Vadik Kade's Training (redux)

[Solus]

Tourniquet sat, or more like lay, down in his room. His head was on the table, cushioned by a pillow, while his lower body was on the couch, legs draped over the back of the furniture. His tentacle arm's base was folded just so it would be comfortable to lay on his back, though it took him a while to get used to that.

He looked up at the white ceiling, which matched the white floor, rugs, furniture, lighting, appliances...pretty much everything that wasn't white was a pale silver metal, which showed in stark contrast to his casual, comfortable clothing. That's not to say that the design of his furniture wasn't tasteful or comfortable, he just liked to decorate in white. A quirk, if you will.

He was smoking his cigarra, using his tentacle arm to hold the slim, white tube, as his real arms were propped up behind his head and pillow.

He'd gotten stuck with another apprentice. Lovely.

Might as well make the best of it.

The hallway was dark,cold and made of a black stone. Granite maybe, hard to tell, the light wasn't quite bright enough to tell. The air was cold, as if walking in a refrigerator or a walking cool, i could see my breath as i walked farther down the hallway and i could sence a great strength in the force as for i was getting close too my master room.

I heard that this new master of mine was different, just what i need, someone who is deformed or a little on the crazy side teaching me Bogan. I have to laugh when ever i hear some force user talking about the force or Bogan or whatever their version of the same damn thing. I find it quite annoying for it's the same thing and now i have to remember all these names for something which derives from the same thing. Reminds me of religion and don't even get me started on that freaking joke.


Well i can see his door way now so i might as well get ready for this, .... hm i hope this training goes better this time instead of my last trainer, who fell and broke his freaking neck, Dumb ass. Well here it is might as well knock.

Vadik reached out and knocked three times on the door.

 

[Solus]

"Come in," Tourniquet said, closing his eyes and taking another puff of his cigarra. He lifted an arm and pointed in the general direction of the opening door.

"Don't track anything in."

 

[Leviatho]

The door opened and then i was blinded by a sudden bright light. I had to squint my eyes for a second because everything went from really dark to really bright.

I then saw him pointing at the carpet then i actually looked around the room. White? I thought to myself, everything is white, you have got to be kidding me, i mean how the heck does this guy get anything done in his life if he try's to keep this much stuff white.

I heard him say something about " Don't track anything in." So i stood out side his door and an bowed down and presented myself to him.

" Hello my name is Vadik your new apprentice". I stood back up and looked my new master over. he was just lying there with his feet kicked up on a table and a tentacle, which was attached to the back of his neck, was holding the rest of him up.

Strange but i guess there was a purpose for it, why else would he have one. As i stood there i also looked around the solid white room and notice that everything had a place, noting was out of order, so neat. How could this guy truly be a master, I wonder what he excels in, combat? Bogan? Both? Well i guess well have to wait and see.

 

[Solus]

((That's not the position he's in. He's supported by the table. I understand it was weirdly worded so yeah. :p))

"Vadik," Tourniquet repeated, trying to get a feel for the sound of the name. "Sit down," he offered, gesturing to the couches, opening his eyes to get a look at him. He slid his glasses from off his collar, putting them on and moving them around so as to get a good look at him. He then replaced them.

"Cup of caf?"

 

[Leviatho]

(OOC: sorry my bad I only read back threw your post real quick.)

I took off my boots and placed them on the right side of the door. I walked in and sat down on the nearest couch, which happen to be in front of Tourniquet. I held my left hand up and said " no thanks I'm good."

I placed my elbows on my knees and folded my fingers in each other. I looked at my master and asked " So when do we start my training Sire."

 

[Solus]

((No prob. :) ))

"Sire? I could get used to that," Tourniquet said with a small chuckle. "Let's start simple. What's something you hate and/or fear? Not something big and abstract, something simple."

((Sorry so short...))

 

[Leviatho]

I leaned back into the couch, crossed my arms and took a deep breath. No one ever asked me that question before so i could only give him one answer.

" I only have one fear, that is emptiness. Total utter Emptiness, Just the thought of nothing drives me crazy."

Where is this guy going with this, i couldn't take it anymore so I stood up in anger and said " Look Sire, i don't mean to be rude but can we start my training. I cant stand just sitting around and twiddling my thumbs."

By this time my hand really started to twitch, i hate it when i get mad and my hand does this, it takes forever for it to stop shaking. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, then i opened them again and said " Sorry Master.... Im just a bit excited about my training with someone who actually knows what he's doing."

I sat back down on the couch and and waited to see what he had to say.

 

[Solus]

"Too abstract. Try something simpler. Everyone has simple fears and/or hates," Tourniquet said, taking another puff at his cigarra.

One eye popped open at his apprentice's reaction, prompting an eyeroll. "Chill. We're getting there. Can your excitement for when you can actually lash out with it," Tourniquet said, closing his eyes again.

 

[Leviatho]

"Hm... simple ok how bout weakness, i hate weakness. I feel that only the strong shall rule and the weak shall perish."

By this time my hand finally stopped twitching for the most part, a twitch here or there but that's about it.

 

[Solus]

"Nope. Try again. Still to abstract. What's something you hate and/or fear that can be seen? Felt? Heard? Something like that," Tourniquet said, beginning to get a bit frustrated. He didn't want to do this anyway. This really shouldn't be that hard.

((Don't take anything Tourniquet says personally. :p ))

 

[Leviatho]

(( don't worry i won't, the same goes for you, i mean no offense to you or your character))

" Ok you asking these dumb questions is definitely annoying. I don't fear any man or creature and for hate...... This twitching of my hand is definitely annoying."

My damn hand started to shake again for his questions are just annoying. what does some simple hate of fear that means nothing in battle have to do with my training. I mean what the heck is this guy getting. So I asked him " Alright fine, what is something you hate and/or fear that is small and abstract?"

I bet he's going to say trying to keep this room this white.

 

[Solus]

"Yes it is. I ask that you stop it," Tourniquet said, though, eyes being shut, he obviously couldn't see it shaking.

"I could be really random and off-the-wall with my questions. I'm known for that. I'm trying to keep everything on track. I could ask you stupid questions but I don't and I haven't. Answer the kriffing question. Don't tell me that you don't fear any physical thing. Everyone does. Now tell me." Tourniquet said, finally opening his eyes again to look over at his apprentice.

((There has to be something. Everyone does fear something physical, in one way or the other))

 

[Leviatho]

I looked at my Master and i finally broke for if he wants to know the truth then I shall tell him " You are mistaken Sire, for i do fear many things but noting small. Space is my biggest fear, Space as in the Galaxy and the stars and space as in openness of ones mind."

I stood up and clenched my mist in anger, not at my Master but talking about my fears made me defensive. Being a slave and with my training i learned that my feelings would cloud my mind, which my life depended on it.

I then continued " I fear death, not like others where they don't know what happens after wards but i fear it for i have so much to do and little time to do it in. I want people to fear me and know my name and cower in fear whenever i show my face."

I thought to myself " I really hope that this answers his question." Talking about myself is something im not use to and i get a little defensive when i do. Why would one want to know about me, especially one who is to be my master, do i have the potential he is looking for to become a great warrior? A warrior for the Bogan? Or shall i become one with the Force and no one shall never know my name.

 

[Solus]

Tourniquet thought a moment. "That'll do," he said, becoming silent as he allowed himself to delve into thought.

"All right! To the hangar," Tourniquet said, twisting his body around to stand up. He stretched a bit before grabbing a coat on his way out the door.

"We're going to Alderaan."

 

[Leviatho]

I bowed my head down and followed without question. On our way out i grabbed my boots and continued too follow. I didn't bother of putting them on for if i did i would most likely lose my Master in the maze of corridors.

My hand finally became still for now that we're moving im not in that small white room, which in my eyes was far to bright for my taste.

 

[Solus]

"All right," Tourniquet said as he leisurely made his way to the hangar.

"Now, you know, of course, that the Dark Jedi are, at the moment, a covert force. We aren't supposed to exist. Not yet. So, for this, we can't look like Dark Jedi, or anything that might be one. You also must be good at covering your tracks - you cannot be traced back to Ando Prime. So you need to be resourceful," He took a puff of his cigarra, "So, during this session, you will be in charge of getting things done in a covert way. If at any time you blow our cover in the slightest, I will have to kill you. Oh, speaking of that, may I see your lightsaber?"

 

[Leviatho]

Hm.... i wonder why he wants to see my light sabers, eh oh well so i took them both off my wrists and handed them to him. I quickly replied to him " I made them on my own. I didn't like the fact that you have to hold them in your hands, makes it easier to be disarmed. These are alot harder to pull out of my hands and they also easier to hide threw weapons checks and such."

" Plus my hands are free to use the force and also attack with my Light Sabers. As for being detected Sire I will do my best, I learned allot on Kashyyyk for hunting prey and i know when the time is right to strike. No one knows i exist except for my tribesman and you Sire so it'll be hard for someone to track me back to here, i am alone in this world and i shall always stay that way."

I kinda trailed off on that last sentence because it was another subject that i am touchy about and i really didn't want to talk about. I dont think i hid it very well but i don't think he'll ask me about it..... hopefully.

 

[Solus]

Tourniquet snatched up the lightsabers one at a time with his tentacle arm, getting a good look at them as he kept walking. After examining them, he turned them both on.

"Blood red," he said, almost in a bored tone. "All right, their nice, and I'm sure they work fine, but because they're red, you can't use them on this mission. Jedi don't use red lightsabers," he said, confiscating them, putting them in one of the pockets in his jacket.

By then they were almost to the hangar.

 

[Leviatho]

I seen him Tourniquet turn on my light saber and look them over. I kinda puffed up a little bit because i was proud of my blades, not for the color, for the is just a color to me. But because of the craftsmanship of it all, I put a considerible amount of time into blade and i took great pride in them.

After i heard him say "All right, their nice, and I'm sure they work fine, but because they're red, you can't use them on this mission. Jedi don't use red light sabers," and then he put them in his pocket my jaw almost dropped. I kept my cool and my anger down for what could i do for he is my master and must obey...for now.

I followed him to the Hanger, I kept wondering what our mission was, he said something about Jedi and I assumed we must be trying to pass ourselves of as them for why else would he say "Jedi don't use red light sabers," I hope we get to see these other Force users, even meet them in a battle.
