Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

[Chad32]

"Heh. Kind of a mysterious story. It's not my dad that's missing. There once was a royal scientist who created a geothermal power plant that powered everything in the whole Underground. Unfortunately he fell into the machine, and somehow almost all information and memory about him was erased. like he never existed, except his invention remained. Dad had information about him, and there are strange occurences implying that the Man who Speaks in Hands still exists in some fashion. That machine may lead to him."

"I don't know what exact relation he had with Dad. Not even dad is entirely sure. But the machine works, so the search goes on."

[Terenia]

Dalik's suspicious gaze doesn't leave Ossanlin or Myitt, even as she steps back to the bar and slides onto the stool. Evidently, her earlier thoughts about leaving have fled with the entrance of the Andalite. Now she watches him intently, and you can practically see the gears turning over in her head as she contemplates the situation.


For William's part, he seems to be more at ease with two beers in him. Despite the absurdity of the patrons, he settles more comfortably on the bar stool. "Hey, Blue," he says, speaking to Ossanlin with a ****y smirk. "She's telling the truth, you know. She's over her head with grief and hasn't thought about you since...well, probably since she saw you last, though I can't tell, exactly." He frowns a bit, realizing for the first time that his usual abilities seem a bit dampened. "Strange," he murmurs. Glancing at Jeffrey, he barks, "Tell me a lie."

[Myitt]

Myitt stares down at the counter.

"You know what?" she says simply. "You're right."

And she walks away from Ossanlin, back to her bottle of liquor. She gives William the barest of glances.

"What the hell would you know about it, anyway?" she asks William sourly.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin gives William a strange glance before Myitt speaks and walks away.  He immediately feels guilty for his words, but they ARE justified from his point of view.  He draws from his human experiences to speak again, slapping his hands on the bar counter loudly.  <Dammit Yeerk!  Get mad!  Get angry at me!  The Myitt I know wouldn't give up this easily.  She'd scrap and fight 'til the end.  Snap the hell out of itaaagh...>

Ossanlin's body suddenly jerks, his fur shimmering and turning a bright, iridescent silver along with his hooves and tail.  His face contorts into an intense expression of pain that he cannot control.  His normally light-blue eyes turn gold and start to burn brightly with an inner light.  Meanwhile paroxysms wrack his body as his back legs give out, his tail lashing wildly through the air as he falls, front hooves scrambling.  He looks straight at Myitt, eyes wide and burning gold, expression twisted in pain and disbelief before his body suddenly reverts to normal.  Blue fur, blue eyes, no paroxysms.

Ossanlin sits on the floor for a moment, breathing hard as he tries to gather himself back up.  He slowly gets back to his hooves, gripping the bar counter with both hands, and looks around the room again, still regaining his composure.

"What the ****!?" a bemused Merc cries out. Apparently, he had exited the restroom just as Ossanlin's spasms begin. "I leave for five freakin' minutes. . . ." He runs over close to Ossnalin, but keeps a safe distance away. After all, he knew absolutely nothing about Andalites, let alone this one in particular. "Are you alright?" he asks, genuine concern in his voice. "The hell was that?"

[Chad32]

Verdana's eye lights widened in shock.

"What was that? and no, can we please not get angry, and start a fight?" Somebody needed to get between those two. Someone larger, and able to portray more of a presence than some kid.

[Shenmue654]

"Okay, I guess," says Jeffrey, giving William a weird look. "My name is Mr. Snuggles and I am a stuffed bear that helps my daughter get to sleep at night. I totally didn't use drugs to try and soothe her PTSD nightmares--- It was candy all along." Jeffrey shrugs.

But before he can ask William what his deal is, he blinks in surprise as soon as he sees the blue Andalite convulsing and glowing with light. Only one thought burrows his way into his brain: I should help him. Jeffrey realizes immediately that that wouldn't work, because he doesn't know what the Andalite's powers are, but he rushes over beside Merc and Verdana anyway.

"Hey, Ossanlin or whatever, what's going on? Are your powers detrimental like mine? Is this gonna happen a lot? Talk to me."

[Terenia]

Dalik's eyes widen, and she finally draws her weapon as the Andalite seems to go into some sort of epileptic seizure, complete with an incredibly unusual light show. The metal gun hisses quietly over the leather of her holster, and she thumbs the dial back to a stun before aiming it at Ossanlin. Her expression isn't angry, but both brows are drawn together in a wary furrow.

"Stay back," she tells the patrons rushing to his side. "Do you see that tail of his? If he has another fit he could behead you without realizing it."


Jumping to his feet, William backs away from the Andalite. Where the others seem to feel the urge to help, he simply watches in fascination. "Well, then," he breathes, straightening his sleeves. "That's interesting."

[Myitt]

Myitt stares at the light show that is her friend, until  the brightness makes her wince and look away.

When the display is over she blinks rapidly and looks back at Ossanlin, speechless, her glass of liquor still in her hand.

[Chad32]

"Put the weapon down, Dalik. You're just going to provoke him."

He tried his best to sound as serious as possible. His eyelights went out briefly, as he heard that Humans found his face even creepier when he didn't have eyelights.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

A few tremors run through Ossanlin's body as he breathes deeply.  Slowly, his composure returns to normal, though his muscles are sore and possibly sprained.  He looks at the BT who merely smiles, continuing to dry-wash a single, smudged glass with his dirty towel.

<I'm sorry...>  He speaks to the room at large, looking at no one in particular.  <I seem to have...momentarily lost control.>  Ossanlin does his best to keep his tone of thought steady, though it wavers a bit.

Ossanlin glances at Merc.  <I...am somewhat unique.  I have the ability to...ascend.  Here at this place, it is something I can do consciously, but I did not will it just now.  It just...happened, and strongly.>  Ossanlin shakes his head slowly.

He moves his main eyes to Jeffrey, still making a conscious effort to breathe deeply.  <Detrimental?  Not to my knowledge.  This...thing...has never happened before...>

He finally notices Dalik with weapon drawn.  <If you're going to shoot, do it.  I'm sure you'll be very popular afterward.>  Ossanlin shakes his head.  That was cavalier...and dangerous.  But he senses no intent to kill coming from the unknown Yeerk, so if she did shoot, it would either be an act of pure psychosis, or the weapon was set to stun.

Finally he moves his main eyes back to Myitt.  <I...I'm sorry.>  Clearly the apology this time is for something other than the episode he'd just experienced.  He turns back to the bar counter and warily orders another drink.

[Myitt]

Myitt hops off her seat. "Hey, Ossanlin," she says gently, sidling back over to him, her drink forgotten.

She touches his shoulder hesitantly, worry etched on her face.

"What's happening to you?" she asks under her breath, glancing back at Dalik and the others.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin dips his hoof into the new bowl slid under the counter and looks over at Myitt with his main eyes.  <<I don't know exactly...I suppose it must have something to do with what I did several months back.  This is the first time I've returned to the Bar since then...I...did something bad.  I don't know if you'd even believe me if I told you.>>

[Myitt]

Myitt smiles wryly.

"Try me," she replies. "I've seen a lot of ****, you know that."

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin takes a deep breath, inaudibly sighing through his breathing slits.  <<Fine, but this is beyond most everything...>>  He breathes deeply again before starting in.  <<Myitt...this time-state, the current time-line?  It's not the right one.  Well, it is now, but it wasn't the original.>>

He launches into the entire story regarding Rogue Element and the destruction of the rebellion base.  The building of the new space-dock for the Tyrennian.  The re-outfit to build a permanent Yeerk pool into the dome.  The mixed crew...everything.

<<But then things went bad.  People died.  Good people, rebels and Andalites both.  When I lost you, and the rest of the rebellion left, I knew the Tyrennian was done.  So I came back here.  I...borrowed some help and entered the time-stream.  I stopped the information leak to the Electorate from ever happening.  I guess the amount of power I used must've...damaged my connection with the Ellimist or something.  It's how I knew who Illim was.>>  Ossanlin watches Myitt as he finished recounting his tale.
