Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

Taylis knows that Carris will speak when the time is right for him.  She twirls her black hair with her finger while she waits.

[Aldrea2011]

Danielle heads back to the ship and monitors her companions' life signs. There was nothing significant she could add to that conversation anyways.

[Nero's Fury]

''If you really must know who it was then just, go yourself, find him and bring him here. I will tell him in front of you. But there is nothing more I am willing to say.'' He stated simply.

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne raises her eyebrows at Salem and shakes her head. "It matters when they impact others. Don't tell me your an individualist, only concerned with your own welfare?"

At Temrash's declaration, she folds her arms, watching him curiously. "You paint a stronger image of deterrence from the Empire than ever existed in my timeline. Yeerks were too afraid to step out of line, not only because of what might happen to them, but what might become of their rights and abilities if they cost their race a victory."


<<Strength of mind?>> Serid echoes, his tone derisive. Then he composes his features and gives a polite nod. It is best, after all, to treat an Andalite with a tail blade ready to strike with deference, especially if she is his ranked superior. Still, he wonders just how idiotic she thinks he is to say something like that. <<I am sure you are to be commended, Warrior. You have done what even the great War Prince Alloran could not.>>

Upon hearing a voice, he turns his head to see who is coming; it is two human figures, both unfamiliar, at this distance at least.


Illim rounds the corner after Terenia, panting for breath from trotting after her and Mike. "What's your plan?" he asks, perhaps too late.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin gives Okaru a bit of a crestfallen look.  <Ah, then it seems we unfortunately do not have an accord.  There is no reason for me to help you.  You have given me a partial answer and I have given one back.  At any rate I thank you for the conversation and impressive demonstration of your skills on the battlefield.  I wish you luck finding the Prince on your own, I believe it will be more difficult than you think.>

Ossanlin turns back toward the bar, exhibiting relaxation, though in truth a stalk-eye continues to watch Okaru and his tail is ready to strike at any treachery.

[Terenia]

"Plan?" Terenia repeats, Mike's panic coming out a bit in her voice. "I, uh....guess I thought I'd wing it. Too late now."

Efaen lets a snort of contempt escape her nose slits, but further commentary is arrested by the arrival of what appears to be a very exhausted Corliss.

<Can I help you?> she asks, not even trying to keep the condescension from her tone.

"I, uh-" Terenia gasps, pulling up to a stop just out of tail reach of the Andalite. "Efaen, listen, I need to talk to you."

<Then talk.>

"Yeah," Terenia runs a hand through Mike's dark hair. "Yeah, okay, so..."

<<I can't think of anything! You do it!>> she throws herself out of the conversation, relinquishing control to Mike.

[Myitt]

Mike stands there, abruptly lurching back into control of his own body, and he nearly staggers.  He looks around, bewildered, and then stares at the Andalite.

"I...erh," he stammers.  "Efaen.  Efaen, I was wondering.  If...you'd...listen to a proposition my brother and I have for you." 

He sucks in a breath, glancing warily at Serid and then continuing, his gaze on Efaen's main eyes. 

"You see, we have a unique opportunity to build a relationship between the Yeerk people and the Andalites.  More than we ever have with War-Prince Ossanlin, or..."  Again his gaze flickers to Serid and back.  "Or with anyone else.  We need your help, you see.  Your vast knowledge of both the Yeerk Empire and the Andalite military make you invaluable.  More valuable even than Terenia."

<<Sorry, sorry, I'm making this up as I go along!>> he cries, swallowing before continuing. 

"If you would consider joining the Yeerk rebellion in order to conduct subterfuge against the Yeerk Empire, we would be honored to have you.  You have my word, whether you take it is no concern of my own."

Frantically wondering what Corliss would do in this situation, he bows his head slightly to show his gratitude, and his complete vulnerability.

[Terenia]

<<No, don't talk about it like that!>> Terenia cries in frustration. <<She has to think she's sacrificing herself or something. That this will bring her honor. She doesn't give a rat's ass about working with the rebellion.>>

True to Terenia's prediction, Efaen looks offended by Mike's offer.

<I have already indicated a desire to remain with Prince Ossanlin and his crew,> she states sourly. One stalk eye focuses on Serid, watching his response. <I have no desire to associate with your kind and your leader has made it clear that he feels similarly. Is it not enough that I am letting you live?>

<<Great,>> Terenia sighs internally.

[Nero's Fury]

Standing slowly, Okaru gripped the hilt of his blade, ''Why do you gaurd this andalite so fiercly? Is he family?''

[Myitt]

Mike's cheeks burn hot, and he's grateful the woods make it hard to see how stuck he is.

His tone of voice, however, exudes Corliss' calm after a cautious clearing of his throat.

"Wait, Efaen," Mike calls.  "If we were to, say...make you an unofficial prisoner of the Yeerk rebellion, your people would try to find you, would they not?"

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin chuckles a bit as he continues walking away from Okaru toward the bar itself.  <I suppose you could say that in a manner of speaking.  But I have to wonder what would make you say I'm "guarding" him?  I see no reason to freely give you information when you give nothing in return.  Only a fool gives something away for nothing.  And what exactly would I be 'guarding' him from anyway?  Didn't you say you only wanted to speak with him?>

Ossanlin stops as he reaches the bar, ordering another drink.

[Nero's Fury]

Okaru stared, ''If you are not Ossanlin himself you would not know the being who hired me.'' He called to him

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin glances back at Okaru with his main eyes as he waits for his drink.  <Then what harm in telling me?  Well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway does it?  You won't tell me, and if you don't tell me I won't tell you.  It seems our business is at an end.>  He feigns indifference, gesturing at Mar to join him at the bar if he should so desire.

<<What do you think, my friend?>>  Ossanlin sends a private thought to Mar.

[Terenia]

Efaen glares at Corliss suspiciously, searching for some sort of trap.

<If I were taken prisoner it would stand to reason that a thorough search would be conducted,> she says. Her voice is confident, although in truth she is not sure. She has been gone a long time, and only a minimal search was carried out to locate the captured aristh she had been. A minimal search followed by a hefty bounty on her captor. Would her people redouble their efforts if they knew she was caught within the rebellion? She did not know.


<<She's so full of ****,>> Terenia snorts. Her moment of panic has fizzled out, and now she is feeling distinctly embarassed for shoving this conversation on Mike. She does not attempt to seize control again, though, afraid that Efaen will be able to see past the guise created by her host.

[Shenmue654]

Mar follows Ossanlin in the direction he was going and states telepathically, <....I don't trust that creature at all. He seems to be only looking for you, but I do not doubt that he may cause us some kind of trouble. What's baffling however is that he said that someone you know ordered the hit on your life.>

Mar pauses in his thoughts, and then shrugs. <....no. I can't think of a single reason why someone in your family would be after you. Do you not have at least functional relations with the Electorate?>
