Isolation Chamber. Vader Was Onto Something There.

[Kay-Larr]

Kay had a floating isolation chamber made for her in one of the empty rooms of the Palace. She had read about them on the holo-net. Darth Vader himself had one, although not one with water as a base. But it was within one where one could break away from everyone and everything for a moment of time. It was one of the best forms of meditation available. Given the stresses of governing not one, but seven worlds, she could use the moments alone. Two guards were posted outside of the room, keeping an eye out to be sure that she wasn't disturbed. Yet with the chamber closed and ear plugs inserted in her ears, Kay felt truly alone and at peace.

The water was heavily salted to allow her body to float in nearly a foot of water and give the sensation of zero gravity. It's temperature was the same as her body, making it easy to lose the sensation of where the water ended and the air began.

Inside the dark chamber, Kay felt as though she was floating gently in space. At times she felt as though she was slowly spinning, head over feet. In her mind she just told herself to let go.

Let it all go.

No worries. No stress. No anxieties. It was just herself drifting in nothingness. She could feel the Force flowing all around her, yet didn't tap into it. Now was not the time.

After 90 minutes, a soft tune began playing from speakers under the water. It was time. She opened her eyes and pushed the button by her foot that opened the chamber. Carefully Kay sat up and climbed out of it, the salty water made treading on the floor quite slippery. She showered and got dressed, braiding her hair and leaving it wet so that when it was to dry, it would have flowing waves to it.

Upon leaving the room, one of the guards outside spoke up. "M'Lady, [member="Stardust Raxis"] has arrived as requested."

"Thank you. Have her brought to my office. I'll be there shortly."

He bowed and patched through the request on his commlink before the two followed Kay. Before going to her office, she needed to go to the kitchen and grab some more Sapir tea leaves. More than likely her tea would provide the comfort that she needed today. Kay hatrd facing the past that she couldn't remember. But [member="Veiere Arenais"] had encouraged it for her mental health. She hoped that he was right.

What was Stardust

It made up the entire universe, it was everyone and everything. But it was also a name...a person in dire need of help in any way she could. But maybe...just maybe by helping her sister remember her even if a little, she herself could be helped

Her eyes she had wrapped to keep that golden glow from being seen by anyone, she felt ashamed she had let herself fall so far as to have that green struck from them and replaced with that golden curse of the dark side.

She was greeted by her guards that led her towards her office, she took a seat as she rubbed her temples and sighed, she needed to clear her head and let herself be calmed a bit, she hoped this would go well...maybe her sister could remember her a little after this....

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay stepped into her office, teacup in hand. [member="Stardust Raxis"] was already inside, seated and rubbing her temples. She must of had a headache.

She sipped her tea and started to head to her desk, but then changed her mind, sitting instead on one of the chairs opposite of Star. Sitting at her desk might make herself seem too distant.

Instead on focussing on herself and what she had invited Star over for, Kay inquired about her instead. "Thank you for coming, but are you alright? You didn't have to show if you are ill..."

[member="Lady Kay"]

She sensed Her come in, she waited however to look at her until she was sat across from her, she offered a small smile when she asked about her and waved it off

I am not I'll just lots going on this will help distract me from the problems

It was the truth, she hoped this would help solve a few problems, both for her sister and for herself. She shifted that fabric on her eyes to make it comfortable as she sat up

you called for me and I am here sister, what is bothering you

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay furrowed her brows. Usually she was the one to deflect topics away from herself, yet [member="Stardust Raxis"] was doing the same. Hmm. And the fact that she kept calling her sister was a bit confusing too.

She sipped her tea and then shook her head a little. "Nothing is bothering me, really. Nothing outside of my own lack of awareness in a few things. But as you may know, Veiere and I are going to have a public wedding ceremony soon. I've asked you here to invite you to it as well as for you to showcase some of your fine produce from your world to the other guests that might not have otherwise partaken in it. What do you say?"

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Lady Kay"]

Stardust looked at her as she spoke, however as she did she felt as if time seemed to slow almost....she blinked and it came back to normal as she adjusted how she was setting and gave a smile

I'd be honored to attend your wedding as well as show my produce to the people, I'm sure plenty will enjoy it. Tell me should I bring some flower wine from there? I'm sure it'll add to the party

She sat back as she frowned a bit to her own thoughts and then shook her head as she looked to her sister, she had heard a little about the two getting married but she had been so caught up in everything...that she herself hadn't paid much a mind to it

 

[Kay-Larr]

"Flower wine would be lovely, thank you."

Kay tilted her head to the side a bit. [member="Stardust Raxis"] seemed to be distracted by a lot more than just a headache. "Are you sure that you're alright? You seem a little distracted by something....Is it me? Did I forget something?"

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Lady Kay"]

She was having a hard time admitting so that she was in fact not alright at all, with all the stress she had been receiving and many many other things along side with this dark corruption....

you've done nothing sister, I have just....been placed under a lot of stress lately from many thing my mind has been distracted on how to break the chains that stress me and allow me a calm mind once more

She was pushing it off further and she hoped it wasn't obvious

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay found it odd that [member="Stardust Raxis"] kept calling her sister. But in the current state that the lady was in, she wasn't going to press her on it at all.

"I have just the thing that could help with that. Have you ever been in an isolation chamber? I had one made for me and just come out of it before you arrived. It cuts you off from everything, allows you to just breathe and let all of the stress go. Another thing to do is to delegate your tasks. I've had to learn to do that, for my own sanity was slipping."

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Lady Kay"]

She looked to Her as she gave a smile, course she delegated her work out already not that she'd say anything on that. Howecer this isolation chamber star had to wonder about

isolation chamber you say? I think I could give it a try would be quite interesting to experience

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay set her tea down and got to her feet. "Then follow me. The worst that could happen is nothing and that you'd just fall asleep. But don't worry, you won't drown. The heavy salt content in the water prevents you from sinking."

She led [member="Stardust Raxis"] out of her office and over to the room where her isolation chamber was. The tank was closed. "After I leave, you should undress, slip in some earplugs and shower with warm water. Inside the chamber are two buttons that will be near your feet. The right is for the light, the left is to open the tank. You'll have 90 minutes inside. Music will play at the end to let you know when it's time to come out. Meanwhile, when you're in there, just let everything go. Disconnect. Try not to think of anything. That'll be hard at first, but it'll get easier. Everyone experiences something different in there. Any questions?"

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Lady Kay"]

She stood With her and followed, she hoped this helped or even shed light to a few things. As they entered the room she looked at the isolation chamber curiously then to lady kay as she spoke explaining what to do. Seemed easy enough nothing complicated

nothing at all, I do help this helps....if it's helping you then it's gotta be the thing I need

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay nodded and walked over to the tank, opening it up with the push of a button. Inside it was faintly lit by a blue light. "Just remember to shower both before and after. And walk carefully on your way out. The salt will make you slippery."

She then headed out, closing the door behind her to let [member="Stardust Raxis"] be by herself. She started to her office. It was time to catch up on a bit of reading.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Lady Kay"]

She gave a soft smile as she listened to reminder, she looked in as she could see how faintly lit the chamber was. She turned to lady kay and nodded watching her leave the room

Once she was gone she went to shower, undressing and folding everything neatly before she took the blind off her eyes shining a but as she blinked looking around. She showered and then went to the chamber as she looked at it again before she crawled in and laid out closing the chamber.

Silenced enveloped her along with after she presses the button darkness. She at first squirmed a bit having trouble just letting go....but soon she relaxed as she let a breath out.

It felt beyond amazing, it felt like floating in space just...free, her body dudnt have to worry about staying a float and everything calmed. Her mind drifted to her problems as now she didn't have to worry about anything she just had to think. However even those just slipped away from her mind and she relaxed.

 

[Kay-Larr]

While [member="Stardust Raxis"] spent her time in the isolation chamber, Kay spent her time in her office, drinking tea and going over some documents regarding the celebrations. Locations, buildings, food and entertainment, all of that was completed. Even her dress and jewelry were finished. Now she had to finalize Veiere and Bradshaw's gifts. They both needed something that they could use. Kay hoped that the ship and speederbike that she was having made were going to be well received.

She sipped her tea while she went over the final details. She wasn't an engineer or pilot by any means, but she did know about speederbikes. Hopefully Brad did too.

Once the add-ons were finalized, Kay picked up one of her favourite mystery holo-novels and picked up where she left off, losing herself in it's story.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Lady Kay"]

She didn't know how long it had been since she had entered the chamber, she did know however she was gonna get one...this would help keep herself calm when she needed it

Eventually she heard the soubds to get out and turned on the lights before opening the hatch, she stood slowly and stepped out carefully as she walked to the shower. She rinsed off in the shower and dried before she got dressed, she looked to soemthimg reflective and looked at her eyes before she put the blind over them and tied it

Stardust left the area and went to kaysoffice as she sighed and spoke

a thing of grace I'd say I really needed that, thank you
