Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Terenia]

Terenia looks surprised by the sudden barrage of questions, then distinctly uncomfortable. She looks around the filled bar, shifting on her hooves uneasily, <I was human once, yes. The story is...complicated. I was human, and now I am not,> she glances back at Claxter, who is still outside, <and I suppose you would discover from one of them eventually that I am not Andalite either. I am a Yeerk nothlit. This body you see is my host, Efaen.>

[Gaz]

(It's almost time for me to head to school. I'll post this afternoon when I get back.)

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne regarded Terenia in silence a long moment before breathing, "Wow," in a voice that suggested amazement and fascination -- and not an ounce of hostility. Then she smiled. "I'm sure you've got quite a story." Extending her right hand, she said, "I'm Elayne."

((Nah, it was actually directed at Claxter regarding Ossanlin's disappearance. Mar would call someone like Ossanlin, who I heard at some point has ties to the Ellimist (which might explain his crazier bizarrities), "allied with the Light." When Oss gets back he can tell me if I'm wrong about this or not. This is because even though there are a million possible sides to be on and about that many wars in the universe, Mar tends to view things in terms of how badly they can hurt him.  ))

Keshin rubs the back of his head awkwardly. A bounty hunter (who wouldn't really be the ideal specimen ) introducing his entire species to a new Bar resident is more than a little awkward. Keshin decides he'll try anyway. Keshin then points at Joanne's chest. "See this? This species is called a human. This is the body I inhabit, and she's also a close friend and associate of mine. But..." Keshin points at Joanne's head. "I'm in here, inside her head on her brain. I'm a parasite that infests and controls other species called a Yeerk. Most of our species is involved in a difficult war right now." Keshin then grins. "Me? I'm just along for the ride, you could say. Not against it or with it."

Mar nods at Claxter. "I will attempt to search for him. He's been gone far too long. If something has happened to him..." Mar lets this hang and begins to wander outside of the Bar again, glancing around for any sign of either his friend or the Andalite. Aliciania...she and Ossanlin do seem to have some kind of close relationship going, don't they? This may be worth, in his opinion, looking into.

(Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.)

Zoshonel got down from the rafters and went to Temrash. "Hey. I just realised what day it is. There's a celebration that I really want to go to in my home country. I know Visser Three might be sending a strike force here, but who knows? I'll see about coming back if you really need me."

"Ok. It's fine. have fun."

"Thanks. Later friends." Zoshonel said. He gave a wave to those in the bar that he knew and headed out.

(Taking Zoshonel out of the picture, but in a way that I can bring him back later if I want to.)

[Myitt]

((Whoa, sorry for the delay guys x3))

Myitt seems to ease up when Mar steps out of the bar again, and she sits back down, still staring into her glass of water. 

Corliss steps over.  "What's eating you, love?"

"I've got to get those groceries back to the base," she murmurs. 

"Is that all you're worried about, then?" Corliss laughs.  "I'll take the bloody Bug and unload 'em, if you want.  It's been a while, haven't seen our new digs yet."

"Yeah, I guess so," Myitt sighs.  "You want the keys?"

"Very funny," says Corliss, still grinning.  Glancing at the people nearest them, Elayne and Terenia, then around at the other bar denizens, he adds, "I'll be back I suppose.  This place has a funny way of drawing you in."

"Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you all these years?" Myitt says wryly.

Corliss pats Myitt on the back.  "See ya, then."

"Be careful with my ship," she calls after him as Corliss walks out of the bar.

Myitt sighs and looks back at her glass of water, half full. 

At the mention of Jurassic Park, some radar inside her goes off.

<Jurassic Park!  Ooh, ooh, lemme talk!>

Myitt looks over at Terenia and Elayne, amused.  Tara continues.  "You know," she says conversationally, "Jurassic Park was always my favorite goddamn movie."  She pauses, and Myitt adds, "Although, really, Tara, before that it was The Land Before Time."  She takes on a sour expression.  "Semantics," Tara sneers.

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne's attention was diverted by Myitt and Tara, and she could not help but laugh at their squabbling. "Yeah, but which one?" she winked, leaning back and trying to toe a chair out from under the table for her to sit, although her blurred vision made her miss a few times before she succeeded. "Th' classic first installment or th' gem of number nine: Journey to Big Water? Ya know they're still makin' those little suckers? I think one came out as recently as oh-seven."

[Chad32]

(Are they really still making sequels to that thing? man I loved the first as much as the next guy that like Dinosaurs and cartoons, but itwasn't that good. I watched a couple of other movies, but they have 8 or 9 sequels or something. It's practically a series now. a Movie series, if there is such a thing.)

<So Terenia, I don't think I asked about the details of the new technology that allows nothlits to regain morphing ability. I wonder if they store DNA samples to allow the former nothlits to regain their old bodies as well.> Claxter asked.

[Terenia]

Looking a bit taken aback Terenia extends her own hand, clasping Elayne's in as firm of a handshake as her Andalite digits will allow.

<You are a human, and I essentially just told you that I am an Andalite-Controller and...you aren't angry with me?> she seems entirely unsure how to react and decides to just accept it for the time being. Perhaps all humans in the future were crazy.

When Tara and Myitt speak Terenia makes a face, <that movie scared the hell out of me,> she says, <perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if my brother didn't spend the next month pretending to be one of those spitting dino's and scaring me in my sleep.>

Claxter's question about the semantics of reversing nothlitism bring her look of discomfort back. <The technology isn't really...in use, so I don't know. The project was shut down by order of the Electorate.>

[Chad32]

(I forget if Belthazar is a loyalist or not. That's the space pirate controller's name, right? I think I'm going to do my idea for a loyalist with a psycho host. He's likely to be temporary, unless I find him interesting enough like Claxter. Just want to decide how to introduce him.)

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne gave Terenia a strange grin--strange because it held no sarcasm or enmity, as most of her grins tended to--and released her hand. "I've got a rare attitude toward Yeerks," she said by way of explanation.

While Terenia spoke with Claxter, Elayne attempted to focus her eyes on the bar. I know I've had too much to drink.... Maybe some water. She hesitated. In a few. When I'm sure I can actually manage to stay standing.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver smiled as Morgan winked at her and she had actually found their little bantering amusing. Fighting but getting along. Something se was not used to, but liked it. She stood and swung her sword back into it's sheath on her side, and slipped the crossbow onto her back. "Hopefully, this will be easy. If not, Oh well. I haven't had a challenge in a while." she said and gave a smile.

[Darth Revan]

((Belthazar is the 9 ft guy that Hunter brought in. The space pirate is Elipir 851, Agent 128's character.))

Thordon smirks at Mar's term "Light side" and returns to his drink.


Parker nudges Silver, "You may wanna stay away from me then, you won't get close to a kill if I'm near ya." He gives her a baiting grin and a wink.

[Myitt]

Tara looks stricken.  "They've made more of them?" she cries.  "No, no, no, the original.  The original, no stupid sing-alongs, better animation, Don-freaking-Bluth."  She crosses her bandaged arms in a humph, tapping her fingers along her upper arm.  

From outside, reddish light flickers up through the bar windows as Corliss takes off in Myitt's Bug fighter, heading for their new base with the groceries.

In a few moments, Myitt regains their composure, and looks pointedly over at Elayne, arms still crossed.  "So," she says, "what's this about your little rebellion, huh?  I was sort of hoping there wouldn't be much of a need for one, after the war."

[Chad32]

"I remember when I used to brag about my killcounts. But then I lost count." Temrash said. "You just wait until I fashion my own suit with an AI and a bundle of weapons to carry around. Oh how jealous you will be."
