Private The Diarchy Misfits in the Water Park

[Aknoby]

Aknoby is surprised by the size of the place, still adjusting to what a society can have. The young Chiss walks slowly alongside his friends.

"So we have this all to ourselves for how many days?"

He asks, still looking around the place, full of droids and a few organics working there. He still doesn't understand how so many people were left to serve only the small group of nine people he brought there.


"Won't that make the population angry?"


He asks the group in general as he walks to the resort where the group will stay, still amazed by it all.

At the resort entrance, a human receptionist welcomes the group in general, but it is noticeable that despite the cordial treatment of the entire group because of their position in the Diarchy, most of the brown-nosing is directed at Princess Daniela.

Ak sighs as he waits for the conversation to end, curious about what this time spent there promises.

 

[Princess Daniela Virelle]

Her Radiance, Princess Daniela Virelle

Daniella did not bother to hide her amusement at Aknoby's questions. The Chiss's earnest wonder made her smile, though she lifted a manicured hand to veil it as if the expression might betray her composure.

"My dear Aknoby," she said, the words rolling with the theatrical cadence of Paradisum's court. "No one will be angry. Quite the opposite! They will feel honored to provide such a service. That is the proper rhythm of society, those who serve, and those who are worth serving."

She let the statement hang for a moment, then added with a mischievous tilt of her lips, "And you will find, darling, that it is best to allow them that joy rather than fret over it." The gesture was exaggerated enough to make it obvious she enjoyed the attention.

With a swish of her rose-gold coverlet (far too elegant for the setting, of course), she swept past the desk toward the resort proper, every step the picture of pomp on parade. "Come, darlings. Let us see whether this place can impress."

OOC NOTE - Hello everyone This is one of the first threads put up by our friend Aknoby! He is very excited to write with everyone and if you have any wonders or anything please @ me. We are doing a fun thread, come join us!

 

[Xian Xiao]

This wasn't going to be the first time Xian had been to a beach. Even if this were a water park and not an actual beach, she wore her swimsuit and carried a towel.

"I don't think so. I'm Xian Xiao."

Introducing herself to the Chiss, she gave him a small smile.

"It's just the day."

Flipping her hair back, she will probably regret not securing it better before the day is out. Looking at the Princess when she spoke, she didn't respond. It was clear she was used to having things go her way. Xian wasn't going to do anything to keep that from happening.

"Lead the way."

Offering a slight bow and nod, she fell behind slightly to be next to her partner. She wasn't entirely sure exactly what their relationship was. All she knew was that each time they were together, she felt herself growing closer to him. Smiling at him, she linked her arm through his as they walked.

[Caelan Valoren]

He had been invited by Xian to join her at a water park with some other members of the Diarchy. Being as he didn't know many people from there, aside from Reign and Xian, and as he was courting the latter, it seemed like a good idea to go with her and get to know some of the others. Apparently, they had rented out the whole place for the day.

"Well, at least we won't have lines to wait in," he said to the group. "I'm Caelan Valoren, by the way. Jedi Knight and king of the Kingdom of Devit."

With not knowing the others it was prudent to make introductions. When Xian moved closer to him, he slipped an arm around her waist and gently pulled her close.

"This should be fun. I've never been to a water park."

[Iandre Athlea]

An invitation was extended to her, and Iandre was more than surprised. Not that she was going to say no or deny the younger people of the Diarchy and Order. Wondering if she was allowed to bring a plus one, she did anyway and asked Diarch Rellik to join them. They were probably going to be the oldest present, but that didn't mean they couldn't have a good time.

Luckily, everybody showed up on time and was waiting outside the park in a small group. She wore her traditional grey over her swimsuit. Once they were on their way in, she took that off and threw the robe on one of the many chairs.

"You look cute. And Aknoby, the people aren't going to be as upset as you might think. There's safety to consider. Though if there were any issues, I do think we would be able to take care of ourselves just fine."

Listening to the princess also respond, she didn't quite agree with how she did that—layers of life. Iandre had never had an experience like this, and it was apparent the young woman was used to it. Over her years with the old Order, she had brushed elbows with nobility, and she should be more accepting of the princess.

Her attention moved to Xian when she saw her fall behind and link her arms with a stranger. He introduced himself, and she offered him a nod.

"I'm Iandre Althea, Second Lieutenant of the Lilaste Order. I haven't been to one either. Nice to meet you, Caelan."

Like Xian, she walked next to her partner and gave him a smile when she finished introducing herself.

[Saul Whesai]

Saul rested his head against the waterpark's entrance, dressed in a blue sleeveless hoodie and swimtrunks, with his eyes closed. With his recent... diagnosis... it was hard to stay positive, but he had managed to will himself out of bed to come out here for this... water park party? He didn't know anyone here... well, anyone except Iandre, and he didn't have to know how to approach her with all that was going on inside him. Plus, she was with her partner, the Diarch, whom Saul definitely didn't want to know what he really was. The last thing he needed was for Rellik to direct some goons to put a brown sack over his head and drag him somewhere he would never be heard from again...

The Cyborg mostly blended into the wall, letting the others pass by as he held his breath. He was waiting for someone, but who knows if Liin could pry herself away from her work or her extra-credit project on the Soul Stone. Saul owed the woman a great deal, and he would try to repay it however he could, whether their relationship went anywhere or not. Still, he couldn't stall forever, and as the group entered the gates, he turned to trail in behind them.

[Lyssara Thrynn]

I drop my things into my locker; I was invited by Diarch Rellik to come to the Diarchy's aquatic center and why not, after all? I brought Nyva Shei along for the occasion; it'll help clear our heads and give us a chance to socialize a little. A tourist outing, really I just had to bring her with me, poor thing.

Once in the changing room, we start getting ready, putting our belongings away neatly in our assigned lockers to keep everything safe. I only keep a standard datapad with me and my towel, and Nyva does the same.

Dressed for the pool me in a black swimsuit, Nyva in an orange one we're now ready to leave the locker room and head toward the swimming area to pick out some lounge chairs. I set my towel down on one chair, and Nyva places hers on the one beside it.

On today's agenda: relaxation, fun. I wonder if there's a beach ball to play with in the water. I glance around, then set off in search of one. I sense a few familiar auras nearby, but I don't head their way just yet first comes my usual poolside routine.

 

[Nyva Shei]

I fall into step behind my mistress, a faint smile on my lips. She was right to bring me here; it breaks me out of my usual habits and takes my mind off all those worries. The Diarchy's aquatic center isn't a place I would have chosen on my own, but why not…

In the locker room, I carefully store my belongings in the locker assigned to me. Like her, I only keep the essentials: my datapad and my towel. Nothing more is needed I'm here mainly to enjoy myself. I glance at her for a moment, focused on her own preparations, and I can't help but think how good it is to see her so relaxed.

Once changed, I adjust my orange swimsuit and join Lyssara. Together we leave the locker room and head toward the swimming area. She picks out a lounge chair, and I place my things on the one beside hers, as if quietly marking my presence at her side.

The atmosphere is pleasant, soothing. True to herself, Lyssara is already moving about, looking for something to liven up the outing probably a ball or some other poolside distraction. I watch her wander off a little, attentive but not intervening. As for me, I take a moment to soak in the setting, observe the faces around us, and feel the energy of the place.

Yes, I tell myself, this really was a good idea… It breaks my routine; no need to think about care duties or anything else it feels like a holiday. I stretch out on the lounge chair with my towel laid beneath me and check my datapad.

When mom said some of the students had reserved the water park for the day Jayna was excited to join them. She guessed that she would be on the younger end of the group, but that didn't really matter. Any group of students heading to a water park was bound to be more fun than hanging out with the old adults. And even if Jayna didn't quite fit in she would have fun at the park for sure.

Jayna arrived dressed for the occasion. She had a gray dressing robe that would hold her emergency electronic devices, in case mom needed to contact her or vice versa, that and her towel quickly found a resting spot and she rushed off to join the group. Maybe@lady shadow would be there. If mom was the one who received Jayna's invite maybe Shadow's parents had received word as well.

The group was a mix of young adults. That was good, Jayna was a well rounded kid so she was sure she could find some way to interact with anyone. There was one familiar face in the group already as she approached she recognized Ian giving her a wave. The Diarch was also a familiar face, though they had not formally met.

"Hey Ian!" she called out and moved towards the group. "And others. I am Jayna. Glad to be along for the fun!"

 

[mooney]

Moony trailed behind the group as they entered the so-called "water park." Her eyes flicked around the vibrant surroundings, but there was no real spark of interest in them. She let out a quiet sigh this wasn't her idea of bonding. Not that she really knew what was.

Her arms folded tightly across her chest, she stood in a simple black swimsuit plain, practical, unremarkable. Just like she preferred.


Then, she spotted the princess. Without much thought, Moony stepped closer, scooping the girl up effortlessly. She gave a gentle ruffle to the top of her head, tilting her own ever so slightly as she observed.


"Small," she muttered, voice low. "Like the blue one. Is this your friend?" Aknoby

[Aknoby]

Aknoby greeted and introduced himself to those who didn't know him and went to exchange, when he rejoined the group he looked around the place.

"So where do we start? There's... well, it's an aquatic arcade, from what I've read there are lots of options, right?"

He looked at the group uncertainly, he had no idea where to start so he would just follow the group.

"Hmm... maybe it would be better to eat something first? It took us a while to get here..."

He looks at the group and tries his best puppy eyes.

[Diarch Rellik]

He stood just inside the gates, towel hanging from his shoulder, watching the sprawl of slides and pools stretch out ahead. The noise, the color, the sheer scale of it — a far cry from the usual war rooms and council halls. He let himself linger in it for a breath. He enjoyed the good times when they came, cherished the rare chance to sit in them.

Movement at his side pulled his attention. Iandre slipped her robe off and set it aside, revealing more of herself than he usually sees in the sunlight. Rellik's gaze caught for a moment. Distracting him in way that was probably to obvious, yet it was hard to say he did not feel like a very lucky man in that moment.

She probably noticed him and he could not help but get a sly smile when she said he was cute. "And you look stunning."

The group was already filtering deeper inside, voices chasing after one another in small knots of energy. Iandre fell in step beside him. As the elder among them, he finally gave voice to what the day might hold.

"No sense rushing to the food," he said, tone dry. "Unless you plan on waiting half an hour before touching the water." His gaze swept the group ahead. "Better to start with the beach area huh? Get our toes wet, enjoy the lounges." Looking off he could see Lyssara Thrynn and Nyva Shei were already there. "It seems some of our friends have already made their way over there anyways."

He looked around at all of them but did not do anything to interrupt their fun. Noting that Xian was rather close to someone he had never met before. Something to keep his eyes on... yet he did not want her to feel like she was not able to live. That is what we all fight for anyway.

Pausing for a moment he did stop and reached out towards Saul Whesai poking him a small bit in the shoulder. "You doing alright?"

[Aknoby]

Before even turning to see who was talking to him, Aknoby's eyes widened in surprise. He took a deep breath to control himself before turning on his heels and seeing Rellik there. He felt completely embarrassed after Rellik's explanation.

"Oh, right, I didn't... know..."

The boy began to get agitated. One of the diarchs there still remembered the incredible combat in the arena and how the brothers and Laphisto had an epic clash in the young Chiss's opinion.

He quickly scratched the back of his neck, embarrassed and slightly shy.

"Mr. Rellik, what are you doing here with us? I didn't know we would have an adult with us."

Aknoby asks, TRYING not to look like a strange mixture of embarrassed and excited.

 

[Ryoshu Akutagawa]

Mooney's shadow fell over her, then those hands were already under her arms, lifting her as though she weighed nothing. Ryoshu didn't resist, didn't flail, didn't even blink. Her towel slipped a little against her side as she dangled, head tilting just enough to meet the other woman's gaze.

"Small," Mooney muttered.

Ryoshu let the word hang. Her expression stayed flat, unreadable. Then just barely the corner of her mouth curved.

"…Mm." A soft sound, more breath than speech, acknowledgment without agreement. "Small but strong"

She said with a smile and wink

When she was set down, she smoothed her wrap with precise fingers and fell back into step, silent again.

[Saul Whesai]

Saul was in his own head when the poke brought him out of it. Turning to see the Diarch standing over and staring at him with concern, the Cyborg couldn't help but take a step back. Rellik was... imposing with those yellow eyes looking like they were staring into his soul. It was the same effect people got when they looked at his Eletronic eyes. Except Rellik actually was something to fear...

"I'm umm... fine Diarch... Just a bit under a weather..." The bags under his eyes and the visible straining in his smile would tell anyone that Saul was lying through his teeth. He hadn't been sleeping any better since the discovery of his powers. Liin had set up some sort of machine to help with the sudden discharges, but it didn't help the Cyborg's mental state. Thankfully, he didn't have to explain anymore as the blue ginger chiss from that drawer came up to interrupt them, allowing Saul to drift away. Finding a beach chair, he plopped down and laid back, taking his sunglasses and putting them on. Pretending to sunbath would be his plan for today. He couldn't risk his powers going off in the water... Plus, between his duties on the station and his newfound abilities, this would be the first time he had to relax in a while, and he was going to take full advantage of it.

[Xian Xiao]

She chuckled a little at the comment from Caelan. It was true and something she'd not thought of.

"It'll be fun. It's been a while, but I was on a beach with the Silvers when I belonged to them. Nothing like this, though."

He introduced himself, and Xian allowed him to slide his arm around her. Doing the same to him, she felt comfortable and liked the feeling of being close to him. Drawing in a sharp breath when she noticed her master was there with Iandre, she decided she was old enough to make this decision. Not moving away from Caelan, she did not challenge the adults either. She did silently wonder why they were there, though.

Looking back, when Jayna came running over, she gave the younger girl a friendly smile.

"I'm Xian Xiao. I was your age when I was at the beach. So this should be more fun."

Did she just say that? Ugh...she was starting to sound like an adult now.

[Gavin Vel]

It was rare to see Gavin without Diarch Reign at his side. Truthfully, he had almost forgotten what it felt like to walk on his own, if he had ever truly known freedom at all. His entire life had been one chain after another. First, the Hutts on Nar Shaddaa, who had used him like muscle to be spent. Then the Sith at Kor’ethyr, who broke him down and reforged him with pain. Now, Reign. But under Reign, things were different. Gavin was not a tool to be discarded when dull, nor a beast locked in a cage until needed. He had a roof, food, and comforts he never imagined he would enjoy. More importantly, he had the freedom to train without limit, to shape himself into the weapon he always believed he could be.

Training.

That was all he ever did anymore. Months of relentless instruction, hours upon hours spent drilling with a blade until his muscles screamed, learning how to bend the Force without being consumed by it. Reign pushed him farther than anyone ever had, but recently, Gavin noticed a shift. Reign had allowed him more freedom, fewer restrictions, and the young Optio could not shake the thought that perhaps he was beginning to earn his master’s trust.

Today, the right hand of Diarch Reign was not cloaked in black robes or projecting his usual aura of menace. Instead, the gargantuan Sith wore only a pair of bright red swim trunks that were several sizes too short. The sight would have been comical to anyone else, but there was nothing funny about Gavin’s purpose. He was not here to swim. He was here to stalk.

Word had spread that Rellick would be present, and Gavin was determined to catch him off guard. His version of camaraderie was less about conversation and more about ambushes and challenges, a habit born from a lifetime where strength was the only language that mattered. The sheer absurdity of it did not bother him. That was why, despite his size, he was crouched awkwardly behind a bar, peering over bottles to watch his unsuspecting target.

“Uhhh, can I help you?”

The bartender’s voice cracked as he spotted the towering man half-hidden behind his counter. Gavin did not look at him, his eyes locked on Rellick across the way.“Keep it down or I’ll smash your head through the bar,” Gavin muttered, his tone flat, his massive shoulders rising and falling with each controlled breath. The color drained from the man’s face, his wide eyes flicking between Gavin and the crowd as he debated whether to call for help.

After a moment Gavin glanced his way, catching the look of pure terror and adding quickly, “I’m kidding. About the head smashing thing. Not the quiet thing. Uh, please, please keep it down.” His attempt at reassurance landed poorly, leaving the bartender visibly trembling.

Knowing his cover would not last much longer, Gavin moved. For all his size, there was surprising grace in the way he burst from behind the bar, his bare feet silent against the floor as he closed the distance. He was on Rellick in seconds, lunging with playful aggression as his arms snaked around the other man’s neck.

“Never let your guard down, Diarch!” Gavin bellowed with a grin, dragging Rellick into a rear headlock. His tone was boastful, full of energy, but there was no malice in the chokehold. It was roughhousing, a test, the kind of physical challenge that replaced words for someone like him. Reign had become the father figure Gavin never had, but Rellick was the closest thing he had to a friend, a brother in the Diarchy. This was how Gavin showed it, through force, through laughter, through proving his presence with action.

[Caelan Valoren]

"Been to a fair amount of beaches. My family owns an island on another planet. Small, but sometimes fun to disappear to."

Honestly, he was looking forward to riding one of those big slides with Xian. He'd heard that they were quite thrilling, and sharing that with her sounded like a lot of fun. Granted there was a lot there that looked like fun. Plus he rather enjoyed seeing her in a bathing suit. Hey, he might be an adult, but he was still male and his eyes liked what they saw.

His ears, though, heard something that perked his interest. Someone had refered to someone as Diarch. Turning slightly, he looked around the area and saw a man with another man in a headlock. He looked a little familiar, but it definitely wasn't Reign. That meant it had to be Rellik, the one who had seen fit to help Xian out and give her more in life than just working in a diner (not that there was anything wrong with working in a diner). He gave her a light squeeze to get her attention.

"Could you introduce me to the Diarch at some point? Be nice to be acquainted with both of them."

Not that he was ignoring anyone else, but as a leader, he was prone to focusing on other leaders.

"That's an old wives tail about the food before swimming. If you're hungry you're fine eating before."

[Diarch Rellik]

Rellik nodded once, reading the lie in Saul's tone but choosing not to challenge it. "Alright," he said quietly, letting a small smile surface. "Have fun in the sun, Saul. It's good to see you." He watched the man walk off toward the chairs, filing the worry away for later.

The thought barely had time to settle before a familiar shadow moved in his periphery. Then came the heavy grip around his neck and the booming voice behind it. Gavin! Immediately the Diarch knew who it was and was beyond happy. It was rare to find someone who was as tenacious in combat but as brotherly to the Diarch.

Rellik laughed a genuine, hearty laugh and let the moment take him. The towel hit the ground first, sandals skidding after it. He leaned forward under the Optio's weight, just enough to throw him off balance, then bolted for the pool's edge.

"Hold on tight," he warned, the grin audible in his tone. "WERE GOING IN!"

They hit the water in an explosion of spray and laughter from Rellik. Rellik surfaced shaking droplets from his face. "There is a way to counter every attack. Now engarde!" Rellik pulling two long floaty tubes over to the duo and challenging Gavin to a water fight.

[Lyssara Thrynn]

My head spins when I hear a voice shouting, probably my master, what is it for this time? A water fight? Who cares, it looks like fun! The giant slide in front of me is catching my eye too, so I walk towards it and climb to the top of the stairs, honestly? Lazy. I draw an ichor portal and jump in, it takes me directly to the top, in a single portal jump, the light is green indicating that I can place myself on the launch pad. The water flows under my body, which serves to give a little momentum. And above all a good dose of fun.

Pushing with my arms, I let my arms slide along my body so as not to bump into anything, having fun while respecting the safety rules is just as important. I speed through the water tunnel, following the route, it makes me feel good inside, I have fun and laugh all by myself in the tube.

Arriving at the bottom, I dive into the reception pool and quickly rise to the surface of the water. I swim to the edge of the pool and lean against it. I see the others having what appears to be a water fight with tubes. I think Xian Xiao can control her; I'm sure she'd be unbeatable at this little game. With a leap, I climb out of the pool with a smile, using my arms to help me. I go to join the group, and Nyva joins them too.

"Hello everyone, so the water is good ? I can confirm that it is."

I'm already soaked, so honestly, I don't mind getting a little water. I look towards Nyva, who has also joined us. She bows, while I give a friendly wave.
