Shadows of the Past (Open)

[Cailst]

"Do you have any sort of mission? Or is this trip just for fun?" He asked trying to see how complex the story was.

If the story was consistent, there might be a chance he wasn't just trying to pull Jacob's leg. However, it would still be really unlikely and if it were true, this young man would be useless.

He then began eating parts of the pike. Then, going back and putting some of the lemon sauce on it to make it taste even more delectable. In the background, the looming mountains still looked incredible. Though they were definitely an old range as much of Onderon's mantle was frozen in place, they still maintained an incredible height, one which would take many millions of years to erode.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

Both I'm here for 2weeks 1for work and 1 for play
he watched as Jacob ate the pike and. Then Josh looked out side

 

[Cailst]

"And who exactly are you planning on assassinating? And why?" Jacob still said very skeptically.

The delicious pike going down his esophagus, Jacob turned to his mashed potatoes and began devouring them. With salt adding a little bit of flavor, it was also great. As that was happening, he began to notice the change in elevation as the train began lifting into the mountains.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

I'm not assassinAnting anybody I'm here to protect him from being assassinated Josh said as he to noticesed the change in altitude

 

[Cailst]

"So that would just make you a bodyguard. Who are you protecting?" He still said skeptically.

As they ascended the mountain, Jacob got one look back at the vast forested plain. Ahead were dozens of mountains. It would be a little while going through. Eventually, it would deliver them to the other side after maybe half an hour, perhaps less.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

Josh said I doint know that's why I'm nervous I doint know if it's a trap

 

[Cailst]

"So you don't even know who you're guarding? How'd they hire you?" He quizzically asked.

He still was very skeptical but he wanted to see how long it would take till the story really began to break down. As that was happening, the train began descending in to the first valley. Further ahead, another ridge was in the distance.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

they contacted me throught the crime under world on corasant josh said a little anoided about the questions any more questions

 

[Cailst]

"And they said they'd be on Onderon in some resort town? What on Onderon are they afraid of and why would they contact someone from the Coruscant underworld?" He continued to ask of this strange young lad.

The train really began dipping into the valley. Were this some previous age, the descent would be too treacherous but with various mag-lev innovations most hills were climbable.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

alot of people hate me and want to kill me josh said and i doint know who the guy is

 

[Cailst]

"How did you get hated? And why would he pick some hated person? This guy honestly seems pretty retarded." He said. This story was getting weirder and weirder.

At this point, he was finishing up some of his last bits of food and was thinking of starting to get the dessert menu. Outside, he saw the train pass over some sort of stream bed, perhaps the one that carved much of the valley.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

My dad caused me to get a bad rep and of course I killed many peoples leaders so it a natual thing for people to hate me josh said
I was propbly choosen to be this guys body guard because I know what I'm doing

 

[Cailst]

"But this guy still is requesting protection from nothing. Except for garrisoned troops or the occasional Jedi passing by, you probably would be one of the more dangerous people on this planet." He said. "Who all did you kill anyways?"

He was seriously questioning the logic of anyone who would tell some random stranger that they've killed people on a train to some peaceful resort. And if this kid was right, the guy who supposedly hired him was dumb. Regardless, he wanted to probe this story.

At this point, he was beginning to look through the dessert menu. The oreo sundae was looking good but he was pondering key lime pie or some other delicious deserts. Unseen but felt was the climb over the next ridge. He wasn't sure but he thought there were about three or four ridges in the mountain chain. From there, would be a scenic ride around the lake and then his visit to his cabin.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

i think he is scare of the jedi he want protection

 

[Cailst]

"And you can discreetly kill a Jedi? If he's at a resort, he should have little fear of the Jedi. After all, if they were to kill or kidnap him, it would be quickly noticed in the small community of a resort." Jacob continued to say.

He then looked back and forth. It was likely that some sort of waiter would be coming. However, he didn't spot one at the moment. Perhaps one would come later on. And there was a chance they wouldn't be coming till the grade of the slope slackened as it would be hard to carry any sort of stuff till that happened.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

no i just have to fight him till my client gets away then i will run you want dessert

 

[Cailst]

"But how would you even keep the fight discreet? And again, why would he honestly be that worried about Jedi when he's in some resort town?" Jacob asked.

The waiter began walking towards them as the slope decreased while cresting the ridge. He was passing out food to some of the other customers but would soon be at the Jacob and Josh's table rather soon.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

I doint know josh said as he bencokened the waiter

 

[Cailst]

"If you're not even sure how to discreetly fight off Jedi and you're also not sure why he wants you to protect him, maybe you should find some sort of new job." Jacob said trying to be helpful.

The waiter began walking towards the two.

"What do you want?" The waiter asked though interested in what Jacob and Josh had been saying.
"I'll have a key lime pie."

At that point, the train descended into the next valley.

 

[Joshua Cratin]

I would like an other cup of wiskey and after that can I have the bill Josh ask after Jacob orerded
