[OOM] Kazic III.

Out in the vast forests of Kazic III, the carpet of snow is rather abruptly disturbed as a flash of green light sends snowflakes flying outwards and animals fleeing.

A moment later, a green line appears in the air, and widens to admit (more like toss out with considerable force) three people. It flickers for a moment, before creaking closed again, and vanishing with a puff of greenish-white flame.

As far as worlds go, it's one of the more interesting ones to land in. The trees are evergreen and ridiculously tall, the snow is thick and heavy, and the sky has no sun to speak of, just shifting and glowing clouds in shades of gold, pink, amber and red.

Nearby, Jaq turns to look at them, eyes momentarily bright and amber, before he starts rubbing at them.
"Ow, ow, ow." When he's done rubbing them, they're grey again, if a little bloodshot.

Lyman peers at Guppy with a mildly bemused expression. Then at Teja. Then at Kate. It's possible he has no idea what they're talking about.

"Lyman, gytej," Jaq calls, wandering over. Lyman hurries back over to his side as Jaq sizes up the three. "You're offworlders." It's a little awkward, as if he's not quite accustomed to speaking Basic.

Hm, Guppy's going to enjoy that conversation... well, he won't run away from it, but she's definitely going to have to find him to initiate that.

He puts the stun gun away; this could still be a vision, but if not, he needs the boys to trust him for a moment. He hopes the others stay armed.

"Yes, we mean no harm." he says. "Can you tell us the way to the nearest town or village please?"

Teja re-sheathes his sahs. He will not threaten a child.

"We are too early," he says.

Many years to early.

"Why we gotta be careful. No butterfly stepping," Kate remarked in an aside, trying not to let the boys overhear that part.

She then stepped forward with a warm smile, "We're a little lost, and could use the help."

"There's a settlement down the hill," Jaq says, reaching over to hold Lyman in place as he tries to wander off. "But the nearest city with a spaceport is ages away. How long have you been travelling?"

Teja's sahs do get an interested look from Jaq. He is fond of shiny things.

"About five minutes." Guppy says. "We came through an interdimentional portal."

He watches Jaq carefully; it's not a good time to be pickpocketed right now.

"Is there any transport we could get at the settlement to get to the spaceport?"

"We're in the wrong time," Teja says. "Much too early. So even if we get there: - would we find what we came for?"

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"We'll just have to deal until we can get back somehow. Guess this explains why A wasn't with us."

Kate gave a glance at Guppy, unsure if the portal part should be mentioned. He didn't seem to recognize them.

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Guppy is given an extremely flat look from Jaq, one that manages to convey depths of unspoken sarcasm and disbelief.

Lyman, having no idea what they're saying, just looks bewildered

Chirpily, from Jaq: "If we stand around here, eventually more snow wraiths are going to come. Or wolves."
ostro_goth: (Axe)

[personal profile] ostro_goth 2009-08-02 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I fear not the wolves," Teja says. "But a snow wraith -- what is that? Was that woman one of those?"

Pause.

"We will gladly follow you, and reward you for getting us on our way."

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-08-02 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Guppy nods, following Teja's lead on this one. He's not sure whether this is a younger version of the Atton they know, or a different version entirely - he remembers vaguely something about Atton being kept underground as a child.

"Best get moving then."

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate nodded, and agreed, "Lead the way."

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"That thing there was a snow wraith, yes. The wolves are worse than them - the snow wraiths are just swarms of insects. They drain heat out of people and animals, which is pretty nasty, but they're telepathically linked with a shared mind, so you can kill them pretty easily by severing their links. The wolves are huge, though."

Jaq walks as he talks, dragging Lyman along as he moves through the forest.

[personal profile] ostro_goth 2009-08-02 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"How large?" Teja asks. "Would you need help in carrying the smaller boy?"
guppy_sandhu: (Default)

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-08-02 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"We should keep armed then." Guppy says.

"Did the wraith hurt you?" he asks Jaq.

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think between the group of us, we can handle the wolves. Least a few of them."

Kate glanced around and added, "How much further?"

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"A little further through the forest, and then down the hill," Jaq says, without looking round. "I'm fine. The wolves are bigger than most people, but they don't usually come too close to the settlement."
ostro_goth: (Not really smiling)

[personal profile] ostro_goth 2009-08-02 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Those would be quite big wolves," Teja says. "But I have my fold-up naginata with me, as well as the sahs."

Pause.

"With the right sort of weapon, nothing is too big."

[personal profile] guppy_sandhu 2009-08-02 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Godzilla would be." Guppy points out, before he realises Teja probably hasn't heard of Godzilla.

"Kate, are you getting cold?"

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"We're almost there. It's not that bad yet." Granted she did feel a little cold, and her eyes checked to make sure none of those insects were sneaking up on them.

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Who's Godzilla?" Jaq asks, as they reach the edge of the hill. Below, a cluster of buildings - some metal, some wood - can be seen.

"There we shall find warmth and transport!" Teja says, walking faster.

"Big dinosaur thing." Guppy says to Jaq.

"Ah, thanks lad." He digs in his pocket for some credits and gives him a good tip, and a couple of mars bars. He then digs into his kit bag, finds an extra jacket, and chucks it to Kate.

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks," Kate remarked and put it on. Well who knew? Especially coming from warm summer back in the bar and spring at home?

[identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The credits are stuffed away, but mostly ignored. Jaq scarfs the mars bars down. Lyman starts running off down the hill towards the settlement, and this time Jaq doesn't try to hold him back.

"You won't find any transport there, though. I mean, some tauntauns which were imported from Ilum and Hoth, and maybe a couple of speeders, but there isn't a spaceport down there."
