((And I feel 14....hehehe...welc ome Chad, join in on the madness that is the Space Bar :D ))

Myitt, still impatiently waiting for Ossanlin to stabilize, seems to notice for the first time that Shalner is sitting near her at the bar counter.  She does a doubletake.  "Shal...your leg's healed?  What the hell's going on around here, I'm dead for just a few minutes and I miss all the good stuff."

<She sort of vanished.  Lots of people have been doing that tonight,> says Tara.

Corliss laughs again, addressing Mike.  "You've got me there, mate, I'd probably feel the same way.  Not to mention that's my brother you tried to kill.  Myitt, I mean."

While waiting for Shal to respond Myitt glances at the new arrival, a torn up Hork-Bajir.  Her eyes narrow as she regards what's clearly an Andalite tail blade wound, a deep and heavily scarred one, on his chest.  She feels edgy, knowing that it's rare for Hork-Bajir to show up around here who do not have a Yeerk in their head.  Especially considering a Hork-Bajir Controller, who might still be nearby, tried to kill her earlier.  But no, this wasn't Seran.  One of his lackeys perhaps?  She doesn't realize she's now staring at him, suspiciously. 

<One death was quite enough for one day, thank you.>

<Are you even talking to me?> Tara murmurs.

<Mmh.  Not really.>

<Nice to see you, too.>

The bartender hands the Hork-Bajir something purple, tendrils of smoke rising off of it.  He wipes his calloused, pale hands on his apron and clicks a black pen, flipping to a fresh page in his little yellow notebook.  He scribbles on it and shows it to the Hork-Bajir.  It reads, in Galard, "Cash or tab?"  The bartender, who looks like a weary human man, a bit pudgy around the midsection, stares the Hork-Bajir down with endlessly patient but somehow quite cold grey eyes.

Shal coughs, her arm jerks, and knocks over the glass of Redin. It spills on the counter, soaking into her jacket and hair. She doesn't seem to notice.

((Welcome Chad!  Prop up a stool, have a drink, and join in on the strange reality-skewed black-hole that we play around in...we like to call it the Space Bar.))

((Oh, and I'm kinda waitin' on Mar to respond IC...can't really do much otherwise...stuck in my own crazy mind for the moment.))

(You're kidding! Wow.)
  
(Not at all! Myitt, Applix, Ossanlin, Breekan1, Alic, Prince Ronny and I have been RPing this since around the time Animorphs was first released. Welcome aboard! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. :) )

(I don't know what the most current thing going on is, but I brought in my character, and have decided a basic backstory for him. If any character wants to talk to him, he'll be nice. But not very friendly.)

((And you can feel free to talk to any other characters :)  It hasn't always been an ongoing story over the last ten years, just that some of the characters still have the same problems and the setting is still a bar in space.  Enjoy :)))

The controller got his drink, and after a few sips he started to loosen up. He turned around to look at the crowd of unfamiliar faces. He wondered what their stories were. He wondered if he should even get involved. Yeerks being social creatures, it was hard for him to stay distant. But his hearts also felt pain from far too much loss and betrayal to fully open to anyone. The only person he could open up to now was his host, but there were only so many times you can talk to one person before you both become bored.

((Just so you know, Myitt looks like a human woman in her twenties, of Italian decent, with an American accent.  She's wearing torn blue jeans and an even more badly torn black trenchy-looking jacket, and her right sleeve is covered in dried blood and is bulging from weird cement-like bandages underneath the fabric.  Her face is also bruised and puffy on one side, like she got walloped in the face.  She has steel toed army looking boots that surprisingly aren't torn up, and she has brown frizzyish curly hair.  The general gist is that she got all of her clothes from a dumpster at Hot Topic, heh; Corliss looks in his late twenties but is a British Caucasian guy in a much nicer black single-piece uniform with no real insignia, and a black belt of weaponry that would look familiar to anyone who knows Yeerkish weapons.  Hope that helps.  You can probably tell what they are, since it's a little obvious, but I'm gonna let your character figure it out :) ))

Myitt shakes her head and turns away from the newcomer at the noise of the glass tipping.  She blinks at Shal.  "Hey...hey, man, you're gonna drown in the stuff," she says, gesturing to the bartender, who sighs noiselessly and starts sopping the Yeerkish liquor up with a dish rag.  The bartender has left his notebook reading "cash or tab?" next to the Hork-Bajir Controller. 

Myitt glances at Ossanlin again, worriedly.  She can see he's still breathing, twitching sporadically, but Mar still seems to be working whatever magic he's working.  She still can't help but feel an extreme sense of distaste for the creature, even though he's attempting to save her friend.

<You want me to tell you, or should I just let you find out in here?>

<I know, I know.  Guy's got me pinned to the wall for all eternity, like some cute little butterfly.>

<That guy's watching us,> says Tara suddenly.

<How do you know, do you have eyes in the back of your head?  You're worse than me.>

<I can just tell.>

<Ugh...he's watching everyone.  That's what people do here, remember?>

Corliss, across the room, has noticed the new guy sitting near his sibling and his sibling's friends, as well.  Still engaged in conversation with Mike, he lets his hand rest on the Dracon at his belt.  Just in case.  New people always made him paranoid.

"Hey," says Myitt irritably in Galard, snapping her fingers next to the new guy.  "I'm kind of in the middle of a lot of stuff here, but I don't recognize you and it's bothering me.  What's your name?"

"Temrash 946. Sorry to be a bother. I was just looking for an empty seat." He said, as he placed some cash on the table for the bartender. "I cam here for some rest and maybe to refuel my ship. I've been on the move for a while now. My host's name is Jagill, if you happen to care. You look almost as bad as I do."

Myitt smiles mirthlessly.  "Yeah, this place will do that to you.  Makes me wonder why I hang out here for fun..." She clears her throat.  "Well met, Jagill and Temrash Nine-Four-Six, I'm Myitt One-Nine-Five.  My host's name is Tara.  And it's unusual for a Yeerk to care enough to introduce his host.  Is that why you're on the run?"

"Yes, part of the reason. As you probably know, host sympathizing is looked down upon. There are other reasons. It started small, but over the years it built up. One thing led to another, and even though I steadily rose in rank I made many enemies on my side of the battle. If I have to fight Yeerks as well as Andalites, I figure I may as well stop being on an official side." He said. He didn't realize she was a controller, but then it's quite hard to tell. He wondered if that was how the Andalites feeled about his people. Now that he knew she was a Yeerk, he wondered if she was one of the ones hunting him. In the end it didn't really matter. He didn't fear death, and many hunters had already fallen before him.

Myitt raises her eyebrows and looks down at the counter.  "Hmh," she says thoughtfully, switching to English.  "I guess we need better PR."  She looks back at Temrash, going back to Galard.  "You've never heard of the Yeerk rebellion?  The civil war?  Militant guerilla terrorist traitors on some moon somewhere?  Been giving the Empire quite a lot of trouble, from what I understand.  Sounds like your kind of people.  If you're going to be ostracised by the Empire and Andalites alike, might as well associate yourself with a whole group of the sorry creatures."

<You're so bad, you know that?>

<Yes, I know,> says Myitt silently, smugly amused.

<Fruitcake.>

<Trap.> Jagill said.

<Maybe.>

"I have seen and heard of people who tried to rebel against the Empire. But unless they were very powerful, or have trustworthy connections, they didn't last very long. I've been distancing myself from everything, so it's possible that I've overlooked the groups you speak of. Being a combat specialist has allowed me to get this far, but I feel like everything will catch up to me soon. How would I join this group of yours, Myitt?

Myitt smiles at Temrash.  "I never told you it was my group.  But I daresay you'd have to prove yourself to them.  They don't seem like the most trusting group in the universe.  Understandably, if they've survived this long."  She shrugs, tapping the bar counter.  "Bartender, get me a redin, and another one for Shal.  She's being awfully messy, keep it out of arm's reach."  In a moment she looks back at Temrash, taking her drink and sipping it.  "You could start by agreeing to a full memory dump and a bioscan, and an observatory quarantine period in a blastproof room.  Meals included, yes bark can be grown underground."

He might have laughed at her face, or said something rude, but he took another drink and remained composed. "I'm being chased across the galaxy. Do you have any idea how hard it would be for me to volunteer to be locked in a room, and have all my memories dumped? It would be too easy for me to be killed, or have my memories wiped and become brainwashed. I'm sure it would be hard if the group of rebels is legit. They want to protect themselves and others, so they need to know they can trust an individual, but the individuals they take in have cause to not trust others. I could agree to a bioscan. I may agree to the memory dump on the condition that I work the machine myself."

"I know exactly how hard it is.  And no, you can't work the memory dump machine by yourself.  I understand your position but really, there's a reason why our numbers don't grow very quickly.  The fact is," says Myitt, shifting her injured arm with a wince, "if you know the location of our base, we have to be absolutely sure you aren't going to shoot your comrades on your first mission and fly off to the Empire.  Or secretly transmit information to them.  Or that you, yourself, aren't already brainwashed to get us to trust you."  She sips her drink.  "Full scan.  On our terms.  If we're sure you haven't swallowed any detonators we might forego the quarantine period."
