This originally was a request to test for Knight, after chatting with Ivory, I am just requesting to bypass to Knight.
Character Name: Akkala Rii
Character Age: 26
Character Sex: female
Character Species: Human, from Naboo
Testing for the rank of: Knight
Length of Time In Role Play (IRP) with the character: Close to 2 years
Length of Time In Role Play (IRP) at current rank: About 2 years
Code Interp:
There is no emotion ~ there is peace.
While the basic principle of this line of the code in elementary, I don't find it to be completely accurate, as I am sure you will agree with me. While, as a Jedi, we train to rely on no emotion that may lead us to the Darkside, such as fear and anger, I think the emotions that are beneficial are lost in translation. To really have no emotion is to be but a void. While there is a certain understood peace within a proverbial void, it is not the peace we should dwell on. We, as Jedi, should be more open to dwell on the peace that comes from sharing the way of the Light with others… This is a happiness, such and emotion can not be overlooked. Peace in itself is a wonderful emotion to experience. Being free from suffering, pain and other negative feelings is what gives one peace. But the universe is such that it is not perfect and we must rely on the good emotions to bring peace to all beings.
There is no ignorance ~ there is knowledge.
As members of the Jedi, as time progresses we lose the ignorance that we were all born into in life and we grow in the knowledge of a better way to live. A better way to live in the Force with all beings in the universe. So while there once was a certain ignorance in us all, the further we follow the ways of the Force and the path of a Jedi, ignorance falls away to knowledge.
There is no passion ~ there is serenity.
I feel there is actually a great tie here. I will start by actually talking about desire. There is a passion involved with desires. As Jedi, we desire many things. A true Jedi, of course, desires goodness and peace for all beings. That is also called compassion. While we are taught and trained to deny the hurtful passions caused by anger or hate and other such emotions, we need to embrace the passion for life. The passion for peace and harmony for all of life. When we can apply such good passions, our goals achieved, then we will be at peace, and can find full serenity in the Force.
There is no death ~ there is the Force.
As Jedi, we train to be become whole & one, completely, with the force. We study the Force and over time, we bond with all beings, all through the Force. It is a constant in our path and throughout the universe. And though our bodies give in to age or more regrettably we may be killed by other means than those that are natural, if we can truly become one with the Force in life, we will remain one with the Force after our body may die.

Hi
› You have been marked as being away.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• had been teaching a class on animal kindness to a group of younglings in the Praxeum. The children would thank Master Rane and head on their way. He encouraged Jedi and those who are force sensitive to reach out to animals - they are not to be overlooked for their usefullness. He would then head out of the classroom and wander the cooridors of the Prax.
₪Âkkålå₪ was standing just outside the Praxeum practicing, and trying to be smooth like her Master, on calling her saber hilt to her hand from her hip, and igniting it fluidly... for the most part it was going well, this being the third hour in a row... and a few singes on her robes...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would emerge from the Praxeum to find his student, to his delight, practicing with her saber. "Ah, Akkala. Good day, padawan." He would bow to her. "Glad to see you practicing."
₪Âkkålå₪ had just caught her saber and hit the button to ignite it when Charles spoke, and she jumped, only slightly, but dropped the saber "Shoot!" and it flew right back to her hand "So much for being and ace with being mindful of my surroundings... Good day Master Rane."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would smile as she was able to recover the blade quickly. "Draw your blade. Set it to stun. Let's see what you're made of." Instantly, his own hilt would fly into his hands and his bright canary yellow blade would hum to life.
₪Âkkålå₪ she nodded sharply and the grass green blade shot to life, and she quickly set it on stun. She hesitated only a moment and gripping the hilt with both hands, held the blade out infront of herself, the blade up and tilted slightly to her right
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would lunge, swinging his blade in vertical motion, up over her head and trying to slam down onto the crown of her head. "Have you been reading the Jedi code?" he asked in between attacks.
₪Âkkålå₪ she quickly brought her blade up over her head horizontally, so their blades would meet in the middle, suspened over her head before his could certainly give her a good whack... "Uh... the code yes, but I'll admit, just briefly.."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• As their blades buzzed at the contact, he held the positioning of the two blades. Then, with his right leg, he would kick at her left ankle. "And? Remember any lines yet?"
₪Âkkålå₪ didnt want to remove her blade's position, and absent mindedly just picked up her left leg, now standing like a flamingo bird..."Ah... There is no peace.... NO! oh, there is no emotion, there IS peace!"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would remove his blade from hers and then making a stabbing motion towards her stomach with his own, putting all of his force behind it. "And what does that mean to you?" he asked, looking into her eyes the entire time of the spar.
₪Âkkålå₪ "Well..." she dropped her foot and pivoted on her right foot, moving her stomach out of the blade's point, it would just stab air in front of her, but awfully close to her dislike..." I'm not sure I agree... I mean, we all have emotions... It isnt literal, then, is it?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would quickly move his blade horizontally towards her stomach once more, that had just stepped out of his reach. "Yes, we all have emotions. But it is important, -so- important to be able to control them as a Jedi. Never let your enemy smell your fear. Never let your emotions blind you. You may do something you may regret. Draw upon the peace of the Force to help you control your emotions."
₪Âkkålå₪ distracted to the fullest now, didnt react to his blade quick enough and it would hit her across the stomach and she stepped back "That makes more sense that way..." she said rubbing at her stomach. "So the force can help us draw away from the wrong emotions, through peace, in any situation?" and she would lunge foward just enough to hit his outer left shoulder with the long of her blade (i am sooo rusty in saber fighting... i hope that was ok)
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would quickly bring his blade up parallel with his body, in front of his left shoulder, succesfully blocking her hit. "That's correct. Many Jedi are stuffy old farts and say that we should show/have no emotions whatsoever.. but hey, we're human. We're allowed to feel. Just don't let it lead to irrational behavior you would not otherwise engage in. Such actions can lead to the dark side."
₪Âkkålå₪ creating a half circle from the his shoulder out and down, she brought her saber to hit him on the outside of his left leg instead, sround about the knee... "I think I may be skipping a line of the code, but how is There is no passion, there is serenity different than emotion and peace?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would then move his saber in the same position it had been in, only this time the top point was facing the ground. The blades would sizzle upon impact. "They are similiar. Don't let your passions overtake you. Don't let them run your lives. Listen to the Force for guidance."
₪Âkkålå₪ she would step to face him again, and only then move her blade... bring it back away from him and from her starting position, (held out infront of her, tip up and tilted slightly to the her left) she brought it down in a simple clean slash that would make contact at his right shoulder and follow down to his left hip "And if we are truly one with the Force, we live on even after the body dies away, right?" she hoped that made sense
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would simply crouch and roll away to the left, springing to his feet and facing her (hope that's valid lol). "Something like that. We become one with the force." He would disengage his saber. "I think that's enough sparring, do you agree?"
₪Âkkålå₪ she nodded and let her saber fall to her side as she turned it off and took a few breaths "Good enough then." she added with a slight smile, and hoped she wasnt too terrible
•Jedi•Master•Rane• nods. "Have you any questions?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Yes. what is your veiw on the second line of the code? No one can be perfect, and there fore, we cant be completely free from ignorance... even if we do continue to learn... I mean, its like a neverending cycle.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "We as humans are ignorant. And we are always learning. Even as a Jedi Master, I'm learning new lessons every day. You will never know everything. Remember what I said the other day? The more you know, the more you realize you don't know."
₪Âkkålå₪ she nodded "Yes, that is why i am confused. there will always be ignorance."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "If you're aware of your own ignorance.. is that then truly ignorance?" he asks with a quirked brow. "Admitting you are ignorant does not make you ignorant. It shows your wisdom." He would set his hilt back onto his belt.
₪Âkkålå₪ : Well, I guess that does change things a bit...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would cross his arms over his chest, smiling kindly upon his padawan. "Tell me more of your questions. Your thoughts."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Hmm... Well, I know Dabiz is in a relationship... Is that allowed, I mean, I dont question his actions, I just thought you were discouraged from romantic relationships.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "As am I." He would flash a wedding band. Even though they weren't married yet. That was such a long story, anyhow. "Padawans are. It is strictly forbidden for a padawan to become romantically involved with anyone. Which I understand completely, because a padawan should be focusing on their studies, the trials."
₪Âkkålå₪ I agree. Nor do I plan on letting some guy stand in my-- Oh, I dont mean to say that all guys are like that..." she felt a little embarassed
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Stand in your..?"
₪Âkkålå₪ way..." she said rather meekly
•Jedi•Master•Rane• smiles. "No harm in voicing your opinion. Please do not hesitate to do so in my presence. Let your voice be heard!"
₪Âkkålå₪ : I dont hesitate my opinions, I just didnt want to sound like... well, a man hater.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "You don't." He would hesitate, a silence lingering in the air. He would begin to walk towards the lake, motioning for her to follow him. ".. have you a bad history with men?"
₪Âkkålå₪ she walked with him "No... but my father was always honest with me... gave me a great perspective on the many views of the male species. he wanted me to know what I would be getting into once i ever started courting."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• grins. "Yes. Be careful.. when and if you court. Especially with younger men. We all know what they're after." He would smile, folding his hands together as they neared the water's surface. His mind would wander to the courtship of his lover and he.
₪Âkkålå₪ So, how did you meet your wife? " as they walked...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "We haven't tied the knot quite yet.. we met serving in the palace together. She was a hand maiden to the princess, Janar." He smirked. "I worked my rear off for permission to court her. She was very proper. Ah well."
₪Âkkålå₪ Is she still on Naboo?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "She is still serving in the palace as a hand maiden." He would notice her watching Damion. Lowering his voice: "Beware that man. Ladies man. One of my oldest friends, quite a charmer. Married too. I think."
₪Âkkålå₪ she turned bright red, and could feel it too "Oh, I..." she said looking back ahead of herself "I will, then."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would wink in Damion's direction, as he and his companion would continue walking. "Fliratious.. but very loyal. A powerful friend. One of my best."
₪Âkkålå₪ nodded "Do you get to travel many places?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• could sense the dark presence of Nya but would continue to walk in the opposite direction. "I've done some traveling, yes. My most frequented place of interest is Dantooine. I shall take you there sometime. A lovely Jedi academy resides there. It's a wonderful place to study. One of the only places known where you can find lightsaber crystals naturally growing."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Oh! I would love that, very much... Can you tell i've never left Theed?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would look to her. "You've not? Well then, we have some adventures ahead of us then." They would continue on, past the lake and back towards the city of Theed.
₪Âkkålå₪ Sadly, I have not. I have always want to visit Felucia, the pictures are so pretty! And Coruscant... oh I have heard tales of the shopping...." she couldnt help that last one slip out
•Jedi•Master•Rane• grins. "Then you would love Coruscant, I'm sure. They have good fighting matches too, if you're into that sort of thing. And the shopping too," he says with a wink. Charles would make a mental note to find some type of fake Jedi business to take her to Coruscant.
₪Âkkålå₪ she laughed "Fighting? I'm not sure about that... but I'd not turn down seeing a match, you only live once!"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• smiles. "Surely. Listen to me, padawan." As they walked the still bustling streets of Theed. "Did you detect the dark presence back by the lake?" he asked quizzically.
₪Âkkålå₪ she paused for a moment "I heard a disturbance... in the symphony, around the lake... It was like a muffling noise, like when one loses their hearing. Was it the female?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• nods. "Yes, it was. A powerful Dark Sider. One who has a reputation for stirring up trouble. And as Jedi, it is our duty to avoid unnecessary conflict. That's why we left. Do you understand?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : So, no one tries to stop her?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Better to not even entertain."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Entertain? What? The Jedi actually ridding Theed of another Darksider? Why not...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Don't forget about the freedom to practice whatever religion you should choose that is here on Theed."
₪Âkkålå₪ : But if she is so infamous for stirring up trouble, isn't that cause enough?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "The point is not to provoke her into breaking the law. Trust me.. there've been many attempts over the years by others to rid Naboo of Dark Siders. Some have worked, others have not. But overall, it's just better to avoid a conflict."
₪Âkkålå₪ : That doesnt seem right to me...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Even worse, she, or another dark sider for that matter, may provoke -you- into doing something you may regret. That's the real risk."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I can't see how the darkside would look appealing... then again, I guess many of those turned have said that at one time or another.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Oh, don't underestimate the seduction of the dark side. It isn't just.. doing wrong. It's serving yourself, being selfish. Gratifying yourself. Doing as you please. That life style is appealing to those who don't have the will inside themselves to see the Light and to help others."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I can understand that I suppose... But the prospect of everything ending in horrible death and destruction... is that what they dont foresee?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Foresee?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Yes. As in, thats what they dont expect to happen to them. They think all that power they are promised will give them ultimate protection or something... like indestructable gods?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Some of them think that, sure. I cant be certain.. I don't know their thoughts. They certainly have that attitude though. That smug, I'm better than you attitude."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Arrogance... Generally strong in the dark Jedis, right?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Indeed. Indeed."
RP #2
JM¤Charles¤Rane had risen from a deep sleep some hours ago, his mind racing at a million light years a minute. Elyssia was still resting, and Charles did not wish to disturb her. Quietly, he would move into the refresher and shower.. and shave. And take a pair of clippers and cut his own hair. A daughter. His. That was all he could think about. He would call a few old friends back at the palace and make arrangements for all of them to be accomidated. Charles had always been welcome there. Emerging from the refresher, he would sit silently in a lavish love seat by the window, watching Elyssia. Quietly he would take his boots and begin to shine them. It was like a ritual. He was getting ready for something.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier rouses from sleep to see him by the window, the early morning sunlight shining through, illuminating him in a soft hazy glow. She sat up, yawning, stretching, completely relaxed. She slides out of the bed and moves over to him, kisses his forehead then heads off to the refesher to shower and get dressed herself. Despite it being such a nervewracking day ahead of them, for the moment she was serene and calm, probably because she had absolute faith in him that he would be able to do this.
₪Âkkålå₪ was in her room at the Prax, emptying the 8 or 9 large shopping bags that she had just returned from Coruscant with... all new robes! Formal ones, ones for things like sparring and just going out and about in Theed... traveling cloaks and formal cloaks too! She couldnt believe the shopping on Coruscant, and made up her mind to return every week or so...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would return her kiss and go back to shining his shoes. Still, the Jedi Master could not calm his nerves. What would keep him from losing his mind when he arrived? Finishing up his boots, he would put them on. Standing, he would reach for his comm, dialing his puddlewan. ~vc~ "Akkala." I hope you're on Naboo.
₪Âkkålå₪ she dove on her bed in a pile of clothes and dug for her comm ~vc~ Good timing Master...~ she said in a sing song voice
JM¤Charles¤Rane would put her on speaker and begin dressing himself. He wasn't wearing his usual white and grey. No, no. Today he adorned biege pants and a dark brown tunic. A brown leather belt to match that of his boots. One could definitely sense that Charles was in another world today. ~vc~ "I need your help."
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier returns from the refesher with her hair dried and pulled back with a beige scarf. She wears beige tight leggings, thigh high brown boots and a long thin sweater, beneath it across her hips a small belt with a blaster and a knife. Not the she thought she needed them, but just in case. She sat on the edge of the bed, listening to him.
₪Âkkålå₪ ~vc~ My help? What kind of help?~ immediately trying to find something to wear... but what kind of day would this be? She wanted to ask, but knew it wouldnt matter....
JM¤Charles¤Rane ~vc~ "Yes. I need you to help me rescue my daughter. Bring your saber. And your blaster. I'll send you the coordinates when I arrive." That was all he said before hanging up. He would step over to the dresser and open a drawer that was rarely used. Inside, he would find a beautiful pair of brown leather gloves. Taking his time, he would slip them on, and them make a fist.. the leather making a stretching sound that only leather can make. He would turn to Elyssia, stepping over to her and kissing her
JM¤Charles¤Rane cheek. "Are you ready to go?"
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier smiles adoringly up at him "Yes." She stands and wraps her arms around him, kissing his cheek "This is the happiest day of my life," she whispers against his mouth, just before kissing him.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would return her kiss, savoring it before releasing her lips. "Wedding bands when I come back. With Lydia, of course," he says, forcing a smile. "Lead the way."
₪Âkkålå₪ "crap" she muttered to herself, and fished out a new set of robes... these were a deep sapphire blue, made of thick silk and embroidered with shimmery blue paisely patterns. Mid change into them she stopped "A daughter?!... wow..." and then finished getting dressed, pinning her long red curls atop her head in a neat, tight bun. She cliped her new saber to her hip and grabbed her traveling cloak, of course it was blue to >
₪Âkkålå₪ < match her robes, and she fastedned it across her chest with a large sapphire stone. Putting the hood up to rest atop her head, she left her room and would wait to hear from Master Rane.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier leads him outside to the speeder, sliding into the passenger seat. "We are picking up your padawan first?" She gave a glance to the cottage, thinking about all of the packing she'd have to do before they moved into the palace. A part of her would miss the place, especially since they had such a wonderful night ...well, late last night anyhow.
₪Âkkålå₪ she would wait outside the Prax, not knowing where to meet her master yet.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would follow, slipping into the driver's side. "She'll meet us there. Put the coordinates into the speeder while I call Ja'nar." He says, leaning over to kiss her cheek before taking out his comm and dialing the Princess of Naboo. ~vc~ "Ja'nar." Something he very rarely called her. It was usually Princess or Your Majesty or something.
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå stood in the center of her cottage just beyond the palace walls as she looks at the living room. It was bothering her, she was having a furinture crisis. No one ever understood what made Ja'nar get so crazy...~vc~Hey there sexy Jedi Master~ she chimes back to him, meaning Ja'nar was in an unusually good mood again, as she places her hands on the back of the couch and starts to try and push it.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : ~vc~ "I need help."
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå : ~vc~ Finally admit to it~
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå : ~vc~ Finally you admit to it~
JM¤Charles¤Rane : ~vc~ "Can you make some accomodations in the palace for Elyssia and myself.. and our daughter?"
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå would blink a bit looking at her comm ~vc~ Uh yea...I can snag a suite near mine...daughter?~ she asks as she looks at the couch and sticks her tongue out at it. She would take care of the large piece of furinture later.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier grins as she hears Ja'nar. She enters the coordinates to the Praxeum, then to a forest somewhere in the mountains where the Grelorians were last located. She had a feeling they hadn't moved on yet because they were expecting her any day for a new assignement and she hadn't gotten the word to meet them in a new location.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would then immediately move to text those coordinates to Akkala. ~vc~ "Yes, Ja'nar. Near yours would be preferable. And you heard me correct. I need one more thing.. are any of your bodyguards available? I need someone to escort Elyssia back to the palace."
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå : ~vc~ I can give you Anthony for the evening, though I cannot promise he will not try to sleep with her, I could send the two Necros...you choose~
JM¤Charles¤Rane : ~vc~ "Will you and whatever henchmen you can round up meet us? Please?"
₪Âkkålå₪ her comm would beep with the coordinates and she would make her way there... thankfully she had a fabulous GPS on her new datacomm...
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier : You're not taking me with you..?
JM¤Charles¤Rane would look over to her. "Don't you think that's a bit too dangerous?" he asks, moving to place his gloved hand over hers.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier furrows her brows. Perhaps it was too dangerous, if she were there he would be forced to divide his attention trying to protect her while trying to get to Lydia. "Well. Alright. I just thought....but yeah. You're right." She kisses his cheek. "For good luck."
JM¤Charles¤Rane : The speeder would stop. They would wait for Janar and her entourage to arrive, and Akkala as well. "Ja'nar and her men are coming to escort you back to the palace. I won't be long.
JM¤Charles¤Rane The speeder would stop. They would wait for Janar and her entourage to arrive, and Akkala as well. "Ja'nar and her men are coming to escort you back to the palace. I won't be long."
₪Âkkålå₪ she would arrive just as her master pulled up... "Master Rane... " she called to him as she walked over
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier reluctantly slides out of the speeder "Okay. You be safe...and bring our baby girl home." She throws her arms around him impulsively, suddenly feeling choked with emotion. She smothers his face with kisses before running off towards the palace.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier : am AFK for one hour)
JM¤Charles¤Rane would be smothered in kisses before moving out of the speeder to bow to Akkala. "Padawan. Thank you for coming." Indeed, Charles was in a strange mood. Anger was eminating from him. He was dressed much differently than usual.
₪Âkkålå₪ She looked at him for a moment.... "Master, Do you need a moment... you know, to calm down? What is wrong?" she asked only to him, under her breath
JM¤Charles¤Rane would open his mouth to say something, something very rude, but he stopped himself. Gods, what was happening to him. Control. Control. Emotions. Control. He would take a breath. "Thank you for your concern, Akkala. I'm fine. Another moment she's in their with them is a moment I can't afford. Are you ready?" he asks, but he starts off in the direction of the camp without even waiting for an answer.
₪Âkkålå₪ Yes." she replied uncertain of her master's 'okay' status "Care to fill me in a bit though?"
JM¤Charles¤Rane They would begin hiking the trails. "Are you familiar with the anti royalists?" he asks, peering off into the distance off and on, keeping his senses about him. They would come into view of a huge camp. Charles would duck behind a tree, studying it. Power generators. Fools.
₪Âkkålå₪ She stopped along with Charles near the tree "I know very little about them..." she pushed her hood back off her head now "Why? Do they have your daughter?'
JM¤Charles¤Rane nods. "Yes. I didn't even know I had a daughter until last night. They've been holding her captive, making Elyssia.. work for them, gathering intel. I'll stand for no more of it. How dare they." He would look over to her. "Listen to me. This goes against everything the Jedi teach, and perhaps I am wrong to make such a statement.. but what were we, before we were Jedi? We are humans. Man and woman. And certain things are not acceptable when it comes to families." Gods, there was so much of the Jedi teachings
JM¤Charles¤Rane he really disagreed with, but whatever. "Anyway. She's being held captive in there. We need to extract her. Without spilling any blood." Even though he would love to spill as much blood as possible. Control, Charles.. self control.
₪Âkkålå₪ Yes, but, wouldnt more help from the council be appropriate? Not even Jedi Masters are perfect in keeping with the rules of the Jedi path... Master, I don't want you to do something you regret here..." she was genuinely worried about him now "This maybe to close to your heart to act and think clearly as a Jedi should..."
JM¤Charles¤Rane What council, he wants to ask her. The non existant Jedi Council? It was just a fabrication. There were only three Jedi on the council that weren't in utter seclusion, himself included. "I'm fine. You can leave if you like," he says, though that wasn't meant to be hurtful towards her. "If not, I think it's time we get down to business. I'm not here to massacre them. I just want to get my child and leave."
₪Âkkålå₪ No, I'm here to help my master..." though she knew now her real duty was to keep him from doing anything out of the wrong emotions.... and that is exactly what she would do
JM¤Charles¤Rane nods, though he could sense her hesitation. She would learn one day. Where he was coming from. "Good." He would look to Janar. "Janar. Go do what you do best. Go seduce them. Show some skin. Distract them. Poison their minds with the thought of your bare flesh." He would turn back to Akkala. "There a several power generators around the camp. Render them useless. At least for the time being."
₪Âkkålå₪ She nodded, but before leaving him, she would reach for his hand "Master, no matter what, let the Force be with you..." she smiled softly... even masters needed things like that from time to time "It is stronger than us, and you'll do right by it." and she would let his hand go and make her way towards the first generator, hilt in hand now...
JM¤Charles¤Rane "May the Force be with you," he says simply as she bustles off. He would watch Janar saunter over to the guards and couldn't help but stifle a laugh. "Hey!" one of them would call out, and a few of them would rush over to her. They would stop though in their tracks, just kind of watching her. "... err.. what are you doing here!" They were obviously distracted. Charles would snap his fingers, and using the Force, he would turn completely and utterly invisible using level 4 Force Cloak. One of the many
JM¤Charles¤Rane plus sides to being a Jedi Master. He would simply walk past Janars little seduction session towards the buildings. Towards the prison building.
₪Âkkålå₪ as the guards were distracted, she was able to get to the first few generators with ease.... removing the main panels, she simply ran the control panels through with the blade of her saber... of course she could just use the switches, but this would ensure they couldnt be just turned back on...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would begin moving through the camp in complete silence. Ducking behind one of the buildings, he would drop his guise and gather his surroundings. He would reach out to Akkala through the force. It would be the first time he would talk to her using the Force. ~vf~ "Test test. Can you hear me, padawan?" he would silenly ask, before spying a guard. Instanly, Charles would call on transmutation level 4 and instanly become one of the guards.
₪Âkkålå₪ The generators, one by one, would be shorted out... And just as she was removing she heard her master's voice... "Master?" she said aloud and spun around to find three guards anout 15 ft behind her... "Oh crap..." she said as one fired a blaster bolt at her... and the other two ran at her. She instictively brought her saber blade to block the bolt and it shot off, hitting one of the guards running at her and he fell over. By the time the other guard got to her, she was ready with a horizontal slice right through his stomach... "Oh, my!" she had surprised herself... But another shot was fired by the last standing guard and it hit her left arm... but being she was kicked in full gear she ran towards him, saber aloft... once close enough she whipped her blade down, cutting of the blaster weilding hand. switching her saber to her left hand briefly, she punched the guard right in the nose and knocked him out. When he fell to the ground she quickly hog tied him and relieved him of his comm and weapons.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would walk through the hospital ward of the camp. A doctor would eye him suspiciously. Glancing around, and making sure that no one was watching, Charles, in disguise, would grab the doctor by his collar and duck with him into an empty room. The guile would drop. Charles would be exposed to the doctor. "A.. A Jedi? Here? .... you...!" Charles would grit his teeth menacingly. "Yes, it is I," he says. With his hands still on the man's collar, he would call upon the Force, using a mental force suggestion
₪Âkkålå₪ would stop momentarily, now guard free... trying to find her master in the force...
JM¤Charles¤Rane level 4, so strong that no one could resist. At least, not a mere non force using doctor. And it wasn't just -any- suggestion either. Charles would pouring all of his Force energy into this. "Where is Lydia. Where is the child. " His voice was like a serpent, wrapping around the truth.. pulling it from the very lips of the doctor, his prey. The doctor trembled a moment before whispering into Charles' ears. Satisfied, Charles would nod.. giving him another suggestion. "You've had a long day. It's time for
JM¤Charles¤Rane bed. This is also a dream." The man would nod and slink off.. not even looking back, almost in a zombie like state. "Hmph." Charles would mumble. Once again, he would cover himself with a force cloak level 4 and sneakily move on through the hospital. The power would flicker on and off as the generators were taken out. The hospital staff would be confused, up in arms. They would bustle about, trying to figure out what was going on. Finally, stopping in front of a room, Charles would drop his disguise once
JM¤Charles¤Rane more before pushing into the room. This was it. Time to see his daughter.. face to face. To his dismay, he found her.. along with the Elder that Elyssia had told him about.
₪Âkkålå₪ she moved off towards the main camp entrance... of course, she stayed hidden fairly well, and there were only two guards here. She stood and walked over to them, putting on the lost wanderer act... injured to boot! The Guards met her well before the entrace... "My speeder... it crashed just outside the forest." she panted and said sweetly, pointing in the direction of the city "I was trying to follow directions from my friends, they are camping in the forest this week. I got lost and I'm afraid I'm >
₪Âkkålå₪ injured... can you help me? please?" she pouted, holding her shoulder. The Guards looked to eachother and one motioned for her to follow, and she did, following him to the hospital facility...
JM¤Charles¤Rane already. Gods.. she really did have his eyes and chin. And that was Elyssia's nose. Lydia would outreach her arms for him, and Charles would try to move for her, but the Elder spoke, stopping Charles. "Don't take another step, Jedi, or I'll shoot her." He would flash a blaster. "I was wondering how long it would take that miserable little wench of yours to tell you the truth." The Elder would inch closer to Charles. "It was gross, you know. Seeing her go into labor early like that. Her dress, her body.. a
JM¤Charles¤Rane bloody mess. We were tempted to put her out of her misery. She was crying for you the entire time. And where were you?" Charles remained still the entire time as the Elder inched closer and closer to the Jedi. "Go on, Jedi. Strike me down. Go against your beliefs. In front of your own daughter. Where were you for your lover? She is ours now, you know.." And with that, Charles would reach out, grabbing the Elder's hand, squeezing it. "Go to sleep," Charles would hiss into the Elder's ear, calling every ounce
₪Âkkålå₪ Once an empty corridor of the hospital, she delivered a swift chop to the back of the guards neck, drug him into a closet and changed into his uniform... thankfully, she was able to stuff her robes into his backpack. She left the closet and jammed the door shut... following her master's now strong presence....
JM¤Charles¤Rane of strength he had and using the force to induce sleep level 4 on the Elder. Immediately, the Elder would crumple back into his rocking chair where he came from. Shaking his head, Charles would turn to Lydia who was still watching from the floor. "They'll never learn, hm?" he asks, and the baby grins, giggling. Moving over to her, he would easily scoop her up in his arms and pull her to him. "Da.." she says, gripping the collar of his tunic. Charles would smile. "Yes, that's right. You are very
JM¤Charles¤Rane wise. You know me already, don't you? Let's go. Mother is waiting for us." ~vf~ "It's time to leave," he would communicate to his padawan. The place was in disarray, people were scrambling to get the power back on and figure out what was going on. All the while Charles would put force coak level 4 to cover him and the child and make his way out of the camp.
₪Âkkålå₪ She had come to the room her master was in as soon as he was picking up the baby girl and Akkala cleared her throat lightly... "Come with me.... Jedi..." she said to keep her cover incase others might be near
₪Âkkålå₪ she would then walk with them, as if leading them somewhere... "Out this way..." she said motioning him to a side exit
JM¤Charles¤Rane would follow blindly, he was just staring at the child in his arms. They would pass by Janar, who was still entertaining. "Come on, Janar, time to go." Charles would flick his wrist in the direction of the guards, sending a force push at them. They would fall unconscious.
₪Âkkålå₪ she would walk on still ahead of her master and child, the guards blaster in her hand, just for good measure, until they were well away from the camp and out of the forest.... she would then remove the guard helmet once the speeders were in view. Turning to look back at Charles "Lets just hurry and get you back to the palace Master.... you'll be much safer there, I'll drive...." it was a bit more of an order, but she needed him to just stay safe with the child now...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would toss the keys to Akkala. "I hope you drive well. Let's get out of here," he says before getting into the back of the speeder with Lydia in his lap. He would motion for Janar to join in sitting next to them. "Thank you for coming," he says, still looking to Lydia, amazed.. he had a daughter. "Who do you think she looks more like? I see Elyssia's nose.."
₪Âkkålå₪ she caught the keys and got into the driver seat of the speeder and once all were in the speeder, she would pull off into the streets.... she was a very safe driver, and went just fast enough to get them away.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would look down to Lydia before offering her to Janar. "Meet Janar, your auntie," Charles says to the baby, who is already reaching for Janar. "Jaaahhhhhhhhhh......." says Lydia, smiling a toothless grin. "I think she likes you."
JM¤Charles¤Rane would watch them play together. Yes, Janar would make a good godmother, he thought. If Elyssia approved. "I hope your feelings aren't hurt that Elyssia didn't tell you. I mean.. she didn't even tell me," he says, shaking his head.
₪Âkkålå₪ She would make it to the palace in no time, parking infront of the palace now... awesome spots reserved for Jedi Masters.... and would get out of the speeder, waiting to walk in with her Master
JM¤Charles¤Rane would get out of the speeder and come around to open the door for Janar and Lydia. "No, it's all right. She likes you. ... I don't even know how to hold a baby," he admits sheepishly, meanwhile, Lydia plays with Janars necklace all the while making baby noises. As he waits for Janar to show them to their new place, Charles would turn to Akkala. "Thank you. For everything. I won't take up any more of your time. Your next homework assignment is under water breathing," he says with a wink. "Have fun mastering
JM¤Charles¤Rane that."
₪Âkkålå₪ She nodded, and would leave them...
RP#3
JM¤Charles¤Rane would be on the terrace, sipping a cup of caff. His daughter was being watched by a trusted hand maiden tonight back in his quarters at the palace. Charles was just enjoying some time by himself.
₪Âkkålå₪ made her way to the terrace, for no reason at all, but she spotted her master and she walked over "Master Rane..."
JM¤Charles¤Rane would set his cup of caff down before standing, bowing to his padawan. "Ah, Akkala. Please. Won't you join me?" he offers her a chair.
₪Âkkålå₪ Thanks." she sat "So, how is the little one?"
JM¤Charles¤Rane would smile, waving Ron over to come and take her drink order. "Oh, she's just fine. Thank you for asking. She barely cries. Just when she wants to be held and fed, really. She's quite.. easy." He would sip his caff. "I must apologize for my behavior those weeks ago. I was not myself." Duma, I didn't even know I had a daughter. "I was wrong to act the way I did. It was very un Jedi like."
₪Âkkålå₪ she ordered a jasmine tea "Don't apologize Master, I am just glad I was there to help. No Jedi is perfect."
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå would sit there for a moment looking to them "I am very paranoid" she says softly. She would give him the little kiss as he leaves "Don't get into any trouble" she would look to Amelia...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would pick up a spoon and stir his caff. "No, they are not. No one is perfect. I hope you realize that and don't beat yourself up too badly when you make a mistake. We are human, and have been human before we were Jedi. Do you understand what I'm saying?" he would tentatively sip his caff. "I think the part of the Jedi code that most struggle with is the emotions part. It's hard to bury them, or deny them. Especially when the subject of family comes into play."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I think its best that we simply learn to control them, right? I mean, thats what makes most sense. Like you said, We were human first.
JM¤Charles¤Rane "Exactly. It is impossible not to feel emotions, but it is impossible to control them. I wanted to kill the man holding my daughter.. instead I put him to sleep," he says with a wink, taking another sip.
₪Âkkålå₪ That is what's important then... what you did do... not what you wanted to do. It's all hindsight, right? And you've learned from it." she smiled softly before taking a drink of her tea
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå would look out into the trees as she hears the screech then looks to Amelia...
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Indeed. I'm sorry I've been scarce. How are your studies coming along? Memorize that code yet?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Yes. And I am certain I have mastered underwater breathing as much as I think I can...
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Oh? Good. Because as you know, one of the many roles a Jedi must play is that of a peace keeper. Do you agree?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Of course. But not a solider... I'd imagine there is a fine line with that.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Indeed, indeed. Jedi are often times called to.. what's the word I'm looking for."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I would think that a Jedi would be the right fit for that. As we are supposed to be just that, looking at things from an outside view.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Exactly. And that's why I've tasked you with learning under water breathing. It seems a few Gungan tribes are at odds with each other. We're going to have to go play mediator sometime in the next few weeks."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Really? We are making a trip to them... underwater?
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "That's right. Not tonight, but soon. I mean, unless you don't want to go."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Of course I wish to join you.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Good. I don't really know what to expect."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Do we have a reason for the dispute?
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Mostly land."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Land? I thought they all lived underwater...
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Of course they do. But hunting grounds and such. Places where they gather food. It's under dispute."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Hmm.. I see. Well, I think it should be a great learning experience for us both.

Code Interp:
There is no emotion ~ there is peace.
While the basic principle of this line of the code in elementary, I don't find it to be completely accurate, as I am sure you will agree with me. While, as a Jedi, we train to rely on no emotion that may lead us to the Darkside, such as fear and anger, I think the emotions that are beneficial are lost in translation. To really have no emotion is to be but a void. While there is a certain understood peace within a proverbial void, it is not the peace we should dwell on. We, as Jedi, should be more open to dwell on the peace that comes from sharing the way of the Light with others… This is a happiness, such and emotion can not be overlooked. Peace in itself is a wonderful emotion to experience. Being free from suffering, pain and other negative feelings is what gives one peace. But the universe is such that it is not perfect and we must rely on the good emotions to bring peace to all beings.
There is no ignorance ~ there is knowledge.
As members of the Jedi, as time progresses we lose the ignorance that we were all born into in life and we grow in the knowledge of a better way to live. A better way to live in the Force with all beings in the universe. So while there once was a certain ignorance in us all, the further we follow the ways of the Force and the path of a Jedi, ignorance falls away to knowledge.
There is no passion ~ there is serenity.
I feel there is actually a great tie here. I will start by actually talking about desire. There is a passion involved with desires. As Jedi, we desire many things. A true Jedi, of course, desires goodness and peace for all beings. That is also called compassion. While we are taught and trained to deny the hurtful passions caused by anger or hate and other such emotions, we need to embrace the passion for life. The passion for peace and harmony for all of life. When we can apply such good passions, our goals achieved, then we will be at peace, and can find full serenity in the Force.
There is no death ~ there is the Force.
As Jedi, we train to be become whole & one, completely, with the force. We study the Force and over time, we bond with all beings, all through the Force. It is a constant in our path and throughout the universe. And though our bodies give in to age or more regrettably we may be killed by other means than those that are natural, if we can truly become one with the Force in life, we will remain one with the Force after our body may die.

Hi
› You have been marked as being away.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• had been teaching a class on animal kindness to a group of younglings in the Praxeum. The children would thank Master Rane and head on their way. He encouraged Jedi and those who are force sensitive to reach out to animals - they are not to be overlooked for their usefullness. He would then head out of the classroom and wander the cooridors of the Prax.
₪Âkkålå₪ was standing just outside the Praxeum practicing, and trying to be smooth like her Master, on calling her saber hilt to her hand from her hip, and igniting it fluidly... for the most part it was going well, this being the third hour in a row... and a few singes on her robes...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would emerge from the Praxeum to find his student, to his delight, practicing with her saber. "Ah, Akkala. Good day, padawan." He would bow to her. "Glad to see you practicing."
₪Âkkålå₪ had just caught her saber and hit the button to ignite it when Charles spoke, and she jumped, only slightly, but dropped the saber "Shoot!" and it flew right back to her hand "So much for being and ace with being mindful of my surroundings... Good day Master Rane."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would smile as she was able to recover the blade quickly. "Draw your blade. Set it to stun. Let's see what you're made of." Instantly, his own hilt would fly into his hands and his bright canary yellow blade would hum to life.
₪Âkkålå₪ she nodded sharply and the grass green blade shot to life, and she quickly set it on stun. She hesitated only a moment and gripping the hilt with both hands, held the blade out infront of herself, the blade up and tilted slightly to her right
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would lunge, swinging his blade in vertical motion, up over her head and trying to slam down onto the crown of her head. "Have you been reading the Jedi code?" he asked in between attacks.
₪Âkkålå₪ she quickly brought her blade up over her head horizontally, so their blades would meet in the middle, suspened over her head before his could certainly give her a good whack... "Uh... the code yes, but I'll admit, just briefly.."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• As their blades buzzed at the contact, he held the positioning of the two blades. Then, with his right leg, he would kick at her left ankle. "And? Remember any lines yet?"
₪Âkkålå₪ didnt want to remove her blade's position, and absent mindedly just picked up her left leg, now standing like a flamingo bird..."Ah... There is no peace.... NO! oh, there is no emotion, there IS peace!"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would remove his blade from hers and then making a stabbing motion towards her stomach with his own, putting all of his force behind it. "And what does that mean to you?" he asked, looking into her eyes the entire time of the spar.
₪Âkkålå₪ "Well..." she dropped her foot and pivoted on her right foot, moving her stomach out of the blade's point, it would just stab air in front of her, but awfully close to her dislike..." I'm not sure I agree... I mean, we all have emotions... It isnt literal, then, is it?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would quickly move his blade horizontally towards her stomach once more, that had just stepped out of his reach. "Yes, we all have emotions. But it is important, -so- important to be able to control them as a Jedi. Never let your enemy smell your fear. Never let your emotions blind you. You may do something you may regret. Draw upon the peace of the Force to help you control your emotions."
₪Âkkålå₪ distracted to the fullest now, didnt react to his blade quick enough and it would hit her across the stomach and she stepped back "That makes more sense that way..." she said rubbing at her stomach. "So the force can help us draw away from the wrong emotions, through peace, in any situation?" and she would lunge foward just enough to hit his outer left shoulder with the long of her blade (i am sooo rusty in saber fighting... i hope that was ok)
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would quickly bring his blade up parallel with his body, in front of his left shoulder, succesfully blocking her hit. "That's correct. Many Jedi are stuffy old farts and say that we should show/have no emotions whatsoever.. but hey, we're human. We're allowed to feel. Just don't let it lead to irrational behavior you would not otherwise engage in. Such actions can lead to the dark side."
₪Âkkålå₪ creating a half circle from the his shoulder out and down, she brought her saber to hit him on the outside of his left leg instead, sround about the knee... "I think I may be skipping a line of the code, but how is There is no passion, there is serenity different than emotion and peace?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would then move his saber in the same position it had been in, only this time the top point was facing the ground. The blades would sizzle upon impact. "They are similiar. Don't let your passions overtake you. Don't let them run your lives. Listen to the Force for guidance."
₪Âkkålå₪ she would step to face him again, and only then move her blade... bring it back away from him and from her starting position, (held out infront of her, tip up and tilted slightly to the her left) she brought it down in a simple clean slash that would make contact at his right shoulder and follow down to his left hip "And if we are truly one with the Force, we live on even after the body dies away, right?" she hoped that made sense
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would simply crouch and roll away to the left, springing to his feet and facing her (hope that's valid lol). "Something like that. We become one with the force." He would disengage his saber. "I think that's enough sparring, do you agree?"
₪Âkkålå₪ she nodded and let her saber fall to her side as she turned it off and took a few breaths "Good enough then." she added with a slight smile, and hoped she wasnt too terrible
•Jedi•Master•Rane• nods. "Have you any questions?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Yes. what is your veiw on the second line of the code? No one can be perfect, and there fore, we cant be completely free from ignorance... even if we do continue to learn... I mean, its like a neverending cycle.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "We as humans are ignorant. And we are always learning. Even as a Jedi Master, I'm learning new lessons every day. You will never know everything. Remember what I said the other day? The more you know, the more you realize you don't know."
₪Âkkålå₪ she nodded "Yes, that is why i am confused. there will always be ignorance."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "If you're aware of your own ignorance.. is that then truly ignorance?" he asks with a quirked brow. "Admitting you are ignorant does not make you ignorant. It shows your wisdom." He would set his hilt back onto his belt.
₪Âkkålå₪ : Well, I guess that does change things a bit...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would cross his arms over his chest, smiling kindly upon his padawan. "Tell me more of your questions. Your thoughts."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Hmm... Well, I know Dabiz is in a relationship... Is that allowed, I mean, I dont question his actions, I just thought you were discouraged from romantic relationships.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "As am I." He would flash a wedding band. Even though they weren't married yet. That was such a long story, anyhow. "Padawans are. It is strictly forbidden for a padawan to become romantically involved with anyone. Which I understand completely, because a padawan should be focusing on their studies, the trials."
₪Âkkålå₪ I agree. Nor do I plan on letting some guy stand in my-- Oh, I dont mean to say that all guys are like that..." she felt a little embarassed
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Stand in your..?"
₪Âkkålå₪ way..." she said rather meekly
•Jedi•Master•Rane• smiles. "No harm in voicing your opinion. Please do not hesitate to do so in my presence. Let your voice be heard!"
₪Âkkålå₪ : I dont hesitate my opinions, I just didnt want to sound like... well, a man hater.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "You don't." He would hesitate, a silence lingering in the air. He would begin to walk towards the lake, motioning for her to follow him. ".. have you a bad history with men?"
₪Âkkålå₪ she walked with him "No... but my father was always honest with me... gave me a great perspective on the many views of the male species. he wanted me to know what I would be getting into once i ever started courting."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• grins. "Yes. Be careful.. when and if you court. Especially with younger men. We all know what they're after." He would smile, folding his hands together as they neared the water's surface. His mind would wander to the courtship of his lover and he.
₪Âkkålå₪ So, how did you meet your wife? " as they walked...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "We haven't tied the knot quite yet.. we met serving in the palace together. She was a hand maiden to the princess, Janar." He smirked. "I worked my rear off for permission to court her. She was very proper. Ah well."
₪Âkkålå₪ Is she still on Naboo?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• "She is still serving in the palace as a hand maiden." He would notice her watching Damion. Lowering his voice: "Beware that man. Ladies man. One of my oldest friends, quite a charmer. Married too. I think."
₪Âkkålå₪ she turned bright red, and could feel it too "Oh, I..." she said looking back ahead of herself "I will, then."
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would wink in Damion's direction, as he and his companion would continue walking. "Fliratious.. but very loyal. A powerful friend. One of my best."
₪Âkkålå₪ nodded "Do you get to travel many places?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• could sense the dark presence of Nya but would continue to walk in the opposite direction. "I've done some traveling, yes. My most frequented place of interest is Dantooine. I shall take you there sometime. A lovely Jedi academy resides there. It's a wonderful place to study. One of the only places known where you can find lightsaber crystals naturally growing."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Oh! I would love that, very much... Can you tell i've never left Theed?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• would look to her. "You've not? Well then, we have some adventures ahead of us then." They would continue on, past the lake and back towards the city of Theed.
₪Âkkålå₪ Sadly, I have not. I have always want to visit Felucia, the pictures are so pretty! And Coruscant... oh I have heard tales of the shopping...." she couldnt help that last one slip out
•Jedi•Master•Rane• grins. "Then you would love Coruscant, I'm sure. They have good fighting matches too, if you're into that sort of thing. And the shopping too," he says with a wink. Charles would make a mental note to find some type of fake Jedi business to take her to Coruscant.
₪Âkkålå₪ she laughed "Fighting? I'm not sure about that... but I'd not turn down seeing a match, you only live once!"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• smiles. "Surely. Listen to me, padawan." As they walked the still bustling streets of Theed. "Did you detect the dark presence back by the lake?" he asked quizzically.
₪Âkkålå₪ she paused for a moment "I heard a disturbance... in the symphony, around the lake... It was like a muffling noise, like when one loses their hearing. Was it the female?"
•Jedi•Master•Rane• nods. "Yes, it was. A powerful Dark Sider. One who has a reputation for stirring up trouble. And as Jedi, it is our duty to avoid unnecessary conflict. That's why we left. Do you understand?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : So, no one tries to stop her?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Better to not even entertain."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Entertain? What? The Jedi actually ridding Theed of another Darksider? Why not...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Don't forget about the freedom to practice whatever religion you should choose that is here on Theed."
₪Âkkålå₪ : But if she is so infamous for stirring up trouble, isn't that cause enough?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "The point is not to provoke her into breaking the law. Trust me.. there've been many attempts over the years by others to rid Naboo of Dark Siders. Some have worked, others have not. But overall, it's just better to avoid a conflict."
₪Âkkålå₪ : That doesnt seem right to me...
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Even worse, she, or another dark sider for that matter, may provoke -you- into doing something you may regret. That's the real risk."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I can't see how the darkside would look appealing... then again, I guess many of those turned have said that at one time or another.
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Oh, don't underestimate the seduction of the dark side. It isn't just.. doing wrong. It's serving yourself, being selfish. Gratifying yourself. Doing as you please. That life style is appealing to those who don't have the will inside themselves to see the Light and to help others."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I can understand that I suppose... But the prospect of everything ending in horrible death and destruction... is that what they dont foresee?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Foresee?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Yes. As in, thats what they dont expect to happen to them. They think all that power they are promised will give them ultimate protection or something... like indestructable gods?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Some of them think that, sure. I cant be certain.. I don't know their thoughts. They certainly have that attitude though. That smug, I'm better than you attitude."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Arrogance... Generally strong in the dark Jedis, right?
•Jedi•Master•Rane• : "Indeed. Indeed."

RP #2
JM¤Charles¤Rane had risen from a deep sleep some hours ago, his mind racing at a million light years a minute. Elyssia was still resting, and Charles did not wish to disturb her. Quietly, he would move into the refresher and shower.. and shave. And take a pair of clippers and cut his own hair. A daughter. His. That was all he could think about. He would call a few old friends back at the palace and make arrangements for all of them to be accomidated. Charles had always been welcome there. Emerging from the refresher, he would sit silently in a lavish love seat by the window, watching Elyssia. Quietly he would take his boots and begin to shine them. It was like a ritual. He was getting ready for something.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier rouses from sleep to see him by the window, the early morning sunlight shining through, illuminating him in a soft hazy glow. She sat up, yawning, stretching, completely relaxed. She slides out of the bed and moves over to him, kisses his forehead then heads off to the refesher to shower and get dressed herself. Despite it being such a nervewracking day ahead of them, for the moment she was serene and calm, probably because she had absolute faith in him that he would be able to do this.
₪Âkkålå₪ was in her room at the Prax, emptying the 8 or 9 large shopping bags that she had just returned from Coruscant with... all new robes! Formal ones, ones for things like sparring and just going out and about in Theed... traveling cloaks and formal cloaks too! She couldnt believe the shopping on Coruscant, and made up her mind to return every week or so...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would return her kiss and go back to shining his shoes. Still, the Jedi Master could not calm his nerves. What would keep him from losing his mind when he arrived? Finishing up his boots, he would put them on. Standing, he would reach for his comm, dialing his puddlewan. ~vc~ "Akkala." I hope you're on Naboo.
₪Âkkålå₪ she dove on her bed in a pile of clothes and dug for her comm ~vc~ Good timing Master...~ she said in a sing song voice
JM¤Charles¤Rane would put her on speaker and begin dressing himself. He wasn't wearing his usual white and grey. No, no. Today he adorned biege pants and a dark brown tunic. A brown leather belt to match that of his boots. One could definitely sense that Charles was in another world today. ~vc~ "I need your help."
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier returns from the refesher with her hair dried and pulled back with a beige scarf. She wears beige tight leggings, thigh high brown boots and a long thin sweater, beneath it across her hips a small belt with a blaster and a knife. Not the she thought she needed them, but just in case. She sat on the edge of the bed, listening to him.
₪Âkkålå₪ ~vc~ My help? What kind of help?~ immediately trying to find something to wear... but what kind of day would this be? She wanted to ask, but knew it wouldnt matter....
JM¤Charles¤Rane ~vc~ "Yes. I need you to help me rescue my daughter. Bring your saber. And your blaster. I'll send you the coordinates when I arrive." That was all he said before hanging up. He would step over to the dresser and open a drawer that was rarely used. Inside, he would find a beautiful pair of brown leather gloves. Taking his time, he would slip them on, and them make a fist.. the leather making a stretching sound that only leather can make. He would turn to Elyssia, stepping over to her and kissing her
JM¤Charles¤Rane cheek. "Are you ready to go?"
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier smiles adoringly up at him "Yes." She stands and wraps her arms around him, kissing his cheek "This is the happiest day of my life," she whispers against his mouth, just before kissing him.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would return her kiss, savoring it before releasing her lips. "Wedding bands when I come back. With Lydia, of course," he says, forcing a smile. "Lead the way."
₪Âkkålå₪ "crap" she muttered to herself, and fished out a new set of robes... these were a deep sapphire blue, made of thick silk and embroidered with shimmery blue paisely patterns. Mid change into them she stopped "A daughter?!... wow..." and then finished getting dressed, pinning her long red curls atop her head in a neat, tight bun. She cliped her new saber to her hip and grabbed her traveling cloak, of course it was blue to >
₪Âkkålå₪ < match her robes, and she fastedned it across her chest with a large sapphire stone. Putting the hood up to rest atop her head, she left her room and would wait to hear from Master Rane.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier leads him outside to the speeder, sliding into the passenger seat. "We are picking up your padawan first?" She gave a glance to the cottage, thinking about all of the packing she'd have to do before they moved into the palace. A part of her would miss the place, especially since they had such a wonderful night ...well, late last night anyhow.
₪Âkkålå₪ she would wait outside the Prax, not knowing where to meet her master yet.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would follow, slipping into the driver's side. "She'll meet us there. Put the coordinates into the speeder while I call Ja'nar." He says, leaning over to kiss her cheek before taking out his comm and dialing the Princess of Naboo. ~vc~ "Ja'nar." Something he very rarely called her. It was usually Princess or Your Majesty or something.
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå stood in the center of her cottage just beyond the palace walls as she looks at the living room. It was bothering her, she was having a furinture crisis. No one ever understood what made Ja'nar get so crazy...~vc~Hey there sexy Jedi Master~ she chimes back to him, meaning Ja'nar was in an unusually good mood again, as she places her hands on the back of the couch and starts to try and push it.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : ~vc~ "I need help."
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå : ~vc~ Finally admit to it~
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå : ~vc~ Finally you admit to it~
JM¤Charles¤Rane : ~vc~ "Can you make some accomodations in the palace for Elyssia and myself.. and our daughter?"
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå would blink a bit looking at her comm ~vc~ Uh yea...I can snag a suite near mine...daughter?~ she asks as she looks at the couch and sticks her tongue out at it. She would take care of the large piece of furinture later.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier grins as she hears Ja'nar. She enters the coordinates to the Praxeum, then to a forest somewhere in the mountains where the Grelorians were last located. She had a feeling they hadn't moved on yet because they were expecting her any day for a new assignement and she hadn't gotten the word to meet them in a new location.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would then immediately move to text those coordinates to Akkala. ~vc~ "Yes, Ja'nar. Near yours would be preferable. And you heard me correct. I need one more thing.. are any of your bodyguards available? I need someone to escort Elyssia back to the palace."
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå : ~vc~ I can give you Anthony for the evening, though I cannot promise he will not try to sleep with her, I could send the two Necros...you choose~
JM¤Charles¤Rane : ~vc~ "Will you and whatever henchmen you can round up meet us? Please?"
₪Âkkålå₪ her comm would beep with the coordinates and she would make her way there... thankfully she had a fabulous GPS on her new datacomm...
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier : You're not taking me with you..?
JM¤Charles¤Rane would look over to her. "Don't you think that's a bit too dangerous?" he asks, moving to place his gloved hand over hers.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier furrows her brows. Perhaps it was too dangerous, if she were there he would be forced to divide his attention trying to protect her while trying to get to Lydia. "Well. Alright. I just thought....but yeah. You're right." She kisses his cheek. "For good luck."
JM¤Charles¤Rane : The speeder would stop. They would wait for Janar and her entourage to arrive, and Akkala as well. "Ja'nar and her men are coming to escort you back to the palace. I won't be long.
JM¤Charles¤Rane The speeder would stop. They would wait for Janar and her entourage to arrive, and Akkala as well. "Ja'nar and her men are coming to escort you back to the palace. I won't be long."
₪Âkkålå₪ she would arrive just as her master pulled up... "Master Rane... " she called to him as she walked over
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier reluctantly slides out of the speeder "Okay. You be safe...and bring our baby girl home." She throws her arms around him impulsively, suddenly feeling choked with emotion. She smothers his face with kisses before running off towards the palace.
Elyssia¤R¤Meurtrier : am AFK for one hour)
JM¤Charles¤Rane would be smothered in kisses before moving out of the speeder to bow to Akkala. "Padawan. Thank you for coming." Indeed, Charles was in a strange mood. Anger was eminating from him. He was dressed much differently than usual.
₪Âkkålå₪ She looked at him for a moment.... "Master, Do you need a moment... you know, to calm down? What is wrong?" she asked only to him, under her breath
JM¤Charles¤Rane would open his mouth to say something, something very rude, but he stopped himself. Gods, what was happening to him. Control. Control. Emotions. Control. He would take a breath. "Thank you for your concern, Akkala. I'm fine. Another moment she's in their with them is a moment I can't afford. Are you ready?" he asks, but he starts off in the direction of the camp without even waiting for an answer.
₪Âkkålå₪ Yes." she replied uncertain of her master's 'okay' status "Care to fill me in a bit though?"
JM¤Charles¤Rane They would begin hiking the trails. "Are you familiar with the anti royalists?" he asks, peering off into the distance off and on, keeping his senses about him. They would come into view of a huge camp. Charles would duck behind a tree, studying it. Power generators. Fools.
₪Âkkålå₪ She stopped along with Charles near the tree "I know very little about them..." she pushed her hood back off her head now "Why? Do they have your daughter?'
JM¤Charles¤Rane nods. "Yes. I didn't even know I had a daughter until last night. They've been holding her captive, making Elyssia.. work for them, gathering intel. I'll stand for no more of it. How dare they." He would look over to her. "Listen to me. This goes against everything the Jedi teach, and perhaps I am wrong to make such a statement.. but what were we, before we were Jedi? We are humans. Man and woman. And certain things are not acceptable when it comes to families." Gods, there was so much of the Jedi teachings
JM¤Charles¤Rane he really disagreed with, but whatever. "Anyway. She's being held captive in there. We need to extract her. Without spilling any blood." Even though he would love to spill as much blood as possible. Control, Charles.. self control.
₪Âkkålå₪ Yes, but, wouldnt more help from the council be appropriate? Not even Jedi Masters are perfect in keeping with the rules of the Jedi path... Master, I don't want you to do something you regret here..." she was genuinely worried about him now "This maybe to close to your heart to act and think clearly as a Jedi should..."
JM¤Charles¤Rane What council, he wants to ask her. The non existant Jedi Council? It was just a fabrication. There were only three Jedi on the council that weren't in utter seclusion, himself included. "I'm fine. You can leave if you like," he says, though that wasn't meant to be hurtful towards her. "If not, I think it's time we get down to business. I'm not here to massacre them. I just want to get my child and leave."
₪Âkkålå₪ No, I'm here to help my master..." though she knew now her real duty was to keep him from doing anything out of the wrong emotions.... and that is exactly what she would do
JM¤Charles¤Rane nods, though he could sense her hesitation. She would learn one day. Where he was coming from. "Good." He would look to Janar. "Janar. Go do what you do best. Go seduce them. Show some skin. Distract them. Poison their minds with the thought of your bare flesh." He would turn back to Akkala. "There a several power generators around the camp. Render them useless. At least for the time being."
₪Âkkålå₪ She nodded, but before leaving him, she would reach for his hand "Master, no matter what, let the Force be with you..." she smiled softly... even masters needed things like that from time to time "It is stronger than us, and you'll do right by it." and she would let his hand go and make her way towards the first generator, hilt in hand now...
JM¤Charles¤Rane "May the Force be with you," he says simply as she bustles off. He would watch Janar saunter over to the guards and couldn't help but stifle a laugh. "Hey!" one of them would call out, and a few of them would rush over to her. They would stop though in their tracks, just kind of watching her. "... err.. what are you doing here!" They were obviously distracted. Charles would snap his fingers, and using the Force, he would turn completely and utterly invisible using level 4 Force Cloak. One of the many
JM¤Charles¤Rane plus sides to being a Jedi Master. He would simply walk past Janars little seduction session towards the buildings. Towards the prison building.
₪Âkkålå₪ as the guards were distracted, she was able to get to the first few generators with ease.... removing the main panels, she simply ran the control panels through with the blade of her saber... of course she could just use the switches, but this would ensure they couldnt be just turned back on...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would begin moving through the camp in complete silence. Ducking behind one of the buildings, he would drop his guise and gather his surroundings. He would reach out to Akkala through the force. It would be the first time he would talk to her using the Force. ~vf~ "Test test. Can you hear me, padawan?" he would silenly ask, before spying a guard. Instanly, Charles would call on transmutation level 4 and instanly become one of the guards.
₪Âkkålå₪ The generators, one by one, would be shorted out... And just as she was removing she heard her master's voice... "Master?" she said aloud and spun around to find three guards anout 15 ft behind her... "Oh crap..." she said as one fired a blaster bolt at her... and the other two ran at her. She instictively brought her saber blade to block the bolt and it shot off, hitting one of the guards running at her and he fell over. By the time the other guard got to her, she was ready with a horizontal slice right through his stomach... "Oh, my!" she had surprised herself... But another shot was fired by the last standing guard and it hit her left arm... but being she was kicked in full gear she ran towards him, saber aloft... once close enough she whipped her blade down, cutting of the blaster weilding hand. switching her saber to her left hand briefly, she punched the guard right in the nose and knocked him out. When he fell to the ground she quickly hog tied him and relieved him of his comm and weapons.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would walk through the hospital ward of the camp. A doctor would eye him suspiciously. Glancing around, and making sure that no one was watching, Charles, in disguise, would grab the doctor by his collar and duck with him into an empty room. The guile would drop. Charles would be exposed to the doctor. "A.. A Jedi? Here? .... you...!" Charles would grit his teeth menacingly. "Yes, it is I," he says. With his hands still on the man's collar, he would call upon the Force, using a mental force suggestion
₪Âkkålå₪ would stop momentarily, now guard free... trying to find her master in the force...
JM¤Charles¤Rane level 4, so strong that no one could resist. At least, not a mere non force using doctor. And it wasn't just -any- suggestion either. Charles would pouring all of his Force energy into this. "Where is Lydia. Where is the child. " His voice was like a serpent, wrapping around the truth.. pulling it from the very lips of the doctor, his prey. The doctor trembled a moment before whispering into Charles' ears. Satisfied, Charles would nod.. giving him another suggestion. "You've had a long day. It's time for
JM¤Charles¤Rane bed. This is also a dream." The man would nod and slink off.. not even looking back, almost in a zombie like state. "Hmph." Charles would mumble. Once again, he would cover himself with a force cloak level 4 and sneakily move on through the hospital. The power would flicker on and off as the generators were taken out. The hospital staff would be confused, up in arms. They would bustle about, trying to figure out what was going on. Finally, stopping in front of a room, Charles would drop his disguise once
JM¤Charles¤Rane more before pushing into the room. This was it. Time to see his daughter.. face to face. To his dismay, he found her.. along with the Elder that Elyssia had told him about.
₪Âkkålå₪ she moved off towards the main camp entrance... of course, she stayed hidden fairly well, and there were only two guards here. She stood and walked over to them, putting on the lost wanderer act... injured to boot! The Guards met her well before the entrace... "My speeder... it crashed just outside the forest." she panted and said sweetly, pointing in the direction of the city "I was trying to follow directions from my friends, they are camping in the forest this week. I got lost and I'm afraid I'm >
₪Âkkålå₪ injured... can you help me? please?" she pouted, holding her shoulder. The Guards looked to eachother and one motioned for her to follow, and she did, following him to the hospital facility...
JM¤Charles¤Rane already. Gods.. she really did have his eyes and chin. And that was Elyssia's nose. Lydia would outreach her arms for him, and Charles would try to move for her, but the Elder spoke, stopping Charles. "Don't take another step, Jedi, or I'll shoot her." He would flash a blaster. "I was wondering how long it would take that miserable little wench of yours to tell you the truth." The Elder would inch closer to Charles. "It was gross, you know. Seeing her go into labor early like that. Her dress, her body.. a
JM¤Charles¤Rane bloody mess. We were tempted to put her out of her misery. She was crying for you the entire time. And where were you?" Charles remained still the entire time as the Elder inched closer and closer to the Jedi. "Go on, Jedi. Strike me down. Go against your beliefs. In front of your own daughter. Where were you for your lover? She is ours now, you know.." And with that, Charles would reach out, grabbing the Elder's hand, squeezing it. "Go to sleep," Charles would hiss into the Elder's ear, calling every ounce
₪Âkkålå₪ Once an empty corridor of the hospital, she delivered a swift chop to the back of the guards neck, drug him into a closet and changed into his uniform... thankfully, she was able to stuff her robes into his backpack. She left the closet and jammed the door shut... following her master's now strong presence....
JM¤Charles¤Rane of strength he had and using the force to induce sleep level 4 on the Elder. Immediately, the Elder would crumple back into his rocking chair where he came from. Shaking his head, Charles would turn to Lydia who was still watching from the floor. "They'll never learn, hm?" he asks, and the baby grins, giggling. Moving over to her, he would easily scoop her up in his arms and pull her to him. "Da.." she says, gripping the collar of his tunic. Charles would smile. "Yes, that's right. You are very
JM¤Charles¤Rane wise. You know me already, don't you? Let's go. Mother is waiting for us." ~vf~ "It's time to leave," he would communicate to his padawan. The place was in disarray, people were scrambling to get the power back on and figure out what was going on. All the while Charles would put force coak level 4 to cover him and the child and make his way out of the camp.
₪Âkkålå₪ She had come to the room her master was in as soon as he was picking up the baby girl and Akkala cleared her throat lightly... "Come with me.... Jedi..." she said to keep her cover incase others might be near
₪Âkkålå₪ she would then walk with them, as if leading them somewhere... "Out this way..." she said motioning him to a side exit
JM¤Charles¤Rane would follow blindly, he was just staring at the child in his arms. They would pass by Janar, who was still entertaining. "Come on, Janar, time to go." Charles would flick his wrist in the direction of the guards, sending a force push at them. They would fall unconscious.
₪Âkkålå₪ she would walk on still ahead of her master and child, the guards blaster in her hand, just for good measure, until they were well away from the camp and out of the forest.... she would then remove the guard helmet once the speeders were in view. Turning to look back at Charles "Lets just hurry and get you back to the palace Master.... you'll be much safer there, I'll drive...." it was a bit more of an order, but she needed him to just stay safe with the child now...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would toss the keys to Akkala. "I hope you drive well. Let's get out of here," he says before getting into the back of the speeder with Lydia in his lap. He would motion for Janar to join in sitting next to them. "Thank you for coming," he says, still looking to Lydia, amazed.. he had a daughter. "Who do you think she looks more like? I see Elyssia's nose.."
₪Âkkålå₪ she caught the keys and got into the driver seat of the speeder and once all were in the speeder, she would pull off into the streets.... she was a very safe driver, and went just fast enough to get them away.
JM¤Charles¤Rane would look down to Lydia before offering her to Janar. "Meet Janar, your auntie," Charles says to the baby, who is already reaching for Janar. "Jaaahhhhhhhhhh......." says Lydia, smiling a toothless grin. "I think she likes you."
JM¤Charles¤Rane would watch them play together. Yes, Janar would make a good godmother, he thought. If Elyssia approved. "I hope your feelings aren't hurt that Elyssia didn't tell you. I mean.. she didn't even tell me," he says, shaking his head.
₪Âkkålå₪ She would make it to the palace in no time, parking infront of the palace now... awesome spots reserved for Jedi Masters.... and would get out of the speeder, waiting to walk in with her Master
JM¤Charles¤Rane would get out of the speeder and come around to open the door for Janar and Lydia. "No, it's all right. She likes you. ... I don't even know how to hold a baby," he admits sheepishly, meanwhile, Lydia plays with Janars necklace all the while making baby noises. As he waits for Janar to show them to their new place, Charles would turn to Akkala. "Thank you. For everything. I won't take up any more of your time. Your next homework assignment is under water breathing," he says with a wink. "Have fun mastering
JM¤Charles¤Rane that."
₪Âkkålå₪ She nodded, and would leave them...
***
RP#3
JM¤Charles¤Rane would be on the terrace, sipping a cup of caff. His daughter was being watched by a trusted hand maiden tonight back in his quarters at the palace. Charles was just enjoying some time by himself.
₪Âkkålå₪ made her way to the terrace, for no reason at all, but she spotted her master and she walked over "Master Rane..."
JM¤Charles¤Rane would set his cup of caff down before standing, bowing to his padawan. "Ah, Akkala. Please. Won't you join me?" he offers her a chair.
₪Âkkålå₪ Thanks." she sat "So, how is the little one?"
JM¤Charles¤Rane would smile, waving Ron over to come and take her drink order. "Oh, she's just fine. Thank you for asking. She barely cries. Just when she wants to be held and fed, really. She's quite.. easy." He would sip his caff. "I must apologize for my behavior those weeks ago. I was not myself." Duma, I didn't even know I had a daughter. "I was wrong to act the way I did. It was very un Jedi like."
₪Âkkålå₪ she ordered a jasmine tea "Don't apologize Master, I am just glad I was there to help. No Jedi is perfect."
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå would sit there for a moment looking to them "I am very paranoid" she says softly. She would give him the little kiss as he leaves "Don't get into any trouble" she would look to Amelia...
JM¤Charles¤Rane would pick up a spoon and stir his caff. "No, they are not. No one is perfect. I hope you realize that and don't beat yourself up too badly when you make a mistake. We are human, and have been human before we were Jedi. Do you understand what I'm saying?" he would tentatively sip his caff. "I think the part of the Jedi code that most struggle with is the emotions part. It's hard to bury them, or deny them. Especially when the subject of family comes into play."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I think its best that we simply learn to control them, right? I mean, thats what makes most sense. Like you said, We were human first.
JM¤Charles¤Rane "Exactly. It is impossible not to feel emotions, but it is impossible to control them. I wanted to kill the man holding my daughter.. instead I put him to sleep," he says with a wink, taking another sip.
₪Âkkålå₪ That is what's important then... what you did do... not what you wanted to do. It's all hindsight, right? And you've learned from it." she smiled softly before taking a drink of her tea
Jąŋåŗ°ĿąĈęŕřå would look out into the trees as she hears the screech then looks to Amelia...
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Indeed. I'm sorry I've been scarce. How are your studies coming along? Memorize that code yet?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Yes. And I am certain I have mastered underwater breathing as much as I think I can...
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Oh? Good. Because as you know, one of the many roles a Jedi must play is that of a peace keeper. Do you agree?"
₪Âkkålå₪ : Of course. But not a solider... I'd imagine there is a fine line with that.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Indeed, indeed. Jedi are often times called to.. what's the word I'm looking for."
₪Âkkålå₪ : I would think that a Jedi would be the right fit for that. As we are supposed to be just that, looking at things from an outside view.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Exactly. And that's why I've tasked you with learning under water breathing. It seems a few Gungan tribes are at odds with each other. We're going to have to go play mediator sometime in the next few weeks."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Really? We are making a trip to them... underwater?
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "That's right. Not tonight, but soon. I mean, unless you don't want to go."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Of course I wish to join you.
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Good. I don't really know what to expect."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Do we have a reason for the dispute?
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Mostly land."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Land? I thought they all lived underwater...
JM¤Charles¤Rane : "Of course they do. But hunting grounds and such. Places where they gather food. It's under dispute."
₪Âkkålå₪ : Hmm.. I see. Well, I think it should be a great learning experience for us both.
