Finding one's way is not so hard.

[Garza]

A young man walked alone on the streets of Courscant. All he had on him was a jacket that covered a hoodie and a T-shirt, jeans that were faded to the point where almost all of the deep blue had faded to become a grey. He wore work boots that covered his feet, but the cuts of leather showed that they had been well used. On his back was a tan and black bookbag that was stuffed with all that he owned. Even now people just thought of him as a lonely student at some school here on Courscant. He wasn't though He was a freak of nature, I was that young man.

Inside that bag were spare clothes, some credits, and my wings. Yes I said wings. Black feathered wings that had grown on me. I could pull them into by back for the most part, but the rest stuck out between my shoulder blades only by inches. my bookbag covered the scars of my life. Here I was alone, even if I was a Shadow for the empire that had rescued me. I rather like to live alone, only to be called when needed.

Between my back and the brown material was a sheath that held a very light and agile blade used only by me. It was just about the only line of defense that I had. Even more so, I knew nothing of this force. But still I chose to live alone. Walking down the streets I came to a light that showed a orange stop hand. Everybody else stopped while I walked. Keeping my head down, the speeders weaved around me blaring their horns or shouting curses at me. Really all I cared for was getting to a place where I could take a load off.

Walking up to a run down hotel, I walked up the five steps to the door and opened it. Inside people were talking about dinner dates, times to meet, or a place to stay. Walking past all of them I went into the lobby and saw a couch off to the side. I looked like a drunkard as I swung my body around to walk towards the chair where I let my body plop down crushing the cushion with my weight. and yet I may have looked tired I was not.

I seemed to have sat there for hours, people looking at me with a single glance then moving on. It was probably best that they did, because I wouldn't talk to them. Only time would tell of what would happen to me in his city-planet.

Saw him sitting there silently and still, the look over the boy intrigued him enough that the single glance sparked him wto walk over and sit down next to him. "Hello, how has your day been." His robes and hood shrouded his features from any passerby, his features and the fact of who he was could only be seen by Dove. And he had plenty reason to hide such in this part of the city planet after all. "My names Yusan by the way, how come your just sitting here?"

 

[Garza]

I sat alone on the couch. I looked to my right when a voice came out to me and the weight on the couch shifted. I didn't even move my head as the man spoke. I didn't say a word at first. Just sat there and acted like he was not even there. It seemed like minutes had passed when it was really seconds. I turned towards him to see the white hair and the sharp features of the man's face. He looked young, yet he had white hair that made him look older than he probably was. I shook my head speaking silently, "Because I want to sit alone."

I was not being nice, If he left then all the better for me. Though if he didn't I wouldn't care. right now, I thought that he was just another person for me to turn away. "Yusan, does that name come from Eshan?" I didn't know how that I knew about the planet Eshan. I racked my brain for what race he might come from. when it hit me, He was an Echani. Still I wondered How I remembered all of these little things, but nothing of my past life.

@[member="Yusan Fenn"]

 

[Serah Oricion]

"Indeed, i am from Eshan and apoligize for disturbing you." He looked up at the ceiling while he thought over something and talked with the other. "Any reason for wanting to be alone, and if you would rather i left fine by me. I just thought a conversation would ease whatever troubled you." His eyes drifted down from the ceiling at a lazyly slow pace before resting upon Dove. @[member="Black Dove"]

 

[Garza]

I looked down as Yusan spoke. Saying that he was from Eshan. Confirming that he was an Echani. I just nodded my head twice "No need for the apology. Everyone has their bad days." I let the sentence hang in the air when I spoke again. "Others more than most." I took into account that the man kept moving. His body weight shifted backwards. he was most likely leaning back, maybe looking at something else that was up higher than his eye level. I looked to the side and could see the outline of armor under the robes. Ether he was prepared for anything, or he had a bad thing in mind. When he shifted his weight again I looked up at him once more as he spoke.

If he left I would be content with that, but I might as well make conversation since I didn't want to waste his time. "I don't trust people. so you walking up to me asking about my day is not a very good icebreaker." I told him simply who I was and how his attempt of talking was failing. I shrugged my shoulders. "It only makes me nervous. I have had a very..... interesting life. If I were to tell you everything now, it would take a very long time." I didn't feel like sharing my story with him. Even then, I probably would only share small things about how I may have been beaten and then escaped, but I will not talk about what was on my back.

[Serah Oricion]

"I got time, after the attack on the Senate building things have been slow and ive been nursing my wounds. As for the icebreaker, i was never good wit conversation so excuse me for the rather poor start to this conversation." Yusan looked back at the ceiling again, his weight shifting back to lean once more in the seat. His expression and mood had not a sliver of hostility in them, if anything the betrayed curiosity and slight pain behind it. Though the pain was faded and barely noticeable. The attack on the Senate building obviously being the one caused by Jacen and Mikhail only a few days back.

(I assumed this was two or three days after the Senate attack due to the posting dates, in case that caused any confusion.) @[member="Black Dove"]

 

[Garza]

I nodded my head at the sound of the attack on the building. I had heard about the fight that took place there. Even a few people that flied around with the force. I could do that, just with real wings instead of powers. I had also heard while walking around of people using fire as a weapon from powers. And the fact that a man had used his eyes to super heat the pillars so they would crumble down. It was only a few days ago, yet everybody was still wondering how Sith had gotten past the guards. Still the man must have been in it and somehow survived the falling building. That meant he ether ran out of the door, or he somehow survived the rubble that must have been falling.

I shook my head with a smirk saying once again. "There is no need to excuse yourself. you have done nothing wrong to me." In my mind I continued the sentence with "Yet". I stood up to my six foot tall stature and offered him my hand. "Might as well start over, I'm Dove."
@[member="Yusan Fenn"]

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan nodded and took the Dove's hand and shook it, standing as well before doing so again. "Noted, and as i said before i am Yusan. Are you a native or did you come to Coruscant by ship if i might ask?" He retracted his hand and glanced at the someone whom had walked by before pulling his hood tighter, letting the hood shroud his features. It was clear he had something to hide, but what that something was wasn't out in the open as of yet. He seemed to have only show Dove his features due to either a slight trust, or he saw Dove as no threat to himself. @[member="Black Dove"]

 

[Garza]

I watched as a man passed us. Yusan seemed intent on hiding his features from everyone but me. It was that slight trust that the man had for me that said wonders. He had some trust in me so I might as well lend him some of mine. "Nether. I don't live here yet I didn't come with a ship." I had come her to blend in with the Galaxy. A place where there were tall buildings for me to get fresh air and a place where I could be alone. "Hiding in plain sight, and it seems as though you are doing the same."

I spoke to him in a hushed voice not wanting passerbys to over hear me. I also didn't want the police on my tail ether. I was wanted for stealing food and clothing from a family about a week ago., but hey you never know what might happen. I turned my body slightly to hide my face from the people at the counter who kept staring at us. "I suggest we leave unless we want company."

@[member="Yusan Fenn"]

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan glanced over at the counter and smiled. How distrusting people were was funny but there was something evident in Dove's tone that told him that he probably wasnt the most law abiding person. That or someone was after him. Yusan knew that feeling all to well and clearly saw it in Dove's stature. "I know a place where people dont bother me, if you need somewhere to hide out." He kept his voice low and started walking, his glance lingering on the other as he walked. He would understand if Dove didnt trust him, but his offer was genuine and from the way the other acted he suspected what ever trouble he was in Yusan could help in some way. @[member="Black Dove"]

 

[Garza]

Looking around I could clearly see that people were watching us. Two hooded figures standing pretty tall and in clothes that looked rather daunting was not a good mix. Yusan offered to take me to a place where we would not be disturbed. However, I knew that we would. Trouble seemed to always follow me even if I was in the best of places. still I followed the Echani through the doors and down the steps and onto the street. "Tell me where it is, Split up so we can attract less attention." Even though it was just a "student" and a "hooded" it could still attract lots of attention. hell, I may seem paranoid but I would rather be safe then sorry.

@[member="Yusan Fenn"]

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan nodded and turned, at first it seemed he was going to leave Dove until a small datachip entered Dove's hand as Yusan walked away without a word to a parked landspeeder. The datachip would lead Dove to Yusan's home which he headed for immediately without stopping. After all, stopping might only let anyone that trailed him to catch up. Once at the home he entered the building and took the lift up before it stopped and its doors opened, letting Yusan step out into the apartment that was his. @[member="Black Dove"]

 

[Garza]

Looking at the datapad that was handed to me, I watched as Yusan got on a speeder and zoomed out of the area. I smiled and shook my head. I walked to a nearby building and asked the clerk for the way to reach the top. She looked at me with some confusion and pointed to stares. Smiling I walked to see that the stairs spiraled up in a rectangle. Perfect. I jumped from the handle rail of one floor and jumped again up to the next one. Soon I reached the 13th floor of the building where I opened the top door. I walked out and smiled letting my hood down.

I dropped my bag on the ground and kicked it over to a vent where it would be hidden from others. I took off my jacket and hoodie to reveal my suit. I pilled up the cover on my mouth and let my wings come out. The black feathered wings came out like none other. Even though I have had it for over five years now, I still marveled at them and their beauty. Smiling I brought my wings straight up like a swimmer that was just about to take a swan dive. With so much power and result in my heart, I brought my wings down to launch me into the air. It took me only five minutes to reach the house that Yusan lived in. Pulling down the face cover and putting my black wings up I knocked on his door twice.

[Gherron Dragovalor]

Coruscant was no small place. Anyone could get lost in it's streets, but not Gherron. He had grown up on the streets, and had an uncanny memory of everywhere he had visited. At any given moment, his brain was like a road map of the city planet. He only needed to pull up the required area he was looking for, and he was there. As the man walked along the street in denim jeans and a t-shirt, he anxiously looked around for something to do. It was then that he had noticed something strange. Walking up to an apartment building was a hooded man, with what looked like a very slight bulge in the back of his jacket. He walked in after a minute, and that was that. Curiosity struck at the jedi, and he followed him. His senses through the force told him that the other had gotten in the elevator, and he was able to track him to the top floor. Walking up to the desk, he asked the clerk for a key to the penthouse floor. She must have assumed there was a party for the senator going on up there, because she gave him one with almost no hesitation. Then walking into the elevator, he breathed a sigh of relief. On his way up, he racked his brain for a plan on how to hide. He didn't know the layout yet, so he would have to make an impromptu plan for his reconnaissance.

 

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan keyed open the door and turned without speaking as he walking back into the room. It was a average looking home, but not one you would expect of a Senator. The place had only three rooms, one of which was a bed room, the other a study and the third, the main one, was a Kitchen and living room. The Furniture was cheap and there was barely anything that wasnt generally a necessity. Just a table, a stocked kitchen, chairs here and there and a holoscreen. It had a a few windows, and through them one would notice key features showed in the distance. And lastly the room had several obvious cameras and too a extremely sharp eye they would notice small cracks in the wall, man made ones. Yusan collapse in one of the chairs at the table and looked at Dove, not speaking or reacting to @[member="Dove"] as of yet.

 

[Garza]

As the door opened, it seemed as though the man did not see the feathered wings that I had. Still the man, Yusan, had entered his home without looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders and walked in to the house. He looked to be a simple citizen that lived here, yet his clothes said otherwise. "Nice crib you have." It was just a compliment on the house. He plopped down onto the chair that he had as I was still standing. He had not reacted to me yet, I decided to open my wings up a little. "Now you see what I hide."
@[member="Yusan Fenn"]

 

[Serah Oricion]

"I see, and there is no need to worry. I specialize in dealing with the strange and unique and you my friend are no exception." He reached over and brought a pot and two glasses over without standing from the kitchen, the use of the force being his conduit for such a feat. He pour something into the glass in his hand and looked up, speaking. "Its tea if you want some, made it a bit ago." He waved his hand slowly to the pot then leaned forward on the table speaking one last time. "I do need to ask though, how did you come by those extra appendages of yours." @[member="Dove"]

 

[Garza]

I shrugged my shoulders when he said that he was not surprised, because he was use to dealing with the strange and unique things of the Galaxy. I watched as the man used the force to call upon the tea kettle and poured himself a glass, as well as I. Walking forwards I took the glass and brought it to my lips where the sweet, and slight bitter taste of herbs and fruit covered my tongue. I sat it down on the table and sat on the edge of the chair across from him. I couldn't sit back in the chair because I might crush my wings sitting back. Though I still had good posture in sitting forward and straight. The Echani Asked me about how I came to get the wings. I liked my lips nervously as I went ahead and told him.

"I was taken hostage by a Sith with the knowledge of Alchemy. All I know of my life is the pain and suffering he caused me with tests and exams over the course of five years. During that time, they wanted to try and create the perfect being. The Sith that was incharge of me went off on his own and replaced my bones with ones much like a bird, and implanted wings into my back. Because of the operations that he had forced me into, I lost most of my memory. I know that I was once a soldier of some kind, and that I was already alone in life."

I didn't like the fact that I just about told my entire life's story, but seeing as this man was also hiding things, I had some thoughts in my mind that I might trust him later on. Though most of all, he may need to prove it.

[Gherron Dragovalor]

Getting out of the elevator, Gherron immediately saw that spying on the man wouldn't be as hard as he thought. Sneaking up to the door as quietly as he could, he eavesdropped on the conversation inside. There seemed to be two men inside, one was no doubt the senator, and the other he suspected was the one he followed up here. At one point, it became hard to hear. He needed to get closer. Slowly, he opened the door and slipped inside, closing it back softly. Dropping to the floor, he crept along as he heard the voices louder now. They seemed to be in the main living room, not too far away. Silently, he made his way to the bathroom that was next to him, not wanting to be seen by either.

[Serah Oricion]

"I see and what is it that you planed to do now with those wings of yours anyways? It seems like you merely are taking it day by day and that is something that only waste time, you see everyone needs a purpose and to serve that purpose." He drank from the glass and looked past Dove for half a second as his earpiece sounded. Someone was ease dropping and had triggered the sensors he had at the door, it was amazing how who ever had snuck in had been so blind to such a system unless they were an amateur. It mattered not now as he activated a built in control panel and put in a command that would silently lock the only door into the apartment, or at least the only visible one. "Like i said, everyone has a purpose, from the lowest rat to the highest king." @[member="Gherron Vael"] @[member="Dove"]
