"All hands, prepare to abandon ship! Abandon ship!"

[clonekiller]

Characters: Starkiller, Peridot, and possibly YOU!
Date: 2/23/16, in the evening
Location: In the sky above Tu Vishan, and in city, wherever Starkiller lands.
Situation: A rogue Jedi falls out of the sky, falls on someone. Hijinks ensue.
Warnings/Rating: PG-13-ish? Starkiller doesn't swear, but he is very violent and angry.

He had to admit it, crashing the Salvation into Timira City's shield generator had been a half-baked plan at best, but the explosion that ensued as the ship crashed into the city gave Starkiller confidence that things were going to work out. That is...until he stopped feeling the sting of Kamino's perpetual rain storm, and instead felt the chill of winter air, stinging his exposed ears as he fell. The landscape hand changed, and so had...something else. He couldn't orient himself right. The familiar feeling of the Force in the back of his mind felt...not gone, but strangely muted. He was in a genuine uncontrolled freefall, and had no way to stop himself. Acting on pure instinct, Starkiller stowed his lightsabers, and spread his arms and legs out to try and slow his descent, until he could grab something to try and break his fall. He might have laughed at himself, were his life not on the line, as he looked fairly comical, flailing his limbs to try and slow the otherwise critical speed at which he was falling. As he came nearer to the surface of...whatever creature it was that the city rested upon, Starkiller grabbed at any surface he could to slow himself, sending himself in a tumblr that threw him against buildings, flags, and any broad, flat surface he could grab. When he finally nears the ground, he sees a strange green spot, almost like a diamond, underneath of him. It didn't look human, so he didn't feel bad about genuinely aiming for it to break his fall.

Peridot was minding her own business - for once! - walking through the street, when she heard...something. The flap of fabric in the wind, perhaps. In a cartoon it might have been a long whistle.

She looked up, and barely had enough time to yelp as a person collided with her, and she poofed into a cloud of green smoke. Her gem clattered on the paving stones, the soul gem on its chain falling separately.

Starkiller had so little time to register where he was, or what he was falling on, that he'd never even considered that it might be a person...or that the person in question would explode into a cloud of green smoke upon him landing. Instead, he simply laid where he was, groaning and coughing and struggling to get his wind back.

"Ugh...Kota? General Kota, are you there? Are the shields down?"

As deaf to the Force as he was, Starkiller could tell that he wasn't on Kamino any more. He honestly...had no idea where he was. It reminded him vaguely of some of the darker alleys on Coruscant, but how he would have gotten to Coruscant from the Outer Rim in a few seconds, he couldn't guess. Instead, he simply sits up, eyeing the large green gemstone, and the smaller one on a chain nearby. It makes Starkiller aware that there's now a chain around his own neck with what looked like...was that a blue Ilum crystal? He picks up both green gems, keeping the larger one in his hand, while the other he stowed in a pocket, until he could figure out what it was.

Luckily for Peridot...sort of...she's getting used to this.

The green gem in Starkiller's hand begins to glow and hover, and limbs and a head and body sprout out of it composed of light, before eventually revealing a very cross dorito.

"What in the name of the Great Diamond Authority is your problem?" She screeches at him, and casts about for her soul gem.

Ahh yes, the great Sith Assassin Starkiller, defeated by a tiny, angry dorito child.

Starkiller's eyes widen as the Gem takes on a life of it's own, regenerating into the angry green dorito that now stands before him. He hastily pulls the smaller gem out of his pocket, offering it to the small green...thing?

"I'm sorry, I think this is yours?"

So shocked is Starkiller that he doesn't even really have time to be angry, or to get defensive. He'd clearly done something wrong, both landing on this...person? as well as taking what was clearly something important to them.

"I didn't mean to land on you. I was...I was coming in too fast, couldn't use the Force to stop myself."

Then he pauses, finally registering what she said.

"Who's the Great Diamond Authority? Is that like the Galactic Empire?"

[peridiot]

Peridot ignores the necklace he's holding out and continues to yell at him.

"The Great Diamond Authority is bigger and stronger than any puny Galactic Empire!"
