What did I specialize?

Zaiya hummed, considering how to answer it, as it wasnt really an easy one. After a moment of thinking it, the Lovalla Knight's rosy golden skin gave a thoughtful flutter of amber tones along her mottled spots before they gave a joyful cyan shimmer and she said, "I do not specialize as much as focus on abilities that can help support, heal, or assist others."

As she led the group to one of the larger common areas, she gestured for them to join her.

"I also really love playing with technology, so I try to find ways where I can create prototypes of tech that I can also use or enhance with the Force," Her bangles gave a jingle as she gestured with her hands, and she pointed to a few of them with a finger.

"See, these are not just pretty bangles, they also serve a purpose. A few I have imbued with the Force to assist in keeping my mind clear or free from influences, or like this one," she gave a series of taps along the cuff of a bangle, and out came a small glowing energy pellet.

"I can use this and fling it or direct it with ballistekinsis to where I want it to go." She tossed the energy pellet to Del for her to catch, giving her a wink as the others introduced themselves. Good good! The mingling was working and they were even asking questions of each other.

"You are all welcome to pair up and tour the dorms as you like," She told them, encouraging them. "Or can stay with me as I cover the other areas."

She wanted to give them the option just in case they found someone they wanted to chat to. Maybe they could find their roommate.

A beaming smile shone at Novac's direction and the Lovalla Knight gave an energetic nod.

"Of course! The Jedi Domatories vary in size and in consideration of the variety of sentients who choose to join the Order. We can certainly modify your dorm if needed as well if specific considerations need to be taken for your rest."

Hearing Oryn mention bubbling for protection, Zaiya's smile grew wider.

"Yes! There is a technique of using the Force to not only protect yourself, but if needed, you can also use it offensively -- say for example, if someone decided to toss a sleep agent at your direction, you can use a force bubble to trap the individual attempting to toss it to instead be trapped with the sleeping agent and be knocked out themselves!"

A thought and then she glanced around.

"Did you want to learn it?"

She could teach it if they wanted her to in an impromptu lesson.

no one gave much reaction to him lovely novac thought. they didnt seem to care about his size of appearance, that was a good sign already.
hm a tour of explore the dorms, hmmm novac did want to see the rest of the place, but there where a couple here he'd like to talk to. daxen seemed nice and he'd met warren once before. novac had a particular like for animal like species like himself, always liked them more then the more human races. no clue why, itw not like he didnt like human-like races just the animal like ones where...he didnt really know how to put it, he assumed it was just because he was a animal like.

"oh a protection bubble? that sounds really helpful, i wouldnt mind learning that," the mention of that ability got his interest almost immediately.

The common area had become entirely too crowded. Between the looming size of the newcomers and the chaotic overlap of their personalities, the room felt like it was shrinking. Del felt the familiar urge to retreat to where things made sense. In her private quarters, the air was still and the layout was logical. She watched the group for a moment longer, listening as Zaiya offered an impromptu lesson on protection bubbles.

The temptation to join was overshadowed by a desire for efficiency. Group learning often moved at the pace of the slowest student, and Del had no intention of waiting for the boys to catch on. She could likely download the technical specifications of a Force bubble and master the theory on her own in half the time. Being two steps ahead of her peers was the only way to ensure she remained a top candidate for a Master.

Slinking away from the center of the hub, Del retreated into her room. The silence was immediate. She ignored the brutalist nature of the space for now, choosing instead to focus on the large desk. After a brief inspection of the refresher, she climbed onto her bed and settled into a cross-legged position.

Her fingers flew across the surface of the datapad. She bypassed the social notifications and temple news, digging straight into the archives for instructional manuscripts. The glow of the screen reflected in her eyes as she began to dissect the mechanics of Force barriers. If she couldn't control her living situation, she could at least control the speed of her own progress. Del lost herself in the data, determined to be proficient in the technique before the others even finished their tour.

 

[Xuko Pagoi]

Another newcomer, this one also tall and tailed. Xuko sized up Novac, curious if their four arms moved in tandem or independently. Independent movement meant more flexibility in a fight, but also more concentration required to stay coordinated. Xuko nodded a simple welcome to Novac before his attention shifted back to the conversation about training.

A protective bubble. Xuko considered the possibilities, simultaneously impressed that one could manipulate the Force so delicately while also surprised at the myriad of ways that the Force could be used. The things that he knew how to do- push, pull, and Force-assisted leaps- seemingly paled in comparison with what was possible.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xuko clocked Del retreating to her room. He didn't blame her; the tour that had started with four had grown to six, and Del's inclination towards structure would certainly be tested by the surprise appearance of new arrivals- regardless of how polite they might be. That the Mikkian had also verbally sparred with with both Oryn and Daxin meant that group bonding would be a process.

"Perhaps we can practice in an area more suited to training" Xuko suggested, both wishing to see more of the temple and to preserve the sanctity of their dorm area. "We can continue the tour as well."

[Oryn Selvar]

​

Zaiya spoke of a world he almost didn't know existed. He had always thought that, out in the field, it would just be him, his robes, and his lightsaber. But imbuing tech with the Force…

"Can it be learned?" Oryn was truly fascinated, and his ears perked up at the mention of something that could help keep one's mind clear, or free from influence.

"That sounds very useful. But isn't there a chance relying on such tools makes you dependent on them?" Oryn would've loved something like that… But what if he used it to overcome his limitations, and then somehow lost it? What then? Would he feel as if he'd been tossed into the abyss, worse off than before?

It was clear Zaiya's knowledge of the Force ran deeper than his own, and go figure, she was a Jedi Knight But using a bubble offensively had never crossed his mind… So much was possible through the Force, with the only limitation seemingly one's own creativity.

Did he want to learn it

"I-yes!" Deeeefinitely. Oryn nodded to Xuko after the comment about taking it somewhere more suitable. "Sounds smart," though he didn't mind either way. He trusted the Jedi Knight's judgment.

Whether that meant right now or some time after the tour, Oryn was game.
