Glad to have you back




Joren got up from his seat beside Nyna and slowly made his way toward The Darq Dreams’ entrance ramp. When he reached the ramp, he saw a pair of humans approaching the entrance of the ship. As they approached one another and Joren was able to get a closer look, he knew that his instincts were correct, and that his past had finally caught up to him.

“Joren?” The young woman said with a mix of shock and astonishment. Joren had known the woman what seemed to have been a lifetime ago, and in many ways it was.

“Kaylee.” Joren said flatly. He had been dreading this day for years, and now it was here.

At one time Joren had loved Kaylee. The two started out as friends at the Jedi Temple on Yavin 4, however, with the rigors of training and the general solitude of the moon itself, the two had become much more. Unfortunately, their love was not meant to last. Soon after Joren had been granted the night of Jedi Knight, his father and master were killed on a mission and Joren left the Order, and Kaylee behind. He never expected to see her again, yet here she was standing before him on the ramp of The Dreams.

“What are you doing here?” Kaylee asks. “Where have you been?”
Kaylee hasn’t seen Joren in almost 3 years, not since the day that he vanished from the Academy, without so much as a goodbye. It had taken Kaylee a long tome to get over his sudden departure, and now here he was once again in her life, threatening to resurrect those feelings of anger and betrayal that she had worked so hard to suppress.

“I’ve been around.” Joren said; he was not entirely ready to have this particular conversation. “What are you doing here?”

“Rush and I were sent by Master Datch to investigate a series of strange deaths in the area. We tracked down the culprit responsible, but he got away.”


“Let me guess, an Anzat.” Joren said.

“Yes. But how did you…how did you know that?”
Kaylee asks.

“He came here and attacked us.” Joren told her. “But we took care of him. He won’t be killing anyone else.” Joren finished as Nyna joined him at the entrance to The Dreams.

“Joren, who are these people?” Nyna asked as she looked at Kaylee and her companion.

“This is Kaylee Starsmore, she’s an old friend.” Joren told her, “and I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name.” He said to Rush.

“I’m Rush Diel. We’ve actually met before, at the Temple. But you probably wouldn’t remember me.” Rush says.

“Rush Diel? I do remember you. You’ve grown up a lot since the last time I saw you. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have a lot of work to do if we’re going to get off this rock today.” Joren said as he turned to go back into The Dreams.

“Don’t be silly, why don’t you join us inside. I think you have a lot of catching up to do.” Nyna said as she motioned for Kaylee and Rush to follow them into the Dreams.
As far as the Force goes, mostly movies and games and such, but I'm also allowed the previous EU stuff as well.

Also, the Jedi Order is not quite as strict as they had been previously, such as allowing relationships and romance.

Nice... Don't forget the trunk! Btw, @nitemare shape and @Tearstone PM sent. Usually I wing this stuff but meh, trying planning is always a nice skill to develop.


I'm working on something right now (actually work related, not game. Just taking quick break because I'm a terrible procrastinator) but I'll check it out in just a bit and get back to you.
that was way back when...it's late Feb moving into March
Well, here it is, hopefully I did well enough to be accepted, am a little rusty, though knowing my dumb self it's probably not quite right. :P


approved


Joren wasn’t able to sleep at all that night. When the others had learned his secret, he was expecting that they would want to spend hours discussing it. He assumed that there would be yelling and name calling, and that they would be angry at him for lying to them for so long.

However, there was none of that. In fact, Dono never brought it up, and instead, poured himself a glass of Corellian Ale and went to bed. Nyna also said nothing to him, instead she went out to the Dreams to sleep in her quarters on the ship. It wasn’t because she didn’t trust him, or Brya for that matter, it was just that she felt most comfortable in her own quarters. Brya had offered him an Ambrostine to take the edge off, but he had declined. Kelsa simply took his hand and urged him to join her in bed, which he eventually obliged. While they lay there in the dark, Kelsa pressed against him, nuzzling her head against his chest. However, he just lay there staring at the ceiling, sleep unable to claim him.

When the first light of dawn broke through the darkness, Joren quietly gut up out of bed and went into the kitchen, where he watched Tatooine’s twin suns rise over desert. He opened the door to Brya’s home and made his way toward the Dreams. When he boarded the ship he found Nyna already awake and working on replacing the damaged battery regulator. Joren walked over to her, and sat down beside her as she finished securing the new part.

“You’re up early.” Nyna said to him.

“Never went to sleep.” Joren said, before adding. “You’re one to talk.”

“Yeah, I figured I’d get up early and make sure the new battery regulator would work. What’s your excuse?” She said nonchalantly.

Silence filled the air between them as neither knew what they wanted to say next. Joren knew Nyna, they had been best friends from the moment they met one another. They were more than friends, they were more like family. Joren knew that Nyna hated being lied to, and was afraid that she would never forgive him for withholding the truth about his past.

“So, when were you going to tell us?” Nyna finally asked. It was a question that Joren didn’t want to answer, one that he hoped would never be asked, but now that the trth was out, he knew that there was no use running from the issue any longer.

“I wasn’t.” Joren told her honestly. The answer wasn’t what Nyna had expected, and she shot Joren a look that told him as much. Her expression flashed from surprise, to anger, and then confusion.

“Nyna, that’s not my life anymore. It hasn’t been for a long time.” He said.

“But why wouldn’t you tell us? Why would you want to hide that?” She asked.

“It’s complicated. I guess I was afraid that people wouldn’t accept me if they knew the truth. I mean, you saw Dono. He was…”

“He was shocked.” Nyna finished for him. “We all were. But we’re still here. And we’re not going anywhere.”

Relief washed over his entire being and as it did, a small smile formed to the edges of his mouth. He put his arm around her and gave her a slight squeeze. It was the kind of embrace that a brother might give his little sister.

“Thanks.” He said.

“So, can I touch it?” Nyna asked, suddenly invigorated with enthusiasm.

“What?” Joren asked, taken by surprise.

“You know, your lightsaber.” Nyna said.

“Oh no...you’ll probably cut off your arm.” Joren teased. Nyna playfully punched his arm, and the two began to laugh, and for just an instant, everything seemed right in the universe.

After several moments Joren felt something, or more accurately, someone. It was a familiar presence, though, it was one that he hadn’t felt in quite some time, not since he left the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4.

OK, so a slight change in plans...

Kali and I have decided that we are not going to post our collab as one big post, but in segments. I'll be posting the first segment in just a bit
Absolutely, we'd love to have you
Yeah, I meant with those in the meeting.

Sorry, I don't seem to have gotten a PM. When did you send it?
