Getting Jaxed IV

OOC Date: September 30, 2018
Location: Arisnar
Participants: Jedi Order: Jax Greystorm, Rey, Yuun, Elrych Cometburn, and Sesti Greystorm

Off to the distance to the north above the petrified forrest a lighting storm was raging on. The wind sweeping in from the north carried the sweet smell of rain. Jax was sitting on the mesa with his legs crossed meditating as he waited for the students for his class to arrive.

Elrych Cometburn hiked his way up the messa and to the camp site. He hadn't ventured out this far just yet, prefering to stick to the parts of the Achademy grounds he was used to and knew well enough not to get lost. Not that he got lost easily. He takes a moment, hands going to his kness, catching his breath as he notice he's arrived. "Hey Jax..." He takes a look around, "You know... it's getting really weird that I'm always the first one here."

"Well it's a small school and everyone can't be the last one here." Jax says as he looks up at his name. "How are you Elrych, settling in your new place?" He gestures for Elrych to come over to him, "Come join me and we'll give the others a few moment."

Elrych Cometburn nods and moves over to take a seat near Jax. "I'm settling in fine. Though, I'm still spending more time on my ship then there. It's more for Nia than me. Still, good to have a place to go that isn't cramped like the spike."

Jax , "Fair enough, Sesti and I spend more time on one our ships than any of the planets we have rooms or apartment on. Though it's nice to have somebody to go through life with and it's a nice apartment building. Shame it's on Nar Shaddaa, It is not a plesant place overall. But seems to be the cener of the galaxy." He looks out at the storm, "So how goes your studyign?"

Elrych Cometburn nods his head slowly, "Yeah... I don't like being alone too much. Maybe that's why I bought my Astromech. Don't really need him but, he was company when I had none. Nar seems to be yes, and it's not pretty but Corellian District isn't as bad as the others from what I've gathered." He looks over to the storm himself, "Been practicing with the Stunsaber and the Remote. I talked to Yoda about why it was so important that we learn the lightsaber and the crafting of it. He told me, that everything else derives from the dicipline we learn with our sabers. It's a the first steps to harder more force intensive training. So I've switched my focus to that for the time being."

Jax Greystorm frowns, "Did he now? That doesn't sound like him but I have problems understanding him. Though there is a lot of wisdom in that holocron." Jax and Yunn were seated on the top of the messa talking and waiting for class to begin in ernest. There was a cool breeze blowing in from the north where a lightingstorm rages over the petrified forest. "Though I can't fault the wisdom of discpline. Though it's got to be better than watching horrible holovids on your datapad." Jax smiles, "In some ways a lot easier. I have no more lessons to teach you in Damage reduction. Other than it's time to put it all together and trust in the force."

Yuun makes his way to the mesa and he smiles when he sees everyone. "Hello." he says as he looks to those who are here. "Where are the others?" he asks. He didn't know if the two were just chatting or if he is late for the lesson, but Yuun is here.

Elrych Cometburn shrugs, "Maybe his subroutines are getting a little old and cranky?" HE suggests beore looking over his shoulder to Yuun, "Oh I'm sure they're right behind you, man. Come join the pow-wow."

"Dunno, Yuun. They are where the force needs them to be. Just as you are where you need to be. Come join us, we were discussing difference teaching philosphies and lessons of the force. I was telling Elrych that I have no more lessons to teach on Damage Reduction. Just pratically putting it all into use and to trust the force it is your ally."

He nods his head, "Well I think we did well." he says as he looks to the two. He smiles a bit, he stretches and takes a seat on the ground. "The force wills us where we need to go." eh says with a smile. "Do we have any upcoming missions?" he asks.

Elrych Cometburn looks over to Yuun, "We've reports of possible Force Sensatives out on Kafrene. There will be a meeting next week on who will go and how we will approach the situation." He looks off towards the storm, "Also. Some lady has some Crystals we may need though. I'm not sure who'll be going on that one. Though, I have been toying a bit with Force Suggestion to help with running off enemies."

Jax nods, "Elrych knows the long and short of it. I've helped General Greystom with a project on Corellia. " He says of the missions, "Do both of you have stun sabers? I can't think of a good practical use of the powers that isn't inherently dangerous. So If you two want to spar and put your reduce injury into use. I'll call it real world experience." The trio were setting ontop of the messa not near Rey's campsite but where Jax could watch the thunder storm raging over the petrified forest to the north. The sweet cool wind washing over them.

Nodding his head a bit, "I see." eh says. "We did pick out our crystals, but more is good." eh says as he looks between the two. He takes his stun saber from his belt, "This would be a good thing to practice." eh says as eh looks to Jax, then to Elrych, "If you're up for this." eh smiles. "I can't wait for this meeting, though what else will we be talking about?" he asks.

Elrych Cometburn shrugs standing, taking his stunsaber off his belt. "I don't see why not." He makes his way over to a more open area and activates the blade. "We're bound to be very busy in the future. With Missions and other things."

From the natural land slope that gives access to the top of this large mesa, Rey appears over the ridge with her hood up on her robe and the fabric of it whipping around her form in the window. She first peers to the north to the old forest up that way, and the storm rolling over it. Then she looks in the direction of the stun saber as its whisper-ignition draws her eyes.

Rey turns to the others then and starts to walk toward them, she's clutching her outer robe close over her shoulders in the winds and as she draws nearer she offers the others a smile. "No blindfolds, right?" She asks them as she gets close enough to not have to shout.

Jax Greystorm looks up at Rey and grins, "No, we saved the blind fold for you." He says with a grin, "As you know there are lessons that require blocking out the other senses and there are lessons that do not. This is a lesson that does not, unlike last time." He turns back to the pair of learners. "Reach out into the force let it flow into you apply your danger sense, your lightsaber skills, and the reduce injury. YOu're goal isn't to hurt each other just to practice what you know."

Yuun is dressed for a fight, he's actually have some fighting like clothing on, he smiles when he sees Elrych get himself ready. Though as he does, he begins to close his eyes and concentrate, allowing the force to flow through him. He opens his eyes and gives a slight nod to Elrych and at that moment, Yuun dashes forward leaping in towards Elrych slashing his stun saber down towards Elrychs left shoulder.

"Nah no blindfolds..." Elrych says, pursing his lips as he's not feeling extra spry once he opens himself up to the force. "Rey, we still up for that game of Galactic Expansion later?" It was his favorite game. Though, his danger sense tingles as Yuun strikes towards his left shoulder and Elrych brings up the weapon to Parry, and then he counters with a Jab towards Yuun. Not hard, but fast, as the blade has no mass.

Rey takes an observation position a bit away from the two that are sparring, she watches and listens to what Jax says, and then Elrych. "Feel the saber's presence within the Force." She tells them. "It is as much a part of the Force as you or I. Let it become part of your flow as well. Don't think it as a weapon, think of it as part of your person." She tells them both and then after a second she grins faintly. "I'm horrible at that game, thats the only reason you'd want to play me. To win."

She gives another glance to the north toward the storm over the forest, her face only partially illuminated by the sun in the sky above where they are as the waving fabric of her dark brown hood bathes the other half of her face in shadow.

Yuun's strike is parried aside, though when Elrych attempts to strike, Yuun steps in and blocks the attack. He quickly reposts the strike and as he does he spins away. As he does so he steps in towards the right of Elrych bringing his blade around attempting to slash across Elrych's stomach at the same time putting himself into a more defensive position. Still he isn't talking, for now he's focusing on this spar.

"Play me at Sabaac if you want to feel better about your skills Rey." Jax says as he watches the storm off in the distance for a moment. He reaches out with the force letting it frown through him as he watchis his students. " Yuun let the force guide you."

Yuun and Elrych were dueling with practice sabers as Jax and Rey watch the two students spar. There's a storm to the north raging over the petrified forest. The sweet cool sent on the rain. " This is a place of balance that's why I was drawn here to meditate and you have a camp site." He says to Rey.

Elrych Cometburn is able to parry again, his hair standing up on end as Yuun attempts another strike. He's focusing as much as he can, he's listening he really is, but he also wants to test his ability to take a hit if it came down to it. "Well... okay. Maybe that is the reason. But you're so adorable when you get flustered. I want a picture to show Nia." Elrych had a habit of flustering Rey, especially during combat, but he always had her back. He striks out with a wide slash aimed for Yuun's midsection.

Rey pulls her eyes from the storm to the north then and she places them pon Jax then, she shows him a smirk. "I don't know the first thing about Sabacc." She tells him then. "I just returned from the Duro System. A space station there over the poor ruined world. I saw some people playing it in a cantina while my X-wing was being worked on. I listened in on some of the banter, but none of it really made any sense to me."

She looks then to Yuun, watching him concentrate and it made her smile before she looked to Elrych and a smirk is shown. "Flusterer." She says at him then. "I assure you I'm completely collected within my mind... Other than not ever having played any of these games you all live by out here. The games I had growing up, I mostly made up on the fly, and they were for one player." She pauses then and glances down toward the mesa's rocky floor beneath her feet. "That sounds rather sad when you say it outloud." She grins a little and glances over toward her red tent that she'd put up a few weeks ago. "But yes, I like it up here for that reason, Jax. Its soothing." Another woman in observation position a little off to the side manages to keep her face straight... this is helped by the tattoos that cover her face and often obstruct her expressions. Sesti glances from the combatants and to her husband, then back. She sets down the med pac she had brought with her, and settles herself cross legged on the ground, resting her palms on her knees.

Again his blade is parried, he quickly dances away from Elrych as he attempts to strike and at the same time, he quickly does a low spinning kick in an attempt to take Elrych's legs form under him. He does feel the winds of the storm and at the same time he feels how the force is humming alive around them even now as they spar. He keeps up with the conversation, but this is still training.

The Correllian jedi; the Corellian jedi former smuggler; the Corellian jedi former smuggler and fighter pilot; the Corellian jedi former smuggler and fighter pilot married to Sesti, looks over to his wife. "You're laughing at how horrible I am at sabbacc besides bluffing aren't you?" Jax then shrugs, "It's not my place to decide but I might recomend not taking pictures of Rey and having them on your person. NOt that I'm worried abotu Nia but if somebody else saw it."

The low kick isn't exactly expected but it's slow enough for the young Corellian to dodge, jumping up. Elrych twirls his blade around in one hand before raising it up, chopping down at Yuun while he's attempting to regain in composure. "Sabbacc is easy..." He says as he steps back and redies for another strike from his sparring partnet, "If you cheat."

Rey turns then to face where her red tent is located as she spots some of her cargo containers are tipped over, she walks over to them and moves to gather them up to restack them next to the tent's entrance. "Thats right." Rey says as she can hear the spar continue behind her. "You don't want to be caught with images of the most dangerous woman in the galaxy on your person's." She then turns back to them and grins. "I'll admit though that its severely hindered my ability to go places in this galaxy... which has a gross irony to it since I've just grown more comfortable actually traveling on a wider basis..." She reaches up to toss her hood back and then she runs a hand over her tightly braided hair. "Sesti is the better Sabacca player then?" She asks the married couple, showing a smile toward them both. Sesti watches the kick, dodge, and then her eyes wander over towards Rey. "I am. And I do not even play Sabacca," she replies with a grin, the amusement rather clear now as she teases Jax.

Yuun watches as Elrych is able to evade the leg sweep. Instinively allowing his natural sense of a fighter kick in, he brings up his stun saber and quickly blocks the incoming strike which whiffs. Yuun moving on the balls of his feet, brings the stun blade up in a quick uppercut strike, hoping to take the other Jedi by surprise hopefully.

"She is in most things. I'm quite sure if Sesti was force senstive she would be a better jedi than me. It's alright, I'm a better pilot and that's it." THe sound of saber contacting causes Jax to look closely at the spar to see if everyone's alright. "Sesti, you may need that medkit."

Elrych Cometburn staggers back, dazed from the strike he missed and failed to put a shield up against. It only takes a moment before he's pressing the attack, swinging towards Yuun as he approaches slightly more agressive in his stance. His moves are still very basic, nothing at all fancy, and any kind of showmenship is out the window for the time being. He dosn't resond to anyone, upping his concentration.

Rey has to smile at the two wedded-ones, offering a light nod of her head. "Well done then." She says to Sesti. "Never let him forget it either." Its all meant in good humor though. Her eyes drift back to the combatants and she's impressed with the physicality of what they're doing, but they're clearly needing more time with the melee weapons. "You all come from a life where combat has generally evolved beyond that of melee weapons. Rarely have you ever been presented with a need to fight like this, rather a good blaster at your side to do all the fighting for you by just 'being there'." She walks slowly back toward them but still gives them room to spar. "As you develope your training with the Force, all of this will start to make more sense. It'll start to feel more... right. I promise you both that. Time and patience, is what I keep reading in the text."

Yuun isn't being fancy, he has prior training with Teras Kasi. Still Yuun hasn't spoken, upon striking Elrych, Yuun parries his strike and he quickly dashes in, keeping his footing secure and watching his opponent and allowing the force to flow through him. Yuun throws a knee in towards Elrychs stomach hoping to knock the other Jedi Learner back and keep him off balance.

Elrych Cometburn isn't able to dodge the knee but he is afforded the time to conjure a shield to repell the attack. Elrych didn't have much teaching in martial arts. He was a Pilot first and foremost, a Driver after that, Then a Fighter Pilot now that he had picked that little habit of running off with Rey every time there was a fight to be had with the first order in one of the Aethersprites. Silver 2, his little arrowhead that could. Feeling no pain, no wind knocked out of him, he uses the closeness to attempt at least one more strike. A quick horizontal slash, both hands on the handle, as if the thing there a claymore.

Yuun back flips away landing in a slight crouch, he looks to Elrych and gives a saber salute and deactivates his weapon. "That was great Elrych." he says as he looks to the other Learner. He is breathing hard, sparring is always a good thing to do, and something he's not done in a while. Granted now as Yuun looks around, he sees Rey and Sesti is here. He heard the conversations and felt them in the force, he offers a bow to them all.

Sesti winks at Jax, and then glances over to see if her services are indeed needed. "I am letting you be better at piloting, for now," she informs him loftily. She listens to the talk of the force and Rey's teaching, and her eyeridges raise as she sees the knee to the stomach follow up

Elrych Cometburn nods to Yunn as deactivates his own blade, putting it back on his belt as he catches his own breath. "Sorry I'm not a better challenge. As Rey said, I really have never used this type of weapon before. I'm even pretty crap with a blaster." He wipes some sweat from his forehead and goes to take a seat.

"Don't make me take up doctoring." He says with a wink to Sesti. Then Jax looks back at the pair, "ENOUGH! YOu did good both of you. Elrych, have Sesti look you over. Remember you're training when you find yourself in dangerous situations and trust in the force. As Rey said time and patients as with all skills not just our jedi skills."

Rey stands off to the side then and she keeps her hands together in front of her lap while facing the both of them. "You won't be, not for forever." She tells Elrych then. "And when that day comes, you'll be going with me on more wild adventures than just that of attacking First Order and Pirate pilots. We have a lot to do in this galaxy..." She glances at Yuun then Sesti and Jax also. "I can look over the information thats coming in to me and see a thousand different things that we need to be well trained for, to go and... help with. We all have to put this time in, the galaxy needs our help." She then shows a faint smile and glances back toward the storm to the north. "Guess it'll be a loud night out here tonight." She apparently planned on staying in her tent this evening.

Yuun is about to say something to Elrych, but the others have already beat him to it. Yuun deactivates his stun saber and clips it to his belt, "This all is a learning process, we will get there." eh smiles to his friend and looks to the others, "So anyone up for food and a holovid?" he asks.
