Realms of Sun & Shadow

Syraeia Leela “Sy-a” Inn Keeper

Dawn Haven _ “The eye of the Beholder.”

Open for Business

Olvia comments on restraint and their powers struck deep into her heart, it had taken an so much so so much to resist what pulled at her in those first days, tested her sanity and lured her to take the easy route. To fall to the Blight entirely and forget her humanity. To forget everything and just let it be easy. Even now she had to actively keep a check on her Blight born instincts, the whispers that never went away. But those could be kept In check especially as the Inn allowed her to subtly feed and gather her needs without harming persons or them really noticing. It was a luxury and she knew it was a blessing.

Sya just nodded to that, there were no answers needed and she felt the other woman truly understood her nature. Sunni was nice, but he never could understand her on such a level, to such a deep part of them that had been so changed by their rebirth.

Olivia did not leave her much to say in reply but the comments describing her as a flower made Sya Blush and had not refused her hands touch. Even the Prince did not seem able to look her in the eye, he actively had been uncomfortable. This woman let her be freely herself, looked into the eye without flinching and held her hand softly. She sighed softly and it was first to be willing to even consider her in any kind of romantic fashion. She knew of Blightborn who did… things and engaged in certain activities, degrading in exchange for shelter or coin. Sya had stayed
as far away from them as possible and actively avoided those dark dark places.

Sya just nodded to that, there was no answers needed and she felt the other woman truly understood her nature. "We can watch out for each other, and keep each other safe." Sya said with an firm voice and maybe a little hope, Sya had an impulsive idea but resisted it. A friend, a friend was something she greatly valued. Sya did not want to just be protected, but she could try and help her friend out too.

When they moved into business, business that she could manage and knew more about. practical matters did need to be worked out and clarified. “When I can check my Ledgers, I can calculate a long term price, based on your needs and those of your coachmen” She said smoothly, she would have to check the costs and the exact rates that would apply. “I could put strong men to work, we have plenty of work to run an Inn” Sya said cheerfully, the coachman as long as they were trustworthy could be reliable workers.

“My main rule is not to bring trouble to my door, pretty easy.” Sya said cheerfully as she found self moving close to the woman.

That Kiss, such a small gesture to some but it meant so much, she had trusted Oliva and took one huge chance to do that. Sya had risked everything and put it all down on the table. Everything changed with that kiss and they both knew it.

Seeing her so carefully and deliberately act, it must have meant alot to her, no passing fancy or minor thing. She allowed her hand to be lifted without resistance, the act as Oliva kissed her hand alone, nothing more but even that sent strong feelings almost like lightning striking the ground as she placed her lips against Sya's skin in an intimate act. Sya has not had such an act since before her turning was the last time, and even that was a stable boy she had found handsome that felt forever ago.

The question Olvia Asked was a curious one, about the nights here? The days? The sun had not risen for months, you could tell the time but it was shades of greys and blacks. However, who could call them normal? The second part made her blush, it was a commitment and one said with such a voice that it was a vow of a kind, Blight Born had no real church or law courts, no real formal structure. Your word was your bond. Sya took that bond and sealed it.

“This …is close as day gets, it's maybe noon Olivia, but it grows colder with winter's bite. You soon learn to see its…changes and subtle signs.” Sya was Resting against her now, her voice was so soft and light only she would ever hear it. No one else would hear Sya, not man or beast. The kiss had cut her reply before and scrambled her mind's concentration, what she did want was to know what more of Oliva felt like, how she felt curled against her and how it felt not to be alone in the world.

Sya spoke soft as before barely raising her voice or pitch above feelings like to do so would shatter the moment they shared. “Where I am from, Intent means far more than any legal words or papers like the so called civilised lands, If you mean so, please hold so.” Sya was more form a grip on Olvias hand underpinning how such promises mattered greatly to her, though a little also of her cynical view of the two kingdoms and what their promises and treaty had been worth to her people leaked through.

Though she softened once more. “You might find me in your bed if you keep talking so sweetly and acting so temptingly..” Sya said with a side of cheeky flirty confidence that slowly slipped out of a place that had long thought it was lost and never to emerge. This was a glimpse of the older Sya, the Sya that had lived before the blight. The Sya that was so deeply buried, but also the one that would die a second death if betrayed.

Her free hand reached up and ever so tenderly like the finest most fragile thing in the world curled her fingers though the white hair of Olivia, feeling how it was so starkly coloured yet so soft, and ran down over the tips of her ears where the elfen points where. Sya fingers and hands were rougher from her life and time before but her touch and intent were soft as the finest silk. Tracing the line of her jaw, the form of her neck and a hint of strength that lurked beneath as she traced lower, treating her as the most valuable thing in the world.

Looking Olivia directly in her red eyes without fear or flinching Sya saw how the red glowed almost with a sense of power, and she recognised the same that caused her own to faintly shine blue In the darkness. Sya had moved while she had the other woman's attention and sat directly on her lap, one hand interlocked into Olivias and the second was resting on her Back. No words were needed and the shorter Inn keeper could match the other woman's height perfectly.

“Can we stay while, I have so much to do, but… this feels right… hold me and i'll answer your questions.” Sya said cutely and closed that big blue eye so full of intent and A little tear shed but one not of sadness. She moved again to kiss her, to hold her, just to feel the willing and entirely freely given warmth and companionship of another. Sya blightborn instinct was not caring that she had to check on the bar, her instinct had overridden her mind and she just wanted Olivia right this second.

Sya took what she wanted.

Least my bridge has no windows to shoot at. :)

Star Wars - Invasion [ A multiverse Spaceship RP]

You got cylon ships?

@Sep

None, if I go early cannon, bar some museum stuff like totally gutter shells of first war cylon aircraft and armour. Literal museum exhibits

I meant that cylon ships like Vipers tend to fight more close up and personal than fast straight lines.

Star Wars - Invasion [ A multiverse Spaceship RP]

So I'm going to let you all decide how these fights go, once I've set things up.

@mattmanganon I'm sure your rangers can dodge some puny little lasers.

When fights begin to get tougher, we might implement dice rolls to spice up the outcomes, but the important thing to remember is we're all here to have fun and I'm just here to help facilitate you to tell your characters stories.

The Replicator ships are going to be very fast but they're going to pay for this in terms of manoeuvrability. When they are within range and shooting back they're going to be using their twin laser cannons. Unshielded, but their armour is extra thick thanks to replicator blocks so they're going to be able to take a punch. Lets say the only way to one-hit them is with a weapon designed to take out capital ships.

@Sep

I'm going to have them win. But get a syprise or 3 and have to rapidly change tactics and they used to engaging hyper agile dog fighters and lighter armoured cylon craft.

Cannon fire less effective but damaging, dredas find they have some degree of ecm and ew warfare ability. So they switch to line of sight snf laser missiles etc and use vipersninsane agility to turn round and fire. And use the more powerful Raptor sensor suites to supoort really get a solid lock for homing missiles.

A win but a win with tons of lessons and things to consider.

Maybe bw delayed. I'm feeling ill right now.

Star Wars - Invasion [ A multiverse Spaceship RP]

posted, ship is going all business.

Star Wars - Invasion [ A multiverse Spaceship RP]

Battlestar Warpite

Galatic Old Lady

Coruscant System

“Contacts on Dredas. Long range. Moving in fast. 3 contacts on suspected intercept” Came she should onto the CIC, clips showing on screens and closing at an increasing pace from the planet. “Only just broke high altitude and orbit, we only just saw them” The Officer clarified and broadcast the track across all the main screens. “Bearing 116 off standard”

“Battle stations! Comm, Defensive screen, Vipers, Raptor pickets out, get me a track for gunnery” Col Tye shouted, “Get the Commander now” Looking to Lt geta to get on the comm and inform the Commander of the situation. “Get me a screen up now CAG, I want tubes hot now!” The col paced as he walked through the CIC calling out orders to commands and directing the ship.

“Launch… Launch .. Launch. Next being loaded now” Came a call down the speakers of the CIC, the image showing the tubes launching and electromagnetic catapults firing Vipers out, as the elevators loaded Raptors to the lifts. “Raptors out in 2 minutes, Missile packs 3 loaded” The CAG relied on the CIC Line as the room sprang to life. As she paced the Col was glad they had opened some space to freely operate their fighters, Paranoid was not wrong if they were out to get you.

…

“Set condition 1 throughout the ship. All hands to Battle stations. Damage control crews to stations, this is NOT A DRILL. Ladies and Gentlemen let's show these bastards what Warspite can do!” The Call came across all the speakers over the ship to every main compartment and main corridor,

“Looks like they have brought our timetable forward, if you can get your shuttles out, try but we are taking priority now for the hangers. You can stay here or join us in the CIC and see what Battlestar can do.” Striding over to the Marine on the phone. “Report, Sit rep.” call to the Marine who jumped to attention on the phone.

“Three unknown contacts incoming Maam. Col Tye is Launching Viper screen now Commander to intercept.” The Marine reported sharply with a quick pace and snapped to rapidly inform the pertinent information.

“Tell Col Tye im on my way Marine, Good job.” The Commander strode out with Major Kraken who looked at the room. “Follow, or stay with Lana Six Lon, or shuttles. You can do one and hangar bay is currently running fighter ops.” The Major was entirely business and snapped to following his Commanders at 3 paces without even pausing to question his orders. It might not be the best impression of social niceties but they had to get down to business of fighting the replicators as the entire ship thrummed with additional power and noises, reactors coming to full and charging everything from guns to launch tubes.

…

Outside the Vipers fired out into the void and began to form a loose line of fighters spanning out to intercept. More Vipers shot from the launch tubes as the hanger bay sprang to life and became a hive of meaningful chaos and well practised routines. “All hands. All Hands. Col Tye has the Con, Follow as ordered until further orders” The Speakers crackled out again and the battle stations alarms kept repeating every minute or so. Each to ensure no one was going to think the current situation was a drill.

The Commander did not even look back as she headed to her CIC, work was to be done, and the Allies could decide what they wanted to do, that was their choice and she would not make it for them. She strode with a purpose and direction of someone who knew every single part of her old, battered but proud Battlestar and fastest routes to almost any part of the ship down the corridors busy with crew moving rapidly to perform their duties or gearing up in fire and void suits.

,,,

Outside the line of Vipers were racing in a line to intercept away from Warspite and others were sitting back as part of the reserve force, ready to tackle flankers or reinforce their weak points. “Rapter 16, to. command. To all Vipers. Weapons are hot, engage at opportunity.” The clear order came over to all the interceptors. Multiple copy came in from the aircraft and the Warspite confirming the orders.

The warspite was ready for war.

Glad to hear that my nudge to Honor Harrington hasn't disappointed so far.
