Infinitum

Heavy curtains blocked the rays of light that desperately wished to invade Cyrin Val’s sleeping chambers, but exhausted as he was from the previous night’s affairs, he wouldn’t let them. He lay face down, snoring into silk sheets. The heavy blankets cast off onto the floor as their warmth became uncomfortable. Left to his own devices, he might have stayed there several more hours, unfortunately he was not.

The heavy oak door slammed open against the wall, and the clangor of armored boots on stone floors roused Cyrin from his slumber. His eyes cracked blearily, but as the sound fully registered he sprung out of bed, saluting as seriously as he could, considering his silk nightclothes. Mailed arms were crossed over a red steel breastplate as Lorus Val took in the state of the room.

“Why are you still sleeping?” he asked, continuing without awaiting an answer. “You have duties to attend to, and you will not spend the whole day lounging about and making me look like a fool.”

“No, father, of course not,” he replied with respectful deference. “I will ready myself immediately to participate in the Imperator’s Treasure Hunt-“

“No, you will not. The Legend Relics are too powerful for you to wield considering how you handled yourself last night. I will be pursuing them, you will be pursuing the prisoners you let escape,” without another word, his father strode from the room, closing the door behind him.

Cyrin sighed, his narrow shoulder’s slumping. He’d really wanted to leave Infinitum. He had the sneaking suspicion that the… girl from last night was still lingering in the shadows, waiting for him. A shiver raced down his spine at the dark swirl of emotion, the cold empty eyes, the child-like mannerisms. Suddenly noticing how many dark corners his chambers held, he threw back the curtains to let in the sun’s warm light. Feeling just a little refreshed, he set about getting dressed for the day.

@KoLIt's seriously less "Star Wars VII" and more "Star Wars IV II"

In Hunting Beasts and Monsters

A variety of sounds and smells assaulted the sleeping Lazar, but despite the undertone of panic and fear they held the man continued sleeping comfortably in the dirt. At least until the gunshot jolted him to wakefulness. Instincts he didn't remember earning kept him lying still as he pieced together the scene. A filthy rag in his mouth and old ropes around his legs and arms constituted his bindings, but he didn't try to remove them as he listened to the different mutterings and exclamations from the other occupants of the room. When he felt sure that no one was looking at him, he picked up his head to see what was going on.

Most of the occupants seemed to be prisoners, like himself. Some were standing, dark shapes in the distance, who might be captors. Against the far door a woman stood with commanding posture, clear even in the dark, and from the holster bulging at her hip he presumed she was the one who fired the gun. As he watched, others were working at their bindings so he figured he might as well seize this opportunity to do it too. First, the gag was pulled out, then he rubbed the back of his hand across his brow and licked the salty sweat to get the taste of filth out of his mouth. Then he set thick, clumsy fingers to his ropes, unsuccessfully. How did I get here? He thought. Memories of heat prickled his skin, smoke that made his eyes water, but not much beyond that.

I thought it was a re-skinned Star Wars IV

@Wyverntamer Oh, that's good to know. If I see anything else I can help with, I'll send you a message.

@Spriggs27 Actually, I watched Star Wars last night with some friends and got to drinking a little before and a lot after. Not that being accepted into two RPs isn't worth celebrating, though.

I'll post as soon as my hangover has left me alone.

@Wyverntamer Coincidence*

@KoL Is the Judicial Division included in the Imperator's treasure hunt, or would there be other more pressing assignments for them?

I'm thinking of skipping the treasure hunt to pursue some of these terrorists (unless, of course, Cyrin chooses to pursue a rebel hunting the treasure).

I've been hungover all day, so I haven't wanted to write anything serious. I'm hoping my stomach settles before the night ends because I'd like to at least post somewhere.
