I actually had to experiment in order to log in. It's been so long I feel like I just walked over my own grave. But, here I am.

Ok, so quick update. I have moved, started the new job, but still no internet. It should be up and running within two weeks (I'm hoping sooner than that.) Right now I'm borrowing a work computer on lunch break. o.o
Hope you all are well, and I will catch up with you soon.

Hello, Not sure if this is the best place to post - but my character is a darksider of sorts having fought on the side of the Sith but im looking to perhaps turn her a little. she's a bit tortured and is looking for redemption. Can anyone help or be interested in helping? thanks Hi and welcome. I'm perfectly willing to help, however due to rl I won't be free to start new plotlines for probably about a month. I don't know if you're interested in waiting? Or, you could begin somewhere, and then later we could find a way to get you to Yavin. That way you would still be doing things in the meantime.

Erm, me? Not at the moment. I'm wrapping up a few plotlines so that I can begin working on my plans. And then there'll be room for anyone who wants to write with me. For right now though I'm not jumping into anything new, that way people won't end up waiting on me for replies. Anyway, welcome back.

Jade was glad that Serrin wasn't looking at her for the moment, she knew her old friend would've seen the pain in her own eyes as something deep inside her soul broke just a bit further. Their roles had switched dramatically in the space of months, even perhaps just hours. Always before it had been Serrin who was stronger, Serrin who kept encouraging Ael when she felt that the way of the Jedi was not for her---her experience and background were just too different. And now, it was Serrin who was in need of help.
I knew full well the choice wasn't simply 'Jedi' or 'Sith' as if they were the only two philosophical possibilities in the universe, but I felt that for Serrin the stark contrast might be enough to make her see how much of a Jedi she truly still is. As Serrin looked up and her surprised gaze slipped past my shoulder, I felt a sudden urge to turn. But I didn't, knowing that whatever she saw, was there only for her.
The petite Jedi's eyes clouded with sadness. There was something pathetic in the way Serrin seemed so hopeful, and yet so convinced that she had managed to fall so far away from the Light. Twice she opened her lips as if to speak, and both times thought better of it. Silently she'd replaced the lightsaber at her belt. And as Serrin's voice finally broke, she instinctively did the only thing that occurred to her: she stepped closer and pulled the woman into a close embrace. She carefully avoided contact with either of her lekku however, and just held her old friend, willing her to feel her own acceptance of her.
"Serrin," she finally interjected, in a voice that sounded vaguely rough as if through sheer willpower alone she refused to shed a tear herself, "you are the same person you have always been: caring, gentle. It is not Ashla who keeps you from returning. She has been there all along, waiting for you to accept who you are, the experiences you've had, and make the decision to keep on being yourself." The older woman hesitated. These kinds of speeches had never been her forte. It was so much easier to care about someone without talking about it. "You are missed, and more than that, you are needed. Whatever it is that you have done, others have faced similar things and made similar choices. There is nothing about you that says you should remain in exile when so many others have returned to the Light stronger than they were before." She found herself gently stroking the Twi'Lek's back as if she were a child in desperate need of comfort, and with a final hug, she released the taller woman and stepped back half a pace.
"Never forget, old friend, you are Serrin Roma, Jedi," her green eyes twinkled with a friendly smile, "not Jedi, Serrin Roma."

What she said!
Side note: I have a new job. So I'll be moving. So...lots of hecticness starting in a few weeks. BUT, after that settles down, I'll only be working one job = much more and regular time to rp. XD

Just FYI, I have a lot more hours than normal at work this week, so it's going to take me longer to get things going than I originally anticipated. On a positive note: after this, I should have more free time. Yay!

This is Corellian Flight Control, your course is noted and approved. Look out for the incoming passenger liner off your port bow. Enjoy the weather and have fun at the Academy.
The voice cut off just as the current operator took a large gulp of stimcaf and looked over at the wall chronometer. He had two point five hours left in his duty shift. He looked back at his panel of instruments. "Steel Actual"---he hadn't run across that one before, but if he was a betting man, the pilot was military. Or wanted to be. One never could really tell these days. Doubtless the Academy would sort it out.

Oh sad day. Side note: evidently it's Mother's Day plus Graduation. In other words, I'm up to my ears in flowers at work. And I'm working longer hours than usual. So, my activity this week is going to be a bit sparse.

Good luck, Will! What they said basically.
Kronos, Kel'al, I am back now. Caught up with Alexis and Zarine, and tomorrow will be working on catching up with Jade. (Well, I'll work on it tonight when I can, but I need to cook dinner and go to a meeting.)

Well, so... I've discovered that even more than work, traveling is not nice to rp. I thought I'd have time to keep up with everyone, but yeah, y'all know how that's gone. Anyway, I'll be gone this week mostly, but I'll be solidly back by next Thursday and I'll catch up with all my stuff then. XD (If possible I'll pop in before that, but I have a lot to get done in the next two days before I head down to GA.)

I watched Serrin closely for longer than she was probably comfortable with. Sometimes it was like looking at the ghost of the woman I had once known. I wondered why she was so meekly asking for judgment. And then something in her eyes made me realize that she was fighting to get out. She thought she was fallen as a Jedi, and she thought there was no way back. Perhaps she even thought she was going to join the Sith.
Jade cleared her throat and drew herself up to her full height, which brought her maybe to Serrin's chin. "Closure?" she challenged. "Life is messy, Serrin, there aren't neat endings and well thought out developments. We play the hand of sabacc that we've been dealt. This, whatever, this, is," I waved my hand towards her, taking in her slumped attitude and lifeless demeanour, "is not you. We all make mistakes. The stronger we are, the worse the mistakes. This galaxy is old, Serrin Roma, older and vastly bigger than either of us. But, in spite of that, you think you are no longer a Jedi... what are you then, a Sith?" she sniffed dismissively.
"Aye, we all look further into that blackness than we'd care to admit," she continued ruefully, "but if you're telling me you're following a Darker path, a path that is so against everything that Serrin Roma is at her core. Well, you'll have to prove that. And there's only one way you can."
For a moment, I thought of handing her Eirene, but there was a much better option. I gave her the result of a mistake I had once made, a mistake that led to the death of a friend. A mistake that led to the ultimate meeting of Jedi and Sith, where only one walked away.
Jade's green eyes glittered as she reached for the lightsaber clipped to the left side of her belt. The hilt was longer than normal, but not anywhere near the length of a double-bladed weapon. Burn marks were cut too deeply into the metal to fade into scars. It had belonged to one of her closest friends, years earlier, almost an adopted brother. The metal felt cool to her hand as she held it out to Serrin, never once looking away from her. "Take it, cut me down, and prove that you are no longer Jedi, Serrin."
I felt oddly detached, at peace even, though I could not say what she would choose. It was like standing on the edge of the storm and looking into the face of death, and in that moment, I found myself wondering what lay on the other side.

*yawn* *stretch* Hello, Fellow Jedi (and Nan! *hugs*) So, as you know, I've been swamped with work. The usual. Anyway, I'm trying to catch up again, and once a few plotlines wrap up, I should be free to engage in new shenanigans...go write with the new Jedi, etc.
