*Xi-Qun shrugs* Xi-Qun: My master on Shao always told me that there is a chance, no matter how small, that a good thing will happen, But that there is a bigger chance that it will turn sour, just as a lemon or other fruit will spoil, and it will not turn out well. That it is the nature of the Universe... *He chuckles*…
*Xi-Qun nods* Xi-Qun: Even in the most primitive cultures, the inhabitants knew death was a horrible thing. They feared, respected it, and yet they still forced upon people. They murdered, stole, fought, and destroyed their fellow races. And still it happens today. It is a sad thing that even the cultures that call…
Xi-Qun: You feel the souls of the lost, perhaps? *He's leaning on a wall, looking at the Preserver with a raised eyebrow* OOC: Hope you don't mind, I'm really bored and wanted to do something with him. Since Loki and Tara Origin seem to be suspended in a time warp... Oh, and sorry for the non-quote.
*After having several, somewhat long-winded conversations with friends and aquaintances, Xi-Qun finally makes it to Ten Foward. He sits down at the bar.* Xi-Qun: Hello John. John: Oh, Xi! How are you? Xi-Qun: Well, thank you. You? *John smiles* John: As well as one can on a ship at war. What'll ya have? You know I can't…
*Xi-Qun walks out of the gym, noticing that Tara A and the others are gone.* Xi-Qun: Hmm, must had a job to do... *He makes his way to Ten Foward* *As he leaves, a security tema enters the gym, to check up on the camera.*
OOC: Oh. Thats easy then. Hell, a great example of that is the Pequininos from Speaker for the Dead. Little aliean whos reproductive cycle was messed up by a virus, also biological. Meaning that the males are only fertile when they are brutally killed and turned into trees by some natural process.
OOC: Okay, Innovator seems to match the idea better then. Aslo, since niether I nor Xi know what exactly possibility is, could you explain that? I currently think of it as the 'The future is not set because of free will' definition.
OOC: The mutation changed something in their DNA or whatever that focused the new-type energy toward the energies within them. Instead of telekinesis, or telepathy, they developed energy manipulation, somewhat like magic in Old Earth, but less fire and lighting and more, I don't know, auraic or something... Also, what are…
OOC: Perhaps a new kind of New-Type (God, thats somewhat confusing)? Someone that can control the basic energies of the body, and the pollutants, and expel them (in the case of pollutants), or use them to make himself stonger, faster, etc. etc. (In the case of energies)? And, perhaps, this new kind of New-Type was somewhat…
OOC: Well, we have no idea where Shao is technically, so that could be the Chi origin. Or something. New-type thing could work, though I could use some details on what exactly that means...
OOC: Er, again, I was slow. But it's somewhat okay right? Say, when the Sash conversation between Tara A, Ebre, Sasha happens, thats outside the gym? And Xi-Qun somewhat sneaked past, or none of them noticed each other?
OOC: Thanks. *He starts toward the gym, coming out of the turbolift. On his way there, he notices Tara A and two others, and currently talking about 'Possibility'* Xi-Qun: Who in their right mind would doubt possibility? *When he reaches the gym door, he notices the sign-in sheet, which seems to have been vandalized.*…
OOC: Hmm, I was somewhat planning a conflict with the Tal'Shiar, to take them out of the picture for good. Buut, I did just make Baroan Director of Republic Intelligence. Perhaps an espionage story, with Baroan pulling the strings instead of on the front line... A new character for the main agent/assassin that will kill…
*Xi-Qun cracks his fingers in front of the helm, glad to be back at work. IT was days after his entrance into the holodeck adn diagnosis.* Xi-Qun, muttering: Right baby, let's put you through your paces... *He sets the course and activates maximum warp, having been giving the order for 'best possible speed' and taking full…
*Xi-Qun is in the medical bay, getting looked at for alcohol poisoning. His aura cleaning wasn't strong enough to get rid of all of it.* Xi-Qun, muttering: God, I feel like sh**. Doctor: Well, don't drink like that anymore. Or do you feel a, um, need to drink like that? *Xi-Qun looks at the doctor with a steely gaze*…
*Xi-Qun is now obviously drunk up to his eyeballs. He seems to be on of those people that gets mournful when drunk, like war veterans that spent most of the war drunk and it brings back memories. He seems distant and sad as he looks at the glass of water in his hand* Xi-Qun, mournful and singing: Hǎo yī duo m
*Xi-Qun, who had gone to shower earlier, walks out of the locker room. He notices the two.* Xi-Qun, muttering: Hmm, interesting auras, those two... *He sees Gillian andTara A, bows goodbye, and leaves. He makes his way to Ten Foward. The atmosphere is depressing. Everyone is sad that Terry is gone. He goes to the bar and…
*He lets go of the leg, and straightens up.* Xi-Qun: You want to go again, or move the bags? Overall, the footwork is pretty good. You just don't expect the opponent to go for a finishing blow first. And the guard drop is something to work on...
*He blocks the jabs easily, then moves slightly to the side, grabing the Achilles tendon with his left hand, moving the leg down, and bringing in his right elbow above the knee, stopping just before it touches.* Xi-Qun: Leg broken. Also, you let your guard down again. I could have moved to the opposite side, got in close,…
*He closes his eyes and flows into a basic stance. He puts his right foot behind his left, his right knee almost straight but loose, and his foot sideways. His left leg is in front, bent also, his foot straight. His hands are open, left above his roght but both not much above his chest, and his elbows are somewhat tucked…
Loki: It was weird, right? It kinda felt like you or me, but... not. just different... strange. *He gets somewhat of a far away look, then snaps back* Loki: We should get back to the search...
*He shrugs* Xi-Qun: You throw some punches at me, maybe a few kicks. Move like it was a real fight, but I'll just be blocking, then taking advantage of mistakes I see. I'm not going to hurt you or anything, just point them out. *He smiles* Xi-Qun: If you can get throught my guard, I might teach you something interesting.…
