance in the darkness that permeated from him?*

Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:43 pm by Raven Alora

Alicia jerked her head back to the table the man was sitting at as she heard the sound of his jug slamming against the table. Something had happened. He had seen her and for some strange reason... He responded rather strangely. He was probably drunk, but why respond to her glance in such a strange manner? She wasn't anyone important. Heck, she didn't even know the man.

Then he did something that she had to simply ignore. He seemed to distracted himself with the blond woman across from him. That was all well and good. She didn't even know him, why should she care. The waitress came back with a glass of water and placed it before Alicia but for some reason the jedi didn't seem to notice. She seemed to still allow her eyes to linger in the general direction of Alkor. The waitress didn't say anything, figuring the woman to be .. just a bit out of it, and speaking to her last time had startled the poor girl. The Zeltron only smiled slightly and walked away.

Then he looked away from his companion and a strange doubting emotion rippled through the force. The man was dark, of that Alicia was certain. She could feel it through the force. Perhaps that was why she was here. Perhaps it was some precognition. Perhaps this man might attempt to harm someone, and She would have to attempt to intervene. Perhaps that was the will of the force.

But something told her otherwise. The man seemed really distressed, especially after seeing her. Perhaps, some how, he knew her, but she'd not known him. Maybe she'd crossed blades with him once? Out of the many she had fought before, it was possible that perhaps she might have perhaps forgotten one or two. She had to find out. Her curiosity was eating her alive.

Slowly Alicia stood from her seat, completely forgetting the presence of the water on her table. The path from her table to the man's table almost seamed highlighted in her mind, and she walked purposefully toward the two. Normally she wouldn't intrude on another person's affairs. Normally she would not encroach on two people talking to one another, or, in this case, doing something a bit more passionate, but this was a different matter. She felt a strange familiarity with this man, and she could not grasp why...she had to know.

Excuse me...

She said, almost in a whisper, but most certainly loud enough for both parties to hear her. She paused at their table and looked at them both equally, not wanting to other woman to get the wrong idea. She was not here to cause tension, she was a Jedi after all. Tilting her head and giving a kind and polite smile she asked a simple question, with a bit of explanation.

I was just over there, She said turning her head over to where she had previously been seated. and you both caught my eye... I was just wondering ... She turned her gaze then to Alkor, the question clearly being directed at him. Have we met before?

Wed Apr 27, 2011 6:43 pm by Alkor Centaris

=Kari=
Alk...?

*Before she could manage the words, Alkor had made the gesture for her to keep quiet. The woman he had been locking eyes with moments before had walked over... and was talking to them. She didn't know who he was, but he did seem familiar to her. Well, if she did exist, she didn't know who he was, and that, at least, was a relief.*

*Alkor looked past the woman, who looked exactly like the girl, Alicia, he had murdered not ten years ago now. The woman he had... had...*

*The woman who had made him kill his best friend. The woman who deserved to be ripped apart. The woman who should, in every right, be dead. All of these thoughts added to an unspoken tension between them; but Alkor wouldn't look up at her. He brought his ale to his lips and shook his head quietly. When he let the jug fall to rest on the table once more, he spoke in a calm voice, closing his eyes.*

No. If you met me, chances are, you wouldn't want to remember. Or at the very least, you'd spend your entire life trying to forget.

*Kari's jaw dropped. She had never seen Alkor so hellbent on shrugging someone off; this woman was clearly bothersome to him, but he was being obnoxiously rude to her. She persed her lips and drew her hand back from him, letting her arms fall neatly into her lap, where she held both hands palm up and stared blankly at them. Alkor most certainly did know this woman, of that, Kari was certain.

But why would he want to be rid of her, and with such abject heartlessness? What atrocity had she commited to garner this much... hate? Loathing? She couldn't put her finger on it, but this was the most off she had ever seen the Dark Jedi. And she knew that it meant something bad might potentially happen in the coming moments.

She prayed, silently, that Alkor would stay his hand. Kari wished often that Alkor would throw away the Force altogether, that he would stop making war, regardless of the cause. She'd been free of the Order because of him, finally, and even if they weren't going to ever be completely free, why not have some semblance of a normal life?*

*Alkor, however, caught that distress from Kari immediately, and his gaze shifted to her. She looked up after a moment, having felt his eyes looking into her, and she smiled softly. With a nod, Alkor looked back up to the woman.*

If there's nothing else...

*Alkor closed his eyes and smiled, turning his face so that the woman who plagued his thoughts could see his face entirely, and he nodded his head slightly.*

...we've done nothing wrong, ma'am. My name is Jerik Tor. I'm a trader from Corellia. This is my fiancee, Mirra Vel. We just want a little peace and quiet, is all.

*Of course Alkor wouldn't give her his real name. If this was the woman, she might remember the name. And if she were a Jedi, like he thought... well, she might run his CorSec records and find the warrant outstanding for Genocide and his underground activities for the Dark Jedi Order and his more recent involvement with Dark Tide. Not at all desirable things to come up.

Kari was also immediately aware of their false names being used. Jedi, perhaps? She looked warily up at the other woman and was immediately on guard. She let her hand turn over as she smiled, not yet reaching for her blaster... but she was worried, more than anything, about why Alkor might be covering something up.*

Wed Apr 27, 2011 11:07 pm by Raven Alora

Alicia peered quizzically at the dark jedi. He obviously didn't want her around, nor her conversation. That was all well and good, but there was still the strange urge, that need to know who this man was, and the feeling that ...she already knew to some extent. It made no sense. Reflexively she took a step back allowing her hands to hang at her sides. She blinked, glancing over at Kari and then back to Alkor as she put on a thoughtful expression.

His darkness was some what bothersome, especially in a place like this. Zeltros didn't bring many people to it's borders that had that dark of an aura about them. Sure darksiders did come and enjoy themselves, but Alkor seemed different than them in a way she couldn't quite place. And another thing, when she'd heard him speaking with the other woman, Kari had spoken his name a few times. She hadn't grasped the whole thing, but it certainly didn't start with a J.

This caused her to lift an eyebrow and ponder on how best to proceed. Then he looked at her and time stopped. Her face drained of color and her eyes glazed over, looking far off into ... no where.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eyes... eyes quickly fading of light, and orange beam of light, like the ray of a setting sun cast a ghostly glow on the strange paler of its victim's face. It wasn't the face she'd just seen in the diner, it was a different one...the face of a Mandalorian. The tall form of the man fell dieing, if not already dead to the ground at her feat, and the face she was now staring at was revealed.

Within her mind, within the memory that had so quickly been thrust upon her, their eyes met, Her brown orbs and his violet ones. She blinked....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...And opened her eyes, shaking her head slightly and taking another step back. How long had she been standing there, staring at him? how long has she been expressionless, breathless, and even motionless. Alicia put a hand to her mouth and looked away from both of them, wondering how foolish she must have appeared to them. She spoke, almost deliriously, under her breath, as if to herself but clearly audible to the others.

That's not your name.......

And she was making this worse, wasn't she? Blinking once more she looked back at Alkor and cleared her throat and her mind before speaking again in a bolder voice this time.

I knew it once... You have nothing to fear from me... All I seek is closure.

For a moment Kari didn't exist. She added softly.

Just the answer to this strange question.....then I'll leave you alone...
