Kid???

Misery had begun to wish that she actually had a name, She didn't really like the sound of kid, she'd work with it though.

The woman didn't think she'd ever find out her real name, well, that was until Jai raised a little spark of hope within her.

ID somewhere? Ship registry? Flight liscence? Credit card?

Where had her brain been! Yes! She could find out her name now!

"Hey! I didn't really think of that, good thing you're with me," she said, smiling sheepishly again.

As if she knew where to look, the Shadow Jedi's gaze fell to her waist and onto her tool belt.

Well, she didn't actually know it was a tool belt, she just felt something there around her waist area. She brushed back part of her black robe just slightly, a look of surprise crossing her face.

"Eh, seems I have some items with me," she said as she quickly glanced back up at Jai and then back down again.

It didn't take her long to find what she was looking for, it stuck out like a sore thumb almost. Just a simple piece of paper.

Misery removed the paper from her belt, slightly crumpled up, she'd obviously had it for a while.

She scanned the paper carefully, being sure not to miss anything. Her eyes glanced the paper for a few more seconds before she stopped, frowning a bit.

"Hmm, well, I found it..."

She paused, not looking up, but somehow knowing that Jai had a questionable look on her face.

"My name, I mean, it's Sandra Ravec."

Misery placed the paper back where she had found it.

"Well, there you have it."

She didn't know it, but she'd just revealed her name for the very first time ever, to anyone. She'd always gone by the name Misery, her real name had been replaced the day her parents died in a house fire. The Shadow Jedi had felt that to drop her real name would help her to forget that day, though it never did.

"....Raktus is it?"

Misery didn't wait for an answer as she walked right past Jai and on toward Headquarters. Somehow finding that some small bit of truth had bothered her, it was clear she hadn't taken it well.

Jade uses the toe of her right black leather boot and kicks open the door to Raktus' office. She raises her left hand and wipes the blood off her cheek from the cut. She looks at him, breathing heavily.

"You...wanted....to see....me?"

She then glances around and realizes that a bloody woman who kicked open an office door might be a bad time for a meeting.

"If you wish, I can wait outside until you are ready for me."

She turns to leave without a reply, just yet.

"You know..."

He said, standing at the windows leading to the balcony, at least where the balcony had been this morning. The things up there had gotten a few ships through earlier, though they had been run off they had still managed to get a few shots off on his story of the building. It had shaken him slightly, but he would not abandon the last hope of his people. He was an avatar and the people would follow his lead, as long as he held strong, they would follow.

"..now is a most innapropriate time for headgames. Tis a grave time for Reecee, a grave time for IDTech and the last thing one needs to think of is a moment of 'bad timing'"

He turned to face her, his hands behind his back

"What have you to report?"

Misery felt rather odd walking ahead of Jai as she did not exactly know where to go after getting to the Headquarters building. She was not going to wait on Jai, though she had wanted to, her life still felt like it was in jeopardy, the building provided her safety.

Besides, she was in a rush to see this Heir Raktus. The way Misery saw it, she'd headed to the planet for some reason, and maybe this Raktus knew why.

The Shadow frowned slightly as she reached the main door to headquarters, her gaze falling to look back at Jai who had stopped to inspect something along the way.

She went on in without the smuggler, unlike Misery; Jai could take care of herself.

She hoped this Raktus person had answers.

(OOC: Who was he talking to? Jade or Misery or Jai? Jade is walking out the office, so I just wanted to make sure. Once that is straightened out, I will edit my post accordingly.)
