Just the way Clem says "oh gee" makes me giggle. :lol:

It didn't take long before the door was opened.

Hokey religions and ancient rituals could get bent - this was something she could make sense of.


Yeah! Get bent mystical energy field created by all living things that surrounds and penetrates us and binds the galaxy together! You don't control my destiny!

Goes nicely with Cal's addition in the previous post.

Hurray! Demon-Giles is a big damn hero!

Temra Zol wrote:As shocked as he was at the sudden disappearance of the trolls, talk of the Pantoran, put Temra in mind of the only Pantoran he'd met recently, little Mirri. His thoughts then swirled to all the innocents on the planet, and the death and disruption he assumed this cataclysm would lead to. He could not allow that, he had to try something.

He wasn't sure how he did it, and if asked he couldn't say, seeming to be one of those heat of the moment situations. He assumed it was a counterbalance of light to the darkness that began it, but Temra waded forth toward the source of the green energy chanting some words that seemed to have been locked away in the back corners of his mind from his time with Shazziq, almost as if his mentor had prepared him for this very moment in Noventa's history.

Thank you! :lol:

If there's a constant in the universe, it's that pairs of stormtroopers on patrol will be talking about speeder models.

Ender wrote:The door was locked, as expected. Listening for a moment, one could hear the shuffle of feat. The idle chatter.

"I hear they replaced the S-37s..."

"... About time, the S-36 had so many problems..."

The voices were muffled, speaking through the comms of a helmet, an effect very familiar to you.

This thread here has some good interplay between Fey and Quinn. I especially liked this bit:

Quinn Largo wrote:Oh boy. Now Quinn *really* understood how her master must've felt when first teaching her.

"It's like how a coin has two sides. Only in this case there's more to it. The force is split between dark and light. The lightside is peace, and serenity. It's everything you think of when you think of the Jedi. The dark side is the opposite of that. It is powerful, but it is fueled by all of the negative emotions you may have. Anger. Fear. Hatred. The more you draw on these emotions, the stronger your connection to the dark side of the Force. And that changes you in turn. Twists you. That's something everyone with a powerful connection to the force has to be aware of."

CLL-MT9 wrote:The funny thing was, Clementine had actually come in to buy Sleeppack. Hin’biki seemed to only rest when he fell over, and Clementine had heard it mentioned in passing by a customer at the bar as something that helped organics get some rest. The exact phrase had been something like “you give 'em a dose of the stuff and they'll take a nice, long nap, heh heh heh.”

That sounded like exactly what Hin’biki needed.

The being behind the counter had looked nonplussed when Clementine came in. Clementine was worried. He had even called ahead, using his inbuilt commlink to ask if they had any Sleeppack in stock, and then asked if they had it ready for him. He relaxed when he started to get led to the back room. He waited patiently as he was left there, not noticing the harshly whispered conversation behind the door.

“We have very clear instructions!”

“Well, what am I supposed to do? Dose the ‘droid?”


Eventually a dangerous looking sapient came in and told him gruffly that if he wanted in on the big score, he’d have to let them cover his photoreceptor on his way to the meeting. Some mutually confusing back-and-forth later (“But what about my Sleeppack?”), and Clementine was on his way.

The lights come in to a blank room, with a man with a robe and a darkness field surrounding him sitting patiently for your awakening (or bag remove). "I want the best for the job; prove to me that you are what I seek."


“Oh, okay, Master Mind.”

Lifting and shouting are two of Clementine’s specialties. It’s hard to tell under the shadowcloak, but as he lumbers menacingly across the room, he thinks he detects them flinch. Win or lose, a good lifting-and-looming is its own reward. He’s humming staticfully to himself as he awaits the results of the interview, at peace with himself and the world.

"Know much about them? The Jetti or whatever they were called?"


Oh god, he took the nickname.

Following up from this scene, even Demona reacting to Quinn's outburst of being a Jedi.

Behind him, Demona briefly flickered into appearance, also staring blankly at Quinn. A few moments later, she flickered out again.

Kai muttered as he brought up his fists. The uppercut was textbook, and it seemed like the fellow didn't see i coming. I mean who really expects someone to punch you when they're carrying a vibroblade at their side.

"Don't get up." He muttered as the man fell to the ground.

10 strain damage from unarmed strike. 2 Advantage to trigger knockdown, triumph to make him surrender.



After all the Orokos-hate, that roll was immensely satisfying.

Fey might've swooned a little.

Hin'biki wrote:"The republic never did anything for me," he said bitterly. "My master just kept moving deeper and deeper into Imperial space and the Republic never came. I waited, and waited, hoping....but the rebellion was just a fairy tale to us."


Hin'biki threads always make me tear up a little. Does anyone else just want to hug him and tell him it'll be okay?

His mouth finally closed. He moved behind the bar, shaking his head, and fetching out a bottle. "Does anyone else need a drink? I know it's early, but..." He shook his head as he poured bourbon.


Korvalus Dunbri wrote:At that kor' s eyebrows shot up a bit "that inquisitor is your mother?" There was a long pause and he looked at Cal "yeah, I'll take a drink."


The whole of that thread, to be honest.

Feels like the point in the movie where the band of scrappy misfits Becomes A Team. :D

Quinn Largo wrote:"I'm a Jedi!" Quinn shouted as she stood up suddenly, likely surprising and stunning people into a moment of confused silence.

"I mean..." She looked around, realizing that blurting such things out suddenly wasn't really the best way of joining the conversation. "...I mean, in training. Kind of. Look, what I'm saying is we *can* trust each other. We *should* trust each other. And I haven't been doing that with some of you. And then you guys don't trust me, and then people want to leave because it's safer that way. And then the bad guys win because good guys aren't teaming up to stop them and stuff!"

She paused for a moment, hoping people weren't about to burst out laughing.

"So, I'm a Jedi. And uh, a mobster's daughter. And I cheated like 2000 credits off of Ribmat when playing Sabaac."

Really impressive post from Runi about the nature of friendship and trust:

Runi Vizsla wrote:"We don't with most people," she pointed out. "Ultimately, you can't really trust anyone. You aren't any less trustworthy than most people. Any trust is ultimately about taking a leap of faith and hoping you don't end up on the ground in a heap of broken bones."

"Being friends is accepting what the consequences might be for being around someone." She sighed. "There's plenty of risk for those who are attached to me it turns out. People will make their own decisions about that. If they think you're worth the risk... That part's their decision."

"But whether you're willing to take that risk, of something happening to them is your decision, too. So... However you feel you need to do. It must be lonely, though."

CLL-MT9 wrote:Clementine took longer to process the message than Hin, but not much longer than the rest of the crowd. The Codpiece's other employees and patrons were a kaleidoscope of reactions, admittedly mostly in shades of confused and upset. There is a moment after a large crowd receives a shock where it might get ugly -- panic, randomly or purposefully directed violence, looting -- that someone like Kaneesa might know how to smooth over.

Clementine just increases the gain on his speaker until it fills the bar.

"HEY." A few heads turned."HEY, EVERYBODY." The bar did not exactly become quiet, but nothing was loud enough to be louder than Clementine.

"THE IMPERIALS AREN'T HERE. I AM. IF YOU WANT TO DRINK, STAY HERE. IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE, TAKE IT OUTSIDE." He paused. "YEAH, OKAY, THAT'S IT."

And with that, assuming there was no immediate demand for violence, he went to follow Hin. Either a friend needed some help, or an erstwhile employee needed to be brought in to line.

Clem is a helpful guy. Droid. Whatever.

CLL-MT9 wrote:Clementine stepped in to support the swaying guard as Kaneesa stepped away to confer with Cefey. It was really more like offering a railing to lean on, but if the man starts to slide Clementine puts out the fine manipulators to grab him. It may resemble a little too much the collar-and-belt hold used by bouncers across the galaxy to give erstwhile patrons the old heave-ho, but it will keep him vertical.
