*Sleep is indeed a luxury that most people cannot afford these days. It remains a luxury for the young man lying on the ground surrounded by strange fauna. Sleep smothers his thoughts like a mother wrapping her child in warm cloth. It is a peaceful and comforting fortress moving along the serene sounds of nature. He can hear the leaves rustling and the small creatures stirring. This deep into the wilderness, no one can hear the roaring boom of starships and the hum of many speeders. Like a natural orchestra, the forest goes along with the otherworldly dream the young man has. It is beautiful but simple. And Preston Blightseeker hates every single minute of it. Using every bit of mental strength, he forcibly yanks his spirit from the after-lullaby that was his sleep and opens his eyes to see just where the hell he is now.
*He sits up and shakes off the cobwebs loitering his mind.* He doesn't strech but feels that his body has not been active for a some time now. Not being able to remember how he got here, he could, however, place that he has been here between a couple of days to a week from the look of his clothes. Gone is his coat, but he never uses it during jobs. A job. Preston reaches a bit further this time to remember but comes short; his last memory was about what he had for breakfast the day he accepted the job. He knows he was on the job but he can not seem to recall anything else. He can't remember the client's face or his(or her) name. There is no memory of what the job was either.*He reaches behind him to feel the cold steel of his rapier's hilt behind buckled to his belt.* What was he doing? And where is he?
Now Mr. Blightseeker likes to amuse himself with memory games on an ordinary working day from his high-rise on Coruscant. But this is not an ordinary day. He is not in his high-rise office. And this is certainly not Coruscant.
*He stands up, trying to recall some basic planetary biology so that he could pick a direction in order to get himself to civilization and starts walking.*
His body is groggy. His eyes are not yet sharp. His movements are slower than usual. Preston does not like peaceful sleep and now someone is going to meet his blade for making him experience it.* *He smiles. For the thought of killing for such a petty reason tickles his fancy.*
