Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Hunter]

((argh, pooph... i forgot about my new character in the RP...))

Walking to the bar, Paul had stopped to take in the scenery. Not used to seeing so much greenery in one place, it was for the most part, overwhelming.

Since he had been stationed at New Gettysburg Space Port when the Zerg had attacked, New Gettysburg was mostly steel and concrete.

Starting to walk towards the bar, he pushed open the door with his free left hand and he asked to the bar at large "Does anyone have a shovel? I have someone that needs burying." As he said that his brothers gold cross dangled freely from the barrel of his C-14 Gauss Rifle and it caught a shaft of light and glinted brightly in the otherwise dark-ish bar.

[Myitt]

"Why are you so insistent that Ossanlin won't try and help you, as well as your sister?" Corliss asks Terenia. "I expect Myitt will try and understand your point of view.  We've become far too involved with humanity not to sympathize with...with what you've become.  In a way, you are suffering from the opposite dilemma.  A human, overtaken by Yeerk society, forced into it, rather than a Yeerk overtaken by the allure of humanity.  Our little host-happy mental illnesses, as the Empire would no doubt describe it."  He shrugs and glances back at the screens, although he isn't really seeing them.  "At the very least, I hope your sibling and mine do come back in one piece."

[Terenia]

<Because Ossanlin is an Andalite, and no Andalite has ever helped me without helping themselves first,> Terenia says, <besides, even if his intentions are honorable he is acting stupidly. He would be helping me by not getting involved,> as she continues the frustration in her tone escalates, <I don't want anyone else to free my sister. I never asked them to. It's not their job. It isn't their problem, it isn't their mistake to fix.>

Terenia takes a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. When she speaks again she has regained control over her emotions, <I hope, for your sake, that Myitt returns safely.>

<<No,>> Efaen says silently, <<you hope for your sake that Myitt returns safely.>>

Trey glances at Mar, as though realizing for the first time that he is a part of the conversation. He quickly averts his gaze, though, unable to shake the feeling of strangeness that Mar gives him.

"Maybe not," Trey says, sounding unconvinced, "but in the reality that I'm from Elayne Jogan is...well...I only know what my dad has said, really. And what they say in history. But she's, like..." he shifts, looking incredibly uncomfortable with what he is about to say, "Elayne the Traitor is...well, she's the person who most of my people think brought about the end of the Yeerk resistance, indirectly. She was a part of the rebellion, fighting for the Yeerks, but then she disappeared after this big protest. For awhile people thought she would come back, but she didn't and things got bad. Fast. A lot of people died. The resistance fell apart. Free Yeerks and voluntary humans were rounded up. That was when they started branding the nothlits..." he trails off, looking anywhere but at Elayne or Mar's faces.

[Darth Revan]

((Wow, Teach, that's one helluva guilt trip. ))

[Terenia]

(( Don't worry, Marie knew it was comin'))

[Darth Revan]

((No, yeah, I figured as much. Very cool character. When did you decide to make him?))

[Terenia]

((When the bar died because so many people were on side missions. Something needed to happen to break the silence, so I just introduced a random character. He's kinda growing on me, though ))

[Hunter]

((is anyone gonna talk to my character??? i just had him walk into the bar))

[Darth Revan]

((Sorry, I'm locked in a convo with Shen's Keshin character.))

[KitsuneMarie]

Every moment Elayne listened to Trey, her face grew paler, her blue eyes appearing strangely dark against her white skin. The suspicion had entered her mind that she was somehow responsible for the terror that Trey had experienced, but she had managed to force the possibility to the back of her mind until now. "Do you think I caused this... by not going back to Earth after my father died?" She looked to Trey for an answer, but he would not meet her eyes, so she turned her gaze to Mar instead. Despite her worries, she noticed he seemed off somehow worn out, as if he had just run a marathon.

[Myitt]

Corliss watches Terenia as her frustration escalates, but in the end he just places a hand on Terenia's thin Andalite shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. 

"I'm sorry they've done this to you, you know," he says quietly.  "The Andalites.  My own people.  You're nothing but a pawn to them in this war.  A toy to be discarded."  He withdraws his hand and turns away.  "I know it doesn't matter much, nothing can be changed, now.  But perhaps if they can bring your sister back, you can reconcile some small part of yourself that was lost in all this unpleasantness." 

He shrugs again and looks up at the screens.  "Hello, Earth to the Mirage?" he asks the computer, exasperated.

Temrash grabbed all of his stuff and left the ship to get back into the bar. Once inside he sat at a table and ordered him some drink. "Ah, back at the bar. I wonder if anything has happened since I left." He said, looking for Myitt.

(We're back! Who exactly is inside the bar again? I'm not sure if Temrash knew Myitt and the others were going on the trip, but I think Corliss was gone when Temrash left. I forget.)

[Terenia]

((Elayne, Mar and Trey are at one table. Hunter's character just came in and asked if anyone has a shovel, but no one has answered him yet. Parker's character The Director is talking to Keshin up at the bar. Thordon is sleeping(?)....I think that's everyone inside. Corliss and Terenia are out on Myitt's Bug Fighter.))

Terenia looks embarrassed, if possible. She averts her gaze, trying her best to ignore the guilt that stabs through her chest.

<I hope you're right, Corliss,> she says quietly, a small smile in her eyes at his touch, <I mean, you aren't...but it'd be nice to think you were. I do appreciate the apology, though. Even if you haven't got anything to apologize for personally.>

She pulls away then, uncomfortable with his close proximity and confused at the fact that she wasn't entirely hating it. Her gaze remains lowered as she waits to hear a response from Myitt, wondering if one will ever come.

[Chad32]

(Thanks.)

"Hey Mar." Temrash said when he noticed the guy. "Anything interesting happen since I was away? You happen to know where Myitt and Ossanlin are? Or maybe Corliss?"

[Myitt]

Corliss smiles blandly.  "Let's bloody 'ope that I'm right, love," he says, staring at the holoscreens.  "At least there's the hope that we're right.  That we have the chance to help your sister, the chance that my brother has survived all this foolish mess." 

He peers at Terenia out of the corner of his eye.  "Are you all right?" he asks, sincerely.
