Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Chad32]

Temrash waved to jackson's group, but didn't know what poker was. He looked around the room. He noticed Terenia, but decided not to bug her about before. She was Ossanlin's problem, and as long as her host didn't fall back into Visser Three's hands, he was happy. Corliss was around too, but since he had bungled up the rebellion just a minute ago he figured he didn't have much to say to Reven anymore.

Instead he just stayed in his seat to see what this poker thing was about.

Dara turned to the Minotaur. "You seem to have this under control, so I'll be leaving now." He walked into the Bar. He stood in the door and looked for Temrash. He headed over to the booth. "This place is indeed strange. I just saw a minotaur." <<I agree. Right after I met Temrash I shot a Dinosaur.>> <<I noticed that.>>

I watched the human girl change hair and eye color before responding to Vogefak. <<It's part of an old way of talking on Earth.>>

[Chad32]

"It is a strange place. That minotaur you saw is named Morgan, and he'd from another dimension. He was originally Human, but his government changed him into that. He's part of a crew of pirates, but he's a good guy." Temrash said.

Tora stares at Terenia with increasing worry during the pregnant pause. When the other woman finally does speak, Tora utters doubtfully, "As you say, Terenia."

To make matters even more uncomfortable, a disconcerting number of people are sending glances their way, most prominent among which is Corliss, who looks truly torn with indecision, or else irritated by the choice he has made to stay away. Unable to withstand the discomfort any longer, and knowing she must demorph within the next forty-two minutes anyway, she stands from her stool. "It seems you may have others waiting to speak with you. I'll leave you to it, then," she murmurs, giving her a polite nod and setting her eyes on the door to the bathroom behind her.

Kevlin nodded. "Do you have any plans for the future?" He was going to ask about the rebellion later.

[Chad32]

"My plans remain the same as always." Temrash said. "Gather enough power to take down the Council of Thirteen, while leaving the Andalites weak enough that they can't obliterate the remaining Yeerks. I will try to end the war peacefully after that, but if the Electorate doesn't get with the program I'll go after them too." He made the statement in a way that indicated he didn't care who knew what he planned. He was going to do it if it meant his own demise.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

Kevlin punched Temrash lightly on the shoulder. "I knew that! I was talking about the more immediate future. What about the Rebellion?"

[Chad32]

"Oh, right. Well I'm afraid I may have screwed up my entry into that club. Seems I ruffled the feathers of the rebel heading to the back of the bar, and she sent a message to command saying not to let me join. You might be able to get in, though. Talk to that guy over there." He said, pointing to Corliss. "Though he seems preoccupied with his girlfriend Terenia right now." He pointed at Terenia.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"Oh yes! The smoochers! Dara remembers them." Kevlin chuckles and then gets serious. "I'll stick with you. I was just wondering if we were going to merge forces."

[Terenia]

"Hm?" Terenia asks, clearly distracted once more. "Oh...yeah. Thank you for..." she trails off again, lost inside her own head.

<<I suppose you think that since you have sufferred such a terrible loss the rest of the galaxy needs to stop while you mourn,>> Efaen is saying, her tone icy.

<<I don't think->>

<<Well, let me tell you this, human,>> Efaen continues, cutting Terenia off, <<You have no right to grieve. You are a selfish, spoiled child and I have never in my life met someone with more blatant disrespect for life. You claim to love someone, to desire their protection and safety, and then you destroy them. What is worse, you fail to honor your own family. You do not get to mourn, child. Not for the life you yourself have ended.>>

Terenia is so shocked by the cold rage of Efaen, who hated Tamora and the Imperial values she stood for, that she is speechless. For a moment their body is paralyzed; Terenia is too stunned to do so much as twitch. Then the full weight of Efaen's words hit her like a sledgehammer. A large hole has been punched in the wall she so carefully constructed, and the tides are flowing in freely. Swept  away by a combination of grief and alcohol Terenia slips under and Efaen gains the advantage.

"Ah," Efaen says, licking her lips experimentally, "That is a major improvement." with newfound control over her limbs, Efaen jumps to her feet, swaying unsteadily for a moment before grasping for Tora's arm.

[Chad32]

"Eh, their loss more than mine." He said bitterly as he drank his alchohol. He didn't like losing out on a good alliance, but what's done is done. Unless they changed their mind.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"I suppose. Are you going to be needing me for now?" Kevlin asks as he stands near the table.

[Chad32]

"No. You may do as you like. However, try to be careful around here. Things can get dangerous from time to time, so make sure you have a communicator and weapon on you while walking around."

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"Communicator?" Kevlin smacked his forehead. "I forgot it on my ship. Do you happen to have an extra on you ship?"

[KitsuneMarie]

Tora's eyes widen at the abrupt change in Terenia, and she whips her head back around to stare at her. "What? Has your Yeerk lost control, then?" she asks, attempting to wrench her arm away. "Are you the Andalite host?" With as much authority as she can muster in such a position, she orders, "Release me."
