You Will Never Find a More Wretched Hive of Scum and Vilany...

V O S S
The Silver Temple

As a Force Sensitive identified by the Galactic Republic at a young age, the small Nautolan had been condemned to a life sentence while still a toddler.

First imprisoned at the Jedi Academy on Ossus, the boy had done hard time on the play grounds of the Jedi. He'd visited the Jedi Academies on Lothal and Yavin 4. And now, nine years into his life sentence, the Nautolan was having a revelation about Voss, the Silver Jedi, and his place among them. That being...

Voss had the worst cafeteria in the WHOLE Jedi Academy Network!

As the muck was slopped down on his tray, the boy would have turned green... if he wasn't already that color. Seriously, it was widely rumored that the only thing that had ever defeated Grand Master [member="Thurion Heavenshield"] was the meatloaf served up as Taungsday's 'mystery meat'.

Part of the issue was, being this high up in the mountains, there wasn't a whole lot of seafood on the menu. And Zak was not a terrestrial being. Now, this was not being species-ist in the least. Some of Zak's best friends were primates! But, the fact remained that the Nautolan sat down in the cafeteria, using his spork to poke the more-than-questionable sludge that had been slopped down on the plate.

"Gross!" the Nautolan opined aloud, as he continued to poke at the squishy mound. "I think they served us congealed wampa boogers!"

"Duuuuude," one of the other younglings at the table blurted out. "Those are mashed potatoes!"

Tilting his head to one side, the Nautolan was lost as several kids broke into giggling fits. "What's a potato?" the aquatic asked innocently, which just seemed to encourage more laughter.

As Sia got her food she caught sight of Zak and decided it was time she could get close to him. She didn't know what to say or do. She didn't want to be super awkward around her crush so as she walked up to the table she said "H-hey zak." Darn her stuttering, she always did that when she was nervous.

The youngling looked up.

As he did, his head-tailed brushed over his shoulders. Reflected in the child's inky, black eyes was the reflection of a human girl about his same age. Blinking, Zak was trying to recall her name. He knew that he knew her. Or, he thought he did... but that could be anything.

If he had a credit for every girl whose hair he'd stuck bubble gum in, he'd have enough money for another pack of gum! And not the cheap, penny-candy gum either! The quality stuff, with jokes inside of the wrapper!

"Oh, uh..." the Nautolan stammered, as his mind tried to come up with something to say. Chick? Chica? Sup, Byss? Bith, please?

"H-Hey!" That was a neutral-ish way of saying hello, that didn't at all imply that Zak was coming up blank on her name. Scooting over, the boy made room in case she wanted to sit down at the table and eat with them. Jedi meant sharing, even if Zak didn't exactly appreciate that he was forced to share the same oxygen with Patient Zero of the cooties contagion. "There's room here if you want," the boy stated, gesturing to the seat beside his.

"And, have you heard of this potato stuff?" the youngling inquired, as the boys at the table continued to laugh at the aquatic out of water.

Sia took the seat next to Zak as quickly as he had scooted over. "Yes I have they are very good." This was her big chance. She looked down at her tray and then back at Zak. She thought he was so handsome and strong and his head tails were so beautiful. She began to try to think of something to say when all of the sudden she blurted out "Your head tails are beautiful!" As soon as she said it her face turned bright red and she looked at her feet

The youngling just looked around the table.

"Has everyone heard about potatoes but me?" More giggling, as the Nautolan just slumped forward in defeat. Then he looked up again, as the girl mentioned his head-tails. The boy just blinked.

That was random.

Of course, Zak could appreciate random. He was as random as random could get. Sitting back, the Nautolan reached up to grab one of his tendrils on the right and left sides of his head. "They're just kinda there," the boy commented, letting go of the head-tails and looking at the girl. "They don't do nothin' when I'm outta the water. And they're all, like, the same," the boy noted.

"Your hair is like, all kinds of colors. And shapes. And sizes." the boy noted. "That's a lot more beautiful, I think."

"I would disagree with you there. Watch this." She says and blushes before using the force and picking up her mashed potatoes throwing them across the room where they hit the biggest jerk in the whole academy. "Bullseye." She says and smiles at Zak and then smooths back her hair still looking at his head tails

The Nautolan just blinked.

Food had just been thrown. That was like shots fired as younglings went. And [member="Coci Heavenshield"] was going to blame this whole thing on him, wasn't she? The smart thing to do would have been to get up, apologize to the other boy, and offer to help him clean up.

Zak had never been very smart.

"FOOD FIGHT!"

Reaching over, the Nautolan flipped the girl's tray up in the air to shield her from a retaliatory strike. Grabbing a handful of wampa boogers... er, mashed potatoes, the Nautolan made a muckball which he then hurled wildly like a speed pitch at the Little League games.

As Zak did this Sia realized that he actually did care for her in some way although it may only be a friendship she couldn't tell definitely fell in love with him and she jumped up and kissed him on the cheek as the food began to fly. She would then grab some mystery meat off Zak's plate and launch it through the air as well

The Nautolan caught a stale biscuit, rearing back to return fire when he was suddenly kissed.

By a girl!

At first the boy wasn't sure just what had happened. Horrifed, he asked, "What was that for!?" This was a food fight. There was no kissing in food fights! As he stood there, a clump of mashed potatoes splattered across the side of his head. Shaking his head, the boy shielded the girl as more food went flying through the air.

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"For shielding me." She says twirling her hair and deflecting some food away from Zak with the force before launching some mashed potatoes

Matsu remained hidden and away from sight. She had been walking and sensed something surprising for a moment so she focused and stayed there suppressing her force signature before letting the white current make her invisible there in the corner of the room. She had been working on some used with Sato Hardlight since they had their new things. She would have recommended some of the other things but their new outfit changer and holocrubes were finished after extensive work that had been going on. The sight of Sia kissing Zak made the jedi masters eyes widen for a moment and she almost snickered staying there in her little corner.
