No problem, I get that way myself from pain meds sometimes so I know how it can be. :)

The Jaeger Program Rebooted (3 Spots Open - Apply Now!)

Jack 'Bruiser' Murdock - Floor 4 - LOCCENT Mission Control
Unnamed Female Technician

~Ranger Murdock, Ranger Murdock to Mission Control, incoming signal from the UK~

Bruiser almost jumped as he heard his name called over the tannoy and quickly moved his waiting hand, giving Arkwright a slap on the shoulder as he quickly pushed passed him in the crowded corridor. "Whoa, sorry mate, gotta go," He said with a smile, knowing he the call would be from.

As he stepped into the operations centre one of the techs spotted Bruiser and waved him over to a console in the corner. "You know they shouldn't even have this frequency..." She said with a weary smile as Bruiser pulled a set of headphones up onto his ears.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. They get worried though and it helps me knowing they're safe." Bruiser replied bashfully, lowering his head and looking up at the woman with puppy dog eyes.

"In future just have them use the standard frequencies," The tech replied, scribbling the numbers down on a piece of paper and handing them to the pilot, "That way we can route the call straight to your quarters." Resting her hand on his shoulder for a moment the tech stepped away giving Bruiser a little privacy.

"Sure thing, and thanks." Bruiser said, turning to watch the kind lady walk away before leaning back over the console and pressing the button to link the feed. Immediately the screen was filled with three happy faces, one a man who looked like an older version of Bruiser accompanied by two small girls, both around the age of seven. "Hey there, Angels." Bruiser greeted them happily, "What time is it over there?"

"Just coming up on nine, and these little ladies wouldn't go to bed without saying night to their daddy first." The man said, patting the girls on their heads in unison. For the next few minutes Bruiser chatted with his family, getting updated on the news from home and getting shown pictures and bicycles and dinosaurs the girls had drawn in school.

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

Time to break out the Detattler-Fu!

...but I've seen enough to know that any game with more than four goals is more rare than finding a good place to leave your wallet in a saw blade factory

@SpookySquid

Damn sticky fingered saw blade factory workers!

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

"Aaahhhh interesting... Aaahhhh... you are clearly lying to me. I doubt any Zambian envoy would be trusted with this in their backpack... One of the eyes. I never thought I would see one in my life...Aaahhhh... Yes... From the Great Wizard of the Ring... Aaahhhh... You have two choices... Aaahhhh... either leave this instant without your backpack, or allow Craleeti to escort you outside without your backpack. In short, we can do this the easy way or the hard way."

@SpookySquid

"As I said, that object was meant to serve as my credentials for your brother. I am no mere envoy, only using that as a cover to gain entry to your country without raising any undue suspicion. My talents are many and varied, I am what you would call a 'fixer of problems', and right now your country seems to have many... problems." As he spoke Chuck held his respectful pose, bowed almost as low as Mateel's desk and keeping his face towards the floor. With his gaze lowered Chuck could see the floor clear behind him, the only feet other than his own the ones belonging to Craleeti.

"And as for my choices..." With a flick of his wrist Chuck sent his arm flying across the room, where it quickly wrapped itself around Craleeti's neck, the knife blade poised at the guard's throat. "I think perhaps you may have underestimated my resources."

Rising to his feet Chuck stepped towards Mateel his manner just as subservient and respectful as it had been before. "Perhaps you could also make use of them? I'm sure there's some little problem you could use my help in... fixing."

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

~| Day 1, 12:17 GST |~
~| The Tranquility Spire, Jedi Temple |~

Sitting crosslegged on the dias Som listened carefully to his inner thoughts, the echoes and dreams of his mind swimming inside his head. It had been at least two days since his Trials, but he'd yet to learn anything from his experiences and he still felt disconnected from his fellow Jedi, even though the Force seemed to ring through his body quite clearly. Is it really something wrong with me? He had begun to wonder, Or perhaps something wrong with them? Either way there was a darkness hanging over the Temple which he couldn't explain, something which made him want to leave.

As the door opened behind him Som felt his concentration waver. With a sigh he tilted his head to the side and simply said "Occupied," hoping whoever it was would take the hint and leave him be.

He heard the door close but now there was a presence in the room, a person moving quietly as if trying to hide themselves from him. After two days of silence however their every step, every breath and every heartbeat sounded out like a gong in the quiet chamber. Frowning Som began to wonder what the stranger wanted, a few weeks earlier he'd have guessed it was Xid playing a trick on him, but since his colleague had been promoted the two of them had had little time to spend together.

When the familiar snap hiss of a lightsaber activating filled the air Som's reflexes took over, launching him high into the air as his arm reached out summoning his dual-blade into his hand. The space he'd been in only a moment before was sliced through by a glowing blade, a glowing red blade.

So, this is what my foreboding was about, Som thought as he inspected his opponent carefully. The plain dark robes of a Sith apprentice as far as he could make out, one of low rank possibly. Som knew better than to risk finding out just how good of a fighter the assassin was, and he wondered how one of the followers of the Dark SIde he'd been warned about in training could've made it so far into the Temple without being detected.

As if to answer his question two more Sith stepped into the room, their lightsabers held unignited by their sides and manner suggesting they were to be spectators to the duel between the Padawan and their companion. Som knew then what the outcome of this battle would be and dropping to his knees he carefully placed his staff down in front of himself and bowed his head.

"I concede." He said, his voice clear and free of emotion while his mind roiled trying to understand what was happening.

So that explains what happened to Leliana when Varric passed her chamber door while she was being taught how to play the pink piccolo by Iron Bull.

The Broken Drum - Casual drop-in chat for out-of-work adventurers

@hiddenleafguy " Bartender we need another bottle oldest one you got "

As he watched the bottle crash into the wall on the far side of the tavern Geoff wondered whether the man really meant oldest or youngest, since he still had a few bottles of the minus two left. With a sigh the barman decided it was best not to try and explain cross-temporal pronouns with a man who'd just helped to empty a whole bottle of fog-apple extract and reached back for nineteen-year-old instead.

Holding the bottle carefully in both hands as he made his way over to the table, not trusting Hilda with such a rare vintage, Geoff found his mind wandering back to his days of rape and pillage. There's nothing like your first taste of a nineteen-year-old, he reminisced warmly, recalling the time he'd found a whole cellar stocked to the gills with fog-apple extract while sacking the city of Nuttigemadchen in the Hinterland Marshes.

With a wistful sigh he placed the bottle down in the middle of the three gents and held out his hand. "That'll be one ripe, juicy, full-bodied nineteen-year-old for your pleasures, Sirs. And 2 gold in exchange, if you please?"

@Bonjour xx

Fish tacos. Would you like some?

That did just remind me of a racist joke, but I'd rather not share it here. :)

Code of the Burned [FULL]

@Genni Are you sure, it looks purple to me?

So there's seven Foxes, Patch is over on the left and Owl is sitting above the guard on the chair?

Where the red dots are the guards, the orange is Fox, the green is Patch and the blue is Wise Owl.

The agents are all sitting on chairs, the female guard at the end of the room is sitting down and the male guard flirting with her is leaning back against the table.

@Genni

Seriously though, that's about right for what I was thinking, although I had the double doors behind Patch with him facing towards the shutters, but that doesn't really matter.

Nice touch with the 'pushed aside' tables. I'd have just left those out.:)

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

@Ellri You've been on the approved list a long time,@SimplyJohn. No idea where you're getting the idea of not approved from...

Because I'm stupid.

@Ellri on tranquility spire: no idea.

If I say it'll take... *plucking number from thin air* ...47 minutes, am I okay to make a post now and stamp it for 47 minutes, or would you prefer I wait for others to post chronologically first?
