Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Shenmue654]

Mar glances oddly at Keirdan, and then swears under his breath. If Crayak knows I'm here then my visit may be more problematic. I have stayed for far too long and I do not want to be involved with the local problems. I'm supposed to leave that to those designated to handle them. But I don't have a choice. I've gotten involved with these people now and I have no idea what repurcussions that will have when I return to a more natural state.

Mar blinks, shaking the communicator as he notices the odd commotion occurring on the other end. "Myitt, what's wrong? Do you need our assistance?"

[Alic]

Alics eyes went wide and she stood up and started quickly demorphing. She should never have left Ossanlin out there alone with a yeerk and a hunter.
She took off behind Shal and Breek towards where she just was forced to leave.


(short I know. 15 min break. God I'm gone for 2 hours and you guys go crazy!)

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

((Sorry guys!!!!  Gah...I was gone all day Saturday to pick out my new puppy, then went to the races.  Then I slept today until 4 PM and was doing stuff with friends until tonight.  Sorry Chad!  >_<))

*Ossanlin nodded to Temrash and started to turn as he saw a beam lance out of the sky to impact the Nisraeln's ship.*  <What are you doing?!!>  *he whipped back around to survey the damage and winced as the hunter swore and made accusations.*  <No, we had them stationed there to help out if you happened to be the sort of hunter that only cared about money.  They were our safety net, we could've shot your ship without ever placing ourselves in danger!  We came to negotiate peace!  I will pay for the parts that you need, I will help you repair your ship!>  *he watched the EM Pulse bomb explode and spared a stalk-eye for the sky to see the cloak fail on Corliss' skimmer and watched it crash to the forest.*  <I swear to you we do not wish you harm or foul unless you wish it on us!>

*Ossanlin turned his stalk-eyes to look at Temrash*  <I...I...Myitt and Corliss...they shouldn't have, they wouldn't have!>  *he shakes his head momentarily.  What had they been thinking?  There were no aggressive movements, no cues, no communications telling them to fire!  He watched Temrash disappear into the trees heading for the skimmer.*

*He continues to watch the Hunter.*  <This has all been a terrible mistake, look, we'll help you repair the ship...>  *At that very moment another red-hot beam of energy lances through the trees and impacts against the Hunter's ship again.*  <Ajtah!!!>  *the andalite profanity is strange coming from Ossanlin, but he said it in times of extreme stress, such as now.*  <What in the Moons are you two DOING?!>  *he doubted Myitt and Corliss were in range of thought-speech, they had ruined it all!  Maybe there was still a chance.*

*Ossanlin bows his top half to the Hunter, hands in front of him, palms up showing a submission of peace.*  <They act without orders, perhaps they felt that you were threatening us for some reason, I cannot say without speaking with them, but I promise you that I never meant you any harm, and I still do not.  I will personally help you to repair your ship if you would like.  I will personally pay for or supply any parts that might be required.>

*Ossanlin looks up at the Hunter and watches him enter a fighting pose.*  <I don't want to fight you.  Not because I'm afraid of losing, and I may lose after accounting for your power and skill, but because I have already seen enough death for one day...for a lifetime.  I do not wish to see any more for today at least.>  *Ossanlin watches the Nisraeln carefully, ready to dance back if necessary.*  <Would you not accept my abject apology and my offer to help you with the ship?>

[Myitt]

((Awww, puppy!  What kind, Luke?  Have you picked out a name?  My sister and I will never forget when we got our yellow lab back when we were kids...sooo cute.  And of course, we named him Tobias (Toby) x3))

There is no answer from the comm link, only static. 

---

Myitt steps into the clearing, holding her freshly bleeding arm.  "It was an accident, Ossanlin."  She considers.  "Mostly.  I am sorry."  She regards the hunter as Corliss steps into view behind her, a hand still pressed to his bloody face.  "What are your terms, hunter?  And know that while I respect and care for my Andalite friend and his negotiations for Temrash's life, I won't bow to you."

[Breekan1]

Breekan looks incredulously over his shoulder as Keirdan consents to being left out. He turns to Shal, the bar doors swinging shut behind him, "Where'd you learn to make him do that?" He sniffs the smoke in the air, gazes at the burning in the trees. "Aw ****," he whispers.

[Chad32]

(Ooh, puppy! Puppy puppy puppy!...ok, I got it out of my system.)

"I don't expect you to bow. I expect you to beg!" The hunter said. Though he had lowered his blade, and hadn't moved from his spot. "At this point, I'm just going to need a new ship. You people obviously have conflicting views, and a loose chain of command."

"Tell me about it." Temrash said.

"Ugh. This is why I stay out of the military."

"We'll get you a new ship. But we can't let you take it out on our friend. She's in a rather frail, and injured, host. Though not without her merits, I'm sure. Let's just go to the bar, and have a seat as civilized individuals. The two of us can help you with your other mission, and then we can all go our separate ways. I'm Temrash, by the way. That guy is Ossalin."

"I am Asmodee of the North Region."

They began walking back to the bar.

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal stares at Breekan a moment, looking confused, before she catches sight of the smoke rising from the trees. She breaks into a sprint, making a beeline for the trees.




Keirdan continues to chatter away about getting the bad guys as he polishes off his ice cream, attempting to shove every other bite in Gaz's mouth.

[Alic]

Alic saw the smoke he same time Shal did, and took off running. She was small but quickly passed Shal.  If something happened to Ossanlin she could no forgive herself and she would kill the hunter and the yeerk herself.

<Ossanlin!> It was directed privately at him, if he didn't answer she would be there in just a few moments to see why.

[Chad32]

Temrash and Asmodee saw Alic first, as they had started walking back.

"No point in rushing, Alic. It's over!" He yelled from the distance. Though something in the back of his mind thought she might get the wrong impression, when seeing them both together.

[Gaz]

Gaz was pleasantly amused by Keirdan's admiration. It was very rare that she was greeted with such awe and enthusiasm. Scratch that...it was never. The most she could hope for was mutual respect amongst other intergalactic pirates.

She was dying to know what had been going on outside, but didn't want to leave the boy. So she sat there and talked with the boy, accepting the odd bite of ice cream.

Under her breath she muttered, "If anything has happened to my ship out there..."

[Breekan1]

Breekan leaps into the air and darts towards the ruckus, half to see if he can help, half to keep an eye on Shal. He arrives just in time to see the hunter and Temrash approaching peacefully. He circles overhead, not wanting to let his guard down for a landing, and shouts down, "What do you mean it's over?"

[Chad32]

"We mean that we've negotiated a compromise." Temrash said. "We help him, and he'll leave us alone. As long as no one else gets trigger happy, like Myitt. Myitt, Corliss, and Ossy are back there."

[Alic]

Alic stopped suddenly when Temrash and the hunter were right in front of her. She made sure not to get too close, in case her tail managed to slip...
<Looks like Myitt missed..> She had not meant for anyone to hear but it slipped, and she didn't care. Her stalk eyes wandered to where she was told Ossanlin was and started running again to make sure her friends were ok.

[Chad32]

"Charming girl." Asmodee said.

"You have no idea." Temrash said. "Ossy might be a tad busy with Myitt and Coriss. Let's go have a seat at the bar." Temrash said, and they continued on. Temrash didn't feel like interacting with Myitt or Alic right then. When they entered the bar, Asmodee noticed Gaz. He had heard about her, but didn't have any kind of contract with her. They took a seat at another table, across from each other, and ordered drinks.

[Breekan1]

Breekan keeps an eye on Asmodee as he flies, and continues to watch him from the rafters, his wings folded around him. "What kind of work are you guys planning on doing for him, exactly?" Breekan asks. "Washing his dog? Killing some sap with a pricetag?"
