Occlus goes to Fairyland
Permalink

Another day, another Council meeting. They are mostly a waste of time, so far as she is concerned. Inconsequential babbling over the war effort. At least she didn't have to return to Korriban for this one. But now it's over and she can return to cataloging the shipment from Malachor. Some promising items in there.

Except... This isn't the turbolift. This is, in fact, a forest.

Yup. A forest full of plants. No animals. No turbolifts.

If this is some sort of trap, it's a well-arranged one. She can't sense any Sith. She reaches out with her senses. Any other sorts of living beings...?

Not really nearby. There's one a ways that way.

That's probably her best chance for answers. She heads off thataways.

Little yellow haired guy with wings, up a tree picking fruit.

Permalink

She stands near the base of the tree, and waits to be noticed.

Permalink

He spots her. "Why hello! What's your name?"

Permalink

"I am Darth Occlus. What is the planet?"

Permalink

"This isn't a planet. Want a drupe?" He holds up a plump fruit.

Permalink

"If it is not a planet, what is it?" She ignores the fruit.

Permalink

He tosses it to her in a friendly sort of motion. "Well, this is a forest. I'm Yellow. What's your real name?"

Permalink

She holds up a hand, and the fruit is arrested in midair. She squeezes, and it bursts, messily. None of the flying pulp lands on her.

"It is unwise to antagonize me. Answer the question."

Permalink

"Wow, touchy." He starts to fly away.

Permalink

She swats him down.

"I'm not finished with you."

Permalink

He squeaks in alarm and tries to take off again.

Permalink

She rolls her eyes and presses down on his mind with the Force.

"You don't want to run away. You want to answer my questions."

Permalink

He goes a bit crosseyed. "What were your questions?"

Permalink

"Why did you say this was not a planet?"

Permalink

"Because it isn't."

Permalink

"What is it instead, then?"

Permalink

"It's bigger. It goes forever."

Permalink

"You want to answer me truthfully. Are you lying?"

Permalink

"No."

Permalink

Hmm.

"Why did you ask for my 'real' name?"

Permalink

"I wanted to catch you for a vassal."
