Jedi Knight Valin Lobel walked into Club Orion. He looked different than from his previous visits. His hair had grown up and now there was a small ponytail he kept with it. It made him looked up - and made him feel more like a Jedi than his shorter cut.
It had been a long time since he felt like a Jedi.
He even wore his old robes - the one from the war. The inner and outer robes were gray, as was the cloth belt. The tabard - the piece of cloth that hung outside the outer robe and dangled past where the outer robe - was grey save for the large earthy brown stripe down that dominated most of the tabard. Black boots, a brown leather belt, and an older dark green cloak finished it.
These robes felt lighter. Maybe the other set - the primarly black robes - were because he choose them to honor all the Jedi who died in the war. And as a way to show that he had fallen to the darkness.
It could also have been because the robes and cloak had seen better days. The cloak was completely tattered and ripped at the bottom. The robes themselves were mostly okay. The tabard and outer robe were ripped where the end of the cloth was, though.
Two lightsabers hung from his belt. The first - the worn one with brown bantha hide grips - was his. The second was the one he kept from his love when she had died in the war.
Valin looked around and saw a new person he had yet to meet. He walked up to the woman - who obviously loved the color red - and greeted, "Hello there."

"Hm?" Red looked up at the man that had come in, pretty much ignoring him until he addressed her. She was still racking her mind a bit, wondering if those brief few minutes were all she really had. She couldn't piece anything else together though.
"Oh. Evening. I'm Red," her voice was dry, but also distracted as she began fighting off a small headache. She couldn't believe how fast this person had to be to vanish before her eyes. With a quick shake of her head, she gazed at him a bit more alertly.
"Who are you?" she practically demanded.

"My name's Valin Lobel. I'm a Jedi Knight," He said. The man opened himself to the Force - feeling its ebb-and-flow, feeling all around him with a glow that was beautiful.
However, it meant he could feel the bits of pain and discomfort coming from her. He concentrated and focused the Force to do his will. It flowed around her lightly as he made it ease her pain away and went about helping her natural body healing go quicker than normal - much quicker.
It was called Force Healing. While he was no master healer - he was pretty good at it. It was a common talent taught at the Jedi Academy. Master Skywalker was always on the look out for those with the potential to be Healers. He had tried to get Valin into that program but Valin just wanted to be the normal type of Jedi: The ones that went out and helped people by doing all the dirty, hard work that brought about change.
"I can tell you aren't feeling too well. What happened... that is if you don't mind explaining," Valin said with a warm smile.

Red felt something unfamiliar and it was coming from the man who called himself Valin. Quickly she felt her wounds being healed, but she didn't understand what had happened at all. "What do you think you're doing?" she snapped in a slight panic, also a bit angered.
"I didn't ask for your help. Why do people feel the need to invade one another's privacy in this place." For perhaps the first time she sounded more passive than aggressive. She was just too drained to really do anything about it this time. Naturally it was related to what had happened to her, but she was so quick to act that she hadn't caught him asking her about it.

Valin instantly stopped the connection he had established.
He sighed, "I'm terribly sorry. It's just... natural for me to help those who I feel need help... its what I was trained to do..."
Well... that was stupid. Times like this reminded him: It's not your galaxy. Jedi aren't known here. Neither was the Force.
Though, even in his own galaxy - the Force or the Jedi were not understood too well. Some saw the Force as nonexistant and some saw Jedi as crazy hermits with magical powers.
That or they still believed Jedi were evil sorcerers - just like Palpatine had lied to the galaxy for decades on end.
Some people just didn't want a Jedi's help either. It was just plain stupid not to ask.
"I, uh, I didn't mean to intrude on you. I'm sorry about that," He said to Red, and then admitted, "That was pretty stupid."

With a sigh Red responded slowly. "No it's okay. Just...just ask first. Don't assume I need or want help, don't touch me, and don't mess with my head." She sighed again out of frustration with herself and the people she was meeting. At least this man knew when to stop.
"So, uhm...what brings you here? I don't remember seeing you here before Valin."

Kolt enters the club and takes a glance around. As usual it wasnt busy though it wasnt dead either. Kolt decided to venture in further though instead of going straight to the bar as he usually did, he went straight to the arena.
Kolt didnt bother to really greet the others he gave a quick wave to them and moved on. In the arena Kolt went to the farthest end and removed his guitar and jacket, revealing his tattoo on his left arm. He carefully set them aside and began to stretch out.

Valin smiled, "I could do all that. Although I couldn't mess with your head really - Force mind tricks only work on those weak willed."
He stopped smiling at her next question and gave a simple question, "I crashed on this planet."
He missed home. Friends. Family. The Jedi. Why, he almost missed the utter choas that the Galaxy was too.
Almost.

She leered at Kolt as he entered the club, thankful that he decided not to join them at the bar. She was in an all new foul mood just seeing him. It made the fur on the tip of her tail stand on end.
Ignoring him she continued her conversation with Valin. "That's all?" She didn't sound all that shocked about his circumstance, nor sympathetic either. "Sounds like you're making the wrong kinds of friends. All you have to do is meet someone with a space ship. They can get you back home in no time."

"I, uh, wish it was that easy really. This is a whole different galaxy from mine. None of the stars are the same patterns. Plus, I'm some 42,000 years into the future or something like that," Valin merely shrugged.
R2-X2 - Wrench was his name - had informed him that known of the stars in the sky match any in his databanks (And as a astromech droid, it was his job to know stars), that the basic composition of differed enough to be a new galaxy, and that given the age of this galaxy that they had perhaps jumped either A) Into a much older galaxy or B) into the future. It had even given a rough estimate of the potential amount of pasted time.
It was all guess work at best for Wrench. But when Valin reached out into the Force - this was indeed a whole new galaxy, one far into the future than his own.
"The governments and people in my galaxy were never able to get pass the hyperspace walls that surrounded the galaxy," He explained to her.

Kolt with a good warm up now decided to do some practicing. It had been a long time since he had trained, so Kolt would just start off with the basics.
Kolts hands tightened into two balls of fists. His legs separated to shoulder with apart. Kolt quickly raised his right arm into a right angle facing upward. His left arm stayed a little cocked back his fist parallel with the floor. At that moment Kolts right leg raised into the air. When so happened his body twisted so that his right side was facing his targeted area. Kolts foot slammed down onto the floor. The stadium began to shake violently. Kolts legs bent a little at the knees. The right arm still in a right angle fell down extending outward and the wrists turning all simultaneously until it mimicked the left arm, though farther extended. Once the right arm fell into its place the vibrations ended. Kolt was now found in his Muay Thai stance. This whole process took about three seconds to perform.
