So little time... (Open RPG)

[Garrett Blade]

*Garrett walked quite rapidly through the hallways of the palace. He had been thinking all day. He only had one week to sort out the problem with Roul or else he was leaving. Unless he chose to leave before that time is anybody;s guess, but nevertheless he only had a week. And he had things which he simply must do should he indeed leave when the week was up, and so decided that now was the perfect time to get some of it out of the way. Part of it was important to other matters, yet some of it was personal. After a few more minutes of walking, Garrett arrived at the door. The west wing of the palace was drafty and damp at this time of year, and the lightning storm outside added to the misery. It was wonderful. He slowly but surely approached the long locked door. it had been so long that the door was covered with cobwebs and dust. The lock had always been rusty and so looked the same. The small mat which used to rest outside the door was missing, though why it was missing was unknown at this time. Garrett brought his face right up to the door and blew slightly, causing the dust to swirl off the door like a flock of birds taking flight after roosting. Suddenly, the nameplate became crystal...*

Gav Mortis

*Just as Garrett moved his hand down to the lock to open the door, he heard footsteps behind him...and froze deadly still. After a nano second or two, he slowly but surely turned to face the unknown presence...*

[Live Wire]

OOC: Im going to try to do an RP....RL is kinda keeping me busy and Im trying to get over writers block!!

IC:

*LW is walking through the corridors as she nears Gav's old quarters...she automatically blocks off her mind...she swore every time she passed she could feel him near her and it frustrated the hell out of her...she had come to grips with the fact that he was dead and it didnt do her any good to chase demons.*

[Garrett Blade]

*Garrett instantly sees Live Wire and thinks to himself...*

Oh blast! Now I'm in for it! Here comes the speech! "Garrett, you know you're not supposed to go into anyones room - especially Gav's!!!"

*At first, Garrett thought that he would get away without being noticed, if he was very quiet. But just then, as Garrett leaned against Gav's door, it opened with a violent swing and a loud crash, and left Garrett awkwardly leaning against the wall just inside Gav's room...*

[Live Wire]

*LW looks up at the sound of the crash and see's the door to Gav's room wide open. She approached it slowly only to see Garrett standing inside looking sheepish.*

Damn it Blade! Do I have to tell you again? Stay out of other peoples rooms.....especially this one!

*LW stepped inside the door and looked around...she hadn't been inside since..... Nothing had changed...everything had been left the way it was and LW wanted it left undisturbed*

Out of here now!

[Garrett Blade]

*The two sith exited the room. Live Wire once again locked the door after her, then beckoned Garrett to get moving. As they walked separate ways down the hall, they didn't say a word to each other, not even a "see you later". As Live Wire walked around the corner at the end of the hall, Garrett's doppleganger faded away into nothing...*

Meanwhile...

*Garrett was strolling about outside the palace entrance thinking. He seemed to be looking up at the stars, yet it wasn't that obvious. He was pacing back and forth, talking to someone. Yet there was nobody there. Not even a spirit of any sort. Garrett was walking up and down on his own, yet he seemed to be talking to someone as if he had known them for years - yet still...there was nobody there...*

You can't tell me that you just decided to go somewhere and just happened to get killed! It doesn't work like that! Well..not for you! But for me, thats different! I get killed for reasons! Okay I admit it, I genuinely got killed back then on Ord Mantell, but like I told you, I was looking at that woman, I didn't even see the blasted.....I DOESN'T MATTER! This isn't about me - it's about you! Now...I know that you decided to bugger off for a reason! You of all people don't get beaten easily. So why the hell are you dead! I know why...because you're not...thats why! So...why are you pretending to everyone that you're dead? There's gotta be a reason behind it! And since you don't wanna tell me that reason, I'll have to kill you! Oh yeah, I forgot....you're "already dead" aren't you! Well in that case, perhaps I should have a snoop around in your "room" eh! Maybe I'll find the answers there! I'll see YOU later!"

*Garrett begins to walk away from the imaginery being, then shouts something back...

And don't you even THINK about pulling faces behind my back! I see....EVERYTHING!

[Live Wire]

*LW watched garret from a palace window. She had been hard on him earlier...but she was always hard on him especially in connection to Gav. Sometimes she forgot that she wasnt the only one who felt the loss...she wasnt the only one in pain.

She could see Garret down below seemingly talking to himself and she could sense the miasma of emotions swirling through him. She saw him heading back into the palace and she sighed.

LW chose not to remember that horrible day...the day when she saw Gav's ship explode before her very eyes. For weeks every time she closed he eyes she saw the fireball replaying over and over and over. She started out of the glass window half seeing her own reflection...tears stared to stream down her face even though she remained expressionless.

She turned from the window her face cool as stone. She wiped the tears from her eyes and she could feel the weight of her lightsaber against her hip. She had been so wrapped up in her own grief she had pushed aside what she really wanted....vengence. Vengence against the son of a bitch who had taken Gav away from them....away from her.

LW strode purposefully down the hallway looking for the one person who might be able to help her find the bastard responsible.*

[Garrett Blade]

*Garrett walked into the auxiliary battleroom inside the Palace. he sat at the sensor station and began modifying sensor scans. He was searching for something not too far below the surface of Corellia, in relative proximity to the underground access system to the palace. After severl minutes of searching, Garrett found what he was looking for...*

There you are you sneaky little bugger!

*Garrett left the battleroom and stormed off through the palace to the gardens, about half an hours walk from this side of the palace...*
