i.Main Street

Main Street has settled in for January, but there are still Christmas Decorations here and there to liven things up a little bit. Feel free to shop, mingle with the locals or explore the castle grounds.

Though after hours there are still some shadows that venture into the streets. Not everything here is as peaceful as it seems, and it’s best to defeat the corroded trespassers before they cause trouble.

ii. Cookie Overload

Do you like free cookies? Of course! Everyone does. After the Christmas Rush, there are plenty to go around, available only after the sun goes down to any hungry passerby. There are cookies of all styles and flavors. But watch out for the dreader sriracha cookie. It will make you breathe fire in three flavors and gives a bit of heartburn after, but the aftertaste will leave you craving more.


iii. The Eighth Wonder of the World
Now that the jungle has been purified, Apprentices can wander through to explore all the things the jungle has to offer. Take a (still somewhat shambly) riverboat and explore the river, or come to chat and trade with the villagers. (Shrunken heads, two for one special!) But beware. Even though the jungle is purified, it’s not a safe place. In this kingdom of animals, someone is always hungry.


iv. Pin It On Them
Some smugglers are hanging around the outskirts of New Orleans, selling dubious looking items from even more dubious looking bags. Do you buy from them? Haggle? Steal? (not recommended) Or quietly try to alert any sort of authority (good luck) The choice is yours.


v. Battle Mesa Gate
While the jungle may be purified, many other Kingdoms are still seething with corrosion. Erstwhile Apprentices will find such corrosion on the banks of the Rivers of America, right where the jungle river joins in. Fight corroded creatures on the shore and in the water and be careful, they are stronger than they look and cleverer than they seem.

Comments

Of course!

"You cannot simply use the Force then, Master?" He knew the answer. The lack was almost as strong as the lack of Padmé in this place. So he had to take small pleasures where he could. And fir the first time since arriving he could almost convince himself that he was home, that it would be alright after all.

"If you couldn't tell that's what I was trying to do, then neither can you," Obi-Wan retorted pleasantly. "It's alright. Better to have our limits tested in a moment of relative quiet than to find them the hard way when we're surrounded by ... whatever Corroded actually are." He had no reason to disbelieve their welcoming committee, after all, and some wisdoms were universally applicable.

"We still have our connections, they've just weakened. Muscles to be rebuilt. Frustrating, yes, but ... not impossible."

A pause.

"It is a bit more difficult with the blood rushing to my head so."

[nosmallfry]

"You are right, of course, Master. It is better to practice the new things here while we have moments of calm. And you are right about connections as well. Perhaps this would be a good time then, to practice with these... mirror connections?"

What is the point of being like a brother if you cannot sometimes be a brat?

[followedbyfools]

No point at all, of course. He still has plenty of smiles and patience left in him for this sort of banter ... especially if it means there's still a chance his Padawan might be spared. It was a bit like seeing a ghost, truth be told, but he saw no reason to mention it. If he told Anakin, after all, there was every chance he wouldn't believe him, and things could take a turn for the worse very quickly. No, best to keep what he knew and had lived to himself, and appreciate this strange, unexpected gift from ... whatever this Spark-not-Force was. He had, after all, learned long ago what Anakin had not - how to first hide his pain, then tend to it in private so that it was no longer an issue. He could do the same here as on Tattooine, or anywhere else.

"I think you're quite right. Can you get me down without a saber, perhaps?"

If he has to test his powers, Anakin may as well join him.

Why is it so much fun to play Anakin being a little brat?

"Perhaps someone on this mirror network would have some ideas, Master?" he asked with a bit of a grin, but then he drew a saber. Of the metal variety. "I was given this, perhaps it could be of some use?"
