Shalner watches the exchange between Myitt and the stranger silently. She finishes off her water, then asks. "Myitt, can you get me some more water, please?"

[Myitt]

Tara glances at Shal.  "Hey, yeah, Myitt's kind of indisposed.  I however don't mind."  She smiles and taps her fingers on the bar next to Myitt's Dracon and the little tub. 

The bartender comes over with a glass of wine for Mar and comes around the bar to hand Shal a glass of water from the convoluted water filtering machine. 

"So what did you take from her, anyway?" Tara asks curiously, addressing Mar.  "And why hasn't she told me about any of this?  She doesn't repress her memories, she complains to me about them."

Conner ubbed his eyes, and asked, his voice stricken with awe.

"Um, what was that, back, gooey thing?"

[Myitt]

Tara blinks at Conner.  "Who, this?"  She points at Myitt.  "Um, it's Myitt.  Haven't you ever seen a Yeerk before?  Jesus, I thought you were fighting them, you should know your enemy."  She pauses.  "'Cept it's not her."

[Gumby]

Conner sighed in frustration.

"No, that black, thing that went after Shal. and I'm Captain conner herons of the ESF."

[Myitt]

"Yeah, I know you're Conner, we've only been hanging out for the last day or two," Tara says, smiling.  "My name's Tara.  Nice to meet you.  And that black, oozey thing?  Sh*t, I don't know.  Myitt thought it might be something called a 'bouncer', but to me, that only brings up images of big beefy guys with 'Mom' tattoos who want to pummel your face when you start hurling on the floor."  She considers.  "Maybe that's what it was going for, who knows."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal holds up her glass of water and very deliberately dumps it on the floor. She looks at Tara "Sorry, Tara. I didn't realize Myitt was..indisposed. Can you please get me some more water?"

[Shenmue654]

Mar smiles a bit. "She doesn't remember because it would be difficult for her to remember as much. If she knew what had happened, she would be somewhat disturbed by my presence and possibly everything else as well. Besides, it is not the kind of thing you would remember clearly."

Mar glances towards Conner and states, "Are you also new to this place?"

[Myitt]

Tara blinks at Mar.  "Why would she be disturbed by your presence?  I really wish you'd explain yourself clearly."  She picks up Myitt's Dracon and puts it back in her jacket, shifting her injured arm and biting her lip. 

She looks over at Shal for a long moment.  "Oh.  Uh, sure, hang on."  She asks the bartender for another glass of water, which he supplies almost grudgingly, and she slides off the chair with the glass in her left hand.  "I'll be right back, Mar."  Tara pauses, looking back at Myitt swimming around in the tupperware container.  Sitting next to the strange creature who just said they wouldn't remember him and if they did, they'd be disturbed by it.  She hesitates, taking a step toward Shal, but unable to carry both the water and the tupperware in her single useful hand.  She takes a quick step back toward the bar, then stops again.  In the end she walks quickly over to Shal, handing her the water and leaning down, keeping the bar counter in her line of sight.  "What is it?" she hisses, sounding very like Myitt when she's annoyed, or at least anxious.

[Shenmue654]

"And I won't. At least, not here," says Mar aloud, but mostly to himself. He glances towards the odd exchange going on between Tara and Shal, interested. I wonder what she wants with him, then. I should simply leave. I've agreed to pay the tab; I have no more reason to be here....

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal's eyes glass over, and she shrugs. "Nothing, nothing." She turns and stares at Breekan.

[Myitt]

"That's it?" says Tara flatly.  She stands up.  "Are you alright?"  She blinks, shakes her head.  "Sorry, I hafta...don't want to leave her over there."  She rubs the back of her neck awkwardly, then walks back over to the bar counter, glaring at Mar.  "Look buddy, you came here for something other than generosity.  What's the connection?  If you won't tell me, then maybe you'll tell her."  She fishes Myitt out of the little pool, gesturing with her.  Myitt squirms in her hand, unsure who exactly has her in their grasp.

[Shenmue654]

Mar snickers a bit at Tara, stroking Myitt a bit with his hand. "I came here to determine whether something in this place was significant, and I have found nothing. Only old servants of an associate of mine and frightened travelers. The entire trip has been effectively useless. But..."

Mar leans in, looking Tara in the eyes. "I think you understand somewhere that I would have a reason to check up on Myitt."

[Myitt]

Myitt just keeps squirming, almost trying to get out of Tara's hand.  It's hard to tell but it almost seems like she shudders at Mar's touch. 

"Yeah?  I think that much is obvious.  What're you, her long lost bodyguard?  No.  You want something from her, or you have something she wants.  If you won't tell us, then there's no way I can trust you.  And neither can she."  She holds Myitt to her ear and she slithers back in, a little bit at a time.  Tara collapses against the bar counter as control of her legs shifts to the Yeerk.  She slurs, "s'okay..." and slouches against the counter for a few long minutes, eyes tracking, the last of Myitt's tail disappearing into her head.  Eventually she looks at Mar, mouth set in fury.  "Okay, cut the bullsh*t," Myitt snaps.  "Tell me who you are, and why I...can't remember.  And why you make me loathe the color pink."

[Shenmue654]

"Interesting," notes Mar as he watches the last of Myitt slither up into Tara's ear. "I knew that would happen, but in this state I have never personally witnessed that. It looks..." Mar winces a bit. "Disgusting."

Mar then grins widely. "If I told you who I was, you wouldn't believe me. And even then I wouldn't be telling the truth due to the complicated state of affairs in this place. I had to come here in a somewhat vulnerable way, and I'm not enough of a fool to go around spreading personal information when you have a Dracon at your side."

Mar pats Myitt lightly on the head condescendingly and states, "I can't tell you why you can't remember what happened, and I think you have always loathed any color that would make you seem weak, mm? Don't be such a bother."

(Yes, Mar is a jerk. All the time. I hate him too, but he's fun to play. :p )
