                    agony’s cacophony echoed within the overflowing medbay, a scene repeated across every ship within reach of the now shattered starkiller base.   the unfortunate of the survivors laid on every available surface, tended to by droids and barely belied frantic staff.   none were the walking wounded, all those sent to a dining hall to be treated by their comrades.   every single being within their walls required swift care.   even that might not be enough.

                    heart thudding, now almost unnoticed, against her ears, connie has not paused for over two hours now, steadily working on whoever is laid in front of her with only the aid of a meddroid.   though aware the likelihood of not knowing any of the wounded or dead in the end was nil, she hadn’t yet recognized anyone.   thankfully, blessedly.

                    no one until troopers laid the leader of the knights of ren on her table, identifiable by garb alone.   dark gaze instantly set upon the side’s charred fabric and face riven with a cauterized wound, lips ordering instruments and medication that ears didn’t hear.   the wound to his torso worried her the most, internal bleeding inevitable.    ❝  how long has he been like this?  ❞

flawless military composure was the only reason phasma had not done a double take when the chancellor instructed her to obey the supreme leader's commands during this quest. the lack of 'what if scenarios', backup commands, or loopholes for the supreme leader's strategy was troubling to say the least. it wasn't that phasma dislike ren. personally, she found him more tolerable than the bureaucratic egoists her new position forced her to tolerate. but she was not sure of ren's motives in the grand scheme of things. "air and ground troops are on standby, supreme leader." phasma stood still as stone. she towered over the man at her side in lieu of his substantial height. "they are prepared to strike at your command." the grand marshall inclined her head at her superior. "if a forceful negotiation is your wish." underneath the cover of her helm, she studied him. "you seem different." she dared to remark.

there is an unspoken rule among knights. all's fair as long as you can take the hit. presumably in the jaw. rivk has not lost any of his teeth yet. he's content with keeping it that way. he's never been one to provoke their leader's ire. something dark festers inside them. ( a bloodlust that cannot be tamed. ) the dark calling has spared them the hindrance of contention. he would follow kylo beyond the savage lines of known space into the ends of oblivion without a word of opposition. that does not mean he'll back down from a challenge or hold back the truth. they are brothers regardless of any ( grandiose new title ) kylo awards himself by virtue of his exalted crusade for power.

supreme leader ren jests threateningly : “mine is a heart you should beware of vexing.”

the stolid knight bears a miniscule grin. ( a modicum of humanity. ) his glowing red eyes and rigid disposition unnerve the staff more than his sleek new helm and obsidian armor. the chiss crosses his arms aloofly over his chest. ❝ i thought you valued my wisdom. ❞ the chiss leans against the opposing wall from his ( disgruntled sovereign. ) @cruoren cuts a ghastly form in his onyx raiment. his force signature flares like smog from a smoldering flame in rivk's double infrared vision. ❝ unless the supreme leader has outgrown my humble counsel.❞ his steeled face deceives spectators ( poorly concealing ) their eavesdropping. ❝ don't get defensive, your highness. it was only an observation. you can deny it all you want but it's clear to see. your mind has been preoccupied lately. ❞ he steals a not-so-sublte glance at the auburn haired figure twenty paces ahead. third sight reels him into an impending glimpse. ❝ maybe you aren't the only one. ❞ his snicker startles a gawking captain. ❝ never mind, you don't want my advice. ❞

Forlorn obscurity bleeds black, seeping from the violent aura of the figure upon the horizon into the atmosphere. A shadow that eclipses the sun. Yet a solar flare sparks anew with him, with each steadying breath. Each thread of hope, woven into a a tapestry of tanicity. ❛ I'm not afraid of you, ❜ Finn belows into the open air, voice laden with conviction —intent to convince himself as much as to convince @cruoren. Fingers twitch around the hilt of a beryl blade, the steady hum a contrast to the crackling thrum of the weapon that once rendered him immobile. The young jedi banishes the well of anger surging within, supplanting it with raw devotion for those he is accompanying today. He may not win this battle, but at the least, he can buy Rey enough time...

❛❛ THEY LOOK AT YOU AND SEE WHATEVER THEY WANT... BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE YOU AT ALL. ❜❜ from KYLO REN, at @cruoren. [ FROM: THE  INVISIBLE  LIFE  OF  ADDIE  LARUE  BY  V.E.  SCHWAB. ]

he speaks a plain truth, for they've never seen her for who she is or what she could be. only what their feeble, small minds allows for them to see – or what others of higher power have told them. it's a truth that's eaten away at her for years to the point that she almost believes it herself. the look she cast to his side was one of knowing, her eyes tainted by years of agony and strain; there's little humanity left in those icy blue pools, even now.

      “  but you do?  ” she'd suspected it for a while, sensed it the first night they'd met when he'd confronted her on the bridge, the bodies of her handlers and makers at their feet, and yet she found herself dreading what it could mean. “  the parts they've chipped away and replaced with their own, you see beyond that? you see through the lies and know the truths,  ” one could have accused her tone of mockery when in reality, it was merely disbelief.

              “  that is some gift.  ”

dashboard game: THINGS YOUR MUSE MIGHT NOTICE ABOUT SHI’AL VALORUM, circa 19 BBY.

WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE:

Such is to be expected from an individual who grew up amongst CORUSCANTI HIGH SOCIETY, of course — but even then, the ELEGANCE which characterizes Shi’al’s public presence is unprecedented. Even whilst engaging in a sparring match at the dojang with her martial arts instructor, Shi’al radiates a magnetic aura of REGAL AUTHORITY that is difficult for anyone to ignore. This aspect of her demeanor, coupled with her gorgeous visage of golden curls and piercing cerulean blue eyes, turns the heads of many wherever she goes and is one of the reasons that Shi’al gained intergalactic recognition as “THE CROWNING JEWEL OF CORUSCANT”. In the past, numerous individuals have misidentified her as a GODDESS among mortal souls.

Beyond her visage, keenly eyed students of intergalactic culture might also take note of her impeccable wardrobe. No matter the occasion, Shi’al is always dressed to the nines in attire suitable for whatever circumstances are at hand — and in fact, designed much of this attire herself. Shi’al, as the proverbial reigning queen bee of Coruscant’s elite (and one of the only elite individuals who regularly interacts with the public regardless of their class), has the unique ability to set and maintain fashion trends in the Republic as far out as certain Mid Rim territories.

WHAT SHE SMELLS LIKE:

Those frequently in Shi’al’s presence often ascertain that she smells like ROSES. This assertion is entirely accurate, for her favorite perfume allows her to acquire the scent of a rose. Her preference of physical copies of books and manuscripts over their datapad counterparts, she is also prone to smelling like the old leather-bound tomes kept within House Valorum’s extensive private collection after hours of research.

WHAT SHE SOUNDS LIKE:

Shi’al’s speaking voice is best characterized by the rich, velvety drawl common amongst wealthy Coruscanti citizens — an accent comparable to “posh” British accents here on planet Earth. Therefore, her voice is remarkably CLEAR and BRISK, with each syllable carefully uttered so as to ensure its proper pronounciation. These qualities remain true even when Shi’al is singing, since her vocal training ensured that ample time was spent on maintaining suitable spoken and sung diction while on stage. Fitting, perhaps, for a woman who has been mistaken as a goddess, Shi’al’s singing is often described as ANGELIC.

WHAT SHE FEELS LIKE:

For Shi’al, the power of physical touch cannot ever be understated. Unless her companion requests that she cease wielding this power (a boundary which she will always respect), they are bound to eventually feel the touch of her surprisingly calloused hands. Years of training in martial arts — which involved learning to wield a dagger and a katana sword in combat against mightier foes, even those with a lightsaber — have left their mark upon her physical form by ensuring that her hands are almost always calloused, no matter the steps she takes in her daily beautification routine to conceal these signs of her labor. Nevertheless, her touch is always gentle, and as light as a feather. Shi’al favors physical touch as her primary love language, but will refrain from or limit physical touch entirely if her loved ones prefer.

WHERE DOES YOUR POWER LIE ?

the mouth - sharp teeth, sharper tongue, all growl and bark and bite, bite, bite. your power is gritted teeth and set jaws, quick and powerful words, decisive actions. everything you do is so personal and vulnerable - the way you love, the way you are loved, the way you attack, the way you drink in and feast on life
