tfw you eat raw meat for your daily meals & are forced to suffer witnessing your knight brothers eating all sorts poor packaged excuses for nutrition.

Cursed by a foul anomaly of arcane perplexity. The scientist lingers caught between the shards of time, a fraying thread —so she perceives from murmurs cast beneath the cracks of the throne room door. A horrid fate to befall any being. Especially one so out of tune with the living force. Yet, she wonders, if this plague was not of his own making; the consequences of defying nature. The thought is enough to spark a fleeting sense of uncertainty over her own shadowed path.

Master? Jailer. Puppet-master. Corpse. That creature's claws has been released from her flesh, left to rot in the hollow halls of rusting splendor. ❛ He was no master of mine. ❜ She hisses, canines bared. ❛ Any deal you had with Snoke means nothing now. Your usefulness to the new Supreme Leader will dictate your fate. ❜ Pointed teeth gleam beneath a vicious sneer, accenting the fierce curve of crimson eyes. ❛ If your skills are as adept as proposed he might offer you aid. ❜ Arms fold across and armored chest as she regards him curiously. ❛ How much do you know about repairing the weapons systems of a star destroyer? ❜

karitza ren ˢᵉⁿᵗ : ❛ What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? ❜ / @inarretable

         Defiance alighted in Krennic's gaze  —  clouding brilliant blue in a shade of rage.     Blood continued to seep from his nose   ,   trickling seemingly perpetual in a metronomic cadence.     Fragile mortality harkened towards its origin;     &   each fibre of morphophysiology shrieked in TORTURED agony for this contradiction to repair itself.     Calloused fingers roughly swiped it away   ,   leaving behind faint sideway lines.         ❛  I had a deal with your master.  ❜         baritone voice growled lowly.         ❛  Help me   ,   or there’s nothing more to discuss.  ❜  

[inarretable]

Karitza’s conflict with other jedi at the Academy was likely centered around her belief in leveraging the dark side for things like healing. In which one can drain life from another to heal someone else. And the fact that she is not against leveraging the dark side to enhance one's power during battle. She was leaning a bit toward the darker side of gray before the fall.

❛ Better than the last guy. ❜ One shoulder rises in an idle shrug. The cover of her mask disguises the twitch of an amused smirk. Head cocked slightly, she observes her target, admiring the adeptness of his awareness. A rare skill amongst many. Yet certainly vital for someone in his presumed occupation. Gaze following the movement of his hand, her postures remains lax. No weapon drawn.

❛ That is a logical inference. ❜ The bounty hunter takes a measured step forward. ❛ Only a few days, ❜ she muses, a spark of amusement woven into her tone. ❛ I admit, it is refreshing to encounter someone intuitive enough to detect my presence. That, perhaps, is why I am here. ❜ Their eyes lock for a lingering moment. ❛ By proxy, to summon you. ❜

@inarretable said: you're pretty good at covering your tracks.

Lucky raises both eyebrows at her words. The implication behind them not lost on him. " Yeah ? Well , not good enough apparently . " He says, then takes a moment to take the stranger in. A threatening figure if he's ever seen one. Her intentions unclear, he puts a hand on the rifle strapped to his back.

" People that try to find me usually do so because they either need my help , or because they wanna kill me . Since I'm still alive , I'm optimistic it's not the latter . " He says. His suspicion remains visible on his expression. " How long have you been following me ? "

[inarretable]

Blood stains clenched teeth, bared in an vicious scowl as she lowers her blade. The echo of the felled body thrums through the earth, falling into the vibration of the force, which feeds the air they breathe. The fire in her eyes fades as holsters her weapon, leaning forward to offer her hand to the teen before her. She pulls him upward, examining him for injuries —overwhelmed with relief when she find nothing more than superficial wounds.

thanks for coming back for me. tanyn ren utters.

The youthful din of his voice drives a knife into her heart, yet the intrepidity emboldening her posture does not waver. He is young, too young for any of this, she fears. Yet, what choice do any of them have once touched by the incontrovertible will of the shadow. —An ethereal energy that seeps into ones bones. This path requires both diligence and caution; thoughts often pondered yet rarely discussed. Now, cast aside in lieu of imperative actuality. Karitza gazes a her knight, her charge, this child that fate has commanded her to raise.

Gently cupping @fcalty's face with both of her hands, she gazes at him with a tenderness she once feared was stripped from her by the trials of fate. ❛ I will never leave you, ❜ she promises, the sliver of raw emotion in her tone echoed in her eyes. ❛ Even if the stars erupt and the whole galaxy starts to burn. ❜ Their foreheads touch for a fleeting moment before her thumb rises to swipe the blood from his face. Red stains black leather, blending into the violent mosiac of her splattered armor. ❛ We are a team. All of us. ❜ She assures the young knight. ❛ I have faith that any of your brethren would have done the same. ❜

RECOVERING AFTER THE BIG BATTLE PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for conversations after you just went through absolute hell to protect something, get somewhere, or fight your way through hordes of bad guys, adjust as necessary

how are you holding up after that?

they knew we were coming.

i didn't think we were going to survive that.

can you stand? do you need me to help?

take some deep breaths. it's over.

i need a headcount!

there was nothing we could do to stop them.

i've never seen weapons like that before.

don't you dare close your eyes. stay awake for me.

let me go grab you something to drink.

i'm sorry. they didn't make it.

get me a medic.

we won't survive another battle like that.

we should have been more prepared.

the odds were stacked against us.

sound off! who's not dead?

if you're bleeding, tell me now.

don't bullshit me. you're limping. when did you start limping?

just a few more steps and we can rest.

they knew we were coming.

i'm going back for them. you stay here.

there's nothing else we can do to help them.

our world is lost.

i saw you out there, fighting for your life.

i'm sorry i couldn't be there to help you fight them off.

given what i just saw out there, i think your training is complete.

you saved my life.

they were never going to get past you.

we all need time to rest after that.

maybe we should set up camp, take turns keeping watch.

we did it! it's over!

next time, we won't be so lucky.

have you seen [name]? did they make it out?

they were stronger than we expected.

we have to prepare for the second wave.

there's no time to run.

get me the healer.

just lay back down, and i'll take care of you.

you're not going to die, not under my watch.

you showed up the second i needed you, like you heard me.

i don't think i can face a battle like that again.

we got lucky, but the next time they attack, they'll be ready for us.

we cut down their numbers, but they're still strong.

there must be something we can do.

i thought you said you weren't injured!

think you're going to have to go on without me.

i wasn't prepared for any of that.

i need more training.

we can't face that kind of firepower alone.

how long until they send reinforcements?

they've got us trapped here. it's only a matter of time until they come back to finish the job.

there has to be some other way to defeat them.

we underestimated their power.

thanks for coming back for me.

we need to come up with a better strategy.

Karitza’s card for the darkside deck of the Destiny Calls ( Duel of the fates inspired plot ) verse.

[inarretable]

I'm reading the Knights of Ren scenes in the Duel of the Fates script and picturing Karitza, @renkniighted, Tanyn @fcalty & @pohlepen. Because, let's face it, they are a formidable team. I imagine @thirdsght is off with Kylo.

[inarretable]

Animosity thrums through the ether, setting her intuition ablaze. She is not ignorant of her target's abilities. Nor is she brash enough to risk a altercation at close quarters, if her findings prove true.

you don't have a say in the matter, anakin skywalker proclaims

The bounty hunter stalls in the face of the warning, body lax and limber. One finger loosely over the trigger of a lowered blaster. ❛ So you say, ❜ she concedes nonchalantly, a stroke of amused cynicism woven between each word. ❛ I'm willing to bargain you do not have much say over your designation on this planet. Nor do you know the purpose of this little rendezvous. ❜ Her shoulder rounds in a half shrug. ❛ Aren't you curious? ❜

Rare a rare candid holo-capture of 'The Horned Knight' also known as [ REDACTED ]

[inarretable]

Beneath the sheath of weathered ore, blood stains her hands, bone deep, etched into the fabric of her being. Souls of mothers, sons, monsters and men. Devoured by the dark side's rapacious wrath. The knight wonders if this girl can truly understand the gravity of her own presumption. Zhaboka balanced masterfully between gloved hands, she circles the jedi slowly. Crimson eyes study her opponent from behind the onyx vizer of the horned helm. ❛ Perhaps I am not the only one, ❜ she muses, zabraki accent sharpened by the mechanical din of the helmet's vent. The knight lingers, absorbing the tremor within the air as their auras collide.

❛ War has left its mark upon us all. You above most, so I have heard. ❜ Karitza calls across the narrowing space, the winding wind carrying the solemnity her words. Astounded by her adversary's youth, the zabrak recalls a dark haired boy laughing and smiling with the other students in her charge. A relic of a bygone era. ❛ If you have come to save my mortal soul, I am afraid you are a little too late. ❜ A flicker of mirth hums beneath the grating sarcasm as the bladed staff careens.

" i see through the cracks, @inarretable. you're haunted. "

@inebranlabl / sc.

[inarretable]

Consider that Karitza is the oldest knight and she was 26 when the temple burned down verses most of the other knights were in their teens. Yes, she tried to guide them & look after them. But she also has a lot of embarrassing awkward teen stories in her arsenal.

[inarretable]

I'm just thinking about Karitza separating her saber staff mid-battle and force sliding/passing one of the blades to another knight in a fluid movement.

[inarretable]

@cava1ier —✦ "What the hell is that? Don't you have one of those sparking red laser swords too? I thought that was your group's signature style."

Thrumming with latent energy, the pike within her hands emits a barely audible hum. A slight twist of her helmet is the only acknowledgement she grants the officer's statement. Silence lingers for but a shallow moment. The two halves of her saberstaff, bled red as a Iridonian sunset, are holstered beneath her cloak —gathering dust from unuse. Gripping the hilts within her clawed hands is like driving a speeder, the inclination comes back on instinct no matter how much time has passed.

Yet, some memories are best buried, for the time being. And her skills with a force pike are no less sharp. ❛ Not all of us are the illustrious Kylo Ren. ❜ The monotone din of her voice rings through the helmet's vocoder. ❛ If you are displeased with my choice of weapon you are welcome to handle this predicament on your own. ❜

PROMPTS FOR THE FORCED PROXIMITY TROPE *  assorted dialogue for the moments and circumstances that force two characters to spend time together, adjust as necessary

who said i agreed to any of this?

i said i would help you. i didn't say i would be nice to you while i'm helping you.

you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.

oh no. don't tell me it's locked.

i was hired to protect you. that's my job.

i'm actually starting to tolerate you, believe it or not.

i don't want to be stuck here with you.

i'll work with anyone but you.

i'm not letting you sleep on the floor.

they're forcing me to work with you and i don't like it.

how long do you think we'll be stuck here?

is that the only tent we have?

i think we're snowed in here. we'd better find a way to stay warm.

it's going to take a few days for them to reach us.

you sleep in that room, and i'll take this one.

you can't get rid of me that easily.

i'm just going to come right out and say it - i hate being here just as much as you do, but we have to make this work.

don't get any ideas.

i'm going to see if they'll switch my room.

until you came along, i had this under control.

if we're going to survive this, we'd better work together.

why did they sit me next to you?

i'd like to be as far away from you as possible.

out of all the people in the world, i had to get stuck with you.

guess you're just gonna have to get over it.

i thought you were worse than this.

i'm not going anywhere, and neither are you.

you're not exactly my favorite person to be around.

well, get used to it. i'm not leaving.

i told them i don't need a bodyguard.

i never wanted to spend this much time with you.

all this time spent together has really opened my eyes.

you're not as bad as i thought you were.

we might as well try to get along.

i guess i should learn a little bit about you.

i think that means we're the only ones left.

there's no way i'm sharing a room with you.

you again? i've seen enough of you already.

i thought [name] was coming. why are you here?

they're counting on us to save them.

since we'll be here for a while... might as well make the best out of it.

i think we can set aside our differences for two minutes and work this out.

honestly, i think i was wrong about you at first.

there's absolutely no way i'm working with you.

fine, but you're sleeping on the floor. i'll take the bed.

as your bodyguard, i'm supposed to stay with you at all times.

i think we're snowed in for a while.

you could always sleep on this side of the bed.

we have to at least pretend we like each other.

the whole point in having a bodyguard is for me to keep you safe.

i don't like asking for your help, but here i am, asking.

you and i are the only ones who can deal with this.

you don't have a say in the matter.

looks like we're stuck here.

just sleep in the bed with me. i'll even make a pillow wall between us.

i'm not sharing a tent with you.

i need you to stay out of my way.

could you at least "guard" me from over there? why do you have to stand so close?
