JasraLantill Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "You can't?" Beryl snorted softly. "Hell, I just decked my first officer. And my friend," she added quietly. "You are still my friend, aren't you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 There was a slight rustling in the darkness of the compartment. Then, Jana appeared. "Could have you kicked off the crew for that," she offered with a shy smile. "But friends don't do that. Yeah, we're still friends." She straightened her hair and clothing and crawled out of the compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "Thanks," Beryl said, offering a hand to help Jana up. "Of course, there's still Nic to contend with. I wouldn't be surprised if he kicks me off the ship. If I was captain, I would. At any rate, he's not going to be happy about this when he finds out." She gave Jana a weak smile. "But I'm glad we're still friends. And I'm sorry that I called you a passive-aggressive nerfherding nitpicker. I really didn't mean it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 "He doesn't need to know," Jana answered quickly. "And I'm sorry I called you a spoiled brat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "Well, I suppose that's partially true," Beryl admitted. "I have never wanted for anything. Not really. Well," she grinned, "not since I joined up with this crew." She winked. She looked at the dirtied blouse in her hands, and then shrugged as if it meant nothing to her. "But, if you're serious about keeping this from Nic, then I think we both should 'freshen up' a bit. We'll be landing soon. C'mon," she motioned Jana to follow her to her room. "Your room's a wreck. We'll use mine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "I'm sure it don't." Nic replied just before jack informed them they were dropping out of hyperspace. Nic looked around "come on, we best get to the common room." Nic began to climb up the ladder, as he reached the top Beryl walked past and stood next to Jana's doors. 'thats not a good idea.' Nic thought to himself knowing Jana would not be in the mood. Nic continued to the common room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XoRRoX Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "Coreilla" Oliver mumbled to himself in his room. He didn't like the name of the planet. Rather stupid of him, actually. He was a man with many rejudices. But he realised, that he did must talk to Beryl about the Juma juice. He walked to Beryl's room, but there wasen't any there. "Well - maybe she is in the common room?" he mumbled, and walked to the common room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtreamJedi12 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Cloud was walking to the common room when Nic passed by him. "Nic, I have some bad news." Cloud started. "He is near." (He is Sephiroth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 ((OCC- Me and Extreme have come to the conclusion that inorder for his Bio and timeline to work His Love, Aerith Gainsborough, must have been on the crew. So Oliver, Nic and Jana would've known her, The rest wouldn't have.)) Nic was organising his thought on his plan of action for Corellia when he was walking pass Cloud. "Nic, I have some bad news." Cloud started. "He is near." Nic knew precisly who he was, Nic and cloud had talked about it a couple of times. This was one of the reasons Nic used to persuade Cloud to return after he left, Nic would let Cloud get his revenge If their travels led to him. "Cloud are you sure about this? You know it won't bring her back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasraLantill Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "You know, I fink I could've made a fair hairstyrist," Beryl said, securing a pin in Jana's hair as she held the rest of them inbetween clenched teeth. After changing clothes and covering up any bruises with makeup, Beryl had helped Jana comb out all the tangles that had formed during their scuffle. But seeing as how they were going to meet her brother in a few minutes, Beryl convinced Jana to allow her to put her hair up. It looked more sophisticated and 'first-officery' that way, she had told her. "You'll like my brother," she said to Jana while she worked. "He's pretty sharp. Has to be to run a successful business under the Empire. He knows all the ins and outs. He got injured in the Clone Wars, so he came home and really frew himself into his work." She took the last pin from her mouth. "His wife's a real shutta though. Talk about spoiled brat!" She rolled her eyes as she secured the last pin. "Wouldn't trust her half as far as I could throw her. But maybe we'll be lucky and not have to see her." She pulled a few curly strands loose and arranged them for effect. "There. Can hardly even tell you were in a fight." With a comb still in her hand, Beryl stood back and evaluated the job she had done with Jana's hair. "I like it. It's different, but I like it. Draws more attention to your eyes. But what do you think?" She handed Jana a mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 "Sounds like your brother could teach us a few things about being subtle around the Empire," Jana chuckled. She took the mirror and stared into it for a few seconds and nodded slowly. "Maybe I should start wearing it this way more often." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 "We all need a little peace in our lives, After we land you can do what need to.

XoRRoX Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 When Oliver heard the message, who runned to his normal chair in the common room. He took a new (and big) juma juice bottle from one of the shelves, and maked drinks to them all. Actually big drinks. "I have the drinks ready! Hurry up!"

Writer Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Jana angled the mirror so she could see Beryl. "Oh... sit." When Beryl sat, Jana worked to smooth out the few spots that had been pulled and then pulled it back in a ponytail. "Given more time, I'd play a bit more with style," Jana told her. "But we're already a little late. Come on." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Jack leaned in the doorway that conected the common room and the cockpit. He thought it would be best incase something happened and he needed to get to the piolt seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Beryl was glad that she and Jana had had a 'girly' moment together. And even though it had taken them blows to get there, Beryl felt a lot closer to her now. Of course, she knew there would still be 'looks' given. She followed Jana through to the common room. She was excited at the prospect of seeing her brother again. It had been a few years since she had last been home, and she wanted to do some catching up in the little time they were going to be here. She felt slightly uncomfortable at the prospect of Nic finding out about her 'argument' with Jana, so she took the seat closest to the door--just in case she had to make a quick exit.

stingerhs Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Ryshana breathed in deep for a moment and closed her eyes. As she slowly exhaled, she once again cleared her mind. It was an old Jedi technique that she had learned a long time ago as a youngling back at the Jedi Temple in her studies. Interestingly, she didn't feel the same heaviness she had been feeling for quite some time. Perhaps it was just Riebe as she had thought. Still, the uneasiness she had felt hadn't left, and it made Ryshana a bit uncomfortable. Heading up towards the common area, Ryshana sudddenly remembered that she had forgotten her outer cloak. Smiling for a second, she decided to get it back later. Entering the common room, she went to the cabinets and grabbed a small flask. Filling it up with water, she sat down at the table.

ExtreamJedi12 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cloud went inside. He sat down on a chair near Jana and Impe. He looked at his drink of Juma Juice then at his photo of Sephiroth. He took some paper, wrote down something, split it in two, and passed it to Jana and Impe. They both said the same thing: He is near. Trash this as soon as you're done reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Jana read the slip of paper Cloud had passed her and glanced sharply at him. She balled the note up in her fist and shook her head as if to warn him against foolishness. She knew he'd insist on going after Sephiroth and could only hope Nic knew what was going on and would keep an eye on Cloud so they wouldn't loose him as they had Aerith. "Sorry Beryl and I are a little late," she said, turning to the captain as if nothing had happened. She gestured to her hair. "Girly stuff... Beryl talked me into trying something new." She grinned at Beryl and shrugged as if to say, "Can't interrupt stuff like that..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 "Great my first officers all doled up, it may help you with what needs to be done." Nic said turning so he could see most of the crew. "o.k heres our plan, First off we have a Bay full of top of the range swoops and no buyers. So i need Beryl and Jana to find some,We want top price for them so check out the swoop tracks what we can't sell there we'll get Phychos brother to take them off our hands. Meanwhile I'm going to get us some fake IDs, with all the imperial interest we've been having lately we'll need them, Ryshana you'll need to accompany with this one." He looks at Cloud for a few seconds then turns to Jack. "I want to see you and Impe in the cockpit before we land." Nic turns back to the group. "Thats all we want to make this quick, the empire ain't stupid and it won't take them long to work out where we are." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Ryshana took another sip, but that wasn't what she was concentrating on. First, it was the papers that Cloud had distributed and the fact that she didn't get one. Whenever Jana stole a look at the paper she recieved, Ryshana felt a wave of emotion from her. It wasn't very intense, but she did catch the glare she gave Cloud. After Nic told the group what was going on, she could sense something else going on. But everyone has their secrets. Even I have a few of my own... Downing the rest of her flask, she got up to refill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trash this as soon as you're done reading this. Oliver read the massage in a great hurry, but didn't look like someone, who was in a shock. He could remember the terrible story, and he felt with sorry for Cloud. Oliver took drinked his juma juice glass in one hit, and looked rather surprised on the others. Why didn't they want to drink? I want to see you and Impe in the cockpit before we land Oliver gave Nic a smile, but he did thougt, taht the meeting was going to about himself. Oliver had a suspicion, that Nic maybe didn't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Beryl was curious as to why Cloud had passed a note to Oliver and Jana, but didn’t want to speculate why. Mostly because her feeling that something was ‘wrong’ was getting that little bit stronger, but also because she was the newest member of the crew and that there were things that had happened before her arrival that she felt she had no business knowing. She cast a quick glance at Ryshana. Well, she wasn't the newest crewmember now, of course. But unlike Ryshana, Beryl knew that she had ‘replaced’ someone. It wasn’t that long ago that she couldn’t remember the curious looks from the others when Nic had brought her on board for the first time, nor the feeling that someone else had recently occupied the room that was now hers. She had never asked anyone about the person she had replaced. Somehow, it just never seemed appropriate. Nic gave his briefing, and at the mention of swoops, Beryl grinned. “So, if Jana and I are selling the swoops,” she said to Nic, “that means we’ll probably have to give a demonstration…or two, right?” She grinned devilishly. “I think we can handle that.” She rose to go to the hanger bay, but then paused, and jogged over to the cockpit door where Jack was. “Almost forgot. Just so you know, the docking control at my brother’s hanger will be referring to us as the ‘Preevay’ when they guide us in, not whatever ident we’ve got going now. They do the same thing when they resupply blockade runners. Should give us plenty of time to load and unload without drawing any undue suspicion.” She headed off to the hanger bay. She needed to decide which one was the best to ride for ‘demonstration purposes.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Jack nodded and walked to the cockpit where the captain was waiting for him and Impe. I dought I'm not going like what the captain wants me to do, or he would of told us in the common room "Captain. What's so important you couldn't tell us in the common room?"
