[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin's smile becomes wider as he regards Alic in her natural form, her most beautiful form as far as he was concerned.  He sheathes his dual katana and walks up to her.  <Oh?  Well I can't say I'm unhappy that you followed me.  It's a beautiful night.  If we had some more light we could spar.>  He sways his tail back and forth gently in the slight night breeze, his smile still visible in his eyes.  <Unless you want to try anyway?>  He arches an eyebrow at the young female andalite.

[Shenmue654]

Mar's eyes widen in shock as she kisses him. He pushes himself away, but slowly. Some (very drunk) part of him loves Kara's action, and wants it to continue. A beautiful princess, on and on forever. Mar shakes his head, rapidly.

"S...sorry. I'm quite drunk. Now...I think..." *Mar lifts up his gauntlet and inspects it awkwardly. I doubt it will function as expected, but since a deal is in progress I may get something out of this thing. "...I can get it, but if I can't you can stop me immediately. Either way you have promised it to me, no?"

[Terenia]

She nods, drunk with a combination of fear, hope and desire, and still leans in towards him even after he breaks the kiss, "yes....of course." she whispers, her grip surprisingly strong as she grabs his biceps.

[Shenmue654]

Mar smiles pleasantly and states, "Now...I warn you...this might sting a little." Mar shakes his gauntlet back and forth, hoping for a reaction. Damn this blasted thing. It should have been on by now. Mar waits for a little while, and then eventually the strange indentations in the device light up light purple.

Mar holds out the gauntlet uneasily and does something very strange. He reaches, impossibly, into Kara's chest without opening a wound. "Is this alright? We're probably close enough that what I'm doing can't be seen."

[Terenia]

Kara's eyes, inexplicably, widen even larger. She is, at this point, incapable of speech and merely nods without taking her eyes off of Mar's. This close, her plain brown eyes are extremely vulnerable, looking as if they are on the verge of another onslaught of tears, but holding them back as bravely as she knows how.

((oh blergh. My own character is making me sick. Ugh!))

[Shenmue654]

Mar then appears to grasp...well, nothing. And takes this nothing out of Kara's chest. The hole in Kara's chest promptly seals itself. Mar grins rather strangely.

"And now you are mine. Don't worry. You'll never have a problem with Yeerks again. Now...I suppose I can count on another variation to fulfill my end of this little bargain. How do you feel?" 

[Terenia]

"I....I think I am fine...." Kara glances down at her chest and, concluding that it seems quite solid, looks back up at him with wondering eyes, "but....I still don't understand....what does it mean?"

[Shenmue654]

Mar holds his head, glancing down at the blinking light on his gauntleted arm. Transaction complete. I suppose I don't have to deal with the girl after this. I stayed due to mitigating circumstances with the Bar members, although I should have gone as I said.... I certainly can't mess with it here.

Mar grasps Kara's cheek and turns her to face him. "It means quite simply that I own you. You can use your own body and mind as effortlessly and as freely as you please, but I now have what is relevant to me, dear. I suppose to you it would mean nothing at all. But at least you have a kind of protector now involved in your affairs. If I'm going to be stuck in this horrible bar, the least I can do is be concerned with you."

((And the horrible cuteness subsides and Mar's back to being his meanie self. Fear alcohol for it has power. o.O; ))

[Alic]

Alic raises an eyebrow, thinking how fun it would be to have a one on one with Ossanlin. She shifted her weight and raised her tail just a little. He was much larger and has a longer reach, she would need her speed.
<It is quite a beautiful night, indeed.> She smiled with her eyes again. <I can see quite well, so watch out!>

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin smiles back at her, still grinning and unbuckles his battle harness, laying it along with his equipment, shredders, and katana carefully on the ground at the edge of the clearing leaving his blue fur completely bare.  He walks to the middle of the clearing, arching his tail high and bowing his upper torso to Alic, spreading his hands wide in the formal greeting before a tail-fighting match.  Usually sparring sessions allowed fighters to wear blunting fields on their blades so that they could fight all out without concern for mortality, but since Ossanlin had none available, and he doubted Alic did either, they would just have to be careful of each other.  He hadn't practiced tail-fighting with another andalite for a great deal of time, it was true that he had been one of the best in his class at the academy, but that might not be so anymore.  <Aes firia, Aliciania-Kilomes-Arendes.>  Ossanlin intoned the ritual greeting to a fellow tail-fighting combatant.

He looked up at Alic and smiled again with his eyes, he had been looking forward to this.  Alic might be young and female, but she had a spirit fiercer than that of most warriors in the military and he was certainly not certain of the outcome of this sparring match.  This would be fun, and Ossanlin relished a chance to spend some time with Alic away from the others.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

((Oh Miroku, this is the point where Kara becomes a giant preying-mantis demon.  :p))

[Alic]

Alic watched as Ossanlin removed his gear. She had never actually used her skills in fun, now that she thought of it. But her training had been tough, and games were looked down upon. Alloran had been strict with her.
Being something new Alic was excited to start and hoped she could prove to herself what she could be capable of. She stayed where she was as Ossanlin walked to the center and bowed. Tail arched high and amusement clearly showing on her face. She would not bow in return. It was typical Andalite rituals and, well she didn't grow up typical.

It was the first time since her family was destroyed that she had been alone with one of her own kind, it was very comforting. Alic walked slowly up to Ossanlin and stopped where they were still well out of reach of eachother.
<No need to be so formal.> She relaxed her stance just slightly, knowing it would be harder to tell where she would move next.
<You may as well stay bowing, you'll be doing it when we're through.>

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin arches an eyebrow and chuckles, swearing he can almost see the young female's boundless energy radiating into the night.  <Is that so, going to humble poor Prince Ossanlin are you?  It's not nice to do such things to your elders.>  Ossanlin smirks again, obviously jibing, being only a handful of years older than Alic.

He straightens his torso and steps back, limbering himself.  He whip-cracks his tail a couple of times back and forth and brings his arms and hands into a martial fighting stance.  It had been long since he'd practiced without his katana, this would definitely be interesting.  He let his tail fall into the familiar fighting style, swishing back and forth gently, seemingly unthreatening but ready to strike from any angle.  It was a less-common style of tail fighting, most held their tails rigid or arched over their backs, but Ossanlin preferred the unpredictability and flexibility of the style and it had won him great praises as an aristh.

<Whenever you're ready, just try not to remove my head please.>  *Ossanlin smiles again good-naturedly at Alic.*

[Chad32]

Temrash spent some time wandering around the ship. It was a nice one. He slept a bit as well, but not very deeply.

[Gaz]

Gaz sat at the console, her feet propped up. At that moment there wasn't really anything to do.

Fletcher was still hard at work.

"Are you really working that hard to find something?" she asked. "What in the world are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find a haul that is the best you've ever taken!" Fletcher replied. "I want to make up for trying to take your ship. Then maybe you'll finally drop it."

"Good luck," Gaz said.
