Red and Gold (K'sara)

[Raijin Arashi]

I was back on Tatooine again. The memory of meeting Starla here, in Mos Eisley, for the first time wasn't as painful as I'd thought. She'd been with me for a month and a half, and then... That. She was still out there, somewhere, looking for the father of her unborn baby... I'd understood why I couldn't be a father. Even among Shards, there was no real parental relations. We were all just splittings that grew up and broke into pieces again. At some point, it was likely that I would have children of my own. Tainted by my experience, so the elders of my kind would say.

But that wasn't why I was here. I needed a quiet world to stay on. Somewhere that nobody would find me, except for the people I knew. Somewhere I could just bump into somebody interesting when I felt like it, and just not do anything else.

This was the armpit of the galaxy, and where I would stay for a time. Tatooine.





Now what in the hell was I doing in town when I wanted to be isolated?

Feral Sapith got permission to land in Bay 4 of the spaceport in Mos Eisley. She was trying to get away from her faction for a little bit, after all, they drove her batty. The best way to hide, was of course, among the ones who didn't want to be found. As was probably thought of by who she would meet, although she had no idea that she would meet anybody of interest. Her astromech chattered from her ARC-170 starfighter, which she built herself. Many looked at the ancient model of the starfighter oddly, as it was originally a Republic model. Of course she had it dressed up in colors that were her own. She had the symbol of an ancient power that once ruled the Sith on each wing.

K'sara paid the docking fee and left the bay. She left her astromech instructions to not let anyone try to commandeer the ship. Outside the starport was the marketplace, she took a left, a right, a left into an alleyway and turned on a holocron of her former master, back when she was a Jedi. She loved her master more than anyone, a female Miraluka.

Looking around for the source of the loud noise outside the spaceport bar I was sitting in, I saw a pretty-looking, if old, ARC starfighter landing. A very nice example of one, to be sure, but I wasn't sure why I was seeing one at this time and place, with Imperial markings, of all things.

And then I felt the small weight of a Dark Force user appear in my senses. A young one, by their sense in the Force, and a strong one. The kind of person I used to enjoy training before I'd become disillusioned with the One Sith ways. But here on Tatooine, this person could be anybody. I kept myself concealed slightly in the corner of the bar, and simply watched.

Oddly enough, she felt a dark pull for a moment in the city. She felt the power of a dark sider much stronger than she. She turned off her holocron after she heard the last words before that fate changing battle. She clenched her chest. It would seem obvious that the holocron was affecting her. A tear would run down her cheek from under her blindfold, made to be a full circle band, unneeded to be tied. Her mind wouldn't free from the painful memory, and she wiped her face. She went back out into the public and walked toward the premises that she felt the pull from. Of course, it was now unbeknownst, since the one who had been projecting it masked his power.

She sat down at the bar, and ordered a round of the local brew. She was slowly scoping out the place, but keeping her hand ready to draw one of the three sabers on her person, in case of attack. The last thing that was needed was more blood in this cantina.

I waved my hand over my 'face', activating the holoprojector that gave me the face of some merc I'd ran into a few years ago. The person I'd sensed was here in this bar. My extrasensory abilities aren't anything great, though, so I couldn't tell who. Stepping away from the corner, I let my holographic face smile at the girl who'd just walked in.

"Well, you're new, kid. Mind telling me why you're here?"

Her eyes closed as she tried to make out the shape of the man that spoke to her. Her eyesight was obviously bad, as she had a red, slightly elastic band around her eyes to block out any damaging rays of light that could ruin her eyes more. Her eyes were silver, natural at birth from her mother. She looked around to the direction of the male's voice.

"I am no child. Do not refer to me as such." She said, not wanting to be bothered... then she saw his Force signature. She fumbled back a bit and her hand went for the nearest of her light sabers ready to draw. "You are the one I sensed.... who are you?" She knew she avoided his question,but she would answer once she was a little less, taken aback.

I reached my hand out and gently pushed the woman's hand away from the spot she was reaching for, probably hiding a gun or a lightsaber. Pulling her back from what looked almost like a backwards fall, I dropped the holographic face to show my actual visage. Whether she screamed, or attacked me, or stayed totally calm was her prerogative.

"Well, I'm a complicated person. And I have a feeling that you are, too, little Sithling."

She was a bit startled at the sight of his face but disturbed that she had been touched by a mere stranger who obviously knew of what she was. "I ask you again, who are you? I'll not repeat the question. Why I'm here is merely to hide out and possibly even get some things to build, be it weapons or machines." She moved out of his grasp. "And I believe I forgot a question, what are you?"

 

[Raijin Arashi]

I looked at the woman, and tilted my head quizzically. Did she for some reason expect me to introduce myself in the middle of a potentially hostile bar? My 'face' came close to the woman's, and the AXX Screamer dialed my voice down to a whisper.

"Look... I'm not going to explain myself here. You were the one who decided to come here with your ship marked up as a Sith vessel. I'm simply trying to figure out what your game is. If you're here to hunt me down, you found me. If you're here to ask me to train you, that's really not my thing anymore. Either way, you've seen me and you can't walk around telling people where I am."

I got up, figuring that I'd either piqued the woman's interest, or weirded her out enough to keep her quiet. Either way, it was time to go, with or without her.
