I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

I would appreciate the chance to RP as Inuel and Renny. They are a fun duo.
@6slyboy6 a little busy at the moment, but I'll try to have it done ASAP.
@RumikoOhara Captain America's Great-Grand-niece, that's lookin' pretty good.

I'll probably get going on an OOC tonight.
Kiana looked at the woman. She knew that this was all probably on the level, but she still couldn't quite trust her. "I can't spare a pilot. Clones all look the same and they'd know what to be looking for... I can point you in the direction of an old... Acquaintance. I'd call him a friend, except he'd rather see me and our entire order go up in flames, but I think he means well." she smiled, before giving her a small data-slate. It had the picture of a large Reptavian by the name of Inuel Kai with a report that said that his ship was currently docked on the planet. "He'll get you past the blockade and through the mission in one piece. If you tell him you've got your own ship, he'll be more likely to say yes. Last time I worked with him, he got really angry that his ship got damaged."
I added a CS for people to quickly throw up characters if you're interested.
As Manu answered, the Computer responded. "And who is going to pay for this third party?" asked Mr Masterson "It is completely unfair that I be asked to pay 10x as much for some oaf to do in a week what I can do myself in a day." The hologram berated her. "If he wants a contractor, he can pay for it himself." The other hologram looked angrily on "Like Thunder i'm paying for it. It was your animals that broke my fence in the first place, you should pay for it." Mr Masterson looked back at him. "May I remind you of the Agricultural laws? A party cannot be held responsible for the actions of their animals, should they break free from a paddock that is up to or beyond Agricultural standards, as set by the admissions board. And I have a certificate from the admissions board saying that my paddocks are right up to code"

"Not as easy when Laws start coming into it, is it?" Kiana asked. "You need to remember that every world will have their own local laws, beyond those set by the Senate." She then looked up as Night approached her and at this point, was a little too distracted to listen to Manu's next answer, 5 minutes she had had the Padawan and already had forgotten that she was now the one to look for. After all, it had been quite some time since Kiana had had an upstart Padawan. Listening to Night's questions, she thought for a bit. "Well, the planet Sacora is rather well defended. I am afraid that one ship will not be enough to break through." she sighed. Plans were currently being worked on, but they couldn't be put into action until Master Mundi's campaign in the Eison Cluster was finished. "Yes, we were going to be going to the 4th moon of Yavin on a survay mission. Nothing fancy, but there are a large number of ancient temples on the surface that could be used by the Seperatists as a base to spy on several of our supply lines. My ship is due to leave in the morning. If you wish, we could easily drop you off on the way. Although, I have questions. Specifically, who is going to fly this ship of yours and what are you going to do if they don't buy your credentials? One Venator against their blockade isn't going to last long."
For the sake of not running off without everyone else, and simultaniously getting the plot rolling, I am gonna wait for @TheUnknowable before posting again.
Kiana listened to the child talk about her knowledge of emotion. "Do not presume you know all, my new Padawan, for such hubris is the undoing of many new Padawans. Remember that a decision made, unclouded by emotion, will never be regretted." She had personal experience with such a regret after her rash actions got her first padawan killed during the Hyperspace war. She then listened to her talk about her combat training. "Indeed, such tactics are fruitful to be aware of, but remember that the greatest victory is a battle un-fought. Many outsiders see us as the heroic Knights of the Republic, swinging in, lightsabers ablaze and thwarting evil. You will come to appreciate that, most of a Jedi's life is very dull, sitting in meditation for days on end, helping the Chroniclers to orginize the Archives, settling minor disputes on worlds that you have been assigned to." She smiled as she remembered the sprawling fields of Aldaraan, that she had been assigned to for a while. "Master Cain taught you how to fight. I intend to teach you how to be a Jedi." They continued to walk through the halls, bowing to people on the way past. Canderous looked down at Manu.

"So, you fight with everything and anything?" he asked. "You know how to shoot straight?"

"Clone, do not put idea's of combat into her head." Kiana frowned at him. Canderous was taken aback, he knew that she had to appear unfeeling towards him, but he had told her multiple times that he did not like her using the C word to address him.

"Yes, general, sorry general." He replied, standing to attention. She was annoyed with him for talking about Combat when she was trying to get her mind anywhere but there. She continued to walk. As they reached the Library, she took the girl over to a computer and sat her down, Canderous remaining outside the Library, walking back and forth in the same 20 meter line, a standard patrol maneuver in a place like this. The Temple-Guardians stared at him, he took no notice of the white-robed beings, although they did give him the creeps. Inside, Kiana pressed a few buttons, before a small hologram of a person appeared in front of them.

"This is a simple test of judgement." Kiana said to her "There are no wrong answers, as they will only indicate what direction I should take my training in." she said. The hologram of the man suddenly changed to become 2 men, dressed in simple farming-clothes.

The first one spoke up "Master Jedi, I am Ben Dansen, a farmer from just across the ways, this man is Henry Masterson, a business rival. Last week, several of his Bantha broke loose and and into my Meyluran patch. They destroyed hundreds of credits of produce and broke my fense. Now, Masterson has paid me 200 credits, but that's not even enough to cover just the fense." The second man scoffed. I am Henry Masterson, owner of the Masterson Ranch over the ways. Yes, that is not in doubt and I, like the good businessman and neighbour, paid Mr Dansen the sum of the produce lost, which I In fact, I offered to repair the fense myself for estimated take to fix his fense, which I offered to do for 50 credits, a more than fair sum, considering that any other carpenter will charge 500 credits just for the resources. I just so happen to have a surplus of the materials to fix the fense." the first one looked angrily at the second. "Well of course you would, you just want into my field to get dirt samples. We both know you've been after my fertiliser formula for years." he seethed angrily.

"So, what do you do?" Kiana asked her. "Mr Masterson has offered to fix all of the damages at cost, but Mr Dansen demands a third party do it." Kiana then left Manu to quickly mull over the situation as she spotted the one that they called "The Night" talking with a Padawan. There was something about that woman that she didn't trust.
@Duthguy His review was one of the reasons I started re-reading it. I first read it after /co/ did a storytime with the first few issues. So, any idea's for a character?
Kiana watched the bubbly ball of attitude and funlovingness and almost felt regret that she was going to have to mold that all out of her, much like her rebelious streak had been molded out of her by Master Plo-Koon. This was going to be one of her more difficult ones. Krenax was already harshly tempered by the time he became a Padawan-Learner, emotionally balanced and almost ready to take on the trials there and then. Kiana bent down and took Manu's hands in her own. "The first lesson I will teach you is the most important lesson any Youngling can learn. Temperament is everything. Your happy attitude is enjoyable for some to be around, but beware that these feelings, like all, can be used to serve the Dark Side of the force. Your first lesson is to learn to be silent and observe, to let go of your childishness and take your first step into a larger world. Then, and only then, can you truly begin your path towards being a Jedi. You may be amazed at what you can learn by being silent and simply allowing the world to unfold around you, rather than demanding the world allow you to unfold around it." she said, her face emotionless. She then got up, letting go of Manu's hand. "Thank you, Master Cain." she said, bowing to him. "Come." she said, as she exitted the chamber. Canderous following suit with the bow and exit.

"So, what now, General?" he asked.

"Now?" Kiana looked at Manu. "Now, I have an excellent knowledge of your ability with the Force, but I want to see how good you are at logic. Follow me, I have a special test in the Archives." she said to the young padawan as she began to make her way towards the Library, the Clone and padawan in tow.
