The Cave: For Rage

[dan]

As you meditate by the fire, you get a feeling that you need to prove something to the crystals.

[Bob]

1. Rage will go back to where he was choaked earlier to face his fears...he expects them to be there. if they are there then my post ends

2. If nothing is there Rage will return to the fire, he will spend 2 hours working on his saber...if nothing happens while he is working on the saber he will move on to the next step. If something happens my post ends

3. He will try to get the crystals If something happens my post ends

3. If nothing is at the fire and Rage CANNOT pick up the Crystals Rage will leave the fire, and head back towards the entrance of the cave....to see what happens if he tries to leave the cave... if something happens here my post ends


4. Assuming he can re-enter He will return to the fire, and work on the saber some more

END OF POST



((feel free to intrude at any time during this))

[dan]

You get to the spot where you woke up, and it is empty. The fire is out and there is no trace of it or the crystals in the room when you return to it. As you get closer to the entrance to the cave, you see Sabby medatating just inside of the cave.

[23:10] jawsomebob: ________START________
[23:10] jawsomebob: "Master have I failed...the rooms are empty now all of them...I came back here to see..."
[23:11] Danimal 924: "The cave is not empty. Are you looking hard enough?"
[23:11] jawsomebob: "well it was full of things....some very horrible things...but now it is gone..."
[23:12] jawsomebob: "only darkness"
[23:12] Danimal 924: "Perhaps its not the cave that is dark, but your mind."
[23:14] jawsomebob: Rage renters the cave...slowly...taking note of everything as he walks in...
[23:14] Danimal 924: how are you taking note of everything?
[23:14] jawsomebob: i am touching the walls with my hand
[23:15] jawsomebob: looking in my pockets and equiptment for things to use for sources of light
[23:15] jawsomebob: such as my traning saber...
[23:15] jawsomebob: feeling with my hands
[23:15] jawsomebob: and my eyes
[23:15] jawsomebob: and also
[23:15] jawsomebob: sometimes just closing my eyes
[23:15] jawsomebob: and feeling with the force
[23:15] Danimal 924: When you reach out with the force, the cave seems to be bright
[23:16] jawsomebob: i stop using my hands...and try to walk using just the force...does it tell me anything or lead me anywhere?
[23:16] Danimal 924: It leads you back to the spot where you woke up. You can feel the disturbance of a great fight in this room. A being of great power in the force died near here.
[23:18] jawsomebob: I mediate in that exact spot asking the being for forgivness....
[23:18] Danimal 924: An old man walks up to you out of the shadows, he sits in front of you.
[23:19] jawsomebob: I open my eyes for the first time since I began feeling with the force and look at him
[23:19] jawsomebob: "I feel responsible. If I am I am sorry"
[23:19] Danimal 924: "What happened here was not your fault."
[23:19] Danimal 924: "Who are you, and why are you in the caves?"
[23:21] jawsomebob: "For many reasons, as a boy I wanted to be a hero...that boy had his head in the clouds though...full of dreams....but now I have actually come for different reasons...."
[23:23] jawsomebob: "I have been training to become a jedi....but something is different right now..."
[23:23] Danimal 924: "Oh?"
[23:23] jawsomebob: 'It just felt like it was time to come here..."
[23:23] Danimal 924: "You are lieing to me."
[23:26] jawsomebob: "I dont see how you could know why i have come here more then me...but I am rather confused on a lot of things...I will not hide that..."
[23:26] jawsomebob: "But I know what I am after...that much is true"
[23:26] Danimal 924: "Most Jedi that come here are on their trials. To build their own lightsaber. It has been many years since one has come into these caves."
[23:28] jawsomebob: "That is because of Dark Sidous...and the Sith...but Sidous is dead and his student has come back to the side of the light....the jedi are returning..."
[23:28] Danimal 924: "So the prophocy has been true....."
[23:28] jawsomebob: "I must master these Trials in order to become a full Knight of the Jedi"
[23:29] jawsomebob: "yes..."
[23:29] jawsomebob: "but evil still lurks..."
[23:29] jawsomebob: "I am not immune from the dark side...and I must play my part..."
[23:29] jawsomebob: "for better or for worse
[23:29] jawsomebob: "
[23:30] jawsomebob: "just tell me what I need to do"
[23:30] Danimal 924: The old man rubs his chin, he looks at you. "You have the taint of the darkside following you. Your actions of the past, and the future show much uncertentaty for your mind."
[23:32] jawsomebob: "We all have the taint of the darkside....that is the most important lesson I have learned since returning to my training..."
[23:32] jawsomebob: "Running from that truth only causes bruden on the good things we can do..."
[23:32] jawsomebob: "I thank sabby for enlighting me to that"
[23:32] Danimal 924: "Your master is a strange man."
[23:33] jawsomebob: "Some would call him a Sith...does that bother you sir? "
[23:34] Danimal 924: "I don't know. I have met a few Sith, some very evil. Your master, he holds himself back. Which isn't like any I have met."
[23:35] jawsomebob: "I dont think he is the same man...anymore...whoever he once was...I think I met him in this cave..."
[23:35] Danimal 924: "You saw some of what he has done, and what he could do."
[23:36] jawsomebob: "But that much is obvouis...I watched him kill someone before my eyes..."
[23:37] jawsomebob: "It's only myself now...that any mystery is left..."
[23:37] Danimal 924: "There is mystery with others you travel with."
[23:37] jawsomebob: "The woman? Or do you mean Rory?
[23:37] jawsomebob: "
[23:37] Danimal 924: "Rory, and the young boy who you seem to hate."
[23:38] jawsomebob: "Pemi..."
[23:38] jawsomebob: He is growing on me
[23:38] Danimal 924: "Yes, I can sense great things from him in the future, if one were to give the boy a chance. He has potential, for a young man."
[23:38] jawsomebob: "Hmm..."
[23:39] jawsomebob: "So what of my Saber...I have all I need to build it but no Crystals...?"
[23:40] Danimal 924: "They will show themselves to you when you are ready. This place, if you have not noticed, is strong in the force. It not only helps Jedi, it feeds on their power some."
[23:40] jawsomebob: hmm..
[23:40] jawsomebob: (closes his eyes again and searches his feelings to see if he should stay or go)
[23:41] jawsomebob: ((stay or talk to the man or move on))
[23:41] Danimal 924: Indifferent
[23:41] Danimal 924: though you get a feeling that staying wouldn't hurt.
[23:42] jawsomebob: Rage: "whats your name sir..?"
[23:42] Danimal 924: "Jolie Bindo."
[23:44] jawsomebob: Rage: "Never heard of you...but you sound like a nice person...."
[23:45] jawsomebob: Rage begins to meditate some more feeling with the force...listening as well as thinking and searching....
[23:45] Danimal 924: "Not a suprise you haven't heard of me, I died almost 1000 years ago."
[23:45] jawsomebob: "Does that mean your not really here?"
[23:46] Danimal 924: "What do you think it means?"
[23:46] jawsomebob: "I cant dream up someone ive never heard of...I think your the most real thing in this place...I just wanted to see what you would say.."
[23:47] Danimal 924: "The whisper of the past can play tricks on those without focus"
[23:49] jawsomebob: Rage tries to clear his head of all thoughts...
[23:49] jawsomebob: ...all emotions...
[23:49] jawsomebob: ...all attachments....
[23:49] Danimal 924: "Don't worry, you have gained some focus in your time in here. Do you know how long you have been in here?"
[23:50] jawsomebob: "No idea...but it doesnt matter unless I need food...i was out for a while..."
[23:51] jawsomebob: "I am kind of hungry but the force is helping me"
[23:51] Danimal 924: "Yes, it can help you with that. But theres more you need to be prepared for."
[23:52] jawsomebob: rage gets frustruated....and actually starts to get angry....
[23:52] jawsomebob: "Would you please just give a direct...." he stops himself... "I am sorry...its just..."
[23:52] Danimal 924: "Be mindfull of your anger."
[23:53] Danimal 924: As your anger builds, you see another figure walking out of the shadows. It is a young boy.
[23:53] jawsomebob: I say "hello there"
[23:54] Danimal 924: The boy looks up at you and walks closer, his hand in his robe. "Hello"
[23:54] jawsomebob: "whats your name?"
[23:55] Danimal 924: The boy looks scared and looks down, he mumbles so softly you can't hear or understand him.
Jolie: "Be mindfull of your anger. Do not let it build."
[23:56] jawsomebob: "are you lost? Come with me ill help you out of here..."
[23:57] Danimal 924: "I'm looking for my parents. I saw someone take them out of the house down in the forest while I was climbing a tree. They brought them to this cave....Have you seen my mommy and daddy?"
[23:57] Danimal 924: The boy is no older then 5 years old.
[23:58] jawsomebob: "no but stick with me...and maybe we will..." I lead the boy towards the other part of the cave. "Jolie...you can join us if you want..."
[23:59] Danimal 924: "No, I can't leave here. They were in the cave. I followed the man in the black suit into here. I followed the blood."
[23:59] jawsomebob: thats gonna have to be a good stopping point
[00:00] jawsomebob: ((im soo confused))
[00:00] jawsomebob: but i gtg at the moment
[00:00] Danimal 924: ok. It was bout to get good too. lo
[00:00] jawsomebob: ok a little more then
[00:00] jawsomebob: i still gotta enter my time anyways
[00:00] Danimal 924: lol
[00:00] jawsomebob: "blood...where?"
[00:01] Danimal 924: Boy: "It was everywhere....I think he hurt my mommy and daddy....Please, it lead me into this room."
[00:01] jawsomebob: What is Jolie wearing?
[00:02] Danimal 924: Hes wearing a Jedi robe. hes still sitting at the same spot
[00:03] jawsomebob: "There is no one else here but me...and maybe you and the jedi over there"
[00:03] Danimal 924: Boy: "What jedi?"
[00:04] jawsomebob: "this place is odd...it is very possible that you I or anyone else you see might not really be here.."
[00:05] Danimal 924: Boy: "I just want my parents....I don't want to be an orphan. What would people think if they heard the name Sabastian Jones....They would think of the boy whos parents were murdered and taken before him.....I would be forever laughed at."
[00:06] Danimal 924: The boy sits down next to you and starts to cry hard. He puts his head against you as he cries.
[00:06] jawsomebob: "It will hard for you...Sabastian I know....I wish i could tell you not to give into the fear...but I already know what happens..."
[00:06] jawsomebob: "But eventually....you will rise to become something great..."
[00:07] jawsomebob: "And will be there for me...and many others at a moment we need you most..."
[00:07] jawsomebob: "if it changes anything...you will not always be alone"
[00:08] Danimal 924: At that moment a man in a black uniform and armor walks up, he grabs the boy by the collar of his shirt and picks him up. "My master awaits your presence. He is not happy for the problems your family has caused."
[00:08] jawsomebob: I yell "do what you must to surivive...its your destiny..."
[00:09] Danimal 924: Jolie: "Destinys can change. It is the will of the force that drives us."
The boy screams as the man in armor carries him away.
[00:09] jawsomebob: I run after them the last minute...
[00:09] Danimal 924: The boy and the man disappear
[00:10] jawsomebob: "Is that how he became a sith?"
[00:10] Danimal 924: Jolie: "That is one thing I can not tell. I have seen many destiny's come forth in my time lingering here."
[00:12] jawsomebob: hmm..
[00:12] Danimal 924: So this is a good stopping point.
[00:12] jawsomebob: ok
[00:12] Danimal 924: you want to go ahead and post it. and you can think how you want to respond
[00:13] jawsomebob: ok

[Bob]

Rage: " I will come find you again...I am going to search elsewhere now..."

*Moves on to the other portions of the cave*

[dan]

Jolie: "That's fine. But are you sure you want to stop what your doing?"

You look down and see you are partway through assembling your lightsaber.

[Bob]

Rage: (hand to forehead) "by golly...it's halfway done!

I dont even remember doing this!

Wow!"

Rage looks at his saber...the design is very interesting....

(I will post it's features later)

Rage: "I built this much already alright...amazing. Jolie...what should I do now?"

[dan]

Jolie: "The best thing I can recomend is not to think about it. Sometimes when you concentrate too hard on a task, you can ruin it. It all depends on the task."

[Bob]

Rage: "I dont even know if I am really in this part of the cave...a part of me feels like i never left the fire once I found it. "

Either way...Rage continues to just be whatever he is now and here.

He walks when he feels like walking, sits when he feels like sits and just lets his mind roam. He forgets his name...what he is doing here...and then relearns it though visions from a prospective he never saw before.

Images of his life come forward and his destiny become illumated in the glow....

What feels like weeks pass in what could be a moment...

[dan]

Before you get up to leave the part of the cavfes you are in, you hear the sounds of crying and footsteps coming towards you around the corner.

[Bob]

Hide and see who is comming

[dan]

So you try to hide in an open room.

A little boy comes running around the corner and runs into you. He is crying.

[Bob]

[21:29] Danimal 924: so what is rage going to do about the boy that just ran into him?
[21:30] jawsomebob: Do i recognize him. Is it Sabby again?
[21:30] Danimal 924: not sabby.
[21:31] Danimal 924: Its a small human boy, under the age of 12, his face is dirty with streaks from tears.hes wearing a blood stained shirt, pants and a torn blue cloak that has gold trim
[21:31] jawsomebob: "hello boy whats your name?"
[21:32] Danimal 924: The boy just looks up at you, tears rolling down his face. He just holds onto you.
[21:33] jawsomebob: "what happened? Why is their blood on your shirt?"
[21:34] Danimal 924: the boy studers and the tears keep falling, "Its my....my...parents...they were killed by those beasts outside.."
[21:35] jawsomebob: "What beasts what do they look like?"
[21:35] Danimal 924: he discribes the beasts that you, rory and sabby walked past
[21:37] jawsomebob: ((when was this?))
[21:38] jawsomebob: ((which beasts?))
[21:38] Danimal 924: ((when you were too busy playing with yourself on darkfall.))
[21:39] jawsomebob: ((ok well what are they from what i know IC))
[21:39] Danimal 924: ((Huge ass beasts, i put a link in the rp when we were entering the cave. don't make me find it again ;-))
[21:40] Danimal 924: Gorgodons is their name
[21:40] jawsomebob: ok...
[21:40] jawsomebob: Rage: "take me to the beasts"
[21:40] Danimal 924: go to wookiee pedia
[21:43] Danimal 924: I dont know the way...i've been in here for a long time
[21:43] jawsomebob: Rage: "come with me" heads towards the exit.
[21:44] Danimal 924: he will walk with you, very slowly
[21:45] jawsomebob: "Jolie...ill be back" (draws pistol assuming his original light-saber is still "broken" )
[21:46] Danimal 924: The boy looks up at you "Who's Jolie?" He keeps walking with you
[21:46] jawsomebob: "Probably just my imagnary friend" Rage Responds...he keeps heading towards the exit.
[21:46] Danimal 924: Jolie "Thats fine"
[21:47] Danimal 924: has left the chat
[21:47] Danimal 924: has joined the chat
[21:47] jawsomebob: ill post it dont worry
[21:47] jawsomebob: anyways
[21:48] jawsomebob: he keeps making his way towards the next area keeping the boy close
[21:48] Danimal 924: You get to the cave entrance and find sabby medatating. he doesn't see you come up
[21:48] jawsomebob: "master can you see this boy?"
[21:48] Danimal 924: Sabby just nods, "Of course I see the boy."
[21:50] jawsomebob: "He says he needs help but i think it will involve me leaving the caves and I haven't finished my saber yet...as far as i can tell at least"
[21:50] Danimal 924: "Well, did you ask him what he needed help with?"
[21:51] jawsomebob: "Boy what do you need from us?"
[21:52] Danimal 924: The boy looks at the sleeping Gorgodons, and starts to cry more, he runs into the cave.
[21:52] jawsomebob: Runs after the boy
[21:52] Danimal 924: The boy seems to have found his way back to where you were when he ran into you, hes curled up on the floor crying.
[21:53] jawsomebob: Rage: "what can i do to help you?"
[21:53] Danimal 924: "I wanna go home....I have no where to go...my mommy and daddy are dead....those things...ate them...they saved me and sent me into this cave..."
[21:54] jawsomebob: pats the boys head in a reasurring manner "help me build my saber and we can leave here together"
[21:54] Danimal 924: "Whats a saber?"
[21:54] jawsomebob: "A weapon of great eligance and power...Jedi's use them...I am training to be a knight..."
[21:55] Danimal 924: "Is it like that thing?" He points to the one hanging on your belt
[21:55] jawsomebob: *looks down" what do i see
[21:57] jawsomebob: ((is it my original saber or a new one))
[21:57] Danimal 924: ((org))
[21:58] jawsomebob: Rage: "Yes...except the one I build here will be slightly more powerfulI didnt know I still had this one with me" *examines it* ((is it still broken?))
[22:00] jawsomebob: Rage: *pulls out his saber construct* "This is the new one I am working on...see?"
[22:00] Danimal 924: ((one sec)
[22:01] Danimal 924: "My daddy had one of those." The boy looks at it as he tilts his head some
[22:02] Danimal 924: ((no its not broken, its fine))
[22:02] jawsomebob: ((interesting))
[22:03] jawsomebob: Rage: "who is your father?"
[22:03] Danimal 924: "Daddy...he was gonna bring me here to learn stuff."
[22:04] jawsomebob: "Does he have a name? How long have you been in here? have you seen any Cryistals..I need one for this Saber..."
[22:04] Danimal 924: "I only called him daddy ever. I've been in here...at least a month."
[22:04] jawsomebob: Rage: "How did you survive?"
[22:05] Danimal 924: "I had some stuff in my pack...i'm almost out though...That and the old man he talks to me. hes kept me company and watching over me."
[22:06] jawsomebob: "Jolie..."
[22:07] Danimal 924: "I don't know his name. I haven't talked to him...he just stands near me...watching over me."
[22:07] jawsomebob: "Thats his name...as far as I know.."
[22:08] Danimal 924: "Oh. I haven't seen him in a few days."
[22:10] Danimal 924: "How long have you been here?"
[22:10] jawsomebob: "I'm not sure..only feels like a day or less"
[22:10] Danimal 924: ((actually it feels about like an hour since you woke up))
[22:11] Danimal 924: Boy: "The only way I've been able to keep track is" He opens his cloak and you see some marks on the inside of his cloak.
[22:15] jawsomebob: "I hope im not in here very much longer..."
[22:15] jawsomebob: "have you ever seen me before now?"
[22:15] Danimal 924: "I saw you when you were sleeping..."
[22:15] jawsomebob: "How long was that for?"
[22:16] Danimal 924: 3 days
[22:16] jawsomebob: "I see..."
[22:17] jawsomebob: "I need to finish this but after that I am going to get you out of here safe" Goes to the best spot to work on his saber.
[22:17] jawsomebob: Starts working
[22:19] jawsomebob: ((yeah im trying to figure out what i need to do here))
[22:19] jawsomebob: ((im kind of puzzled))
[22:19] Danimal 924: ((lol))
[22:19] Danimal 924: your about 3/4 of the way done
[22:20] jawsomebob: Rage: "have you seen any stones I can use for this young man?"
[22:22] Danimal 924: "You need more then the ones in there already?"
[22:22] jawsomebob: Rage looks at his saber..."did I put them in?"
[22:23] Danimal 924: "I didn't"
[22:25] jawsomebob: "whoa...translike"
[22:26] jawsomebob: "I guess thats just how these things are done...I must of done it though"
[22:26] jawsomebob: "I wonder if it works"
[22:26] jawsomebob: *looks at it how done does it look?*
[22:26] Danimal 924: You keep working for what seems like minutes.

[22:28] Danimal 924: you make it. barely. it turns on.
[22:29] jawsomebob: Any problems with it?
[22:30] Danimal 924: not that you can see
[22:31] jawsomebob: "Time to get out of this cave, come with me..." Rage wonders if the boy is real or not but it doesnt matter...if the boy never vanishes then he will help him. "Jolie thanks for your help...I promise I wont let you down"
[22:32] jawsomebob: *saber off and put on the other side of his belt as his org*
[22:33] Danimal 924: 1 sec
[22:34] Danimal 924: The boy walks out with you. Where do you head for?

[Bob]

[22:35] jawsomebob: Sabby. I tell the boy not to run and that I will use my jedi weapon if monsters show up. I go to Sabby and say. "Just how long have you been waiting here"
[22:35] jawsomebob: "And did we speak two times before?"
[22:36] Deep Thund: has joined the chat
[22:36] Deep Thund: has left the chat
[22:36] Danimal 924: Sabby: "You were out here bout a day ago. and about a week and a half ago you were here too."
[22:37] jawsomebob: "You have been meditating here for a week and a half?"
[22:37] Danimal 924: On and off, I've come in to check on you from time to time."
[22:37] jawsomebob: "It only felt like a few hours for me"
[22:37] Danimal 924: "that is part of how the cave is."
[22:38] jawsomebob: *holds up a saber he built and turns it on* "But you wouldnt belive who I met inside...by the way can you still see a boy here?"
[22:39] Danimal 924: Sabby: "Yes I can still see the boy. Did you ever take the time to find out his name? Or are you just calling him boy this whole time?"
[22:39] jawsomebob: "he never gave his name. I asked but he kept crying...I thought he was an illusion..."
[22:40] jawsomebob: "Speaking of Illuions your sith self killed my master again and also Rory...then choaked me"
[22:41] jawsomebob: "and a old Jedi named Jolie was in there..."
[22:41] jawsomebob: "I also met you as a Boy I think.."
[22:41] Danimal 924: Boy: "My name is Justin" (1 sec for more)
[22:43] jawsomebob: post it..i gotta go

[dan]

Justin looks from Rage to Sabby. the boy walks up to Sabby and sits down. "He kept seeing things?"

Sabby looks at Justin nods. "Yes, it is one thing the cave can do to someone who lacks focus. I'm supprised you didn't see things also."
