Recovery and Beginnings

[Alaisia]

The effort to move was the worst part of healing. Not sure of who was helping her, Alaisia fell in and out of sleep. Each time she woke, she would be alone... but her wounds would be newly bandaged and there would be a tray of food on a table beside her bed. As time passed and she grew strong enough to stand on her own, without leaning on something for balance, she became restless. She knew she was on the planet Manaan. She knew the ship she had come on had crashed into the vast oceans. But beyond that, it was blank.

Sitting up, Alaisia glanced around herself, searching for some sign of the one helping her. She looked to the table and saw the plate of food that was always there. Beyond that, the locked door. The last time she had managed to stand up and stay up long enough to cross to the door across the room, she had found it locked. She had knocked, yelled, and then given up and returned to her bed. Perhaps it was for her safety. Maybe the reason was that she was being kept prisoner.

Today would be the day she would get out, and she was sure of it. Though the room was basically bare, it did have a couple chairs and a few boxes that she might be able to use. She hadn't tested the boxes, but they looked sturdy. They would be used as a last resort. The room, though, had high walls and only one window. The window, though high above the ground, would be her way out. Her tunic, sewn back together where it was ripped in the crash, would protect her a little from the elements. And she had the two medpacks she had managed to bring with her from home.

"Okay," she said as she pulled one of the chairs beneath the window. "Here goes nothing."

OOC: Sorry guys I guess I didn't post quick enough, kinda got left behind. Count me out.

The bored Nireas walked down the streets of the city, looking for something to do. He had arrived on the vast ocean world of Manaan the night before by stowing away on a passenger ship, but unlike the time on Cata Neimoidia, he had known the destination of this ship PRIOR to boarding. He had wandered around and been impressed by the architecture of the city he had arrived in. Unlike Cata Neimoidia, there were more than just vile Neimoidians. He had encountered the Mon Calamari, Quarren and Selkath. He liked the general culture and nature of these races a lot more than the Neimoidians selfishness and greed.
"Perhaps this may turn out to be a normal day, if ever there was such a thing" Nireas muttered out loud.

 

[Alaisia]

Pushing herself up toward the window, Alaisia stretched out to try and catch the edge of it. Her fingers just barely touched the corner... She swore as she stepped lightly off the chair and searched for another form of support to the window. The boxes. With four of them, they would easily stack up to reach the window but there was a question of steadiness. But she was tired of being locked in the room.

With the boxes stacked up as neatly as she could, Alaisia started her ascent once more. She tested her weight on the first box. It creaked a little, but not enough to make her worry. So she reached up to pull herself up onto the second set, stacked two boxes high. This time a wobble made her pause, but only for a moment. This time, when she reached up toward the window she was able to put her palm onto the flatness of the bottom of the opening.

A smile lit across her face as she put her other hand up onto the window, but it disappeared quickly as the boxes wobbled yet again. This time, they fell and left her hanging from the window, pain spreading across her body from her not-quite-healed wounds. With a yelp, she fell back to the ground.

Nireas had just seen something strange. He had been bartering with an aggressive Quarren merchant when he had seen something through the window of a building across the street from him. A hand had appeared on the window, then an other hand. But then they had both fallen and been clinging onto the window ledge. Then they disappeared completely. Someone just took a nasty fall Nireas thought. He was prepared not to think anything more of it, but then he realized that that the window had been part of a hospital building. I should at least tell one of the medic droids or something he thought. So he told the Quarren that he didn't want to buy an astromech and made his way over to the hospital building. As he entered the foyer, he was immediately greeted with the odd smell of the hospital and the blood stains on the wall. He walked up to the medic droid at the front desk.

"Greetings Mirialan, do you require medical attention" the droid said.
"That wont be necessary, I just saw someone fall from a high window ledge in the hospital" He said
"What? Is the subject outside?" The droid said, alarmed.
"No, the "subject" fell from inside" Nireas clarified.
"Oh. You'll have to clarify if you expect us to help" The droid said with a slightly disappointing tone.
"Fine" Nireas said, turning around, "Ill help the person myself."

Nireas discreetly reached out with the force, looking for any indication of where "the subject" might be. In hindsight, this was foolish as he was looking for one person in pain in a hospital. All he could see was pain and sickness, but there was something else there. Something familiar. He focused on this thing and found a being, who was strong in the force. Nireas gasped. A force sensitive he thought. For some reason, he broke out into a run, toppling over an elderly Selkath. Nireas didn't care. He just wanted to meet this person.

 

[Alaisia]

Groaning, Alaisia sat up and rubbed her head. Her back hurt where she had fallen, but otherwise she was okay. As she stands up, though, she feels something. Something so familiar it brings back fear that she had only felt before on Corellia. She sensed a force wielder, and it brought back memories of hiding from the Sith.

"No," she murmurs to herself. "I won't be captured."

Quickly, she stacks the boxes again, this time not taking the time to worry if she will fall. But she's not quite fast enough. Her breath catches in her throat as she scrambles to climb onto the second box... and the door swings open.

 

[Nix9976]

Nireas stepped inside the room, and if he was tired from his run, he didn't show it. There was a human girl, who appeared to be climbing on top of a stack of boxes.
"I don't know what to say" Nireas said.
The girl looked a few years older than him, but she looked weak, and hurt.
"Are-are you alright?" Nireas asked her awkwardly.

 

[Alaisia]

Alaisia stared at the boy, unsure what to say. She didn't want to say that she was in pain. She didn't want to seem weak, even though she nothing told her that he wanted to hurt her.

"I'm okay," she says. "I just wanted to see what was on the other side of the window." She laughs, sliding painfully to the floor. The boxes crash to the ground yet again, but this time it does not matter. She no longer sees the need to escape. "Are you here to help me?"

 

[Nix9976]

"Why? Are you being held here?" Nireas asked.
Why would Manaan authorities keep a girl captive like this? Nireas thought.
"I will help you in any way I can" He said, staff in hand.

 

[Alaisia]

"I'm not sure why they're keeping me," Alaisia says, stepping lightly toward the boy. "I woke here after the ship I was in crashed into the ocean. Someone has been healing me, but beyond that I don't know anything about this place..."

She picks her bag from the floor where she had left it beside the boxes and then turns back to the boy. "I want to leave," she says. "I want to find somewhere safe. My home... I can't go back. It's not safe there. The Sith will find me and force me to become an apprentice, I'm sure. I saw it happen to other children."

For a moment, Alaisia contemplates trying to leave through the window again... but she was sure with her injuries there would be no way to escape the boy. Her only choice would be to trust him, at least for the present, and try to find her way to the Jedi and the only place she was sure she would truly feel safe.

 

[Nix9976]

Although it didn't show, Nireas was shattered on the inside. Because for a moment...for a moment when he had sensed the being, he had allowed himself to believe that maybe it was his father. He knew it couldn't have been, he remembered burying him himself, but he had followed the naïve hope anyway. And now he was guttered, even though there had been no chance of it. Emotion is irrelevant. Do not allow it to stand in the way of what should be done Nireas thought. He took a deep breath and allowed calm to take hold, but anger began to pour into him, clouding his thoughts. Why did he die? Why couldn't someone else's family have been slaughtered! Its just not fair! Nireas thought. For just a moment, sparks crackled at the surface of his skin. What have I become? Nireas thought, horrified with himself. Realizing that the girl was still watching him, he pushed back his emotion.
"If you believe you are endangered by the Sith, then we should go now" Nireas said, deeply concerned with himself.

Sallo Tuain landed the Fallen Star (his ship) in Manaan's starport. He recently was contacted on Korriban by old friend. This friend was a drunk aqualish who couldent even remember his name. This friend gave him information concerning the death of Sallo's parents. Sallo dident trust him at first but he realized the aqualish was actually sober for once. The aqualish told him to find a rodian who snitched out his parents to the local hutt regarding their debt. The aqualish didn't know his name but knew he was a regular at the cantina Sallo worked at.

Once he landed, he went under the normal process when landing on a space port. Once he went to the city he first went to the cantina to look there. Once he steped foot in the cantina he seen his target cheating at a game of pazaak against a drunken selkath. He was ready to strike, but he was in the heavily armed city of manaan. So he sat down plotting. And it stuck him he would need to get everybody out of the cantina. (except the rodian of course) But wait the cameras!! He would need to disable them at a computer panel, probably at the back of the cantina. He stood up ready to set his plan in action.

 

[Alaisia]

Alaisia nods to the boy. "Yes," she says. "I don't know if they followed me here or not. Do you have a ship? Or some other sort of transport?" She strides toward him. "My name is Alaisia, by the way. Alaisia Kellawryn."

She didn't even know where to begin. The Jedi were rumored to be spread far across the galaxy. She knew that there were temples, hidden away, but she didn't know where. But as she wondered on this, she noticed her attention drawn back to the boy. She could feel hurt coming from him, and anger. And she had noticed the sparks that had crackled across his skin.

"Are you okay?" she wondered aloud to him. Despite her injuries, she would try to help.

 

[Nix9976]

"I am fine, just a little...homesick" Nireas said.
"I do not own a ship or any other method of transportation, so it really depends on if you can get a shuttle to where you want to go. My names is Nireas by the way" he said.
Nireas was still sad about his father, but he tried his best not to let it show
"We had better be going now, I don't have any intention of running into a Sith" Nireas said, walking out of the room.

 

[pooperscooper11]

Sallo first needed to turn off the cameras, before he killed anybody. So he walked in the back room. Nobody was in here great! He walked up to a computer terminal, right next to the back door. He looked out the window and saw the hospital behind the cantina. That rodian is going to too badly damaged to go there. He turned off the cameras using the terminal, also he activated the fire alarm so people would get out of the cantina.
"Oh no you dont!" He said as he urged the rodian in the back room. And before the rodian could say anything he pushed him to the door and stuck him in the heart with his lightsaber. He killed the rodian, now time to leave manaan.

 

[Alaisia]

Alaisia turned to follow Nireas out of the room when the fire alarm sounds. Sprinklers rain down what seems to her like a flood and the few people in the hallway panic. She's hurried out of the hospital, but manages to loose Nireas in the process.

"Nireas!" she yells. "Where are you?!"

 

[pooperscooper11]

He left swiftly before people could find out what exactly happened. He was heading towards the star port but the path to the docks was blocked due to a "fire". The only way to the star port was out the back door of the hospital. As he neared the hospital he felt something strange. Almost like how he did when he was training with other force sensitives on Korriban. Something interesting is going to happen in here He thought as he walked in the hospital. The fire alarms are going off here too, the buildings must be connected somehow. This gave him an idea. He found a nearby terminal and found a passage way into the star port just outside a window of the hospital.

 

[Alaisia]

he bumped into a Mirrialan and a human who where both force sensitive in the room he needed to go to.

They're not in the room anymore...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nireas!" Alaisia yells as she turns around, searching for the boy. With the crowd thinning out, she noticed that many people were going back inside. Worries about being abandoned pick at her as she stands at the side of the door, watching for Nireas. She had finally managed to get out of the room, yes, but she wasn't ready to travel on her own and she knew it. One little incident would land her back in an infirmary, in yet another little room. She wasn't going to let it happen again.

"Nireas!" she yells at the top of her lungs.

 

[pooperscooper11]

Something is odd here, he heard someone yelling in the halls but couldn't make out what it said. He jumped out the window and bolted toward the star port. He wanted to leave before people find out the rodian was dead. He hurried into the star port, using his stealth field generator so he is not seen. He got aboard his ship and left Manaan and traveled to Korriban. He felt that he avenged his parents and got rid of a loose end.

 

[Nix9976]

"Alaisia! Where are you?" Nireas shouted
Nireas was terrified. The water, the yelling the screaming, it was awful. He had never felt rain and the downpour and the sirens freaked him out.
Nireas could hear Alaisia down the corridor. He ran towards the sound of the shouting girl.
He reached around blindly, his eyes shut in order to protect them from the torrents. He felt what seemed like a shoulder.
"Is that you Alaisia?" he asked
