I pocketed the gem gratefully. I wasn't sure how the thing worked, but I knew I'd feel more comfortable having it on me. This job...it had been what I needed. I felt that old drive, like someone had poured a gallon of high-grade catalyst in my intake port. A part of me was itching to get back to work on myself, push my body and my augments to the next level. "Thank you," I said to the Jedi who'd so briefly been my employer. I looked around. "I'll wander around here. There's always work around a place like this." I strolled away, hands in the pockets of my coat. "You've got my number, if you ever got more work," I called out, as I moved into the city itself. My first clue that something was up was the pitter patter of little feet on the dusty road. The second clue was the hooting brown blur of cloth and stank dashing past me as I emerged onto the intersection. The final clue was the klatoonian who collided with me and sent us both tumbling to the ground. I think the klatoonian dismissed me at first, probably because of my height, because as he got up he barely giving me a glance, much less an apology. He also stepped right on my gut and pushed off that foot to stand up again. Now, I try to keep my temper under control, but I'll admit that when I get pissed off, it usually happens very quickly. Maybe it was the heat, or maybe it was the complete lack of respect or decency, but I found myself a little...piqued. With one metal hand, I grabbed the klatoonian's ankle, lifted him off my gut, and slammed him sideways into the ground. Then, before he could realize what happened, I rolled over, grabbed his head with my other hand, and slammed the side of his face against the road. I repeated the action two more times before I saw his eyes lose focus and my brief burst of irritation passed. "Watch it," I growled at the addled klatoonian as I got to my feet. I looked around and saw the jawa some distance away. "Hey!" I called out. "Is this yours?!" I kicked the klatoonian lightly for emphasis.

((Co-mod Mavanger)) A good duel of two close range characters, one side utilizing the tried and true blade work of the Imperial Knights, and the other using the Sith Guide to its maximum. Both were well written, however: Aidan is the close winner The crux of this ruling comes from both character’s second posts. Aidan did very well in respectign the attacks of his opponent, playing them out viscerally and realistically. While Akheron took damage from the first force blast, and completely ignored the rest of the attacks, writing the whole saber kata and force tripping via barrier as ‘Jumped over.’ This is not respecting your opponents' attacks. Also, word for word copy pasting from a guide for the effects or expectations for a move or an attack pulls the reader out of a duel. Try your best to explain an attack or move without relying on its name to put across what it does. Explaining its effect in your own words. Again both writers did well, but Aidan’s tactics were more consistent with an overall plan.
