Doctor in the Morning [Cole's Room] (D5 MM)

[Cole Ormont]

"Uh, is everything okay? You seem kinda distracted there." He pushes a hand through his hair.

[Ashla Vyliis]

"Everything is fine. Just trying something new." The Dark Side still calls to her.

((Give it up Dark Side. Ashla ain't taking your call.))

Heal: 1eF 1 Dark Side

[Cole Ormont]

"Not sure how comfortable I feel about you trying new things on my leg, but, I guess it's too late for that now." He leans back on his elbows and returns to watching Vera Hawke: Jedi Knight. He'd been working on his secret cosplay since someone on the True Vera Hawke Confessions forums had had the audacity to suggest that he lacked to balls to show up as Vera Hawke with Vera Hawke herself as one of the judges.

He'd spent way too much money on the costume, but he refused to be one of those cosplayers with their green makeup up rubbing off around their necks and crotches, looking all streaky under the hot stage lights. And that wig had set him back too...

[Ashla Vyliis]

"Hey, just trust me. I mean, seriously, how can you not after all the time we spent together?" Wow. Ashla said that with a straight face.

((Ashla again, refuses the Dark Side's call.))

Heal: 1eF 1 Dark Side

[Cole Ormont]

Somewhat absently, "I'd feel more confident if what you were doing seemed to be working." But he was definitely now more focused on the show.

[Ashla Vyliis]

Suddenly, Cole feels his flesh and bone reknitting itself. This should not be possible with medicine. Ashla for her part is satisified that she got it right.

((Heal 4 Wounds))

Heal: 1eF 2 Light Side

[Cole Ormont]

He pushes himself up, "shit, I think whatever you were trying just worked." Cole studies her for a moment, "that wasn't surgery or medicine, was it?"

[Ashla Vyliis]

"No. It was the Force. I actually. Used the Force. To heal." Ashla for her part didn't quite believe it.

[Cole Ormont]

"Wow, that was..." he exhales, "that was something different. But you said you were trying something new? New as in you've never used the Force to heal someone? or new that you've never healed a broken bone like that?"

[Ashla Vyliis]

"I never used the Force to heal someone before. I knew I could do it. Just took me a few tries."

[Cole Ormont]

"I impressed," he says simply, "that's a hell of a trick to have in your kit." He felt a pang of jealousy, seven years medical training and she's a better surgeon with just the Force and some experience poking around inside bodies.

[Ashla Vyliis]

"Yeah. It is. But.... I need more practice. I kept feeling the Dark Side call to me. That's dangerous." Ashla wondered if she would have given into temptation if the situation had been more immediate.

[Cole Ormont]

Cole's mouth twists, "I can't pretend to understand, but if feeling the Force is anything like what that just felt like..." he's not entirely sure where he's going with the statement.

[Ashla Vyliis]

"Well, trust me. The Dark Side would not have nearly so pleasant."

[Cole Ormont]

Abruptly, "I caught the first part of the huttball game on the holonet last night. You took a dive like an Alderaan Gravball player, what was that about?"

[Ashla Vyliis]

"I didn't want to be part of the throwing the game. I mean, I don't have a problem, but this wasn't business as usual. The Sith got in some sort of trouble with Dango, and I didn't want to be a part of that."

[Cole Ormont]

"Remmington? He came to see me yesterday, down at the, uh, clinic." Cole runs a hand through his hair and leans over to check on Jeebu, the next episode was autoplaying, and the Rodian seemed content for the time being.

"Jo'ren wants to create a new team. The Valkyries minus the people who wanted to throw yesterday's game. Do you want in? We might be playing tonight."

[Ashla Vyliis]

"Sure. You're just going to watch today, right?"

[Cole Ormont]

"Not a chance. We need six players, and who knows where Captain Alderaan," he says with some sarcasm, "will fall on the Valkyries/Paragons coin."

[Ashla Vyliis]

What a damn idiot. So, full of fucking pride. Ashla sighs. "Fine. But if you get hurt, I am going to make you pay in numerous ways for it."

[Cole Ormont]

"I feel fine, and I'll bet that if you pass me my mediscanner, I'll find that you and your Force ability has done a better job than I could. If I get injured, it won't be because of this," and he points at his leg. Hearing the emphatic stress in Cole's voice, Jeebu looks up, concerned.

"I don't want to sit in the stands with my thumb up my ass while everyone else plays, I could do that far more comfortably right here." Besides, I want the Hutts to see I won't be kept down so easily.
