[OOC] You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

[freedomliveson]

Haha! No, believe me, I remember him too :p

And much appreciated for the set up! Our new NPC will be introduced in the next post :)

Also, Elara was a medic for most of her Imperial/Republic/Havoc career, so she should be able to help patch up stuff(as you already alluded to) with minimal supplies until Zinuthra.

Post incoming in a few hours!

[The Elvenqueen]

Oh good haha xD

Thank Force for that, Elara haha and I look forward to it as always :P

[freedomliveson]

Feel free to get us back to Zinuthra :)

Edit: That's where we agreed they would regroup, right? Or am I nuts? xD

Edit edit: I imagine David Tennant as Junoco, so...there's a visual for you

[The Elvenqueen]

Bwahahahahahaha I like this guy already! (Totally imagining him as David Tennant from now on XD) and yep, think we did say Zinuthra hehe

I shall get them back over there then! :P

[The Elvenqueen]

Oh, also...was Junoco coming with them to Zinuthra or...? XD

[freedomliveson]

I would think so...right, yes, because they wouldn't know to go Coruscant just yet and I know that Elara would argue that it would be just be speedier to go to Zinuthra and wait for a sign of the Xiis(who will pop up on Coruscant anyhow)

[The Elvenqueen]

Figured so since Zinuthra was closer but wanted to double check :Point right then, sorry matey you drew the short straw there depending how you look at it XD

[freedomliveson]

Ha, yeah, Junoco is probably going to regret his decision a LOT xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Haha definitely going to be one of those "I didn't sign up for this" moments somewhere down the line for him, right? XD

Post achieved xP

[freedomliveson]

Aww, poor Ari! That reunion scene is going to be pretty fun to write :)

Post incoming later today, seeing as I'll be talking about Hamlet all day again(unless you want to do the lecture? xD)

[The Elvenqueen]

It is ahaha, she's not going to let him out of her sight for a while after this XD

Alas, I never studied Hamlet! D: If it had been Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet I might have managed! XD No worries, as always take your time! :P

[freedomliveson]

It's strange writing Yerbol this helpless xD

Feel free to have them all meditate/figure out Coruscant is the place. I can get us there :)

[The Elvenqueen]

Aaaahhh poor baby ;w; *wraps Yerbol in a blanket* Ari's coming for you, don't worry! And when she gets there she's gonna kick some butt xD

I also totally didn't realise the connection between Ari's nickname and their word for "Lord" (I think it was? hehe), that was totally unintentional I swear :P

Awesome, I shall get them meditating then! ;)

[The Elvenqueen]

Apologies if the end conclusion seems hasty or rushed haha but I guess it kinda fits since they're all a bit frantic and panicky right now haha let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything a little more or take anything out as always XD

[freedomliveson]

You're good! :)

Mine ended a bit abruptly as well, so there's that xD

[The Elvenqueen]

Aaaaahhhh Illesia, you are BAD news aren't you? O_O (also, Ari is gonna kick your butt into oblivion for what you've probably done to Bol D:)

If I don't manage to get a post out to you later tonight it shall be tomorrow :P not sure how quick I shall get it done between other jobs haha

[The Elvenqueen]

Might be a slightly shorter one cause I didn't want to jump TOO far ahead before we'd properly talked through some progression haha

So, Ari kinda voiced some possible thoughts I had in that post herself with regards to exactly HOW they're going to deal with the Xiis, but feel free to have Voldon propose an alternate idea/solution if you or he can come up with one :)

And a couple other thoughts/questions I had regarding where we're going with it currently:
-Would they successfully rescue Yerbol in the next few posts, or would Illesia somehow be able to tell they were coming and relocate him again?
-If they WERE to get down near where he is, what would happen with Illesia and her Xiis minions? Would they kill or otherwise subdue/neutralise them then and there or would Illesia or some other Xiis manage to slip away to keep causing trouble for a while? (Seems kind of a shame to get rid of her so quickly, she seems like a really awesome villain? XD)

[freedomliveson]

oh believe me, he'll agree. He was a Battlemaster after all. He's always going to be more inclined to take the "carve our enemies asunder" approach.

THANK YOU for taking care of Junoco! I forgot to bring him up in my post, which I will rectify very soon. I don't know if he really fits in this story arc, so if I feel like I'm forcing him in, I'll wait until the next arc before bringing him around. Let me know if you want me to bring him back sooner and I'll try to squeeze him in :)

RIGHT. Good points, all.

-I'm torn about this myself, but I think I'm leaning more towards them finding Yerbol. It would be a good way to introduce her powers, which are...well, you'll see in my next post.

-Their base would be empty because of the following chain of events I'd love to have your input on:

1. They find a deserted makeshift hideaway with a very drained Yerbol.
2. They pull him out to the undercity streets just as several explosions go off at certain power junctures, basically leaving certain sections of Coruscant without power, including the newly appointed Alliance HQ(better name to follow between our minds? I'm thinking of the former Senate tower)
3. Assuming the worst, the trio head back, but not before having to eliminate a collection of thugs who Illesia recruited as way of slowing down the Force users
4. Managing to get to the upper city, they find the place in total disarray with Xiis and hired thugs fighting against Alliance troopers. Forging their way ahead to the Senate tower, they find the bodies of several Alliance senators at the entrance with a message inviting the Force users up to the top of the tower.
5. They get to the top of the tower and confront Illesia, who has Saresh gravely injured. They clash, the trio proving to be a formidable enough force for Illesia to leap out of the tower, cackling a "find me!" (or something like that)
6. Alliance Troopers send in reports to HQ that report major resistance from bands of armed thugs that Illesia put in charge of the decimated Nar Shaddaa("loot all you want, just kill anyone you see on sight that's not one of our people.")
7. Yerbol, assuming that Illesia is sticking with her plan of destabilization, claims that Dromund Kaas, another major Alliance stronghold, will be the next target due to how important the planet is to Alliance politics.
8. Not wanting to take chances, Dromund Kaas is mobilized along with a strike team including Aria and Yerbol
9. Illesia and the surviving Xiis seek to take down Dromund Kaas' infrastructure, all the while looking for any stasis pods on the planet with their brethren inside

What do you think? Additions? Suggestions? Comments?

[The Elvenqueen]

Had to come up with a way that they'd get hold of a map so they'd know which way to go and that seemed like as good a solution as any. Didn't want to bunny him too much hence his abrupt-ish poof XD but awesome, we shall see how it goes then no? Depending where we go and how appropriate they are I might scoot in another NPC as well, but don't want to do it just for the sake of having a new character y'know? XD

Ooohh man, I'm kinda scared to find out about her powers now, yet intruigued at the same time! :'( *prepares nerves for the worst* XD

This all sounds really good! And I like the idea of them using the former Senate Tower as their HQ, as for a new name for it uuhhh...I'll have to have a think on that XD
Dromund Kaas is a sensible target for them definitely, and probably likely to contain a couple stasis pods anyways since it was basically the Empire's capital in its hayday :P awesome, let's get our Yerbol back! ;w; xD

[freedomliveson]

Oh I get it, for sure. I think it's a testament to how much world building we've done that there are SO MANY other characters that we want to bring to life/explore/introduce :)

Indeed to getting him back! Post incoming today!
