Act II: A Trip To Wonderland

[Syn]

@[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

Syn looked at Dragonsflame and raised an eyebrow while he shifted around and from the hand of his robe a blade appeared. With a look at the things coming the jedi master remained still letting his breath catch in his throat for a moment as the force flowed through all of his muscles and he was ready to fight. Then he felt great shame looking at Dragonsflame, "why." His head turned to @[member="Iella E`ron"] and spoke. "Iella get ready."

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

"Why what?" he asked @[member="Syn"], blinking as he held both his lightsabers, one in each hand. "I just kind of felt like duel wielding because-"

He shrugged and stabbed one of his lightsabers into the skull of one of the slug people, before looking at the jawa army.

"Oh kriff, I hope they're on our side"

 

[Miles Varden]

Group 2:Ball

Miles took cover as the wurms came crashing through the ballroom. He drew the heavy blaster that was on his hip, dodged an attacking wurm and shot it in the eye, killing it.

We need to find a suitable exit. Get to a defensible position. MOVE!!

[Break]

Break stood in shock as he saw the giant beasts arrive one by one. He ran to a few guests that were having trouble escaping and assisted them by moving debris and firing a few shots from his arm canon into the beasts direction hoping to distract them.

[Aran Finn]

Group 1: Attending the Festival of Light

@[member="Kitt Solo"] @[member="Holland"]

"Wel-" The ground rumbled and shook, almost throwing Alen into the tiki bar. He looked over at Kitt quickly than looked up, just as dozens of gigantic, clear manta-rays dropped out of hyperspace right over the Festival of Light. Now ... that was unexpected. Gigantic manta-rays were not exactly par of the course at galactic peace events, and they looked powerful. Gusts like Force Pushes started blowing people left and right, and Alen immediately went for one of his lightsabers. He didn't ignite it as yet, and still watched the manta-rays move as if entranced.

"Kitt, honey ... Any chance you brought the rocket launcher?" Regardless, Na'Varro began accessing his memories, channeling the Dark Side through him at a powerful rate. Who needed a rocket launcher when he could bring one of these suckers down himself?

[Rexus Drath]

Rex had another cigarette in his mouth as he stood next to vulps and his squishy Jedi friends when all of a sudden giant flying fish monsters came out of the blue. That was not cool, just when he was enjoying himself. I mean at least there was one female among them, though she was your little sister type of cute and that was not something that appealed to the knight. "Hey Vulps, tell your friend we have a problem." reaching into his belt Rex activated his imperial knights silver light saber and looked up at the large figures above head. @[member="Vulpesen"].

 

[Arla Ordo]

Group 2
There went her dance, frak. Looking up at a creature that looked like it belonged in an entirely different time. But, "Are they like krayt dragons, that would mean through the brain, or through the heart" These guys looked like they had tough hides like krayts, except for the spines.

Looking at the broken glass, she frowned she had wanted to try the wine. What a waste.

[Lois]

Group 2: The Masquerade Ball at the Citadel of Thorns

It was already happening. It was already happening.

A woman may have been seen near the citadel, trying to enter the building. She was drunker than most people over there, already singing out loud, speaking nonsense... She had her invitation with her, but wore no special clothing. She was definitely like the rest, but she was allowed in. And she knew what was supposed to go on inside.

Seeing, how people were panicking, she tried to get as much attention as possible, singing louder than people should, shouting, dropping glasses.

"PEOPLE! Don't panic! They're harmless! Come with me and I can lead you to safety!"

She shouted as loud as possible, over the whole masquerade.

[Rianna Organa]

Group 2: The Masquerade Ball at the Citadel of Thorns
Rianna took a breath, "No my love, I have mine. Never leave home without it" The pressure on her senses though had not stopped yet it made it difficult to be angry, defensive, aggressive. The force bubble would protect them for as long as it could be held. But Rianna was inclined to agree, that they needed to move or risk stomping or being eaten.

Ideas, ideas. She hated killing just because they were afraid, "well unless it starts attacking people, my question is where did it come from and what's it looking for, and I hope its not dinner"

[Emily Vani]

Group 2: The Masquerade Ball at the Citadel of Thorns

"Fortunately," she says in an exasperated tone that showed she was upset by the obtrusion, "I do." Reaching down, Emily unzips the large part of her dress, leaving flexible, skin tight black leggings. She ripped her dress top off, revealing a fashionable, mid-length sleeve jacket that ended at about her elbow. Reaching down the top of her jacket, she removes her lightsaber. She let the silvery-white blade shoot out from the hilt.

[Aika Kawakami]

Group 2: The Masquerade Ball at the Citadel of Thorns

A Heavy sigh escaped her lips as her gaze shifted into the distance. She could feel the slight breeze suddenly on her shoulder, meaning only that the massive hat upon her companions head had come off. What was the point in even wearing a hat of such a size? Certainly, it made her stick out in the crowd, but it was still just so odd. At the very least, it matched the woman's dress, that couldn't be denied, even if the dress itself was one of a kind, so to speak. "First impressions. Manners. Blah, blah, blah. It's all over rated if you ask me. And modesty? Really? They can shove such a thing right up their...."

Before her words could finish, the violent rumbling of the ground began. The sense of calm and happiness was quickly was replaced by fear and uncertainty. Aika, herself, was unsure what was happening as it seemed the entire planet around them was shaking as if it was falling apart. Finally, ass she scanned about, her eyes fell on the massive creature that, by now, lay dead in the middle of the floor. The events of the evening had taken a turn for the worse, and one could only assume such a pattern would continue. Which was something that would surely bring more interest to the evening...

Her head turned to her companion, a chuckle coming from her now grinning lips. "Well, how's that for modesty?"

[James Mathison]

James ran along the wall, using lights, drapes and paintings. He made his way to the door where the shouting soldier stood guard.

Agreed, let's get everyone out!

 

[Matreya]

@Ordo @Verz Horak @[member="Ket Van Derveld"] @[member="Rianna Organa"] @[member="Arla Balor"]

Verz wanted to kill things. Of course. Even in an environment that provoked serenity, the warrior could not deny himself. Slowly a smile stretched across Penumbra's face, that was an admirable trait. But that didn't mean that such an idea had utter logic. For attacking such a thing could be deadly for them all...

Turning his eyes slowly for a moment he nodded, "Maybe we should get the women out of here? At least then Verz and Ordo can run with myself, and we can take these things out."

 

[Rasu Gan]

Festival of Light

Rasu was just beginning to enjoy herself, listening in to the conversations happening around her, when the quake began. Body tensing, she called upon the Force to keep herself steady. Where did this come from? she thought, looking up when the sound of oceanic wailing echoed across the grassy plains. Manta Rays? Sensing the rising anxiety within her fellow Jedi, she unclipped a belt on her kimono, loosening the entire outfit, and revealing her twin weapons, positioned in the perfect place for her to reach them. Taking them up in her hands, she ignited them, washing the surroundings in a yellow and green glow. The creatures had begun their rampage by this point, terrorizing the monuments that littered the festival grounds. Something had to be done before innocents were caught in the chaos.

"What's the plan Masters?" she asked, seeing that those in their group had already activated their weapons, casting artificial light across the plains. They seemed to be ready to initiate something, so Rasu deemed it reasonable to follow their lead, they were the more experienced ones after all.

[Ordo]

@[member="Rianna Organa"] @[member="Arla Balor"] @[member="Penumbra"] @[member="Verz Horak"]

"Our women are worth ten of yours, werda, but I agree we need to head for the door. If these things start thrashing this whole place will come down on our heads."

Ordo's hand found Rianna's. "And I thought they were the entertainment." He said. She was funny under preasure and he had to smile. She was right too but Ordo doubted they had come for the wine.

 

[Adenn Gra'tua]

Group 2

Adenn didn't know what had happened in the few moments he had let his mind stray away from the banquet "wait, what the shab?" he looked around "all this in five minutes, darn." he looked all around at the other attendants, before realizing, he had brought the most trustworthy weapons in the entire universe (why, he didn't know), his dual Mandalorian rippers. He opened up his leather coat that held the weapons, then removed them from the holsters "this seems to be a better outcome then however the banquet would have ended." he looked around again for an exit, before aiming at a, from what he thought, hostile, enemy, target, whatever, he was still set on killing them, and it seemed everybody else who had a weapon wanted to do just that also.

 

[Vaudin Miir]

@[member="Rosa Mazhar"]

"And thats when she slapped me and left the hot tub!" Vaudin said to the woman beside him. If his face could be red from booze he would have but he seemed to be speaking clearly enough.

Vaudin's jaw dropped as the wine bottle hit the floor.

"No not the wine!" Vaudin said.

Then more shaking and more bottles crashed to the ground.

"Ahhh, Come on!" Vaudin threw his hands up. "All of it? All of the alcohol? Really!?"

Vaudin turned and saw the space slugs and shot down the last of his whiskey and looked at the woman who he hadn't bothered to ask the name of.

"Come on my love this Party has lost it's appeal." He said taking her hand gently (and expected the smack) "I'll show you what a Zeltros slip is."

 

[Edric Vanyan]

Group 2: The Masquerade Ball at the Citadel of Thorns

While everyone was busy getting people out, Arthur was quite literally playing distraction as he charged the closest one and feinted to one side before cutting off one of the optic stalks and letting the beast cry out before implaing it as far as he could and removing the blade, he had to jump back though as it attempted to take a bite out of him. All he would have to do is annoy it long enough for them to get everyone out of here and he sure hoped @[member="Emily Vani"] had the same idea.

Festival of Light


As people are oblivious ... as they continued to revel .. strange things are happening around them. The ground began to shake, glass shattered, the lights in the trees blinked and went out and standing became unsteady. The sight of a strange man wondering through the party goers appearing and disappearing in other places before floating above them, yelling a warning.. "They are coming now", but who? Oh maybe it is all just part of the fun of the celebrations, a mood setter maybe. Iella's eyes widened at the man none the less, mainly for his audacity to draw attention to himself. Most unbecoming.

Unaware was she of the ships exiting hyperspace and from them launched giant winged Manta-ray type creatures, their wings sending strong gusts of wind around the grounds of the Festival of Light, as strong as any force push. The beginnings of the winds .. dislodged her hat and sent it into the unknown, the she was pushed off her feet and sent flying toward one of the decorative structures. Iella's back hit the structure and crumbled to the ground. Lucky for her it was one of the decorations and not solid. However, she is winded and struggle to regain air to her lungs the dress not helping in the slightest.

The fall had her head pounding, and for a moment all she could do was slowly stand and cradle her head. Her eyes unfocused, she shook her head a little to try and see clearly. Eventually her sight returned as did her memory. She looked around and her eyes widened not knowing why she was there. "What has happened?", she asked to no one really. Then she looked down and saw the dress, "Why am I wearing this?", she was horrified by it, it was the most ugly thing she had even seen.

She looked around trying to find something familiar and she did. Syn standing nearby and so she walked to him. He told her to be ready, her senses now on high alert detected the danger about to come in a wave upon them. Her saber flew to her hand and she waited.

 

[Vulpesen]

Festival of Light- With the crowd of jedi, yet seemingly invisible.

Vulpesen looked up with an amused look. The only people aware of his existence so far seemed to be Rex, and Ace and now even among a group of jedi he could find no conversation. Then, the monster popped out of nowhere. "Finally, something happens! I knew something was off!" His own saber shot into his hands. "If y'all are ready to acknowledge me, I think we've got something of a problem." As he spoke, Ace leaped around the shoulders of the jedi, going over @Joshua DragonsFlame, @Syn, @Vexander Graves, @Aika Kawakami, @[member="Iella E`ron"] , and @[member="Rasu Gan"]. Leave it to the Ashlan wolf to help the shadow get noticed before returning to his usual perch upon his bond-mate.. Then again, perhaps they might once again forget about him in favor of the giant creature.
