Ask Coruscant Ripples of a Supernova

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"AH!" The large man went to move his arm away from the cut, but he wasn't as fast as the nimble rogue that slashed him. The vibrodagger would rip in and out of the man's large forearm, splattering crimson across the face of one of the gangers next to him. Both men grunted and stumbled back, giving Seela a little more space while two of the other men began to close in on her from her front and back with their daggers at the ready.

The bald gunner she retreated toward raised his blaster pistol, aiming it her center mass. He staggered back for a second seeing the damage that the fine vibrodagger had done to the large man, then would focus his attention back to the Twi'lek. His trigger finger twitched, and then went to pull it as he tried to align the tip of his blaster to the agile girl that neared him. "TCH! You-!!"


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela sprinted to the bald one, grabbing the blanket and tossing it at the man as diversion, crouching low and thrusting the singing blade at a slight upward angle towards center mass of where the bald man is, intending to stab through the blanket.

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"GAH!!" The bald gunner tried to block the black silky blanket from blocking his shot, but it was too floaty and expanded across his upper torso and head. The blaster's blue stun ring would fly over the side of Seela's shoulder as it went wide and dropped one of the two men that closed in the girl. Still unable to see, the gunner was unable to avoid or block the teal vibrodagger as it stabbed in deep and ripped through the man's ribs. He'd screamed out loudly and stagger back before falling to the metallic ground.

The large man was grunting through his teeth and clenching the very large gash in his arm, while the other goon to his side was borderline freaking out and trying to get the larger man's blood out of his eyes.

The other man that had been approaching Seela went to wrap his arms up under her shoulders and around her neck, then would brace his feet next to hers in order to grapple the smaller Twi'lek from behind, meaning his body would slam up against and pin her lekku if she wasn't able to avoid the grab.


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela was distracted by her unexpected success, and the weird glee she felt at finally fighting back. She didn't even realise it, but Seela was grinning from the thrill.
Reality came back to her when she suddenly found herself grappled from behind, her shoulder immobilized by one of the goons.

Blast!

Seela wasn't having fun anymore!
Still with the gorgeous borrowed dagger, she swung madly to the back, hoping to get that farking bantha poodoo away from her lekkus, which were currently pinned quite painfully!

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

The bald gunner grunted and groaned as he pulled the blanket against his wound with his left hand, then raised his shaky right hand to the girl who was restrained and wide open in front of him. With a deep breath he'd focus his aim, steadied his hand, and pulled the trigger just as she went to stick the dagger into the man that took the risk to keep her held.


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela was too busy trying to stab the dude holding her, that she was surprised when she felt a sudden jolt of pain, and all her body tensed up, before her vision faded to black.

@AdventCore

 

[The Storyteller]

Seela's unconscious body would be hogtied by the few gangsters that survived the encounter unscathed. Kyo's black silky blanket was cut up and used by another one of the men to temporarily patch up the two that'd been wounded by the Knight's elegant vibrodagger, which had been collected by one of the men before the entire group would leave the scene.

The gang members that managed to stun Seela would keep her sedated after they captured her and took her back to their hideout deeper in the City of Spires. The slave's clothes would be partially ripped while the injured gangers roughly transported her unconscious body a few hundred levels below the one they'd found and defeated her at. Back at their base she'd be left in a small dark box of a room.


And so the separated pair of individuals, Seela and Kyosuke, remained unconscious, completely unaware of the passing of time or even the condition of their own bodies as they were vulnerable and helpless to those around them...


~~~


Nearly a full rotation passed as night turned to dawn, then to day, dusk, and finally back to night. Around 23 hours had gone by since Seela and Kyosuke had split ways and gone unconscious...


Seela would remain sedated during most of the time, perhaps dipping in and out of consciousness between doses used to keep her under. She was a product to be sold to a big client, so the gang didn't want her roughed up anymore than what had already happened to her. The girl being under the entire time also meant she'd be less of a hassle while they waited for the buyer to show up. She'd remain bound and gagged until then, with a ball of cloth torn from her own clothes taped between her teeth and lips.


Kyosuke's body would recover pretty well in the time that passed thanks to the bacta tank. The poisons had mostly been neutralized by the antidotes he'd been given, but some of the effects would continue to linger for a little longer. Gremlin continued to wait at the edge of the glass on top of the tank, hunkered down in his sleep mode to preserve power, since he wasn't sure how long it would take his bestie to recover. He had at the very least found the controls to release Kyo's shackles, allowing the Shadow's limbs to float freely in the bacta until he'd finally manage to regain consciousness.​

@AdventCore @Ahryia

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

Kyosuke's azure eyes flashed open as he awoke from a nightmare of an event he no longer remembered. It played again in his mind, hundreds of hands reaching for him and dragging theirs fingers across his skin. His heartbeat quickened, his breath grew heavy, and his anxiety began to choke his chest.

The young Knight flew up, bonking his head on the bacta tank with a quickness. He winced and released a muffled groan, his mouth still blocked by the breathing apparatus between his lips. Gremlin powered up, stood tall, and cheered as he saw and felt his bestie stir for the first time since the night before. The little scout droid would when tap a button to initiate the draining process of the bacta in the tank before he'd jump over to the counter nearby where Kyo's boots and equipment waited for him.

The lid to the tank popped open as Kyo pushed his hand up against it, letting some of the liquid inside fall against the floor around the tank. Drains around the slightly tilted floor would collect any of the excess overflow while the young man planted his feet down onto the wet floor. The form of a lavender Twi'lek flashed through Kyosuke's mind, a silver shock collar around her neck, pearl orbs glimmering in her eyes as she stared into his. Then she faded to black as she became a silhouette against the glow of hyperspace and the ripples of a supernova.

He couldn't understand what he saw.

'Sea... something...' He'd push his hand against the side of his head as he tried to remember more about the girl, but all that seemed to come to him was a few shots of her on her knees with the collar around her neck. 'When did I get a slave? Why did I get a slave?' His brain would take some more time to recover from the adverse side effects of the chemicals that ravaged it, not that he'd realized that. He was a bit distracted by the thought as he sluggishly took the breathing apparatus out of his mouth and dropped it against the bed of the tank.

Gremlin would suddenly grab his attention, hopping up and down next to the young man's equipment as he beeped and whined about some "Seela" that had apparently left last night and never returned like she was supposed to many hours ago.

"Seela?" Kyo rubbed his head a little more, then let his hands rest on the edge of the bacta tank. "Is that my servant's name?" He was having a difficult time recalling much about the girl, but he felt something in his chest telling him that they shared some sort of strong bond. The droid's response confirmed his suspicion regarding the girl he'd seen the flashes of, though Gremlin didn't say whether or not the girl was actually his servant. The droid was also a bit distracted -- by the urgency that he felt his bestie should be sharing right now. "Grem, how long was I out for? Why am I here?"

The little scout droid would chirp wildly, near the verge of throwing a tantrum as he reminded Kyo that Seela had been gone for far too long, and that he was worried about her. He'd go on to inform his bestie of the gear she'd taken with her, and finally added on at the end that Kyo had been out for pretty much an entire rotation. Grem would then hesitate as he realized that Kyo was beginning to show signs of memory loss, possibly going back as far as when he'd found his bestie unconscious where the Knight's bounty had left him for dead. If Gremlin hadn't shown up with their last medical stim pack during that time...

"I was poisoned? When?" Kyo looked curiously at Gremlin as he got up, bacta still dripping off his damp lithe body while he slightly stumbled toward a towel hanging on the end of the bacta tank. "Uhnff.. Maybe I should wait a little longer..." Gremlin didn't like that, he whimpered loudly and pawed at Kyo's boots, hoping his bestie would be able to pull himself together enough to search for her.

"Right... I get it. We should go save our friend, if there's anything even left of her to rescue." A heavy sigh escaped the young man as he considered the types of people he was familiar with, which were pretty much all nefarious scum from the galaxy's edge. "You said she took the comm bracelet, right?" Kyo took the towel and would begin to dry himself with it while Grem beeped affirmatively. "Alright good. We'll be able to track her no problem then." Purpose then swelled across the Shadow. He'd turn, approach his equipment, and begin to don all of it before he finally spoke under his breath, "hopefully she's okay."


@Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela came to, and immediatly groaned. She felt like she'd been thrown around quite a bit, and her brain was pulsing. And she still had that nasty taste in her mouth...
Taking stock, the twi'lek realised that she was tied up ankles and wrists together, and gagged. Her body felt stiff, like she had been lying like that for a while.
Seela then cast her senses to her surrounding, noting that she was in a small dark room. One door, no windows. The door was closed, and she was alone in the room, but the bastards who had taken her couldn't be far.
Seela felt somewhat sluggish, her tought processes slower than usual. They probably drugged her... oh well, been there, done that!
The young woman then investigated her bonds, in the chance that she could manage to untie them.
Seela found herself annoyed when she concluded that those who tied her up knew what they were doing, keeping the knots in places where she couldn't bend her wrists to access them... it was very good work... how inconvenient...
There wasn't a whole lot she could be doing currently, besides waiting for her situation to change. Seela, however, wasn't too keen on being sedated again, or more heavily restrained, so she decided against making a fuss. She would just wait here, silently, faking still being out if needed.
And so Seela waited. And got bored.
She was BORED!!!!
Scolding herself on her lack of patience, and throwing a mental tantrum, Seela opted to center herself. She needed to stay calm. Getting angry or panicking would only worsen her situation. She had to keep her head straight. They'd have to open that door at some point. Things had to happen...
The fact that she hadn't been beaten and used was a huge relief, and a big hint that the men seemed to want to keep her in relatively good condition. That meant that either they were waiting on a buyer, or trying to get a ransom. She wondered if they would try to contact her former master, or Kyosuke.
Oh, Kyosuke! That's right! He should be feeling way better by now, she supposed. Seela didn't know how long she had been out, but she knew that bacta made you heal faster, so...
Oh, and Gremlin! Poor little buddy must be worried by now, since she said she would return in only a few hours!
Seela wondered if Kyosuke would bother searching for her. After all, she had left of her own volition. Maybe he would just think she had decided to go on her own way... Seela couldn't blame him if he didn't search for her! He had already done so much for her, with pretty much nothing in return! Plus it seemed this place was unsafe for force users... Yeah, he would probably just take Gremlin, and go away from here... he should! Really, Seela hoped that's what he did! Just... get his supplies and leave quickly!
Even if being reckless and attempting to rescue her sounded very much like something Kyosuke would do, he couldn't be that stupid, could he? She wasn't worth that much trouble!
Nope, Kyosuke was absolutely leaving this stupid planet! He had to!

[The Storyteller]

@Seela
The apparent slave would be left alone for several more minutes, before the metal door to her small dark room would eventually hiss open. Two men approached, one was a smaller guy with a round pair of glasses and short unkempt hair. He carried a filled hypo-syringe and had a long duster, which mostly covered his ammo belt and pair of blasters. "You sure about this, Bol? Boss told us to leave her alone."

The other man, Bol, who walked in next was the larger bulkier dude that Seela had slashed using Kyo's vibrodagger. His arm was in a sling and wrapped with several bandages. It seemed that her strike had devastated his muscles and bones in his forearm, rendering the arm nearly useless in its current condition. A furious expression was on his face. "Screw this bitch! She killed Kenn!" The giant took a few steps forward, crossing the gap to the hogtied Twi'lek in a second before he suddenly pulled his good hand back, and whipped it forward to strike the girl across the left side of her face with the back of his hand and knuckles. He'd then grin and growl at her as he lowered his form and leaned in close to her with his face. His eyes narrowed in on her as he watched the helpless girl and grinned at her wildly...


@Kyosuke Yamato
The small medical clinic where Kyo had finally recovered was a little busier this night than when he'd arrived with Seela. Some commossion and muffled noises could be heard coming from the other side of the closed door that led to the rejuvenation chamber, which the Knight was still getting dressed in. His armorweave clothes, which had been damaged in the fight against the bounty he failed to capture the other night, were nowhere to be seen. Instead, a pair of dark blue jeans and a much darker greyish blue hoodie were folded up next to his gear. A small pair of black boxers were next to the clothes as well. Not that any of them would fit him perfectly.

Also next to the equipment were two medical stim packs and an adrenaline shot that had been left by the staff, just in case he would need any of them when he woke. The doctor, nurse, and medical droid were all currently busy, and were nowhere near Kyo -- for now...


@AdventCore @Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela had expected something to happen eventually. The giant dude coming in to beat her was a relatively unexpected one, but when she heard the man she had stabbed died, it made more sense. Seela hadn't had a real beating in a little while, but she could still roll with the blows, and endure very well! Sadly, being hogtied would certainly hinder her, and take away any defensive move she might have tried. She would just have to take it, and hope it didn't last too long!

That being said, when the blow came, it sent her flying to the side, her neck twinging in protest to the sudden sharp movement. Seela's ears were ringing, and she could taste blood in her mouth, probably from a cut in her cheek, or a split in her lip. She was fairly certain she hadn't bitten her tongue... The blow hurt a lot, more than she expected, and she could feel the whole side of her face already bruising and swelling. That certainly wouldn't be pretty in a few hours!

Blinking to clear the stars from her eyes, Seela kept her gaze on the floor, knowing that she needed to avoid making the giant more angry. She kept her demeanor meek and open, offering no opposition nor resistance to the man. She still let the pain show on her face, as dissimulating it would only lead him to feel challenged, and hit harder. So she hid no pain, and let the tears run down her face freely. Hopefully, the smaller man would interfere before long!

[Kyosuke Yamato]

Kyosuke scoffed and rolled his eyes as he shimmied into the slim jeans, which somehow weren't tight enough at the waist and hung low on his thin hips. He grumbled under his breath and tightened his black leather utility belt around the pants to hopefully keep them from slipping off and exposing the undersized black boxers he'd swapped out with his silky briefs. The hoodie he pulled on, which was nearly completely black, was slightly too short, not fully covering his exposed hip line.

There was a slight puff of the cheek from the young man as he tugged at the open hoodie's bottom and tried to pull it down so it would cover him, but he couldn't get it to cover his hips. "They really couldn'tve given me an oversized shirt to go with these?" He shifted and squirmed somewhat as he curled his abs and leaned back to look at himself. The various wounds across his body had almost completely healed, though he couldn't recall getting most of them. A few small marks remained that would recover fully given enough time. Kyo then slowly ran a fingertip across what was once a large gash at his side, which had become a thin bronze scar. 'When did I get this?'

The image of a concealed wrist-blade sinking into his side flashed through his mind. The young man flinched and shook his head, the image dissipated as quickly as it had appeared. Kyo winced and failed to hold back a grunt as he gripped the side of his head where a sharp pain had momentarily stabbed at his temporal lobe. 'The kriff... What's happened to me...? Must be the poisons or something...' It passed just as quick, and he gradually released his head as he turned to the rest of his equipment.

Gremlin cooed worriedly up at his bestie, unable to help the young man cope with the after effects of his treatment. "It's okay, buddy. I'm fine." The Shadow steadied himself and zipped up the hoodie, blushing sightly as he looked down and saw there was almost an entire inch between the top of his pants and the bottom of his hoodie. The new outfit he wore was going to take some getting used to. "W-whatever -" The young man cleared his throat and tried to focus on equipping his inventory. "- this will have to do. For now."

Once the rest of his gear was crammed into all the available space that his boots, belt, and new attire all provided, Kyo then plucked both medical stim packs up off the counter. "Grem, hold onto these." He'd then motion for Gremlin and put the two stims into the droid's equipment hopper, where one half of his split-saber still resided. He'd then swept the adrenaline booster into his left pocket, barely getting it to fit alongside his security spike, which would be somewhat poking out of the pocket. "Alright." He clipped the DG-34 Peacemaker in its holster to the right backside corner of his belt, then pulled his black shock gloves on over both hands. "That's everything. Let's get out of here, buddy."

Gremlin beeped up affirmatively to his bestie, then leapt onto the Knight's back and hunkered down like he was a little backpack. He'd then project a map of the nearby area for Kyo over the young man's shoulder. The map zoomed out and panned all the way over to the docking bay where the Shinigami was still parked. "Yeah, we'll have Shini help us locate the bracelet's signal. Good thing they're already synced." He considered trying to reach the girl over the integrated comms in the device, but he didn't want to risk the chance that he'd get her caught or reveal the fact that the inconspicuous accessory was actually more than it appeared to be.

The holo-map then disappeared as the scout droid deactivated it. The young man approached the large window at the back of the room, looking over the dark cityscape with his bright blue eyes before he slapped a button on the control panel next to it. The window would rise, disappearing into the metal wall above it while a small loading platform slightly larger than the bacta tank extended outward from the bottom of the window seal.

Without hesitation, Kyo would step out onto the edge of the platform while it continued to extend. It would then stop while he lowered his gaze to the city level below them, and dropped from view.

[The Storyteller]

@Seela
Bol let out a throaty chuckle as he raised his hand in front of Seela's face, revealing a small device in his hand. "You know what this is?" He held a small remote, which the slave would immediately be able to recognize as a control for activating shock collars. The large man would then stretch a sinister smirk across his lips as he pressed one of its buttons.

A new thin black shock collar around the girl's neck, just above her silver torque, would suddenly kick in with a mild shock. "Just so you know what's gonna happen to ya if ya act up." Bol would then grunt like an ape at the smaller man near the door, nodding his chin up at the individual at the same time.

The man in the duster behind Bol would look away, then tapped the controls to shut and lock the door to the room. He'd then slip a cap on the hypo-syringe, tuck it into one of his large duster pockets, and begin to approach the rope that kept Seela restrained. "Try not to take this too far, dude. Remember what happened to the last one."

"Shut up and do it, Cross. We can always jack another hypo-spray if we need to patch her up, and don't forget -- that's why we keep you around here." Bol snapped back at the man in the duster, who watched the giant quietly. Cross would then push up the bridge of his glasses with his middle finger, shake his head, then kneel down and cautiously begin to undo the girl's bindings.

The larger man growled down at Seela and pinned the side of her face he'd slapped against the cold metal floor using the backside of his good wrist. The remote remained in his hand, his thumb at the ready to push while he'd press down against her head with a great amount of force." Don't even think about it, or I'll hold this button down until you're out!"


@Kyosuke Yamato
The level below the falling Shadow would be easy enough to land on without taking much damage, though his muscles would prove to be a little sluggish given that he'd only recently recovered from more than 40 hours of intense inactivity.

The level above, which connected the clinic to the docking bay, was busier than the one it overshadowed. Kyosuke would be able to move quickly through the area without drawing much attention to himself since barely anyone else was down there at this time of night. No nefarious criminals would be there to stop him, and he wasn't wanted or anything of the sort, so he'd find it rather easy to pass through at a quick pace without any real conflicts.

The Shinigami would still be where the party left it, the cargo lift had closed long ago, shortly after everyone had left Shini alone. A ramp from the lower floor would lead Kyo back up to the docking bay, where his ship patiently awaited his return.


@AdventCore @Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela's eyes widened at seeing the remote. Yes, she knew very well what it was. Master and the nikto at the club always held hers... so, what did this one--

*shock*

Seela's vision went white, all her muscles locking up, trying to curve in a ball, and being prevented by the ropes. Pain! Pain everywhere! And it was gone. Seela laid on the ground, trying to catch her breath. Her muscles still giving light spasms, and achy.
Seela would whimper weakly voiceat the man, but otherwise showed no hint of resistance.

Son a bantha-shitting jawa-farting utapaun! That hurt! Which is why you usually avoid needing punishment!

Seela made a few noises of discomfort when Cross touched the ropes, as they had slightly cut in her skin during the shock, but again, didn't bat an eyelash at what was done to her.
Seela cried out, however, when the giant saw fit to squish her face on the floor very painfully. Seela was starting to worry they might have broken her face, by how much her cheekbone hurt, but otherwise, Seela again, contented herself to stay still and endure. She could do that. She was trained for that. Pain was an old friend. She knew what she needed to do at this point. All Seela needed to do, was to retreat in her mind, disconnect from her body, close herself to it, and wait for the men to be done.
And so, Seela slowed her breath, and her eyes somewhat glazed over, the sounds muffled, the pain still present, but distant. Seela ceased to exist for those moments, plainly becoming nothing more than a slab of flesh. If you don't exist, they can't hurt you...

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

"Shini, open the cargo lift." The young Knight whispered into the comm-link that had been stashed in his black leather utility belt, while he and Gremlin made their way up the ramp to his ship's docking bay.

"Affirmative, Key-Oh." The pleasant young feminine voice of the Shinigami's AI responded, muffled by the Shadow's hand as he slipped the device back into his custom Jedi utility belt. The vac-seal of the lift wheezed then gradually would begin to lower. By the time it had nearly lowered to the ground Kyo would hop barely a foot onto the platform, then pressed the lift control to take him to the upper deck.

Within a few moments Kyosuke would ascend into the warm cozy dim-lit lounge of his ship and home. He'd take in a big breath, stretch out upper body, and proceeded to the nearby holo-table. "Shini, project the location of my comm bracelet."

"The current location of your designated device is approximately 3,000 levels below us, on Coruscant level 1,997." Shini responded as a holographic portion of the 1,997th floor of the cityworld was projected above the holotable. A small red dot resided deep in a set of buildings that tucked near the back corner of the district, nearly on the edge of a large gap that connected the levels to a throughway they'd be able to use to get down there.

"Well then, we'd better get going. Grem, download that map of that area and a couple of the nearby levels, we're not going to want to fly right up to their base of operations." Kyo's bright blue eyes studied the map, analyzing the layout as he tried to commit the exits and pathways to memory. Gremlin hooted affirmatively, then would hop down from his bestie's back to plug into the bottom of the holotable. "Shini, get us to Coruscant level 2,000. And try to blend us in with the scenery down there so we don't stick out."

"Understood. Prepping for take off." The Shinigami's engines would whirl up, the thrusters would kick on, and after a few moments the ship would gradually begin to lift into the air.

Kyosuke took in a deep breath, then closed his eyes and tried to calm his mind as he began to reach his Sense far below him, searching for any sign of the one that echoed in his heart and mind. 'Seela...' He'd attempt to reach out through the Force to find her, to let her know that he was still on the planet, looking for her. And to find out if she could feel him, maybe even hopefully find any sign that might let him know how she was doing, and if she was really where he thought she was. 'I'm here for you... I'm coming...'


@Ahryia

 

[The Storyteller]

@Seela
Over the next several minutes the slave would be untied, then pulled up onto the tips of her toes and retied with her wrists bound tightly above her head in a double column. The expertly tied rope was then secured to a fixture affixed to the ceiling, which would cause Seela's short stature to just barely be able to reach the ground. Cross would try to be gentle with her wrists, but didn't make the knots loose enough for her to slip out of.

Bol stood by with the shock remote, an eager grin and gutteral chuckle in his throat as he slowly paced in front of his helpless prey. His dark eyes lusciously scanned the girl up and down, but the anger that he felt over his friend's death kept him conflicted and unstable. "Take her things and see if she has anything else on her. And be thorough Cross. I don't want any more surprises out of our little kitten."

Cross tipped his head down with an obedient nod, keeping his mouth shut so he didn't provoke the giant any further. He'd then approach the restrained girl, and would very thoroughly begin to frisk her, checking every bit nook and cranny for anything she could be hiding. The credits in her bosom, the vibrodagger sheath between her shoulderblades, the comm bracelet, and any other jewelry or accessories and any other equipment including her high heels would all be removed and placed on a counter to the side.

Once Cross had confirmed that the frisk was complete and the girl had been completely stripped of all her gear, aside from her ripped up clothing, Bol would then approach her closely. The giant sneered as he recalled her stabbing Kenn and the man dying in his arms. Unable to contain himself the large man would eventually snap and lash out, his oversized fist slamming hard into the girl's gut, and then again across her ribs. "I'll make sure you pay, you karking bitch!"


@Kyosuke Yamato
Nobody seemed to be around the docking bay while the Knight left in his ship. The air-traffic around him wouldn't be too bad this time of night. The massive airway around him would dip down a few hundred levels, which would allow the ship to navigate through a few similar corridors to gradually reach the 1,997th level of Coruscant.


@AdventCore @Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela stayed limp, not resisting, but not helping. A slab of flesh doesn't do things, after all. She had a far off gaze, and barely whimpered when she was hoisted up by her wrists. Her head hung low between her arms, her toes barely dragging on the ground. Seela was busy very much not existing. It was like she was a spectator, watching things happen from outside of her body.
Seela cried out against the gag when the brute struck, but still didn't react more than that. Seela wasn't. There was no Seela...

@AdventCore

 

[Kyosuke Yamato]

By the time the Shinigami lowered into the 2,000th level of Coruscant, Kyosuke Yamato had climbed up through the dorsal airlock onto the top of his ship. Gremlin had finished his download of the map, and was clinging to Kyo's back with both excitement and fear as the pair appeared on the outer hull of the fine sleek starship. Kyo used his magnetic grapple to anchor himself to the top of the ship, securing the Peacemaker back into his holster to keep himself tethered.

"Don't worry buddy, we'll find her." He'd Sensed a flicker of muffled pain from the direction they were headed when he specifically felt out through the Force for Seela. He could only assume it was her that he'd connected with, even if it was only for a brief second. "She's out there. She's alive." 'Though she might not be well...' He'd then began to glance around the open areas for potential disembarking spots he could use to begin his approach to her location.


@Ahryia

 

[The Storyteller]

@Seela
Bol would continue to unleash his unbridled emotions on Seela as each minute passed. He'd throw a few more punches across her mid-section before Cross would finally take a step forward. "Bol -"

"I know!" The giant held the back of his hand an inch away from the restrained girl's face. "Go get a hypo-spray." He'd slowly turn his disgruntled expression to Cross, who gulped nervously and nodded before he'd head back through the door and leave. The door would hiss shut behind him, leaving Seela alone with the large man, who slowly turned his head back toward the bruised girl and put the shock remote in his other hand.

"We're just getting started." Bol would then grab her face, wrapping his fingers up across her cheeks while his palm rested up under her chin so he could lift it and look into her empty eyes. "Don't you worry. We've got all night. Nobody is gonna come for you, -slave-."

@Kyosuke Yamato
A tight cluster of rooftops by a flickering clothing shop was near the Shinigami and only a couple levels below its bow, which would give Kyo his closest and most direct path down to the 1,998th for. Barely anyone was around the dark area, which currently meant the Shadow was still undetected while Shini did her best to keep the ship behind billboards and other objects to remain out of sight.


@AdventCore @Ahryia

 

[Seela]

Seela was numb. Empty. Floating in her own empty mind. Even the pain from the body, which was actually her body, was far away from her... it was peaceful, here... wherever "here" is... this holodrama was definitely boring... wish she could change the channel... there was just... nothing out here... no one... the void welcomed her... like an old friend...

@AdventCore
