PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

Screw this. I want this over with.

Hey Fire bitch. You want me, come get me.

Or are you too scared to face me without your vampire buddies?

[Filtered to Alema Rar]

Thanks for taking me out last night. I met some interesting people.

[Filtered against villains and Ruby, and Alema Rar]

I engaged in a little physical...intimacy last night. We Jedi may have our flaws, but thank the Force we're not a monastic order. I would have had to leave a long time ago if it was.

It's strange. Certain people in the Republic are...repulsed by our views. But I don't understand what's wrong with having a little fun. We have to remain unattached for the sake of our job, but that doesn't mean we're inhuman. I find it funny actually sad how prevalent the stereotype of the cold, emotionless Jedi is in our galaxy.


[ooc: And Serra will now deny her emotions, and the crisis she's going through. :P]

Ugh, human men.

How is it possible that the bigger the ego the bigger the likelyhood they're just compensating for something gets. Or are you all just compensating. is that it.

I'm just going to go back to the demons. They're generally less smarmy.

Feel free to defend your species and gender  and even go ahead and try and show me a good time to prove your point but FORCE.



ETA: I've since learned undead human males obviously can't perform. Explains a lot

How can I help her? Give her advice when I am the LAST person to talk to about trust, and visible signs of a fall to darkness.

I can't watch this happen all over again to someone else. I just can't.

...Does anyone ever miss something specific about home, A person, a place,  I miss my cousins, the gardens of my palace.

And of course Allana. Every moment of every day. But she is safe there, safer than she would be here.

Its not important, I have just found myself remembering home a lot lately.

[Ben]

How are you settling in?

It was just some demon, looking for trouble. No vigilante, no psycho superhero wannabe. Just a demon with nothing better to do than make things bad for people. I'm really not surprised. You all can argue that there are good demons out there, but you've gotta remember that there's a good number of bad one's out there too. Not everyone is innocent. And not every murder can be solved by pointing fingers at supposed vigilantes. That's just stupid. Good old fashioned demon. Nice and simple. Just the way I like it.

We took care of him. He's not a problem anymore.

[Ruby]
So who was he?

Do you have any leads on that vigilante killer yet?

I'm of two minds about it, because there is an issue here. Technically speaking, aren't we all vigilantes here? We're certainly not operating with the full authority of the law here, but I know he or she can't be allowed to get away with what they did.

So I was wondering if I could find out just who is patrolling where in this city. Because I'm kinda concerned guys. I was swinging by one of the less than evil demon bars and it seems like someone's had a party in there. One of the demons... I knew him. Kinda. Bit of a jerk, a couple of minions but he wasn't eating babies or anything. And he was alright for good Intell if you bought him a drink or two. And no one's talking about what happened. And ok, Slayer here, but I mean really not talking, even when I was being nice. All I'm hearing was... it wasn't quick.

I know there's a lot of bad in this city, believe me. And I'm not blaming anyone if they're new and instantly thought 'demons=badness' It's just...

Not all the demons here are evil y'know?

So, anybody want to do something? Hang out? Have a few drinks? Or watch movies and play video games? Maybe date? Or have some wild fun. I'm bored and open to anything. Except for patrols. Already did that for the last three nights, so I need a break.

ETA: Scorpius fails sometimes. Lol. Post is now "filtered against baddies", due to this.

Okay. Score one for being in Nowhere's Glenn one minute, and being in fantastic, sunny, and building filled Los Angeles! Score another one for not even having to pay for the trip! Although would it have killed whatever did this to have asked me? Look, I'm glad to be out of the town of the perpetual mist, but would it hurt to ask a woman before you toss her around?

Would anyone mind answering some questions? Where's a good place to stay, anything weird about this place; the usual.

So there really is no way to get back home is there. I can't believe this is for real.

I guess I'd better get comfy then. Here's an important question: any good comic shops around? I think I'm going through withdraw. You guys still do read comics here right? Guess it's a good thing I didn't have time to spend my allowance before all this happened. Comics are essential.

Can ... someone explain to me what's going on here? I'm supposed to be on Coruscant, but this -- well, it's definitely a whole different planet. One without any records of public spaceports. At least, I can't find any on this Holonet, but it's so crude I'm not sure I'm even using it right.

I did sense one or two other Jedi out there, though. I think. If any are reading this -- hi? This is Ben Skywalker. I think I might be lost.

What part of ask before taking don't these damn higher powers get?

How long was he in the dark side for? You know who I'm talking about.

And it isn't Anakin.

What the hell is this?

I saw this a couple hours earlier on a wall outside. Clearly it was outdated, but nevertheless, I was stunned. I did some some cursory research and the posted showed up once again, along with some basic info, which I'm looking at right now. The results are...disturbing.

How can this world possibly anything about our galaxy? Enough to make not one, but several films about it. So one of our own Jedi actually brings us down? And where am I in all of this? All that training and working myself to death to become a respectable Jedi Knight, and I end up in a second rate holovid game where he kills me after a few minutes of dueling? As if I really would have sliced into that pillar like that, which he could conveniently use to crush me. *eye roll*

How is this even remotely possible? I'm trying to understand, but it's not coming easily.

[Filtered to Jacen, Tenel Ka, Alema]

Tell me it isn't true. Tell me this is just exaggeration on the part of this world's fictional interpretation of us. I know the detail is impressive, but this can't be true. Tell me Anakin Skywalker didn't slaughter us like animals, using our own troops against us. The thought of that is...I'm trying not to tremble right now, but suddenly I don't feel very well.

Well, that was a nice distraction. I know I always enjoy randomly breaking out into song and dancing with a microphone I found somewhere. :P

You're all lucky you weren't near me during all this. I have a terrible singing voice. The worst. >_> Transparisteel has been known to shatter when my voice rears its head. Although I wonder what Master Windu would have done; what he would have sung about. And Master Yoda? That would have been the most mind blowing thing I have ever seen!

Now I'll have that image in my head for the rest of the day. >_>

I can't believe I said all those doubts. What the hell is wrong with me?

That was the weirdest thing. Ever. I'm going to have nightmares now of the bus driver trying to serenade me. And I thought Dakota City was weird. We had out share of problems, but I've never seen anything like this. The bang babies never randomly burst into spontaneous song and dance.

Anything else I should know? Does everyone secretly have their own theme song now?


[Filtered from baddies]
I've been thinking about this "war". I wanna help. I mean, play for team good guy. I don't really know much about this city yet, but I want to make a difference no matter where I am.

Living as a Jedi is an arduous task
Very noble stuff, but few rewards, now
Serving the Republic with the powers we have
Never taking time to find our own path

Is it worth, hon?
It’s so different from
What I had imagined it would be
Sometimes I find myself
Wondering if I should leave?

It’s cruel, it’s rough, this ongoing indecision
‘bout my life back home
I can’t shake off all the doubt
I don’t ever wanna let down those who stood
Behind me until now.


[ooc: To the tune of Real Emotion, by Jade from Sweetbox. Just imagine Serra singing and dancing with a microphone, Yuna style, in the background before writing this. ;D]

Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me

The field of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
Forgive me my sins

[Filtered to Serra]
I'm hoping, I'm praying
I won't get lost between two hearts
Follow a sin
The truth lies in between

[Filtered to Jacen]

How can blood be your salvation
And justify the pain
That we have caused throughout the times

Will I learn what's truly sacred
Will I redeem my soul
Will truth set me free

Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me

[ooc: Within Temptation - Truth Beneath the Rose]

Okay, so Tenel Ka told me to introduce myself when the time was appropriate, and I think enough days have passed since the St. Patrick's Day party fest for everyone to feel better.

As you've seen, my name is Serra Keto and I am a Jedi Knight. I'm the same as Tenel Ka in that I'm trained to defend the Republic and keep peace in the galaxy, however I come from a time period before her setting, where others were the prominent names among the Jedi. As for my fighting capabilities, I'm trained in the standard Jedi powers and can hold my own against multiple enemies. I have one advantage many Jedi don't, however: I can duel with two lightsabers at once, in a style called Jar'kai. It's my preferred style and I think I'm pretty good at it, to say the least.

I've been told there are a lot of conflicts in this city: demons, vampires, other supernatural creatures; plenty of things to fight that prey on the population. If you ever need my assistance with anything, the Hyperion will find me available at any time.


[ooc: Note: Serra doesn't know about their fictional status yet. Please keep her in blissful ignorance for a while longer. ;)]

What a whack quiz. Sounds more like Dad than me anyway.

( What Superhero are you? )

Boy, do I hate this place. Bev's not here, people make fun on me because I'm a duck and proud of it, and I'm working at a damn jacuzzi place again, and boy, are those places disgusting. I just want to go home.

DING-DONG THE BITCH IS GONE.

Tat's fucking right, I said it. She's gone/ and I can say whatever the hell I want about it. She just... she fucking comes in like this, y'know?" fucking comes and goes however the fuck she wants to screws arounf with shit and leaves. Leaves us alone and then she'll egt pissed again when one of us fucks up again. Or just fucks.

She laughs about fucking. But her idea of it is just utting her hand one someone's stomach and shouting 'you're pregnant. deal with it,' and I remember thinking if she ever got it properly maye she would't be so fucking judgemental all the time. She hates it so we don't even get to do it. What the fuck's the matter with it. She created it. Why the fuck would she keep us from something she created? It should be fucking divine. But no... she reserves everything for those she favours. Who's that? One guess.

It's not us.

She figured it out this time. Frogave all of us for now, but only because that fucking demon got her. she only learns adter she gets fucked aroudn, then it's back to business as usual.

We follo her into the depths of Hell because her love is like a fucking drug. Nothing in return. We're nothing more than fucking servants.


[ooc: Why did God ban alcohol that one time? Because drunk bartleby is drunk.]

Vacation's over, I guess, and that's fine. My daughter's being born soon and I do miss that Jersey shore. Being from New Jersey, after all, means never having to say you're sorry.

[Angels]
Be good. I don't want to have to come back here.

[Castiel]
I'm done telling you to leave her. But I will tell you not to let her cloud your judgement in whatever might come. I want you happy, but I also want what's best for you. That's all.

{Filtered from those with bad intentions}

Due to recent disappearances sadly, the Welcome Center could use a few extra hands, if anybody is interested.

I miss them

I need a job or something, something to keep me busy.

Cathy

Still want my help at the Welcome Centre?

Something's changed. Power's shifted in the air.

I like it.

Okay, so this world isn't that bad. You people have excellent taste in brews.

I...I actually had fun. I was surprised. Now it's back to serious business, I guess. Still, it was nice to forget about my troubles for a while and have fun. I didn't even have to get completely smashed. A few drinks and being around people celebrating was enough to make things seem better.


[Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka]

You didn't tell me Master Kenobi was here, once. What's the deal with you and Mirta Gev?

I don't know what this St. Patrick's Day is (reading up on that now), or what it commemorates, but getting drunk until I forget my current situation is a tempting proposition. I keep hearing about St. Patrick's day from people and drinking, so maybe I should give it a try. I know, it's hardly the proper way to deal with things, but I've had my brain overloaded with enough surprises for a while. A little relaxing wouldn't hurt.

Technically, we aren't supposed to do that, but a few of us always found ways around it. It may be a rumor, but I've heard from various sources that Master Kenobi favored a drink or two while he was on missions. Of course, it's not the same as losing one's inhibitions, but...overall it's interesting how he doesn't hesitate to indulge a bit.

Green alcohol, though? Reminds me of an Andoan ale.

I didn't realize how tired I was until this morning, after I had spent all night doing research on this place. I practically collapsed for a couple hours. I was actually going to ask the Council for a break, before coming here. The last battle I fought was a terrible one. We lost several hundred clone troopers, and countless civilians. I still wonder how anybody could support the Separatists when they're going around committing these atrocities, but I guess money trumps morals a lot of the time, and so does fear.

[Filtered to Tenel Ka, Colonel Jacen Solo, and the other Jedi]
I didn't know there were Angels here. Are they like the ones on Iego? Many people consider the planet to be a myth, but we have enough circumstantial evidence to know it exists. Creatures beyond the knowledge of the Council, plenty of battles to fight in, real life Angels...Anakin would think this was a paradise if he were here. He's got a weird obsession with them for some reason. We've never really figured out why.

Where the hell am I?

One minute I was in the Temple, on my way to meet with Master Gallia, and then I was here. I'm not familiar with this location, and I've seen info on a lot of places. My comlink's not working either. I'm sensing two Force sensitive presences here, but one of them seems strange. Like I can't get a grasp on it for very long.

Is there a communications array nearby I can use to contact the Council on Coruscant? And if you don't know what I'm talking about, then I think I'm in trouble.

I think my attire may be attracting some undue attention. Some idiots people keep staring at my lightsabers, like they've never seen one before. Then again, considering how primitive this planet looks, I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't. I thought everyone in the galaxy had standard speeders by now.

First the Separatists come up with a weapon to disable our ships, and now this. I guess I should be grateful no one else got pulled here, in case this is all some trap on that rust bucket Grievous' part, or the Sith's.
