They're gonna be kinda shocked when they realise he's not quite dead yet haha XD

Ohh I look forward to that :O cool, no rush here on my end!

Star Wars: Enclaves

Lmao I got a new job already. Granted I'm only back bartending, but should be fun as a filler until I can cop another management spot.

@DirtyDingo

Well, it's something at least like you say! hahaha

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Apologies for the delay in posting this one, started working on it and then had to deal with an emergency so didn't get to finish it for a few hours D: but hope you have a good weekend!

I wasn't sure how to represent/describe Renso reaching out to them so feel free to modify it if you need to in part of your next post before moving them on (: (figured they'd want to talk it over with the other Masters before they went prancing off through space trying to find some sign of him XD)

Also figured they would naturally assume that he was already dead and not realise that he was still (barely) alive and in the process of dying until perhaps they're a bit closer to finding them? OuO

Naturally, as he sat up and moved towards her she had to release her hold on his wrists and let him shift their position or risk ending up with uncomfortable muscle cramps in several different places. She huffed out a quiet breath as he broke the contact between their lips and moved along her neck, a soft shiver passing through her, a grumble of protest almost formed as even that contact stopped though her face flushed a light shade of pink as she seemed to catch on to what he was suggesting. Now wasn't the right time, she agreed.
“No, I’m sure your parents wouldn’t appreciate it, either.” she chuckled softly, falling quiet for a moment to consider the question he had posed to her. The suggestion caught her off guard somewhat, she hadn’t given it much thought recently (the thought had flitted through her mind on a few occasions while she had been out and about, sure, but she’d never stopped to REALLY think about it). So when he asked what she thought about it, she didn’t reply straight away, chewing her lip as she shifted to lie on her side next to him.
“Where would we go, though?” she regretted the question coming out the way it had as soon as she’d said it, noting the playfulness evaporating from his eyes and feeling his embarrassment prickling at the edges of her own mind. She tried to shush him quickly and rephrase it, but as Yerbol often did when he got nervous he began talking excessively.
“Yerb...shush...Bol...honey, stop!” she smirked back at him, finally succeeding in getting him to be quiet by placing her index finger gently over his lips. “Shh. I think it’s a good idea, I do. It’d be different, and exciting.” she smiled reassuringly, letting her head sink into the pillow on her side as well. Having their own living space would be a big step for them, that would give them a chance to take the advice Vol and Tabitha had been giving them over the past months and put it in to practise (as well as the freedom to consider such trains of thought without feeling self conscious); they had the ship of course but it certainly wasn't a good long-term living space. “I was just thinking well...we’ve got a lot of options about where to look, right? We could stay here on Taris or...go off world somewhere else nice.” her eyelids were drooping, exhaustion threatening to take over despite her eagerness to put her thoughts forward before sleeping. “S’long as it wasn’t a city planet...dogs would hate that.” the Tuk’ata could just be heard snoring outside their door, already fast asleep. She was starting to think that would be a good idea for them, too. “But we can think about that more later, when we’re not so tired…”
_____________________________

It had been so long since her sleep had been disturbed by anything remotely like a vision that she had almost mistaken it for a nightmare (something she ALSO hadn’t experienced in years). It had begun as a tangled mess of feelings, sharp crippling pain that seared at her chest, lungs tightening as she struggled for breath, stumbling in the dark to search frantically for something that MUST be reached before it is too late...the pain subsided, the dark tunnel opening out to reveal a glittering span of glaciers as far as the eye could see. Red eyes, cold red eyes framed by a face of sickly blue pallor bored into her skull, the bloodlust and hatred those eyes reflected was frightening enough to pull her out of the dream. As the images began to fade, a familiar voice spoke, exhorting them to fulfill their destiny.
You are the only ones that can. Come and find me, before it’s too late...they are coming.

Before she could ask for clarification, Aria’s eyes flew open. It was still dark, her throat was dry and her head hurt. Shifting again, she fumbled to turn on a light as she felt Yerbol moving beside her. Turning to face him again, she found his eyes widened, a sheen of sweat coating his face. Brushing his dampened hair gently from his forehead, the question she croaked out was:
“You saw that too, right?” But what she had MEANT to ask was: “What do we do now?”.

Aria cleared her throat as she half sat up, her own cheeks clammy as she ran her hands over her face, groaning.
“It had to be Renso, but he seemed...fainter. Weaker.” the Sith Lord's presence had been so powerful the last time he had contacted them, but now all of that seemed to be slipping slowly away while Renso, wherever he was, desperately attempted to cling to his own existence long enough to reach out to Aria and Yerbol.

After the initial shock of the experience had worn off, they had spent an hour or so in quiet thought together, attempting to meditate and make sense of what they had seen. What had the vision meant? Who (or what) was this mysterious "they", and why was Renso afraid of them? Had they witnessed Renso's final moments before the ancient Sith Lord had passed and become a Force apparition? Either way, it had been clear enough what he had wanted. Find Renso...how would they do that? A tomb, perhaps, like those that had been on Korriban? There were too many questions that they couldn’t answer on their own. They needed help, from the other Masters. With that concluded, Yerbol placed a call to Voldon and Kira as the sun began to peek over the hills, while Aria scrambled to gather up their belongings and both wondered how they would explain their rush to return to Zinuthra to his parents. Ironically, Aria thought, their plans to look into taking the first step out as a couple on their own would have to be put aside for an entirely different adventure into the unknown, if the images in the vision had been anything to go by.

Sure I can make that a part of my next post! :D

Awww I love how nervous he gets about bringing it up, bless him! Naturally it's definitely something they would be wanting to consider since it would give them stability (and privacy hehe) like you said XD

Renso deserved to have an epic curtain call so good on him, and MAN this new lady sounds super kick butt, can't wait to see more of her later XD

<Snipped quote by The Elvenqueen>

I can imagine it would be pretty standard fare for smugglers haha.

I will have a post up lster on in the day. Currently out of the house looking for a new job. Had to quit the other day :/

@DirtyDingo

I figured somewhat but thought I'd double check just in case! No rush regarding posting, good luck with the job hunt! :D

Star Wars: Enclaves

It's not too far of a stretch for him to have a stealth field generator as a smuggler, right? XD
He'd just be going in to peek around and come back out to tell them it was all clear

If it is let me know and I can omit that part of the post ;)

Star Wars: Enclaves

Merak Shenly

---

Location: Dantooine, ruined Jedi enclave
Interacting With: @DirtyDingo's Alessia, @Delta44's Aether, NPC Mandalorian patrol

---

Giving Alessia a nod of affirmation, Merak rose from his crouched position as the two Jedi Padawans began channelling their Force energies. He would need to be ready to move, their element of surprise wouldn't last long and they would need to make the most of it. The stack of crates dropped, a chorus of surprised exclamations and curses leaving the Mandalorian troopers as the trio sprang from their hiding place to engage them. Three to fifteen, theoretically that left five Mandos to each of them, if they could play it out right, his mind already trying to work out some kind of strategy as he sidestepped to avoid a shot aimed at his chest, just in time for Alessia to go soaring over his head and her lightsaber to cut through the man who had just tried to shoot him. Merak ducked past his Jedi companion with a quick shout of thanks, lunging for the next nearest assailant as a small group converged down on the pair. He narrowly avoided a slash from the trooper’s own blade, ducking swiftly beneath the man's sword arm and bringing his knife up to protect his back as he made a quick half-turn to launch another attack. His opponent grunted and tried to turn to follow Merak’s movement but the heavy plating of his Beskar armour impeded his movements, allowing the smuggler an opening by which to slide the blade of his knife beneath the join at his neck and shoulder and drive it into the Mandalorian’s flesh. With a pained cry, the man lurched forward, dropping his weapon as he collapsed.
Blood roared in his ears as the Mirialan quickly leapt over the fallen body to intercept another of the gunmen before he could fire at Alessia or Aether to aid his own squad mates. His back was turned and he never saw Merak coming as the smuggler brought the butt of his weapon crashing onto the man's helmet, hoping he had put enough force into the blow to knock him unconscious. Realising they couldn't take the risk, he executed a similar maneuver to Alessia to snap the Mandalorian’s neck.

Looking around them, he would find both Padawans finishing off the last of their assailants. Merak slid his knife back into the sheath at his belt, striding across to join them again. He tapped a small device attached to his belt beside the weapon sheath and muttered. “I've got a stealth generator, I can go in first and scout it out a little, find the terminals and make sure there aren't any more ambushes inside waiting for us.”
There was a chance of their battle being loud enough for any Mandalorians potentially within the enclave building itself to hear them and prepare an ambush in retaliation. As far as he was concerned, he was more disposable than either Aether or Alessia, so if any of them were to risk being captured (or killed) in order to check, it should be him.

That's probably gonna come back to bite her later but hey, she can't complain that she didn't ask for it ;) XD

Awesome! :)

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Pillow fight, enough said XD

Left it open for you to add Renso in whenever you like, I'll follow your lead on that one haha
