Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Terenia]

"Mmph," she acknowledges, tossing the now empty pint aside and grabbing the mashed potatoes and the napkin. She begins going at the mashed potatoes next, barely pausing as she transitions between the two foods.

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal gives Myitt a quick shake of the head, and turns to Breekan. "Keirdan?" She asks quietly, a worried expression on her face. She wants the boy back.

[Myitt]

Myitt grins.  "Thanks for that, anyway.  If I really want to believe all that rot.  But regardless, I know what it's like to feel like you've been lied to your whole life.  It ain't fun."  She looks at Kara, eyebrows raised.  "Something tells me she'll be all right."

The jukebox has decided to switch.  'Hey Jude, don't make it bad...'

"Get a load of that, will ya?" Corliss remarks.  "All the way from the bloody Scouse docks to the middle of nowhere, outer space.  Didn't think they were this popular."

"Come on, Cor, Tiny Tim was on a few hours ago," says Myitt.  

"'im, I could almost believe, being in a bar full of aliens in bleeding outer space," Corliss says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I guarantee you Elvis and Bowie are on there."  Myitt nods sagely.  "You wanna bet?"

"Yer on."

"You're going to lose."

"Bet you a pint there's no Elvis, this place wouldn't be so tasteless as to make that cliche," Corliss snorts.

There's no answer yet, just Paul McCartney's endless six minutes of na-na-na-na's.

Myitt nods at Shal.  "So, you doing all this talking...it's hurting the boy.  Isn't it?"

[Terenia]

After thoroughly annihilating the mashed potatoes, she sets down the plate and sighs in what can only be interpreted as relief. She uses the napkin to hastily wipe her mouth, missing a large amount of the mess but not seeming to care. For a moment she sits there in relative contentment, her eyes tracking the activities of the bar.

[Breekan1]

"Oh cripes, I almost forgot!" Breekan gasps. He opens up to let Keirdan out of his suit. "Sorry about that, Captain Hardbones! Heat of the moment stuff! But sis!" he turns back to Shal. "You gotta explain what the hell's going on here- I thought you had gone retarded or crazy or something. But..." he beams. "You're actually alive! You have to tell me everything."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal, looking miserable, merely nods at Myitt. Shal hesitates a moment when Breekan opens the compartment. She steps behind him, and stares into the portal, her face blanching. She pulls the un-moving boy out, and slumps down on the floor cradling him. She sits unmoving, until she sees that his chest is steadily rising and falling. She clutches him tightly, her upper body bent protectively over him.

[Breekan1]

Breekan's face falls, his fur creeping up to stand on its ends. He puts a hand on the boy's forehead, to see if he has a temperature.

[Chad32]

"What's going on with Keirdan? I thought that hatch thing was supposed to be safe." Temrash said, concerned.

(Does anyone know what happened to Mike, by the way? The human morphing blind kid with a cat morph.)

[Kit Cloudkicker]

(Applix disappeared. He's done that before. He'll be back eventually. )

[Myitt]

((Oh, crap, Applix...I wonder where he ran off to?...yes he always comes back, mwahaha...))

Myitt steps away from Kara for a moment, looking down at Keirdan.  "He's alive.  What happened?  How can merely speaking aloud make him collapse this way?  You crazy kids and your weird vocal quirks..."  She looks forlorn.  "Poor little guy.  Is he going to be alright?"

Corliss watches, too, looking back at Kara.  "Hits the spot, eh?  Wish me mum could make you some bangers to go with the mash, love, or a real proper butty.  Sandwich."  Michael Leicester smiles faintly, pushing back his own upwelling of homesickness.  He really can't be very much older than Kara, herself.  "I'm Michael, by the way, dunno if you've met Corliss for real, yeah?  All this mess, gets to where no one reckons what's grot an' what's not."  His accent is even stronger than Corliss' own Liverpudlian accent, even though Corliss perfected his English from the same memories of grammar school that Michael has stored in his head.

[Terenia]

"Kara," Kara says softly, by way of introduction. Then she pauses and looks up at him, almost shyly, "What are bangers?"

[Chad32]

"For the record, when I said Breekan1 would be too preoccupied with the boy to attack, I merely hoped that he'd stay in the bar with the kid. I was never actually going to attack Keirdan." Temrash said, as he drank his Redin.

[Gaz]

(I'm sorry! Look what happens when I go out for the day, people actually talk to me. lol.  )

Gaz smirked and said, "Danger? I'm a pirate. Me and danger are old acquaintances. And don't you worry, The Vagabond is well stocked with weapons. I know how to defend my ship."

Gaz put out her hand and said, "The Vagabond is open for service. For a price of course."

"Of course," Fletcher said. "Pirates aren't known for their charity, are they?"

[Myitt]

"Damn right you weren't," Myitt says dangerously, shooting a glare at Temrash.

"Pleasure, Kara, I'm glad you're feeling a mite better," says Michael.  "Bangers are..." His eyes track, and Corliss answers flatly, "they're sausages.  They're really quite good actually."  He looks up, smiling a little, but his gaze can't help flickering toward Ardiss' tupperware prison.

((Haha Rachel, way to have a life! Corliss introduced himself to Fletcher, too, by the by ^__^))

[Terenia]

Kara follows his gaze and shrinks back slightly. She is still sitting on the floor of the bar, and the overall effect makes her look rather tiny, "What are you going to do with it...her?"
