Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Shenmue654]

Mar cries out a bit as the black antiseptic does its work. The sensation is unpleasant and doesn't particularly help the shuddering, but Mar suspects it will do the trick. But he doesn't care too terribly much. ((As he's delirious, somewhat drunk and mean. )=  )) He's far more interested in the young girl beside him. Mar's eyes glint a bit as he glances at her. Soul. Beautiful soul. I will try to take it soon.

"Thank you for...support, my dear....."

[Terenia]

She glances at Breekan, "Is that all he'll need? Maybe I should get help." She doesn't wait for an answer, but instead leans down by Mar's ear and whispers, "It'll be alright. I'll be right back."

She turns on her heal abruptly, tearing her grasp from Mar's shoulder and rushes through the bar, "Hello? Can anyone help!? Someone is hurt!" Finally she makes herself to the entrance of the bar, sticking her head outside to peer around the dark exterior. "Is anyone out here!? We need help!"

[Shenmue654]

Mar raises his head slightly as his quarry leads him, but believes her for the most part. She'll come back.

He then glances at Breekan tiredly and states,

"Will this...work? This entire experience is new to me. Pain isn't, though."

Shal starts at the sound of Kara's shout for help. She pulls her knife out of it's sheath, and sprints toward the bar, her stomach uneasy. She pushes rather roughly past Kara, and skids to a stop near Breekan. Taking mental note that her brothers are okay, she notices Mar on the ground.

She kneels next to him, and hesitantly touches his neck, then the wound on his chest. She waits, to see how he reacts to her presence.

[Terenia]

Surprised by the sudden and abrupt reaction, Kara stumbles as she turns to follow Shal back to Mar. As soon as she is back by his side she stands over him, placing one hand on the side of his head tentatively, "I'm back," she says softly, "How are you?"

[Shenmue654]

Mar glances at Shal and almost hisses, his eyes seeming to flash momentarily before quieting down. He tries to sit up but fails miserably, instead laying against the edge of the bar again. Breekan's efforts seem to be clearing his head somewhat, but he's still quite drunk.

"So...you're the other one," states Mar calmly. "You seem a bit more dangerous than Breekan is to me. I would welcome...help that you may give, however."

Mar then smiles at Kara. "I'm....better. Could be worse. Still shaky...it's still quite painful. Why...worry about me with so many problems of your own?"

This sounds about right to Mar. Kind and concerned. But his side still aches. The pain is awful. It's similar, but somehow a bit worse than the usual wounds. I never knew that it would be so difficult to focus.

[Terenia]

"I....don't know..." Kara said, genuinely confused at her motives. "I just don't want you to be alone, I guess..." She isn't sure what is driving her sudden desire to care for Mar, but the desire is strong, and the idea of leaving him pains her somehow. "I want to make sure you're okay."

[Shenmue654]

Mar nods. This isn't completely unexpected, although it seems odd to him that this ability would be operational. Considering he's just met this young woman he's doing rather fantastically. Perhaps the miscalculation in his magical ability hasn't been a total loss. Don't overthink your success. Just do what comes naturally.

"Thank you, dear. Although...what Breekan is doing is at least partially working. May need some rest. My offer is still open when I return to my normal state, you know."

Mar grins, holding out his hand. "Did you like the flame?"

[Terenia]

"I do," She says softly, putting her hand in his palm, "What offer is it?" Her memory of his specific words seems to be failing her. She merely remembers pleasant, though confusing, conversation with the stranger. The words themselves seem to be of little importance.

[Shenmue654]

Mar glances at Breekan and Shal and notes that perhaps now is not the best time to complete his game. He's being attended to and will likely attract the attention of multiple people. Ugh, how annoying. I have her in the palm of my hand and there's too many people to even begin.

Mar uses her hand to lean ever so carefully into her ear. This isn't exactly without its pain and so Mar gasps as he moves closer. He whispers, "The offer where I give you anything you could possibly want in return for something you don't believe in anyway."

Mar then lays back to rest, his side aching. It's probably best not to attempt moving again.

[Terenia]

"That doesn't sound like such a bad bet, if I don't believe in it anyways," Kara whispers. Her human body is overwhelmed for a moment, taken by emotions that she has not experienced before, and she feels a bit dizzy. Squeezing his hand slightly for balance she smiles down at him, "I'm sure whatever you offer me would be worth it." She says, still unsure of what exactly he is offering.

[Shenmue654]

Mar is at this point feeling tired and somewhat hesitant. The Yeerk seems to be behaving very strangely and this bothers even the drunken Mar. What if it doesn't count? He knows he can't make the transaction in his poor health, and in his current state it would also be difficult. Does it really matter? .........no. Not now. I can't tempt myself. Who knows what I will think when I'm sober?

Mar smiles. "We should speak of this more when....when I am healed. You are not yourself."

[Terenia]

"Okay" She says softly, trying to ignore the strangely disappointing feeling that wells up in her. What is going on? It has to be the liquor....her hosts emotions and hormones are flowing through her more easily...."In the meantime, let's get you well."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal grabs Breekan's arm, and taps a button on it, a small panel opens up on his back, from which she pulls a med kit. She freezes, as she catches snippets of Mar and Kara's conversation. She drops the med beg inches from Mar's head, and glares down at him. She considers kicking him.



The Bartender finishes preparing Keirdan's food, and brings it out to him. Keirdan picks through the fruit salad, pulling out all of the grapes and throwing them at the BT.

[Myitt]

"My name is Michael," says Corliss, smiling wryly.  It was more than a bit obvious just what this woman was, now, and she wanted to know her real name.  "But you can call me Corliss Three-Eight-Two, if you'd like."

He watches the exchange with Mar, genuinely surprised that such a creature can actually be hurt.  He has no love for Mar but feels strangely relieved when the poor drunk bugger recovers in what seems to be a relatively short amount of time.

Myitt, having returned her tools to her ship and wished Ossanlin luck with his new bounty hunter friend (she left him her spare comm link in case he and Temrash needed help), walks back to the bar.  She steps up to the door when someone slams it open and nearly knocks her over.  Great, first getting knocked over by a bounty hunter, then the damn door...her face already hurt from her earlier punch in the face and her sliced and bandaged arm didn't appreciate it either.

Someone, some girl from the sound of it, was hollering about help.  "Yeah, what do you want?" Myitt murmurs haggardly from behind the door, pushing herself to her feet with a grunt. 

The door simply slams shut again, and she eventually staggers against it, swinging it open and walking in.

"Alright, who just hit me with the door?  And what the hell's going on in here?" she cries, noticing Mar's condition and the new chick.

((Haha, Mar just loves outcast Yeerky vaguely feminine souls...))
