Topic: The Day They Woke Up on the Wrong Side of Reality
Subject: There's Light, which pierces the Darkness


Beyond the two heads in the way, Galen sees further adversaries. This time, he wouldn't let people get in the way. Steeling himself, Galen proceeds to drop his book, then rush forward. Running past Ian and Ben, Galen goes into the room, stepping to the left so as to give Ben a free way.

Galen's aura flickers like a flame caught in a gentle breeze, and bits of the aura begin to fall and flow around him. These are shaped like flower petals, cherry blossom petals to be exact. Galen holds forth his vacant hand, and the petals land within its cupped shape. His aura has now vanished, now all its remaining essence held in his hand. Raising it to his lips, Galen blows gently, sending the petals streaming forward towards the closest skeleton as though they were caught in a hurricane wind.

Ninkanna opens her eyes, feeling very refreshed. Just in time too, for she gets to see the sun dipping over the horizon.

It's so pretty. She thinks.

Well, it was about time to go, and with any luck, Master Arkanna would just be there at the arranged time. If she wasn't... well, Ninkanna will consider that if that's the case.

Ninkanna exits her starfighter's cockpit, pats the astromech droid fondly, and goes to find Si-Di before wandering over to the designated destination; it would do no good if they mistook Ninkanna as the negotiations Jedi!

Subject: Truth


"How can it exist?" Galen murmurs, and closes his eyes.

"Because it can. That's all there is to it." Galen murmurs, "The rules of this world and the rules of the world we come from are different, here there is so much more that is possible, or perhaps it is just more accessable."

"What is possible and what isn't possible is not something that can be defined. People can try to define it, giving it rules and noting patterns in an otherwise spontaneous world, but this is just one of the many systems within reality. There is what is referred to as the natural, and there is the supernatural. They are called different things, but they are the same thing, part of the same whole, reality."

"You cannot say what is and isn't possible, until you try, and even then, some things are still possible, they just need a different way."

Galen looks over at Jeremy, "I have thought quite a bit about the natural and supernatural, even though I have taken science subjects in school. To me, it's just obvious they follow different systems, undefinable by the other. However, this doesn't matter at this time. Right now, we should concentrate on just getting somewhere safer."

Topic: Welcome or Not!
Subject: Peeking in the Window


There was rain, but the little girl didn't mind at all. Even as the stranger hides from the droplets of water, the girl dashes around, catching raindrop after raindrop, and letting them fall, never staying in one place for very long. She is still young for a sylph, and so often times she is easily entranced by the world around her.

The rain lets up, and the girl waves the sad clouds goodbye. Oh, what is this? The stranger is back on the move. That's interesting, the girl thought he'd be resting since it is late.

Eventually the stranger comes up to a seemingly deserted mansion. I wonder if this is his destination. The girl wonders, flying around the mansion for a better look. Eventually, the stranger enters, and is lost from her view. The girl sits on the rooftop patiently, her light form hardly disturbing even the old wood.

A few moments pass, and her curiousity perks up. What is going on inside? She just has to find out. She flies off the rooftop, and flies around the mansion, finding a window that looks in with the stranger, to find another stranger too. Oooh, this is getting mysterious. The girl hovers just outside the window, watching intently.

Topic: Star Wars Trivia...Useless and Otherwise
Subject: The Force is even with Jar-Jar


The answer to my question is the battle on Naboo with the Gungans and the droid army. The droidekas there didn't bother to turn on their shields because they didn't seem to be necessary. The scene in particular I was referring to is that one where Jar-Jar gets himself caught on the wiring of a half-a-battle-droid and ends up shooting two other battle droids and a droideka with it.

Q: What is the number of the serving droid in the Trade Federation ship? (Episode 1)

In order of interest to me, (from highest to lowest) I like:

1st - I can't decide between Subway and Five Seconds to Save the World
2nd - The Lost and Profound
3rd - Castle Rautenberg

I already have the seeds of a character in mind for the number 1 ones... I just have to decide between Surfer and Sparker for the Five Seconds to Save the World

EDIT: Alright, I decided on a Spark, and with that, the two seeds are ready to be sewn

Aqinarr City
Soldier's Barracks
Three and Three Quarter Hours before Twilight


"This must have cost you a fortune," Willow uttered after a pause, "you shouldn't have gone to the tr-"

Yin's face turns even redder, "No, really, I felt I had to, I mean maybe to make up for all these times I've kind of barged in and challenged you..."

Again, Yin's voice trails off.

Willow reaches over to the packaged ring, but a glint of metal stalls her for a moment. There, on the floor by the bed, is the ring. Not the one she had sent herself, but the one that was lost. How long it has been there is uncertain, and its cool temperature indicates that it just hasn't been handled recently.

It is almost as if it had just fallen there, misplaced...

"Thank-you."

Yin's face is now quite red, and his eyes are averted. "Oh, really, it's not that much..."

"But I didn't get anything for you," she said.

Yin looks back, "Oh, you don't need to get anything for me..."

Then she promptly stood up and wrapped her arms around the shorter Yin in a friendly thank-you hug. "Don't move, I'll be 10 minutes at the most."

"Umm... OK." Yin stammers.

The marketing district... quite a busy place compared to even the docks, and Willow can't help but feel quite crowded from the immense number of people still here. She can hardly step anywhere without having to push through or otherwise ask for people to try to move out of the way. A select few merchants are beginning to pack up here and there, but the majority are just glowing with the anticipated revenue of another evening rush. This is hardly anything compared to the immense market in Wanqir, Willow knows, but it is still far too crowded. It is so crowded, she can barely see exactly what the wares are that merchants are displaying. Finally pushing through to be close enough to one vendor set up along an inconspicuous alleyway, Willow can easily consider herself quite lucky. He is an elderly man with his elegant and old cart carefully set out of the general populace's way. The cart looks like a foreign food-selling booth, with even a small roof to cover the man and any customers. It looks easily as old as the man is, if not older, with paint wearing off, and the wood underneath looking slightly worn. There is only one other customer there, a little girl who has to stand on her tip toes in order to see the merchandise. The man, old enough to be a grandfather, has a beard and spectacles, as well as relatively formal clothes, and looks upon his young customer with a sort of caring look in his old and weary eyes. His hands, as he shows the little girl various things, appear old, yet strong, and not frail. The girl is dressed in a full length dress with a floral pattern, and she has short black hair and golden eyes.

The elderly man is displaying a selection of antiquities, mainly in the form of bracelets. There is also a wooden box being sold as well that is rather wide compared to the rest of the merchandise, although what is in it cannot be seen because it is closed. It is easily wide enough to hold a bracelet, but it is rectangular, and thinner than most of the braclets there, so doesn't seem to hold a bracelet. One bracelet in particular stands out to Willow. It is slightly plain, with a silver toned appearance, but inscribed on it is an elegant symbol, almost a coat of arms. It has a longsword in the back, with a round shield in front, and upon the shield is depicted a roaring lion. The bracelet is displayed with this engraving up, so Willow cannot see from this angle what is on the back.

Subject: I don't think so


I believe the droidekas there maintained their shield generators (because the Jedi could deflect their bolts, so they'd have to)

I'm thinking of one notable scene in particular... it is quite obvious actually, or at the very least, it's not obscure.

Answer: They were moisture farmers, so they would have farmed water, and I believe it was from the air.

Question: What is the starfighter series that were made to directly combat rogue TIE Defenders?

EDIT: Oh, that might be a bit too obscure, since it's from the TIE Fighter game, not the movies... anyway... here's this one instead: In which battle are Droidekas seen without their shield generators on? (there might be more than one, but I know one for sure)

Subject: Under Attack?


Linnix feels terrible. Of course, most of it is from the morning, but added on top of that is the guilt for driving Tock so hard just to keep up with the others. Maybe she should've left the cart behind and traveled light...

It is time to set up camp. Even Linnix's limbs are tired, and she was sitting in a cart! Time to sleep... and hope I don't blow tomorrow like I did today. Linnix solemnly thinks as she sets up her own tent and quietly takes a small portion of dinner. Afterwards, Linnix contemplates her surviving candle-orbs.

The howls at first are slightly unheeded by Linnix. It's just a pack of wolves out for their hunt... they shouldn't heed us at all. She thinks.

However, when the howls get closer, Linnix begins to wonder.

“Stay close to the fire!,” Aelistae shouted to the others. “The fire and our presence should scare them, unless… Stay close to the fire, and do not let the creatures bite you if you can help it!”

Linnix looks up, startled, "What's wrong? Why would they attack us?"

Her slowed mind barely registers the implication, and then suddenly it hits her. Werewolves?!

Linnix quickly puts the two orbs down, and grabs her crossbow and bolts. Looking into the darkness, Linnix sighs, I can barely see anything... I wish I could see in the dark... Her hands tremble slightly, and she slowly steadies them. She had to do her best, but what if it isn't enough?

"Tenarr ... Would You Be Able to Create a Sheath for this Death Scythe ... That Would Allow Me To Transport This Weapon ... Without Cutting My Hands?"

Tenarr just takes one glance before he shakes his head. "As far as I know, the only way that scythe can be transported is on the back in a sling like how Xira always carried it. I tried making a case for it once... as soon as I put it on the scythe, the scythe's black aura blew it apart! Not to mention I've tried getting Xira to wear gauntlets, just to prevent further damage to her hands, and the scythe's aura totally destroyed those too!"

Tenarr shivers, "It is such a nasty piece of work... whoever made this definitely knew how to make something formidable... no one in their right mind would make such a thing; it hurts the wielder almost to the same degree as the one it is wielded against!"

Tenarr gingerly takes the scythe and puts it on a weapon stand, its black aura flickering for just a moment as it is put down.

((Manalagna Hammer is now at Checkpoint 1 - further RP and posting is optional, and if there's nothing posted, I'll just fastforward to Twilight))

"So ... Does the Original Owner ... Have a Name ... or ... a Description ... So I Will Recognize Her ... Should Our Paths ... Ever Cross?"

Xira smiles, although there is no emotion in the smile, "If you know me, you will recognize her. We almost look alike."

Xira's eyes flicker sleepily, "My body is weary. I should let it rest."

With that, Xira's eyes close.

((Should Manalagna wish to stay at the arena and sleep, his quarters are provided on the northern end))

Subject: In truth...


I have two really. The original one I uploaded is the Female Silhouette picture, and my current one is a Sylph.

Why a silhouette? Because I was being somewhat mysterious... ^_^

Why a sylph? They're my favourite characters! Not because they can become invisible, but because they can fly and have innate magic! I love to fly...

Unfortunately, because of the whole invisible at will aspect of the sylph's statistics, I never get to play one at all
