Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[KitsuneMarie]

"I'll say," Elayne gives a self-deprecating laugh, rubbing her arm. "So what's this circle about? Are you saying I'd have to cage myself in, somehow? And what makes you so sure that your mortal self couldn't just... come with me somewhere?" she asks. Her cheeks have finally returned to their normal color, although they're partially hidden by the loose strands of dark hair that have escaped her messy ponytail. Her normal appearance does not, however, betray the almost continuous nervous fluttering in her stomach.

[Chad32]

"I suppose we should begin with those who are easiest to obtain. Silver, you could find one of your friends, and invited them here. Your parents, or someone else. Far be it from me to keep a family apart, isn't that so?" Evil Fredrick said. "Just make sure not to tell them what you're really doing up front. The unenlightened just don't understand the greatness of the One."

[Myitt]

"Yeah," Myitt sighs, stuffing her hands into her jacket pockets as she walks along.  "Your well being is more important, yours and everybody else's back home." 

She looks down at the pebbles that ricochet out from around her boots. 

"Hey, you haven't seen Corliss, have you?" says Myitt, anxiety creeping into her tone.  "I thought he'd be back at the bar, but I didn't see him.  He wouldn't leave without telling me...would he?"  She looks skeptically over her shoulder, back at Tora.

[KitsuneMarie]

"I believe the last time I saw him, it was not long after Terenia..." Tora does not finish her sentence, instead electing to say, "It has been a while. I do not think he was intending on leaving the Bar, though. At least not immediately." She removes the communication device from her pocket and offers, "I would be happy to contact him to establish his whereabouts, should you wish it."

[Shenmue654]

Mar chuckles. "Well...that isn't far off. The point of the circle around the caster is essentially to prevent the summoned demon from attacking them. Although I am more...civilized as far as evil entities go, I can't count on my other selves not being hungry for your pure little soul." Mar practically purrs at this last comment.

Upon hearing Elayne's next suggestion, Mar turns bright red and begins to play with his hands nervously. "Ehrm, uhm, well...I mean I'd love to go with....mmm, yes. I mean...if it's possible for me to remain mortal outside of this Bar. All the other mortal forms I took were in some way their own person. This one is just..."

Mar glances off. "...an unstable mess of lives and identities that I was thinking about when I arrived. Depressing, is it not?"

[Myitt]

Myitt nods quickly, still walking. 

"Yeah.  Yeah, would you mind hailing him?  I just..." Her shoulders slump.  "I worry about him in this awful place," she mutters.

[KitsuneMarie]

"Not depressing," Elayne smiles, although she looks a little unsure. All of his embarrassed mumbling makes her wondering the precise nature of the undercurrent of his thoughts. "In case you haven't noticed, I rather like you," she teases, fighting off red cheeks again. She hates how easily she blushes around him; it's so uncomfortable.

"Anyway," she clears her throat, "so you're saying that we couldn't be sure that you'd be the version of Mar who'd show up if I summoned you?"


"Of course," Tora nods, offering her friend what she hopes is a bolstering smile as she compresses the button and directs her call to Corliss's communication device.

"Corliss, come in. This is Tora." Her voice is calm. Calmer than she would have imagined after the shock and frustration of speaking with Serid. It seems their meeting has had a strange, and perhaps somewhat hardening, effect on her.

[Myitt]

Mike starts from his half-conscious daze, swatting at a non-existent alarm clock. 

"Nah mum, it's Sa'urday," he slurs, as the comm link beeps incessantly.  He squints down at his pockets, wiping drool from his face and then, as an afterthought, from the metal counter.

"Eugh," he mutters, running his hands along the thighs of his uniform, and pulling the link out of his pocket.

"Hello?" he says hoarsely. 

---

"Tell him to stop sleeping on the job," Myitt jeers.

[KitsuneMarie]

Tora gives an indulgent smile, even though Mike can't see it. "Corliss? Are you well? Myitt and I were wondering if you are still located on the planetoid. Please give your location," she says into her comm link, holding it between her and Myitt so they can both use it.

[Myitt]

Mike clears his throat, rubbing at an eye.

"Um...this is Mike, yeah," he says blearily.  "Cor's off for a swim with Terenia, reckon he'll be back soon enough.  Hit me 'ead back in the bar, so don't let it shock you, I'm fine. It was close, but we're both fine. Just feel like I drank a few too many pints.  Where've you been, then?  Missing a lot of action over 'ere, and besides, I reckoned uh...yeah, I remember you saying you were heading back 'ome.  Can't leave this place either?"  He laughs tiredly.

---

"You hit your head?" Myitt snaps.  "Don't do that, it'll bruise your pretty face.  As long as you're okay..."

---

"Yeah.  Like I said, nothing a good night's, a cuppa and maybe a couple of Panadol won't fix."

---

"What's he doing talking to Terenia...like that?" Myitt asks hesitantly, glancing at Terenia.

---

A small bout of static.  "Christ, me 'ead, can I explain it to you later?  It's a long bloody story."

---

Myitt shrugs.  "Just get home safe and tell me there, okay?  That's an order."

---

"Yes, mummy."

---

Myitt rolls her eyes.  "Weird.  I wonder what the hell that's all about..."  She shakes her head and keeps walking.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Evil Silver looked to her master with bright eyes. "Oh, you mean it? I promise I'll do this right." She said. "Shall I go now?" She asked.

[Chad32]

"Indeed. Go now. The rest of us will be waiting here." Evil Fredrick said."

[Terenia]

<It was human, as far as I could tell,> Terenia responds, sounding slightly embarassed at the results of the battle. <I was caught off guard.> Terenia thinks back to the whip that had flayed her arm open so easily. <He had a weapon that was fast and allowed him to keep his distance, and I was weaponless except for my tail. It wasn't exactly a fair fight. As for Efaen...I suppose that is my fault. She has not slept since we arrived here, and it has been one thing after another since then. Her body just gave out on me. After all the morphing, all the fighting...everythi ng. I don't think she could handle it anymore. At least not physically.>

Despite Terenia's obvious dislike of Efaen her voice is tinged with worry for the unconscious host.

<What happened after Efaen was knocked unconscious? All I know is that I was carried somewhere and...then she started having that attack or whatever it was. Then Ossanlin was there, forcing her to demorph. I didn't even know he could do that.> Her words regarding Ossanlin are not unkind, but they are steeped in suspicion, and it is clear that his strange powers worry her.


"I suppose that's true," Trey relented with a small smile, his blush fading slightly. He holds out his own hand, clasping it in hers for a moment. "My name is Treyliss. Everyone calls me Trey, though. Welcome to the bar. I'm sorry about the whole ****roach aliens abducting you." He hesitates for a moment, not entirely sure where to go from the introduction. Glancing back towards the bar he adds, "Are you hungry? From what I hear the bartender can make just about everything."

[Midnight_Huntress]

Evil Silver gave a smile and bowed before running into the forest and headed back to the bar. Who first? Her mother? No...her father. He would be the hardest but with Silver now enlightened she had an upper hand since her father was protective of her.

[RAFrukh]

"We're almost there!", I yelled to Frederick 1 and Artemis 1.

I skidded next to claxter, "Come on, we should get out of here."
