Notes: These were written for the fifty-prompt challenge at http://communities.livejournal.com/1cha racter
and I made it into forty-two because it's more mythological, so there.
The ones eliminated were not as telling about our hero, in my opinion.
Each has a reference to a Quin fiction of mine, fortuitously, so I have
appended their titles.
1.Package:
If Aayla had only just handed over the damned Scientific Information Package on Honoghr, he wouldn't have tried to kill her, and the Count wouldn't have tried to kill him, and he wouldn't have had to trick Obi-Wan into anything.
Dreadnought
2. Obscure
He could never see Plo Koon's eyes, behind those protective goggles, and though he tried not to let it bother him, it did affect how they made love-- then after his mind-wipe, it just bothered him, plain and simple, for no good reason
Following You, Taken
3. Skeleton
In Senator Viento's tomb on Coruscant, the bones of the man he'd murdered told him the identity of the second Sith lord, but it was Dooku's minion, not his Master, dammit.
Heavy Issues
4. Nurse
Khaleen says he's hopeless with a bacta patch, but most times there's been nobody else to put them on when he's hurt-- such is the life of a spy.
Off Center
5. Domino
If Quin hadn't almost drowned and been saved by Obi-Wan, he wouldn't have done him a favor and identified the artifact, and they wouldn't have been caught playing with it by Qui-Gon, and Qui-Gon wouldn't have lusted after him all those years, and then taught him how to love.
Ord Mantell Reunion
6. Thaw
He would not have been able to defeat the Vaapad master Sora Bulq before Aayla and Tholme's combined meditations illuminated him from within, allowing him full access to the Force at the crucial moments.
The Second Sith
7. Frame
Of course that little rat Tookarti was only too happy to sell him out-- to Dooku or to the Council; either way would serve to make him look bad.
Double-cross
8. Mentor
Tholme took a little boy, driven nearly insane by tragedy and his own gifts, and taught him how to shield-- his hands, his persona, his mind, his talents, his heart-- and that is how a master of disguise can be a healer.
Guardian Star
9. Spirit
He doesn't know about using the red crystal that belonged to Darth Andeddu for his light-sabre, because he detested the feeling he got from handling the Sith's holocron, but Dooku orders it, and he does it.
Competition on Korriban 1
10. Womb
The cell where he was held on Brentaal IV was so small he couldn't stand upright, and was kept in complete darkness; in it he was only technically alive.
Secret Garden
11. Trash
A being's discards are an excellent source of information, especially when you can read an item's history with your hands.
Invisible-- Jaxxon's Twi'leks
12. Anima
Ever since he caved in and murdered his corrupt aunt, Sheyf Tinte, she's been giving him nightmares-- because she's family.
Nightmare
13.- Burglar
It took both of them to temporarily disarm the security device where the Noghri had cached the SIP--Quin as well as Aayla.
Simple
14. Carpet
He prefers to have one for meditating on, like most Jedi, but otherwise they'r a dusty nuisance, best left over the balcony railing.
Brandy and a Shave
15. Sand
On Socorro, Vos jumped straight into a sarlacc's mouth and then levitated back out, holding an ignited light-sabre, which was a dead giveaway that he was a Jedi, of course, but then he landed right on top of the bounty hunter and knocked her into the sand.
Home
16. Perfume
There is something about the aroma of freshly brewed caf that is impossible to reproduce,thinks Quinlan Vos.
Some Kind of Vos
17.Wine
The color of Khaleen's hair is not one usually encountered on a humanoid, somewhere between purple and red, but it suits her., and it feels good in his hands.
Between the Lines
18. Reflection
Reflection leads to angst; angst leads to suffering; suffering leads to doing katas and meditations all night instead of having bad dreams.
Feed the Beast
19. Magic
When you were undercover, it was miraculous what a little application of the Force at the right moment could do to convince a credulous being.
Free Woman-- Jaxxon's Twi'leks
20.Cats and Dogs
Dooku actually got a kick out of how his minions were always at each other's throats, but Quin would rather that one of the throats wasn't his.
Tibrin
21. Hum
You had to hit just the right note to turn on that alien vibrator thing, and he could never find it-- Obi-Wan had to turn the thing on and off for them., with his kriffin' perfect pitch.
Device 1, 2, 3
22. Flinch
He did not dare to react as the monster, whose inner circle he had joined, tortured his first love, Shylar, to death; he couldn't even look, and she cursed him.
Torture
23. Jester
Obi-Wan looks so angelically innocent, but he's really quite ready to snicker at an off-color quip about one of the Masters getting up to something in the Gardens, Quin has found.
Behind His Eyes
24. Haven
Even though he's come back to the Jedi in order to betray them from the inside, on Dooku's orders, the truth is he's very glad to be as far as possible from Dooku, for as long as possible.
Infrared Love, Rescue
25. Dusk
Quin loves the bright sunlight, because its wane means soon he'll have to go back to his other life, in the dives and alleyways where Korto Vos makes his living.
Brandy and A Shave
26. Chord
The essence of three Jedi masters at once, Tra'a Saa, Tholme, and Zao, sang in his head, persuading him not to fry Volfe Karkko with Force lightning, like a Dark Jedi would-- but oh how he hated Anzati.
The Lightning
27.- Indulgence
The vices of his persona Korto Vos were those consistent with the tastes of a renegade Guardian-- gambling (which he carefully lost at now and then), sex, and ale.
Blown Off
28. Freezer
Where else to store the decapitated head and lekku of Kha'riss Fenn, on the way back from Ryloth?
How Long?
29. Passage
Tol Skorr backed him into the wall as soon as they left Dooku's presence, so Quin slammed the big lug into the opposite wall; you have to keep the pecking order clear.
Competition on Korriban 2
30. Coast
Padawan Vos used to cut power right before docking in the launch bay, and let the fighter drift in on inertia, just to keep his master waitng a few extra minutes-- until the time they blasted off into hyperspace without him.
Hyperspace
31. Morbid
It really bugs Quinlan Vos that Dooku not only insists that he bring back the head of his target as proof of death, this time he sends along a holocam, to make sure Quin does it himself.
Watch It
32. Shipwreck
He and Obi-Wan crash-landed their starfighters in the main hangar of the Rendili flagship, on their way to rescue Plo Koon and the other hostages; he thinks Obi-Wan needs to get used to losing ships in the course of a mission, and quit complaining about it.
A Talent For Chaos
33. Coin
When the taxi pulled up at the Temple, his hands were full of drunken Obi, so he just tossed credits through the cab window untill the driver left.
Don't Be Blue
34. Guile
He told Dooku the wrong locations for the blast charges he and Aayla had set in the stronghold at Saleucami, but only because it bought them the time they needed.
Paint
35. Eyelash
Khaleen has two tiny equlateral triangles tatooed under her left eye, and dark lines over her lids, to accentuate them.;Quin knows they're permanent, and don't kiss off.
She Who Would Not Be Avoided
36. Drive
Agen Kolar almost had him in custody on Nar Shadaa, which would have ruined everything, but then Khaleen rammed them with her speeder and got him away-- what a woman.
On and Off the Wheel
37. Net
Six years he's spent building up his contacts under his Korto Vos alias, and that rat Tookarti looses Agen Kolar on him, who renders it all worthless in an instant, by trumpeting that he's a Jedi.
This Is Not A Debate
38. Waves
Approaching the Infinity Gate on Dathomir was like swimming upstream against a waterfall, once it was activated, and after he set it to destroy itself, there were equally powerful aftershocks.
Matronymic Ros
39. Wax
You had to put it on the nerf hide, which was what the boots were made of, or it would start to crack-- but not the synth-leather of the tunic, or it would stretch too much.
Holocron
40. Keepsake
It was called the Heart of Fire; he had given it to Aayla, and she had given it to Xiaan, who now gave it back to him so that it would tell him about his lost padawan-- because he couldn't remember.
Six
41. Insect
He and Obi-Wan almost got pulverized by that swarm of carnivorous beetles in the tunnels on Troiken, when they were only padawans; amazing how long they both have lasted since.
A Winter Night
42. Destination
Since he now knew that he was Quinlan Vos, and Quinlan Vos was a Jedi, of course he was going to the Temple on Coruscant, no matter what Villie said.
