I actually wrote a thing, it's 6 parts but it's only 1.2k words total, I just hope it makes sense. Background/Timeline (contains JK endgame spoiler): Title: Man in the Middle Attack Prompt: Communications Breakdown/Alternate Perspectives Featuring Remi and Scourge Pt I Remi Pt II Scourge Pt III Remi Pt IV Scourge Pt V Remi Parenthood/Allies Notes:

Thanks for the support on the indexing. This thread is so awesomely active, all thanks to you guys. Conquers the rakghoul plague only to be taken out by street vendor food You are awesome! @DarthSillyMonkey Heroic Blizz! Love it. Very nice action sequence as well. @frauzet Loving Thorns's backstory and beginnings. That last part with Mako was also very nice. Awesome picture, I don't see enough people using those full tattoos. @bright I'm kind of speechless at how good that was. It was so Wynston, yet not quite exactly Wynston, almost like Wynston pretending to be Cipher Nine, "This is where I say something charming and leave like a dashing spy." but it's just a little different. And Pacha! I just met you but I'm so in love. I can also imagine her post "breakup" recovery will be designing new mouse droids. At first, little blue ones that blow themselves up. I'm also noting that Wynston might not quite be ready to leave but he's in "good enough" shape and it will have to do. That might be interesting. @Magdalane I love the stories about your girls and their extended crew-families. While their world may have gotten too big to fit within the confines of this thread, (sometimes I feel that way about my own stuff, without all the background half of what I write probably makes zero sense) but it's a great place for one-shots or testing out new ideas or characters. I hope you drop in whenever you have something you feel like sharing. @marissalf Ahh, badboys like Killian. Terribly delicious.

I am almost a week behind in comments and didn't even realize! @marissalf That worst day ever for Rissia, I feel so bad for her. It's terrible and true that you can still have feelings for someone who betrayed you so badly. (I felt a tiny bit bad for Pierce right there being used as revenge, but he'd probably like it so that's ok) Also I must be really slow, it took me a while to get Tom-2X. As to Vacation post with Kinka and Vector: eeeeee @bright Wynston's entire spiral is so very sad and realistic. He had few comforts and when he lost some he leaned more heavily on the others. Still D: poor Wynston! I'm glad Vector and Keeper were there for him. I love the way he thinks of Yana-Ton's sacrifice, I'm glad you went back to his small collection of things. @RatchetGuyClanks Your Mako took skadge in better stride than mine. @DarthSillyMonkey Belated welcome! ahaha very nicely done. @Zethrodek For the mask piece: hah! That sounds exactly like something Vette would say. (also we have a Disguises prompt I thought it fit under that) @YoshiRaphElan I like your SCORPIO and Kaliyo, they're kind of equally scary. @alaurin haha, I loved the light vacation story with Bella and Mallay. (And now we actually know what Jorgan and Vik's bodies look like! ) @Lesaberisa Really really enjoying that room I lost it at charge to Aric Jorgan. For Malicineve's part, "Ambience of Hutta" way to almost make me feel sorry for Quinn. He is super whiny about harsh planetary conditions @frauzet Hah! That was a shocker! But... but... Blizz can tank just as well if you gear him right D: Not to worry Gault, soon you can hire an Ewok and Thorns will wonder why he ever let Skadge lean against that wall.

oops! He didn't count for the yearbook pages because he's a toy (and I liked that the number was exactly divisible by 3) but Yuun was supposed to hold him in the club picture. Sorryyyyy 4X!

In honor of a year of FCD I made a yearbook (and headcanon-ed an ending because that's what I do) http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/e/3/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_cover_by_kabeone-d6ehtih.png http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/0/c/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_staff_page_by_kabeone-d6ehtia.png http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/0/b/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_class_pic_1_by_kabeone-d6ehti0.png http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/202/8/a/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_class_pic_2_by_kabeone-d6ehthv.png http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/8/5/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_class_pic_3_by_kabeone-d6ehthj.png http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/7/c/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_clubs_by_kabeone-d6ehth7.png http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/c/9/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_picture_day_by_kabeone-d6ehth1.png http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/202/2/e/forced_companions_daycare_yearbook_the_end_by_kabeone-d6ehtgm.png

@bright eee, I love Wynston and Ruth, even if this Wynston is not capable of more than sexy business dealings... all for the Empire of course. Then you go and D: I know he won't admit it in this universe but that dude is hurting somewhere, possibly wherever Kaliyo hit him with that boot. @Lesaberisa So is Tulak Hord Jack or Rose? I loved this. For the collections piece was it wrong that I imagined that Iresso had some how obtained the goofy mood at the end there? @Leonara haha of all the things Doc would hide

Yeah, when he's pants-less he's wearing long underwear, unlike any other character. I just saw him on the list and he's the same as he was before the patch as far as I can tell. Maybe they fixed him with a customization, I never use those.

Lord Scourge is unchanged. He still wears long underwear and relaxed and Mira's gear lady style. He can wear covert gear correctly. I find this weird because he actually has a playable species body (like Vector). Maybe he just likes to wear his relaxed gear sassy or perhaps his old fashioned sensibilities means he won't do the shirtless sleeves thing.

I really love this image. Nalenne does have a lot of issues. Argh, why do I think that's sweet? Stop making me think something with Quinn in it is sweet!

Prompt - First Impressions and Anniversaries Featuring - Remi and the JK crew ~400 words Spoilers - JK Quesh Note:

@bright thanks to you and Magdalane I spent the morning trying to figure out if a sonic shower could theoretically have a cold setting. (Inconclusive, but I'm thinking no assuming the concept uses vibration to remove particulates and vibration usually creates heat, and that sent my brain into a whole different track about why you would shower when... nevermind.) Anyway I'm guessing the cold showers of Star Wars are best served by water. Every time I read about Colran and his carefully hopeful beginnings as a padawan, my heart hurts a little knowing that the Jedi ended up not being what he hoped especially because that hope was already tempered with Imperial cynicism. @alaurin I like the friendship you have between Bella and Aric and the resolution for that awful quest. Didn't seem like it should be so easy to just get bitten and walk it off. Risha and the shoe collection was very funny. Even though in real life I don't collect shoes at all, I've found in game I can't seem to throw any moddable gear away! @YoshiRaphElan Poor Jorgan, he's gone through so many changes recently. @Selentar The background for Lokin fit perfectly, nicely done. @Adwynyth Oh, I remember the lipstick (nothing can stop their love), I was just trying to figure out a way to say it without uh needing brainbleach . Some people just can't be tanks, they need to be dps. Oh and I wish! I wish I could hit people with my speeder. Some kind of speeder based combat would be awesome. @Magdalane The lacy lingerie thing made me grin. The first impression was also very cute and a perfect fit for those two. @elliotcat Welcome back! Nice intro to those two. There were many former slaves taken to Korriban for training during the SI line, I like the beginning of this alternate story. @Euphrosyne Nice perspective on that meeting, the hope Aly was feeling but staying realistic and of course exactly what she thought would happen happens but for a different reason. I thought Jaesa's horrified letters were kind of funny after that incident. I also wonder how LS Jaesa would have behaved as a love interest, her darker half is kind of cringeworthy. @marissalf Kinka and Vector are so sweet together. @frauzet Welcome! I was grinning through this but this: startled a laugh out of me. Dye packs are an addiction, matching speeders would take the rest of my money. @Lesaberisa I love Andronikos and Veresia as friends. The SI ship oddly enough seemed to have the most different assortment of people but I actually find it easier to believe that they got along well more than any other crew. @RatchetGuyClanks Welcome. Nice story, Tarro Blood is truly one of those infuriating characters. @Striges I'm glad you went back to the song thing with Sha’ra’zaed and Vector. I was so sad she couldn't share music with him. I love the references how she loves the singular him and the plural him and he also loves the real her and all the other versions of herself that she shows to the rest of the galaxy. Beautiful and sweet.

@Adwynyth and here I thought Vette did that on purpose so she and Broonmark could be together at last .

@bright I'm not sure why but I snickered non-stop over cold showers for Ruth. Edit: Energy efficient.... yes.

Behind on indexing trying to catch up on comments instead. @marissalf Your stories with letters are always so bittersweet. Also, Kaliyo being the kind of caretaker person who uses alcohol as an incentive is spot on. @Magdalane I love how Magdalane turned to Miriah for help. It's also interesting to see Miriah's perspective about the Order. I'm glad the consular class quests showed that the Order actually doesn't disapprove of all relationships the limitations of the conversation wheel and the absolute darkside/lightside values sometimes make everything the order says seem absolute black and white. The Iresso romance doesn't get the attention most others seem to get but it is very sweet the way you write it. @bright_ephemera I agree with Striges, the flamethrower analogy is perfect. I wonder if Vector would ever give him a counter perspective regarding the "mindlessness" of the Force. Supposedly the killiks are all connected to the Force while they don't use it the way Jedi and Sith do. @Irrissa yay! Welcome back. Neat start to Rosaleen's story, since we all start with a blank slate trooper she really is one! I hope there's more. @Lesaberisa Lost on Belsavis, I sympathise. I still can never remember how to get around that wall in the first area. Amurri's trouble strategy is perfect strategy. Navigation by Khem stomach also hilarious. Then I got something in my eye for the Voss piece with Ayrs . @Striges I loved that quote, it perfectly fits even though it was said by someone quite different. For the name you used is Avarmarivash one of the poets from the heroic on Tython? I keep forgetting to write their names down. @Leonara Welcome back! I like this take on dealing with Vik. He is such a weird choice for Garza to insist on, even though he grew on my trooper eventually especially after I read about Weequay. Also, I think it's pretty much given that if you have a chance to punch your companion you'll probably regret not taking it. @alaurin Ack mean cutting it off like that! Also, that quest in Taris is super weird. Of all the "you want me to do what?" quests that one is tops. @Lady-Jean Read that in Orgus's voice. Perfect.

hahahahaha Where was he hiding that pole?

*dies* Ahh Scourge or Red Hot, which is the best nickname for you ever, I knew it had to end this way, at least your death meant something in the end. I will forever think of this particular arc as a novella entirely constructed to get Rho laid. A worthwhile endeavor and an awesome read.

This is the best Broonmark. I forgot how much I loved the name Sith clan artillery for Pierce.

Agreed, poor Jorgan. Also, baby Jorgan swearing is probably the cutest thing ever.

Thank you all I usually don't like to reply without having some kind of image to post but I wanted to say that it's been all of your encouragement that's motivated me to keep drawing. Thanks for loaning me your characters to draw and writing awesome things that put pictures in my head.

@Adwynyth yay for more. No... indulge in self-loathing. Swim in it until your fingers get pruney. Oh wait, this Quinn might be ok. Maybe. I'm watching you, Quinn. I wonder how Lokin will take being around someone who can see right through all his bs. If I were him I might be alarmed.

@Morgani Yay! Welcome back. I... wouldn't do that... when I have this awesome new thing to read I loved the mood and all of the descriptions. Everything was so clear and the image of the fear the Sith cast around him reminded me exactly of that first IA scene where you meet him and ask why it feels like you're dying. Wonderful, perfect, horrifying Jadus. @Lady-Jean I love the build up of a Knight. I found it kind of disappointing that the story takes us from "just arrived" to "you're a knight now". Your take on it is wonderful. @Selentar Young Lokin is a wonderful idea to explore. I like what you did with him. @marissalf D: nooo... I hope they left him somewhere safe. Throughout my IA experience I did think Vector was too good to be on the ship, but still. Nooooooo.

Thanks! I was thinking of trying to draw my OCs using RL actors but I really don't have many OCs and they all look like Remi Full scene of my updated Remi picture. http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/178/a/5/remi_at_the_end_of_a_world__1_year_update__by_kabeone-d6az8mx.png
