Jandalf whirled about angrily and stormed across the execution arena, using the Force to send all the watching Geonosians rocketing into the sky. She came up to Anakin, who was still drooling over Padmé, and smacked him solidly in the side of his head with her staff. "COME TO YOUR SENSES!! YOU ALREADY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER, AS DOES SHE!!"
"She stole my line," muttered Obi-Wan, dusting himself off. "Why does everyone insist on stealing my lines?"
Thoroughly peeved, Jandalf walked up to the acklay, nexu, and reek. All three of the creatures were staring dumbly at the display. She balanced herself, and smacked the nexu hard right in the snout with her staff, then began to lay into the acklay and reek. "WHERE IS MY PADAWAN?? HUH?? HUH?? TELL ME!!! WHERE IS MY PADAWAN!!??!!??"
Obi-Wan paid no attention to the display, looking into the sky. He had felt an odd sensation...a feeling of evil...like someone had ulterior motives. Problem was, he had no idea who it might be.
***
Inside the Falcon, Han rolled his eyes. "Hey, loosen up. Your Master's a Sith now, so it only makes sense Jandalf'd be attacking him. Right?"
Audreidi, in the meantime, was setting up a chess board on top of the dejarik table for a reason that no one knew except for her...

Qui-Gon huffed. "Well, I still don't want my Padawan falling in love with someone who would attack MY master... Sith or no... SITH?!!!!!?!!!!!?!!!!!?!!!!!?!!!!?!!!!?!!!!" Qui-Gon fainted, proceeding to fall on top of Audreidi's chess game, and upsetting the pieces. They went scattered all over the room... ship... room.
***
Anakin sighed, and rubbed his head. "You didn't HAVE to wack me upside the head," he muttered. "Owwww... I can't help that Padmé is so cute... sigh..." He sighed, and acted like himself. "Besides, I am no DENETHOR!" Anakin growled, as he recognized Jandalf's actions being from the Return of the King. He ignored her as she went to interrogate the monster creatures, whose names he didn't know off the top of his head. Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling in the Force... a motive beyond that of his... something evil... dark... in a manner. But he couldn't name it.
He walked over to Obi-Wan. "Master, do you feel that to?"
***
Tiana continued to huff in the courner of the cell. The cursed pirates were driving her to the point of insanity where she would've turned Dark if she could've. "Curse the lack of the Force here..." she muttered. "If I could get a decent grip on the Force, I'd blast you all to kingdom come-- and for you, that's a long ways away." She glared at the pirates who were talking with Jack... particularally the one who tried to choke him. "Where are you when I need you, master?" she asked to the air.

In the back fo the arena, an orange flash of light momentarily distracted one of the fighting monsters. It took an uncertain step towards the light, sensing an approaching lifeform.
BLAM! Through the orange door sprang a huge winged beast. Its wings were batlike and its skin was hairless and rough, yet it was no dragon. Black reins led from the beast's jagged-toothed mouth and into two slender hands. A creature was riding the fell beast. It appeared humanoid, with pointed ears and silver rimmed glasses.
"VICTORY AND TRIUM-- hey." Maeg looked around. This was not her intended destination. She was back in the battle arena. The felll beast looked at her quizically.
"I told you we should have stopped for directions," mutterd Frodo.
"Shut up," Maeg muttered back. She yanked on the reigns adn the creature flew into the air. She would not be able to open another portal for a few moments, since she needed to wait for her strength to return. Instead, she turned to the group of fighting people and monsters.
"Time for some fun, Maeg-style!" she yelled. The fell beast went into a dive, aimed for the center of the group.
"BOOOOO YAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Her battle cry echoed through the arena. Whose side was she on?

"Our side!" Jandalf yelled, somehow getting a sense that Maeggaladiel was confused on the topic. "OUR SIDE!!!" For good measure, she gave Anakin another two thwacks with her staff, laying him out in an oddly similar fashion to a scene in ROTK.
Obi-Wan huffed. "He was trying to tell me something."
She shrugged and pointed at the fell beast. "No time to discuss this as a committee. I think that's our evil."
***
Audreidi rolled her eyes, exasperated, and managed to heave Qui-Gon off the ground onto the couch, slapping him across the face several times until he woke up. "WHY DID YOU UPSET MY CHESS BOARD?? Errrrrgghh..." Annoyed, she set about putting the pieces back into place. "Crazy fainting Jedi. You see? This is why I married a smuggler."
Han grinned.

Slizabeth stepped into the room...ship...room. She paused and stroked the garter snake wrapped around her chin, surveying the scene before her.
The room...ship...room was such a jumble of cheese and chessboards and orages she could hardly decipher anything! Tried and utterly bewildered, Slizabeth and her pet garter snake Joey fled the room...ship...room.
It was clear the room...ship...room was far to dangerous and demented a place for poor Joey's health.

Audreidi looked up at the strange newcomer. "Er...want to play chess? Your snake can watch," she added. "It's strictly two-player."
Qui-Gon still lay on the floor, unconscious.

"YOUR side?" asked Maeg, clearly confused. Then she remembered. Silly Maeg. And here she was about to crush them all beneath her mighty fist like so many eggshells.
"Sorry," she called. She urged her fell beast towards the acklay, figuring it was as good a thing to start with as any. Just as the acklay was in reach of the beast's huge claws...
She pulled upwards on the reigns and lobbed a huge water balloon at the monster.
"HAH!" she yelled. "Take that!"
Yes, she was strange. And yes, she was evil. But that didn't mean she couldn't have some fun with water balloons and giant nasgul-steeds every now and then.

The acklay screeched in dismay. Yes, it LOOKED like a crab-like creature, which logically would mean it was a water-dwelling beast, but it really wasn't. Maeg's water balloon did its dastardly work, and the beast soon dissolved entirely into a heap of dust.
Jandalf stared in confused awe. "Wow. Did you see that?"
Obi-Wan didn't hear her. "I WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL THAT THING!!! YOU WANT TO PUT ME OUT OF A JOB, HERE??" he yelled up at Maeg.
Jandalf pulled him to the side. "Okay. Maybe you can clue me in here, because for the life of me I can't see why yelling at a crazed Middle-earthian who has full control of a fell beast in midair is productive to your health."
It took a moment for Obi-Wan to absorb the whole sentence. "Ah...right. TAKE OUT THE NEXU!!!" he suggested to Maeg.

Maeg stuck out her tongue at Obi-wan and pretended to throw a water balloon at him.
"Don't you dare touch Binky!" she yelled at him. "I raised her from an egg!"
"Binky" the Fell Beast panted like a happy dog and Frodo tossed her a cookie. (Not an easy task for a stupid hobbit riding in the saddle, let me tell you.) It dissappeared between rows of dagger-sharp teeth in an instant.
"OKAY, NEEK! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR MAKER!"
George Lucas? wondered the neek. It didn't have time to ponder the question further because it was suddenly covered in a strange, gooey substance...
"Nice shot, Frodo!" cried Maeg. "Oatmeal balloons away!"
Frodo cackled evilly and dumped a box of maple sugar oatmeal-filled ballons on the Neek. No one was sure why they were filled with oatmeal; no one had ever checked to see if oatmeal bothered neeks. But they ran out of water, so Maeg had to improvise.
Luckily, the neek happened to be very allergic to Oatmeal and burst into hives almost instantly.
"Huh," said Maeg. "That was a lucky coincidence."

Qui-Gon remained unconscious. As, after all, people fainted all the time in these spoofs, it was no biggy anyhow.
***
"Oooohhhhhh...." Anakin groaned, and rubbed his head. A large swelling was on the side where he had been hit by Jandalf. Something was nagging at the back of his mind, but for the life of him, he couldn't remember what it was. At the moment, the headache he had was first thought.
Where's Tiana? And Obi-Wan?
He suddenly found himself panicking, and sat up abruptly. Or, more, tried to. Dizziness was blurring his mind, but one thing was obvious. He was not sitting up.
Anakin stared down at himself lying on the ground, unconscious. He would've fainted, but the shadow form he was in prevented that from happening. Panic grabbed him, and he attempted to reach the world around him with the Force. Nothing happened.
Anakin sat down heavily, as despair took hold of his heart. What was going on...
***
Tiana, at the same time, was feeling near the same sense of hopelessness as Anakin, but in a different manner. She too was cut off from the Force, but for other reasons, and was also stuck in prision, possibly awaiting death at the hands of Norrington. She chewed her fingernails thoughtfully as she paced around the cell. Pacing was a frequent thing for her when bored-- that, and fidgeting. At this moment, though, Tiana was merely thinking for all she was worth.
There has got to be some way to get out of here...

Jandalf smacked her forehead in confusion. "I THOUGHT THIS GAME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE MATRIX, AND HERE WE ARE IN THE STAR WARS GALAXY AND ON EARTH!!!"
"Well, WE aren't on Earth," Obi-Wan pointed out. "So who is?"
Jandalf thought about this for a moment. "Uh...well...I don't know. But someone is, because the Narrator made me say it." An idea struck. "Then...IT MUST BE MY PADAWAN!!!"
Obi-Wan cringed, as Jandalf had suddenly begun to screech directly into his ear. "Ow."

((Don't matter.))
Tiana suddenly jumped up, extatic. "SHE GUESSED!!!!" she screamed into a ranom pirates ear. "THANK YOU, NARRATOR!!!!!" The Jedi Padawan had no clue how she had known that Jandalf had guessed what had happened to her, being without the Force, and all that, but somehow she knew.
Suddenly something hit her. "ANAKIN!!!!!!!"
Tiana chose that moment to faint.
Anakin paced up and down, and stared at his unconscious self. "This could get to be very annoying," he muttered, pacing more. The present narrator, when annoyed, worried, or anything else of the like, paces. Therefore that characteristic becomes a part of her characters as well.
"I have a bad feeling about this... meh." He suddenly found himself wondering whether if he quoted Jandalf exsesivally (bad spelling.......) she'd notice, get mad, and then somehow he'd reappear so that she could choke him. Or else he could attempt to spell really badly... that had gotten her to notice Faramir in another RPG, after all...
He was very annoyed, as none of the ideas he could come up with seemed to have any way they'd work.

"It's 'excessively'," muttered Jandalf.
"What?"
She looked at Obi-Wan. "Uh...I don't know. The Narrator's doing weird things again."
Obi-Wan shook his head. "Well...there's only one way I see us getting out of this."
"You mean?"
He nodded. "Yup. We'll have to go between, and then to Earth."
Jandalf's face fell. "But I've only read two of the Pern books. And I only started three days ago. I don't know that much about these dragons, really."

Post by Tiana, eh? on Sept 21, 2004 0:45:56 GMT -5
Well, it's not like you can do that TOO easily. I mean, the dragons can only stay between for five minutes, because they can't breathe between. Not to mention that you and Obi-Wan couldn't exactly hold your breath either...
Anakin stood up. "Hey, I can hear the narrator!" he proclaimed, suddenly realising that the shadow had let go of him long enough for him to be able to act in both the real world and the Shadow Realm.
Hey, did you say I was doing weird things?! Well, what do you expect...?! I mean, REALLY! I'm ALWAYS weird. *huffs* *glares at Jandalf* This narrator stuff is almost annoying... groan. Well, you could always get Shadow with her cool time travel stuff to take you back...
Anakin glanced at the narrator with a look that clearly said NO ideas! They can figure it out on their own... if they die between, well, that's their fault, because they didn't read the Pern books!
Well, FINE!
Tiana continued to pace, and really wished that she could sense the Force-- because one of those windows could really come in handy. "Well, I could attempt to kavamm something... NO!" She shook her head. "I had enough of the backfiring when Jandalf first attempted to teach me that... mutter."
Then she remembered the the last thing that she had done was faint because of something strange that had happened to Anakin. So she fainted again, but sat right back up when she remembered that she couldn't feel the Force. "Force, how did I sense Anakin then?!" She fainted again.

Maeggaladiel hopped off the back of her fell beast, listening to Jandalf and Obi-wan. This was probably a bad idea, since it left Frodo to fly the beast by himself. Oh well.
"Are you trying to go to another world?" she asked suddenly. "Because I might have an idea how to get there. You could use the same technique I used to get the fell beast here from Mordor."
"Are you sure you want to give away that kind of info?" squeaked Frodo, who was making the fell beast do loop-de-loops. Maeg ignored him.
"Have you ever read any of Garth Nix's ABHORSEN trilogy?" she asked Jandalf. "The main characters use a combination of Charter magic, that's the good magic, and Free Magic, that's the rebellious stuff, really quite nasty, to travel back and forth from the land of the dead. Usually the professionals use a set of bells to work the spell, but whistling works pretty well too. If we can get through the land of the dead, I can find an opening to the world you need to get to. It's kind of like Phillip Pullman's THE SUBTLE KNIFE, if you've read that one. This world is one of many, and by cutting open the fabric of time and space in a certain area, you can travel from one world to the next. "
She paused, considering something.
"I really don't know much about the way YOU want to try to get across, but I'm pretty sure I can get you through my way. It's up to you. But if you want to come along, be forewarned. There are things in the land of the dead that neither sleep nor rest, and they feed upon the living. So don't touch anything. I have been waiting here in this world just long enough to gather the strength to open another door. I really don't know where I should go next, so wherever you want to go works for Frodo and me. Otherwise we'll just go by ourselves."
"WEEEEEEE!" cried Frodo, making the fell beast go into a dive.

Jandalf stared for a very long moment at Maeggaladiel, and contemplated her strange offer. Okay. On one hand, she's offering you passage to Earth. On the other, you could get eaten alive. Besides, you've already read the Pern books and you know what goes on between, basically. You've Impressed your own green in your spare time. So why shouldn't you use your own way?
"Um," she said, rather confused as usual, "I'm not entirely sure, actually."
Obi-Wan frowned. "Things that feed upon the living? That doesn't sound...wonderful."

Maeg shrugged.
"It's not wonderful," she said. "Maybe you SHOULD go your own way. I know nothign about your way, so it just might be best for you. It makes no difference to me."

"Hm." Jandalf looked at Maeggaladiel closely. "I think we both need to do some more reading, yes?" Then she turned to mentally call for Carath.
Obi-Wan took out his PDA and browsed for a while. "Odd. Those books seem to be out of stock. Ah, well." He shrugged and tucked his palm pilot back into his pocket.
