Adventurer/Explorers Sentence Starters

“I have to be honest, these hieroglyphs could either mean that there’s a trap here, a curse, or someone really likes the baker’s bread more than they ought to.” 

“You said you disarmed it!” 

“Please let us not find a body in there, please.” 

“I think this room’s been picked clean already.” 

“If we find some sort of monster down here I am going to break your knees and leave you.” 

“T-this must be hundreds of years old!” 

“I can’t imagine this place being used for anything good, not with all that blood all over the walls.” 

“Aaand the statue is crying blood. Okay, that’s something we’ll have to deal with.” 

“I’m sure nothing can ever go wrong in walking through cursed doorways! Nothing at all!” 

“This is worth more than your entire life so you better not break it.” 

“Care to go on a quick quest with me?” 

“And why should I join you in this… trivial ‘quest’?” 

“Excuse me, but are you an adventurer?” 

“If I find one more bug in my supplies I am going to scream.” 

“I am bleeding, I am cold, and I haven’t taken a bath in over four weeks, so shut up and get out of my way.” 

“This is why I told you to bring a fucking map you stupid bastard!” 

“I know enough about rope bridges to know not to trust one.” 

“Woah, take a look at this!” 

“Please tell me you found something of value in this dump.” 

“Is this a dragon’s hoard…?” 

“I swear to whatever deity is listening- if you don’t get me out of this mud I will end you.” 

“How much are we getting paid for this again?” 

“I will wring your neck and leave you to the wolves if you don’t /shut up/!” 

“I think… we’re lost.” 

“I TOLD you not to touch that! Now look what you’ve done!” 

“Glowing runes. What can go wrong?” 

“I think you activated something…” 

“Please tell me there’s no spiders living here…” 

“Welcome. You’re the first person in over an era to step foot here.” 

“I cannot guarantee your safety if you follow through with this.” 

“You don’t belong here.”

thezabrakassassin​:

“Against popular belief…. I’m not as kill happy as people may think. Not anymore at the very least.” The Zabrak pointed out with a raised eyebrow. In his youth he would not even have listened to the former Jedi for a second, he would have struck the other man down without a question.

Watching the cargo ship and the woman, she clearly was about as suspicious as Maul himself was at the moment and frankly, he didn’t like this idea. But he had finally ran out of other options so this was it. “Acquaintance is one way to put it…..!” Maul could not help the slight roll of his eyes. That sure was one way to put the fact he had tried to murder Obi-wan more times than he could count and the sheer mention of him was going on Maul’s nerves. Listening to the woman Maul turned a skeptic eye towards the former Jedi. But what other options did he have?  “If you try to kill me I’ll haunt you.” Maul sighs before entering the ship with a skeptical look. This was uncomfortable.

Not anymore, at the least. That earns Kit another Look from Aliza, one eyebrow arching, though she says nothing.

For now.

Kit quite suspects that much may be said later, but what choice was there? As he is not, he could hardly confront Maul without risk of drawing the attention of any potential onlookers––not to mention drawing upon the Force once more and practically sending out a flare telling of both his continued existence and his location––and he could not simply leave Maul to his fate either, for risk of much the same.

And so this uneasy truce must hold.

As Kit passes Aliza, he brings his hand up to offer her shoulder a gentle squeeze, a reassuring look given in turn and a small nod. All will be well, he means to convey.

She relaxes, if only a little, nodding in turn before Kit continues into the ship and Aliza sets to preparing for departure.

“I will assure you again that I have no intention of bringing harm to you, much less death. You may rest assured.”

Once more, he gestures for Maul to follow him, this time toward the place on the ship where the crew might spend their leisure time. The pace is slower than he would like and certainly does nothing to allow him any pretenses for their guest about his condition. In terms of his abilities as a Jedi, as one of the most dangerous duelists of the Order, he is a mere shadow of his former self.

He cannot remember the last time he took up a saber with the intention of anything more than cleaning and maintenance. 

They arrive in the main room and Kit looks to Maul once more, indicating a seating area to him while he goes to a kitchen-like arrangement to the side of the door.

“Would you care for something to drink? To eat? The ship is kept well-stocked for when the Captain goes about collecting bounties. It is fortunate for all of us, I believe, that I accompanied her this time, as I often do not.”

kestiis​:

Cal supposed that made sense and perhaps that was part of the problem. Perhaps he was trying too hard to control his ability when he simply needed to learn to live with it. It wasn’t like it was going to go away, after all. It was something he’d been born with though it hadn’t began to manifest until recently – Master Yoda said it wasn’t unknown for that to happen.

He was quiet as they walked, but it was clear the young padawan was listening to every word. He looked thoughtful. It was only his first day as Master Fisto’s padawan and they were having a very deep conversation but Cal thought it was an important one and it had certainly given him something to think about.

“I guess I never thought of it like that,” he admitted, returning his Master’s smile with one of his own. It wasn’t an analogy he would have used but it made a great deal of sense. He still had a long way to go with his training, but one of the first things they had been taught – back when he’d still used a training saber – was that a lightsaber wasn’t a tool. It was, as Master Fisto said, an extension of their bodies.

It was something he was still working on – as was the case with most young padawans – but he was getting better. Maybe if he started treating his psychometry as an extension of himself – it was part of him after all – he’d be able to deal with it better.

Live with it, not control.

“That makes a lot of sense, Master,” his smile became a little brighter, more sure of himself. “I know I have a lot to learn, but I’ll do my best.”

“In that I have no doubt, Cal Kestis,” Kit answers with a bright smile and a chuckle.  “I have heard nothing but praise for your ability to learn and to excel. I do not believe that this will be any different, though perhaps it may require more patience on your part than other, more simple endeavors.” After all, he had also heard that the boy is not accustomed to failure. That he has not yet been forced to face it due to being so driven and so exceptional. This, however, is almost certain to be more difficult, both to redirect the way the boy thinks of his psychometry, as well as to become attuned to it, just as he must become so with the Force. “This new path in your journey will be more challenging––as it must be that you may learn and grow––but you will not travel it unaided, and I will assist you to the best of my ability.”

He must simply trust in the Force that this time it will be enough.

So as I’m still lacking the bios, I’m going to throw a blurb here.

From left to right: Jedi Master Kit Fisto, Captain Aliza Organa, Sparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywire.

Aliza Organa—a rather distant relation to Bail Organa—was a captain of the Senate Guard before Order 66 went down. She spent a great deal of her time there and often saw several Jedi in the building or around the city. She found most of them to be either a bit naïve or snobbish, but overall, she respected them.

Two of the ones she always enjoyed seeing were Jedi Master Plo Koon and Jedi Master Kit Fisto, the first for his calm and polite demeanor and the second for his good sense of humor and affinity for laughter. They seemed quite different to most of the Jedi she saw. (Though Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were close seconds.)

She was on patrol the day the Jedi entered the Senate, and she was passing when she felt something wasn’t right… and then heard the sounds of battle and shouts.

Going through the passageways known only to the Guard, ways they were taught for safety, she entered the room just after Palpatine and Windu had moved from it only to see the bodies of the other three Jedi—including Master Fisto!—on the floor. She was horrified but she didn’t have time to consider. She could hear the sounds of battle in the other room and there was only a split second to make a decision.

She checked the first two Jedi, but there was nothing to be done. When she reached Master Fisto, she expected much the same result and yet… there was a pulse!

In another instantaneous decision––the fight seeming to begin moving again––she dragged a grievously injured Kit from the room and into the passageway, closing it behind her. Rather than take the time to think, she cast off her helmet and bulky shoulder plates and properly picked him up, carrying him through the corridors. She didn’t understand what was going on but something was wrong, and she didn’t need the Force to tell her that.

She went to ground.

The next few hours and days were difficult, for her and for Kit. She wasn’t a medic by any means, but she was able to contact her relative, Bail, and he was able to obtain the necessary supplies for her as well as to give her explanation, which struck her like a lightning bolt.

The Jedi had been branded traitors, and she had saved one of them, which meant she, too, had committed treason.

Kit was not in good shape for several days, running a fever and nearly delirious with pain, though with the supplies brought to her, a serious infection was avoided and he pulled through it. (Though he would have a permanent and horrendous limp for the rest of his life from the damage done when the lightsaber sliced his side/hip.)

The next time Bail contacted her, it was with a means of getting them off-world and to somewhere else, somewhere beyond the Empire’s reach. By then, Kit was more aware and they narrowed down the possibilities based upon the traits of his species. Takodana was decided between them, though Bail did not wish to hear their location, for the sake of everyone’s safety.

Once on Takodana, Kit reunited with a dear friend—Maz Kanata—and she agreed to allow him to stay there, earning his stay as a bartender named Orrus Rindit.

While Aliza does spend a great amount of time there, too, she does take up work as a bounty hunter to cover any necessities. She doesn’t much like the job but. Beggars can’t be choosers and that plays closest to her skill set. It also allows her to keep an ear to the ground, so to speak, on bounties and on her fellow hunters.

Of course, Kit’s clone troopers, once upon a time jokingly referred to by others as Kit’s Kids—Sparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywire—retired post Order-66. They were good at what they did, but they hadn’t quite made a name for themselves the way some did, like Cody, so they weren’t asked to train the new military. They simply retired and vanished.

Through sheer coincidence or the Force at work, they went to Takodana because they knew of Kit’s friendship with several of the… rascally types, including Hondo Ohnaka and Maz Kanata. They wished to relay the news to them in person. Maz, of course, received their sad news after closing time and with great somberness. She even offered them a round of drinks on the house before they left… and called the order out to the bartender who had heard it all.

As soon as The Kids saw that grin, they knew exactly who it was and they were both shocked and overjoyed—Chuckles perhaps a bit too much so as he jumped the counter and bear-hugged Kit. [Chuckles is particularly attached to Kit as he saved his life a few times. He even tattooed Kit’s markings onto his own shoulders as a sign of loyalty and respect. Whether Kit knows about it or not is anyone’s guess. His armor was similarly painted.]

From there, the clones usually split and take turns when Aliza leaves to go on a bounty. Half go with her and the others stay with Kit to keep him safe take a break.

————————

Fun Fact Number 1: Aliza has managed to keep Kit alive this long, and she doesn’t intend to change the plan this late in the game. She is very protective of him, and she gives a lot of side eye.

Fun Fact Number 2: After they thought they lost him once, The Kids don’t plan on losing him for real. They are very protective of him also.

Essentially, if you approach the bartender on Takodana, prepare to receive some side eye from multiple directions.

thezabrakassassin​:

“Well well…. Some of you had some okay ideas.” Maul replied with a slight roll of his eyes.  He really wasn’t all to interested in what one Jedi at one point thought.

“I think Obi-wan tried something like that, not sure…. Didn’t quite go as well as it should. Go figure.” He pointed out with a dry voice and a shrug. Maul could see the Jedi’s limp, he was in no shape to pick a fight with Maul right now and the Zabrak knew it “How fortunate….! I may not have to kill you after all.”

“I should hope not,” he answers and perhaps there is a wry, self-deprecating smile at that. “I would hardly think myself worth the effort. As I am certain you have noticed.”

At last, they reach a cargo ship and at the ramp stands a tall woman with dark hair, watching them as they approach. The sharp angles of her body language betray her wariness, her tension at seeing an unexpected person with the one she had expected. Her hand casually rests on her blaster, but she makes no move to draw it yet.

“… Made a new friend there, Orrus?”

“He is not so much a new friend as an old acquaintance of an old friend,” Kit answers, eyes settling on the blaster and then shaking his head, making certain Aliza knows that there is no need for violence at present. Not unless given reason. “I have promised him safe passage away from this place, and he has promised to behave himself.”

Her hand moves away from the blaster, for now, and she nods.

“Well then. Guess you both should get on board so we can leave.”

Kit looks to Maul then, holding his arm out to indicate the ship.

“After you.”

[fromxthexdepths]

Things I didn’t know I needed: Kit and Wolffe being childish and brotherly around Plo who is just amused.

[fromxthexdepths]

thezabrakassassin​:

“Good…. Then we’ll have no problem with each other.” Maul sigh calmly, starting to follow the former Jedi. He didn’t trust the man but there was more to lose for Kit than his life alone, selling Maul out was something easier said than done. And he knew it.

“You maybe think well of the majority of people but there is a good chunk who want nothing more than a quick paycheck or a boost to their reputation.” He pointed out. No one ever did anything for free. Especially not during the empires reign. It was a hell hole and people was going to do what ever they needed to get by. 

“I once knew another who thought of the world in such terms. So little as you will wish to hear it, he was a fellow Jedi.”

And another dear friend –– gone.

“There was a time when he was of the viewpoint that you cannot expect the best in everyone, and someone who has done wrong deserves a punishment that would negate the ability to do wrong again…’

There’s a pause there as he looks fully to Maul once more.

“How fortunate it is for you that I do not share the opinion.”

The next time Bail contacted her, it was with a means of getting them off-world and to somewhere else, somewhere beyond the Empire’s reach. By then, Kit was more aware and they narrowed down the possibilities based upon the traits of his species. Takodana was decided between them, though Bail did not wish to hear their location, for the sake of everyone’s safety.

Once on Takodana, Kit reunited with an dear friend—Maz Kanata—and she agreed to allow him to stay there, earning his stay as a bartender named Orrus Rindit.

While Aliza does spend a great amount of time there, too, she does take up work as a bounty hunter to cover any necessities. She doesn’t necessarily like the job but. Beggars can’t be choosers and that plays closest to her skillset. It also allows her to keep an ear to the ground, so to speak, on bounties and on her fellow hunters.

Of course, Kit’s clone troopers, jokingly referred to by others as Kit’s Kids—Sparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywire—retire post Order-66. They were good at what they did, but they hadn’t quite made a name for themselves the way some did like Cody, so they weren’t asked to train the new military. They simply retired and vanished.

Sheer coincidence or the Force at work, they went to Takodana because they knew of Kit’s friendship with several of the… rascally types, including Hondo Ohnaka and Maz Kanata. They wished to relay the news to them in person. Maz, or course, received their sad news after closing time and with great somberness. She even offered them a round of drinks on the house before they left… and called the order out to the bartender who had heard it all.

As soon as The Kids saw that grin, they knew exactly who it was and they were both shocked and overjoyed—Chuckles perhaps a bit too much so as he jumped the counter and bear-hugged Kit. [Chuckles is particularly attached to Kit as he saved his life a few times. He even tattooed Kit’s markings onto his own shoulders as a sign of loyalty and respect. Whether Kit knows about it or not is anyone’s guess. His armor was similarly painted.]

From there, the clones usually split and take turns when Aliza leaves to go on a bounty. Half go with her and the others stay with Kit to keep him safe take a break.

————————

Fun fact, Aliza has managed to keep Kit alive this long, and she doesn’t intend to change the plan this late in the game. She is very protective of him, and she gives a lot of side eye.

Fun Fact Number 2: After they thought they lost him once, The Kids don’t plan on losing him for real. They are very protective of him also.

Essentially, if you approach the bartender on Takodana, prepare to receive some side eye from multiple directions.

THOSE FOREHEAD TOUCHES WHERE THE PERSON GRABS THE BACK OF YOUR NECK TO ANCHOR YOU IN PLACE ARE SO IMPORTANT.

[fromxthexdepths]

Okay. So. Before I go to bed. Kit and Aliza both have starter calls posted, and I plan to get one made up for the Kids soon. I’m not going to lie, if anyone would be interested in plotting with either Aliza or the clones, I would be thrilled because they have been loud. 😂

[fromxthexdepths]

I don’t know how coherent that rambling explanation was so if anyone has any questions, comments, concerns, et cetera, just let me know.

So as I’m still lacking the bios, I’m going to throw a blurb here.

From left to right: Jedi Master Kit Fisto, Captain Aliza Organa, Sparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywire.

Aliza Organa—a rather distant relation to Bail Organa—was a captain of the Senate Guard before Order 66 went down. She spent a great deal of her time there and often saw several Jedi in the building or around the city. She found most of them to be either a bit naïve or snobbish, but overall, she respected them.

Two of the ones she always enjoyed seeing were Jedi Master Plo Koon and Jedi Master Kit Fisto, the first for his calm and polite demeanor and the second for his good sense of humor and affinity for laughter. They seemed quite different to most of the Jedi she saw. (Though Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were close seconds.)

She was on patrol the day the Jedi entered the Senate, and she was passing when she felt something wasn’t right… and then heard the sounds of battle and shouts.

Going through the passageways known only to the Guard, ways they were taught for safety, she entered the room just after Palpatine and Windu had moved from it only to see the bodies of the other three Jedi—including Master Fisto!—on the floor. She was horrified but she didn’t have time to consider. She could hear the sounds of battle in the other room and there was only a split second to make a decision.

She checked the first two Jedi, but there was nothing to be done. When she reached Master Fisto, she expected much the same result and yet… there was a pulse!

In another instantaneous decision––the fight seeming to begin moving again––she dragged a grievously injured Kit from the room and into the passageway, closing it behind her. Rather than take the time to think, she cast off her helmet and bulky shoulder plates and properly picked him up, carrying him through the corridors. She didn’t understand what was going on but something was wrong, and she didn’t need the Force to tell her that.

She went to ground.

The next few hours and days were difficult, for her and for Kit. She wasn’t a medic by any means, but she was able to contact her relative, Bail, and he was able to obtain the necessary supplies for her as well as to give her explanation, which struck her like a lightning bolt.

The Jedi had been branded traitors, and she had saved one of them, which meant she, too, had committed treason.

Kit was not in good shape for several days, running a fever and nearly delirious with pain, though with the supplies brought to her, a serious infection was avoided and he pulled through it. (Though he would have a permanent and horrendous limp for the rest of his life from the damage done when the lightsaber sliced his side/hip.)

The next time Bail contacted her, it was with a means of getting them off-world and to somewhere else, somewhere beyond the Empire’s reach. By then, Kit was more aware and they narrowed down the possibilities based upon the traits of his species. Takodana was decided between them, though Bail did not wish to hear their location, for the sake of everyone’s safety.

Once on Takodana, Kit reunited with a dear friend—Maz Kanata—and she agreed to allow him to stay there, earning his stay as a bartender named Orrus Rindit.

While Aliza does spend a great amount of time there, too, she does take up work as a bounty hunter to cover any necessities. She doesn’t much like the job but. Beggars can’t be choosers and that plays closest to her skill set. It also allows her to keep an ear to the ground, so to speak, on bounties and on her fellow hunters.

Of course, Kit’s clone troopers, once upon a time jokingly referred to by others as Kit’s Kids—Sparks, Razor, Edge, Chatterbox, Chuckles, and Haywire—retired post Order-66. They were good at what they did, but they hadn’t quite made a name for themselves the way some did, like Cody, so they weren’t asked to train the new military. They simply retired and vanished.

Through sheer coincidence or the Force at work, they went to Takodana because they knew of Kit’s friendship with several of the… rascally types, including Hondo Ohnaka and Maz Kanata. They wished to relay the news to them in person. Maz, of course, received their sad news after closing time and with great somberness. She even offered them a round of drinks on the house before they left… and called the order out to the bartender who had heard it all.

As soon as The Kids saw that grin, they knew exactly who it was and they were both shocked and overjoyed—Chuckles perhaps a bit too much so as he jumped the counter and bear-hugged Kit. [Chuckles is particularly attached to Kit as he saved his life a few times. He even tattooed Kit’s markings onto his own shoulders as a sign of loyalty and respect. Whether Kit knows about it or not is anyone’s guess. His armor was similarly painted.]

From there, the clones usually split and take turns when Aliza leaves to go on a bounty. Half go with her and the others stay with Kit to keep him safe take a break.

Fun Fact Number 1: Aliza has managed to keep Kit alive this long, and she doesn’t intend to change the plan this late in the game. She is very protective of him, and she gives a lot of side eye.

Fun Fact Number 2: After they thought they lost him once, The Kids don’t plan on losing him for real. They are very protective of him also.
