DK-Verse, Coruscant: Why Jedi Shouldn't Play With Black Boxes

[sadri.livejournal.com]

"You'd think I'd have learned my lesson," Sadri said with a groan, holding the black box tightly in her hand. Sal had warned her to never push the red button, and Sadri, being herself, had promptly... pushed the red button.

And now she was here in a very familiar city.

Oh my goodness...

It was Coruscant.

She looked around the familiar vista and tried to calm the hammering of her heart as she cursed the black box and her own curiosity.

"Interesting," observed a voice from the shadows of an airshaft cover. "One who wears lightsabers yet doesn't belong to the Council. And who appears abruptly from no where. Who are you?"

She looked up, following the sound of the voice. "Sadri Oboa," she says with a vaguely alarmed expression. There is nothing in the force save a strange yet all-too-familiar glow. "The last time I was here I was slated to be put on the Council..."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

"There was never a Sadri Oboa in the Temple."

[sadri.livejournal.com]

She groaned. This was one of those things. Staring down at the black box, she mutters. "This thing didn't send me home like I thought. Though that's probably a good thing since I'm kind of wanted for dead there."

"Why?" The voice was slightly louder, and if she looked up she would see the leather-clad woman it belonged to crouching on the edge of the shaft.

"In my reality," Sadri said, "the Jedi are wanted as enemies of the state."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

"Your reality?" Slit-pupiled green eyes narrowed slightly as the woman pushed her red hair back behind one pointed ear.

"Well, I'm definitely not from here," she said, "but my homeworld was Coruscant, and I was a Jedi Master there."

She sighed. "This is Coruscant, right?"

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

"It is," she replied, then said the date.

[sadri.livejournal.com]

"That's so strange," Sadri said. "I was living in the Temple then; but for me that time's come and gone for me..."

She was very confused.

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

"Yet you do not know my face." The woman in black cocked her head. "What was that you were saying about realities?"

[sadri.livejournal.com]

"I come from another one, apparently. It wouldn't be the first time I've travelled between them, either."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

She pondered this for a few minutes, testing the air that flowed from the newcomer to herself.

Then she hopped down from her perch and straightened. "I wonder why my Master brought you."

[sadri.livejournal.com]

"He has a way of doing that," Sadri remarked lightly, feeling a little comforted at hearing such familiar words. "And I think I brought it on myself with this device." She showed the woman the box, then shoved it in her jacket pockt.

The redhead walked around her, listening to what her Master had to say and testing the other woman's scent. Up close the details of her backless, long-sleeved catsuit and long boots were apparent, as were the catlike pupils in her eyes and her stubby fingers.

Finally she stopped and nodded. "Well welcome to Coruscant. I'm Pru Dace."

[sadri.livejournal.com]

A vivacious smile, and her green eyes glinted in the low light. "Sadri Oboa."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

"Yes." She smiled in return. "You mentioned that, Knight Oboa."

[sadri.livejournal.com]

Sadri put a hand to her head. "Sorry," she muttered. "It's been rather eventful for me lately..." And she smirked at the lapse in title. "Although if you want to be precise, it is Master Oboa. But I haven't used that title for awhile..."

Another smile. "Is the Jedi Temple where it's always been?" She checked herself. "Of course, how would you know... is there even a Jedi Temple here?"

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

"I call only one being Master." The smile remained. "And I know the Temple well. I grew up there."

[sadri.livejournal.com]

"Ah." She frowned suddenly, not sure if she wanted to have her memory jarred so thoroughly.

It rendered her silent for a few minutes, then she looked up. "I'm just trying to decide if I want to go there."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

Pru turned and looked in the direction of the temple, then cocked an ear as a roar echoed very faintly up the shaft.

[sadri.livejournal.com]

She really didn't want to look where Pru was looking.

"I... I can't do this," she said stiffly. "I just can't."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

A contented cat yawn. "Why don't we go and have an ale?"

[sadri.livejournal.com]

Now that was something Sadri could agree to. "Sure."

[random-w00t.livejournal.com]

Pru chuckled. "Do you feel like going there on foot?"
