Last week kind of sucked, then got a bit nerdy

Yeah, so you all know about how I seriously over exerted myself on Monday last week, but you didn't get to hear about the rest of my week.

Tuesday I wake up with insane pain in my sternum and on either side of my neck... I fear the worst, naturally. I can't remember much of what happened that day, but I decide to make a doctors appointment while being groggy and thirsty (dry throat) for the better part of the day.

Wednesday is another day that I'm not sick but still hurting. The pain in my sternum subsides, but I can't really move my head from side to side due to pain. I made a doctors appointment for the next day at 4.

Thursday is when I had the cold. Runny nose, dizziness, the works. Someone called me around 9 am that day, but I decide to skip my first class of the day, sleeping until 1 pm. Later I find out that the school doctors office actually canceled my doctors appointment, and tells me to go to an off campus clinic, which I eventually do.I wrote my teacher saying that it wasn't my intent to sleep late, and told her about what I assume is enlarged lymph nodes (which is the precursor to things from throat infection to cancer). She sends her regards, and extends the due date for one of my projects. Ok, one class down, all I need to do is do some things in my art class and then go to Japanese.

No biggie. I tell my Sculpture 2 teacher that I'm sick but still willing to work, to which he insists that I go immediately to the doctor, and I did. The doctor gave me a perscription for some antibiotics, musinex, and some nose spray to clear up my nose (Which says "FOR THE NOSE. NON SCENTED SPRAY."... damn you Anosmia.) all of which costs around $40. Guess I won't be eating this week.

Friday I'm a bit better, but there's nothing for me to do... so I do nothing. I'm still a little sick, but I make due and read some things vaugely and play Fallout 3 all day. I also got a demo for a videogame called 'Brutal Legend' which is absolutely hilarious... I have to get it.

Saturday... That day I will not go into great detail with. I just had some fun with friends.

Sunday I woke up late after our little adventure the night before, and nearly was late for my star wars RPG game which happened at 12. I woke up at 12:08. I'll detail what happened with my character if you'd like to see, if not skip ahead.

Just so you know, my character is a bit more stealthy and sly... and prone to being more devious than the other jedi. She was training to be a jedi (she was picked up from a city-world and taken to dantooine) and then kind of got bored being in one place, so she wandered onto a cargo ship and wound up on Tattooine. She's a left handed Duros who is a little proficient in Jedi ways, but is all about stealthiness and doing famous 'quick draws'. She managed to make a living off swoop bikes and made a living in it selling and piloting them. Early on she encounters a slave with a thermodetonater in a bar who is threatening them all with it. My character attempts to reason with the slave, saying he'll be free, but he doesn't listen and instead arms the grenade, to which she shoots the man in the chest (she wanted to hit him in the wrist, but no such luck) and dives for the detonator (disarming it) in one swift move. She took the slave to a doctor, claiming it was her slave, who patched him up. From then on my character has had a thermodetonator and is tempted to use it every chance she can.

Fast forward.

When we ended last week, my character and her party were fighting 3 Sith- 2 aprentances and 1 master. My character is worthless at close range, and got hit a lot. Eventually she got knocked down to 18 health when she tumbled out of combat and into a safe 'meat shield' position behind the rest of her teammates (who had waaay more health than her.). One of the party members survived a hit from force lightning, and managed to hurl one of the apprentices into the other, causing massive damage (he loves that 'move object' thing. He used it once to detonate grenades on soldier's belts and to fling around his lightsaber without even touching it.).

When we start, she (Who's name is Jaan, btw) critical hits one of the Sith apprentices, killing him. The sith girl apprentice gets pissed and hurls me down a flight of stairs, doing 10 damage. I slink away back to the ship, starting it up (she is proficient as a pilot), and tending to her wounds as the rest of the members clean house.

Jaan finally returns to Dantooine after 18 years on another planet (in fact she's not really sure if she has parents or where her home world was, but she assumes it was Tatooine) and begins training somewhat apathetically. Eventually the team follows a lead and ends up going to Kashyyyk (wookie world), where they are ambushed by a Sith battle ship. One of the party members, the telekenetic fighter Kil'em attempts to bluf his way out of our imminent capture but fails. He and Kuddles (a jedi who focuses on firearms rather than lightsabers) is captured. Jaan, Kryst (the tank), Author (the tactician), and the princess hide under the floorboards as the others are taken.

Using the floorboards offensively, the four lift them up just as the guards walk over them, sending all 4 guards flying. During the scuffle, Kryst breaks one of their face mask and kills/maims the others while my character closes the main hatch to the hangar. When the soldiers in the hangar ask whats going on, Jaan uses fools luck- adding some points to her persuasion- and tries to convince the people outside that everything is normal, and they were just fighting off some Whomp Rats. "Really big ones".

The guards don't buy it, inquisitively stating "What the fuck is a Whomp Rat?". The team gets into sith soldier uniforms and take the princess 'hostage'- opening. We claim that it was the princess trying to fool the others in the hangar, but the problem has been dealt with and everything is alright (even though 4 troopers went in but only 3 are coming out...).

Eventually we make it to the detention area where Kil'em and Kuddles have been using their force powers to cause a ruckus with the guards- flinging them up and down the hall. A group of 15 guards just plan to go beat up one, and Jaan quickly follows them (she intended to kill all of them at once, but decided against it). She, Kryst, and Arther are the only 'guards' in the area. Jaan stealthily deals with the officer at the main controls, opens up all cell doors, and frees a group of 5 wookies. She passes them 2 grenades and tell them to cause a ruckus. Alarms go off and the team make way for their ship- Arther instant kills 15 soldiers and one officer. They make it on the ship and are accompanied by their new wookie pals, who help Jaan with the ship and generally keep her company.

They haul ass out of the sector and end up in a city world, where they meet a really depressed taxi man. When they get dropped off, the driver gets into a crash, to which Kil'em and Kryst save the man from plummeting hundreds of feet... but not being very subtle about it. My character stealths into the bar, and isn't seen until later. The team meets an informant who, at first demands money for sensitive information, but ends up claiming the money that they have been giving the man is money to keep the team alive. My character instantly shows up and quickly whips out a gun. It is assumed that Jaan is literally right behind or next to the informant, who becomes seriously frightened of me. He spits out the information and the team leaves the planet.

As it turns out the one who bought the item that we need was in fact our benefactor- a senator from Alderan. We contact him, who asks that we meet him on his homeworld. Kil'em calls in reinforcements and we arrive on the planet. Before this though, it turns out that the princess (who is the senator's daughter) actually has the item with her. Long story short, the team and the senator walk into a room to speak in private- however 20 guards and hand maidens come in with us. It becomes apparent that he is lying. Before we can accuse him of anything, he ushers in 3 sith apprentices and one master, who all confiscate our lightsabers (but not my concealed pistol). Arther attempts to force slam them, but is instantly thrown out of a window into a lake hundreds of meters below. The princess is taken away, much to Kryst's dismay. Everyone complies, and just before we are put onto a transport, a jedi master saves us (thank god for the distraction). My character force disarms the sith closest to her to retrieve her lightsaber back. Unfortunately she is the only one with her lightsaber... all the others are either lost in this battle or were never found again, so all other party members had to make due with sith lightsabers.

The team and the jedi master flee from the planet back to dantooine to make a report. Jaan is dismayed that her Wookie pals are now alone on Alderan, but is hopeful that they will attempt to return to Kashyyyk... hopefully the team will be able to track them down and get Jaan's beloved classy ship back.

And thats where we ended for the week... God I feel nerdy, lol :P

It was an alright week... just no more like it.
