((Note to Locals: Some of my recent posts provide problems of their own. : ) Didn't want to, but it's the way the Bar falls.
One: Do we want Keshin to escape with Terenia or not? What Keshin says here is pretty sound logic. So should somebody find him before he manages it, or not? Two: Separating Issid and Elayne into two people is something of a problem for Kitsune, as is providing a third person for me to deal with. Mar's reluctance to bring someone he knows into the Bar goes with how his character's developed here...but it's also my own. As a fairly decent Roleplayer, let's just say I have a really good reason for avoiding the subject altogether most of the time. As interesting as that would make things. XD So what should we do? Any ideas? ...........and I do hope we can return things to normal after problems are solved.

Keshin wanders out of the Bar and begins to make the trek across the grass and dirt towards his ship. He never really understood how an asteroid had a lake and a sizable forest on it. He always chalked it up to one of the oddities of the Bar. All of a sudden Terenia's thought-speech intrudes upon his mind. Keshin frowns. <I wonder how she could possibly know that.>
<Hey, maybe the freaky chick has somethin' we don' know about. We should ask once we hit the ship.>
<No, we can't leave now. The others are leaving. We'll be seen as suspicious. Let's take a little detour.>
Keshin wanders off through the grass and then mutters quietly, "We can't leave until they're way gone. That way it'll take Ossanlin and company a little while to get back to us. And I seriously doubt his Dome ship can be programmed to fire on a particular aura. Only he can do that little trick."

Mar draws the circle around the small jewel on the non-palm side and brings up the screen again. He begins flipping through what seems to be a series of contacts, their names written in a language unknown to Elayne or Issid. Attempts to read it produce quick flashing images and some sort of word. Most of this is designed for a native speaker, and thus a bit too fast. She’s bound to catch bits and pieces of it, though. Mar then opens up another screen and begins typing out a series of words on a holographic typewriter. So far Mar’s system is not too far removed from Yeerk technology, thankfully. Though what Mar himself is typing seems…odd, and much clearer than whatever his respondent is saying. It’s clear from Mar’s responses that his contact has not expected to hear from him, but that his contact will do what Mar asks.
Mar turns to Issid and states calmly, “It may take…a bit of time for your host to get here. He is coming through whatever method of transportation is native to his universe and world. And the Bar is a…” Mar chuckles a bit. “…notoriously difficult place to get to when you’re actually trying to get there. I had a lot of problems when I went to find my Precious that first time. I assume that providing this will get you out of my hair until my friend fixes the timeline and you cease to bother Elayne at all? As I said, I do not
want this to become an issue.”
