The Baralou Boogaloo

[Darth Ren Malgus]

Baralou
System: Baralou

Home to the Krikthasi and the Multopos, as well as aquatic life and poisonous plants. But the islands that were said to have a tremendous amount of gemstones, rubies, sasho gems, kuggerangs, diamonds, and jasse hearts to name a few.

The issue was that anyone not of Baralou would likely end up poisoned by the plants. Serena in all her infinite wisdom and her new devilish ways wanted to go there and find some of the gems to help her mother, and perhaps one that she could imbue with the force for a new lightsaber.

She asked two others to go with her for after all if you are being chased by a bear you need to have someone that you can run faster than for the bear to catch. So she asked [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] and [member="Jake Jace"] to go.

Serena stood at the platform on Voss waiting for them. This would be fun, the outer rim and company. Adventure for certain, as well as lots of counter agents for the poisons.

She wanted a few of the plants from there if she could, perhaps they had other properties that could be used. She also made appointments for them to tour the Aqualis Food Conglomerate, and the Aqualis Base. The last water world she had been on was with [member="Coren Starchaser"] and that had a very interesting outlook.

 

[Jake Jace]

Jake came to the platform to meet the group he be traveling.He was dressed in simple clothing not wanting to stand out.As he came to the plaltfrom he slowed then came to a stop about five feet away.He stood calmly and waited.

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Unfortunately for Serena, one of the people she asked could probably run a hell of a lot faster then she would, annnd would probably trip her for good measure when the bear comes along the moment he realized she wasn't exactly intending on everyone escaping alive. If you weren't going to intend for everyone to get out alive, you might as well be the one to go, right? He didn't like the idea of poison, buuut... Couldn't help but help a Jedi in need.

Or was she a Jedi?

She was a Dark Jedi, by the report. He once had the Republic Jedi Order try to prosecute him for letting one hug him. Why was this a thing? But he was more here for the Padawan's protection then anything. He didn't really want the kid getting roped into something that could potentially kill him.

The Jedi Master would arrive, fully decked out in his Jedi Master's robes, lightsaber on his belt. Wasn't hard to tell he was a Jedi at this point. Recognizing from the description, he would find himself behind [member="Serena Bouie"] and would lean an arm playfully on her shoulder, looking over at her.

"Hey there" He cracked with a playful wink, teasing her a little before removing his arm. "In all seriousness, the kid's over there. Wanna go get him before he gets lost and get this over with?"

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] [member="Serena Bouie"]
Jake had frowned at the mans comment he thought the man knew Jake could hear him.Maybe that is why he said it so Jake would come up to meet them.He let out a small sigh and thought might as well go towards the two.He started to walk toward the two on the plaltfrom with an unamused look towards Joshua."You are aware I heard you right?Or is it because you knew I could is why you made the comment?"Jake had a feeling that Joshua thought he lacked in skills and maybe in knowegle as well.That did make Jake frustrated when someone questioned him like that.But he would do his best not to let it show.

He went to stand next to the other two.He wounded what they would be going to do.But he didn't trust the two he would be traveling with because anything could go wrong.There was nothing soild that would say the other two would turn their backs on him if given the chance.So Jake thought it would be best to be wary and watch the other to for signs that they would turn their backs on him.Jake could only trust himself when it came to things like that and he didn't like it at all.

 

[Darth Ren Malgus]

"I can see already that this trip will be....interesting" She smiled and nodded even as Josh removed his hand good thing Animus did not see this for she felt he would most definitely seek to remove the Jedi Master's hand.

"Come on you two let us board and go" Serena looked at Jake, moving closer to him, "it's a joke hon nothing more. We'd never leave you behind, you're a padawan and we'd send you to safety we left you" Sometimes empathy was a great thing other times it was a curse.

Serena moved fowards towards the ship that would take them, "Course Master Dragonsflame would stay behind for both of us, would you not?" She smiled as she looked back at him. "Did you look up this planet we are headed towards?"

She had and had information that would come in handy.

[Josh Dragovalor]

The Jedi Master would chuckle in response. "Sweetheart, every mission is interesting when I'm around" Joshua would tease. It seemed that the former Grandmaster was having one of those days. Good, it would make things much more interesting. This sinking feeling that she'd try to rip off his hand or not, he still fully planned to continue teasing them both, especially the girl, for the duration of the mission. He was just like that.

He laughed when the arrogant Padawan would once again bring out another outburst. Ugh, again Jake? Geez, you really need to get your bloody temper straight. "Jokes are better said when someone's there then behind their back" The Jedi would respond with a small smile. "Gotta learn to chill out and focus on the task at hand. If you let everything get to you and piss you off, how can you focus when a Sith is trying to cut off your head?"

There was a method to his madness. Once again he was trying to teach Jake a valuable lesson without directly saying he was.

"I have the information... But if it comes to where we have to run... I'm not staying behind" He remarked, smirking. "Worst case scenario, I'm tripping you" He joked. "Or we could trip the kid, go hide in a hole somewhere and wait squished up together for the big bad bear to pass" He cracked, before looking back at Jake in a way that promised he was joking. He wouldn't trip him... If he didn't give him a good reason to. He was an idiot, but he could be a Jedi yet if he learned his lessons.

Jake rolled his eyes slightly annoyed he wasn't even mad in the first place.All he did was speak his mind then got scolded for it.That didn't seem right but he could do anything about it.He shrugged it off and looked like he didn't care."Yeah might as well get moving."He would just ignore the insults that where towards him.It wasn't worth a agreement.

Serena with a little evil smirk looked at Joshua, "oh you'll stay Master Jedi" She looked at Jake and winked all was in good fun just like when she would trip up Josh for the bear.

"So let's take a look at a map and see where we are landing, and where we can head to. I'm a little excited about it all since I've never been to this planet before, well, least not that I remember" While her memory was still working on coming back she knew she had not gained it all and only through trying and moving did she think she would ever remember it all.

Serena the empath could feel the sensations around her, odd odd as it was sometimes these feelings made her....emotional. She smiled. Yes...the little dark jedi knight had the occasional wicked thought.

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] [member="Serena Bouie"]
Jake smirked alittle he wasn't sure how this thing was going to go with the two others.But he knew it might be fun and something new to do.He runs his hand slowly through his light brown hair the rubs the back of his neck.He hoped all 3 of them wouldn't kill each other since it looked like they barely get along.He moved towards the lady of the group still with a small smirk."Yes it would be good to know where we need to go.Do you have any idea what we will find or run into?"

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

(Jace, most group threads like this one have a posting order, generally set automatically after the first round of posting. Please try to follow it and give everyone a chance to post)

The Jedi would nudge the girl playfully, smirking in response. "I think you'll find me rather... Unagreeable, my dear. Jedi Masters don't live that long without being resourceful. Nor do they ever rise to the rank of Grandmaster without it" He would add with a playful wink... And then his expression turned cold, stoic and serious as he stared at her for just a moment. That told everything. Sure, he was being playful now. But cross him and he'd be the death of the both of them if they tried anything.

And just like that, he looked over at Jace. The kid had no clue what he was doing wrong. Regardless, he shook his head. "Well, Miss Bouie is the one who brought us here, Padawan. So tell us, Miss Bouie" He remarked calmly as he would look over at the Dark Jedi. "What's up?"

[member="Jake Jace"]

[member="Serena Bouie"]

 

[Darth Ren Malgus]

Serena looked to the two men with her odd how different and yet the same they were. The Padawan seeking knowledge of the force, and the Master who it seemed was a bit of a flirt even with his command of the force.

Serena took the nudge and rolled with the comment, Serena fluttered her eyes at him, "I do declare Master Jedi" She tilted her head and narrowed her gaze, "No one in the order remains alive without something" There were bounties on all of them from the padawan to the Master, the Sith wanted them all dead.

"Now onto our little jaunt, yes I have an idea, while there have been a few that made it onto the planet and off and lived to tell about it. There is an island that I think will yield the most of what we are looking for."

Serena waved her hand the holomap came to life, "over here" a delicate pointed nail pointed to an island. "I've managed to bring some antitoxins, and I've brought a holocron along to teach about removing toxins from the blood that we can listen to on our way there" Serena shook her head, "I'm just not sure it is enough, but the reward of a couple gems, and the plant samples would be reward enough for me."

Blue eyes looked over to [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] and [member="Jake Jace"] "What do you think?"
It was always nice to have the input of fellow travelers.

 

[Jake Jace]

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] [member="Serena Bouie"]
Jake looked over the map and to the areas she was speaking of."Well it couldn't hurt its better to go in with a plan and somewhat knowing what to except."Jake gave a small smile and bow."Well miss we are here to follow your lead well I am atleast."

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

That may be the case, but he had kept himself alive, without the help of the Jedi Order or the Silver Sanctum for quite some time now, Sith wanting him dead or not. "I see..." He began as she would explain. "Well then, miss... Lead the way. Being able to expunge the effects of toxins will be useful as well though. It'd be best we become well acquainted with them if we are to be venturing deep into territory where we will be encountering them" The Jedi Master would suggest.

[member="Jake Jace"] [member="Serena Bouie"]

 

[Darth Ren Malgus]

She smiled back at [member="Jake Jace"] he was learning, "Jake have any of the teachers you've taken lessons from shown you a holocron, and how to use it?" She had no doubt that [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] could use a holocron. He might even have one of his own a lot of the masters had them in hopes of passing down their own personal point of view on the force.

Certain Jake would answer her she continued.

Serena wasn't quite sure what Josh was suggesting, she had brought the holocron so that everyone could learn the technique because where they were going there were many poisonous plants. She gave him a funny look as she arched a brow.

"Yes, well..since you are both willing to let me lead on, we shall do so" She pushed the current view out of the way and brought up the beachhead that she had looked at as closely as information would allow.

"The beach may contain some of the gems we are looking for, but down this path" She pointed to the thin line that wandered through the lush green jungle, "I'm going to collect some specimens, but beyond this beach head, and within this jungle is a cave, and within the cave is where we can find the jasse hearts, sasho gems and a few other items."

She looked up, "So that's the path in and the path out. The ship will sit on the water waiting for us to return.

 

[Jake Jace]

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] [member="Serena Bouie"]
He looks at the holocron and studied it for a moment.He knew he had seen one before but didn't know how to use it.To Jake they where instersting things and useful."Yes I had seen one before.I was not taught to use one though."

He looks at the map that she was showing them.He studied the place were she was pointing to."Will we all be sticking together or spitting up?"Jake thought the idea of sticking together was the best idea.Since anything could happen.He had a small smile and he shakes his head alittle to try to clear it.

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

Of course he knew how to use a holocron. Not that he'd used one for recording his own biography or anything, but he'd used them from time to time. So learning the required skills from it would be a cinch for him, he was sure. To Jake's question, he would speak.

"Probably best we stick together. No point in coming here as a group if we were just going to split up anyway" The Jedi would remark. "Besides, with one of us being a Padawan, that's just asking for someone to be killed. No offense, of course. But if a Padawan, A Knight and a Master are all in one mission, sticking together's the best way to stay alive" He would advise.

 

[Darth Ren Malgus]

[member="Jake Jace"] [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

"Yes I think we should stay together it would be better safety in numbers, and if someone is hurt the others can react. " Serena breathed a sigh of relief, "OK so we have a day or two before we arrive, let's meditate, and then focus on the holocron. Jake I'll help you with that"

Serena looked at Josh trying to read his aura trying to sense his emotions so far he was good at keeping his thoughts shielded but emotions were like rain, the dripped into the aura of a person without them even noticing.

"Does that sound good?"

 

[Jake Jace]

[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] [member="Serena Bouie"]
Jake glares at Josh for his padawan comment he was annoyed at the comment."Oh how nice of you to have so much good faith in a padawan."He shakes his head he couldn't help but being sarcastic."Well you never know so people do think it's better to slipt up.I just thought I should ask but I agree it is better to stay together."He bows towards her slightly and smiles."Thank you I would like any help you could offer me.I'll do my best to learn from it."

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

"Noooo, I should trust a Padawan who talks back to other Jedi at every occasion, hasn't been tested yet, and is absolutely arrogant and more vulnerable to the dark side then any Padawan I've seen since Meta, to go out there by himself and not be at risk to get himself killed" The Jedi Master would remark sarcastically back at Jake, his tone cold this time. There was no jokes this time. There was no tests. He looked him dead in the eye and called him out on his chit. "I had a Padawan like you once. He was so damn sure of himself. So damn sure that he was this great Jedi, who was equal to if not above his peers. He was so Force-damned cocky and sure of himself and his abilities. He'd talk back to me, he'd talk back to others, he held no regard for common sense. He didn't listen when the Masters tried to test him or give him advice. He refused to listen, learn from his mistakes and become better for it. And you know what happened to him, Jace? He turned on us. Because he thought he was better then us. He became a Sith because he thought he was so much better then the other Jedi that he might seek more power elsewhere. You know where he is now, Jace? Dead" He remarked flatly. "I've tried testing you, I've tried trying to reason with you. You're not understanding. A Jedi is always patient, a Jedi is always humble, and a Jedi always puts his ear to the ground and is eager to learn. Because no matter how good you think you are... A Jedi never stops learning. Even me" He would add, shaking his head. "If you won't learn from me, or your own Master... Then I hope the Force is forgiving enough to make sure you survive"

That was all he'd say on the matter for now. He would turn toward the Knight and nod his head to her suggestion. "We might as well" He responded. "On your lead"

[SIZE=12pt]Serena looked form one to the other and then back again, “Ok the testosterone level in here is getting pretty high you two might want to take separate corners during meditation, and remember we are all Jedi here.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]She shook her head, “meditation to calm yourselves, and if you can’t get along and play nice I’ll have to do something about it” What would she do about it? She’d have to think on that.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]She gave them the I’m done talking look now, “ok. I’ll meet you both back here in a couple of hours” Serena walked away leaving the map up.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]She wanted to find a space that was quiet, that would allow her time to think on the force, and feel its energy. She hoped that Jake and Josh did not have further issue.[/SIZE]
