Something about Rav's first IC post impressed me:

viewtopic.php?f=61&t=283#p1221

Incidental music played as the Hutt waited for his call to be transferred. His call was important to the Republic, whose operators were busy right now. Eventually the sounds of a busy hanger deck could be heard.

"...no no. That's a school yard error. Look, if you tighten these bolts too much this whole piece will shear off when the pilot does something stupid."

A garbled but questioning voice could be heard in the background.

"This is a Spitfire, they are fighter pilots, of course they'll try something stupid. Look do it like this."

There was a metallic sound and more garbled questions.

"What's what flashing? Huh? Oh, the comm. This is Specialist Devaroo, what's the nature of your problem?"

[Niall Organa]

I don't know if it's bad form to do two for Rav in a row, but...

"It's probably real nice, but not a patch on my old stompin grounds. I used to go hunting every day back on Uvena." He took a big slug of the kaff and wiped his mouth on his sleeve, which left behind an oily mark on his snout.

"Of course now I'm a little...rusty." Rav's expression asked the question - Do you get it? Do you? Do you get my pun? You like puns don't you? - but he just kept quiet and took another sip.

Such a good boy!

“I did what I had to do, I was here to keep folks in line they wanted to murder some children to send a message things got chaotic, ended up having to kill everyone. Got shot for my troubles and then you folks showed up,” he said honestly.

“As it stands I can’t go back and I don’t want to, but it’s not like your just going to let me go either. I’ll kill for you, like a work release program.”

I don't know why, but I loved the comparison to work release.

And still convinced that's Craw's daddy!!

“Sounds like Jedi Knight business, spill it Resting Sith Face,” he responded.

Ahaha! Love it

Ashla takes him on board and gives him a quick tour (quick because there's not much to show in a small ship). There are few personal possessions, but there was a few children's drawings, including one that looks suspiciously like a blond man holding some sort of device.

Diagnosis: adorable.

Did not expect to be getting such an impressive character moment out of this thread from Layne, but here it is:

viewtopic.php?f=47&t=360&start=25#p3654

She looked at Lunda, and for a moment Niall's fears appeared to come to fruition, before Layne shrugged and she opened her mouth again.

"Well, they put these Sith overseers in charge of our education see? Ours was a real bitch. Hated my guts from day one since I was just a slave who'd somehow killed a Sith, which earned me a ticket to the academy. Also didn't like how I survived being throw in the middle of the desert with no supplies and no clue what the hell was even happening other than being told to make it to the academy. *Definitely* didn't like it when, after I made it back, I punched her in the face even though she dared me to. And *really, really, REALLY* didn't like how she only got to slash me with a lightsaber *once* before her master stopped her. I think you can guess her response when he started grooming me to be his next apprentice."

She stabbed a utensil at a blob of food, sticking it in her mouth and making short work of it before, halfway through chewing, continuing the story.

"So anyway, the faculty put on this high society party the next day, with all sorts of dignitaries and nobles visiting. Not to mention dark council members. Only the best thorough-bred students allowed to attend, of course. Which I'm not. So I just threathen the guards outside of the door and barge in anyway. Cue angry death glares, and me walking up and mocking the overseer. Who can't murder me in front of all those people because it'd be poor form or something, right?"

Layne stabbed at some more food.

"So she thinks she can get someone else to do it for her. Because like, there's this super scary dude there who everyone's afraid to talk to because he's the Emperor's Wrath. You know, the Emperor's personal executioner. Even the Dark Council's terrified of him. And the overseer thinks she can taunt this dumb slave into talking to him and get herself murdered on the spot, right?"

She put the food into her mouth, a good cliffhanger for a moment as she chewed on it for a bit.

"So anyway, I go talk to him. I'm like, what's up? Boom. Dead silence in the room. Like, everyone goes quiet like you see in the holos. Everyone's looking at me. Then the Wrath says my name, and compliments me on my lightsaber skills. Says I have the eye of the emperor on me, and invites me to join the conversation he was having with some council members. After that, everyone started calling me Little Wrath."

She leaned back in her chair and looked at the rest of her plate.

"Got me all the enemies, of course. But man was it satisfying upstaging them," she said, before looking at Lunda, rather intensely. "That was probably the moment I stopped thinking of myself as nothing more than a slave, so your master'll just have to forgive me for holding on to it."

"Alas poor Rekto. I knew thee not."

[Rav Devaroo]

The Chief was here with a small team and reclamation equipment, normally he wouldn’t go this far for a civilian craft but he heard this crew nearly gave their all to break the blockade so he felt they were owed some good fortune.

“Jenkins, get those cables tightened, I want this bucket hauled back to camp. She might like look like mynok dung now, but after we get through her she will fly again… or whatever a Turtle does,” he grunted.

“Strictly when we have free time, of course,” he said observing the work. “The Mando’s did a number on her, that folks is why you don’t torpedoes to the face. Surprised they got down to the surface in one piece… and alive.”

Jenkins makes it into the canon! I don't know why I'm so happy about that but I am

“And just for tonight every purchase gets a free girathan goat,” Jo added and dumped a baying creature in her hands.

“Best milk… I think… or is it fur… or both!”

Aran had jumped to answer Dr. Rexa's request, sure that the Masters would approve of stopping such wanton and ignorant destruction. He had found a place in the shadows to stand sentry, his hood up, until the moment of confrontation came.

Then Aran stepped forward, his lightsaber casting a blue glow over the scene. "Looks like you guys are about to be..." He paused to slowly pull his hood back, in the same motion adjusting his sunshades. "-- history."

He had thought really hard about that line while he had waited.

Credit to Niall for the CSI-ism.

I snorted my ice coffee laughing reading this.

Thazos appreciated the turn out from the Republic and then approached the bodies and many of the refugees and resistance grew quiet, many knew the man and many had fought alongside or been aided by him.

He removed a knife from his boot, it looked worn as he placed his fist around the blade and dripped blood on the burial shawl of each of the dead. He then said, “Sorry I am not really good at speeches. I knew Yasim, pretty much all my life, more balls than brains he would say when talking about himself. He didn’t know fear, I mean he probably did but he never let him stop him.”

“He was like a brother, blood-kin, and I’m sure in his final moments he didn’t fear for himself, only those he was protecting. We quarreled, we laughed, and we fought together; we bled and we lived, and I was there when he met his wife Ulia, still surprised she married him. He was a good man, good brother, good father, and I am sure his ancestors have fed him the sweet milk.”

“We’ll carry on the fight, for all of them. We are the blood that has come before,” he finished and handed his bloody knife to Ulia and she nodded in understanding.

He nodded and then departed. There was silence and the songs continued.

Enjoying how Rekto is vilified/denigrated across the board. Still, the truth is that...

Bad form to link your own threads, I know, but in my defense I'm just the straight (wo)man here and Veeone is the adorable one.

This bit with the vision of Evil Layne is pretty neat:

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=503#p6833

She can’t get a steady read on Vasir’s emotions, she seems calm and analytical. But the strain of the dark side through her body causes her nose to bleed. More importantly she saw an after effect image of a woman smiling, but it’s the kind of smile that denoted violence.

She focused her eyes on Layne and said, “Stop pretending.”

"I can..." He pauses to adjust his cards from showing themselves. "...understand the sentiment. I am Nudimsu. Former of the Ascendency, now pilot and owner of the Turtle. It's fine for your rudeness; I am often told that I often lack the capacity of the social nicities; I care more about the results and what you would bring. You can leave the rest to the politicians." Looking him over again, his mind beings to go suspect. Gifts do not plop out of thin air. Perhaps there was a different angle to this. He had to press on.

"The Duros name does bring with it a certain expectation, but what is it that you think you can do with my ship? It doesn't leave a whole lot of space for customization. Hell, I had to make due with the additional anti-infantry upgrade I installed with it, as well as the music system that Nai'tiri demanded we put in there." Not that we would ever say no to her; Chiss women were very commanding...and her adopted Mandalorian attitude did not make things any easier.

This fills in so much space of what I imagine Nai and Nudie's interactions being like.

The site is questionable it seems to be about some strange text based game where people seem to pretend to be other people or something and seem to be telling an interactive story. Utini_Mutiny seems to be a moderator here.

One can make a post to a message board or jump into a live text chat.

What if... our characters make accounts in the game?!?!
