Taste my supersonic lullaby

[Brooke Waters]

There were vibrations to everything. This was something that science taught. Every item, every atom had their own vibration. And moved in their own wavelength. Waves, like light, sound, and even one of her favorite, ocean waves, had a period, and frequency, height and speed. That was what made things so much more vivid, lights, sounds, music, the whole of existance. Now in another life, Token Waters might have been something else, a witch going to a school that was hidden from others, or somoene who would help ferry lost souls to the next phase of life.

But here?

Here she was someone who didn't fit in the Jedi, nor in the Sith, and had to find her own way, because no other path made sense to her. She lived in the Fringe with her partner, Sindy, of course, but lately? She was making her way across the galaxy into the Levantine Sanctum's free space. Sindy knew, of course, so did most people. But Token wasn't out to sell secrets, she was just trying to find the places she could live and learn who she was. And both Fringe and the Sanctum allowed her to do that.

Here she was, working on herself, and not at all chasing down every tropical and aquatic world in the galaxy.

Nope.

And Laekia seemed like a nice place, plus, going from Annaj and Sabarene over here? It wasn't a full move, but still... It was a nice place so far. Was it a good place to be training? She hoped so.

Walking down the shore, she was reaching out to the Force, it was... something in it was different for her. She couldn't feel that electric feel (ooh, girl) that she was used to. The one that she knew was inside her. It was... Different, it felt warm, but it also felt... vibrations? Was that it?

She looked up and down the shore. What was this? How could she access it?

Was it music? The music in her? Was that even a thing? Or the Force, could it affect and be used like sonic weaponry?

 

[Brooke Waters]

Token was okay being by herself, she loved others, she loved really everyone and anyone, as long as they weren't trying to kill her, or didn't come off too stupid-evil. Some people who were evil at least followed rules, they were nice. She could tolerate them, because they weren't crazy. But then there were the chaotic mindsets. Those people made her nervous, no matter who they were, good or bad. Someone who had a logical path would be good. Still, she was all sorts of emotions on top of emotions.

Making her way in the direction of the rising sun, she smiled. It was a great day out here. She soon found a nice spot, that wasn't much different than the other spots she found, but still, it was good for her. She smoothed her skirt out and sat down on the sand.

What she could use here was a pet. Too bad there weren't any that were from that game, where all sorts of animals had all sorts of critters with powers! That would be nice, run around with a turtle that had two cannons on its back. Or she could just get a Herglic bodyguard, some DID work with Bright Star.

Taking a deep breath, she reached out for the Force, could feel the waves in the ocean, and the vibrations in the sand, the path of the wind. (And could probably paint with all the colors of it).

This was the life.

Even if it meant she needed to try to figure the Force out.

 

[Poro]

Poro was running through the fields. This planet was great! He went all the way up a hill and kept running...he soon realized that the hill gave out quickly and an sloping expanse of sand was below him. With an "Oomph!" he fell down and rolled down the sandy beach. He rolled back onto his feet and kept running. What was this brown stuff!? It looked kind of like mini-mini-mini-mini stale Ropo Snacks! He had looked down at the ground for too long and he accidentally rammed into [member="Token Waters"]' back. The impact was harmless, but he bounced off and rolled around a bit. He picked himself up, shaked the sand loose, sneezed loudly, and flopped to the ground, exhausted and breathing heavily.

 

[Brooke Waters]

Token was in deep thought, watching the waves, and recalling the lessons she learned from her old master [member="Manu Xextos"] while she lived in the Fringe. She still lived there sometimes, but came out here to learn the Force in a... was it a controlled environment? She felt maybe she could learn something from the Jedi out here. The waves, the training, how the Force ebbed and flowed. And how she never wanted to have that electric feel she did the day before she found herself in Sith space.

She wanted to feel warm with the Force, not scared.

And that thought was what was interrupted as something bumped her. She turned around, still seated, she smiled. “Hello there!” She reached out a hand to [member="Poro"], because Token was one of those friends-to-all-living-things types.

 

[Poro]

Panting a few more times, he heard something speak. He opened his eyes and calmed his breathing as he saw a beautiful face and an outstretched hand. He perkily got up onto his feet and started panting like a high-pitched dog. He jumped onto the outstretched hand but then rolled right off and landed with a "whoomph" onto the sand. He rolled back up and then stepped onto the hand which had been laid on the sand. As she picked him up, he rubbed his face into the palm of her hand, tickling the skin, and squealed with joy.

[Brooke Waters]

It was friendly! Of course it was, this whole world was friendly, and unless you messed with Token's loved ones, so was she. And she was working on learning to live and love and let live again. And trust. She giggled at the critter and after it fell in the sand, started petting it again. "What kind of creature are you?" She said, before taking a deep breath. Could she touch it in the Force? See how it was vibrating, what it felt like?

[Poro]

When Poro stopped muzzling her hand, he looked up at her. Strangely enough, he suddenly had a moustache on his face. A blonde one! An innate part of the ropo's senses could feel the strong Force presence of the lady before him. Since he liked her so much, he had acclimated to her presence and thus grew an appropriate mustache.

Poro looked down at the new curiosity, sniffled a little bit, and then looked back up at the woman. He started smiling and panting again. He especially liked the petting.

[member="Token Waters"]

 

[Brooke Waters]

She looked back down at the Ropo and blinked a few times. Was it... did it? “You can change colors?” She spoke. There were lizards that did that on Brokellia, her homeworld that should she ever find the people responsible, she'd shatter all their owns, and probably not even cuddle them afterwards, but nothing that was this cuddly. And fuzzy!

Yeah, it was a wonder Sindy dealt with Token sometimes. But the girl did go through changes, between the Dark and Light on the Force, and right now she was somewhere happily in the middle. She was going to have to work on her Force training afterwards. Right now there was a cuddly something or another! “What else can you do?”

[Poro]

Her last words sounded inquisitive and they were said after he had changed, so Poro felt like it was a good time to show off. He squinted his eyes and, with a cute little grunt of exertion, he changed his fur and eyes.

He looked up at her and panted with pride, his slightly moist, big tongue sticking out and hanging down. He jumped up and down on her hand because he was very excited. He was too excited, though, for he then landed on the side of her hand and fell off. He hit her leg, rolled down it, and landed on the sand with an "OOmph!" He got up and shook himself off. Looking up at her, he smiled and really felt like showing off. So, he furrowed his cute little ropo brow and grunted with more exertion. Color popped up in random places all over his body until he looked like this.

He rolled around and around on the sand. He jumped up in the air about as high as her midsection since she was seated on the ground. He shook the sand out of his fur and jumped into her lap. He was tired now. He reverted back to his previous color change and laid contently in her lap.

accidental repeat post. But what I can say is that I found out that these urls only work on Google Chrome. I need to find a better way to post these pictures...

 

[Brooke Waters]

The blonde really did love all the things in the worlds. The living things, and hell, even some of the macabre. That was a new bit, since she lost her brother, she supposed. She and Sindy had an animal back in their flat, other side of the galaxy, but here? She was exploring and making her way out to figure the world out. And that was when this [member="Poro"] showed up.

Silly little critter. She smiled as she watched it, and reached out slowly with the Force to touch its mind.

“You're getting all sandy, little.... guy?” Or girl, or mux. Whichever.

She smiled as it crawled into her lap, and she started petting it. “Where'd you come from?”

 

[Poro]

Poro felt a presence on his mind, so he relaxed and started dreaming. He was dreaming of his home planet, Hoth. He could see many other ropo around him. He was happy. He watched as many hands from many large, mean, white, dangerous creatures soon started plucking his family up and taking them away. Poro was the only one who ran and now he was alone. This made Poro start crying in her lap and start kicking in his sleep.

[Brooke Waters]

The little ball of fur was from Hoth? Token was connecting with that and visibly shivered. The girl preferred tropical and coastal areas, not frozen wastes. Still, she supposed it could be pretty. But the desert and the beach, those were places she'd want to stay. Maybe her afterlife would have a desert, and snow, all around a tower that is found in a field of roses.

And that was when she started feeling the fear. Her body quaked again. So much pain and fear in this little critter. But how did it get out this way? Other side of the galaxy? How did it survive? She was petting [member="Poro"] idlly. She was hushing him and running her hands soothingly over his fur.

 

[Poro]

Poro was running away. They thundered after him relentlessly. Poro was getting tired. He tripped and fell onto something metal. He was whipped up into the air and held suspended high up. The monsters ran by, oblivious to his disappearing act. It was windy up there and for once in his life, he shivered. Not just from the cold, but from the loneliness and fear. It felt like forever before his cage was lowered. When it hit the ground, he looked up to find out for an exit. A large gloved hand descended upon him and roughly grabbed him. He tried to struggle and become free, but the grip was so tight that it hurt. He felt something long and sharp enter his body before he lost conscience.

Poro suddenly woke up, but didn't make a noise. He just kept staring wide-eyed at the ocean waves, his body shaking, and he was trying to calm down his furiously beating heart. He was too afraid to go back to sleep. He didn't want another nightmare.

[Brooke Waters]

This was a dark, scary time for the little [member="Poro"]. Token was so sad for the little guy. She could understand the fear and loneliness. After she lost her parents, she was terrified, evening going so far as running to the Sith Empire for protection. And after Corellia broke, well. She hadn't heard from her brother. She ran to the Fringe, which was home, where Sindy was, and now... She was wandering trying to find out what the vibrations in her head were, that was why she was in the Sanctum. What she meant, was she understood fear.

And that she was living somewhere between the light and the dark.

There was so much more to the Force than that, as it was.

Feeling the little critter wake up, she continued petting him and rubbing his fur. She still didn't know how he got here, to Laekia, but it didn't matter at this point. She was going to need to protect him.

[Poro]

(Sorry. It was an off weekend.)

Poro lay there content in her lap, his eyes lazily closing as he appreciated the petting. After a while, he then let out a sigh of appreciation. The water looked interesting, so he watched as it ebbed and flowed. He inched closer and closer to it, but then he soon fell off the end of [member="Token Waters"]' skirt and face planted into the sand. Unperturbed by this, he rolled onto his feet and walked to the water line. He watched it come close and then leave, come close and leave. Maybe the water was nervous about him? Maybe it was waiting to attack?! Well, this water didn't scare Poro. Poro knew that he could take this one on, and when he conquered his new enemy, all would know the power of Poro! He crouched down in front of the water line, waiting for the "aggressor" to show its cowardly face. The water rose above the normal line that it had been reaching and Poro nervously jumped back a bit when it lapped at his feet.

This transgression wouldn't be tolerated! CHARGE!! Poro crouched down once more, wriggled his butt in anticipation for the pounce, and then bounded forward as fast as a little ball of fluff could manage, chasing the retreating wave. He chased after it, bark-squeaking along the way, but it managed to escape him. He then tried to quickly stop as he saw a larger wave coming up behind the one he had chased. His sudden stop made him skid on the wet sand, do yet another face plant, and then roll towards the oncoming wave. He tried to turn around and run back to safety, but it caught him and tossed him back to shore. He landed with a "Whoomph!" and he laid soaking on the beach. Another wave came forward and past him, except that he was now being pulled out to sea by the retreating wave...

[Brooke Waters]

The water was really cool. Token loved the ocean. It ebbed, and flowed, and moved like the Force did. She had done some research on the Force, and her family, apparently there was a connection by blood to the Starchaser family. Maybe that was why she had a strong sense feeling? And could connect well to others in the Force. Including animals, like little @Poro. The blonde saw the critter move to the water and stood up, brushing sand from her backside and kicking off her flip-flops. She had a braided anklet on her right leg, something she made for herself. But she was watching the water, same as the Ropo. It was her favorite place, aside from being at a concert, or mixing music.

Yeah, that was something she was determined to get back into soon.

She was watching the little furry critter and grinned. See? This was one of those moments that was beautiful. Token still had that strong sense of 'enjoy life' despite all she'd been put through. And she was really only wanting to develop a Force power that could use these vibrations she was feeling to protect her and hers. And that was when she was realizing that the little guy was having a bit of trouble. Watching him for a second, seeing if he was going to struggle, before taking action, she wanted to make sure he didn't need help.

 

[Poro]

Being a ropo from Hoth, Poro didn't know how to swim. He flailed his legs wildly every which way. His head broke the surface once and he had a short respite to cough and drag in air before he plunged back under. The sea started pulling him further out.

[member="Token Waters"]

 

[Brooke Waters]

Right, this was a serious situation. The blonde bit her lip as she was pulled from idyllically watching the sea to seeing that [member="Poro"] was struggling. Furry little critters from... Hoth. Right. Snow, not water. She shook her head and started to wade out into the water, only half worrying about her clothes getting wet, because she was a bit vain sometimes, seeing if she was getting closer, she shook her head. Can't use the Force, she wasn't sure what would happen. Last time she used the Force all excitedly, there was a lot of lightning.

And with the way she was feeling vibrations, she didn't want to like... shake the little guy to death.

She quickly pulled her tanktop off, glad she actually dressed for the water and dove in. Looking under the waves, she saw the Ropo and reached out for him.

 

[Poro]

There was a point in his turbulence where Poro was still, rather than flipping around. When this happened, he was able to see [member="Token Waters"] reaching her hand out to him. In response, he tried to reach his tiny paw out to her. The wave then shoved him towards her and the shore. About 6 meters away, a small Arruvian Sand Shark casually swam close by, his current path leading him ever closer to the two...
