Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Gaz]

(A group of characters, most of mine included are off on a separate adventure. One of my characters, Fletcher, has been sitting quietly at the bar. Hasn't really been doing much.)

[Darth Revan]

((Yeah, Thordon's doing the same.))

[KitsuneMarie]

"Alright," Elayne smirked. "I need a pilot. A damned good one, and one who won't die on me mid-flight like the last one I had. And he should be from my dimension and time, if possible; I don't want to screw with... whatever the hell Myitt was talking about. And negotiate a good price for me--like you, I don't have much cash."

She tapped the side of her mug as she thought about what she was bargaining, wondering what it might do to her past. Hopefully this wouldn't backfire entirely. She truly did need to get home.

[HiImshort]

((Sweet pounces on Fletcher.))

Hawkeye looks at Fletcher and asks: "How are you?" He then looks at the bar tender and orders a salad and pulls out "money" from his "pocket."

[Gaz]

"Not bad," Fletcher replied. "Sort of keeping an eye on things while Gaz, Morgan and the others are off doing their thing. I don't know...ever since that Caven guy showed up. Morgan's been acting different."

[Shenmue654]

((Did Elayne ever say from how many years in the future she's from? ....that's what I was asking. Sorry about that. I didn't notice that I hadn't deleted that. XD ))

Keshin nods with a bit of a smile. "Yeah, I could probably do that. I can call in some contacts I've made over the years and we'll be able to find someone. Grease the right hands with money, and people'll pretty much do whatever you say. Although...granted. .." Keshin rubs the back of his head. "...I have no idea how we'd find someone from your particular dimension versus anywhere else similar. Though I could find someone in mine. Time's a pretty big issue here too. I mean, what if bringing in a pilot from your past causes weird things to happen to your future? Though frankly I'd love to ignore all that, I wouldn't want to damage my own future."

<We don't even know if we'll exist in Elayne's future, Kess.>

<I know that. In fact, we probably won't. Elayne said she's from a couple years after the war is over? We're not going to last that long. Maybe six years if we're very lucky.>

<Pretty soberin' thoughts, Kess.>

<I'm just trying to be realistic. It's getting worse each time. Now darting across to the lake for barely a moment has you feeling like you had a mini heart attack.>

<I personally like optimism better. It's gotten me through a lot.>

<Maybe.>

[KitsuneMarie]

((Sorry, what were you asking, Kelly?))

Elayne smirked and leaned back a little. "So you see my issue," she said. "Well, if you've got an ideal candidate who's from my dimension but not my time, I'm willing to give it a shot." Sticking out her right hand, her left still clutching what was left of her beer, she grinned at him. "Do we have a deal, Mr. Moral-less Bounty Hunter? Resistance fighters' identities for a more or less reliable way off this rock?"

[Shenmue654]

Keshin nods and holds out his own hand, shaking hers. "We have a deal, Elayne. The best pilot off this hellhole I can think of for the identities of the freedom fighters. Or what-have-you." Keshin scratches his head. "...although I have no idea how a technologically weak race like humans could have won against the Empire in your time."

Keshin looks at the table and smiles. "Would you look at that. We've still got orange juice. It's like our equivalent of sunflower seeds and nicotine, except for alcohol. The stuff just tastes so damn good, and Joanne needs to drink something."

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne grinned as she lowered her hand back to her lap. "Turns out the humans had a lot of help. And it didn't hurt that Visser Three totally underestimated them--not that I can entirely blame him for the same reason you cited." Then she shrugged. "But as much as humans might not want to admit it, the war couldn't have been won without the Andalites' aid."

She smiled. "Orange juice tastes like childhood to me, if a time in one's life could be said to have a taste. So is that due to Joanne's condition?"

[Shenmue654]

Keshin snickers a bit, shaking his head. "Well...it isn't due the condition Joanne was born with, no. I should let her speak for herself, but basically she started using her family's alcohol early on to slow down her immune system. Not that she knew this was the reason she liked it. And of course because everybody in the family did it. It worked pretty well, considering that they had so much of it at any given time and the fact that alcohol is a depressant. The problem is...this turned Joanne herself into an alcoholic."

Keshin glances off. "...we still get very strong cravings for the stuff, and if I didn't rip control from her Joanne would get ahold of a bottle as soon as possible. But the consensus is that we don't want more health problems than we already have. So policing it has been my job. ...we drink lots of orange juice instead. It doesn't actually help at all, but at least it's a strong-tasting liquid."

[AndaliteWarrior100]

Can I be an Andalite? It is my real race. Can I name my Character? A female Andalite named Falia-Megatro-Talula.

[HiImshort]

((You can be w/e you want.Welcome aboard))

Hawkeye looked at Fletcher with a confused look and asked: "Who are these people?"

[KitsuneMarie]

Something like pain flashed across Elayne's eyes, and she nodded to Keshin. "Alcoholism is tough. My father and his Yeerk had to deal with that, too. I'm glad you can help keep it in check."

She shifted a little on her seat, as if she wanted to stand, and then settled again. "I was talking with Mar earlier. Wanna join us? I'll put the juice on my tab." Then she smirked. "Or would you rather finish taking care of business now?"

[AndaliteWarrior100]

(Can I be included in the mission?)

[Myitt]

((Welcome to the bar, AW!  Right now the mission is filled with paranoid people, two of whom are Yeerks who don't really trust Andalites, so it probably wouldn't make much sense for them to trust your character.  Besides, you'd have to stumble upon them in a closed fighter off in the woods, and not at the bar.  Sorry!  ...but for now, feel free to introduce Falia to the bar.  There are a few simple rules involving powergaming and such, you can reference those on the first post waaay back on page 1.  There's no need to write a character sheet, just have her walk in and make sure you describe her with enough reference that someone noticing her walk in can interact with her.  And most of all, have fun! ))

Myitt looks between her comrades in the Skimmer, starting to type the message to Hadrin regarding the setup in Roswell. 

She hesitates before sending it, almost doubting herself.  "I still think this is insane, you know.  Are you all on board with this?"
