Jin was tense. She missed her bow. All it would take was one clean shot through the eye and this horrible person trying to start up a war would be dealt with. Of course, she had never killed anyone before. She had killed animals before, much to the distaste of Bella. But she was certain in her heart that she could kill in defense of her beloved family.

"What should we do, Father? I mean, Anna and I. We can't just stand here." At least Jin couldn't just stand there.


*rolls around* I want to post but I also want the ballroom scene to move forward.
Kijani was surprised that he had come all this way for something that could have been said from a distance. Maybe he wanted to prove his seriousness in the matter. All she could do was respond with the truth.

“It is worse than they say, Prince Eskel. The small things don’t make the vids. The constant loss of life and livelihood of the smaller rim planets, the subtle propaganda takeover of the common channels. The Empire is everywhere, and more insidious by the day. If – ”

She shut her eyes, centering herself. “If you really want this, if you’re truly ready to wage war, you have to know that this will come first for me, always. Once my training is complete, I fully plan to head back to the seat of the Rebellion and bring the Empire down with everything we have. It has to be soon, otherwise…” There was the usual twist in her stomach. “There will be more Alderaans, and worse.”

She stared him dead in the eyes, subtly reading him. What Yoda had discovered was that she could glean surface thoughts and intentions from people if she focused on them, and had been doing that the majority of her life without training. He admitted that this was not something he could fully train her in, but gave her as much guidance has he could.

“I will ask you to search your heart and soul. If you truly mean for this union to work, you will also have to wage war. It’s not about resources, it’s not about being a figurehead. I will be asking you to do battle, in person. I will ask you to fight. I will ask you to kill.”

“Prince Eskel, please take the evening to determine what you truly are capable of, and do not give me an answer until you have.”
Mara pouted very slightly as the server vanished. “Kids these days. Never want to hear about the philosophy of food shortage.”

“Mom, I don’t think anyone wants to hear about that.” Devika slid into the booth. “Especially not someone working minimum wage.”

“You see, Mara? That’s the human factor.” Tim cut in, grinning.

Mara started up again, eyes bright. “But the facts clearly indicate-”

“Guys.” Devika shook her head, but she was smiling. “Please, cut it out. I’d like to eat without a debate. We’re in public and we have a guest.” It looked like she was trying not to laugh, despite her words.

“Roxy, if you ever wonder where I get my stubborn side from, it’s from both of them.” She started in on a little more food.
@Lugubrious

That helped me a lot, thank you. PM incoming with Persona details to look over.
Cool, I'll take Strength then. Here's what I've got so far.



@lugubrious Please let me know what I should expand on or adjust. I will PM you the details of the Persona when I have them worked out.
LOL, looks like Chariot was already snapped up, which suited my character perfectly. Is Strength already taken?

Interaction: Team A, Talon @Courtaud
Location: Inside the Kobra factory; La Hoya


As Cybergirl pulled off the grate, Mirage muffled the sound of the metal tearing. It wasn’t a perfect illusion. As she’d never heard that kind of noise before, she could only dampen it instead of fully erasing it. She waited a tense few moments, waiting for a guard to notice. When there was silence, she made herself invisible and slipped into the grate to start sliding in. It was a bit of a squeeze.

Once she made it through the vent, the corridor ahead was long and metallic. There were four doors, all of them closed. Carefully, she went to each and tried the handles. Three were locked up tight, with no key in sight. She didn’t dare try to break in. Her raw strength could do the trick, most likely, but the noise would cause all sorts of trouble.

The last door, surprisingly, was unlocked. She tried the handle slowly, and froze in fear as two Kobra agents stared right at her invisible form.

“What’s that?”

Mirage didn’t move or breathe, as one of the agents approached the open door.

“Huh. Must be the hinges. I told maintenance about these freakin’ doors weeks ago. But do they get fixed? No.”

“Tell me about it. The toilet in my bunk has been backed up for days.”

“That’s nasty, man.”


The agent began to close the door, and Mirage let her gaze dart around to see everything she could in those few seconds. They had all trained in memorization techniques within the last two weeks. Maps, papers, computers with some kind of reports on them. She read as much as she could before the door shut, then exhaled silently.

Treading slowly back to the group, she approached Talon. “Team Leader, I think I may have hit the jackpot. There’s an open door about 50 feet ahead, two guards and lots of information. At least one of the computers said progress report, and there are world and country maps pasted all over. The guards seem very relaxed; I opened the door and they really didn’t even investigate, just closed it. I didn’t want to attack them without your go-ahead. What would you like me to do?”
This looks awesome. Count me in if there's space. I skimmed the interest check and I'm not sure if you're full or not.
