(7:32:01 PM) You have just entered room "Vegeta Palace."
kalaxda1st (7:37:54 PM): /a yawns, opening his eyes as he sits up in one of the guest beds in the Vegeta Palace
kalaxda1st (7:38:18 PM): /a rubs his sleepy eyes to clear the fuzz away, blinking aftwerwards until his vision smoothened itself out
kalaxda1st (7:39:39 PM): /a looks around in the room he's in, before flopping back onto the bed
kalaxda1st (7:41:32 PM): /a looks up at the ceiling, studying it in silence as he broods through various thoughts
kalaxda1st (7:42:05 PM): /a in the midst of doing this, he realizes just how often he finds himself drifting off into thought and speculation, theory and wonder... and he recalls that today is the day
kalaxda1st (7:44:24 PM): /a he jumped out of the bed, proceeding to land easily on his feet (he was a man who had practice doing acrobatics and aeronautics, this was mere child's play)
kalaxda1st (7:48:28 PM): /a running both hands through his long, shoulder-length hair, shaking it to rid it of the night's dirtiness, he looked around for the rest of his clothes - beyond the shorts he always wore
kalaxda1st (7:48:50 PM): /a after throwing on his shirt and pants, he pushed open the door and headed down the long, empty hallway
kalaxda1st (7:49:11 PM): /a after spending so much time here, he hated the echoes of this empty place, where almost no soul dwelled anymore
kalaxda1st (7:51:28 PM): /a but he knew what he had to do today
kalaxda1st (7:51:37 PM): "Time to find Silen. Time to get this over with..."
kalaxda1st (7:51:53 PM): /a it was now that he had to start facing his own past, not the pasts of othrs
kalaxda1st (8:08:24 PM): /a he headed for the docking bay of Vegeta, and there beheld his own spaceship, large and fit with its own gravity room
kalaxda1st (8:08:41 PM): /a he still had a reasonable amount of supplies located there, surprisingly
kalaxda1st (5:35:36 PM): /a after reaching his ship, he walked briskly up the open rampway into the main room
kalaxda1st (5:37:55 PM): /a looking around, he wrinkled his nose at the dull smell of metal and dust mingled
kalaxda1st (5:38:15 PM): /a continuing inside, he walked to the main control panel
kalaxda1st (5:38:27 PM): /a lowering his fingers down to the keyboard, he quickly entered several commands
kalaxda1st (5:39:41 PM): /a the command caused the rampway to furl in on itself, and close into the main door, shutting it
kalaxda1st (5:39:56 PM): /a the second command ignited the engines and prepped all systems for takeoff
kalaxda1st (5:40:09 PM): /a the third command gave him manual control of the liftoff
kalaxda1st (5:40:27 PM): /a after waiting a few minutes as the systems revved, he launched the ship out of the port
kalaxda1st (5:40:46 PM): "Now then, first I need to find Silen, then my time with this planet is done."
kalaxda1st (5:40:57 PM): "Then, I guess... it's home to Angelus."

(3:41:47 PM) You have just entered room "Spaceship."
kalaxda1st (3:42:32 PM): /a Kalax sighed, pressing some buttons on the ship
kalaxda1st (3:42:44 PM): *on the ship's control panel
kalaxda1st (3:42:52 PM): /a he'd already been around the planet several times looking for Silen
kalaxda1st (3:45:51 PM): /a he hadn't found him yet though, even though he'd looked hard, and waited for him to appear
kalaxda1st (3:46:59 PM): /a the other man had gone off to write his part of the story that they had been writing together, but he had not returned when he was supposed to
kalaxda1st (3:47:15 PM): /a Kalax had done what needed doing, but now it was time they left, and this was the final day he could wait for his friend
kalaxda1st (3:47:43 PM): /a there were so many things that needed doing during his lifetime; even at his age, he felt like the clock was ticking too loudly to hear anything else
kalaxda1st (3:52:31 PM): /a finally deciding what to do, he swore he would scour the planet's surface for his friend one last time, and if unable to find him, he would leave him behind to take another ship and go off on his own
