The Mentor
Ah, Nar Shadda. Josh's little "Get away from it all" sanctuary. When things got stressful, Josh tended to travel to the seedy planet to get lost in the shuffle, where he could go without being hunted by Sith or bounty hunters or anything of the like. Here, he could easily mask his force presence and blend in with the crowds, have a drink at the cantina, and relax a bit.
Nar Shadda might be the last place you'd consider a vacation spot, and for Josh it was far from a vacation, but for Josh it was a spot for him to quietly consider his next move in peace, without someone bothering him every moment. It had been a sanctuary ever since Dagobah, when the at the time Jedi Knight had been possessed by the Magnus Monster, forced to use dark side talents that had been taught to him by his double agent Master, Pinewrap, until Xardus had freed him.
The experience had horrified the young man, and brought shame to him to the point where he had decided to take a temporary leave from the Jedi, taking solace in Nar Shadda to re-affirm his commitment to the light side of the Force, and find himself.
A month had passed at that time, Josh had gotten his bearings and re-affirmed himself, returning to the Jedi in grand fashion after a talk with the at the time Grandmaster, Ben Watts had given him the kick in the ass he needed. Josh had then gone on to become a member of the Jedi Council, fight in the Battle Of Metalorn, and ultimately become a Jedi Master. Since then, Josh had used Nar Shadda as a place to find time to think, where he could get lost and prepare.
But that was a story from long ago. Here, now, Josh sat at a table near the back of the cantina on Nar Shadda, his Force Presence hidden well, enjoying a drink as he relaxed. He wasn't wearing his Jedi Master robes, obviously. That would have been too much of a giveaway. Instead, he wore a simple t-shirt, a leather jacket and trackpants. His Magnus Armor, though, was still on, safely under the casual clothing. Nar Shadda was too dangerous to go unarmored, R&R time or not. Not many people on Nar Shadda knew who he was... (At least not yet, a future thread would make the Jedi's identity known in Nar Shadda in a massive fashion) And that was something Josh wanted to stay that way.
