A not so average day

[Tristyn]

Listening to the man behind her speak, she crossed her arms and interrupted as he said she was disrespectful,"I have little respect for the Jedi because of what my parents did. They were both Jedi and one was even a Master. They knew I was Force sensitive before I was even born, but they refused to teach me anything because I was so 'dark and cold', but when my sister was born they did not hesitate to teach her about the Order and all that jazz. It was so unfair and bias! How can they...?"

looks at the man hearing him scorn the woman whom she had just met. As he seemed to busying himself with something. Listening to his words of the Jedi and how they had fought a war. Watching him closely as she then looks towards the Woman again to see how she would react to all of this. The talk of the Jedi whom she seemed to be so against but also to the words that were trying to as the man put it be teaching them a lesson.

She began to ponder on what he had said about the galaxy and how that there were places that focused on helping each other find peace and also of meditation. She had her blue eyes locked upon him, part of her hair had fallen down across one of her eyes. Though she did not brush it away, even not it required cutting being longer than she usually would find acceptable.

She noticed him taking a bite from the fruit leaving it, it was in that moment that she felt the fruit leaving her hands first. She had noticed the tension of the muscles but even by that point it was only a fraction of a second before it had left her hand . Watching at the man seemed to make it almost a seamless motion. As he held the fruit that she had once held in his hand reaching to remove his own from his mouth.

Raising her head a bit to knock the hair from her eyes. There was a look of curiosity at how fast the man had done it but also annoyance that the fruit had been so easily taken.

She looked towards the woman briefly. Remaining silent for a few moments before taking in a deep breath and speaking

"The Jedi from what she has said offer extremes by the sounds of it as that of a thief of a mercenary would. Be it that of paid to do a job regardless of the task and doing it as they see fit, or doing it by a code or restrictions that they choose to live by. That is what I am gathering from her, She speaks of unfairness in choosing a favourite child over helping both equally. That then contradict what you have said about finding peace, instead of doing so they have caused anger and hate towards them which is their own doing by the sounds of it. No one is born angry or cruel as the Galaxy has made them. That is the first part I find wrong in my understanding of what you are saying. But then you say they are finding peace within themselves, you speak of peace but then next you speak about being a weapon. Surely if there is peace or seek it there is no need for a weapon. Why would a person need a weapon if they seek peace ? is that just not enforcing or dominating over guidance ?. You sound as though you just fight and fight. Your speed of which you took my fruit from me, you have learned to survive in this harsh world, but does that mean you would use brute force against spice addiction or.........gambling problems ?"

she said the word gambling with hesitation, it struck a nerve in her and caused her to feel a pang of sadness but anger at the thought, It brought up some old memories she did not want to think of

"if you did would that only be the same as pulling a blade that is slowly killing someone from their chest, and expecting them to survive as they bleed out onto the street. Or taking away a chance to earn money back to pay for their gambling. Sure you remove their ability to gamble but you don't remove their debt.......so then because the people no longer have a steady income they seek to collect their debt......"

Crow was now breathing quicker and becoming locked on a memory, remembering the night of her past all too well, it was coming to the forefront in her mind. Causing her body to tense up and almost shake a bit

"As they seek their money......unable to collect unable to find enough for trade.....they take a child instead, oh but the father and Mother would try and stop them sure......but these Mercenaries are the kind that are paid to do a job regardless of what task, the woman and man are only in the way so they remove that from the equation......killing them.....letting them die in front of children to young and too scared to protect themselves. That forces then a child to run........leaving their sister, their friend behind........the one that she swore to protect screaming for help......unable to help breaking a promise through the blood of their family IS THAT FAIR ! IS THAT WHAT BEING A WEAPON IS ! IS THAT WHAT YOU WOULD CHOOSE TO DO TO REMOVE THE PROBLEM ! TO RIP IT AWAY AND CAUSE DAMAGE BY PEOPLE TRYING TO DO GOOD AND BEING TOO BLINDED TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT THEIR SO CALL NOBLE ACTION WOULD DO !"

Crow was now shaking in anger, her hands clenched in fists, it was not the Man before her fault by a long shot. But it was simply that the conversation had caused her young mind to fall upon the memory of a past that always haunted her to this day. She was scared by that past, it had formed her into the person she was today and for someone to speak so easily of removing a problem that she had gone over countless times when she could not sleep, or went hungry at night, or would wake up screaming at. It caused her to become overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions.

 

[Tristyn]

After hearing the girl's outburst she couldn't help but feel sympathetic, even despite her own dark and cold nature. She attempted to hug her and said, "Hey, hey! Calm down. It's alright!"

 

[Davin Jusik]

The twin suns that sat millions of miles away from that o' so famous backwater world reflected dimly off of a tinted set of goggles typically worn by spacers and pilots. Beneath the goggles sat the bright eyes of a man who'd worn many masks in his relatively short life. A beard complimented the shaggy shoulder length head of hair he'd sported for this particular assignment. His roughneck appearance was offset by an expensive looking watch, jacket, and blaster pistol on his hip. Typical of a successful smuggler who through organizational affiliation wasn't afraid to walk the streets flaunting what he had in a town infamous for it's thieving. Davin Jusik, the former Anaxes Police Officer turned Imperial Agent, was masquerading as his oldest and most criminally successful alias, that of a Black Sun Enforcer by the name of Montag "Hammer" Card. After Davin had helped shut down the cell operating on his homeworld he'd sent his alias underground and avoided the inevitable "house cleaning" that had followed the fall. Years later and with the help of a few contacts within the galactic underworld Davin decided to reactivate Montag, after discovering the Suns had pinned the wrong man as an informant, who after killing they'd labeled the whole situation as avenged. No one was after his handle, and with the wealth of trust he'd gained throughout the criminal realm as Montag, Davin would've seen it as a travesty to simply let him die.

So with the blessing of Imperial Command he reasserted Montag into the universe. An action that he himself had very mixed feelings about.

The action had naturally led him to what had been described as a wretched hive of scum and villainy to seek out old associates who'd scattered to the winds, infiltrate again, and disrupt any sort of illegal activity he could. Such seemed to be his lot in life.

As the Agent strolled along the various side streets in a state of contemplation his concentration was momentarily shattered by a bout of angry shouting, originating from a younger human female it seemed. Gleaming the end bit about noble action piqued his interest enough for him to divert his path, locate the source of the noise and by proxy the three beings, and lean against a nearby wall with a half interested grin. He lit up a cigarette as he observed the small group, waiting for more "civil" discourse to be thrown at one or the other and potentially joining in if he felt compelled to by one particular point or another.

 

[Richie B.]

Triton noticed how the woman was beginning to freak out and knew if he did not do something about it she might go in a panicked state, dropping the fruits the warrior placed his hand near her ear, an using the force to agument himself. Triton created a powerful snap that would cause the girl to snap out of it, her ear would be rigging and would have trouble standing straight but Triton didn't care about the man that decided to spy on them, thanks to Triton's increased hearing the warrior heard the lighting of the cigarette.

Realizing that right now the warrior needed to help calm her down if she didn't snap out of it with the snap of his fingers which would almost deafen her for a time, the warrior would rap his arm around the girl hand would begin to hush her hoping to calm her down allowing his Wan-Shen to fall to the ground. Though Triton was not one for emotions he knew when someone needed a hug hopefully though the woman didn't mind it came from a stranger.

"Listen whatever happened in the past is just that in the past. Its over your alright now, your safe we are here an we will protect you." Triton hoped the Torguta would go along with this since the warrior didn't know what else to do in this situation.

"Me and my order is nothing like that nor are the Jedi for that matter, I have meet Jedi I am even friends with a few there might be a bad apple in the group but in the end their order is there to protect everyone though right now they are being hunted down by the Sith, they continue to fight for us all. An my order will be there to pick up the slack so listen you will be protected, though we are few in numbers we will not stop to defend anyone even if it meant giving our own lives." Triton could only hope that this would help the girl but not being good with emotions the warrior wasn't sure if it would work or not.

Triton would place his hand on the back of the girls head in case he needed to knock her out for her own good hopefully the hug would help, placing her hand on his chest she would notice the numerous scars on him but they were old wounds that did not matter nor hurt the man anymore.

 

[Croywn Denimore]

She was now breathing hard taking in heavy breaths, her teeth almost grinding against each other. Feeling the touch of the attempted hug first from the woman she held ridged trying to pull away from it.

She had not noticed the arrival of another person into the situation nor was she aware of them listening in on what was happening here. Nor did she have time, the next thing that she would clearly remember would be a painful ringing in one of her ears. It was as though someone had hit her directly against the ear with a cupped hand. This caused her to wince and almost stumble backwards. Which would only mean she would have been welcome by the creates she had been attempting to hide behind earlier.

Her hands and arms in reaction to this but also because of how her head was and what she was feeling at the moment went up to protect her head but also went up almost defensively. Feeling the hand hand around her in an attempt to what felt like a hug coming her way she instantly went bolt straight and ridged. Taking in deep breaths swallowing some saliva. She was refusing to allow herself to continue to be angry or to show she was upset in front of people. People couldn't see her like this, she didn't like them to see this part of her

"I'm Fine..........I'm fine.........it was nothing......its fine.................but you didn't answer my questions.......why would you need a weapon if you are seeking to be peaceful ?"

She was attempting to divert the attention away from herself again, not wanting it to be focused on her or what had just happened. It was the first thing she could think of

 

[Richie B.]

Triton knew it wasn't nothing an would let go of the girl but would be ready if she needed help again, listening to the girl he let out a sign realizing she wanted answer but the warrior was ready to answer her, just wished she wasn't in such a bad state of mind. The Matukai has seen people at their low and it is usually best to talk with them about something happy or help them forget about it, but a depressing conversation about how the Matukai help the galaxy is not one Triton would have with some in this state.

"We seek to create peace by stopping those mercenaries before they hurt another young girl, I have fought with pirates with slavers, we monsters and demons but the point isn't for me to become peaceful, no we the Matukai are forged by the light to fight the darkness a job that is never complete but we never stop either. We continue our duty to the galaxy until our last breath I know we weren't there for you when you needed it, but do you wish to stop what happened to you before it happens to another young girl? That is what I offer, I swear on my mothers grave that if you come with me I will help you stop the evil that lurks within this galaxy though I might never truly help heal the wounds in your heart we can make sure no one else has to grow up without a family." Triton knew that this talk might trigger more emotions in the young girl but it was the answer that she was looking for so Triton gave it to her, looking to the other girl he looked a bit emotionless but was willing to offer the same deal to the Torguta.

"I can do the same for you young one?" Triton knew that most likely the Torguta might not accept but he still had to make the offer.

 

[Tristyn]

Rayla rolled her eyes and prepared to leave the alleyway,"Not interested" She allowed the two to speak in private and bumped into the man with the cigarette and walked off.

 

[Croywn Denimore]

Feels the man releasing her as she took in a few deep breaths calming herself some. She heard the sigh that was given from the man that was there. Looking at him closely almost judging to see what his answer would give, to see if there was any sign of lies in his words and facial expressions of what he might say next.

She listened to what he had to say, not interrupting him nor stopping him in his words. She just stood and listened, thinking on what he was saying about stopping people before they hurt another person, how he had fought. Of duty that they had to the galaxy to their last breath. Was that really something worth doing, to fight for a galaxy that most of the time did not care one way or another. And then to hear how they were not there for her, as though it was a way of saying sorry for allowing the past to happen. It caused her to be puzzled for a moment by that notion but she did not show it.

She looked over to the woman whom had been offered the same thing to be trained, hearing her speak before walking off. Only a few moments ago had this person offered to teach her in some way shape or form or rather explain aspects perhaps. This caused her to frown a bit, would it be the same if she agreed with this man here for such a thing.

Slowly her eyes looked back towards the figure that stood there. Taking in a deep breath

"thank you for the honest answer at least, but to fight so longer and so hard, you would welcome yourself to see horrors also. To live with them every day for the rest of your life till the day you die. Is it worth it ? is it worth continuing this fight ? If you can tell me now that if you were given a second chance at things, if you were given the option to not have to of fought so much to survive or to protect and you would not take it. Then perhaps........perhaps a life were you can help and feel no shame is a life that might be worth learning"

 

[Richie B.]

Triton was not surpised by the fact that the Torguta woman left though he wished she had joined his order the warrior knew the force had other plans for the young woman, but for now he focused on the young woman in front of him who seemed to be coming around. Triton smiled glad to see someone understanding why he did this, looking around the warrior slammed his staff to the ground embedding it into the sand, letting it go Triton placed his left hand over his right shoulder grabbing it as he remembered the day he lost it to the Sith.

"I lost my arm in a fight against a Sith, me and a Jedi fought the Sith to keep a list of children that would be force sensitive away from them, but in the end we failed an I learned how much of a struggle it is to defeat the darkness yet not even now where I am missing my own arm do I regret becoming a Matukai. I feel like I can make a difference or at least become a person others will get inspired from to try and make a difference themselves, in this live thee is no shame or failure as long as you continued to try you are doing a great thing. If that is the life you wish to live than I can help you with that, all you have to do is follow me I promise to train you, an to give you a chance to change the galaxy around you." Triton knew that many didn't believe that one person could change the galaxy but the warrior was not one of those kind of people, and truly believed that his efforts is not a waste of time and energy, though he knew that he might not get to see the effects it has on the galaxy.

 

[Croywn Denimore]

She did not jump nor pull back as she saw the staff being slammed into the ground. Looking at it free standing for a few moments before her eyes looked towards the shoulder that the man seemed to be holding. She listened to how he spoke about losing it during a fight.

Taking in a deep breath as she still was pondering over a few things. She began to chew on her tongue for a few moments, before she looked around the area she was on. But it wasn't so much looking at the ally they were in but rather the surroundings and the life she was living at the moment.

"All right.......I will follow you. But you are saying that you are a warrior of light, is that what a Matukai is ? a warrior ? someone of light ?"

 

[Richie B.]

(OOC: Sorry for the short post)

Triton smiled glad to see the young girl following him it would help the order plus it seemed she needed some help also something which the sage was willing to give the young woman that chance, extending a arm out for the young girl the warrior was ready to help her as she was ready to help the galaxy.

"I belong to the order of Matukai we are warriors that use the light to help others, we train our whole lives to protect people like I said, though it might be a lot to take in but I am willing to show you our ways if you wish to learn that is." Triton knew it might be rushing it but hopefully she would join him but that remained to be seen.

(OOC: its okay, sorry for my late reply)

Looks at the man, the thought crossing her mind of what was she doing following someone whom she had only just met. Having only known him shy of a few hours at best. Slowly she takes in a deep breath and exhales nodding her head a bit listening to him speak. Before she responded

" I have never heard of them, but I am not well versed in all the ins and outs of this galaxy. It cost me half of what I managed to save up just to get passage to this planet. I cannot say I would be much of a warrior, never been good with physically strength, it is why......well why I end up staying hidden in the shadows so to speak, out of sight and pick off what I can."

she paused for a moment as she began to think a bit on the past and pondering of the time when it would have helped to have had someone there that would have protected her family. She looked at the man straight in the eyes, almost as though she was judging him. If anything she tended to be able to judge people

"But you promise you will show me how to protect those like me, to stop what happened from happening again ? to help me put an end to it all ?"
