MODS PLEASE LOCK

"Oh, don't worry," Zajivaya said, giving the girl a catlike grin. "You two just cooperate, and there won't be any trouble at all. Now, why don't you put that delightfully quaint sword down and come with me, and we'll see about getting some answers." The Sith made no hostile moves, but her left hand did stray a bit closer to the double-bladed lightsaber resting on her hip. A knock on the door drew her attention for a moment, and she looked outside to see what looked like a Miraluka pressed up against the glass. It felt like a Miraluka too, the Force almost radiated off her. Now that was someone she wanted in her corner. "We'll be just a moment," Zajivaya said, making a placating gesture towards the blind woman. "I just need to deal with these two, and then we can talk."

America was done with this. She never believed there wouldn't be trouble. And she rarely cooperated. She put her hand on Alia's arm, and shadow traveled to her HQ. She would be exhausted afterward, and Alia would probably puke, but it was the only way out that didn't involve fighting.

(By the way, shadow travel looks like the person or people are blending into shadows, then disappearing in black smoke.)

(( I'm going to need to look at your character's name every single time I put it into my tags this makes me so angry.))

Karou scoffed at the first voice, ignoring it. But the second voice caught her attention. She pursed her lips together for a moment, debating on the words she heard. Karou decided that she would wait for a moment, as this person did manage to her attention in a different way than the others. Karou couldn't sense any sort of chakra in any of the people inside, or well, any sort of chakra that was normal. The second girl seemed to have something about her, but it definitely wasn't any sort of chakra energy. There were three of them, that she could sense from their life energy, being unable to call it chakra. But, she liked the sound of the second one's voice, to put it plainly. But on the other hand, she would miss out on whatever was happening. Ah well, she enjoyed being a spectator, as much as she did participating. "Better hurry it up then. I don't wait long to have things happen." She turned her body, instead leaning back against the door now, fingers drumming lightly against the door, time ticking down in her head. The first voice was much more, panicked? Louder, certainly. The second one, both females, was calmer. In control of the situation, most likely. "Mmm." She spoke suddenly, realizing something. "I Guess they don't have any oranges." She then cracked a smile to herself, wishing she had someone to share her witty commentary with. Sadly, no one was able to keep up with her.

[anxious ghost]

(Which one?)

(You can put Zaji if you want, that's usually what I do.)
A slight frown creased Zajivaya's face as the girls seemed to meld with the shadows, then vanish entirely. That wasn't like any ability, Force or otherwise, that she'd heard of. She wanted it. The power that she could wield, if she could not only shroud herself in shadow, but truly become shadow... a slight chill went up her spine at the mere thought of it. Now she wanted those girls more than ever. Still, she needed to find out where they'd gone, and that wasn't going to be easy. Releasing her hold on the doors, the Sith stepped outside to talk to the Miraluka. "I must say," she said, looking down at the woman leaned up against the door, "It is nice to see someone from home, even if you are Republic. Tell me, how is it you found yourself here? Do you have a ship with you?" Already, a plan was forming in her mind. She'd recruit this woman, or maybe even let her think she was in charge, take over this planet, then, once she was done, find the hyperspace route that brought her here, and bring the Empire to her. Imagine the stories people would tell: Darth Zajivaya, the Sith who conquered a galaxy.

((Zajivara. It's cool but too cool so I can't remember it. I'll shorten it to Zaji ^-^))
Karou felt the sudden disappearance of two of the life forces, and frowned. She wasn't able to feel the wind in the room, so she couldn't tell where they had gone, but they did seem to suddenly vanish. How strange. Maybe they were worth a check over after all. She turned her head towards the one she had dubbed 'second' when she began to speak. "We aren't from the same place." Karou said bluntly with a shake of her head, finally gaining 'visual' analysis of the other once they stepped out past the door. "You don't have any chakra, or rather normal chakra, inside of you. We're no where near water, so why would I have a ship? Unless you're talking about these machines these people have everywhere. Either way, you have a lot of questions, don't you? Something is off about you. What is it? You're obviously not from here from the words you say. Your energy is different from the others." She gestured vaguely to the surrounding area and any people that could be around. "Who are you?"

[InfectedHau]

"I am Darth Zajivaya," the Sith said, accentuating her statement with a few arcs of force lightning between her fingers. "Sith Lord, and member of the Dark Council." Now that the Miraluka mentioned it, her presence felt a little different too. Similar to the Force, but not quite the same. Maybe she wasn't a Miraluka. Maybe she was just blind. It made sense, the people here didn't have the technology to fix things like that yet. "By ship of course, I mean starship, but I can see now that particular point is rather moot. I assume your story is the same as mine, then? You were somewhere else, then wound up here, with no idea how or way to get home?" Really, it was better this way. If the girl had been Miraluka, in all likelihood she would've been Republic, or worse, Jedi, and then Zajivaya'd be without any allies to speak of. Since she wasn't, and she obviously had power, she was still useful. Maybe she could even replace Ashara as her apprentice, for the time being anyway. "Now that I've told you who I am," Zajivaya said, "It's your turn. Who are you, and what planet are you from?"

Questions seemed only to grow in Karou's mind rather than be answered. When she heard the crackle of lightning, she became very curious about the other. She weaved no sign before she created it, it simply appeared. Or at least, no signs that shw could protect. She nodded an affirmative to the first question. "Yeah, not sure how I got here, but I am." She considered what information to tell the other. Obiously the other didnt know who she was, nor were they a ninja, so she shouldnt have anything to worry about. "Name's Karou." Although, she wasnt exactly sure what the other meant by planet. Didnt she just live where she lives? "Im formally from the Village Hidden in the Leaves." She said. Too many things were still strange about this Zajivaya. These words she didnt know. "So you call yourself a, what was the word, Dart? Whats that? Knowing that you arrived here the same way got me all curious about you Zaji."

Zajivaya was beginning to understand now. The world she was currently on was backward, yes, but this woman was from a world more backward still. If only Talos were here to see this. "Darth," she began, putting on her best instructor voice, "Is my title, my rank in the Galactic Empire." She wasn't exactly sure how to translate that into words that Karou could understand, but she decided to give it a shot anyway. "In your terms," she said, "I suppose I would be considered a... second-in-command. Or whatever the rank below leader is in your society." She was going to give the blind woman a chance to process that, then realized that she would have no idea what the word "galactic" meant. "Tell me, Karou," she said, hoping to glean some level of insight into the other woman's society, "What do your people think about when the look up at the night sky?"
