Ser-Gay Lottos:


Unus 9, 994 ARR 1200 hours (Galactic Standard)

I honestly don?t understand why my former ? note the word ?former? ? master thinks that she still has the right to come around and interrogate me. I?m a knight now for Force sakes! And its not like I was knighted yesterday ether. Bu no, she thinks she still has the right to come around and wake me up at an hour or so past dawn and blab about this and that. What?s worse is that her chatter often times flows into another dogmatic lecture. Force I hate those! Hated them even more when I was a padawan.

So she came around this morning again, banging on my door and shouting, ?Ser-Gay! Ger up! Sleeping in makes one slow!? So I forced myself out of bed and sort of half walked half stumbled to the door. When I let her in she was her usual self, fussy and pushy. ?Master Valentina, is it really necessary to make so much noise this early in the morning? There are knights and padawans all around that don?t want to wake up at such an hour,? I had told her reasonably.

?Don?t you lecture me, young man. You may not have that braid anymore but that doesn?t mean I?m going to let you shrivel up?? And on and on and on she went. I burned the padawan braid by the way. It represented a part of my life that I didn?t enjoy very much. Knighting was a blessing to me. I couldn?t simply throw the braid away though, I needed something more drastic. I needed a cleansing. Don?t get me wrong, Galine Valentina was my master and she didn?t do too bad a job with me. I?m an effective Jedi knight, after all. However so much of what I leaned I had to learn myself or through others. Well I?m alive and as much as I hate to admit it I owe that more or less to Galine. She?s the closest thing I have to a mother. I simply wish we could have had a real bond instead of that annoying humming Force strand that existed in my mind through my adolescent years.

Thankfully I was free of my impromptu meeting with Galine earlier then she would have liked because I had a meeting with the council. Not that that?s much better. Well at least they give out missions and getting one would help me avoid Galine?s pricking, prodding, and pestering.

It turns out I WAS called in for a mission assignment. An off-world mission at that. Interestingly enough it is not a solo mission. I am to go with a girl that I have seen around ? Marr-Shaa Nova. We are to go to Germy, a small planet in the Eurisian system, and negotiate a arrangement between Rushania and Ameria. Not that they are at war or anything, more like a cold war. The situation has been tense there though. Baldy ? Master Windu, I mean ? had told us, and it was making the whole Worldision sector tense and in fear of a full scale war breaking out.

My ? our ? transport leaves in a couple of hours so I should start packing. I hate packing. Yes I used the word ?hate? deal with it.

So another year and yet another mission. I am so use to solo missions that it is rather strange to realize that you are now working with a partner. Not that I mind. I like people. Ser-Gay Lottos I think his name is. I have seen him around. He seems alright and I?ve done a check up of him on the archives. Nothing that made me doubt his abilities was brought up. They say he?s one of those fiery kinds that hated his padawan days because of a master who trued to keep him in line. Well I will fi>

 

Using two different diary's for one story. I'm doing the same thing. Bravo.


Looks very promising, can't wait for another update. Please add me to your PM list.

 

Aiden_Sanic: THanks! I'm glad you like it Oh and I've added you to the list.




Ser-Gay Lottos:


Unus 10, 994 ARR 2200 hours (Galactic Standard)

Long day today. I hate space travel. Long and boring. Marr-Shaa had brought along stacks of research papers to look over. She looks like a pregnant rabbet when she?s concentrating. Her eyes are very wide and her whole figure seems to be tensed up in expectation. Like she?s expecting to find some sort of epiphany in those long boring archive papers. Sad? Some people ? beings ? just don?t know when to put the work down and go grab an ale, figuratively speaking of course. Well at least one of us will be well informed for the mission. She is the diplomat here. The council even said so. I was sent for my proficiency in Rushanian and Marr-Shaa for her diplomatic skill. Honestly, I?m just the translator for all I know. Though I?m sure the negotiations will be in Basic.

Marr-Shaa did ask me a strange question today. She was looking through her stack of papers and suddenly she looks up and asks, rather innocently too, ?Are you Rushanian, Ser-Gay??

I was rather taken aback and so I asked her why it matter.

?No reason. You just look like someone who would be. Is that why you took Rushanian?? Yes, those are her exact words. For some reason they have remained imprinted in my mind.

So I said, quite honestly mind you, that that was the reason for which I took Rushanian and was especially attentive when the planet was mentioned in culture classes. And that?s saying something since I didn?t pay attention much in class.

So then she asked me if I was a pure blood. I don?t even know what that means! This is definitely going to be one?peculiar partnership.

[i]Unus 10, 994 ARR 2300 hours (Galactic Standard)[/i]

I don?t like flying. If I am to be honest, I fear it. I?ve had two big fears in my life. One I had concurred and left behind in my padawan days. When I was a Junior Padawan I use to fear staying overnight ? or over several nights ? in the quarters when my master was sent on a mission deemed too dangerous for me. Then when I was older and had some solo missions I would be uncomfortable with the night time while during the day I would have no problems with fear as pertaining to my assignment. But I feared the night for the same inexplicable reason that I hated being at home alone overnight when I was younger. I have overcome that fear shortly before my knighting and now I only have one left ? fear of flying. I think it?s unnatural for (a) being(s) to be suspended in air or in space. And so the fear isn?t as much of flying as it is of...crashing?

Ser-Gay is an interesting fellow to say the least. Not very open but he should make an alright partner. I think he?s pure Rushanian, at least it looks like that. He looked at me like I had grown a second head when I asked him about it. See what I mean when I say he?s peculiar? What was so strange about my question?

We should arrive on Rushania in a couple of days. I?m looking forward to it I think. At least it?s not one of those boring routine missions.

Ha, I like how some of their thoughts are similar. You've created two great characters. I can't wait to see more of this Alley.

 

A very interesting take on what seems to be business as usual for the Jedi. I like it!

 

Excellent! Lottos backstory!
This is going to be a fun read.

Can't wait for more!

 

We are to go to Germy, a small planet in the Eurision system, and negotiate a arrangement between Rushania and Ameria.


They say he?s one of those fiery kinds that hated his padawan days because of a master who trued to keep him in line.

Who Lottos?!?!

I like how you're running a dual-diary for this one, ingenius Alley!
_


?No reason. You just look like someone who would be. Is that why you took Rushanian??

Yeah, that is a weird question to ask...

 

Aiden_Sanic: Thanks!

yodas_waiter: Yes, just business as usual, if it were any other two Jedi that is *smirk*

oqidaun: Hi, Master! Yup. a Lottos backstory of sorts this is I have a strange fondness for him, lol.

correllian_ale: Thanks for reading, Ale

 

Ser-Gay Lottos:


Unus 25, 994 ARR 1500 hours (Galactic Standard)

Well that didn?t go very well.

You see, Marr-Shaa and I were instructed to go to Rushania first instead of going straight to Germy. The reasons behind this, I suppose, are so that it didn?t seem like were taking sides. Rushanians are a jumpy lot I?ll tell you that straight upfront so that?s why we were supposed to go to them first. Otherwise they may think that we were plotting with the Amerians against then. These people really don?t know Jedi do they? So anyway, I was supposed to be dropped off at Rushania and Marr-Shaa would continue on to Ameria. Then we would escort our respective planetary parties to Germy. You still with me? Alright then.

So as I said?it didn?t go well. The Kriffin? poojoo?s acted like we had invaded their aerial space or something. You should have seen the star destroyers they sent after us. I TRIED to explain to them what we were doing and they though we were spies. Why in the galaxy must I be from such a retarded planet?

So they took Marr-Shaa and I captive and held us in some detention room until they could finally establish some sort of negotiation with the Senate and the Council. I think people can be really dense. Jedi are NOT after galaxy wide domination. Yea these are the things they say on the news around here.

Damn. I guess we didn?t exactly make a very good first impression did we?




[u][b]Marr-Shaa Nova: [/b] [/u]


[i]Unus 27, 994 ARR 1700 hours (Galactic Standard) [/i]

I don?t like missions that don?t go well from the start. They just really ruin the whole first impression ? for both sides.

I realize why the Rushanians were so jumpy, the situation around here is tense, but I think they would do well with some?umm?medication. It sounds harsh but they really gave me a scare. At least we were more or less decently treated.

I wish Ser-Gay would have been more understanding. He was so angry that I was afraid that he would touch the Dark Side. Of course he rejected all my concerns and told me to stay out of what was not my business. I can?t say that I didn?t take offence. Of course this concerns me. We are in this together and he is a fellow Jedi. Not to mention my partner on this mission. His sanity has a large effect on our effectiveness. He?s not a patient one ether, I?ve observed. He simply couldn?t wait calmly for the negotiations with Coruscant to begin and him winding me up was the last thing I needed.

We are finally out of our delaying little situation and I am currently on a diplomatic transport to Germy with the Amerian party. We should be arriving tomorrow. I do hope Ser-Gay has regained his inner peace. We?ll need to remain calm during these negotiations.

Those damn dirty Ruskies! Always quick to jump the gun and pull the trigger...

It's a nice way to paint the tension though.

 

correllian_ale: Do you mean Rushanians? Thanks for the review!

[blockquote]?Where did you put my ?saber??

?I didn?t touch your ?saber.?

?You?re the one who was cleaning up all around here!?

?So??

?So?I come back after meeting with the Rushanian delegation and my stuff is all?organized!?

?Well, I?m sorry if I got tired of always tripping over your things.?

?So you hid my lightsaber!?

?Stop yelling at me.?

?I?m not yelling at you!?

?Yes you are.?

??Ok, so?what?s the problem??

?You?re impossible!?

?I love you too.?[/blockquote]

Can you believe we actually do this almost every single night? I swear, this girl is gonna be the death of me.


[u][b]Marr-Shaa Nova:[/b][/u]


[i]Duo 8, 994 ARR 2342 hours (Galactic Standard)[/i]

Please someone explain to me how I ever got stuck in the same room with HIM? Isn?t there some sort of rule against housing males and females that are not married together. All our germy hosts could say was ?Well it was said in the report that we would be hosting ?a couple? of Jedi. So just figured??

Idiots.

The boy?s impossible! First he leaves all his things all over the floor and then accuses ME when something gets lost. So his dirty tunics go all over the floor while if anything of MINE is not in its correct place he totally looses it. Aren?t Jedi suppose to have GOOD self control?

Duo 33, 994 ARR 1900 hours (Galactic Standard)

These negotiations are driving me crazy! Why can?t anyone agree on anything. We acquired a new delegate today. An interesting fellow, knows his stuff. But there?s something shady about him?something that I don?t like.

Marr-Shaa likes him. I think she just thinks he?s cute. Never ever trust politicians. That?s the one thing I learned that?s for sure. Black hair, dark brown, puppy-dog eyes, tall, human, several years older then we are. Of course she likes him!

The question is?why does that bother me?


[u][b]Marr-Shaa Nova: [/b] [/u]


[i]Duo 33, 994 ARR 2233 hours (Galactic Standard) [/i]

I just finished speaking to the new member of the Rushanian delegation, Gorohov. He is a quite intelligent young man. He also promised that he would end these continuous arguments ?as soon as possible?give me a week or two and we will all be flying back home satisfied and free from all this political gibberish.?

I trust him I know Ser-Gay doesn?t but I think he?s being paranoid. Gerohov is a nice young man, very smart?funny?engaging?charming?good looking? Wait! Ok, I promise that I?m not just judging him on looks but he does have the most hypnotizing eyes.

Too bad I?m a Jedi. It?s hard to tell these kinds ?no.?

Got so board during negotiations today that I actually started day dreaming. Bad move I know, but it?s the same thing over and over again.

Anyways?got to thinking about that one time when I didn?t do my assignment for my master and I had no idea how I was going to get out of it. Finally came up with an idea to try and trick her. Asked if she would punish me for something I DIDN?T do. She should have been suspicious of course, since I always got in trouble and it was ALWAYS something I DID do. But she wasn?t for some reason ? Force only knows why ? and said ?of course not!? in that irritating way that she does. So I told her about my unfinished assignment. Ever hear of using frying pans as weapons?

Nova was out with Gorohov again. I think he?s courting her. I think I should remind her that Jedi aren?t aloud to date. I bet she?d roll her eyes at me.

Maybe I should join the Sith ? they have more fun.


[u][b]Marr-Shaa Nova: [/b] [/u]


[i]Tres 15, 994 ARR 2345 hours (Galactic Standard) [/i]

Looks like Gorohov is having more trouble with these politicians then he expected. Meh, all show offs end up like that. But I liked hearing him show off. He did it in such a cute way.

The Prime Minister of Germy is really POed because they won?t let him have a say in anything. Moron. Not everything in this galaxy is about him! Meh, I wonder if his IQ is even high enough to grasp the concept of that.

I honestly don?t know why I?m so harsh on people today I?m usually fluffy and cuddly. It must be that fast food place Gorohov and I stopped at earlier. I wasn?t hungry so I asked for Naboo fries. Guess what the girl at the counter asked? ?Do you want Noboo fries with that??

I?m starting to think droids are more competent.

The Force hates me.

Why must girls wear pink? And why must they think that guys like it when they gush? I?m a Jedi! I?m a pretty accepting, modest, patient guy?ok not really but I?m supposed to be so shhhh?.but they drive me insane!

Nova and I were invited to this ball thingie last night?I don?t know what exactly we were celebrating but they had ale and good food so I?m not complaining?and there were these girls there?dressed in PINK! Oh all the abhorring colors it had to be pink. Three of them, all in pink dresses, came over and stated circling around me like hungry felines who decided I would make a nice dinner. And the best ? and yes I?m being sarcastic ? part? They?re twins! Wait until I tell you their names: Dasha, Sasha, and Natasha. Their all some weird hybrid of blonde and brunette with blue eyes and?gah!

A While ago Coruscant Dolls Inc released a new brand of dolls ? Barbi ? and they all look alike and are suppose to be the model of the perfect ?human girl.? In reality they?re tasteless, fake, and plastic. And they wear pink! These girls ? I started calling them the Terrible Triplets ? are Barbis come alive!

They?d get all offended if I?d get their names mixed up and if I called their dresses pink. Supposedly there?s a big difference between Rose Pink, Pastel Pink, and Baby Pink.

Light Pink?there?there?s as much as I?m willing to give. It?s just a color after all! Why does it have to be so Force damn important?

I?ve never been so exhausted in my life, not even after the most grueling mission. And all I did was talked to girls. Gah?I don?t want to see the color pink ever again?

Yes, I?m whining, deal with it.

[i]Tres 22, 994 ARR 1234 hours (Galactic Standard) [/i]

I?m starting to question that rule about not having any attachments. I mean aren?t Jedi allowed to have?you know?mission flings?

Gorohov danced with me all night, yesterday. It felt strange to be in civilian clothes I must add and the black shimmersilk dress I was wearing felt way too revealing. Not to mention that I was cold.

But Gorohov kept me warm. Yes, I?m smiling like a little teenage girl whose crushing on a little teenage boy. Aww how cute?NOT! I?ve never had this problem of linking guys and having to deny myself the privileges that ordinary people have. Well there was that one time with that one knight?

Anyways?Gorohov just knows how to get to me?you know the whole ?long walks on the beach? thing. Yes, Jedi are susceptible to romantic situations apparently.

I don?t think my partner enjoyed last night very much. He was cornered by the three Rushanian bacheloretes that attended. I don?t blame him for feeling out of place. They look like something out of a cheep porno magazine. Hmm?I really though Lottos would have taken advantage of the situation. I guess not..

Ah, duty calls. Again. Maybe I?ll see Gorohov this afternoon.
