[Myitt]

Corliss listens to the exchange between Terenia and Mar, growing increasingly irritated.

"Mar," he says finally, his accent becoming more enunciated, "all I can tell you is that if you even so much as think about harming my brother, or playing with her life and her mind, or causing any sort of disruption to our organization, then you'll have me to answer to.  And I don't care if you're immortal or pan-dimensional or the ****ing Easter bunny, I won't be ****ing happy about it.  I suggest you accept that she doesn't like you and leave her alone.  Are we clear?"

He barely notices Elayne and Trey rush outside in his heated furor.

((Keshin and Joanne shall return in my next post. :3 ))

Mar turns to Corliss and chuckles nastily. He isn't at all bothered by what Corliss is saying. It was exactly what he was expecting the Yeerk to say. He has such clear concern for my dear Precious. I believe that he will make a fantastic bodyguard. ...good. Precious' life can last just a bit longer. ....I would not want her rushing to me, much as I desire her.

He then states with a hint of a sneer, "Weren't you listening, boy? I told you that I promised Myitt and Ossanlin that I would not interfere with your timeline or your current life. And I am forced to keep my promises. I don't even care about what happens to your little reality. This place isn't even my territory. And frankly, what you say does not matter. I cannot stop being in love with someone at the drop of a hat, you know."

Mar smirks. "I know perfectly well that Myitt does not love me, and I accept this. And I do like to see her regardless. My business at this Bar has become more complicated since. But Myitt is only a single variation. All I must do is wait patiently until Myitt dies of old age, or a stray bullet hits her, or the troubles of her job catch up with her. Then you will be out of her life, and I will have what I seek."

[Myitt]

Corliss shakes his head.  "Believing this whole business would force me to agree that there is even something as sentimental and physically unproven as a soul.  Like, maybe in the past I was a Councilor, or the King of France, or an ancient Taxxon ancestor.  Bunch of rubbish, if you ask me.  Even if all that nonsense is true, how can you possibly have control over what she does when she dies?  Like some human devil, forcing your will upon her.  That truly would be her version of hell."  He crosses his arms in a huff.

Joanne waits for some time as Keshin swims about in the pool. She isn't fond of waiting, but she's gone through this procedure every three days since they began cooperating. Leaving Keshin alone on the ship would be a dumb move in her opinion. Once Keshin starts to get a bit antsy-looking in the pool, Joanne figures that he is done. It's about time anyway. Joanne therefore bends her head over the pool and dips her ear into it. Joanne winces. She's always hated this part of the sequence.

Keshin re-taps into Joanne's body and gains control in short order. <...hmm. Looks like you got the other Dracon. ...very well. That's all we'll need. Let's see what has happened since we left.>

<Yeah, come on. We're stayin' too long in here. We might be a lil' weak, Kess. Did I get everythin?'>

<It isn't a problem. Let's go.>

Keshin then presses a button to lower the ramp, walking down it and onto the path near the ships. He's surprised that Myitt didn't steal his ship controls to begin with, but he suspects she simply didn't find them. As Keshin wanders forward, he notices that there's some sort of digging going on farther away from him. Keshin frowns. <What the hell? What do you think is going on over there?>

<I dunno. We better take a look.>

Keshin then moves towards the general direction of the dig site...

Mar grins a bit. The Yeerk obviously has a very limited grasp on such matters. Perhaps it is time for Mar to enlighten him. "Oh I am not saying that any of Myitt's personality will survive for more than a few hours after death. The soul cannot hold memories or experiences, after all. But whatever made Myitt react to those experiences and change her personality to fit them in a unique way...that transfers from body to body fairly well. Especially when you consider that among your race, early experiences are ever so similar. I don't give a damn about the Yeerk called Myitt. I care about what made that Yeerk what she is."

Mar clenches his fist with his gauntlet. "And that I will be able to warp and change after the brain is long gone...because it will be absorbed into me. The pretense of separate identity will be maintained for my pleasure. Now..." Mar pauses, seeming to think very hard. "...in this place, in this body...I cannot understand some of it. It's too vast for my currently mortal mind. But I know the end result. And I am looking forward to it."

Belzar finished filling the grave, and smoothed out the earth. There were obviously some negative feelings coming from the lifeforms, but even negative feelings are better than having no feelings at all. Better than just going through existance doing only one thing and not caring about anything besides doing one's assigned task.

"Yes they are quite amazing creatures to admire. The Koltan are the largest of the three species of bird on Fringe. They hunt the Nirtz which are the smallest species of bird and are considered as pests." Lucan placed Ace back in his cage and walked towards the closet. "The Taln are the third species and considered a delicacy for special occasions. They are served at cremonies of engagement for example as well as other times of celebration."

Lucan took off his heavy coat and hung it in the closet. His arms from mid-bicep down to his hands were revealed to be just like a humans except for the color and spots. He reached back and tightened the chain around his poytail slightly then turned to look at Genie his spots and eyes again turning netural pink in color.

"Is there anymore of the ship you wish to see or would you prefer to sit and talk? If you wish to talk we can sit in the lounge area and I have food I could prepare if you are hungry."


(( Johnny here and I apologize for my absence which is due to hospital stay. I will make an effort to be online and post updates on my stay and regular posts as well at night. I will be back here around 11 tonite so see ya then.))

[Myitt]

"And you can have this sort of control over anyone whose....soul....yo u possess?"  Corliss smirks.  "You're either very powerful indeed, or you're a loony with delusions of grandeur."  His eyes narrow.  "Suppose I decide to believe you.  What, exactly, did my brother do to deserve this afterlife under your dominion?  Or was she just lucky enough to be reincarnated or whatever into this Yeerkish life of 'ers, and you've got the chance to take her soul in every life?"

[Shenmue654]

Keshin stops just outside the grave, his heart caught in his throat upon realizing that he's looking at a funeral. Elayne and a peculiar robot who he seems to recall seeing earlier are taking care of the job. Keshin bows his head out of a rather human respect for the dead, cultivated from years of living in Joanne's body.

He then turns to Elayne with a distant look and states, "This is him, isn't it? That guy inside the Bar. We never even got the chance to see what he was like."
*******************************************************************************
Mar nods, looking slightly irritated but somehow maintaining his composure. Part of him wants to rip Corliss in two for his insolence...and the other part realizes how stupid of an idea that would be. He would kill his body in the process and upset his dear Precious. "Yes yes, Corliss. Anyone whose soul has been offered to me I can control after I recieve it, for they become part of me. It's a bit like how you can control your host's right arm, actually. Or perhaps your own body. As for what Precious did...in her case, it isn't a matter of that."

Mar smirks coldly. "She sold it to me to save another. But mostly to keep her sanity. We've had a few...run-ins. If you ask her, she will deny me but will be unable to completely shake the thought off. And if you believe me a madman...good for you. But I'm a madman who can float."

Elayne looked up as Keshin joined them and she backed away from the grave a little. "Yeah, that's the guy. Trey's dad," she said, trying to keep her voice casual, although her body was stiffer than usual. "I hope the kid's alright. It's tough to lose someone like that, especially through violence." She was glad to step away from the grave; she'd had enough death for one day, and enough reminders of her own loss. "Where you been?" she asked the bounty hunter, keeping an eye on Trey as she faced Keshin.

Genie caught herself staring at Lucan's arms. She turned away, embarrassed at herself. For God's sake, how old was she?

She cleared her throat. "I'd like to sit and talk." Her stomach rumbled. Genie smiled. "And I hadn't realized how hungry I am. Some food would definitely be appreciated." She turned to smile over her shoulder at Lucan, making a point of just looking at his face this time. Hopefully he didn't notice she was blushing. Or at least wouldn't guess what that meant.

[Johnny Xtreme]

Lucan noticed a color change in Genies face and was curious about it. "Why does your face change color like that Genie?" Lucan asked her as he walked towards the door and her.

[Stephquiem]

Genie turned redder. "Er..." She shook her head. She might as well be honest about it. "It can mean different things. It could mean I'm upset, or embarrassed, or just overly warm." She paused, turning to face the door again. "In this case I'm embarrassed. I... it's been awhile since I've been physically attracted to anyone. I'm reacting like an inexperienced girl."

[Johnny Xtreme]

Lucan walked beside Genie out the door and towards the lounge. "It is okay to be embarassed Genie if it has been a while since you have felt these feelings. When we met in the bar I was embarassed to admit my feelings for you as well." They arrived at the lounge and Genie sat at the holo board/table while Lucan walked to the cooler unit. He took out a slab of meat that was red in color and was about half the size of Ace.

Lucan placed the meat into the cooking unit then turned to look at Genie. "May I offer you something to drink? I have several different kinds of beverages that are from my smuggling days. Perhaps you will find something to your liking." As he finished speaking a section of floor opened and a platform with several cases on it rose up. "You may look in any of these and take what interests you."

[Stephquiem]

"Thanks." Genie peered at the cases, looking through their contents. "What is this?" She pointed to a small case. The purple label read, in blue lettering, "Thikkian Brandy." She pulled out a bottle.

[Johnny Xtreme]

"It is Thikkian Brandy a very sweet liquor that was the drink of nobles on a planet called Lanase. A very peaceful world that thrived under a monarchy." Lucan turned around and took the meat out of the cooking unit and placed it on the table as well as two plates, glasses and utensils.

The meat was a dark gold in color and smelled like a mixture of chicken and roast beef. Lucan carved a slice and placed it on Genie's plate then carved a slice of meat for himself. "The brandy is very good and I recommend it and I will take a glass also." He slid his glass close to Genie so she could fill it.
