"Wait, you're lecturing me now," Cadence asked, finally sitting up and giving him an incredulous look. "What exactly do you know about anything?"
She stood, her face wracked with all the pain and the rage she kept bottled up inside. "Come on, tell me. What's your sob story," she demanded...
Chuka set the food down near her then stepped away, giving her space enough to eat. Rather than sit up, however, she simply laid back while staring up at the ceiling. This felt all too familiar to her. Huddled in a corner crying while Varlo stood over her, urging her to eat. Even forcing her, if...
The next morning Riley found herself summoned to Lord Echryn's study. Not wanting to keep him waiting she rushed to get dressed. A part of her wondered just what this summons was about. Did Darius break his promise to her and tell Echryn about the mage? Could he have told him about how she...
The morning had a somber feeling to it. Most of the family were in seclusion while the house servants kept their heads down. Everyone was keenly aware the Blight in Ferelden was getting worse but no one was talking about it. Darius had finally been permitted some free time away from the study...
Two days had passed since news of King Cailan's death had arrived. Reports were still trickling in, but due to the distances involved the news was almost two months behind. The first reports of the Blight had come in the day before, as well as news that two Grey Wardens had survived the Battle...
OOC: Recruitment Thread.
IC: Waves crashed against the cliffs as the three riders made their way along the coast. The winds coming in off the seas were harsh. It's bitter cold biting at their skin and whipping their cloaks about them. A storm was on the horizon, heralded by dark clouds that...
Cadence had been asleep when the Mandalorian returned. She spent a good chunk of the night struggling to break free of her bonds until eventually she tired herself out. Her sleep was anything but restful, however. Her dreams were filled with images of faceless figures shrouded in darkness. They...
Stay put, he says, she grumbled to herself. She twisted her body to look up at her wrists. He had attached the cuffs to the bed frame, doing the same for her feet on the other side. With her movement extremely limited all she could really do was twist in place. Bracing herself for the inevitable...
Cadence's muscles strained as she tried to pull herself up. When Chuka flew down next to her and offered to help she rolled her eyes. "Oh yea, sure. Could you go get my lightsaber for me... Aahh!" She yelped when her hand slipped. Dangling from one arm sixteen floors up she stared at the ground...
Before the shot was even made Cadence was already moving. She blasted the Mando in front of her with a telekinetic push from the Force then turned to run back the way she came. The stun blast from behind narrowly missed her as she ran. Above her she had her eyes focused on a large radio antenna...
Cadence felt a flash of warning before the shots were fired. She lowered her hand, ducked her head then skidded to a halt. Her body half twisted around as she reached out with her other hand to summon her lightsaber back to her. The shots fired into the door busted the locking mechanism, cutting...
Lovey took her across town to the poorer districts of Canto Bight. She pulled their speeder up in front of a rundown apartment building in a part of the city that was reminiscent of her old neighborhood back on Vorzyd V. After exiting the vehicle, Elena couldn't help but notice the homeless man...
The Codebreaker had led her to a private room off to one side of the casino. A woman joined them there, the same one from the craps table hanging off Codebreaker's arm.
"Lovey, do be a dear and get us some drinks," the man said to her, gesturing to a nearby bar.
Lovey gave him a brief look...
DURING THE DAY the city of Canto Bight was a sight to behold, but at night it was truly spectacular. A beacon of opulence on an otherwise barren world. Ringed by an imposing mountain range the city was located on the shore of the galaxy's largest artificial ocean. A popular destination for...
Cadence slipped off the ledge of the building onto the roof then leaned over the edge to look down towards the street. She could see the window to her room from here, plus the balcony that led into the Senator's room. Getting back through her window at this angle would be tricky, not to mention...
The conversation between Venn and Delrick faded to nothing as Cadence left the room. She found her quarters at the end of the hall and stepped inside, pausing by the door to inspect her surroundings. The room was quite a bit more extravagant than she was used to. It was like a miniature suite...
Cadence was lost in thought by the time they arrived back at the hotel suite. Venn had taken her on a bit of an impromptu tour of the surrounding area, insisting on purchasing some wine and local candies. The whole time they were shopping she couldn't shake this feeling that someone was watching...
Venn seemed to have a frustratingly positive outlook about everything. Okay, so maybe it's true the Council might have sent her out to the far end of the galaxy to a place where she could focus and train in peace. However, it was also just as likely that they sent her out here to minimize the...
A Mandalorian? Cadence chided herself for not noticing. Spotting a Mandalorian in the crowd should have been easy considering the armor they wore. It had a very distinctive style to it that set it apart from any armor that one might find being worn by Republic or Sith troopers. She cast a glance...
"Well, are they," Venn asked. "They didn't attack us on sight, or even demand our surrender."
Well, of course they didn't the war is over. Cadence found his behavior genuinely confusing. Yes, they were on a diplomatic mission, but that didn't mean either he or she would have to kowtow to the...
