FREE CANDY FOR ADVENTURE

Yes that was the best slogan she could work with as the jedi knight was sitting there and tinkering. She had been working with the others on a few things but this right here was where the real fun began with it. She could work to infuse her skills with beast taming into some of these small spherical talismans for others to carry around and well without hurting creatures to scare them away they could just capture and order them to leave. Something harmless and the talismans would be disposable after their initial bonding with a creature.... But in order to do that she needed to work with some of the padawans to get their ideas on it as the offer of free candy and sweets came. She had plenty from her private stash so all was good.

He was skeptical on the adventure part.

An adventure was the kind of damn fool ideological crusade meant for half-wits and Jedi Guardians. Note, the two may not be easily discerned one from the other.

As a Jedi Archaeologist, the young Anzat did not 'adventure.' He might, on occasion, where strict academic approaches were insufficient in arriving at the requisite level of detail, conduct field work. Said field work may involve spelunking through Primeval temple ruins, outrunning pelko bug swarms, or finding novel solutions to the problem of Sith Undead outbreaks. But that was not 'adventure', it was research.

Yes, there was a difference.

So, as he looked at the advertisement, the boy was skeptical about the adventure part.

He definitely liked the idea of free candy, though. That should definitely be more of a common reward than it was. 'A Jedi does not act for reward, SJ.' 'Let go your material desire for unhealthy snack options, SJ.' He could hear the voice of his former master now.

And, just as before, he completely ignored it. Because candy.

Why candy? Of all the things to offer to a Jedi padawan who may be looking for something useful to do, this Snowfire offered candy. Why? I had no idea. But, it was too tempting not to pass up.

Walking over, I had thought about how a grizzled old man would look as he stuck his hand into the bowl of candy and be warranted to help this Jedi knight with whatever she happened to need.

It was just too good to pass up. Wanted to grab some candy, maybe some for my kids, and then help someone in the process.

Win win situation there.

Free candy gets them everytime as she was standign there. Seeing the two of them and her jet black boots going up into a traditional twi'lek styled outfit. Carefully placed so it allowed itself to breath and not encumber while in hot places but could still give a level of modesty if needed. She enjoyed being out there in the jungle but sometimes you did have to come back while the materials were there and the artisan's were working on it. Leina getting a small pack of gummi worm candies and slurping one of them as she spoke. "Oh thank you thank you for coming." Her one lekku twitching just a little with the golden circlet on it for th force imbued environmental protection and her saber was on her hip. Engraved gold with ancient sigils of unicorns and marshmellow rainbows. The unstable containment when she use it making it look like glitter fell from it for the overall effect as the jedi knight spoke. "Oh thank you, thank you for coming. We are going to have such fun and oh look fluffy the V has joined us." She said it pointing to the table where the pouch with the rock in it and there was a pause. "I don't know, not many know how to talk to things..... Yes you can have some of the soda."

The Willy Wonka of the Silver Sanctum Coalition turned out to be a Lethan Twi'lek.

...and, like all Twi'lek that the young Anzat had ever met, she seemed about as modest as a nudist. It was a facet of their culture that had stuck with the preteen Jedi ever since he'd had to raise a thirteen year old padawan around then Jedi Knight Aayla Secula. Of course, Sor-Jan's first padawan had also been Twi'lek, a Rutian, and someone that the Anzat had known in the Jedi Temple from the time that the padawan had been a toddler. And Sor-Jan had lived to see that toddler grow to become a Jedi Knight, perhaps an ever better Jedi than the Anzat could ever hope to be.

And an even better friend.

So, as one might well imagine, Twi'leks held a special place in the boy's heart. Or they would, if he had one. Medical science was still very confused as to whether Anzat's did or didn't. Even if so, he didn't have a heartbeat, so it was more or less a moot anatomical point.

She was also rather eccentric, with a rock that she seemed to have given a name to. More to that fact, the empathic vampire was picking up psychic impressions from the beholden paper weight on the table, so it might very well be a consciousness of some kind. It was still a rock and, thus, a least a little crazy.

But there was candy.

Which, he would apparently be sharing, as a tall, broad, and scruffy looking man cut in on the boy's profits. By the look of him, he would be a Jedi Guardian. Either that or someone had misplaced the defensive lineman from the Voss-Ka Professional Grav-Ball team.

"There's soda?" the boy asked, piping up on the tail end of Leina's last statement.

Hey, candy was dandy, but soda could get a sugar high going much, much quicker!

Leina looked at Sor with a nod of her head as her lekku twitched when she got a bottle for herself. "Oh yes it is some of the best stuff to have." She could do a lot of work on force stuff and studying when she had a twelve pack of soda for the night. "It is so much the best thing to have for training and stuff.... you can go all night." She was almost vibrating now while watching some of the things with a great deal of attention. "So we are going to work on these." She was looking at them and displayed the prototype of what it was. "These will be beast talismans, little balls that can be used to help learning how to and controlling animals. With the right work at it we can pour enough for energies into them so the talismans.will work. They might not be able to control entire species but one creature per should do the trick."

 

[Sor-Jan Xantha]

They were making talismans.

There was nothing like opening a case of soda and sitting back to... wait, what?

"Force imbue," the Jedi Archaeologist mused aloud, trying to follow the woman's line of thought and finding that he didn't understand it at all. He knew the theory of talisman or Force imbued objects. But Sor-Jan was a scientist, and this was one of the more 'hocus pocus' and mumbo-jumbo aspects of the Jedi Arts. So, he'd never spent much time thinking about it, and had some difficulty in taking it seriously.

But, that could just be his pragmatic, Corellian side poking through. Hokey religions and funky Force bling were no match for a good lightsaber by your side.

"Would it matter the type of beast?" the boy wondered aloud, trying to fathom the actual mechanics of how such a device would operate. "And would size matter?"

Looking at him as he spoke she gave a nod of her head for it. "The goal is to have the size not matter and we are going to work on it but I know it could be hard. My skills with plant surge though have been paying off in making fertilizer to grow food. My skills with taming creatures can work well." She said it while looking around and eating some gummy worms while holding the small metal talismans. Matsu had been working with them to imbue them and leina was working with them to give it that push of force energy extra from someone who could use it well. "The bigger the creature the more power it will take, we might be working on different sizes." She was focusing on it and there were a whole lot of creatures they could test it on, who knew maybe get it right and train one to sneak into the kitchen and steal the candies they get.

 

[Sor-Jan Xantha]

The young Anzat was still a little skeptical.

...though, if it worked, it might be kind of astral to go back to Korriban and try to tame a terentatek. Forget rancor, that was 12 tonnes of raging bull! The Sith might see a Jedi coming, they might even see an Antarian Ranger coming, but when a terentatek showed up fighting against the dark side -- fang and claw, oozing poison, and dribbling acidic spit -- nope, they wouldn't see that coming!

He doubted very much that either of the Masters Heavenshield would approve of said terentatek however, which would substantially increase the costs of kenneling said animal, as he'd have to do it off-world. And just where was he going to kennel a terentatek anyway? Clearly, he needed to put more thought into what he might tame with these.

Maybe a kushiban.

Nothing said 'man's best friend' better than a pet that could hold down a philosophical debate and play cards with you.

Leina was looking at him and there was something there... she could see it and tell he was thinking of something awesome. Oh she could only stand there with some of the soda and guess at it but she was thinking about the krayt dragon she had tamed when she was little and well same thing.... Just no need to get them while they are young and impressionable. For now though as she moved and grabbed one of the bags of chocolate covered peanuts eating a few of them in a handful. "Come on them and don't forget your rations." Oh yeah they were rations for lack of a better term and the expense reports had them listed for write off purposes as candy and soda might not be approved but rations and emergency water always was. Leina was going down as th sounds of her little pets, two akk dogs she had found jumped around getting all excited. "Paco and lefty you guys are all excited.... did you find my bacon?"
