[OOM] Ilum, Jedi Enclave.

[stuck_mynock]

They have all of an hour to get up, shower, have breakfast and get ready before Atton is rushing off, yelling back at Will and Guppy about how they should start making tracks.

Five minutes later, they arrive in the hangar bay, and Atton starts looking around for their snowspeeders. He's a little miffed when he sees what they have instead.

Furry animals, about halfway between mammal and flightless bird, with reins and harnesses.

"I thought we were getting snowspeeders, not tauntauns," he protests.

The Jedi he's talking to shakes their head, sadly. "Snowspeeders are all broken."

"Aye, good, dinna wish to lose ye."

Now Will can hear the dogs again and he looks away from the direction they're coming from.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton's eyes flick over to Will, before he shrugs and starts walking again.

"We can't let these visions lead us around. We don't want to get lost."

[guppy_sandhu]

"My son looks like he might be cooler than me." Guppy says, dazedly. "Or not, depending how his lyrics go down."

He rubs his forehead.

"I'm sorry for getting sidetracked. I... I couldn't see or hear either of you."

[will_scarlett]

Will's just nodding and trying very hard to keep his attention on Atton and what he's saying as the dogs keep sounding louder and closer.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"C'mon. Let's see if we can find a map."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods, glancing at Will.

"Will, you okay?"

[will_scarlett]

He can hear Guppy but the fear from the dogs getting closer is louder and Will starts running, he won't be caught again.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Will!" Atton speeds into his path. "Stay still. Don't start running off on your own." Pause. "S'not real."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy catches them up, ducks down and firmly presses on the pressure points on both Will's ankles, catching him as he falls. He can't stop the vision but that should mean Will can't run off for a minute or two.

"Will, focus on us."

[will_scarlett]

Will curses as he goes down, "Let me go!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton waits, silently, prepared for if Will tries to run again.

[guppy_sandhu]

"It's okay Will, it's okay." Guppy holds him gently but firmly; presumably between the two of them they can keep Will restrained until this wears off, and treat any black eyes and bruises afterwards.

[will_scarlett]

The dogs are getting closer and Will keeps fighting as he yells,

"Willna let 'em take me, na 'gain!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton realises there's no reasoning with Will, not at the moment.

Thus, he just moves to help Guppy hold him.

[guppy_sandhu]

"It's okay." Guppy keeps saying, holding Will in a firm hug hold.

"How long was I out for?" He asks Atton, grimacing as one of Will's flailing hands hits him on the nose. He swears and holds on tight.

[will_scarlett]

After a time, Will stops as the sounds finally fade and he looks up at them,

"Forgive me."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Not long," Atton says.

Then, as Will calms, he lets go and steps away.
"I don't think you injured either of us too badly."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy's nose is bleeding slightly, but clearly not broken or anything. He presses a tissue onto it.

"It's okay." he says again, helping Will up. "Are you all right now? Yours sounded a lot more frightening than mine."

[will_scarlett]

"Thought was bein' chased 'gain with 'ounds."

He sits up slowly, trying to pull himself together.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"The Rakata utilised blends of both the Force and technology. It might be a security system of some sort," Atton says. "Either way, we should just try and pay as little attention as possible to them, and just keep moving."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy checks his nose isn't bleeding enough to make him feel light headed, which it isn't, then tucks the tissue in his pocket and offers Will some water.

"As soon as any of us feel weird, we need to say so." he says. "Then the others can keep them still until it stops."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye."

Will takes the water and has a long sip as he gets ready to go again.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton makes an agreeable noise as he continues onwards.

Eventually, they reach a slightly larger room, with the remains of tables and chairs scattered around. Atton stops as they enter, cocking his head to listen to something.

Soon, what he's listening to becomes apparent. There are rapid footsteps coming from across the room.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I can hear footsteps." Guppy says immediately, grabbing onto both of their sleeves.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, me too."

He reaches for his sword and looks to Atton.
