Andraste’s knicker - what? [a flash of blue eyes and a surprised face before it hits the ground. Fumblefumble. Datapad flicks off]

[A few minutes. Datapad flicks on!] ...I’m going to assume this isn’t some sort of small and oddly shaped projectile we-

It's a communication device.

[failedhorribly]

To communicate my imminent torture and/or death, I'm sure.

The mages do know I sided with them, don't they?

[theforestechoes]

If you saw fit to use it that way, but we have seen plenty of it without needing to add one more.

Mages?

[failedhorribly]

Surprisingly, when strange magic starts being used in my general vicinity and my dead brother is no longer dead, it rarely means well for me.

[She wriggles her fingers. This implies magic] Mages.

[theforestechoes]

It's the Force. Not... magic.

[Isolde looks slightly amused] I am assuming mages are magic users. You're not at home, so this would be why you are confused. [the amused tone drops from her voice as she glances down] You have been brought here by a man named Revan.

[failedhorribly]

You'll have to explain the difference to me. Little words, please, I went to sleep in the shell of my city and woke up here with my dead brother.

[She straightens a little] Tell him no, I'm not interested in his harem.

[theforestechoes]

The Force is in all living things. It's energy rather than... mysticism, one would say. All are part of the Force, but not all feel it.

[Isolde stares for a few seconds before laughing] No, I am sure that's not what Revan intends.

[failedhorribly]

Can the people who feel it use it to do things the people without it could only dream off?

[She looks almost disappointed] Bollocks. That, at least, I would know for certain what to do about.

How much can you tell me about what's happened here, exactly?

[theforestechoes]

And then some, depending on your power and your... affiliation.

[She bites down on her lip, a look of concentration on her face] As for the past couple of weeks, I am not quite sure. What I do know is that Revan, who calls himself the Dark Lord of the Sith, claims to be the one who has taken us into this time period. He's... been able to do quite a lot, including bringing those previously dead back to life and even give life to us again if we have died here.

Where you're at now is the planet Coruscant, the center of the Republic. The galaxy is at war, the Republic and Jedi against the Sith, though to be more accurate... It is mostly the Jedi against Revan, but the Republic will eventually gain its footing. [she speaks openly about what will happen in the future] Many will come to call this the Jedi Civil War.

[failedhorribly]

So, mages.

Well. That's not a dramatic title at all. [But she cuts off the flip comments and just...listens, face tightening with a sigh when she's done speaking]

So, what you're saying is that I've left a world on the edge of flames to...several worlds on the edge of flames? Many worlds? You do realise how completely insane this sounds, don't you?

[theforestechoes]

Yes. [Isolde smiles apologetically] But it's the truth of your situation.
