Morning Chats 1/11/22 - Anatketani - 02-06-2022
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
Astra wakes up from a not so restful sleep. She had spent most of the night worried about Hadaza and also trying to find a way to convince her to stop calling her Highness.
She eventually gets dressed and heads to the kitchen with the intent of making something to eat.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/11/2022
Tesara enters the kitchen with Durro. "Hello, Astra!" She comes over to give her chosen sister a hug. "How are you this morning?"
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
Astra smiles and Hugs Tesara back. " I had a long night. How are you?" She asked?
@Durro Thel-Tanis @Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/11/2022
Tesara moves to the cupboard and pulls out some newly stocked food from the Priloc and makes herself some breakfast. "I had a long night as well. Lots to think on." She looks at Durro, then back at Astra. "What made your night long?"
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/11/2022
Durro sets himself up at one end; propping up his book Delequices of Dathomir and begins rummaging through the cupboards for ingredients.
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
" Hi master" Astra says then focuses on Tesara. " it Hadaza im worried about her. I went to speak to her last night. It was kind of a rocky conversation towards the end of it she had an episode like Roza use to have. I'm not sure what set it off but she started shaking it seamed she was tarifyed of sumthing." Astra said.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/11/2022
Tesara sets down the plate of food and frowns. "This was last night? What kind of episode? You know she was really upset, angry and very likely hurt by what the professor said and did." Tesara sat, still frowning. "She is still dealing with the trauma of what happened to her and the loss of her memories. It's a long healing process."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
" One I'm all to aware of," astra said dryly. She looked at tesara thinking for a moment. She was not sure how to describe it. " I set it off," She said her eyes going wide as realization hit her. She shook her head. " I had mentioned that the professor was good with mental health and had silenced the voices in my head with medication and suggested he may be able to help her. This was after she had calmed down somewhat. Anyway, she started shaking and said she did not want medication or anything from the professor. Again it was like she was terrified. " Astra said calmly.
" I hugged her and reminded her that no one would make her do anything. She settled down and the episode stopped eventually but. It was so much like the episodes Roza would have after she woke from a nightmare. I'm afraid Hadaza will get hurt during the episode or worse harm herself if they continue. She insisted she would be ok and if there was something wrong or bothering her she would let someone know so as she was calm I left her alone as she asked" Astra said.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/11/2022
Tesara snorts a little. "Yes I doubt Hadaza will want anything from the Professor right now." She takes a bite and looks thoughtful. "The thing is with Haj, I have only seen her be afraid once or twice, and that was at the very beginning of having her with us. Over the last month it has turned to steely resolve. Knowing what happened with the Priloc and the disastrous outcomes of it, my guess is that Haj is just more emotionally wrung out than afraid. After all," She smiles at her friend. "She sat straight as a rod without moving when Kasandra had that blade at the back of her neck. Anyone else might have panicked but she sat there looking quite angry about it. Granted that led to her trying to move the blade with the Force which set of a chain of events that were..." She frowns, searching for a good word. "Unfortunate." She says dryly. "What made you think she would hurt herself either by choice or by accident?" She asks, making a mental note to go check on Hadaza as soon as she is done eating.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
Astra took a deep breath. "Like I said Roza had episodes like that. After the attack on that ship. She had symptoms as well. She suffered and struggled for years befor she..." Astra started. She took several deep breaths. " tesara it's far more complicated episode she doesn't trust herself and believes she is a danger to everyone around her. On top of rebuilding herself"Astra said
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/11/2022
Tesara reaches out and takes Astra’s hand. “Thank you for telling me this, Astra. It’s nice to see someone else concerned for her welfare now. Master Thel-Tanis is over there making her some breakfast. Hadaza is a part of this team. I’ll go talk to her.” She says, finishing the last of her breakfast. She stands and glances at Durro, she knows he is listening.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/11/2022
There is a clanging clatter as a pair of pots fall to the floor from a cabinet. Durro can be heard muttering under his breath.
"Anyone know of a good substitute for Mushling Root?" He asks.
@Tesara Anerin
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
Tesara Anerin — 01/11/2022
Tesara chuckles. “Why don’t you go help Durro while I go check on Hadaza.”
@Durro Thel-Tanis @(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
Astra smiled " Thank you Tesara." Then headed to help Durro what Rute can I see the resapy master" She asked.
@Tesara Anerin @Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/11/2022
"Two hundred battle droids on the plains of Huuqain, no problem. Fun, even. Baking this... ugly little fish..." He gestures to the sad little fillet popping in the frying pan. "...this might have me beaten."
He gestures to the book propped on the counter.
"Be my guest. But unless you've ever been to breakfast with the Witches of Dathomir, I doubt you can find good substitutes for these ingredients."
"Veeka Eggs... Veeka Eggs... Why are there no eggs in this galley?" Durro asks nobody in particular.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
Astra look at at the resaply and looked at the fish in the pan. She smiled" No but I know of sumthing we use to make at the academy can you prepare some vechtibals and a pot of water do you still have the bones from the fish?" she asked.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/11/2022
Durro looks at Astra incredulously, as if she had just suggested serving the book itself for breakfast. He tilts the book, looking at its title, then back to Astra again.
"You do realize I'm trying to make Dathomirian cuisine, right? Did the Jedi teach you to make Witch's Stew?"
"Fine, I'll get the vegetables. I suppose it won't hurt to have a backup dish. Don't let the fish burn!"
He walks over to the unit and opens the door, rummaging inside.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
" No but there's a number of ingredince in this resapy that can be used in a stew or supe and it will make substituting some of the unfamiliar species and routes easier." She said as she started looking at some spices. Picking several. " here uses some of these in the pot with the fish bones and bring it all to a boil don't add the vegetables yet. I'll start making Noddles" She said quietly setting to work.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
(She spent a lot of time in the kitchen at the Academy so she picked plenty)
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/11/2022
"Astra, it's a frozen fish fillet. It has no bones!"
He stands, a small carton in his hands.
"I have no idea what a 'tuung-snipe' is, but an egg's an egg. I'll fry a couple of these up."
His face darkens when he sees the containers on the counter. He glances at the spices and mutters several somethings rapidly to himself.
"Astra, these are Serrenian spices! What's going to be Dathomirian about this meal!? Who has noodles for breakfast, anyway!?"
He heads for the pantry on the hunt for vegetables.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
Astra rolls her eyes. " Master neither you or I know what these spices are in the book and wail one or two of them are here.you still don't know what to subsatutue any of them with. I would assume your trying to make a dish for hadaza correct" she asked. As she looked closer at the Fish master did you even bother to thaw this befor starting to cook it" She asked.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/11/2022
"Aha! Mushling Root!" Durro says happily.
"Canned Mushling Root." He adds, a little less happily. "And it's two years out of date."
The can clinks onto the counter, along with several vegetables.
"Oh well, I'm sure it's still good. Canned food is forever, right? That's why it's a survival staple."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/11/2022
" Master are you trying to give her food poisoning!!" Astra yealed in alarm." Are you insane? Caned food stays good for longer yes but not 2 years after the explanation date Master do you even know how to cook" she said she quickly took the can from him. " The fight should be done soon at least that's how it smells" She said.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"Of course I know how to cook!" He replies, taking the can back. "I survived fourteen years in the Jungle on my own and another five in Tesara's village."
Finding a can opener, he pops the tin open with a hiss. He smells the contents, makes a face, and chucks the can into the disposal unit.
"Right, so no Mushling Root. I guess fish and eggs are it."
He checks the fish, and removes it from the heat.
"OK, eggs and.... toast? I guess. I'm not aware of the Dathormirians making bread, much less eating toast. Tesara's people did, but it was a treat not a staple."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" you did not live off caned..." Ashe started then burst into giggles wanting durros face after he opened the can. It remained her of an incident with Sol.
" Sol you never lision," she said between giggles without thought. Before reality came crashing back down on her. She chose to ignore the slip rather then deal with it.
" Master Hadaza will probably enjoy whatever is made for her. She did not strike me as a picky eater" she tried reassuring him.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"I'll be banned from the kitchen after this." He muses. "How can dismantling ten thousand battle droids and conquering the unconquerable fortress of Na'Zheel be easier than making breakfast?"
He cracks four eggs into a new pan. They begin sizzling and release a pleasant smell into the kitchen. After a few minutes, he takes the spatula and flips them over carefully. Another rush of incomprehensible muttering before he says;
"Well, scrambled it is. Is there any cheese?" He glances up at Astra
"How is your soup coming?"
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" Apparently im not the only one lost in the past today." She said. She had stopped getting an alernit meall ready and focused on the task Durro had given her. Though at the moment she was cleaning up as much of the mess as she could so they would have less to clean later. " I had only decided to improvise as I thought you said ther was no eggs, oh here you go cheese," she said. As she had stopped what she was doing to look for it. She handed the chess to durro. " Sol and I use to cook together I miss that more then I realized" she said. A strange sad smile on her face.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
Durro adds cheese to eggs and continues to move them around.
"I understand. You've mentioned spending lot's of time in the kitchens. Something about potatoes." He grins.
As he moves the eggs from the pan to the plates, he says;
"Well, it's edible. Doesn't look pretty and isn't what I envisioned, but it's edible. I just need some buttered toast and we'll be set!"
He starts a few slices of bread toasting, then freezes as if remembering something.
"Ah, I almost forgot!"
He withdraws his tin of Priloc-seed from his robe and sprinkles some on the fish.
"For flavor!"
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" yah that was meant to be a punishment. Which given Sol and I enjoyed it I fail to see how it was a punishment" Astra giggled setting out of the way to le Durro work.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"Their loss is my gain; I'm going to need all the help I can get." Durro says, withdrawing toast that is a tad too dark from the toasting unit. He spreads butter on the bread so it melts, and gets two small dishes with spread and puts one on each plate.
"There. I think that's everything. What am I missing?"
Two plates sit on the counter; a seasoned fish fillet, two scrambled eggs with cheese, and two slices of buttered toast on each plate.
Durro glances at the book on the counter, then back at his plates, then closes the book hard with a satisfying THUMP.
"Well, this breakfast certainly isn't Dathomirian. Which I should be grateful for, I suppose."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" Perhaps you should leave cooking to Tesara and I" She said with a smile. " Why did you pick Dantimerian food anyway," She asked. With a slight smile.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"I'd like to learn." He says. "I shouldn't take the lead for a while."
"Caff! That's what I'm forgetting!" He moves over to the caff-maker. "At least I'm familiar with this."
While the pot brews, Durro puts both plates in the warming unit and retrieves two mugs.
"I thought it's obvious? Hadaza is Dathomiri. I thought familiar food might trigger something, since she's rejected the idea of becoming someone new and wants to recover what's been lost."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra razes an eyebrow. " You know Zebrack come from plants other then Dothimear to right? She could be from any one of those other worlds and cultures" she said. She shook her head with a smile. " On another note master, I told her the truth about my past. I took a page from tesara's book when it comes to building trust. Anyway now I can't convince her to stop calling my Highness I don't know what to do she muttered bursting into giggles. It was quite funny how of the rails the night had gone. " I will say she has quite the defence mechanism there, scared the hell out of me" she smiled.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"Yes, I know but..." He gives Astra a strange look, like he's confused about something.
"You really didn't see it? Did the Jedi not teach about the Witches of Dathomir? The facial markings were my first clue, the language she speaks sometimes when distracted is another. The final clue was the hand gesture she uses when showing respect. My Jedi taught us about all of the major Force traditions we may come across. Not in great detail, but enough to recognize them and understand their traditions broadly. I can't say for sure if she was a witch or not; I don't know that much. She is from Dathomir though; I'm certain of that."
The caff maker beeps and stops bubbling and steaming. Durro ensures it is ready but leaves the hot-plate on.
"Well, everything's ready whenever she is."
"You told her? Interesting. Did she say anything about what happened with the Priloc? I don't want to salt any wounds during breakfast."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" They may have. I may have either forgotten or was not paying attention. Those classes were kinda boring and the way the instructor droned on in the same boring tone. It put me to sleep. "She said with a grin.
" you know that does not vary helpful. Yes, I told her," she said slightly frustrated for a breafe moment. She shut her eyes and shook her head. " we kinda talked about them she was more upset about what the professor said and how she put everyone in danger. She was convinced last night that's she was a danger to everyone. I'm pretty sure I convinced her to calm down. Though unless she brings it up I would not recommend talking about it. Man she was like looking in a meair once we got past her threatening me" She said.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"Noted."
"Have you tried asking her to stop? For all everyone here talks, there's a surprising lack of communication that goes on. Something we're trying to change."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(((When @Tesara Anerin and @Hadaza arrive, we will end this scene and I will create another for breakfast.)))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I already tried that she ignored me requst, honestly It may not be worth pushing that subject with her right now if you have not noticed she is a bit unstable," she said with a slight smile. A bit was an understatement though given Hadaza's history she was not surprised.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"Then embrace it." Durro says simply. "I know you don't like being reminded of your heritage but it is still your heritage. If you turn your back on it, then your mother's legacy is truly dead."
"Besides, a wise master once told me; 'If you're ever mocked for who you are, embrace it. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
Hadaza — 01/12/2022
(((OOC - just waiting on @Tesara Anerin. I know she's working today)
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
(((OK, did not realize that. Whenever Astra feels like this conversation is over, we will pause for Tesara.)))
(((Though I wonder if Hadaza and Durro could start breakfast in the new thread after we know Tesara/Hadaza have arrived, but before Tesara answers? Je ne sais pas.)))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra looked uncomfortable. " Master it's not my Heritage I want to run from. It's what it remains me of. Sol, Lord sereno and so many of my friends and family died that day. People I grow up with and went to school with it hurts to think about" She said quietly.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
(((OOC Sorry I was in a meeting that just ended - Tesara and Haj are talking now and will need to finish that before this happens)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
(((No worries. Astra is in charge of when you two arrive. ? )))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
(( lol the chat Astra is having with Durro should keep him busy wail @Tesara Anerin and @Hadaza speak)
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"That goes back to what I was just saying." Durro says gently. "Embrace it. Take that weakness and make it your strength. Then, it's no longer a weakness."
"Easier said than done, I know. Just know you're not the only one. I considered by soldier past a weakness; the man I no longer wished to be. The incident with Ryan on the Jupiter 1 made me realize that I can't ignore who I was. Make that weakness a strength; in this case I know I can withstand anything the swarm throws at us, and it's no longer a weakness. I'm no longer bothered by being referred to as a soldier. I was, and that has shaped who I am. Embrace the ghosts of your past, and honor their memory."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra looks as if she may cry for a brief moment. " how does embracing that honor their memory I fail to see your point there." She said. She looks at Durro.
" why would you have been bother about being a solder" she asked him.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"As I understand it, everything they did, they did for you. To reject it seems... ungrateful. You may dislike the idea of being a princess, and you may never rule Baklid or otherwise fulfill your mother's desires, but if you acknowledge your past and accept it as part of who you are, what made you who you are, then it can never be used to hurt you. You've already accepted and made peace with it."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra just stares at him. Blinking for a moment. What he said made sense but she did not want to accept it. " Why? Why did they love me? Lord sereno risked so much so I could become a Jedi. And Sol was beside me every step of the way. Sure the other nobles in my family teased me because I had been adopted it was usually good-natured fun." She could not stop the tears this time and she tried to wipe them away quickly with her sleeve. " Since that day it's like time stands still. It just hurts to think about. I cent even eat meat anymore because I can't handle being reminded if him. It hurts to remember. It's physically painful why?" She said all if this coming from her as if a flood gate had been opened.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
Durro wraps his young apprentice in a hug and lets her get it out. Finally he says;
"We can't explain why others love us, or why we love them. Love is the universe's ultimate mystery; even more than the Force itself."
"I understand the feeling; I really do. The best thing you can do is embrace the pain, understand it, and let it go. It'll always be there, but you'll be stronger for it. Like metal forged in fire, the pain of your past shapes who you are today. Embracing it makes you stronger, while running from it makes it a crippling weakness."
"It won't be easy, and it will be a journey, a process. I can promise you though; once on the other side you'll be every bit the strong Jedi Knight I know you're destined to be."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
Hadaza — 01/12/2022
((OOC - Hadaza is headed your way)))
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
((Tesara is behind her)))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra lets durro hug her. She practlicly bairys her face into Durro's shoulder crys for several minutes. Eventually, she calms down. She looks at him for a moment befor returning his hug. " thank you master. I feal better now" She said braking the hug and backing away.
" We should probably see where Tesara and Hadaza are" She said.
@Durro
(End this one how ever your like)
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara sees Astra pulling away from Durro and smiles, calling "Well well, Master Thel-Tanis you're getting quite a lot of hugs this morning, aren't you!"
Hadaza — 01/12/2022
Hadaza walks in to see them as well. She can tell that Astra has been crying, but says nothing.
"Master Thel-Tanis. Your Highness", she bows formally to them both.
"Something smells good!", she says as she wrinkles her nose
Durro Thel-Tanis — 01/12/2022
"Oh, I think everyone's coming to peace with the last few months. Years, in some cases."
"Hadaza. I hope you don't mind; I made you breakfast instead of dinner. Have a seat, I'll go and get it."
He turns and walks back into the kitchen area to retrieve the food from the warmer.
/end for Durro. I will pick this up in another thread. Probably easier to read later that way, instead of all one thread...
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra gives durro a look as if to say see I told you so. Then smiles at Hadaza and Tesara. " Good morning Hadaza im glad to see you looking better" She said with a smile. She sines to Tesara " Lest just say Durro sigesting I embrace Hadaza calling me Highness and it lead to a difficult conversation and reminder of the past."
( ok)
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
((OOC resuming private convo between Astra & Tesara during Durro and Hadaza's breakfast)))
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
"What's going on?" Tesara asks, concerned at the evidence of tears from Astra.
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I'm fine really it was just an emotional conversation. I was and still am a bit uncomfortable with Hadaza calling my highness. Though I did ask her not to she has continued. I don't really want to push the issue with her as I know she is kinda Unstable. Master suggesting I embrace it. Which lead to me explaining why I don't like being reminded of my heritage. But im ok now and Hadaza can call me highness if she wishes" She said a little embarrassed.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara smiles warmly at Astra. "I think her opinion of you has shifted now. Everyone changes and everyone changes their minds about things. Free Will, yes? You know the Force has put us together on this path for a reason. Hadaza has no memories whatsoever to base any of her words or actions on. She is adrift and only now finding her feet." She chuckles. "In hyperspace no less. And you? You have all of your memories intact and they follow you like ghosts. Let me ask you, Astra....imagine for a moment that the swarm is totally defeated. No more danger to the galaxy. You return victorious to Baklid. What then? What do you want to do when the swarm is defeated and you return home? Who will that Astra BE?" She asks gently.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I will still be a jedi ill rase my daughter teach her and others our ways the way the jedi should be. Selfless, kind, and always Hopefully. To see an bring out the best in others when they don't see it themselves, and protect those who can not protect themselves. " she said with a smile. " who will you be Tesara" Astra asked wanting to know Tesara's Answer.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara smiles again. "Before I answer that question, I want to ask you something else. You don't want to join the Coruscant Order. You don't want to join the Olavan Order. So...can you be a Jedi without an order to call home? Or maybe...just maybe You begin and create your own Order. With all of the ideals and morals you hold dear. Just think on it." She smiles, then looks thoughtfully back at the kitchen. "I will do something along the same lines. Not a Jedi order, but my own tradition. My own Force Alliance. Who knows, maybe your order and my alliance will work together." She smiles a little wistfully.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I don't want part in either order. I think I would prefer to create my own but I don't know that I could lead something like that you know. It would be really cool if that happens for our orders to work together." She said with a smile. Astra looked out to the dining area where Hadaza was. " while our circumstances are different I understand what she's going throw. I want to help her if I can" she said. Then looked back at Tesara. " we have to make it throw the coming sworm first" she said with a smile.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
"Exactly. Swarm first, Orders and Alliances later. And yes, Hadaza is struggling, but like you she is strong. She is stubborn and determined and I don't give those damn bugs against all of us together." She grins. "How's Jedi training going with Durro? Learned anything new from what you'd already been taught on Soreno?"
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I learned some new lightsaber forms though I spent most of it so far in meditation" she said totally distracted she took her lightsaber from her belt and held it out for Tesara to look at. " how have you been " she asks definitely eager to catch up.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
"Oh those blades the Priloc had....stunning and SO USEFUL. I wish I had a way of getting some. A little differently shaped of course - I don't have four arms. I love my bow and arrows for ranged attacks but to have something like that for close contact fighting would be good. I don't have a lightsaber anymore."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" you still have your crystal right" astra asked.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara nods, bringing the cord she wears around her neck out of her clothing and shows the talisman she had used the crystal to make and be housed within.

" why not make a new lightsaber. Yes, it does little good indirect attacks against the bugs but it's still useful. Well yes, lightsabers are traditionally the weapon of the jedi there's nothing that I know is stopping other force sensitives from having them. " She said. As she put her own back in her belt.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara puts the little talisman back inside her shirt where it lies between her breasts. "I did consider it, but honestly, I don't think I will. Lightsabers are tradition for the Jedi. I can have other weapons powered by my kyber crystal. Likely not until after we have done with the swarm as they eat that energy emitted by the Lightsaber."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra nodded and smiles " There may be a way to make those swords. You saw how the Priloc's swords glowed when Hadaza used the force. It's the same way the rods Master got from that downed ship glowed I bet it's posibal to make swords out of those. " She said with a grin.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
"True!" Tesara grinned. "Are you feeling better now, love?"
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" Yes, I am though I did have an idea you know how I can send images to people it was a trick the hunters thought me. They use it to communicate and call for help quickly perhaps we can adapt it for our purposes. That is if You Hadaza, and Durro wanted to learn it. And if the professor is ok with it would could send such messages to him as well thought he would not be able to respond. We could at least worn him of danger you know" Astra said with a smile.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
"Oh that's a fabulous idea! Yes lets do that. I also think we should work on our illusion skills as well as move object. You can thank Ashanti for me for that one. Perhaps a group of us working together with the professor as he is the only one not force sensitive here. Except Handyman, of course."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
((OOC I have to step out to run some errands, but I will resume when I am back))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" Astra turns her head sideways. We should bring this up to the group" Astra said with a smile
@Tesara Anerin (ok )
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Yes, but I want to give Hadaza and Durro a chance to have their breakfast together. And honestly, even though he irked me yesterday, this is the professor’s ship and his quest so I feel strongly he needs to be with us even though he’s not Force sensitive. He’s skilled at strategy and we need to work as a unified team. Have you seen him this morning?” @(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
"Oh no i totaly agree im just saying we should rember this lol. No i have not want to go find him" Astra asked. @Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
She nods. “I don’t want to wake him. Perhaps Handyman will know if he’s awake and available for company.” She begins heading for the area of the ship where Handyman is most likely to be.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra nods and follows her. @Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
@Kunanaki Do Tesara and Astra locate Handyman or the Professor?
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
((((OOC great! We’ll find ou where?))
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
In the meditation room with Handyman()
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Door open or closed?
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
Well if you found him....()
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara peeks in and sees them both, indicates to Astra that they are both in the room. “Professor Kenobi may we speak with you?”
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" Hello Professor" Astra said with a smile.
@Tesara Anerin @Kunanaki
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
(((?)))
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
was sitting there smoking, quietly watching the wisp of smoke going upwards while drinking a beer. "Oi, Hello Lasses."
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara steps fully into the room, acknowledging Handyman with a nod. “Astra had an idea on how to communicate with each other, which led to me considering the idea of training together to build teamwork for when we face them again. Using the force but not ON them and whatever else we have access to for weapons. We wanted to bring this to you first as it’s your ship and your mission.”
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra simply nodded. following Tesara into the room.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
cants head and flicks the ash into a Tray. "Reasonable deduction. How?"
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
“Well, the cargo bay has been used for Hadaza and I to train in as it’s large and provides obstacles that are not easily damaged. Oh! None of them have been though!” She assured him. “It would allow us to train together as a team and learn strategy which is something I know you’re also knowledgeable about.”
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
"I know of a method of communication that the hunters use they will send images and emotions to worn echother of danger or call for help. I thought maby we could adapt this idea for our purposes. I know your not force sensitive but we could worn you of danger or let you know where we are easaly if we get separated" She said with a smile.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
taps his head. "We could use our communicators wired via a headset, tapping them into our throats so that we can use sub vocal communication. Your web network idea has merit for technological purposes as well." he took a long slow pull of his beer. "Military training is tough. I will psychologically break everyone who subjects themselves to it in order to rebuild a creature of analytical animal aggression. It is teaching someone to stop pondering, begging why questions, and to perform under stress with lightning reaction speed."
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara has a second of concern then tightens her muscles against the urge to give in to fear. She asked, he offered. This might be the only way to win. “And you’ll teach us how to do that with the aid of the Force in a way that won’t allow them to eat it?”
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
"I am not sure I understand what your talking about but ok. still if our communications are jamed it mat be useful to have a back up form of communication. For example Tesara and I both speak Basic but we use sine language to communicate some thoughts that we don't want anyone else to know" she said. she looked at Tesara for a moment. " Yah we don't use it directly on them use it on things around them" She said.
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara nods at Astra and looks back at the professor
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
looks at her blankly, before standing up. "For example, In an ambush you can cause untold devastation and destruction." And tossed a smoke grenade to the ground between them, popping up smoke while simultanously squirting at them with a water gun. "Boom. Boom." At the same time Handyman shut the door behind them and the lights snapped off to add to the chaos. The professor's lesson number two.
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara went on alert instantly, recalling hundreds of hours of lightsaber training with Durro. Sight didn’t matter right now, hearing did. She called upon the force to aid her. She crouched low to the floor, forcing her breathing to become as silent as possible.
And listened
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra startled she dropped low to the ground and reached for her lightsaber simply getting the wepon in her had. She know this was practice so she would not ignite the deadly wepion. but she could use it in other ways. She reached out to the force to enhance her seances. She remand silent and lesioned for the professor or Handyman.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
light switched back on, and the professor gave them both another squirt. "Boom. Boom. Ambush. You see how this happens? Change the environment, do things quickly and confusingly, and practice. Imagine if you both as force users started simply using smoke grenades more often for an example? Precisely tossing them exactly where they will cause the most effect to cut off sight." He choked any other information out for the moment. After all, no reason to information inindate them. All of their high tension force sensitive movements meant nothing if he simply stood exactly where he was, made no movement, and waited for the light to switch back on in 5 seconds by handyman. "This has been Military Training Example Number One from Professor Ben Kenobi. If you're interested in learning how to use tactics such as these to win, then write your name down on the document. We start every morning now that we've left priloc until the next stop. Uniforms will be provided."
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Image
Astra squealed and tried to leap out of range of the Professors attach." Uniforms? " Astra asked.
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara straightens up warily, still unable to see the Professor, handyman or Astra. “I can’t see the document, Professor.” She says calmly.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
Handyman clicks a button to start the fan, clearing the room of smoke and filling it back in wtih Light. He gestures to the table filled with new cupcakes he had been working on and snacking, a few cups that were empty, and a pad to write her name down. "Spread the word."
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara raises one eyebrow but says nothing. She glances at Astra then back to the pad. She glances at it to see if there is any more information such as where they’d be meeting each morning.
(((OOC is there anything else written there?)))
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
(6 am start time, PT outfit provided, expect traditional military training routines. Embrace the suck today with Professor Kenobi!)
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara signs her name then turns back to the professor. “I’ll inform Durro and Hadaza but whether or not they agree to sign and train with you is theirs to decide.” She feels strange, her heart is racing and yet she feels more alive than she has since going to Priloc.
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra hesitates she feels Anxious as she remembered the vision from earlier this morning. " I'm not sure about this, I had a strange vision this morning" She muttered quietly, She was suddenly frozen. Anxiety was wrighten in her buddy language. She sine's " Tesara Help ".
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara takes her hand and guides her to the hallway. “Talk to me. What’s going on?”
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I saw my Death, there was chanting something about the mother the goddess knows all. Hadaza had killed some one. they were chanting blead the mother and they cut my throught" she muttered.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
gave a shoulder shrug. "Cryptic, yet what else did the message hold. Where were you? What were you doing before the attack?"
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
"I um... there were can show you" She asked.
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara is frowning. “None of that makes any sense. Where were Durro and the Professor? Where was I?”
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
She shook her head" I did not see any of you just the man " He said we will blead the mother" the he .... they the people that drank my blod sumthing about the mothers gift" She said.
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara is frowning even more now. “Professor do you know of any groups who worship this dark goddess? Chanting to her makes me think they worship her. We know of her influence on the Priloc. Maybe this vision is a warning from the Force to stay away from them.”
@Kunanaki
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
looks at her confused. "Do you have a name for the Dark Goddess? Dark Goddess is a typical phenom in history. Ashanti herself could fit that criteria." Gestured towards Astra
@(Princess) Astra Korraay @Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara shakes her head. “Not that I can think of. Are there books in your library that mention a dark goddess in the unknown regions?”
@Kunanaki
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" No they did not give a name, i think there attack on me had sumthing to do with my sight they said the Goddiss blesed the blod of the mother given her sight beyond sight" She said quietly
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
“We’ll we know that’s true. I used your blood in the injector and look what that did.” She snorts. “Astra listen, I know it was terrifying. We won’t let it come true.” She hugs her.
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
she nodded returning the hug. "I think I can sine that contract now" she said she seamed to calm down a great deal.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
spreads open his hands. "Too vague, I am an Archeologist and would have to research. I require more details."
Tesara Anerin — 01/12/2022
Tesara smiled. “Told you you were strong.” She looked back at the professor. “I will look in the library to see if I can find anything.”
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" Professor im sorry theres more to the vision it jumped between three difrent or simaler but related event" She said quietly .
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
nods head. "Perhaps if you wrote it down I could take a look at your Vision? Asking question by question seems to overwhelm."
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra nodds "i will wrigth it down in my jurnal and send a copy of that entry to you Professor if that works, I have a realy hard time with these visions the come on with no worning and are almost alwas of deth and destruction
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
nods head. "It is why I need to address a very powerful problem we must address right now, amongst all the force users. Funny how we are replete with them here. We must talk right now with everyone about who will become the Force Star Walker, the one to guide us to hop along the paths. The longer we wait the further beihnd we get. These two hour jumps will not wait until tomorrow."
@Tesara Anerin @(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
"How is it possible to guide a ship throw hiper space professor" She asked.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
"They Priloc spoke clearly of how it was possible. It was looking into the near future while programming the Astrogate to find out which path would lead to where we wanted to go by cutting out any path that would lead to our deaths."
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" So Fareseeing then" She said quietly.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
nods. "Yes, though more of a Danger Sense then mind walking far. In truth I believe you could adapt rather easily to doing the task and it would provide you with a measure of control over your abilities."
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
Astra stares at him. Wide eyed anxiety rising again. " Me?" She said quietly.
Kunanaki — 01/12/2022
nods. "Until you get over your fear and anxiety, you will never improve. If you cannot dip your toes into the same waters, you might as well forsake yourself as a Jedi and become a Nun. Astra, we lose the race unless we Walk the Stars. With Tesara who also can see beyond, and the raw potential of Durro, and the unknown of Hadaza, what will we do next? More meetings?"
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 01/12/2022
" I umm...." She started at him. The words she had recorded to send to Roza coming to mind. " being brave dose not mean you aren't afraid. It means you can act in spite of it" she muttered.
" I am afraid professor but I will still try and do the best I can" She said Agreeing with him.
Tesara Anerin — 01/13/2022
Professor, while I do have the ability to Farsee, Astra is the one with the Seer gift. I agree with you that doing this will help her in many different ways but she will need guidance until it becomes natural.”
