Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

"I just want to know what's going on." John looked at Vogefak.

"Next time could you warn me before I get involved?" Kevlin replies jokingly.

[Terenia]

"It happens?" Terenia repeats incredulously, "That's your excuse for trying to punch me in the face? That's your excuse for causing this?" She waves her hand at the overturned bar tables, the small crowd of onlookers and Corliss' unconscious body. "It happens," she says again, her breath coming in short gasps. She takes a step forward, pulls her arm back and throws the most powerful punch her human body is capable of creating.

Temrash took the blow. Partly because he was still recovering, and partly because he doubted it would hurt. It didn't. "You want to start this again? I swear I'll kill you and forget you ever existed. It would be better than letting Visser Three retain two morph capable Andalite slaves." He pulled out his dracon. "Back off."

He looked over to Kevlin, and gave an apologetic shrug for involving him.

Charlotte twitches, but looks to Carson before intervening again. He shakes his head no. She couldn't do much to a Hork-Bajir as a human. And Temrash seemed to be in control, at least for the most part, and against causing more harm at the moment. Though he definitely kept an eye on them. Charlotte slowly kneels down and holds the ice against Mike's head. She hopes that Terenia won't turn on her. She searches nearby for something - anything - to stop the bleeding with, other than napkins. She pulls a table cloth off of one of the fallen tables and presses it against his gash.

Corliss instantly feels the pressure of the bag of ice.  He panics for a moment before he realizes it's making the surface of Mike's skull cold.

<Some kind of coolant,> he says to himself.  <Ice.  Good.  See, Mike, someone's helping you.>

The coolness of the ice brings with it the pain's sharpness, and Mike groans unconsciously. 

<Mike, wake up,> Corliss urges.  <Please.>

Mar purrs at this question. Every time it is asked, it manages to amuse him. "I am a being of darkness, really. A demon, I suppose you could say. Though I did not begin in such a way, and I am very large. I call beings of my size Highest. The human species tends to call them kami or gods...or angels, depending on their religion. I have spent...a lot of time with human beings. They are..."

Mar chuckles. "...or at least they can be wells of destruction and despair. Mortality is a curse."

[Terenia]

Terenia lets out a yelp of pain as her fist connects with Temrash's scull, her knuckles immediately beginning to swell. Shooting Temrash a look of pure hatred she turns from him and kneels next to Corliss once more.

"Give me that," she demands, reaching towards Charlotte for the ice, "I'll watch him."

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"This is just like old times. Eh, Temrash?" Kevlin doesn't worry about Terenia. There isn't much she can do as a human.

[Stephquiem]

"Hmm," Fiona mutters, not sure what to say to this. "You know, I'd assumed that what you're talking about didn't exist." She laughs. "Though, I guess I shouldn't be surprised."

"By the way." Fiona jerks her thumb at the activity in the bar. "Is this... er... normal?"

[Chad32]

"Yeah. Nothing ever changes with me. Feels like I'm running in circles. It's never dull, though. And hey, I'm not always the cause of everything we get in, right? You're not always the most well behaved. You may not pick fights, but in the right mood you have a smart mouth."

[warren_bearclaw]

Charlotte gives Terenia her space once again, but stays on the floor only a yard or so away. She still focuses on Mike, hoping for some sign of a response. She sheds a tear, but she isn't sure why. Maybe it's because of how angry she is at all of them for having an old Western bar fight. Or maybe it's because she couldn't handle being responsible for his death. Or perhaps it's the confusion over the chaos of the past ten minutes. And that wasn't taking into account the many other thoughts and emotions rolling around in her head.

[Shenmue654]

Mar taps at the table irritably. His wine glass still hasn't arrived. That damnable silent bartender must be distracted or something. He then turns around in his chair in response to Fiona's comment. The Bar appears to have once again gotten into some sort of hassle...over Terenia again?! At his best guess. Mar rolls his eyes.

"Oh, that situation is never over," he mutters. "And yes, the Bar always has this...quality to it. One wonders why people come here to relax. As for demons...things like that exist, yes. I'm surprised you have not noticed us, considering you are dead. Can you not see beyond yourself and this? In a better state, I myself would see it all the time."

[Terenia]

Terenia takes Charlotte's position, pressing the bag of ice against the growing bruise on Mike's body. She leans over to inspect the wound, all thoughts of Temrash gone as concern for Corliss rushes in.

"If he dies," Terenia says softly to Charlotte, her voice constricted, "so will all of you. I promise you that."

[Myitt]

Mike stirs faintly.  

"Five more minutes, mum," he murmurs.  

<That's not your mother, and you are badly hurt,> Corliss insists.  Gently he tries to tap into Mike's eyes.

His eyes snap open, staring blearily left and right.  Something wrong with the left one...too blurry.  Corliss blinks a few time, wincing, realizing there's something stinging the eye.  Blood?

"Mmrh," he manages to say.  "How...bad is it?"  He shuts his eyes again, hit with a wave of pain and nausea.

[Chad32]

"Oh please. Hey Bartender. Grab my drink for me." Temrash said, unimpressed by Terenia's threat. the Bartender got his drink for him, and he took some long gulps. "Your host started this because you let her. Punish her if you want, but save the empty threats."
