test Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (((It's CaptainSkye. I probably shouldn't be using this universal account for my own personal needs, but It may be a day or too before my account get's re-activated, and I don't want to keep you guys waiting))) Kablo was swept with a wave of...fear? Odd. He rarely felt such emotions; what was the point? It was almost like he was having the fear inflicted on his mind, against his will. He shuddered. "Er..." Staring into the woman's cold eyes, Kablo couldn't find his strength. Who were these people? He took a breath, and spoke the words. "I was told to tell you...Adar's killer greets the Sith warrior who hunted him." Kablo exhaled the words, feeling freed from them. Then he took a step back to watch the woman's reaction. The gizka in his jacket began to squirm madly. What was it on about...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Despite his composure the young man's flicked up in surprise at the words 'Sith Warrior', he waited to see the woman's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Kira's eyes narrowed as she waited for Nalaen to respond. Now she was sure the message had been sent by the strange woman who kept glancing this way. And what was all this about Adar? A small sigh escaped her lips. No doubt it was a mission Nalaen had been sent on that Kira had not heard of... nothing unusual there. Across the room, Nadira's sharp eyes took in Kira's response to the question and she turned slightly to get a better view of Nalaen, waiting for her response.

Writer Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 You do realize that staring at him isn't really doing anything, right? Teri's voice interrupted Kira's thoughts. I know, Kira answered mentally, her eyes wavering slightly. Now shut up. Her eyes locked onto the young man's eyes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The young man resisted a grin, if there was one thing pazaak was good for it was helping you stare down anyone. Of course using the force helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessèd Sith Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Nalaen's eyes went wide and shot right to Nadira. So that was where she knew her from. Oh, that had been an interesting time. The cantina . . . Gods, was history repeating? "Did they take your holocron too?" she wondered dryly, arching a brow, not caring that pretty much everyone in the cantina could hear her speaking across the room. Glancing at Kira she smirked sheepishly and lifted her shoulders in a meek shrug. Returning her attention to Nadira, she studied her. What the hell was going on here?

jokemaster Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 "A sith, huh?" Said the young man, being the only other person in the cantina to break the sudden silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessèd Sith Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 She looked up at the young guy with mock surprise etched on her face and spoke into the silence. "Well, what else would I be? Do I look like a Jedi?" Giving him a disgruntled glower, Nalaen then looked around the cantina. She really didn't care if people knew she was a Sith. What were they going to do? Attack her? That thought nearly made her laugh. If that was the case, there'd be a lot of dead people in this place. No, admitting her allegiance was the best thing she could do now. Denying it would be stupid; on top of that, it would take away from any control or power she could have over the people. "Yes, I'm a Sith," she said calmly, almost quietly. Her attention returned to the princess -- was she even still a princess? "And you . . . what are you doing here? Us bumping into each other again cannot be a good sign." After all, last time she had been sent to kill someone (and hadn't), it had been because of Nadira. Now, on another mission to kill someone (or something of the sort) Nadira had popped up again. What the hell was going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Kira nodded wordlessly in response to the man's question. She turned to Nalaen. "You know her?" Nadira stood and crossed the room, handing Kablo the money she'd promised him, and took a seat across from Nalaen. "A second cantina," she said. "Our paths cross again."

jokemaster Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The young man didn't like this, it was getting complicated, but he revealed nothing. He gave a shrug. "Didn't seem like either actually." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessèd Sith Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 She grunted. Didn't seem like either? That was strange. Or perhaps he didn't want to say he had assumed anything. Seemed like a safer thing to say. Besides, she had been covering her Force aura, so it would be more difficult to sense what she was. Still, she was sure with the cloak and cowl and tattoos that she looked a little like a Sith. But it didn't matter. Turning to face Nadira, whom had sat at the table, she nodded slowly. "Yes, our paths do cross again. And it worries me why. Last time was because of Adar." So what was it this time? Coincidence? Nalaen was Sith: she didn't believe in coincidences. There was something to this. Perhaps Nadira was someone she had to talk to, to get information about her and Kira's duty. Was Nadira somehow tied into all this? However, this was pure speculation on Nalaen's part, trying to figure this bit of a mess out. Glancing back at Kira, she shrugged once more. "The last mission my Master sent me on. I had to kill a man who betrayed the Sith. Fool. But he had also betrayed Nadira," here she nodded to the woman sitting with them, "and so she got to kill him. It was a rather big mess, I quite enjoyed it. Luckily my orders were that my mark had to die, not necessarily that I had to kill him." Her eyes darkened and anger flared around her. "But a holocron, one we needed, was stolen. And I paid the price for that." Her eyes shot to Nadira. "Did they take yours? Assuming you had one."

Writer Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 "I didn't," Nadira answered. "But I think I may have a clue as to who has yours." Kira leaned forward, showing her first real interest. "Who?" "Adar's second in command has taken his place," Nadira answered. "There's a good chance that Lachlan has it." She paused for a moment. "But I have learned something else that disturbs me more than Lachlan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 ****, here comes the damn conspiracy thought the man. Ah well, he'd help them if he could. If they'd just let them finish this damn hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessèd Sith Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Nalaen's ears perked, as did her brows as she stared at Nadira. Casually, without moving an eye, she laid down a card, making twenty on the table. Returning her full attention to the third woman, her lip twitched slightly. "Okay, so what the hell is going on around here? Could someone explain? I was sent out -- again -- to do something that I had to figure out on the way, and find Kira doing pretty much the same thing. Then you show up and say that Kira has also lost a holocron. Bloody hell, what is happening? Can we just get to the easy part and start killing things?!"

90SK Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Kablo, satisfied that the credits he had just received were more than enough to get him far away from this place, decided that Nalaen's final statement was his cue too leave. He side glanced at Nadria. "Ah, well. Thanks..." he mumbled as he shuffled his way towards the door. This situation no longer concerned him, hopefully.

Writer Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Nadira nodded in response to Kablo's thanks before turning back to Nalaen. She smiled faintly. "Ah, you are so much like you were when I last saw you... only interested in who you must kill. A true assassin!" "But this is not so easy as that," she went on. "Two days ago, I confronted Lachlan meaning to kill him. He laughed in my face and told me something that frightened me greatly." "Get on with it," Kira hissed. "You've said that twice now." "I am not from this time frame," Nadira answered slowly. "In fact, there are multiple dimensions. I am from the future of one of these." Kira's eyes widened and she stared at the woman sitting next to her. "What?" "Adar and Lachlan of this dimension took me from my own and recreated my story here," Nadira explained. "They did this to free up my own dimension for the Adar and Lachlan of that dimension to take over." Dead silence. Nadira sighed. "I know it's confusing," she admitted.

90SK Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Kablo tripped out the door, very much intent on getting to his ship and making haste to another starport. He didn't want to be involved in this mess anymore. Once he got outside the cantina he began briskly walking in the direction of the hangar. *exit* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessèd Sith Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Multiple dimentions? Well . . . Nalaen supposed she could handle that one. But it was the other bit that had her kinda confused. And suspicious. They removed her from the proper time-stream to take over her power? Kingdom? Planet? Whatever, still . . . ambitious. Ingenious, really, if it didn't destroy the galaxy. Playing with the time-space continuum was really a thing left up to the Gods, and if need be, perhaps Force users. But for some stupid little petty mortals to tamper with things . . . It irked her. Leaning closer in, she arched a brow. "Did he tell you this? Or do you know from your own recollection. It's a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Things like dimentions are not easily toyed with. Perhaps they're . . . playing with your head?" She paused in thought for a moment. "It still doesn't change the fact that they're mortal. I don't care how many times they split their presence over time. I'll kill them all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 "Lachlan and I fought two months ago," Nadira answered. She lifted her head, revealing her neck. There was a long scar at the center of her neck. "After giving me this, he told me what was going on." "If you don't believe me," she went on, "there is further proof that I am not from this time frame. The Sith Hunters." "What?" Kira snapped. "You've not heard of them, have you?" Nadira asked. Kira's eyes narrowed and she shook her head. "That's because they don't exist yet," Nadira explained. "In about 2000 or so years, they will appear in history. They are in my past." "You could have made that up," Kira said suspiciously. Nadira shrugged. "Perhaps," she said. "But if you help me return to my rightful time frame and restore my kingdom to me, you will learn how truthful I am being." The bartender came and gave the man his drink and Kira stopped him. "I'm thinking I want one of those too." The bartender nodded and moved away. Nadira smirked and turned to Nalaen. "I hope I haven't driven you into drinking too?" she said.
