Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Myitt]

Corliss narrows his eyes.  "Believe me, love, I am not your body guard," he says lowly.  He looks over her shoulder, in the direction of her own Bug fighter.  "Have you heard anything from Ossanlin?  I still haven't had a single bloody word from Myitt.  I thought you'd at least be anxious to see if they've succeeded in their goals.  Me, I just want to know if they're still alive."  As The Director pushes past him Corliss finds himself clenching his fists painfully, although he's not sure why.

<I swear to Christ, mate, if you punch a Time Lord I might 'ave to abandon you,> Mike warns.

[Terenia]

<Why would I care if they've succeeded?> Terenia asks roughly. She softens, then, feeling the first stab of guilt. How long would it take for Visser Three to get her message? And how long after that would he make a move?

<No,> she says in a calmer 'voice', <I have not heard from Ossanlin. I doubt that they intend on calling me before their return, though. They certainly did not leave me with any way of contacting them.>

[Darth Revan]

((Haha, Mike is awesome. The Director turns around while still walking and sees no one's following. He tilts his head a moment and calls out, "Fine pay for your drinks then." He turns back around and enters the bar.

[Myitt]

He shakes his head and takes out his comm link, looking down at the small black rounded square.  "Nothing on my end," he sighs.  "I feel like maybe I should go after them, we 'ave Ossanlin's ship coordinates in Myitt's Bug."

((Well how would you feel if your fictional childhood hero walked up to you and turned out be a jerk? XD))

[Darth Revan]

((Well, he's no Doctor, but he's not The Master either, so Mike should be glad for that. Plus, if someone had a gun to your head, I don't think you'd be too pleasant either. ))

The Director went up to the bar and ordered a lager. The BT scowled as he poured his drink and served it to him. The Director thanks him and as he takes a sip comments, "Right ray of sunshine idn't 'e?"

[Shenmue654]

((Sorry for the confusion, guys. x3;; I didn't even know they'd even left the Bar! XD Even though I should've remembered that Terenia was outside. ; ) Pooor Kelly is braindead. ^___^;;;; ))

Keshin watches as Corliss leaves the Bar with a worried expression on his face. <Guess he's gone to look for her. Oh well. He'll come back inside. My god, that's probably the first time he's ever taken my advice.>

<Should we hope that sticks?>

<Don't count on it.>

Keshin then sips his grape juice and notes the worried-looking Elayne and Trey with interest. He hopes to high heaven that whatever they're talking about, it has nothing to do with time.

The odd fellow known as the Director returns to the Bar sometime later, immediately ordering a drink. Keshin blinks and walks towards him, putting his hand on his hip. "So, you've finally come back inside. Did everything go alright with the ship?"
*****************************************************************************************
Mar notes the exchange between Elayne and Trey and glares slightly at Trey. What he is proposing doesn't make sense. Why would a lone boy without his father even care about what Elayne does with her time? He has no proof at all that they come from the same place.

Mar then turns to Elayne and Trey and states with his hands on his hips, "...why wouldn't you want Elayne to return to Earth? Is it just a feeling? I personally thought she needed to stop running away from her problems. Though they are somewhat large, aren't they?"

[Darth Revan]

((Shen, Cor, T, and The Director were outside. Only The Director re-entered the bar.))

[KitsuneMarie]

((Kelly, I'm going to only incorporate the last bit of your post in my reckoning of what happened, but if that conflicts with any modifications you make, I'll edit my post.))

Elayne frowned at Trey as she lowered her hand back to her lap, trying to determine what it was he was avoiding telling her. When Mar spoke, however, she sighed. So he thought she should return to Earth, too. It was sounding more and more like what was expected of her--what would be the right thing to do. The problem was that Trey's advice, as strangely and uncomfortably as it had been offered, sounded a good deal more appealing.

"Maybe you're right," she sighed to Trey, "although I have no idea what you're grounding that on." She certainly had no desire to face her father's killers again, not after how they had defeated her, both in and out of court. "I'm easily one of the least popular humans in the country. If I went back there, I could be killed at any moment, and I doubt they'd even prosecute the assassin. That's a very selfish way of thinking, but I'm not sure I've ever acted any other way, really."

[Darth Revan]

The Director looked at Joanne up and down, noting her body language. He spins around in his chair, giving her his full attention and says, "No clue. Last I saw there was one bloke inside about to bury a friend of 'is. Since all was well, beside the deaths, I came back 'ere." He made a curious face and  asked, "I thought you were there, why am I tellin' you? When'd you leave the lake, if you could call it that?"

[Terenia]

Trey shrugs helplessly, "I don't know, I just...I get a bad feeling about it. I think..." he hesitates, trying to put the pieces together in his mind, but he falls short. Grunting in frustration he puts his hands on his forehead, wincing when he brushes against the gauze covering his head wound.

"I get the feeling that I know you from somewhere," Trey says, addressing Elayne this time, "I just can't figure out where..."

---

<Go after them?> Terenia echoes in alarm, <why? You'd just be putting yourself in danger. They've been gone a long time, by the time you even caught up with them they'd either be on their way back or already dead.>

[Myitt]

Corliss looks up at Terenia, then back down at the unresponsive link.  "They might need assistance," he says, brow furrowed.  "No, it's not like her to not check in after this long.  Not even...not even our superiors have heard so much as a word."  He brushes past Terenia, distracted, walking toward Myitt's Bug fighter.  If anything would be able to crack through the Mirage's codes, it would be her ship.

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne frowned. "I don't feel like I know you at all," she told him, leaning forward to look at the bandage. "Want me to change that?" she added. Then she leaned back and shrugged, still fighting down the cold feeling of unease at the base of her stomach--a feeling she couldn't explain. "Maybe I just look like someone you know." She certainly hoped that was the case, and not that she was somehow linked with him through time. "Or maybe you know my name from somewhere? I'm Elayne Jogan."

[Terenia]

<But...> Terenia isn't quite sure what to say, or why she is so eager to keep Corliss from hunting down Myitt and the others. After all, there's no way they would know she betrayed them. Or was there?

Drawing in a sharp breath, Terenia breaks into a trot, catching up to Corliss quickly.

<I'll come with you,> she says, <if that's alright with you.>

----

Trey was in the process of lowering his arm from the wound on his head when Elayne spoke and he froze. His hand hung in midair as his eyes widened first in shock and then disbelief mixed with what could almost be interpreted as fear.

"Did you say..." Trey hisses, "Elayne Jogan?"

[Myitt]

Corliss gives Terenia a curt glance.  For a moment he considers just telling her 'no', it was a risk letting her anywhere near rebel files.  

"Just don't touch anything," he says, walking up to Myitt's ship and opening the hatch.  He looks over at Terenia, then back at the hatch.  "Now, she doesn't usually deploy a ramp...don't know if there is one...hold on."  He speaks a few commands to the ship, before finally reaching one that extends a ramp.  The phrase was 'grass eater's dropshaft', and Corliss rolls his eyes, stepping up the ramp and onto the ship.  

He keeps the power on its most basic level, accessing only the communications array.  Impatiently he waits for the old system to respond.

Once Terenia was onboard, he asks her, "Reckon you like music?  There's a, um...discman thing, right there, underneath.  You can use it, not too loud.  But don't touch anything else."  He taps at the holoscreen and as an afterthought he adds, "Please."

The ramp retracts and the hatch closes behind the two of them.

Belzar had followed Corliss and Terenia silently for lack of anything better to do.
