Prepping for an Underwater Adventure!

OOC Date: September 10, 2021
Location: Chandrila
Participants: Rey, Jax, Ewan, FshMaw, Yuun

It's early evening but not full night yet, the skies are splayed and the myriad colors as the sun begins to set, casting beautiful color as it begins to descend into blue waters of Chandrila. Yuun asked if anyone wanted to go on a shopping trip with him as he was going to pick up some submergence gear for the work they will be doing on Ahch-To. Standing out in front of the Lighthouse, he knew of one particular store that would have some, he asked if they could stay open a bit longer until he could get there and the Mon Calamari owner said she would.

Fshmaw, bedecked in a formless floppy hat and bedight with zinc oxide paste on his-- erm-- foresnout, marches back-and-forth before his wares and calls: "isiepeas zawe! aagierealef, othag, ufeh!" He gestures to S3-P0Y, adjusting the volume/loudspeaker with pinched fingers in the air. Up, up. Down a tad.

Jax had showed up dressed not in the robes of a jedi but more like a spacer. His lightsaber though hung on his belt in the open. He offers an easy smile to Yuun. "Hey man." His eyes fall to Fshmaw, "We may want to keep an eye on him. I think I've seen him up the some shady stuff on the beach before."

Rey comes around from the side path of the light house. She has her satchel slung over her shoulder and one hand hooked to it. Her eyes are down on a datapad that she is reading soemthing from. When she hears talking up ahead she raises her stare up to see them and smiles at them both.

"I'm ready." She announces upon arriving to where they are. Her datapad is slipped in to the satchel at her side and she glances toward the pathway to the beach and then back toward Yuun. "So you found a good place for sea diving gear?" She asks him to make sure. "I guess it makes sense, we're only directly... beside... a giant body of water." She states with a quick smirk. "I'm ready to go. Hopefully we have enough credits between us all."

It was from the path towards the beach that Ewan had appeared, book in hand. He was reading it as he walked, allowing his pale, icy eyes to peek over the pages when it seemed too dangerous. Stuck from between a sheet of pages was a small sabaac card, the Mistress, which is occasionally withdrawn to turn the pages.

"Oh," says the white-haired man, as his gaze flows over each of the assembled, "Have I arrived too late?" His curiosity was genuine, touched with a hair of concern.

Fshmaw waves his arm, wide, extolling the virtues of underwater plant-life in a matchless variety of colors! Marvel at the cures for fatigue, sleeplessness, heartburn!

Yuun smiles as he sees Jax come out, he turns an dlooks to Fshmaw, "AH. Luckily we aren't going to see him." he says as he looks to Jax. "Oh thanks for hte ride the other day, I had fun. That was my first live Shock Boxing match I got to go to." he smiles. He stretches out a little bit.

He turns his head to Rey as she comes to join them, "Hey Rey." he says as he looks to her. "Cool, I hope you are and yes I did find a place. It's called Aquatica Adventures!" he states grinning. "And yes you're right we live right here." he chuckles.

When the new guy comes, "Hey, Ewan right?" he asks. "No you're not late, we're just going shopping and coming back." he states.

With that, Yuun heads off towards teh small plaza of shops. There are few food stands as well, there are beings with surf boards, hover boards. Little kids running about with floaties on their arms and waist. The shop they are heading to is the first shop entering the plaza. There is a mannequin with a swim suit on. "Here we are." he says as he opens the door waiting for everyone to head in.

"Uh-huh. Trouble has a way of following us." Jax says of Fshmaw. He then rolls his shoulders, "I will admit it was one of my first. I felt like it was best there to make sure the General or the Senator didn't get into too much trouble. It also gave us a chance to practice our skills to blend in. " Jax looks at Rey with a wave. "You very sure about going underwater outside of a submerable?" Then at the arrival of Ewan, Jax waves. "Look at who we got away from the cockpit of a ship."

Rey looks back to Ewan as he arrives, and she pays him a soft smile too. "Settling in at the light house?" She asks him, knowing that the young student had spent the bulk of his time with the Jedi studying at the temple on Devaron. "I've never been more unsure of something in my life..." She says to Yuun and Jax as they talk about the idea of scuba diving. "... Which might be a bit of an exaggeration." She gives another quick smile before she proceeds on to the store...

When they arrive and the door is held open, Rey slips inside and instantly lets her eyes wander around the interior. She takes a few steps inside and shakes her head. "It's still odd for me, to see-- and consider --sand to be a recreational place where people go for 'fun'." She says upon seeing the toys and lounge seats here designed for the beach. She picks up a brightly colored shovel toy that makes noise and light when you scoop the sand with.

"If only I'd had one of these back home..." She mutters, joking of course... probably.

Yuun is given a shifting of Ewan's features, and they lean forward in salutation before returning. "New to Chandrila," Ewan confirms with a thoughtful pause, "When I've left Devaron, it has usually been with a flight stick and full burn." As Jax chimes in, there's a smirk. A quick hand grabs and tosses, expertly, the Mistress sabaac card. It was harmless, even if the Knight didn't entirely see it coming.

       "As Greystorm said, I spend a lot of time flying. When I'm not, I'm probably reading. I have a ... long reading assignment." Ewan admits this with a smirk, and the book he Carrie's is closed and tucked into his robe at his chest. "Yes," Ewan answers finally towards Rey, "The accommodations are more than suitable. I thank you."

Rey Skywalker says, "As Greystorm said, I spend a lot of time flying. When I'm not, I'm probably reading. I have a ... long reading assignment." Ewan admits this with a smirk, and the book he Carrie's is closed and tucked into his robe at his chest. "Yes," Ewan answers finally towards Rey, "The accommodations are more than suitable. I thank you.""

A female Mon Calamari stands behind the counter as a few of the Jedi walks in, Yuun looks to Jax for a moment. "Yeah, you're not lying about that." he says as he too looks to Fshmaw. "I'm heading in, and it did allow for us to do that. I'm still working on that." he grins.

Yuun is quiet as Jax ask a question to Rey, Yuun is excited, he's been doing quite a bit of swimming and started learning to scuba lately. So this is up his alley. As Rey walks in after replying to Jax, he follows in. "Well Ewan it's nice to have you, and I've only recently got more into flying in the last year." he says. "As for reading, you do have quite a bit ahead of you." he grins.

He moves forward, "Hello Gl'ada, I made it back, I was wondering about those submergence suits and what all we need with them." he says to her. She looks to those with Yuun, "How many would you need?" she asks. Quirking a brow up and he turns to Rey. "HOw many?" he asks. Though catching what Rey said about the sand, "Well some people lived on planets who didn't have beaches, so there is that." he smiles. "Though from what I talked to you about where you come from, I wouldn't want to live there myself." he chuckles.

Fshmaw, perhaps overconfident in his ability to distract someone while he undoes a d-ring, tugs somewhat lamely on what he's sure is the *most expensive* eyebrow-trimmer he's ever seen. "tupaetave-- nipheghaza. tupaetave sighoo. tearh hoomejaaph tearh farhiva hageav gafoonu ghiethivoow kooph?" He searches the ground, performative?

S3-P0Y (3P0 Unit 20936) repeats after Fshmaw, "Your-- ehm. Your device. I think I saw it lose a screw?"

Ewan's card finds it's target as it bounces off the side of Jax's head. The jedi knight is looking at Fshmaw with a slight frown as seems to be trying to make off with Jax's lightsaber. Then as the Aqualish tugs as his saber and the droid translates. Jax nods his head, "Thank you friend. I'll keep that in mind and examine my lightsaber later." Then he raises his hand and waves it past Fshmaw, "You want to go home and re-think your life."

Fshmaw nods. "fadewaetoo isighogood ghiethivoow etaetutov aveafewiegh," he replies. "... etaetutov ghitiety pu tearh liem hi. etaetutov ghevaethie fufurh seaparh, zoos adorh daevoogiw." Nodding all the while, slinking away hunchbacked...

S3-P0Y (3P0 Unit 20936) repeats after Fshmaw, "Just being a good citizen, ... got an appointment I can't miss. Got to head home, rethink my life."

Rey sets the shovel down again and steps around a display inside of the store. She looks to Ewan and smiles quickly to the man, nodding once. "Good to hear." She states before her eyes go to Jax and Fshaw. "I remember you. You offered me the seafood on the beach." She says with a small smile, apparently not hearing their back and forth, he and Jax's.

Yuun's question from the store clerk has her looking to him and walking toward them both. She looks from one to the other, her dark brows raising up a bit as she considers the situation. "Two? Or three, I suppose?" She doesn't seem sure of this. "We have one already, but I suppose three more would be best. We need to likely split in to teams, or at least be ready to do so if needs come to be so." She shows the Mon Cal clerk a quick smile before looking back to Jax and Ewan. "Either of you wanting to make the plunge in a dive suit?" She asks of them both.

Ewan follows along as the shop is entered. His pale eyes don't take long to study the place, and soon he's watching the keeper of the shop. At the question of quantity, Ewan too looks towards Rey thoughtfully. Secretly, he preferred the idea of just flying something into the water--He was sure the Mon Calamari had such transports, though, he says nothing. He was reminded instead of the dark night waters of his home.

       But of course Rey saw through that and immediately posed the question to him. "I might be better suited piloting a craft, but, if we've need of bodies I've done a dive or two. However I can help," he offers, with a measured enthusiasm. "Wherever I can help," is added finally, before Ewan glances towards Jax. Maybe he saved the man a dive--Who knew.

Gl'ada smiles as she looks to the group of people, "One moment please." he excuses herself and walks into the back room. The sound of someone rummaging through things and heavy crates from the sound of it, is being moved.

Yuun turns to look at the others and he sees Jax come into the shop, he looks at the three, though he was more or less wanting to see who venture down below after Rey springs the question on them. Looking to the Aqualish and shakes his head a little watching. "Oh come on, it will be fun, though we already have a mission doing that coming up soon I think." he says as he looks to the others. "It could be fun." Yuun makes a goofy looking swimming under water face, though it looks more like someone holding their breath.

"Now that we got you out of your cockpit, I wouldn't dream of denying you an undersea adventure." Jax says to Ewan. "I mean it'll give you a chance to branch out and have new experiences." He says holding up the missing playing card. Jax looks to Rey, "We probably should warn the others how to look out for pick pockets." Jax looks at Yuun's holding his breath expression and just smiles. "I'm just worried about losing my saber to another crab." It happened a long time ago at the Skywalker Academy. Rey was there.

Rey holds her hand up to the side of her chin and bites down on the back of her thumb as her eyes look to the supplies in the store. She spies a set of flashlights and some kind of harpoon guns behind the counter which just have her wondering... The conversation from the others pulls her attention back and she looks to Yuun, then to Jax and Ewan. "Someone tried to pick your pocket?" She asks, looking at Jax's lightsaber then. "You have the worst luck with that." She says with a quick smile and a shake of her head. Her hand pats at the satchel on her left hip, her own saber is always hidden behind it, especially in public. "This is the training I supply for that." She says of the satchel with a grin.

"We might need to maneuver in small spaces, so these suits might be the key to achieving that... anything larger, like a sub-speeder or a ship... would be a lot, in size and cost, really..." She bites down on her bottom lip and goes back to surveying the stock...

"I think Three makes most sense for what we need. We don't all need to go down to the deep blue sea after all, I don't think..."

"I know a thing or two about that particular art," Ewan says, before taking the card from Iax, as it is presented. A moment is taken to observe it, before Ewan raises his free hand, shakes it, and flicks the card. In the briefest of moments, it vanishes. He knew they weren't fools--It was just a trick, but it impressed people on the street often enough.

As the slight magic is performed, Ewan returns to business. "Too cumbersome--A fair point," he laments, "Suits it is. It'll be an adventure." To coin the phrase Jax just used.

A loud, "WHAM!" is heard in the back, "I'M OK!" she calls out and it sounds like now she is dragging something up to the front. Gl'ada stands up an dust herself off. "From what little I heard, pick out what you need and I will include in price. I will not gouge you either." she says. Yuun turns to look at Gl'ada and she makes a face, "Breath." Yuun forgot he was holding his breath and gasps as he takes in a lung full of air.

After a moment, "I have three submergence suits left, they've been pretty popular this year." he says to them. "These suits include full air tanks, filters, masks with communicators and fins." Gl'ada says. "What kind of diving are you going to be doing? If you can answer I can help in picking out more gear for you." she says as she looks at the group of Jedi. Yuun thinks, "Deep diving, exploration." he says trying not to get too detailed as what they are doing they are keeping others from figuring out. "Oh, the suits are uni-sex and species, so you don't have to worry about them not fighting, unless your a wookie and well I'm out of wookie sized suits." Gl'ada tells them.

Yuun looks to the others and he shakes his head at Jax, "We're going to need to get you a holster and an alarm for that if you can't keep a better eye on it." he says about his lightsaber. He then looks to Rey as she thinks. Hearing three, Gl'ada smiles.

Jax reaches over to the 'puffy face' Yuun as he was holding his breath. He moves to reach behind the man's ear and produces a credit coin from Yuun's ear there there was none. "Breathing is good. I recommend it and continuing to do just that." He laughs as he flips the coin up and down his knuckles. Then lets it disappear into thin air. "He tried to pick my pocket. I stopped him. Though a holster is an intresting idea." He then shrugs, "I could start carrying Aderan's diaper bag with me." He says to Rey. "We're going to exploring on an ocean bottom of an unknown sea. So I would say a quite durable set up."

Rey's eyes catch sight of all the magic tricks being performed and she just softly shakes her head. "I don't know what you all have been up to that has brought this on, but I'm concerned." She jokes with a sly smirk before she looks to what G'ada is pulling out for them to peruse through and over. "Oh this is perfect." Rey says with excitement lacing her tone as she moves to start to inspect the gear.

"Right." Rey says of what Yuun describes about their mission. She adds on to that while picking up some of the tanks to look them over. "Can we try them in the sea here before we buy?" She asks of G'ada as well. "We're going to be doing a bit of archaeological work, which may lead us in to caverns or close spaces under the sea. I'd like to be confident in the gear before we trudge it across the galaxy to where we're going."

She sets the tanks back down and picks up one of the helmets to put it on... because...

Helmet on.

Rey flips the light on inside the helmet causing it to shine on the sides of her face. She looks over at everyone. "I might wear this all the time." She jokes with a muffled voice, the comm obviously not on yet.

Ewan shakes his head at Rey, not quite making out the muffled sounds of her voice. With Jax's own magic now having played out, Ewan eyes the goods quietly. His eyes set upon one of the suits, lighter in color than the others. "Does the business woman offer any manner of bespoke services or embroidery?" He asks, very certain that if interests weren't protected, shenanigans would leave him wearing a very colorful suit beyond his ken. Then, to Jax, "You could put a tether on it. A stretchy tether-cord."

Yuun is taking a moment to get more air and Gl'ada smiles as she looks at them and she lets them look at the suits. "These will work, there is no try before you buy, but I'm the only place that sells them." she says. She looks to teh group, "Also I'm not going to give you crap, I have respect for the Jedi, so I want to do what I can to help." she says. "These suits will keep you warm as well as the helmets, the you have starfighter strength visor. I take pride in the quality of product I sell." she says.

Yuun looks to the others, "Oh, you will need additional lights, if your doing archeology stuff underwater, I will add four underwater high beam flash lights. The tanks last for 2hrs before needing to be refilled, though the suits have an hour of air for you just in case you can't get out in two hours." she explains.

Yuun grins, "I think we have a winner." though when Jax moves over and does something by his ear, he blinks, "Hey." he says as he looks to him and reaches to where his ear is. "What you do?" he asks. Gl'ada looks from Rey and Jax to Ewan, "They come with tethers and I will include more at no cost." she smiles. "It will be 50,000 credits, I will include an oxygen tank to refill the swim tanks." she says.

"Adventures of a miss spent youth. These were skills that I already had before I joined the order. So don't worry that I've been neglecting my studies or teaching other." Jax says. "Sounds reasonable in prices. Yuun you've done good work doing research." He looks at Ewan, "I'm glad to see you doing stuff outside your transport."

Jax Greystorm adds to Ewan, "Uh-huh. I'm going to remmeber this when you get your first stunsaber."

Rey removes the helmet and twists her head a bit to get her strands of loose hair out from inside it. She runs a hand over her head as she sets the helmet back in the box with the rest. "This is fantastic, G'ada." She says with a smile as she steps over to the counter to open her satchel and get the credits out. "I'll pay you half now and once we've tested the equipment I'll come back and give you the rest." She smiles to the Mon Calamari before looking to the others. "You guys get to decide who carries what back up the hill>" She grins at them, and to Jax. "And please don't have a bag of diapers guarding your lightsaber. That might be challenging to explain on a mission if they all came tumbling out." She grins again, just kidding, of course!

"I'm realizing," Ewan says, as he glances between them, "We neglected to bring a hover-conveyance to sort this." Then, of course, Rey is expressing the same sentiment. "Students of the Jedi have never complained about extra physical training," he says optimistically, before preparing to heft and carry whatever he could manage to aid them with. Nothing is said of the stunsaber comment, though, internally he would offer a snicker.

Yuun pays the rest before Gl'ada says something. "I have a good feeling about this." he says to Rey. "I will help carry and...." Yuun was about to suggest Ewan when the student steps up to help. "Dope." he says. Paid and smiling, "I hope you come back for more of your underwater adventure needs." she says. Yuun bows his head and he looks at Jax and Rey, "After you, this stuff is heavy." he says. Gl'ada lowers the lights a little, as she starts to prepare to close for the night. "Thanks Jax, I'm just excited about all of this so I wanted to make sure we got the best and Gl'ada was highly recommended." he says as he starts to head out.
