Masters's Quarters - Crew Quarters A

While these introductions are in motion, Charlie looks over the new arrival evaluatingly, as if trying to see something unseen in Bevik's appearance, a flicker of sharp alertness appearing in the Master's gaze. He gives only a sidelong glance to Knight Kaapel, acknowledging her presence with a short nod, but then his focus snaps straight back towards the newcomer. West's eyes narrow at the mention of Padawan Malviis's task, a slight frown settling on his face - but when Bevik's attention shifts to Charlie, he offers his name with a small wave of his hand and a wide smile: "I'm Master Charlie West. Welcome to the ship, Padawan Malviis."

"How is it going with you charlie?"

"Now these are some awfully vague and notably unpleasant news," Charlie scratches his beard in thought, but despite his words, the Master looks almost joyous. Whatever he expected the message to be, it appears it was something different from what it is. Smiling again, he addresses Bevik: "Thank you for delivering this message, Padawan Malviis, your Master's warning will be taken to heart." He tilts his head a little, as if wishing to look at the Padawan at a different angle. "Were you tasked to return to your Master, or will you be joining us on the journey?

While waiting for an answer, West moves close to Steef, half-audibly whispering to his friend: "Have you seen any other Masters? We're ought to let them know about it, but if anyone else is coming for a movie, we won't need look for them."

"some of the padawans are coming but i don't know about the masters

"Interesting," Knight Kaine says as he enters the lounge assigned to the Masters. I'm afraid I'm not as well versed in the history of Arkania as it appears I should be. I know there was a Sith presence there long ago but nothing that wasn't in the briefings."

The giant of a man frowns as he contemplates the new arrival's words. "Did you master say anything about the nature of this 'threat'?"

"Nothing is ever "cleansed" of darkness, Padawan Malviis," West crosses his hands on his chest, looking at Bevik with interest. "The darkness is an essential part of nature, it's ever-present. The question is whether you are able to sense if you step just a bit too far towards it." He shrugs, and then quietly adds. "The ones who did are the ones who can be cleansed, not the darkness itself. I do hope you realize the distinction."
He then brightens up, quickly changing the topic: "But metaphysical discussions are for the later!" West turns towards Merrick. "We were planning the movie time with Steef here, and the Padawans are going to be joining us here. We can use it as an opportunity to inform everyone about the potential threat as well. I'll go and find the other Masters, if you'd like to wait here?" He nods to Kaine in greeting.

"I'm not questioning your Master's words, or your understanding of the situation," Charlie chuckles as his gaze once again returns to Bevik. "I'm merely questioning the choice of words. But in any case, whatever this source of darkness is, it's of little use to discuss it right now." He sighs. "I'll go grab the movie, Steef. Plus, I still smell like vanilla, I need to do something about it..." And with that, mumbling about snack cakes and cargo containers, West leaves the conversation.

"vanilla yummy"

(Charlie sends a dubious look Steef's way after hearing this comment.)

"what i love vanilla charlie"

With a handful of holodisks in cases of various designes, Charlie returns to the room - no longer smelling like vanilla and having left his Jedi robes behind, opting to stay in his usual attire of black jacket and matching trousers. His axe Sea Monster is nowhere to be seen as well, but the throwing axes are still on the belt, the Master either too wary to be weaponless or just not bothering to remove them.

Charlie quickly takes a look around the room, confirming that everyone is still here and no new crises arose while he was filing a report about his collision with a crate of "equipment". Satisfied with the result of said observation, he makes his way to one of the couches, dropping down, with disks in his lap. "Now, here is what I've got, state your preferences!" West points at the movie cases one by one. "I have a number of action films - primary with lots of melee combat, - and some documentaries on weaponry and marine wildlife, but I doubt everyone present will be up for this. Then, there is "Starbird", an old time classical drama, and "On The Hydian Way", an adventure epic. Then a random romantic comedy "Panic in the Jedi Order" - I have a lot of questions about this one, I think someone gifted it to me as a joke."

Charlie moves the disks and then waves to Steef. "As for horror, I found three - although I'm not sure if "Rancor Hollow" is a bilogical documentary or horror, since they didn't list it as either. The cover looks creepy enough," he offers his friend the movie for inspection. "The other one is about a fictional space monster, and the third is about a virus destroying a research facility on a mostly desolate planet."

After stating all that, Charlie stretches and leans back, relaxed. His eyes stray to Ian and Alyx, and the Master grins. "Hey there! Padawan Maxwell, I presume? Impressive show back at the port."
