Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

[Myitt]

"Shh," Gene hisses, glancing around. "You don't want to anger it. I've heard stories...none of them pretty." He bites his lip, glancing at Terenia to see if she can share in the joke.

[Terenia]

Terenia smirks a little at Gene.

<<He's not so bad, I guess,>> she admits begrudgingly.

<<I told you,>> Esreth replies proudly. <<It's something every proper human girl needs.>>

<<Uh-huh. I still don't quite believe you on that one, Yeerk.>>

Clearing her throat, Terenia looks back at Parker and Jocun. "I've only seen the bouncer in action once or twice, but from what I understand his job isn't exactly to keep people in line. It's more to put the bar back together when someone inevitably blows it up. I've never seen him do anything to a person. Don't think I'd want to." She shivers a little.

"Perhaps this place is run by a higher power, like the Ellemist or Crayak. Maybe they built it so they could watch all the other dimensions and timelines at once. I don't suppose it's possible that this place is the origin of all reality?" Jocun asked. "It begs so many questions."

[Darth Revan]

Parker smiles, he looks from Gene to Terenia and replies, "You know Terenia, I've been here longer than you have. I've seen the bar pull itself back together on multiple occasions." He looks back to Gene, "No bouncer. It's a cute game, but I don't need a lie detector to tell you're playing a game here." He points to both of them, "The shared looks between you alone..."

He looks incredulously at Jocun, "And you're just off your rocker."

Parker calls the bartender over and asks Gene, "So what 'supply' do you prefer? The weird robed one at the table over there," he jerks his head toward the Jedi, "ordered something called a 'Tarisian Ale'. I thought it sounded odd enough to be good if I wasn't so guarded against the stuff."

[Chad32]

"What? You don't believe in higher powers? They certainly exist in my universe. Playing their games to amuse themselves to pass the time through eternity."

[Myitt]

"Oh yeah, Terenia and I share a lot of looks alone together," Gene says matter-of-factly. "Meaningful ones, even."

He eyes Terenia. "Careful, we'll have him thinking you're my girlfriend." He grins, ears reddening.

[Darth Revan]

Parker ignores Jocun and replies, "There are looks, and there are looks. Different ones have different meanings. Yours asked for credibility." He then narrows his eyes and points to his ears, "Those, on the other hand, show a completely different question."

He pats Gene on the shoulder and repeats his question, "So what'll be your drink? If you're up for water like Terenia and I, be sure to ask for a clean supply."

[Chad32]

"I think it's good to have people you care about. Simon has a husband himself. They've been together for a while. You guys look like you're pretty early in your relationship, though. I wish the best for both of you."

[Terenia]

Esreth laughs outright at that, grinning over at Gene. "Well you are her boyfriend," she teases. "You're a boy, and you're her friend, aren't you? That seems to fit the criteria pretty well, hm?" She reaches up and plucks at one of his curls, pulling it straight and letting it bounce back into place, seeming to have no regard for personal space.

When Terenia resumes control she rolls her eyes. "Ignore her," she says, pulling away a little. "Sometimes I think the alcohol here might be safer. At least you're guaranteed it's sterile. Mostly."

[Myitt]

"A drink?" Gene almost yelps. "Well, yeah, water's fine. Just water. Clean, uh, I guess."

He smiles a delayed smile at Terenia, tucking some of his hair back a little. "Heh, yeah, you're...you're right about that."

Then he glances at Jocun. "What?" he asks blankly, distracted by his own embarrassment and Terenia and Esreth's playfulness. "We...we're not...she's not my...we're not really in a relationship." Now the blush has crept to his light cheeks. "Did you say 'husband'?" He blinks.

[Chad32]

"Quite early in your relationship if you get flustered just for someone noticing you have feelings for someone." Simon said. "If you didn't like her, you wouldn't be as bothered. It's ok, though. Different people go at a different pace. And yes I'm married. I'm educated, in good shape, and have a good career, so of course I didn't have too much trouble finding someone."

[Myitt]

Gene's gaze flicks from Terenia to Simon.

"Trust me," he says with a short laugh. "Terenia and I are just good friends."

[Terenia]

Esreth slides back into control, clearly enjoying the conversation. She looks up at Gene with wide eyes, biting her lip. "Are you...are you telling me that you don't like me?" she asks, feigning hurt. "Like....like like me?"

<<Oh my God,>> Terenia groans. <<Please stop making me look like some fourteen year old girl.>>

[Myitt]

Gene finally allows the tension in his shoulders to relax a hair.

"Terenia," he says loftily, "I adore you." He grins.

[Darth Revan]

Parker smiles, amused, and asks, "Not to ruin the 'like'-fest; but what happened with Corliss?" He looks to Terenia, "I heard you two were rather close when you regained your body; or was I misinformed?"
