Hmmm... now where have I seen this before? The magic jedi-disappearing act--?With the sole exception of the jedi Lo Ban Kenobi of Tatooine, who was suddenly right there beside me, belting his lightsaber after gallantly offering to give chase for me. I blinked, my jaw dropping a little bit in sheer disbelief of the rapidity in which something bordering comedy had stepped in to lighten the load I was carrying... and to find, much to my surprise, that the load was indeed very much lightened from its former burdensome weight. I looked up into intensely blue eyes. Damn. Blue. Always they're blue.... "Yeah, I think maybe I'd like to go back to my room again, Lo Ban," I said quietly. "Then maybe you might tell me what-- what you know about Darra." [ 03-02-2003 02:32 AM: Message edited 1 time, lastly by Galen ] -------------------- "Sure as there is Treasure on Roon...."

Lo Ban took it upon himself to hold the door open, he awaited Galen to exit the pool area...She did, as he followed right behind... The streets were crowded... Lo Ban took it upon himself, yet again, to cup his arm around Galen's... so not to lose one another... once they got back around the hotel, and off the street, they had time to talk... "I am quite positive your daughter is alive..." He started with... "I've not only heard it by my very ears, but have sensed so..." They came upon the hotel entrance... Lo Ban understood he would have to go into further detail, he thought as well to wait until they got back into her room... He let his words soak in, as they entered the turbolift... Hopefully the Jawa and his annoying friend have lost themselves... -------------------- In the absence of light, darkness prevails

Darra... alive.ALIVE. I little thrill set up somewhere behind my heart, setting it suddenly beating more loudly, thumping there in my chest as hope rekindled and flared within me. Hope I never knew I'd feel again. Hope I prayed was not false, and would be justified once we got to Kamino.... I stopped at that, pausing to examine it. We. I had said, "we." I cast a quick look up at Lo Ban, who was facing forward, staring at the doors of the lift. He sensed her to be alive... just as he now sensed me looking at him. He turned his head, smilied quietly at me, giving me a look that said he would indeed show me, prove to me that his words were true, that indeed we were going together to Kamino, weren't we? Indeed. For I suddenly realized I had never stopped to even remotely consider the idea of going to Kamino alone. It just wasn't an option, and that's all there was to it. I smiled up at him in turn, and just waited there beside him for the lift to come to a halt, that we could go back to my room and plan exactly what we would do once we got to the planet of the cloners. -------------------- "Sure as there is Treasure on Roon...."

The doors to the lift opened, as Lo Ban secured the hallway before Galen had a chance to get off...The hallway was clear, as Galen exited the lift... The two strode to Galen's room, to find no one within it... But, this was not the case... for the stranger and the Jawa were nowhere to be found, there was something in the bathroom... Galen's hotel bathroom... Malf had just finished drying himself with something fashioned as a hair drying unit... When, over his hot hair smell, he caught wind of a familiar scent... He exited the bathroom, hair poofed like a sponge... Unable to see, he couldn't even smell Lo Ban's foreign scent over his own... So, to Malf everything was back to normal as he approached Galen's position... Lo Ban would not have this man beast attacking the young lady... he placed himself in the line of Malf's path, a protective shield for Galen.... -------------------- Did someone say food?

"No, wait!" I called out, hurrying forward and taking Lo Ban by the arm. He stopped, trying to keep one eye on me and one on the deceptively appealing image of a puffed Malf, his hair freshly laundered and smelling like a rose. I could sense he wasn't buying the innocent puffed look, so I hastily pressed on. "That's just Malf," I said, stopping Lo Ban before he did anything rash, such as pulling out his lightsaber and trying to defend me from the hairy being. "He's a friend-- "Malf!" I interrupted myself, now speaking up a little louder. "This is Lo Ban, and he's a friend, understand?" I stopped with that, hoping Malf got the message. I didn't want to repeat the fiasco of Lumbia's seemingly eternal joyrides up and down the lift of, egad... was it mere hours ago...?

"Don't fret, Galen... I wouldn't have harmed the big lug..."Lo Ban came further into the room,"...in fact, he looks much... more innocent... than he did in our first encounter..." He tentatively approached Malf, holding one arm out... then using it to pet him on the side of his underbelly... "Harmles--" Lo Ban's words were muffled by Malf's overzealous bear hug of a new... friend... -------------------- In the absence of light, darkness prevails

I smiled as I walked past Malf and Lo Ban, heading to my room."Don't hug him to death, pal," I said, then entered and came up to my bed. It was rumpled, the covers tossed and the pillows crooked, evidence of the dreams which had haunted me during the sleep I had earlier. Sleeeeep.... I started at that, and cut my eyes to the nearby chronometer. The fact that I was extremely tired was suddenly brought home with the realization that it was still in the middle of the night, that all the aforementioned fiasco with Lumbia and Jebbua Dahutt and Lo Ban's appearance and Malf's antics and Dash and the jawa and the "loudmouth" down the hall had transpired in the space of but a few short hours. Like any other highly trafficked tourist world, Sullust was open 36 hours a day, so to speak; I never would have known how late it really was if I had simply tried judging the time by the throngs of people still up and around in my hotel. I blinked. The bed looked very inviting.... Before I knew it I was crawling into it, this time managing to kick off my boots before sliding in between the sheets. I drew them up around me, snuggling and wiggling and making a nice little indentation, nestling my face in one of the two pillows in case someone needed the other. I had scarcely let out a small sigh of contentment when I began drifting off....

Malf eventually let Lo Ban go, but the rapid blood rush to his brain left him limp on the floor of the hotel... Malf, still unable see, could sense the motionlessness of his new friend... the big furball knelt down on one knee, now only the height of a tall man, he searched for Lo Ban's body on his hands and knees... Finding him, Malf took him up into his arms once more... Finding Galen's room by her lovely scent trail, Malf closed--Slammed the door behind him... He briskly carried Lo Ban into the room, the bed far closer than he imagined, Malf's legs came out from underneath him... Lo Ban's body fell next to that of Galen's sleeping form... Losing his balance, Malf fell into a nearby chair... Did someone say, sleep?

Hours later...Romanus closed the door of Room 14 behind him quietly. No need to wake her up, otherwise she'll start asking those stupid questions again... He rolled up the collar of his coat to hide part of his face, then walked down the hallway to the staircase. No way in hell he was going to use the lift; with all that disorder going on there, he didn't want any part of it. Not yet anyway. To his surprise, the Force-users were still here...and unaware of his presence. Interesting they haven't confronted him yet even though they were in the same building... As he left the Azure Planetoid to complete his mission, Romanus noted there was a new bartender there. Hope he's smarter than the last guy. he thought as he walked out of the inn. -------------------- "I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past...why don't you dance with a man for a change?" -Russell Crowe, before he beats the crap out of someone, in LA Confidential

As DINK and I walked back to the SHIMMERING SCIMITAR I realized that in my haste to impress GALEN, I never mentioned what time I would drop by her room!I entered my ship, and set to work on a HOLO message. "GALEN, I would like to begin by appologizeing for the actions of myself and my friend DINK, they were uncalled for and inappropriate. And I'm sorry! I understand if you don't want to see me again, but I hope you realize that I was just trying to protect you. If you get this message, you can find me in my ship the SHIMMERING SCIMITAR in docking bay 17. I hope to hear from you again! And oh, by the way, DINK say's 'OOO-TEE-DEE' which I beleive means 'SORRY'. I had completed my message, and sent it to the MESSAGE BOARD in GALEN's room. I decided to practice with my 'LIGHTSABER' as that guy called it. I went to my training room and thhrew up a REMOTE. I practiced for hours!!!! I think I'm getting the hang of this!!! But how did he throw that lamp at me??? It must have been DINK!!! I'll talk to hiom about that later! -------------------- Those 2 guys may be IDIOTS... but they think the same way I do!

I wafted upwards from a depth of slumber so deep as to preclude dreams, born upon a steadily growing sensation that there was something warm and breathing laying next to me. Not quite awake, my brain connected certain areas within itself, launching a series of neuronic activity, sending electrical impulses traveling about at the speed of thought itself. A vague memory whispered and tickled, not one given actual image, but something deeper, a sense which was carried within the very nuclei of every cell in my body.
Unknownst to myself, I smiled, now snuggling more closely against the warm body as that vague imagery came up with a particular situation: Massive and luxurious rooms, exotic carpets and wallhangings, technology of an unknown nature, a little home amidst this wonder, shared by me and this particular warm body.... Now dreaming, I wafted ever closer to awakening, until at last I breached that unlimited surface and woke up. One eye peeped lazily open... then widened. I was not in Phrinnchatka at all, I was in Piriingisi, for there was Malf snoozing away beyond the form of Lo Ban, who was himself yet asleep, laying beside me with a vague smile of his own on his face. Laying beside me?! A quick checkover assured me that I was still fully attired, all but the boots; memories of a certain and long-ago day with Sorben -- that night in fact in which Darra was probably brought into being -- faded back into the place where all such memories are stored. I sighed with relief, and quietly slid from the bed. I was just in the process of donning my boots when I noticed the message light was flashing on the communications device sitting on the nightstand next to me. I stared at it blankly, wondering who would know I was here. Finally deciding there was only one way to answer, I picked up a nearby crystalline chip and enabled the device with it. A tiny holographic image of none other than Dash Kelderon flashed into life on the nightstand, and he began speaking. I listened clearly, for once completely unaffected by the man's pheromones, and as I listened an idea began to grow in the back of my head. Quickly, I took an information chip into the bathroom, and there recorded a message asking him to meet me as soon as he could in the little restaurant the hotel boasted, the Indigo Moon. Sending the message on its way, I then left a less exotic, hand-written one for Lo Ban and Malf to find when they woke up. Giving the sleeping form of Lo Ban a little smile, and lightly kissing Malf's chin -- for that was all I could reach of him, and with me stretching up on tiptoe even -- I turned and quietly left the room, heading downstairs to the Indigo Moon to there order up a gigantic breakfast and wait. -------------------- "Sure as there is Treasure on Roon...."

Jasyn wasn't quite sure how long it took him to get to the Raptor, but at length he finally made it, stumbling his way into the cabin of the classy little lamby with anything but grace. He ambled with even less grace than that into the cockpit, now fumbling around in his pocket til he pulled out a particular little slip of paper from it. He frowned at the paper then thoughtfully, mostly because he was trying to bring the numbers scribbled on it into focus......but something in the back of his mind was trying to point out that the occasional swish and creak behind him on his way to the ship had been more than hangover-induced sounds. Jasyn shook is head. No way was anyone following him. Unless... Malf? Frowning at that and wandering just what the hell happened to the furball, Jasyn warmed up the engines of the Raptor and took to the skies. Squinting then, he took a few minutes to interpret the numbers on the aforementioned sheet of paper, took a bit more time to program them into the Raptor, then pulled the hyperspace lever. Stars exploded then into starlines and Jasyn sat back into the pilots seat and began to drift once again. Hopefully when he woke up the next time this kriffing headache would be gone, and he could actually get to the business of doing something worthwhile in his life again... ...just like in the good ole' days...

I was just taking the first sip of my third cuppa java juice when a wave of chemistry announced the simple fact that Dash had entered the Indigo Moon. I couldn't help but grin a little over the lip of my cup as I covertly watched the reactions of the female population of this little restaurant: to a one their heads jerked up and pivoted to the blue-skinned stranger who was now so boldly striding in from the hotel lobby beyond.And coming my way, after a quick glance around to determine my whereabouts. I took in a deep breath, setting the cup down, and raised a hand. The pheromones grew in intensity as he approached, but this time, knowing of them in advance and not being taken by surprise, I was ready for them. Or rather, ready as I ever could be to keep everything on the up and up; I still couldn't help the biological reaction which sent heat flushing through me to rapidly redden my cheeks. He came up with a smile and stopped beside the table. I smiled back, and invited him to sit down. "Breakfast?" This time I managed to keep the tremor from my voice, as well as I managed to stifle the growing threat of my hand trembling. Steady as a proverbial rock, or at least I hoped, I picked up my cup and took another sip, giving him another appraising glance over the rim. C'mon Galen ol girl, you can do this.... -------------------- "Sure as there is Treasure on Roon...."

As Dash smiled and nodded, taking a seat across from me then turning to the little Sullustan waitress who came up to take his order, I let my thoughts grow inward, pondering exactly what to say. The importance of much of what I wanted to say couldn't be overlooked, yet I found myself in the unenviable position of having my tongue tied, and not by the man's pheromone output.He finally turned to me, raising a brow and taking a sip of something he had ordered. I took that as my cue to begin, and set my cup down on the table with exaggerated care. Clasping my hands and doing my best to ignore the chemistry igniting between us, I began. "Look, Dash," I started. "You said in your message that you were just trying to protect me. Now, why in Hell's Seven Circles you've come along stating that is something I don't understand; call it serendipity. But I want to let you know that what you tried in trying to protect me last night, is really appreciated, really. And more." I paused, staring him straight in his lavender eyes, looking for any reaction he might have, any subtle form of body language which might in turn give me justification to call the whole thing quits right then and there with just this apology. But nothing seedy or dark seemed to be threatening, in fact he looked a bit more interested. So I took heart in that, and pressed onward. "These pheromones of yours -- I assume that's what they are, right? -- are quite, uh... quite a lil ability you have about you," I started, apparently switching the subject. He paused in taking a drink, a shadow of confusion crossing his face. I leaned forward even more. "Look, I won't take up any more of your time with polite observations, Dash. The fact of the matter is that... well, there are certain things which have been happening to me in my life over the past three years, things which for certain reasons I don't want to go into detail about right now. But the result of these things is that my daughter has been missing... and the jedi you got into a ruckus with last night has just brought me the information of her whereabouts." I stopped, giving him this moment to make any polite rebuttal of his own, and escape. He sat. I went on. "I'm going to go get my daughter, Dash, and as far as I know Lo Ban and Malf are coming to help. But-- these certain, er... things which are also involved may be lurking in the background...." I trailed off momentarily, my eyes growing vague as my thoughts derailed back to the Sith. For a moment I sat there, a blank look on my face; then I grunted, gathered myself together, and continued. "Your little jawa buddy is awfully handy with tinkering; that was quite a-- a weapon he zapped Lo Ban with last night. I've never seen it, it looked cobbled, I can only assume he made it, I know that's what jawas love to do. Abilities like that might come in handy against these, er... things; as well as your natural pheromone output. Some of the, er... things are female. "Ok, there's the long of it, now here's the short. I've been told where my daughter is, I'm going there. It may just be a quickie in and out, or not. If not, I could sure use the addition of your abilities, as well as the capabilites of your buddy, in addition to the jedi and, er... well, the abilities of Malf. "I-- I can pay you, actually...." With that I fell silent, taking another sip of my java juice, waiting to see what he would say, as well as waiting to see if Lo Ban and Malf had gotten my message and would thus be joining me here in the Indigo Moon.

Lo Ban awoke next to an indentation that was still warm, and Lo Ban found himself intoxicated by the scent...Realizing he didn't remember a thing about the night before, Lo Ban jumped out of the comfort of the bed... He was clothed, so that it was doubtful anything happened... nonetheless, Lo Ban wasn't sure... Well, this Malf seems to have watched over us... nothing happened... Lo Ban thought to himself, as he found Galen's note... Indigo Moon, ey... "Wake up bud, we've got to get some breakfast..." Lo Ban barely got out before Malf was halfway to the turbolift... Lo Ban followed him, through the Malf-sized hole in Galen's hotelroom door... The Indigo Moon, Galen's table Lo Ban entered the restaurant, easily finding Galen and... her friend... Malf took a seat next to Galen, leaving Lo Ban no choice but next to Dash... "Malf made a... changes to the room, don't worry about it, I paid for the damages on the way down..." Lo Ban said looking around the restaurant... The Indigo Moon, across the room... Cartina's stomach nearly flew out of her mouth, as she layed eyes on the person she'd never expect to see again...

I cast a sideways glance up at Malf, wondering exactly what it was the big walking hairball had done this time. Then I shrugged to myself, making a note to find out what it cost Lo Ban and offer to share the expense of whatever it was Malf had done.Anyway, I didn't think I was going to be going back up to my room, so in the end it really didn't matter. I then turned my attention to Lo Ban, and gave him a smile. Nodding to the still-silent Dash, I decided to be the one to break the ice. "I asked Dash if he would come help us retrieve Darra, Lo Ban, in case... er, well in case things start getting a little bit out of hand. I was just waiting to hear what he would say...." I trailed off into silence then, nodding meaningfully toward Lo Ban. He if anyone present would fully appreciate the hidden meaning and nuance I was placing in that particular word, things.... But during the course of that nod, something across the room caught my eye. I froze reflexively, then loosened. Damn, there's a bounty hunter there, I thought, now sending my eyes every which way, trying to determine who of the people in the Indigo Moon would be hapless enough to be on the hit list. The pickings were slim, I'll admit that, but one never knew. I nodded to Lo Ban again, sending my eyes glancing meaningfully off to the side to the hunter, then sliding back into his again. I knew these hunters carried sound amplification devices; Khaandon knows I didn't want this one to start eavesdropping on us, at least not any further, since what I had already alluded to had been spoken and the words could not now be retrieved. -------------------- "Sure as there is Treasure on Roon...."

Lo Ban had noticed the eyes on him since he sat down..."If you'll excuse me, I left something in the room... be a doll and order me something..." Lo Ban few a few credits on the table, as he left the restaurant... The Bounty Hunter followed his exit, not exactly what Lo Ban had in mind... but it would do... Just outside the Indigo Moon... Cartina was baffled that Lo Ban had somehow eluded her, this was explaned with authority as Lo Ban's heel met her jaw with solid contact... He dragged the unconscious form of Cartina into the shadows of a back alley... He entered the restaurant, and took his seat... "The hunter is unconscious, I feel we must make space within the next hour... with or without the help of others... it is your call, if you believe they would help..." The safety of the babe is all that matters... -------------------- In the absence of light, darkness prevails

A Devaronian, former Lieutenant of the Imperial Army Romanus reviewed his assignment in his head as he passed by the Indigo Moon to his target. Defected, and started smuggling info to the Republic. Now lives a drug-dealing life on Sullust. I'm hired to shut him up for good.He sensed the other Force-users by the Indigo Moon as he walked by, and wondered if he should pay them a visit after this is done... Ah, but first things first... he thought, as he felt an estranged presence in an alley right next to the building. Sensing his target there, Romanus walked down into the shadows... A human walked by him, pale and shaky, carrying a handful of capsules. The assassin finally ascertained that the Devaronian is here. He saw the horned, red-skinned creature in the back of the alley, a paper box right next to him Romanus walked up to him, scratching his chin. "How's it goin'?" he asked. The Devaronian stared at him, narrowing his brow. "What do you want?" he asked, in a raspy, menacing voice. "Haven't seen you before..." Romanus shrugged and smiled. "A friend of mine told me of this freak in an alley, with horns and a damn ugly face, and I could--" The creature's face grew even redder, and began grabbing for his blaster. Romanus swiftly detached his lightsaber from the belt, ignited it, and swung it across his opponent's hand as the Devaronian brought his weapon up. The green glow did not block Romanus's sight of the creature's face of agony, and he continued to watch as he grasped his new stump and crumpled to his knees. Romanus balanced the blade right between the two horns on his head. He wiped his nose before he continued. "Geez, not only are you ugly, but you smell bad too." the assassin said, then brought the saber down upon his target. His weapon back on his belt, Romanus left the alley and stopped in front of the Indigo Moon again. His smile was still on his face. Wouldn't hurt to get something to eat...

It didn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together. Lo Ban exited Indigo Moon. Bounty hunter exited Indigo Moon. Lo Ban re-enters Indigo Moon. I waited a few minutes. Nope. No bounty hunter. And sure as there's Treasure on Roon I didn't want to be here when the hunter returned. "I think you're right," I said, rising and waving to our waitress. At Malf's crestfallen look, I amended leaving without our food to requesting the universal doggy bag, and then whatever they had handily prepared in the kitchen to go in it. Malf brightened perceptibly at this; it didn't take the waitress long to return with a tower of containers. Dash and Lo Ban began gathering them up, but were interrupted by Malf who swept the entire lot into his hairy arms. "Just wait until we're in hyperspace, wouldja pal?" I asked with half a frown, half a grin. Then leaving the remainder of my loose credits for a tip, I rose and led the way from the restaurant, passing information along to Dash who had mentioned that he had his own ship. "We'll meet you at the rendezvous point on the edge of Kamino space then, ok?" I finalized, for the first time managing to stare him straight in the eye without swooning or wanting to throw my arms around him. He affirmed the fact that he was in like flint, and hurried off to his own ship. I turned to Lo Ban; only then did it strike me that they might have their own transportation. "Ummm, do you want to meet me there, or come along on my lambda. It's not big, but it books, and it's armed to the teeth, for a lamby," I finished, waiting to see what they would do. -------------------- "Sure as there is Treasure on Roon...."
