The Darkstaff (open)

[varkin]

Would offer Drex a slight bow in return before looking to the rest of the group one by one, until his gaze met Ivory tilting his head slightly wondering what was going on with her arm.
However he soon looked away to look at who was speaking, he had a rough idea of who it was by the way he spoke, his head and body shifted to face the man... "Cirocco" the voice in his head would say as he arched a brow wondering what took him so long after all Cirocco left before him in a Spaceship, and he in a speeder and arrived first however he just ignored Cirocco's words and turned back looking to Epsi listening to her words of caution, of wisdom nodding before speaking "I... I will do as you ask Epsilon" his words were quiet as he held back what he was feeling.

Every fiber in his being wanted to go into the old Jedi outpost to see just what the staff looked like... to hold it... to embrace its power... but he controlled himself with help to his training.
He knew he was out of his depth, it was the staff that called him here, pulled him to this location but why him? there were far more powerful Jedi and Dark Jedi here, why not them?... All these thoughts were running around the young Jedi's head and the others in the group would be able to see his confusion simply by looking at his facial expression.

looking at the red Twi'lek open the door with brute strengh he pondered if Cirocco would listen to Epsi's words and remain out side the temple for the time being. He guessed not shaking his head a little waiting and wondering what to do next...

[ciroco]

"So it is the staff after all then..."

His gaze travels to each member of the assembled group. When he sees Ivory the boiling rage that radiates out from him lessens for only the briefest of moments. It returns just as quickly, redoubled in strength. Cirocco felt the longing towards the staff, the need to posess it, to feel it's power, but the feeling was dulled as it was met with the near overpowering rage coursing through him.

"Your advice is as uneccesary as it is unwanted miss Epsilon." Taking care to stress the 'miss' part. "This artefact would posess me? It can try. You know my opinion on the matter of this artefact. It is a liability. One that will be removed. I care not how. Now. move. aside."

Without waiting for a reply, he steps forward towards the open door. He takes out three signal flares, ignites them and throws them inside. Silhouttes dance across the walls as the cold white glare lights up the room inside. He pauses for a moment.

"This situation will be dealt with. If any of you wish to come inside, I will not stop you. But do not get in my way or so help me I will not hesitate to go through you."

And with that, he was inside.

[ivory]

She is hurting to much to give cirocco a smile, she only nods to him noting his momentarely distraction, his irritation his hesitation? she didnt knew what it as but it let him drop his guard for a brief moment. while he is rude and arogant to almost everyone else, and claims he wants the staff destroyed, she is not certain it is not already in his mind seducing him slowly and sneakyly. this thing seems to have its own will, a cunning dark mind and it affekts those tainted fromt he darkness or that are weak minded first...and that made more then half of the group to be targets... including cirocco if he liked it or not.

shielding her hurting arm slightly she nods tot he others " rest assured i wont let him go down there on his own. whos coming with me?"

Eefri steps forth instantly and reaches for ivorys arm " me first" she says soft, but firm and indeed manages to squeeze past the other jedimaster and starts carefully down the stairs. though she is not yet holding her twin sabres, her hands are never far away from the hilts so they can be grabbed and ignited in less then a blink of the eye

(*sigh* F-me sideways. Just got finished typing up a long ass post and IE froze then shut down. I'll have to respond later when I get home from work. I won't have time to re-post now.)

[varkin]

Tilts his head on one hand their is Epsi saying he should wait out side and on the other Ivory, his Master saying who's with me? He paused thinking to himself "what to do?.... what to do?...." He eventually decides to follow the re Twi'lek down through the temple, not speaking one word he believed that he was here for a reason, the staff called to him but why?... is it because I'm the weakest?... surely it would want to be in the hands of the power fullest among us? All these thoughts were running through his head as he placed a hand to his utility belt pulling the hilt of his saber off it and holding it in the palm of his hand igniting it a green beam of energy shot out of the hilt as he held the saber over his head illuminating the dark corridor in a emerald green glow.

"what next?..." he whispers to himself as they continued through the old abandoned Jedi outpost...

(Maybe later Epsi.)

The hall greeted them with dim lighting. Emergency tracks lead the way to the stairwell off to the side while other tracks guided the way further into the outposts main hall area. Upstairs, offices sat empty, training rooms locked down, sleeping area's abandoned. Emergency lights, above the tracks spot lighted area's, leading up and down the stairs. She took to the rear of the group, opting to take this point to look for what others may miss in their focus of heading down to the main area where the staff would be held. She eyed the odd pairing of the groups would be 'guides'- Cirocco and Eefri. Perhaps luck would have it that Cirocco was taken out first. Perverse satisfaction settled over her at the thought of Cirocco dying painfully at the hands of the staff- choking on his own blood, his own power consuming him until he could barely blink in agonizing pain.

She sucked in a sharp breath while bringing a hand up to her temple in realization of what the staff and it's hold on this area, was doing. Her head bowed in concentration as she cleared her mind and summoned the lightside of the force to guide her and keep her control steady, her thoughts pure. With that, she started after the group once they were all inside.

The stairs would lead them down, winding their way to the first security check point. Like the rest, this door was locked, requiring an access code. This would be the easier of the two points. The second was a large lift, it's doors sealed shut and the lift, locked at the very bottom, secured in place due to the lockdown.

Cirocco looks down the corridor and takes out his communicator.

"Cirocco to the Dullahan. Ylsa. I want a full spectrum and gravitational scan of this entire building. Upload to my comm. now."

Cirocco's ship, which is holding in stationary orbit above the outpost, would make the scan and beging transmitting data to Coco's communicator. He curses under his breath as he notices the blast doors in the coridors . Turning around he looks at Eefri. She opened the outer door after all.

"There are other obstacles further into the building. looks like blast doors. you have the codes? I have very little patience for these kind of things at even the best of times and this certainly does not fall into that category. If we do not get through these irksome delays quickly I am perfectly willing reduce this entire building to a smoking crater from orbit and sort through the wreckage."

[eefri]

The green eyed twilek just ignores ciroccos rudeness. there is other things far more disturbing then his non existent manners. she walks over tot he blastdoors her motions filled with the grace that is the curse and the fame of the female twileks. The darkness is pressing on her, like it did with everyone, and while she went through a lot in her past she feels this being the toughest challenge so far.
Walking past the darkjedi she places a slender hand against the door and seems to listen but suddenly she yanks her hand away from the door "If you really insist i open the door master cirocco, but then we would be dead within seconds, there is a lot of heat behind the door, and that means nothing but fire" she looks over to the others the odd pairing of the padawan and epsilon, knight drexel with ivory and cirocco burning so brightly with rage that it almost hurts to watch him "we have to find a different way in"

Ivory nods and says " we can cut through the walls, but then we would be in danger of not making it out again. if this door is blocked by fire then we have to find a way to estinguish it, there is no other option then those two, because the emergency exit and entrance lays on the other side of Keren and is under water."
Her Arm has turned black up to the ellbow, but it is still fully funvtioning it just hurts. she uses the force to negate the pain and supress it until later. she was good to go, but the darkness that fuelled cirocco was taking its toll on her and most likely on epsilon as well.

( I'd like to set up a time to actually finish this in chat. This weekend, what time is good with all of you? Including friday since I know Saturday is christmas...but I doubt you'll be opening gifts all day ;D. Sometime saturday perhaps? I don't mind the time. I can stay up all night my time which would be Ivo, ciro's and Vark's morning or whatever works.)

[varkin]

(Ermmm... I'm not going to be on from like Christmas eve until after Boxing day, I think. You can all crack on with it though I don't mind but if you do... Try and mention me so its not like i gust vanished from the RP. If you could do that I'd be very grateful ;D

[epsilon]

That's fine. It doesn't have to be this weekend. Next week is fine as well. I wanted to give others the opportunity to get involved- those who may not feel inclined to respond to threads on the site.

(I'm going to resume this here for now. We'll set a date if wanted for sometime in the room but for now, I'll continue here with a post later tonight.)
