As the ship enters the atmosphere of the planet, Yuraya reaches out with the Force to get the feel of the planet. What she feels, or rather what she doesn't feel makes her stop for a moment.
Where there should have been life there is nothing but a void with a deep undertone of evil. She feels a prickle at the back of her neck. This place is creepy.
Yes, this seems like the perfect place for the Fallen to be.
As the barren landscape comes into wiev Yuraya is overwhelmed by the amount of destruction she can feel has passed.
She spots a landing platform and directs the sleek craft to a smooth landing. As the ship settles the prickling feeling returns and Yuraya whips around. She was sure she heard something. Or perhaps she felt it?
She cautiously exits the cockpit, walking the lenght of the corridor, her hand resting on her lightsaber.
Was there anything or was it just her mind playing tricks on her?
She can't quite shake the feeling of someone or something being near as she activates the ramp and exits the ship.
The planet looks even more creepy and eeriely quiet from outside the ship and she can't help feeling a shuttering down her spine.

At first, there's nothing but the shadows to be expected. Long shadows from ruins, rocks, dead trees. And silence. thick silence. Then, suddenly, Yuraya might feel a hint of something in the Force. A being. A sentient being. With no warning, someone appears directly behind her.
"Well well wel, what have we here?" the voice is cold and calm. The other being is so close she can almost feel his breath in her neck.

Yuraya does indeed feel the subtle hint that someone might be nearby.
At the words she whips around, drawing and activating her lightsaber in one fluid move. It is pure instinct. The bright purple blade casts an even more eerie light on the being she is now facing.
"Who wants to know?" she asks, her voice trembling every so slightly as she tries not to let her fear show too much.

"I do..." Varuun Carro smiles viciously at the woman, taking a small step closer, not the least afraid of her lightsaber. He's dressed in a black tunic, and his bloodred hair is gathered in a braid going all the way down to his waist. He's pale skin has a sickly colour of bright violet - but that's probably due to the woman's lightsaber. Then, his tentacles emerges from their sockets.

"Right..."
Yuraya considers the being in front of her for a moment, eyeing the tentacles suspiciously. He is rather frightening, but she refuses to let herself be intimidated. Still, she moves her lightsaber around nervously in her hand, trying to get a better grip on it and swallows almost audiably.
"Well, unless you're the most ignorant Force-user ever, I guess you already know what I am - or rather, used to be...." She lets the comment hang, not wanting to volunteer too much information to the quite scary stranger.

Varuun takes one step back, looking at the woman with a wry smile. In a fraction of a second, his lightsaber is in his hand, the silver blade glowing coldly.
"You...are an intruder..."

Yuraya scrowls and drops into a defensive fighting stance.
"Intruder, huh? And why don't you enlighten me as to who's property I'm intruding on then?" she asks, sounding more confident than she actually feels.

Varuun laughs. A deep, chuckling sound.
"You're gonna fight me, little girl?" He stops, lowering his head a bit, the laughter gone, and a dark, malevolent stare in his eyes.
"You're gonna regret that...how old are you? 20? 22? And you're gonna fight someone with more than 200 years of experience...good luck..."

"Who said I would fight you?" she replies, watching his lightsaber carefully.
"Perhaps I just don't take an overly friendly attitude to strangers sneaking up on me..."
She is perfectly aware that the being could possibly cleave her in half before she would know what had happened. But she keeps her lightsaber ready anyway, not sure of what the being will do.
She almost regrets having lost her knife when she threw it at her Master. The element of surprise might have been an advantage should this end in a fight. She makes a mental note to find a new one. If she survives the encounter, that is...

"Oh oh oh....it talks back..." Varuun grins.
"So, little girl, what is your business here on Jandoon, home of the Fallen Jedi?" He moves closer to her again, his lightsaber held high, ready to strike at her.

"Vacation" Yuraya replies sarcastically.
"It's such a pretty world" She gestures to the barren, rocky landscape.
She refuses to give ground to him and stays where she is.

Varuun's tentacles slide out of their sockets, closing in on her face.
"Now, lets drop the sarcasm, shall we?" He steps closer to her.
"Or that might, very well, be the last intelligent thought going through your head. Lets try again. Why are you here?"

Yuraya eyes the tentacles with disgust.
She sighs "alright, if you insist..."
Still not letting her defence drop, she says "Long story short: I threw a knife at the one they called my 'Master'. Unfortuately the wound wasn't lethal."
She shrugs. "I had heard rumors about the ones called 'Fallen' and thought this as good a place as any to go. Satisfied?"

"And so you came here, when your former playmates kicked you out? How sad..."
"And what do you expect of this place, then, little girl?" Varuun takes yet another step towards her.

Yuraya feels the urge to roll her eyes, but thinks better of it.
"You don't get it, do you? They didn't 'kick me out' - I left them. There's a huge difference" she says impatiently.
Despite her impatient outbursts, Yuraya is not as confident as she may sound. She shifts her lightsaber a little nervously, trying to find a better position as he comes almost uncomfortably close to her.
"What do I expect? Well, I guess I expected to find someone who believe in power and that power should be taken, not given. That the weak should serve the strong."

Post by Varuun Carro on Mar 15, 2009 23:47:37 GMT 1
"Oh, I believe in power. And I believe in the weak serving the powerful. And I believe that I'm more powerful than you. That makes you the weak one. How do you like the sound of that?" Varuun smiles viciously.
"So, give me one reason why I shouldn't...take a little taste of you?"

"Well, at least it would be someone with the right beliefs who were stronger than me for a change." Yuraya replies, fully aware that he probably is right. She has already accecpted the possibility that some of the people here will be stronger than her.
She almost takes a step backwards at his last comment. Almost.
"You would dispose that easily of someone who could end up being a valuable asset to your cause?" she asks, really wishing that he would retract those disgusting tentacles.

"Oh, but, by providing soup, you would indeed be a valuable asset. You see...I really, really depend on soup regularly. I get so grumpy. I guess you can call it..low bloodsugar?" He laughs, shortly, his tentacles dancing dangerously close to Yuraya's face.
"And you just mentioned the whole serving the powerful thing, did you not?"

Yuraya shifts her lightsaber, bringing the blade between their faces while she takes half a step backwards.
"So you believe that by sucking my brains out I will be of more use than if you didn't?" Yuraya's impatient nature is starting to show, even though she is getting more and more scared of the being.
"And yes, I did mention that. But not in the manner of being your dinner!" she says, now taking a full step backwards in a mix of fear and disgust.

"Maybe....maybe not..." Varuun grins, something close to...madness? showing in his eyes.
"Question is, if I don't eat you...what should I do with you? Just let you in? Give you the key? say welcome?"
His silver blade is held loosely in his hand. Obviously, the weapon is not his main threat.
"You don't really believe that yourself, do you?"

Yuraya doesn't reply right away.
She takes another step backwards, her fear becoming almost palpable.
Perhaps coming here wasn't such a good idea after all...?
No, she scrolds herself. She has made up her mind.
And it doesn't seem likely that she could make it back inside the ship even if she wanted to anyway.
"Perhaps not." she finally says, a little reluctantly.
"You could skip the 'welcome' part" the words are out of her mouth before she can stop them.

Varuun laughs. With a vicious smile, he shakes his head.
"So, I skip the welcome part, and just hand you the key. Sure...and here I thought Jedi were supposed to be smart. Or, maybe their standards have fallen, after I left?" He grins.
"Or, maybe you're just a really lousy jedi?"

"I was smart enough to leave them." she says.
"And if being impatient, incompassionate and trying to kill my Master counts a 'lousy', then yeah. I guess I was'
She is still holidng her lightsaber between them, and extremely consious of the tentacles.

"Well well well...you're a funny little thing, aren't you?" Varuun smiles darkly.
"Funny enough to be kept alive for a little while longer, maybe?" He holds the lightsaber close to her.
"Questions, questions..."

"I would prefer that..." Yuraya replies drily.
She keeps an eye on the tentacles, but is also very much aware of the lightsaber coming closer to her.

Suddenly an invisible hand seems to grab Yuraya, and lifts her from the ground. Varuun look up at her, his head slightly tilted, as if he's wondering what funny thing she is.
"So...I guess I should bring you inside..."

Yuraya startles as she is lifted from the ground.
She wriggles, trying to get back down, but it seems he is too powerful.
"I can walk!" she hisses.

"Oh, you can, can you?" Varuun laughs coldly.
"Good for you, isn't it?" He doesn't let her down though. Watching her hang motionless in the air seems to humour him quite a bit.

Yuraya is getting furious at being lifted around like a doll.
She tries to use the Force to free herself, attempting to send a Force push against Varuun.

Varuun takes a step back as she force pushes him, but otherwise there's no effect. None at all. He laughs shortly.
"Honestly, I think you should start behaving yourself, little friend"
