Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Cobra (Gymn)]

<<I know.>> Dara knows there nothing he can do so he retreats deep into his mind for the time being.

[KitsuneMarie]

"Sometimes," Elayne says, walking with Mar towards the building, "time seems to pass so slowly here. So much can happen in an instant. I think that, surely it has been longer than a few days since I arrived, but I've only slept two or three times." She looks at him. "Do you know how long you've been here?"


Illim can't see Tora's sharp nod off-screen, but the sigh of irritation he heaves is well-timed. "Then will you please give me a way to contact you? I'll go in search of a host and let you know when I'm ready to join you. Even if the job you're talking about is gone, surely there'll be something else I can do."

He glances up at the newcomer to the Bar, immediately noting her crisp Imperial uniform. Rounding his shoulders, he hunkers over the device and speaks more quietly. "One of them just came in the bar. Assuming she's not yours...?"

Temrash searches the ground for tracks, and begins following Efaen's trail towards the lake. He notices Terenia's jerky behavior as she tries to quickly learn how to walk like a Hork-Bajir, but says nothing. The hatch closes behind them as they leave.

[RAFrukh]

Vogefac walks away. He starts to head for the shipyard, but he feels the need to take one last look at the bar close up.

Afterwards, he walks up to his ship, "Frederick, I am now by my ship. It is the Yellow one with green glinting. I will wait for you to arrive."

[Shenmue654]

Mar chuckles slightly as they pass along the paths through the asteroid. It's not entirely clear how a backwater place like this even got an atmosphere, grass, and a lake. For all Mar knows, the bartender might've simply shown up here and the rest came with him. Time was the least of his worries. "Elayne...the thing is, I barely even notice. Time seems to pass in this way to me normally. It comes of living forever. The individual hours and days aren't worth mentioning. Although..."

Mar pauses, as if thinking the situation over. "...I can't claim that I haven't noticed anything wrong with this place. In fact, I was one of the first people to care. The Bar itself strikes me as dangerous. Inhibitions drop here and people behave strangely. If the two of us were in any other place, I would never have cared about you. Even in a mortal body. A dozen different conflicts erupt by the day's end. If there are such things as days here."

[Chad32]

Fredrick found Vogefac's ship. "I believe I've done everything I need to do. everyone I've most effected here has been apologized to. I can't guarantee someone else from my past won't find me, but I'll just have to deal with them if they come. Let's get off this rock. There's another Dark One here that I'd really like to get away from."

[RAFrukh]

Vogefac opened the hatch, but turned after a second, "Dark One?"

He continued to walk in. He walked up to the bridge.

"Attention! Colonel on the Bridge!", announced his first officer, Commander Ckaaby.

He raised his hands in a signal to calm, "This is our new passenger, Frederick. His official title, as far as you are concerned, is Frederick the Endurer. He has been through more than any of you have. He is not a member of the RDF, but you will look up to him with the same respect and honor as you look upon Commander Ckaaby with."

He walked up to the two seats next to eachother that himself and Ckaaby sat in, "Commander, this is Frderick. Frederick, this is Commander Ckaaby."

Then he walked to the tactical station, "Frederick this is my tactical officer, Solder Xedulan. Over here is my communications officer Soldier Waqoron."

Finally he walked to the front of the bridge, "And this is my Operations and Systems manager, Cadet Nefenok."

[Chad32]

Fredrick gave a nod of acknowledgement to the people Vogefac introduced him to. "It it nice to meet you all."

"Yeah, there's a guy here that is a being similar to the guy that I was made prisoner by. I don't know why he's here, but a being such as that is far too powerful for us mere mortals to tangle with."

[RAFrukh]

Vogefac nodded, "Then I take it you are no longer as powerful as you once were?"

He turned to the armrest console to his left, and punched a few claw sensitive buttons. A humanoid chair materialized to his right.

"Please, sit. I cannot wait to hear your story."

He touched a few more keys, and the screen blinked to look at the bar, "Amazing...I was only here a very short while. But I have already developed an affinity to it..."

He turned to the pad on his right armrest, and the ship began to lift off...

[Myitt]

"Judging from what happened back there, I don't reckon it was her fault," Corliss says gently, taking a few steps closer.  "You're just exhausted."  He heaves a sigh, smirking.  "Believe me, I know how that feels."

---

"Sure, this line is encrypted, you can--" Myitt pauses, frozen.  "Wait.  One of ours?"  Her gaze darts to Tora briefly.  "I have no idea what you're talking about."

[Chad32]

"I don't really know how powerful I still am, but I was made into a servant. I think that guy who calls himself Mar is the avatar of an actual higher being. Not a servant, but rather a part of the lead creature. that was the feeling I got."

Fredrick sat down. "You want to know my story, huh? I'm actually pretty old by Human standards. Humans live for eighty to a hundred years, but I'm actually a Vampire. We live until we are killed, and it's been...how long has it been? I'm not sure. Just a few centuries? As you live longer, time seems to pass by faster. Anyway, I was Human once. I was cursed by a seductive woman, and turned into a blood sucker."

"Blood is my main means of survival, though since meeting The One I have also been able to feed off energies. I rarely killed, mainly because most of the people I fed on came back. There's a certain drug-like effect to Vampire feeding that makes people yearn for it again, and I can also do that with energy. It will pass with time, though."

"Eventually I was found out. Hunted as a monster. Times got rough, and the servant found me desperate and afraid. I spent years trapped in that void, watching new souls get dragged into it. Eventually souls just give up hope and lose themselves. Now that I'm free...I'd like to live again, but I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'm glad you made me this offer. I could stand to spend time with your people, and start over."

[RAFrukh]

"Intriguing. My own species may live up to 300 years on average, but that is only because we are mostly cold-blooded. Our metabolism is slow."

The view screen was still on the rock that held that deceivingly obscure shack. Vogefac prepared to enter pulsce speed.

"Before we enter pulsce, I must warn you. My people can travel nonrelatively faster than light in M-space. Stars streaking by may sometimes make a person used to the blank nothingness of Z-space dizzy, or nauseous. Now that you are duly warned, if you have need of blood it may comfort you to know that Reptilinod do not bleed their food like humans. And our replicators can make you any meal you want –– albiet a dead one. And we are more than happy to accept you into our peoples. You may even join the Reptilinod Defense Force one day."

I woke up...

"Bartender, how long was I passed out?", asked Vissi Ya-Wiq.

the bartender handed him a piece of paper that read: "Almost a week."

Vissi Ya-Wiq was in no mood for games, "That's not funny. Why, I could ask Tycoon Brett Xi-Jug to buy this bar and tear it up by the roots!"

He got up. He caught himself as he almost fell...

[Chad32]

"Maybe I will join. Who knows. I'm sure this new life will be different from the last one." Fredrick said. "You know if I was given charge of something, and be expected to stand my ground instead of just giving way, I think I'd rather try to win." He said with a chuckle. "Then again I've had first hand experience with your level of skill."

[RAFrukh]

Vogefac smiled.

The red pulsce engines glowed, then the ship took off out of sight. In the distant space a single flash of blood red signalled the final departure of the RISS Zetylon, Lieutenant Colonel Vogefac, and Frederick the Endurer...

[Stephquiem]

Fiona finishes her food, then grabs her plate and still partially filled glass and goes back to the bar. She sets them on the counter with unceremonious thump! "Might as well get me another gin and tonic," she tells the bartender, climbing onto a stool.

The bartender writes something down on his little notebook, then holds it out to her. She squints at it. "Now you're asking?" She rolls her eyes and takes out her wallet. She peruses it for a moment. "You take credit cards? Actually, forget it." She pulls out a card. "Make it debit."

The bartender takes the card, looks at it, then looks at Fiona.

"What's'a matter?" She grins. "Don't I look like an 'Adam Kohl' to you?"
