A Mess

[Alli Vern]

Alli some how had gotten here of all places. She was awake long here but before she passed out she swore she saw a picture of Matsu, and the former vice Chancellor. She was out cold though. She reeked of alcohol and was generally in a very disheveled state. This was probably the worse Alli had ever been. She had somehow made it to the temple, thought that was a miracle that only Alli wren could pull off while drunk as she was. There was also the very real chance she was suffering from alcohol poisoning. Alli just stumbled through the temple and collapsed on to Matsu's bed passing out the moment she hit it. It was not a good day to see her. In fact Matsu now knew more of Alli Wren than many ever got to know.

It had been a surprise to say the least when Matsu had heard the sounds. She looked up when the doors opened expecting one of her children or a cousin but instead the red head Alli had come through the doors. With a raised eyebrow she looked at her land on the bed and the jedi master laid there while she nudged her in the shoulder. "Alli?" She didn't try and force it and the scent of booze was strong in this one.... The drunk side could be sensed in her now. Matsu smirked a little and just rolled her over being careful not to be inappropriate but still made sure her shoes were off and that she wouldn't choke if she vomited. It wasn't a jedi tenet to drink so she just pushed the force into Alli to try and soothe her. The headache in the morning might be something of a spike through the head. "Alright you can sleep here but please be safe and we'll talk about this whenever you wake up."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli woke up that morning with a hangover that could kill. She tried to make sense of where she was, that was when she noticed she was next to someone. Oh kark she thought, she had found someone to sleep with. She hoped this wasn't going to be embarassing. Then she noticed it was Matsu. Damn it she thought, she hoped she hadn't made a move on her. She then remembered why she was so drunk and wished she was back in the drunken haze. She laid back trying to get rid of the killer hang over. Maybe if she stayed still she would get rid of it. She hoped, trying to not wake up Matsu. She just wanted to fade away. To vanish. She had killed children and Circe. It was a new revelation and it now haunted her despite Circe still being alive. She was so baffled by it all and just wanted to forget it all. Alli slowly got up and went into the fresher. Where she just stood in the water, for what seemed like ever. She slowly got out.. and stole matsu's robe. Figuring the last thing anyone wanted on her were her clothes that reeked of what she had drank. She then took a deep breath and put her hand on her head, preparing her self for facing her friend, who she hoped she didn't get fresh with the night before.

Matsu had felt it.. more or less, she had felt Alli awaken and the pain she was in from the hang over. Not something she normally partook in but then again just about anything was better at times when you were in pain and as she had laid there. The jedi master had been sensing pain or at the least something creating heavy sadness. Whatever had brought Alli to Coruscant, caused her to drink until she stumbled around and brought her here. It was the jedi masters duty to help as best as she could and so she stayed there. Not putting hands on her but still projecting while she slept as much calming energy as she could to help and then she had drifted off to sleep waking up when she heard the fresher. Her eyes groggily opened while she rolled over and stretched at first being careful not to hit Alli but then realized she wasn't there. Her eyes drifted up to the roof and then to the fresher when the woman was standing there. One look was all that was needed as Matsu smiled. "Morning Alli, did you sleep better?"

 

[Alli Vern]

"Morning.." She said groggy as you would expect her. " I didn't try anything last night did I? " She asked worried that she had. The last thing she needed to do was alienate her friend. She sat on her chair and held her head. " I am sorry, I am not myself. I don't even remember arriving here on planet. So I am sorry for appearing and using your robe..." She said as she tried to think about everything but her problems . Alli leaned her head into her hands. It hurt so damn bad. She wanted to know the answer before she went further. She really hoped she hadn't tried anything.

Matsu rose and walked over popping her neck and joints. She stood there in her sarashi and pulled her hair back into a ponytail over one shoulder with a smile. "No you didn't try anything, as soon as your head hit the mattress you were out like a light. It was rather cute. Like the first time I drank. I hope you are okay and not too much has happened." Matsu stood next to her and just focused the force into her palms while she moved them to sooth Alli's headaches and pain. "It will be okay, in truth it was fun to have someone else in the bed even if it was just so I could make sure you didn't choke on your own vomit. Now can you tell me what happened?"

 

[Alli Vern]

"My ex wife is alive..." She said.. " and informed me that when i stabbed her after , her I was informed failed suicide attempt.. i murdered her body.. and unborn children.... " She broke down crying. " I know I snapped.. but she betrayed me... betrayed me to the core, and then attempted to kill herself and I snapped. I stabbed her 16 times with her own saber. I then turned her into the Omega protectorate who.. scalped her and did who knows what else to her. And some how she is alive and has the audicity to tell me she is just has too much love for one person, and tries to fix things. After all she has done. I fell for it though.. Her pheromones they worked... the tiny part of me that wants to forgive her... let in and I slept with her again, and I feel disgusting.. and it hurts.. I don't know how to feel Matsu. I want to her dead.. but I don't.. and I just want her away but now she seems to be everywhere."
She broke down sobbing. Alli was truly a broken woman.

Matsu listened and stood still at that, her dead ex wife was alive and manipulating her still. With a look at her Matsu spoke giving a smirk but also a hand to her shoulder to pull her a little closer. She pulled Alli so her head would be in her chest from their height difference and she placed a hand on her cheek. "It will be okay Alli, there are things we cannot change and some things we wish we could. From the sounds of this your ex wife sounds like a piece of work and you should do all you can to stay away from her. Love.... that does not sound like love my friend, if pheromones need to be used to get you do sleep with her she is doing nothing more then possibly raping you. If she can't be with you without befuddling your mind... It is not consensual, it is not your choice she is forcing it upon you." Matsu kept there and breathed in deeply while she let a few tears well up in sympathy for her friend.

 

[Alli Vern]

Matsu was right. Alli hugged Matsu suddenly. She hugged her tight. She just cried and worked it out by holding Matsu. Her one friend at the moment. She wished she could talk it over with Cortyh, she was better at this sort of thing. She finally wiped her eyes, and looked at Matsu. " I regret, drinking so much. It feels like I was hit in the head by something big... and heavy. " She said with a giggle. Alli was at least feeling better. She sighed, Circe brought way to much emotion in with her. She needed to get her out of mind forever. She sighed and let go of Matsu. " Thanks for being here for me, you don't know how much of a friend you are to me. " She got out, looking around Matsu's room to see what it was like to be a simple jedi.

Matsu didn't stiffen when she was being embraced but she didn't know how much to give in, still with a smile she breathed deeply before pulling Alli up to be standing. She could do some better work and knew how to cure a hangover... While not something she always did it was something some jedi had dealt with and she knew what kind of tea would serve best while speaking and moving Alli over to the bed. So she could sith down or lay down if she was still feeling like poodoo. While Matsu went off there wasn't much in the room, all Alli would see if she looked were bare chambers with a few spare robes, her belt, a necklace or two with force crystals. A necklace in a box addressed to Alli Wren with a thank you card for her help on Corellia.

Then four holo photos. One of Matsu standing there with another woman who had white hair and green skin, one of her and her two daughters Reiko and Orihime, one of her with several woman and children all sitting around a table for a meal and finally a new one compared to the other of Matsu with the former vice chancellor and senator of Hapes... Hanna. The look on the jedi masters face something of a smile while the rest of the nightstand held nothing but datapads and texts. Matsu returned with two cups on a plate and a tea pot while she focused on it. Heating the water with the force perfectly and letting the scent of jasmine come. "I hope you are ready and able, one of the best things for headaches is tea."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli tried to smile. " I am looking forward to anything that gets rid of this hangover. " She said as she took in the smell. "I didn't know you knew Hanna Vondirnach, I have watched her move through the ranks. She is an interesting politician, and I hear the chancellor wants to know what color underwear she wears. " Alli said with a giggle. She was doing alo better other than the splitting headache. She sighed " I am glad your my friend, I didn't know who else to talk about this with. I have very few friends in the galaxy. You are one of them. I apparently could realize that even plastered."

"Hanna is very much an interesting woman and I care for her very much. Her friendship and affection mean the worlds." The notion of the chancellor playing a game to guess her underwear well she had met him twice and that didn't surprise her. If anything it seemed tame in comparison to what she had heard he could convince rooms of people to do. Then Matsu was sitting there with the tea and held it up for Alli to take while she listened to the rest. "That is good though, you knew you would be safe here and as you can see no taking advantage of you. I know you are a powerful woman but this is the most fragile I have seen you. Whatever your ex wife did is something you should try and forget or even detach from. She sounds like a terribly vile person to kill herself and then blame you for it."

 

[Alli Vern]

All sighed. " I know but I just can't help but blame myself, I mean I know I didn't but still somehow part of me calls myself a monster. Even though she is in another body and alive still. I just want to forget her." Alli said smiling at the thought of a happy Matsu. " I haven't seen ventasia in forever, I don't know where she is. I have looked which means she is either hiding or something happened to her. I was just starting to open up to her. I really like her and I just wish I could find her and hold her tight. But I can't and I have looked everywhere. " She said admiting something she hadn't even told a soul. She couldn't find her girlfriend and it made her sick with worry. Alli took the tea with a smile and drank some, feeling it warm her body. "hmm" she managed to get out as she drank some more.

Matsu listened and gave a nod, after she had seen Ventasia off of Coruscant she had went to meet Alli for the first time. She hadn't seen her since then either but helping Alli get over something. That she could do. "Well for Ventasia I do not know what I can do but you are not a monster Alli. Monsters do not call themselves such things, they believe they are smarter then others, stronger, more able to out think. It is something they lie to themselves about to mask their lack of anything of value. Compare yourself for a moment to your ex wife. You have friends who trust you and man for you, she is a war criminal who killed herself to try and escape her punishment. You help people and work to make the galaxy better, she only seeks betterment of herself and will sell anyone out. You are stronger then you know, more powerful deep down compared to many and someone who can help the galaxy instead of one wo wants to simply rule it. Everything you have done is in spite of her and because your the better person. Do not let her darkness weigh you down to being on her level rise above it and help the people. Then you shall always have the support of the people."

 

[Alli Vern]

"Thanks, I needed this. So what is new in the life of a Jedi, do I need to approve anything from Sasori? I haven't seen anything reach my desk of late so I have been worried. " She said, going to the buisness Alli that everyone new. It was her. She took a deep breath and a big drink of the tea. " I really need to lay off my drinking. I haven't hurt this much sense.. I foolishly challenged ventasia to drinking. I lost horribly.. I don't know how she does it. " She said finding her self thinking about her again. " I am a hopeless romantic, even when I try to put the one I care about out of my mind I think of her. hmm I will have to hire Patches, he should be able to find her. "

"At the moment we have only a few things, possibly a small training ship or some more robes. The life of a jedi does not mean for much comfort. Most knights and padawans barely have more then what is in their pockets. The masters even don't have much, I have a few pictures a box or items or two and keep it with me on my ship. However business is good for you I hear and lots of good news since I have been around the senate more often. Have to keep up to not seem out of touch with everything." Matsu was glad to see that Alli was focusing on something other then her ex but on her current girlfriend might not be a wholly good thing either. "I am certain Ventasia is fine, she will come back to you and then the four of us. You with Ventasia and me with Hanna will go and enjoy a double date."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli smiled " A double date sounds wonderful, I will let you know when I find her then. So, can I get you anything? I want to do something for you. Your are totally worth it. and it is the least I can do to my favorite business associate. Do you want a speeder, a ship, maybe a trip, hmm I don't know the sky is the limit. So let me know. " She said wanting to pay back Matsu for her kindness. That was how Alli worked, if you were her friend and were there for her, she did something grand for you. \

A ship, a speeder, a trip, it all sounded wonderful but jedi needed no rewards as Matsu sat there and she smiled. "Well I do not know where I would go on a trip but I do have a ship and a speeder.... I haven't needed one of those in ages. Flying is easier still the offer is wonderful but a jedi needs no rewards for their friendships. I don't want anything from you but your friendship and when we do a double date possibly to pick up the check... I don't have the money of you or Hanna." Matsu laughed a little and wrapped an arm around Alli's shoulder while she pulled the box to her hands. "This though I have for you it is a product of Sasori but not made for mass production. Only so many were made and able to be created. For your help on Corellia with Omega Protectorate." Matsu opened it up and took out the small necklace with a crystal and gold chain as she smirked. "Your help led us to something surprising and there we found the designs for this. It will help your mental shields and increase your stamina."

 

[Alli Vern]

Alli looked at it and took it admiring it and putting it on. " Thank you so much., it means alot from you." She said admiring her new necklace. It wasn't everyday that she got to be with Matsu. " Well I have to do something about clothes.. because well those are rather rancid.." She said point towards the pile of clothes that one might question if they were drenched in alcohol. " But I will find something for you, I know if you ever get married, count it paid." She said with a smirk and as if it was just that easy. She had thought about it and well that would be hopefully coming, if her and Hanna were nearly as good a couple as she imagined. " Of course, that is as long as I am invited." She said it being a done deal already.

Matsu looked at Alli and smiled at the idea, a joke for now she and Hanna had only been together for well not that long but it was a great time. She wouldn't say no but sometimes you needed to take it slow she had spent nine years last time, now though. Now she looked at the cloths and the woman in the towel as she stood up. "Well we can't have you walking around in a towel and strutting around naked while not something I would turn down... We can't have that. A naked woman leaving the jedi temple might raise many questions." Matsu just smiled as she motioned for Alli to rise and stand with her. "So we will just have to find you something to wear, I should have a robe you can wear. Or maybe a kimono though most might not look at good with your red hair."
