Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin approaches Terenia's ship.  He surveys the area with all four eyes and then trots up to her fighter casually, affixing the tracker underneath a small chink in the hull-plating on the belly of the ship.  It is extremely small and well hidden...at least from what Ossanlin knows of Bug Fighters, which is quite a bit, he believes it's well hidden.

He turns and trots away from the ship, his comm chirping.  He activates it and nods as Myitt asks his position.  <I'm on my way back to the Mirage now Myitt, I'll be there shortly.  Claxter should have the ship ready to take off.  As soon as I get back, we'll call Aliciania and let her know to come back.  I hope she's been able to find Terenia...>


((Bon Voyage Tara!  Have a good trip and be safe!))

Claxter hoped Alinciana would have Terenia in tow when she came back. Could he really leave without Efaen nearby? He might lose her forever. He told his Prince that he would be willing to let Efaen go if something happened, but he didn't think it would be something like this. His worry was probably evident to Myitt, and once he realised he might be showing his emotions he corrected himself. The ship's preparations were nearly complete, and once alinciana came back he would close the hatch and initiate takeoff. With or without Terenia.

"I don't know if I don't have my own memories because I wasn't at the Bar or because I didn't exist in that timeline, but I don't want to take the chance," Issid said, and then she sighed. "Alright, fine. Here she is." As she retreated and relinquished control of her host's body, she told Elayne, <Go ahead. You said you wanted to earlier; here's your chance, lover girl.>

Elayne was surprised to find her cheeks actually flushing in concert with her embarrassment. When she had pushed the flush away, she looked to Mar and cleared her throat. "I'm here."

[Shenmue654]

Mar smiles very warmly. His body still appears unsteady, like someone with arthritis. Despite this fact, he steadily walks toward Elayne and does something wholly unexpected. He wraps his arms around her waist and gives her a hug. "...I was terribly worried about you, Elayne. You are one of only two people that my attitude and aura does not bother. Both I have found in this..." Mar gestures around him with his left arm. "...strange place. The situation has gone farther than I ever dreamed."

Mar then steps back from Elayne, but still stands quite close to her. "...what do you think? You understand why this...circumstance is a peculiar one for me."

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne's eyes widened at Mar's actions, and her face turned scarlet, but she returned the gesture once she had gathered her wits. When he stepped back, she dropped her arms and watched him carefully, her cheeks still red. "I think so. I have the other Elayne's memories, but they're like a dream. I'm not your Elayne, Mar... although..." her blush became fiercer, and she cleared her throat and let the sentence hang rather than think about how much she had liked being held by him or told that he was worried for her. "I understand that you're conflicted. What are you going to do?" she asked.

[Terenia]

((Hey guys, sry I haven't been posting. I haven't been able to get Internet. I should be able to catch up and post tomorrow night, but feel free to Yeerk my character in the meantime))

[Chad32]

(And Terenia comes to her senses and gets on the Mirage. Yay! Oh wait, that might not be how you want your character yeerked.   I'm waiting for Alic to post, actually. Trying to give her a chance to do something. )

[Alic]

((Movies almost over. Few more minutes. Then ill post))
Post Merged: March 13, 2010, 10:14:23 PMKnowing the bar was the best place to look for Terenia, Alic entered. Speaking of.. she would definiately need to bring a bottle with her. Cooped up in a ship with who know how many people.. Yeah. A bottle of Jager would be a must.. But that should be the last thing on her mind. Alic didn't think she was fully aware of the situation going on that was so important to leave for so quickly, and she intended to ask as soon as they were on their way.
Alic's stalk eyes scanned the room. Neither the andalite or the human form were in sight. <Terenia? Are you around? It is time that we leave.> She walked past the bar to make sure any of the spare rooms were empty. Maybe she was outside, feeding perhaps? <I'm going to need this.> Alic took a bottle of her favorite drink from behind the bar before walking outside to find Terenia.

[Terenia]

((posting on my phone and I haven't been able to read previous posts since I left, so if I mess anything up let me know))

Terenia buzzes up and onto the back collar of Joannes shirt, beneath her hair, when she warns abou caution despite the all-clear.
<alright, keshin, I'm on you. Don't worry, I am well hidden.>

Terenia recognizes Alicianas thought speech a mOment later and contemplates answering, but decides against it. If the Andalites even have an inkling of where she is then they will find her and never let her out of their sight again.
((btw, when alic checked the back rooms, one of them would have been locked from when terenia was in it and left via morph))

[Alic]

((Okie dokie. She would just assume Terenia would have answered so the locked door didn't bother her))

[Shenmue654]

((Okay, so evidently I have to post now. Let's see what I can come up with. x3 ........oh boy this is tough. XD))

Keshin glances around in confusion and then suddenly stops, grinning. "Are you in morph? You sly dog. Well okay. Careful, now. If they don't figure it out we can probably just waltz right onto our own ship and have you contact home base. I don't like going there much, but this is on a job and all."

Keshin shrugs, walking forward, speaking a little more softly now that he's guessed that Terenia might be very nearby. "That sound like a good plan? I hope so, because it's the only one I've got. We can't be seen taking off in your ship."
*******************************************************************************************************************
Mar pauses and thinks the situation over, standing there with a conflicted look on his face. If I let her go she might never come back. I certainly do not consider the Yeerk trustworthy....but if I let the others know that the Yeerk is here, I might waste an excellent opportunity for newfound strength and power...

Mar taps his foot on the ground lightly. "The problem is that I have no guarantee that once I let Issid leave I will be able to see you again. And I know well that my Higher self doesn't give a damn about you. ...I could...provide a host for Issid, in theory. I can still contact my people from here. But that has a number of problems with it as well."

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne's eyes slowly narrowed and she asked Mar with uncharacteristic--or at least previously hidden--ruthlessness, "Why does Issid matter? You could force her out of me and stick her in a portable pool until you found her a host, or you could take her soul, or do whatever the hell you want to do with--"

Abruptly, Elayne's face spasmed, and her upper lip lifted to reveal her teeth. "That's quite enough from her," Issid growled, forcing Elyane into a dark recess of her consciousness, tuning her out.

[Shenmue654]

Mar purrs oddly at this series of events and begins to pace around the room, his demeanor somewhat different. His posture seems the same though, so whatever was happening last time isn't happening now. "....impressive. You were quite fast, actually. If there were different circumstances between you, Elayne, and myself..." Mar pauses and turns to her with an odd gleam in his eyes. "...I would offer you something, if it would please you." Mar then shakes his head back and forth. "But, as things are now..."

Mar then draws a circle around the smaller gem on the top of his gauntlet hand and brings up a series of holographic-seeming windows. Mar taps through them carefully. "...I think the best option we have is to supply you with a different host entirely. If my theory is correct, returning in your ship should send you to the timeline you come from. For as long as it exists."

[KitsuneMarie]

Issid watched Mar--or, more specifically, his gauntlet--warily. She had not enjoyed the last time he had used it. And she especially did not like the way he was walking around the room now; he reminded her of a tiger slinking back and forth, with only its cages steel bars separating it from human prey.

"That's all well and good," she said, "but you should know that I couldn't find my ship earlier. The other Elayne arrived in one but now that she has... never really been here... her ship is gone. It's possible that a Yeerk transport is tucked away in the woods somewhere, but I sure haven't seen it. Do you think another ship could also work?"

[Shenmue654]

Mar nods quietly. "Any ship that you are on should work, as long as you are alone. If Myitt and yourself rode on the same ship, you would either end up in hers or your own version of the timeline. At least..." Mar pauses, putting his hand on his chin. "...I think that is how it works. Someone told me that once."

Mar glances toward Issid. "Are you saying that you need a ship as well? And is Elayne..." Mar chuckles a bit. "....ordinarily that ruthless? Just delightful, really. I honestly wish I had established myself in this place further."
