Shadows of Bankor

"Oh, starship learning?" One of Jiam's head tendrils wiggled differently for a moment, then settled into the familiar rhythm. "What sort of work do you do in that field, miss?"

Jiam just smiled as Floats speaks. It reminded her of what Uncle Prozlo had once said, about writing news stories for rural communities... Jiam sniffs and crinkles her nose, and two of her head tendrils quiver as she tries to fight off the memory. No, I'm not doing this right now.

Jiam nods with understanding as Ela speaks. "It can be easy to share stories when you know you have something in common. I knew by Floats' accent she's a country girl like me," Jiam said, her voice drawling a little over "country girl." She shrugged. "It felt right to talk about being a kid in the c...

Jiam tracked Floats' description of boarding schools, although the concept still made no sense to her. Ela's comment, though, completely befuddled her. Jiam's face probably looked like she'd just tasted something sour, and several of her head tendrils went still and curled slightly at the ends. "Bec...

The unsubtle gathering of waves of Stormtroopers and military hardware were an easy signal to Jiam that trouble was coming, and imperial trouble was too tempting of a target for her. She wasn't sure what all the bad guys were up to, but if there was a chance to at least pick off a couple, she'd take...

Floats visibly lights up at the stories, it seems like the sort of lifestyle she prefers. Hard maybe, but it's honest. "Aww that? I went to boarding school as a kid and none of the other kids were good at Nautolan names. Half of them were so stuck up they'd drown in a rainstorm. So you know, Nautol...

And with that she goes to sit with Jiam, after all, country folk should stick together Grumbling sounds Jiam is pleasantly surprised when the Nautolan arrives, but doesn't smile as she can see the other female is quite upset. She listens as Floats vents, but also tries to soothe her with stories of...

Jiam's eyes narrowed at the... attempted joke? But when she heard how Astin was hitting on the other female, her eyes started to blaze. Does he target the nice country girl every time? She started to speak with careful control: "I'm sorry to interject... Actually, I'm pretty happy to in this case. I...

Jiam's face hardened. "Astin," she said, with conviction--and a hint of a snarl. Oh yes, I remember now . "Hello there," she said to the Nautolan. With a tone of... country twang? "I'm Jiam Sarcav. And you should be careful around this one." She wiggled her fingers toward Astin, suggesting some disd...

One of Jiam's head tendrils slows at the mention of a shoulder wound, and for half a moment she glances at the brightly colored Nautolan. The feeling from that look is unusual, perhaps most like being sniffed.

Seeing the hint of recognition from the scruffy human, Jiam stepped close enough to address him without inserting herself into the group. Her face was still skeptical, but she suggested, "Corellia? Like... What maybe a year ago?" Her head tendrils gently waved behind her head, as though stirred by t...

On her way to the bar, Jiam overhears references to starship design and mechanics, which make a couple of head tendrils wiggle. Good thing it's me overhearing them and not one of those imperial goons . The little group who might be talking about sedition also included a vaguely familiar looking huma...

Stepping from the crowded transport, all her belongings in hand, Jiam was surprised to move directly to an inspection line overseen by what had to be an Inquisitor. She'd only heard of them talked about like monsters of legend, and until seeing one just five yards away, she would have bet they were ...

If anyone is looking for a connection from off-world in the last two years, Jiam's been working odd jobs as hired muscle with no particular homebase, so she might have run into you just about anywhere. Possible hooks: Like work of questionable legality but with a high likelihood of undermining the E...

I have arrived. It feels good to be alive.
