"Coruscant, sir," chirped the droid beside him, obliging and oblivious to the way that word hit him like a gaffi stick to the back of the head.
His eyes remained entranced by the view outside, and he stepped closer to the transparisteel pane, raising a hand to press against it, as if he might be able to confirm it wasn't just a view screen.
That what he was looking at was real.
Chastising himself for not doing this immediately, Jacen stretched out with his senses, feeling the teeming life all around him. Not the alien, twisted life of a Vong-formed world, but that of a vital society.
While there was a definite smoothness and elegance to the design of most of the buildings rearing up across the panorama like a metallic forest that was enough to convince Jacen that this was not his Coruscant, there was still an undeniable familiarity ( ... )

But now one caught his attention, directly in the room with him, and his head turned, dark eyes widening slightly.
Tenel Ka?
It had been so long since he'd seen her last; or even if it hadn't been as long as he imagined, there was a wealth of experiences that lay in the gulf between their last meeting and this one that made it seem that way.
He moved away from the window, fingers brushing against the pane, as he stared at her for a long moment.
"Tenel Ka."

It wasn't that she wasn't happy to see her friend, of course not, but the fact that he was here in the same room with her, an a room that she had not expected to be in, in the first place...
She remembered how to blink, then, and took a few steps forward, reaching out to Jacen through the Force to confirm that it was really, truly him.
"Do you have any knowledge of where we are, or how we got here?" she asked finally, too - overwhelmed, to come up with anything more personal.
Reply
His gaze flicked out the window again at her words, and he inclined his head slowly.
"... It's Coruscant," he said, simply, glancing back at her as he let that sink in.

Her eyes widened slightly, but her expression remained blank as she moved over to stand next to him - not because she didn't believe him, but more from an instinctive need to confirm the impossible with her own eyes.
"...This is a fact," she said after a moment, reverting to the longer form of her habitual saying, for lack of any other words at that moment. She stared out at the cityscape for a long moment before turning her face back up to Jacen. "There is a datapad in the room I arrived in, it appears to be connected to some sort of network. There are others here, and they seem to have as little idea of what is going on as we do."

Now she was awake, and she wasn't entire sure if it was heaven, or some kind of really fucked up hospital. The fact that she didn't have clothes on apart from her undergarments was quickly picked up on, and she grimaced at the possibilities of what that could mean.
"Hello?" She called out, her voice raspy.
She then realized that she could hear voices, not ones she recognized, but maybe they'd be able to tell her where she was and whether or not her mother was alive and nearby.

The mystery of how he'd arrived here still hung in the air, but there were more immediate matters at hand. He sensed the presence in the side room even as she called out uncertainly. There was a sense of confusion exuding from her, and a heaviness that spoke volumes. But nothing familiar about her presence.
He took a step past Tenel Ka, his hand reaching out to brush her elbow as he did so.
"Hello?" he called out, sending out calming waves through the Force as well in an effort to assure her there were friends out here, rather than enemies.

She stayed in step with Jacen as he moved, neither ahead nor behind but simply at his side. She didn't say anything for the moment, but waited, prepared, to see what would happen.

"Where are we?" She frowned a little, and glanced down at her body where there had been injuries only a short while ago. "Are we all dead?"
Reply
It wasn't Danni - he could recognize that much through her presence in the Force, but she did bear an uncanny resemblance, and the fact that she only seemed to be wrapped up in a sheet almost brought a twinge of color to his cheeks, as he finally really realized that they were all in a state of undress. It was different somehow with Tenel Ka; they'd been through so much together that the lack of clothes had seemed like just another thing to deal with compared to the "on Coruscant before it was destroyed" part of things ( ... )

"I do not believe we are dead," she said simply, finally lowering her makeshift weapon. She did not sense any ill-intent from this woman. "Of course, I have never experienced such a thing before, so I couldn't say for sure." From anyone else it might have been a joke, but as always with Tenel Ka, it was almost impossible to tell.
"I am Tenel Ka." She paused for a moment, considering what else to add to that introduction. "Also a Jedi Knight." There was no reason to mention any of the rest of her titles at this point.
Reply
Well. Definitely not Jedi.
She didn't believe that they weren't dead, and only let out a small snort as Tenel Ka talked about her beliefs on the matter. She did offer both people a small nod and as much of a confident smirk as she could manage, given the situation.
"Jace, TK. Looks like we're stuck together, at least for now. I'm Jo Harvelle, and I don't have any idea where Coruscant even is, but if you say we're there, then all right."
Reply
"That's a pretty positive attitude to have," he noted, though there was caution in his own voice that seemed to say as much as he appreciated her optimism, he wasn't entirely disposed to share it quite yet. "Can I ask how you got here, or what world you were on?"
Reply
She caught Jacen's glance in the edge of her vision and inclined her head slightly, confirming her response to his unspoken question. She was content to let Jacen do most of the speaking for the time being, preferring to watch and listen, gather pertinent information that may come in use at a later date.
