[OOM] Kazic III.

Jaq is sat upon a clifftop, staring outwards into the distance.

There was someone in the trees earlier, watching from afar, but he's gone now. Jaq doesn't suspect he'll come back soon.

Signal??

Teja looks at Guppy strangely. This must baffle the child!

Kate sighed, and rubbed a hand over her face, "Oh this is going to go over just great."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Pause.

Then: "I don't think 'signal' means what you think it means." Shrug. "Your smell changed, and your heartbeat got louder and faster."

[guppy_sandhu]

"But you could still feel that, from a distance." Guppy says. "Is that what could have been used to trace us?"

If so, that's pretty bad...

[ostro_goth]

So those who are after them have those Force powers, also?

Teja wonders, but says nothing.

"We *have* to figure out how to get away or stop them. They might be on their way here." Kate pointed out, her senses and stance going to battle alert. She didn't want those creatures being led to Jaq's family.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Headshake. "I don't know."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy thinks for a moment.

"If they're definitely after us, then your family might be safer if we go. But if they're actually after you, then we could help protect them."

[ostro_goth]

"Can we capture one of them and ask him?" Teja says.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Well we need to make a decision fast. They might be on their way here."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"They're after you. They just ignore me."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Jaq, can you get your family to safety on your own? You have to get packed and out of here, persuade your mother, get to the spaceport before they start picking people."

[ostro_goth]

"Then let us hurry away," Teja says.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate nodded, "Anything we need to grab from the place before going? And where to? The spaceport? Woods are going to be dangerous with the wildlife and this."

She then considered, "Unless there's a way to get one to take care of the other."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Helpfully: "The wolves will eat them. Or they'll eat the wolves. I'm not really sure."

[guppy_sandhu]

"I have adequate food and medical supplies." Guppy says. "We can leave right now."

But he hesitates. He doesn't want to leave Jaq.

[ostro_goth]

"Indeed," Teja says, "we can, if we know where we are going?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"To the spaceport I guess? Best place as any. Though getting through the woods, try to lose whoever's following us."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You might lose the people with the bleeding eyes. You won't lose the Dark Man, though."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Then let's outrun him." Guppy says.

"Jaq, take care of yourself, and your family, and no matter what anyone tells you remember that none of this is your fault."

He reaches into his bag, gets out a smaller cloth bag and puts into it some of the food and medical supplies, and some money, and gives it to Jaq.

"Godspeed." He says, turning to go before he can become overemotional and give something away.

Then he turns back.

"Which way is the spaceport?"

[ostro_goth]

Teja shakes his head, amused.

Oh, Guppy.

He says nothing, but waits for an answer to be forthcoming.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate sighed, "Where's GPS when you need it?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"That way," Jaq says, pointing.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Could you be a little more specific?"

[ostro_goth]

"How far?" Teja asks.
