Tricksters and Runners

[Cassanova]

Juno scratched her head instinctively, and responded, "Honestly, the key is to just listen and keep an open mind," she smiled, "Which temple you stay at will be determined by your aptitude in certain classes, and availability of accommodation." Smiling softly, she added, "Then of course, they take into consideration your choice."

Standing up, Juno cracked her neck and stretched out her arms. "How about we set you up a room?"

“I see, then I'm gonna do my best to have any open mind and listen.” with the chance that she had given him to a new life, he wanted to do his best. He nodded when she asked if they would go and set him up a room to stay in.”Yeah, just let me put together the board again.” Gabriel said as he turned around and placed Mish on the table, reaching over the board he grabbed the top half and placing it on the board. Pressing it down a bit so that it locked into place before flipping the switch that normally opened the board, and closed it as well.

“I'm done.” he said and turned with board in hand, carefull not to have it hit anything – holding it under his arm he lifted Mish up with his free arm.”Shall we go?”

Juno, not bothering to put on her robe, led the way into the corridor of the ship. As usual, eyes of Knights, Padawans and Initiates alike seemed drawn to Juno and the arsenal she wore. Currently strolling a ship with twelve lightsabers visible was a sight that most folk never saw, especially since Juno usually would ambulate around the ship with her robe. After a decent walk, two turbo lifts and nearly being bowled over by a group of young initiates, Juno and Gabriel arrived at a room.

While notably smaller than the Masters quarters that Juno had been issued, they were more than adequate. A small toilet and bathroom area, no kitchen area to speak of, a desk, and a bed. This room seemed marginally larger than some of the others, as there seemed to be additional, or wasted space. Without informing Gabriel of what Juno had organised, she set a room up with him and his Bha'lir in mind. Knowing that they grew to respectable sizes, Juno knew that the space would be needed in the event he stayed aboard the Light. In truth, it was a decent possibility.

Juno moved into the room and leant gently upon the wall, "Welcome home, Gabriel..."

During the walk Mish had gone from resing in his arm, to hanging on his head for most of the walk – and at the end she had settled down on his right shoulder. It was well a sorta odd sight for some people to see, a small Bha'lir cub climbing on a person just to find a comfortable place to rest on – but it looked also peaceful once she had settled in at each place she decided to try, at least until she decided to switch places. Some of the Jedi that they walked past looked a bit at the board that he carried under his arm, it wasn't exactly something that people had – at least not the type that he had gotten his hands on and modified to his liking.

After they arrived at the room that he would be staying in Gabriel stopped for a few seconds outside of the room.”I'm home.” he said after having entered the room, so this would be his home from now on – it was smaller then Juno's room, he could tell that much. But he understood that he would have to work to get a bigger room eventually, though that would probably take a while at least. Walking around the room a bit he placed the board next to the desk, and put his backpack on the floor next to the bed before sitting down – lifting Mish down from his shoulder and placing her on the bed next to him, which she started to strut around on before making herself comfortable. Gabriel smiled as he looked around the room with his eyes, this would be his home from now on – at least he wanted it to be that. But if he got sent to another temple then this room wouldn't be his any more, that was what he believed anyway.”When does the class start in the morning?”

 

[Cassanova]

Juno admired Gabriel's wide-eyed approach to living as a Jedi, and knew that he was doing very well to not be scared. Then again, Juno reminded herself, the boy had just come from living in the Bespin equivalent of a sewer, and doubted she'd be hearing any complaints from him. Making a point to bend over and pet Mish on her head, scratching her gently behind the ear, Juno smiled as she answered Gabriel's question, "Well, more importantly dinner is at eighteen hundred tonight in the mess hall which is just aft of your room," Juno pointed out which direction was which.

"Tomorrow morning, breakfast starts at oh-six hundred and runs until oh-seven-thirty," she nodded as she moved over to a small desk that sat near the end of Gabriel's new bed, "And classes start at oh-eight-hundred. Just check your datapad for the details."

Juno opened the drawer of the desk and withdrew a datapad, offering it to Gabriel. "Lose it, and its your responsibility to replace it. Break it, and you work off half the value of it. It has all the schedules of the classes, and is updated daily. You'll have limited access to the Archives through it as well, although your best bet is to actually walk astern and have a look yourself."

 

[Nirvana]

Dinner at eighteen hundred, okay – he would make sure that he remembered that. Yeah, he would make sure that he did. Early breakfirst in the morning as well, he didn't mind that – going up early was something he usually had to do while on Cloud City. So that wouldn't be to much of trouble for him he thought, but then again, he might just sleep really long for once since he didn't have to worry about some things. Such as a need to earn money to buy food, instead he could wait until dinner and eat then – even if he probably would be hungry from not having eaten any breakfirst at all. But living on Cloud City had learned him to deal with hunger in a way, so he knew that he could handle going without food for a few days at a time – even if he would be weak from it, he knew that he could handle it.

“What would I have to work with if I broke it? Or lost it.” Gabriel asked as he accepted the datapad and looked at it for a few seconds before activating it, skimming through the information that was seen on the screen.”Hmmm.” he said after a while and looked at it while he bit his thumbnail a bit, he could see a few things that maybe could be improved on the datapad – at least preformance wise he tought. If he hooked it up with his own computer that he had and ran a few diagnostics programs he could probably make it more efficient, and maybe even figure out how to build in a small holo-projector into the datapad.”Would I have to replace or work for it if I modified it a bit?”

 

[Cassanova]

Juno raised an eyebrow at the newly initiated Padawan, "As long as you don't make any attempts to access files and protocols that are not your concern, I can't see any reason why you can't customise it..." she eyed the boy carefully, "...just make sure you only do so in moderation."

"The last thing I need is the Battlemaster knocking down my door telling me that you've done something with a datapad and a soldering iron..." Juno eyed him pleadingly, "Alright?"

 

[Nirvana]

Gabriel just chuckled a bit when she mentioned moderation, considering his hoverboard and how heavily he had modified it – it was probably for the better if he didn't do anything to the datapad that could get him into trouble.”I'll make sure I keep that in mind.” he said and rubbed his neck a bit.”At least I'll try to keep that in mind.” but what sorts of files and protocols did she mean, files and protocols that wasn't his concern – that just made him curious and actually wanting to find out about the things she told him not to access.”What sort of files is it that I'm not suppose to access?” he wanted to know, who wouldn't want to know if someone had worded it that way.

“Have you ever heard of a VRMMORPG?” Gabriel asked her after a few minutes, but he guessed that she didn't know what it was – since she was a Jedi she probably didn't have tim for such things. But it couldn't hurt to ask.

 

[Cassanova]

"Files that contain information that you are not permitted to access. Protocols for Jedi Knights and Masters to follow. You'll know because they'll be marked as Restricted Access, and require an additional password," Juno raised a hand to emphasise her point. "Do not attempt to get around the firewalls or restrictions. We will know. And I will not be pleased."

To the next question, Juno responded more cheerfully, however, "I'm assuming its some game of some king that you play on a console of some kind," Juno shrugged. She may have been thirty years old, and completely out of the circle of the popular culture that kids were involved in, but she wasn't an idiot. "I'd suggest you don't let your studies fall to the side in favour of such things."

 

[Nirvana]

“I see.....” was all he said when she told him a bit about the files that he wasn't allowed to access, even if there was a hint of sadness when he said it – he was curious about what sort of protocols that Jedi Knights and Masters followed. But he figured that one day he would maybe be allowed to access those as well, even if it would take a few years for that to happen.”Okay, I won't. I promise.” he told her after hearing the last part about the files, last thing he wanted was to well dissapoint her – since it was she who had given him this chance at a better life. It would both be stupid and respectless to do something like accessing files he wasn't suppose to access, and betray the person who had given him a chance.

He shook his head a little when she guessed that it was some king of game that you played, it was both right and wrong at the same time. Playing games wasn't something that he would waste his time with while he was here, it wouldn't be worth it.”VRMMORPG meansVirtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, it's not per say a game in it self. But it's a genre for a type of games, even though I don't own one of those games I can still play them. In a way.” he explained and grabbed his backpack that stood by the bed, opening it he retrived both his computer and the helmet that had been in the backpack.”Wanna try?” he asked Juno and held up the helmet, while the computer rested in his lap.

 

[Cassanova]

Juno smiled and waved the offer aside, "Thankyou, but no. I've got a lot to do, I'm afraid."

Turning to the door to leave, Juno reminded herself of one key thing, "May the Force be with you, Gabriel..."

 

[Nirvana]

“Okay.” Gabriel responded when she declined him asking if she wanted to try, he understood that she had other things to do – he did, even if he didn't seem like such a person.”And may it be with you as well Juno.” he said with a smile after she had said may the force be with him, then after that she left the room – leaving Gabriel to settle himself in.

Falling back on the bed he looked up at the roof and smiled, holding the helmet over himself and staring into the visor that was folded down – though it would only cover his eyes when he wore it. Putting the helmet down on the bed he said once more.”I'm home.” it still felt strange to say it, but it felt good to say it.
