Into the Fire

[Jendu Verbenti]

 as he waits for any replies he scans the enviroment.

[OoC1: Am I the only one using the black background that finds the sentence quoted difficult to read?  I know this will happen sometimes when copying and pasting certain text.  A way for the poster to easily remove unwanted formatting is by highlighting the text and then clicking on the tab that looks like an "A" that has a little red circle with a white subtract sign in the middle.  It's located to the right of the color pallet tab.  ]

Jendu continues to [to use a D&D phrase] sense motive on everyone he lays his eyes upon.  But while he's relying on his intuition or gut feeling his attention keeps wandering to the little Jawa.  ~Come on Jendu,~ he thinks to himself.  ~Stay focused.  Why do you keep thinking of Tiktuk?  She was only a Jawa.  Most people consider them vermin.  And while he didn't personally have any negative feelings for the creature, except maybe when he was downwind of her, he couldn't figure out why his mind kept being drawn to her.~ 

Before he can ponder the situation much further, his attention is drawn to the courtyard where everyone was eating.  ~I could use something to eat,~ he thinks to himself.  Jendu picks up a tray and hesitantly waves his wrist cuff under the electric eye and a blob of what looked like regurgitated mush gets spat out onto his tray.  ~On second thought, perhaps I'm not so hungry after all.~  The young man then takes his slop to the empty table where the others were gathering.

Jendu takes a seat and whispers, "So, is this place everything you thought it would be?"  Knowing that he needed to keep his strength up and a little fearful that the next meal might look even less palatable, Jendu picks at his food and forces it down his unwilling throat.  "Mmmmmmmmm!  Just like mom makes," he whispers under his breath. 

[OoC2: Jendu continues to watch everyone.  He will note where the cameras are located; the watch rotations; who seems to be in control, etc. ]
