[pinknipszz]

“hello sweet precious,” you croon at the warm bundle in your arms. hardly three weeks old, it fusses a little when you lift the sand-washed silk to gush over its bonny face. “i wish i could keep you forever. you’d like that, wouldn’t you?”

the summertime sun is your company—aside from the newborn babe and your ichor-stained husband, who meditates beside you on the decorated blanket with his legs crossed, an ankle over his shin in quarter lotus. the air is thick with the smell of fresh-cut fruit. there is sake too, brewed in oak barrels, courtesy of uraume.

you lean over the edge to pluck a white iris from the earth. a wail comes from underneath you at the sudden movement, but you hush it quickly and say: “this flower makes for exquisite perfumes that smell sweet and slightly herbaceous. i want to wrap you in silk that is exactly this color.” 

roused from his thoughts, your husband cracks an eye open, leering. “do not waste any more energy on that wretched vermin.” his voice rumbles in the cavity of his cruel, muscle-bound body, each word punctuated by equal amounts of scorn. “it does not matter what kind of silk you wrap it in, wife. i will get rid of it later.”

you huff and turn your sweeping gaze over the vast expanse of scattered flowers. right. you did not give birth to the thing in your arms—a servant did. a foolish one who had slept with the arborist who trims your chestnut trees, or so uraume had told you over barley tea. you had been delighted; your husband, not so much. 

but a small part of the king of curses is still human, still weak to the whims of his darling wife, so he let you keep the parasite that had been propagated by his bastard servants. you lean against his imposing figure and sigh woefully. something must have changed his mind. “will you bring it back to its parents?” 

a large tongue peaks through the gash in his stomach as he settles into a more comfortable position, picking up a plate of tangerines and throwing a few slices into his mouth. you watch him bite into the soft flesh with sharp teeth, already copper-stained from his recent venture. “no,” he says. “i will eat it.”

you understand him, then, and peer up into the sky. your vision burns a bit just to see the summertime sun perched perpendicular to the horizon, high above maple trees where kodama and kitsune come alive. when a plump slice is brought to your lips, you briefly wonder if tangerine tea would pair well with iris.

a question dances on the tip of your tongue, and your husband, in all of his omniscience, seizes it with a searing kiss before you can lock it away and throw the key. you cannot help but mirror the wicked grin on his face.

[lil-melody-moon]

Melody, my dear? Tell us 10 songs that remind you of 10 different people in your life 🤍

10 songs that remind me of 10 different people... I hope you don't mean people I know personally, because I will mention someone I don't know, dear Anon <3

Love Ain't for Keeping by The Who - I hear it and I think of Keith Moon right away. Could be because that was the song that made me listen to The Who or it might be because of the lyrics that I associate with my feelings to him or maybe both, it's hard to tell.

Total Eclipse of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler - I associate this one with my mom. She's a big fan of Bonnie, heck we both are, but this is the first song I heard by Bonnie and the first song that mom played for me when I was tiny. So that's my mom's song <3

Tea For One by Led Zeppelin - dad's favorite, he goes bonkers when he hears it, as in the volume goes up and there's no way somebody will turn it lower. Also the first song by Led Zeppelin dad wanted to show me and he kind of did. I just wasn't swayed by it until I grew up enough to let this masterpiece carry me with its notes.

Hysteria by Def Leppard - song I associate with @jimmysdragonsuit13 She brought me into Def Leppard and this one just makes me think of her each time I hear it. I love this song btw, but shhh...

Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix or any other song by him - makes me think of Anja. She loved Jimi to death, actually the last fic that I wrote for her was with him, she loved it a lot. One big happiness for her in the last few weeks <3

Lazy by Deep Purple - this is @fiammee song. Whenever I hear Jon Lord playing I think of her and her amazing drawings I've seen published here. She's really talented, go check her blog out!

Tangerine by Led Zeppelin - I associate this with @groovyysav Not only for her deep love to Robert Plant, but the vibe of it I somehow associate with the vibe she gives. Country peacefulness with a lot of love and yapping <3

Boris The Spider by The Who - this is a stupid association, but our friendship is stupid as well, so @juliearchery107 that's the song that makes me think of you because of your arachnophobia XD

Love Never Dies by Julian Lennon or any other song by him - @peaceloveandstarrs is such a big fan of him that it's difficult for me to not think about her when I hear his songs.

Girl's Eyes by The Who - and maybe that's a bit not by the rules of the ask, but I can't help it. This song hit me like a train when I heard it and so, this is the me song, as in, I think about myself when I hear it. Simple lyrics, nothing too big of a song for this band, but I've never felt so called out by a song. So it gets a spot here <3

Grand Reopening - Chapter 3

Tomorrow is another day

It was a very peaceful morning in the Kennedy household as Jack woke up and slowly got out of his bed. He took a breath before looking over to the bed to see Dave snoring softly. Ever since everyone was brought back into realty the house has been cramped, for the time being Dave and Jack were forced to share a bed in Jack's room. Jack got dressed and quietly made his way downstairs, he went into the kitchen to prepare a surprise for everyone.

Dave opened his eyes the morning light pounded on his face, rubbing his eyes he got up to open the blinds not even noticing the absence of his favorite tangerine walking corpse. He rolled out of bed before turning around to wake up Jack.

"Sportsy, it's morning. Time to get up" Dave said as he turned back to the bed

Dave stood there staring at the empty bed in confusion before rubbing his eyes but alas, no Old Sport to be found. The aubergine man started examining Jack's side of the bed looking for some kind of clue to his orange friend's whereabouts, that's when he heard a small bell ringing from downstairs.

Jack watched as two rotary phones, a floating little girl with a puppet mask, a shadowy purple doggo, and a worried looking tall eggplant colored man walked into the room looking tired, confused, or a mix of both.

"The dinner bell? I haven't heard that in a long, long time" Peter said looking over to a table of pancakes all covered with syrup, whipped cream, and topped with strawberries "I guess it's more of a breakfast bell today."

Dee was the first one to the table and she beagain eating before anyone else even got the chance to sit down. Peter and Steven sat down before simultaneously stuffing their pancakes into their dials. Jack watched everyone enjoy his surprise as he began to do the dishes.

"I just thought i'd reward you guys for helping me with the restaurant." Jack said

"I mean it's not like we had a choice seeing as none of us would be able to get a job otherwise." Steven stated matter-of-factly, earning himself an elbow to the side courtesy of Peter

"Not to ruin the moment" Blackjack said while materialising on the table "but we will be late if we do not leave immediately."

Everyone looked at the clock on the wall of the kitchen and a mad scramble broke out as everyone got ready for another day at the pizzeria. within five minutes they were out the door and ready to start another day.

~~~ Several hours later ~~~

Jack hurried around the pizzeria trying his best not to show that he was completely freaking out.

Where is it? Where is it? Where the fuck is it?!  He thought as checked the broom closet for the umptinth time.

He turned around and started speed walking to the arcade to check music man's nest when he saw it, sitting on a freshly made pepperoni pizza. Jack rushed over to the new waiter that Steven hired and in one swift motion grabbed the pizza, took Bonnie's face off of it, and tossed the now faceless pie into the trash. He screamed at the employe before firing him and walking backstage. Jack closed the door behind him and turned to where he left the guitar playing rabbit. He watched as Dave stopped mid sip of his beer and stared surprised at Jack.

"Dave what are doing?" Jack asked while walking over to him

"Cracking open a cold one with the boys, Sportsy." Dave stated, motining over to the faceless rabbit at his side and the purple doggo on his lap.

"I am so done with your shit Dave." Jack chuckled

Jack grabbed a beer and started trying to re-attach Bonnie's face while chatting with Dave about nothing in particular

~~~ Meanwhile ~~~

Steven finished a call with a candidate for the newly opened waiter position when Peter walked into the room and pressed the red button on the wall, closing the metal door with a heavy THUNK!

"Peter? what's wrong?" Steven asked

"It's nothing, i'm just not used to being a guard that's all" Peter responded before sitting down on the office chair "also I had something to talk to you about."

Peter began to spin in his chair slowly as Steven grabbed a spare.

"So i've been thinking about how our lives after we were sent to the factory were completely made up" Peter elaberted "the thing I've been thinking about most is how my wife and my kids weren't real, and its not like many people would like to date guy with a phone for a head."

"so why are you coming to me with this instead of Jack or Dee?" Steven responded leaning back on his chair

"Well you went through the same *ahem* event that I did and you got the same fake family photo and the same fake kids and even the same head! I just thought you might have some advice." Peter shot back

"I'm sorry Peter, to be honest i'm going through the same thoughts as you are. It would be nice to have someone to love but I try not to think about it, but still like you said we are pretty similar so if you ever need to talk i'm here. Even if I don't have any worthwhile advice." Steven said finishing his speech with a light chuckle

"Thanks" Peter said as he opened the door to walk out "this really helped."  

~~~ Back to the skittle men... also a few hours later ~~~

Jack was laying peacefully in bed drifting off into sleep until he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. He flinched and turned to look at the culprit, seeing an already asleep Dave snoring softly.

"Dave?" Jack asked in confusion

"Mmmm, sportsy?" Dave said looking over at Jack with half opened eyes

Dave looked down seeing that he was now inches away from Jack

"Oh sorry sport I-" He began as he started taking his arms off of jack

"No!" Jack whisper shouted while grabbing dave's wrists "Its alright"

And that's where they sat, drifting off into the infinite nothingness of sleep.

~~~ 2:23 am ~~~

The moldy rabbit skulked through the alley, finding a man dressed in dirty rags sleeping on a pile of newspapers

"Need... host" It muttered before raising the fire ax above his head and bringing it down on the man's head.

[daysofourlivesrecaps]

Tuesday, 30 May 2023

Some days (or some Days, I guess?) they move us from one set of plots to another, entirely unrelated set of plots that do not overlap any of the others in the slightest and we end up with a bit of whiplash. And this is exactly what happened today.

Xander checks in with Gwen regarding the newspaper that they co-own and co-manage. And look, I adore both of these very British, very pretty people. But I have an exceptionally hard time believing that they've managed to keep *an actual print newspaper* in business this long between the two of them.

Xander has heard that Gwen let the ad sales manager go, and suggests Chloe (with her background in opera singing and... whatever the hell she did at that fashion company) for the job. Gwen pushes back, suggesting that it would be unethical to hire Xander's current girlfriend. But Xander denies that anything is going on and Gwen concedes, figuring that she must have read that in next week's Soap Opera Digest or something.

Chloe is visited by Brady, who offers her that same nebulous job back at the fashion company. The company is not called Basic Bitch (Amanda: BITCH!) but is in fact called Basic Black. Because his name is Brady Black. Also I'm pretty sure their logo looks exactly like that of the rival soap, The Brave and the Bold The Bold and the Beautiful, but I have been unable to find evidence to support this.

Chloe says "nah, I shouldn't come to work for my ex-boyfriend. That would be unethical. Besides, Xander offered me a job that I'm definitely qualified for!"

Then Xander returns home and he and Brady glare at each other for a few minutes.

Over at the Kirakases...

We know, Maggie. RESTING IN PEACE. For christ's sake, poor John Aniston has been gone since November. When the hell are you people going to stop playing this game?

Justin, having heard that Alex lost his job when he blew that big deal, has come to plead with Maggie to reconsider. Because nothing says "I am a powerful entity in the business world" quite like having one of your parents grovel for forgiveness on your behalf.

In Chicago, Maggie's daughter Sarah is still inexplicably hanging out with Rex, the living embodiment of Crayola's Atomic Tangerine crayon. They're visited by Bonnie (a sort of working-class Anna) who immediately figures out that Sarah's pregnant (mostly because she's hiding it so very badly) and that the baby is actually Xander's.

Xander put on a clown mask and kidnapped Bonnie and Susan Banks (the woman, not our cat) in the events that ultimately led to Susan (the human)'s death, but Bonnie has somehow forgiven him for this and joined the chorus of people insisting that Sarah should just give him another chance.

And look, I think they were a great match. They were both quite sexy and extremely funny together. I bought their connection and I enjoyed seeing them together. But people keep gaslighting Sarah into thinking Xander didn't do exactly the awful things she dumped his Scottish ass for. And I wish they'd stop.

Back in Salem, Alex is stil moping about losing his job, so he's hanging out with Stephanie. Then Chad returns from Greece and gives Alex the same jealous bullshit that happened when their positions were reversed. It's a good day for dudes pumping up their chests at other dudes, I guess. But not in the sexy way, like you want.

Alex leaves them to their uncomfortable couch sex and takes off. In the square, he runs into Gwen and asks if she still has that ad sales job open. "You, a man I was recently fucking, would be perfect for this job and not at all an unethical choice! Unfortunately, the position is taken."

Then she pretty much begs him to get back in bed with her with her eyes (seriously, look at that) and also with her actual words, but he stands his ground on the whole "working on myself and the way I treat women" thing. Which is honorable and probably the right thing to do, but also I feel exceptionally bad for Gwen. Won't someone think of poor, horny Gwen?

Then Alex runs into Brady, who realizes neither of them really have a lot to do right now so he offers Alex the job that he wanted to give to Chloe. And Alex accepts, realizing that he needs to do something interesting soon or he'll end up being replaced by that exceptionally boring character that this same performer also plays. (Because look, he's a fine actor but he's not good enough to make me believe he's two different people who look and sound nearly identical and just dress a little differently.)

Then he returns home to his dad, his Auntie Maggie and his ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE STILL ALIVE UNCLE VICTOR, where he's offered his old job back. But he declines, because he's gotten a much better (worse) offer from Brady.

And honestly, as "dudes in therapy learning a little humility" arcs go, this was a pretty big moment for Alex! I'm proud of the beautiful idiot!

[feralreason-a]

@a-tangerine-man sent: Employee, what are you doing with that???

The explosive rage simmering in William was at its pressure point. Fazbe.nders ruined Henry, and now it ruined Old Sport. Fuck this place in particular! had been on repeat in his mind, over and over and over. "Go cut your fuckin' teeth on a piece of lead!" William didn't even have a quippy insulting nickname, or a clever 'oh right you don't have teeth' for the Scott-formerly-known-as-Old-Sport. "Ain't doin' anything wrong! Nothin' in the employee handbook says I can't do a lil problem solving!" William snapped, supporting himself on the play structure with one hand. Under his other arm, a spare hollowed Bonnie head.

Despite all the trial and tribulations, Harrison and Clapton remained close friends and completed a number collaborations together. In the late sixties, The Beatles and Eric Clapton kicked off a nearly five-decade-long tradition of recorded collaborations. Sure, ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’, the only official Beatles recording Clapton ever played on is an undisputed highlight, but Slowhand’s fretwork also graces recordings by all four solo Beatles. In fact, the former Yardbird and Bluesbreaker is the only external guitarist to ever play on a Beatles song and on official studio recordings by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

It goes further still, George Harrison even writing a song for his pal that appeared on The Beatles’ White Album and, when listeners come to ‘Savoy Truffle’, they hear a rollicking organ part, horns, and Harrison’s tongue-in-cheek vocal about some exotic sweets. The ‘Quiet Beatle’ calls out creme tangerine, Montelimar, and a ginger sling with pineapple heart before he gets out of the first verse. From there, he sings about coconut fudge, apple tarts, and more. However, despite all the “good news”, he warns “you’ll have to have them all pulled out.” All the while, Harrison was referring to Clapton’s sweet tooth and subsequent dental problems, it was a joyful reflection of their relationship.

So when Clapton needed help with a song, Harrison was happy to oblige. “I helped Eric write ‘Badge’, you know,” Harrison told Crawdaddy in a 1977 interview, “Each of them had to come up with a song for that Goodbye album and Eric didn’t have his written.” Harrison also famously wrote ‘Here Comes the Sun’ at Clapton’s country home, following some difficulties with the most famous band on the planet. The duo toured with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends in 1969, they toured Japan in 1991 and recorded together countless times until Harrison’s death in 2001. It was proof of a friendship that was tried and tested by some of the rock’s most dangerous tropes.

It was a relationship that provided some serious support for the two rockers. In early 1969, when Cream was history and The Beatles were quickly heading in that direction, Harrison invited Clapton to sit in on sessions for Billy Preston’s fourth studio album, which Harrison was co-producing at the time. Clapton’s brilliance is best represented on the album’s powerful title track. While the verses and chorus feature Clapton’s sympathetic fills, things take off during the song’s final two-and-a-half-minutes. It’s as if Preston and Harrison pulled Clapton aside and said, “Okay, man, go nuts!” Maybe he was inspired by the presence of Ginger Baker, who also plays on the track. Clapton and Harrison also worked together on Preston’s next album, the 1970s effort Encouraging Words.

1959 Triumph 650cc T120R Bonneville Frame no. T120 026351 Engine no. T120 026351First-of-the-line examples of iconic models are always highly prized by collectors, and none more so than the 1959 Triumph T120R Bonneville. Hurriedly prepared for its debut at the 1958 Earls Court Show (it was too late for inclusion in the 1959 catalog) the ‘Bonnie’ arrived at a time when young motorcycle enthusiasts wanted style as well as substance and had the money to pay for it. Finished in striking two-tone Tangerine/Pearl Grey with matching mudguards and black cycle parts, the bike was a real looker, and the name ‘Bonneville’, chosen in honor of Johnny Allen’s record-breaking achievements with his Triumph-powered streamliner at the eponymous Utah salt flats, was an inspired piece of marketing. Although, ostensibly, the Bonneville was little more than a T110 fitted with the splayed-port cylinder head and twin carburetors, there was, of course, more to it than that. As well as the performance-enhancing top end, the Bonneville, together with the rest of Triumph’s twins, incorporated a new, stronger crankshaft assembly that development had shown was necessary to cope with the increased power. The latter now stood at 46bhp, an improvement of some 15% over that of the contemporary single-carb T110. Works tester Percy Tait had achieved 128mph at MIRA on a development bike, and even though this figure proved beyond the reach of the production version, the Bonnie was at least as fast as the opposition and much better looking, which was all that mattered. That first 1959 Bonneville was the only one of the many versions to feature the headlamp nacelle. Only the first series produced had the distinctive ‘Tangerine Dream’ livery, while other features unique to these early 1959 models were the stepped dualseat and touring handlebars. As usual, there were minor differences between the UK and East/West Coast USA models. This ‘Tangerine Dream’ first-year Bonnie was purchased from Cycle Hub (Cliff Majors) in 1988 complete with all original parts. The machine benefits from a recently completed total ‘ground upwards’ restoration by Craig Griffith, which included a concours-standard engine and transmission rebuild by John Otto. We are advised that everything is to original specification, the machine incorporating all new OEM sheet metal and correct original carburetors and float bowl. Zero miles have been covered since completion, leaving the fortunate next owner to fill the machine with all necessary fluids and undertake running in and fine-tuning. Offered with Certificate of Title.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════ character song: holding out for a hero, bonnie tyler

character file: jedi master naji iresso, barsen'thor

-

naji doesn’t like admitting a lot of things. she doesn’t like admitting she’s a prodigy, or that lifting a few crates could be as easy as breathing. she definitely doesn’t like admitting her artistic talents, or anything not related to the force. it seems like bragging, being arrogant even. the tight-lipped barsen'thor hasn’t mentioned it to anyone on her present crew, and would like to keep it that way.

which is why when she thinks she has the cockpit to herself, sometimes she finds herself singing quietly in basic while in the captain’s chair, and then circling through her small knowledge of other languages as she sings through the verses. she brushes through her hair (which has grown quite long after three years of not taking as good care of it as she should), singing as she likes, the stars twinkling back at her.

she’s about to begin braiding, which she saves for her very small portion of mandalorian she knows (mako, one of qyzen’s contacts bonded with her over their shared lack of knowledge of the elusive language, and they’ve been learning together with a certain torian cadera since), when two warm hands find themselves over her eyes.

when this first started happening, it ended in the medbay as she apologized time after time for throwing her lightsaber hilt in fear and nearly knocking him out. but, naji knows from the bare, dark hands that it’s just her husband. most likely with another surprise, but it’s her felix. she smiles as her lover reveals himself.

“naj? you busy?” he asks as she jokingly peels one hand off her face. “wanted to talk to you.”

“go ahead, felix.” she giggles, turning to meet his eyes. he’s got that twinkle, that look that says he’s got something for her. it’s a real pity, she has so many beautiful gifts from him, and she has yet to be able to find one that makes her empty her account. naji had recently found a new assault rifle that she was sure felix would love, but had yet to actually purchase it from the catalog due to shipping expenses. she begins braiding again, fingers dancing through her hair as he sits down in a chair opposite to her. “is something wrong?”

“far from it. you didn’t tell me you could sing like that.” her cheeks heat as she remembers what she had been doing before he’d arrived. “it’s…beautiful.”

“thank you.” she says, smiling. “i don’t particularly like telling others about it.”

“why not?” he asks. “not that you have to tell me, i’m just curious.”

“it’s a long story. one i’d…rather not tell, if that’s okay.” she says, her mood dropping. he picks up on it.

“well, we’ve been pretty busy for the last couple of years.”

“okay?” she’s mildly suspcious, but he’s right. as not only the barsen'thor, but also a jedi in general, she’s been fighting on the frontlines for the rift alliance and the republic. she’s had her run-ins with the sith and imperials, but now that felix brought it up, she doesn’t remember the last time they’ve had real r&r. given, both work tirelessly and other than tharan complaining about the lack of supplies, it’s never been a real problem. they’re very overdue for a vacation, by felix’s military standards.

she frowns as she realizes that they’ve never had a real honeymoon. whatever that is. she’ll be the first to admit that as a teenage jedi, she missed out on a lot of life and traditions. “what’re you planning?”

“well,” he pulls out a box from one of his lounge clothing pockets as she ties off the braid, it hangs down her back as she turns her attention back to him. “you did say ‘i do’, just not with anything..y'know, special. thought i’d celebrate three years with something nice.”

“felix, please.” she tries not to seem exasperated as she sits a bit straighter up, facing her husband’s smiling face. “i don’t need anything else from you.”

“sorry?” he half-heartedly shrugs, as she playfully rolls her eyes. they’ve gotten each other little trinkets here and there, and she loves the ones that she does receive. felix, on the other hand, goes out of his way to get the most special things for her when he’s gone for a long period of time, and it seems this is no different. he hands her the box, and right off the bat she knows it some sort of jewelry. it’s light, and doesn’t inherently make a sound when she shakes it. looking back at him once more, she quickly looks away before she loses her will to not rip into it like a child. opening it carefully with little more than her index finger, she gasps in surprise. a ring lays in between two pieces of cotton, a gold band with two crystals laid into it, one orange and one green. “took me a while to find it, it doesn’t have a match anywhere in the galaxy.”

naji hopes she doesn’t look like she’s about to cry, because that’s exactly how she feels. “i-i love it..i’m sorry, i don’t have anything for you.”

“hey, hey. don’t cry.” he says smiling, as he softly pulls the box out of her grasp, taking the ring out and closing it. “here, let me see your hand.”

trembling, she holds it out for his dark hand to take her pale counterpart. he slips the band onto her ring finger, as it sits there twinkling back at her in the dark. it’s a gorgeous shade of gold, tangerine and a beautiful verdant green. even as soon as it’s done, tears are rolling down her cheeks as she pulls felix into a tight hug. “i’ll say yes as many times as you want, felix.”

he hugs her back just as tightly, “glad to hear it, naj.”

and that’s that. however, naji isn’t actually able to get back to work for the rest of the day, not that she was working to begin with. she keeps watching the ring as if it’s going to fly off her finger in a freak accident, and nearly has a heart to heart with herself about whether to take it off before getting in the 'fresher or not. she does, once logic comes into play, but slips it right back on afterwards.

she found a gold band for him the week following. she adores the way it glints off the dim lights of their room as they lazily hold hands, falling asleep in each others’ embraces.

-

“incoming transmission. playing it now.” zenith says once they’ve gathered near the holoterminal.

“who’s it from? i wasn’t expecting any calls.” naji says, felix’s arm wound around her waist as she leans into him. nadia gives her a devilish grin before turning back to the terminal as naji silently reminds herself that she’s only a padawan and that’s no reason to tell her off.

“unknown code, can’t say i’m sure where’s it from, but it’s not from our star system.” zenith responds. felix loosens his grasp on her reflexively (they got caught by one of her masters, thank the stars it had only been master satele calling and not the whole council) as she nods to her twi'lek companion.

“hello? don’t know whether this thing connected or not. never been good with holos.” a male zabrak appears on the other side of the screen, hood down and his eyes refocus from the datapad in his hand to her. clearly, a jedi considering the lightsaber hanging from his hip. “barsen'thor.”

“master delux.” she bows accordingly after recognizing him, (he’s rather popular among the younger generation of female padawans that haven’t grasped the 'no passion’ rule just yet), giving a small smile to the holo’s camera. “it’s good to see you.”

“i could say the same.” he responds, tapping at his pad before glancing around, realizing he had an audience. he clears his throat before continuing, “however, this isn’t a social call.”

“i understand.” she answers. “how can i assist you?”

“it’s an issue on alderaan we haven’t be able to resolve just yet. whenever you can come down to house organa, preferably in the next couple of days, i’ll meet you there.” he puts the datapad down and instead crosses his arms behind his back, like most jedi rest their hands. “it is urgent, so i suggest you set a course within the day. do not come ill-prepared, there is a major chance that we may encounter imperial resistance.”

“of course, master.” the holo flicks off, and she considers his offer. “i figure we’re going to alderaan. pack your thermal clothes.”

“back to alderaan. jedi, are you not aware of how cold it is there?” tharan asks sarcastically. “i think i’ll stay on the ship this time around.”

“keep talking like that, she’ll drag you out to hoth next time we’re planetside.” felix chuckles as she shrugs once tharan looks at her accusingly. the scientist was one thing, absolutely brilliant, but also completely unable to handle the cold. naji iresso would never do such a thing as to bring the man down into the frigid weather, but she likes to entertain the idea.“i’ll set a course for alderaan then.”

“thank you, felix. nadia, qyzen, i’d like you both to come planetside with me.” she catches felix’s soft frown before he kisses her forehead and disappears, though they both know why she doesn’t take him on more jedi-related missions (speaking to the council or not, naji was still leery about letting other jedi know about their less than platonic relationship) plus, it would be good to get the trandoshan hunter and her padawan off the ship. nadia was progressively becoming stronger in the force, and soon the defender would be too small for lessons. heading for her own private quarters, she’s proud of the white haired girl. she’s come far from relying on her emotions, but she may as well instill some sort of test while they’re docked here.

it won’t be long until they dock in the organa spaceport, as they’d recently left a few days ago, so she takes this time to meditate. naji doesn’t know master delux personally, only that many see him as the 'hero of tython’ and respect him as such. he’s one of her heroes, and would be for a long time. she’d been through the temple only a few years after him, and to now have him calling on her holoterminal, asking for her help?

she grinned at the thought. felix made her feel one kind of special, but being called upon by the jedi made her feel another.

changing out of her lighter robe, she ties her hair into a loose topknot as she lies back on the bed in her underclothes. not hugely scandalous, but a pair of loose leggings and a tighter white shirt that was thermal to keep her warm. naji wasn’t lazy, never was and never would be, but she learned something new everyday from her crew. all of them had (in their own ways) helped her relax and not care as much about what other’s thought. naps were common for the female jedi because of this.

her datapad dings with a notification. picking it up in her hands, she scans over the message sent by master delux. she cringes as she reads over the contents. it mentions that she’d be disgusising herself as a sith.

a sith of all things!

the mission is straightforward enough. the republic has an agenda against the sith, and the jedi particularily have it out for a sith lord by the name of darth nox, a dark council member. her face appears on the datapad, confidently smiling into the lens of the holocamera. the darkness has clearly corrupted her, the area around her eyes dark and her skin pale. there have been supposedly a laundry list of crimes against her, imperial and republic given, and reading through them, she shivers.

corrupting a padawan?

murdering a jedi?

and those are just against the order…

and she was going to have to be in kahoots with more like her at this…gathering. it’s described loosely as a gathering and later explained to be more of an alliance agreement for thul and some other minor houses. she, master delux and his newest padawan, a certain una…vee, would be the only jedi attending, though organa forces would back them up in case something went horribly wrong.

to be surrounded by that much darkness, it terrifies naji. being able to feel the coolness of their presences rather than the radiance of a jedi’s, it’s something new entirely. something she’s only felt once before.

something she’d rather never feel again if she can help it.

but, as she continues on down the letter, it reiterates itself. she was chosen for her level head and force sensitivity. she was chosen because as the warden of the order, she had a duty not only to protect the jedi, but defend them as well. her orders weren’t to kill darth nox, but to learn about her. where she docked, where she was going next, her plans for the immediate future. anything to help bring her into custody was of importance to the jedi.

the letter finishes by warning her of not only the fallen padawan’s presence (warned not to engage unless necessary. she has apparently been less than open to speaking with the jedi), but also a possible monster (only blurry photos of the thing have been collected, and no one has exactly come back with a clear recollection just yet), kaleesh (not expected to show, but has been said to be seen traveling with the inquisitor), and a gunslinging human male. (reportedly romantically involved with the inquisitor, and highly dangerous. also, warned not to engage unless-oh, nope. just don’t engage at all.)

and oh stars, it’s a formal event. there’s a hurriedly typed note (it’s misspelt in several areas that naji craves to fix) at the bottom that mentions formal jedi robes are not recommended. darker clothing is suggested, and a holo of a suggestable dress is included. and a p.p.s, an escort is required.

she would have qyzen escort her, but no sith is stupid enough to assume she’s romantically involved with a trandoshan. and tharan, while a wonderful healer, isn’t worth too much in a fight.

naji and felix would be wandering into the lion’s den. a gathering of scandalously dressed sith, and three jedi would be in the middle of it all. lords shevell (una..vee?? havel..zee?? naji was usually well-versed in figuring out names, but this confused her.), o'vare (herself) and x'ire (master delux), would be attending in their place.

stars above, today was not her day.
