Rourke comes on a mission

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny walks into the Bar and Grill and stops in the door way. She turns her head around to look at the occupants of the room, her eyes hidden behind a pair of dark sunglasses, her jet black hair tied back in a loose ponytail. She is dressed all in black including black boots and gloves on her hands. At her hip rests a blaster. Everyone goes silent as she looks around the room and they watch her as she purposefully walks up to the bar and has a seat on the bar stool*

Barkeep, an ale, correllian ale now.

*Bunny, almost as an after thought decides that this place may need the usage of manners so she adds*

Please, and make it quick.

*Bunny then turns around on the stool, leans her back up against the bar as she continues to scan the room, looking for someone who may be of some use to her. As she does this, the occupants turn back to there conversations in a low whisper*

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Excussse me...

(A tapping claw at the woman's shoulder gets her attention as Taataani approaches, adjusting her glasses. The Cizerack seems somewhat nervous, her tail twitching back and forth.)

...jI couldn't help but notjice jyourrr blasssterrr, and...well...um...

(She laughs nervously)

...jI thjink jyou ssshould check that jin at the frrront doorrr. Thejy have rrrulesss about weaponsss herrre. Sssorrrjy!

(Taa's eyes squint a little as her ears lower. She abhored guns. Barbaric weapons that were too convenient to accidentally kill somebody. If a cub were to find it...it might think it were a toy...

...dreadful things.)

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny turns her attention to the Cizerack which taps her on the shoulder*

If you look closely at the blaster Miss, you shall notice that it has no blaster pack in it, nor can I get one in it any time soon since I can not afford to have it taken from me while I am here.

*Bunny motions down to her blaster which is missing it's power pack which makes it non-operational. Bunny closes her eyes for the briefest of seconds before opening them again, having to reminde herself that she should use manners here*

Thank-you for your concern.

*Bunny gets up and walks over to the door, seeing as how this is not her place, she decides to be nice and hands her power packless blaster over with a quiet grumbling about feeling naked without it. She then walks back over to her seat and sits down*

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa casually glances over, seeing that the woman is right. Still...the gun makes her a *little* nervous. The felinoid laughs a little nervously, her ears fluttering as she does.)

Oh...well...jyourrr welcome.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny lowers her black sunglasses and looks at the Cizerack with ice blue eyes before moving her black sunglasses back up to where they are supposed to be*

Perhaps you can help me Miss. I am here on a mission trying to.......find someone who I have been hired to find and bring home.

*Bunny looks around the bar again before returning her gaze to the Cizerack*

And what may I ask is your name?

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Taataanji

(She extended her hand)

Pleasssurrre to meet jyou, mjissssss?

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny looks at Taataanji and nods*

Names Buneka

*Bunny looks down at the extended hand and then back up at Taataanji's face*

Nice to meet you.

Perhaps you can be of some assistance to me. I'm looking for a seven year old girl. I've been hired to find her and to take her home to where she belongs. She has ice blue eyes and has a hard time walking without the use of crutches.

*Bunny keeps her gaze on Taataanji, and doesn't waver for a second*

Do you know the where abouts of any girls like that?

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa thought about the description, remembering a girl matching that at a party the other night. She screamed when Taa picked her up, and it was very unnerving to the felinoid, who adored children. Yet, the thought of this woman with a gun...even if it was unloaded...worried her. She shook her head, her ears fluttering)

No, no...jI haven't ssseen a cub ljike that, sssorrrjy.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny smiles as she watches Taataani. Where Bunny is from, they are experts at reading body language and understanding different types of voices*

Where is the girl Taataani?

*Bunny almost has a joy filled tone to her voice*

Where is the girl?

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Drat, it didn't work. Taa's ears fold back a little, and she narrows her eyes)

jI don't thjink anjybodjy carrrrrrjyjing a gun hasss anjy rrrjight to take a ljittle cub agajinssst herrr wjill. At anjy rrrate, jI haven't ssseen herrr todajy, and jI don't know wherrre ssshe jisss now.

(A little upset, Taataani crosses her arms, hoping the little cub will be okay)

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny looks at Taataani and frowns and says in a rather angry voice*

Look Miss, I have the right to take her into my custody. She does not know me since I last saw her as a baby, right after she was born and our Mother was killed. As for the blaster, it comes with my job.

*Bunny continues to stare at Taataani as she removes her black sunglasses, her ice blue eyes looking Taataani right in the eye*

Where is the girl Taataani? Where is she staying?

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa developed a little more of a backbone, her lips curling over her fangs)

Even jif jI knew...jI wouldn't tell jyou. jYou'rrre not the kjind of jinfluence a jyoung cub needsss

(Deep in her throat, a growl began to grow)

[Nash Stolar]

"Ladies.."

*He seemed to step out from nowhere, With his clad black armor and cloak.. The smile he had seemed out of place.. But it was the only thing that seemed to make him look friendly compared to all the other clad black figures around.*

"Is something wrong here?"

*The question was more aimed to Taataani. Then his eyes moved to the blaster the other woman had then back up.*

"Door check seems to be getting lazy.. empty or not its still a gun."

[Marcus QDunn]

[Bunny Rourke]

OOC: I would like ppl to know, that in my second post in here, I got up from my seat and walked over to the door where I handed my empty blaster over and then I came back and sat down.

IC:*Bunny keeps looking at Taataani with her ice blue eyes*

Look Miss, whether I may be the right kind of influence on her or not, is none of your concern. I know what she went through. I know how lucky she is to be away from all that now and if you even think for a second that I would harm that girl, then you are sadly mistaken.

I tried to help her when she was born by trying to get it so she can grow up in a nice home, not an abusive one like our Father's.

*Bunny glances at Nash and then puts her black sunglasses on*

Sir, I am trying to find a young girl. I'm on a mission to find her. I have to find her and this Lady here has been kind enough to inform me that she at least has seen the girl that I seek. I have no wish to harm the girl because I know what kind of torture she has already been through.

*Bunny looks at both Nash and Taataani*

Please be kind enough to tell me where I can find the girl.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

jI alrrreadjy sssajid jI don't know. Hmmph!

(Taataani turns away in a huff, walking away)

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny looks at Taataani*

Taataani, tell me something, do you think families should be together?? Cause if you do, you will tell me where you saw the girl last so she can be reunited with what family she has left.

*Bunny drops her hand down to her empty holster, before bringing her hand back up empty*

I've been looking for her for three years now. This is the closest I have come to finding her. I have not seen her since the day after she was born.

Please, I ask you, tell me where the girl is.

*Bunny has a pleading look on her face and whispers*

I must protect her. I have to protect her with my life.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Flustered, Taa turns around, a growl evident in her voice)

jI alrrreadjy told jyou, jI don't know wherrre ssshe jisss. Perrrhapsss jif jI djid, jI mjight help...but jI don't now.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny nods slightly*

Then please at least tell me where it was you saw her. Please, at least tell me that much.

*Bunny crosses the fingers of one hand since she has been searching for the girl for quite some time now. Only once has she ever been this close to finding her, but had missed her by only a few hours. She takes her black sunglasses off again and rests her head on her hand and whispers to herself*

So close, I am so close. Please say I won't miss her again.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Ssshe wasss herrre lassst njight.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny gets a look of pure anger on her face as she goes to slam her fist down onto the bar counter. She takes a couple of deep breaths for a moment or two*

Thank-you Taataani. Do you know if she will be coming back here any time soon?

*Bunny shakes her head and prays that the girl is not very far away and will be coming back. She does not want to be so close again and fail another time*

Again, I thank-you Taataani. As I have said, I have been searching for her for years now. When I heard that our Father was dead, I knew that my sister would need somebody to watch over her. I had failed her when she was a baby, I hope not to fail her again.

I know this may sound like an odd request, but what is the girls name?

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Herrr name jisss Natjia. And, jI don't know jif ssshe wjill be back tonjight.

[Nash Stolar]

*He crossed his arms and keeped smiling.. He knew who they were talking about now..*

"Being a knight here has advantages... And seeing how you don't seem to want to kill her I will tell you what I know.. Her master is a woman named Sia Lan Darkheart a fellow jedi knight.. I bet if you find her you will end up finding Natia."

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny gets a very faint smile on her face as she looks from Taataani to Nash*

Both of you have my thanks. You have no idea just how happy I am to have some good news about her after so many years of hearing bad news or nothing.

*Bunny tilts her head slightly and the smile leaves her face as if she is listening to or for something that does not please her*

If there is anything I can do for you, please ask. If you have any jobs that need to done, ask.

[Nash Stolar]

*Nash shook his head slighty.*

"I would keep it an IOU untill I really need it.."

*He seemed to chuckle a little with a smile.. Then stoped as he rememberd what happed at the RC*

"Um.. How well do you two know each other?"

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny looks at Nash, her face devoid of all emotion for a moment. And then slowly, her face shows the intense anger she feels about what happened*

My sister does not know who I am. She probably has no idea that I am even alive since I last saw her when I was 15 and she was not even a day old. Our Father killed our Mother because she did not like the name that Father wanted to name my little sister. After Mother was killed, I grabbed, .....Natia and ran. Father caught up to us and he managed to get her back. I did not dare go back and try and get her from him for he would have killed me as well.

*Bunny sighs slightly*

We do not know each other at all.

[Nash Stolar]

"I see...I'm sorry."

*Nash did not know what to say really.. He was always so distant with his parents and never really talked to them. Then he had left without telling anyone and from then on he had never spoken or seen his parents again.

"I asked because we met at the Recruitement Center and she did not seem to take well to people she did not know.."

*He sighed remembering what had taken place.*

"But.. From what I heard she trusts girls alot more then guys.. and you are her sister.. maybe she will sence something in you."

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny nods slightly*

I once was like my sister. When I left home, I did not trust males either. But after a while, I realized that not all of them are like my Father.

She will understand when I explain everything to her when I meet her. When I saw her when she was born, I knew that she would get away from Father, even if I couldn't get her away.

*Bunny levels her gaze at Nash and her voice gets a slight edge to it*

When you spoke of her Master being Sia Lan Darkheart, what do you mean by that??

[Nash Stolar]

*Nash spoke with slight surprise..*

"She has became a padawan here. And is being trained to the light by Sia.. Basically you refer to who you are being trained by as 'master' as a sign of respect.."

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny nods and her voice loses the edge that it had gotten*

And this Sia, is she a nice person??

[Nash Stolar]

"From what I could tell, yes.. But.. You never know.."

*He smiled slighty*

"If you would like.. I can take you to her room, she might be there."

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn peeked out from behind Nash, then stepped to the side. The 11 year old fixed her brown eyes on "Bunny", her face solemn. A wave of panic had rushed over her earlier when the woman was demanding to see Natia, then was replaced by relief when she found out Bunny was her sister. That also meant another thing: Xazor was wrong about suspecting that she and Natia were related. She sighed slightly - she was even looking forward to having a sister.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny smiles slightly*

Yes, that would be appreciated.

*Bunny lets her gaze rest upon the 11 year old child that has just stepped out from behind Nash*

Perhaps after I see that Natia is happy here, I will go out and find my other siblings in which I have. I know I have other siblings, I just don't know who they are or where they are right now, but I managed to track my youngest sister here, I should be able to do the same with my other siblings.

*Bunny kneels down and looks the 11 year old girl in the eyes*

And what is your name child??

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn bit her lower lip softly when she was asked for her name. Looking down at the ground, she clasped her hands behind her back.

My name is Salemn ...

She spoke through the Force.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny smiles softly and nods her head slightly. She then speaks through the force back to Salemn*

That is a very beautiful name child. Do you have a family Salemn??

*Bunny continues looking at her, remembering back to when she was that age and how far she has managed to go since then*

[Salemn Lysce]

I ... I don't know ...

She blinked, a confused look coming over her face. Sometimes she had flashbacks that didn't last very long, or encountered things that seemed very familiar.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny nods her head as if she understands*

I am sorry to hear that Salemn. But I know you have a family somewhere, all you have to do is find it. Finding your family can be very difficult though. If you want, I shall help you find your family.

*Bunny was again speaking through the force to Salemn*

[Salemn Lysce]

Salemn sighed at Bunny's remark. Helping her find her family ? Impossible. She couldn't even remember anything, except for the voices that haunted her dreams ..

"Salemn, look at this !"

She blinked, startled. Where did that voice come from?

"Come on, over here!"

She looked over her shoulder suspiciously to see if it was somebody playing a joke. Nobody. Obviously it wasn't a joke. She grabbed Nash's arm and shook it lightly, her face contorted with fear.

Nash, can you hear that?

[Nash Stolar]

*Nash looked down at his padawan, He was letting them talk so he keeped quiet untill now.*

"Hear what?"

[Salemn Lysce]

"Hear what?" Nash had said. Salemn frowned slightly and sighed.

Nothing, nevermind.

"Salemn ! Come on, Sis, I want to show you something!"

She bit her lower lip so hard that it drew forth blood.

"SALEMN! Do you hear me ?! Answer me right NOW !"

She covered her ears with her hands and looked up pleadingly at Nash.

[Nash Stolar]

"?!"

*Nash came down to eye level with his padawan.. Worry started to cross his face*

"Salemn?"

[Salemn Lysce]

The voice started to sing.

"I know a lass from way back then, whose heart I did offend. She stole away into the night, leaving behind the light ..."

She screamed out with the Force.

Make it STOP !!!

She looked desperately into his eyes, her lower lip trembling.

"She gave away my heart, and sung like a lark. Her words were sweet to my ears and wiped away my fears ..."

Then, there was silence. Sweet, blissful silence. Salemn lowered her hands to her side and took a deep breath.

[Nash Stolar]

"Salemn? Salemn!"

*When it stopped Salemn found herself in Nash's arms.. For once he was worried.. Some say masters get a strong bond to there padawans. Like a Parent and there child. This just proved them right.*

"Are you alright..?"

[Salemn Lysce]

"La la LAAA!!!"

Salemn closed her eyes, her body being fully supported by Nash, and went unconscious.

"The truth can't always be handled ..."

For once, he could hear the voice this time.

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny watches Nash and Salemn silently. A slight frown appears on her face while she watches. She keeps all thoughts from her face, but wishes she could help, but knows better and should stay out of this so she just watches in silence*

[Nash Stolar]

*Nash stood up and gently put salemn over his right sholder, He looked down at bunny and then smiled*

"I'm sure she will be fine.. A little rest in her room will do good.. I don't know what really happend.. But on the way I could point out sia's room. Its not to far from salemn's.. If you would like."

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny nods slightly*

I would like that very much since I wish to find out for myself that this Sia means no harm to my little sister, the only one which I have found.

[Nash Stolar]

*He nodded and quietly walked out.. He knew bunny was following and did not have to look back more then a few times*


ooc: To the LQ.. <img src=http://www.thegjo.com/forum/smileys/biglaugh.gif ALT=":D">

[Bunny Rourke]

*Bunny nods and silently follows after Nash and Salemn. At the door, she picks up her blaster and slips it back into the holster and then continues after Nash and Salemn*
