WHERE: All around Temba
WHAT: Catch all
WHEN: early August

Jedi practice

Grogu knows he needs to practice using the Force. It's the only way he'll get better and not get exhausted so quickly. So he's found a quiet spot outside to sit. He's got an array of stones (And a little metal sphere) Before him. Closing his eyes, he holds his hands out and focuses. The items begin to float. They rise in the air and begin to float in a slow circle around him. Now he just has to see how long he can keep this up.

The Beach

All work and no play... We know how that goes.

Grogu has found his way to the beach and is currently humming to himself as he builds a sand structure. It's tough to tell what it is, but the kid seems to be enjoying himself.

Except he hasn't noticed the lobster creeping up on him. Halp?

You know what to do with this. If you have ideas or requests hit me up!

After his talk with Cobb about the need for a reliable source of food, Alberto has gone straight to the beach to start making himself useful. He comes out of the ocean carrying a fish the size of a tennis racket under an arm, and a couple of those sponge-like plants that taste like cake under the other. Since he hadn't been expecting to see anybody on this side of the beach, Alberto hadn't bothered to be careful not to show his sea monster form, and almost rushes back into the water when he notices someone else by the sand.

He stops upon noticing it's not a land dweller, or at least not a human. Alberto to figure out this is the green kid who's been eating Cayde's fishes, going by the description he got from the Exo and others. Ezra mentioned the child name to him, too, but Alberto doesn't quite remember it. Greg? Yogurt? Something like that. It's kinda cute, big ears and all, and Alberto is fond of children. Grogu is too distracted to notice him, so Alberto is about to go head back towards his hideout when he spots the lobster moving close to the kid. Ah, crap.

He quickly crosses the distance separating them in two strides and slaps it with his tail with a loud TWACK! leaving the lobster half-buried in the purple sand, twitching.

"Tsk. Nasty things. You okay?"

The noise behind him got his attention. With a surprised noise, he turns, his ears dropping. He mentally scolds himself for being so careless as to let something sneak up on him. But... Oh... This stranger saved him from the weird creature twitching in the sand.

He nods. Yeah. They're not so good to eat, at least not like that. After a pause, he waves. Uh. Hi.

Alberto gives him a smile but tries not to show his shark-like teeth much, well aware that they can freak out people. And freaked out people means trouble, usually the harpooning sort. The kid is just too adorable and he soon finds himself relaxing and reaching out to shake that tiny hand.

"Good! I'm Alberto Scorfanp, a pleasure to meet you." He lets go after a moment, looking around for any possible adults and seeing no one. "Oh, are you all alone?"

Grogu shakes his hand. Sorry, Alberto. He can't say his name, but he can still be friendly!

Looking around, he shrugs a little. Yeah, he guesses he's alone. What of it?

Worry not, little fellow, Alberto talks enough for two people. He likes children, so he's generally pretty good with them. At the head shake, he gives a friendly smile.

"Ah, I see." No way he's leaving the kid all alone on the beach where more nasty creatures could show up. The problem is that he will inevitably dry off if he stays out of the water. Alberto leaves the fish in the sand, he will take care of it later, and after checking no one else is around, he squats down to Grogu's eye level.

"Could you keep a secret? I want to show you something but it's a special thing adults can't know about."

Little does he knows that he's talking to a 50-year-old being, oh well.

A secret? Grogu's eyes widen. Well, who could understand him even if he wanted to tell? He nods, his ears raising. Yes, tell him!!

"Hah. Okay, thanks. Look!"

Still smiling, Alberto shakes himself like a dog, getting rid of the excess water covering him. The blue scales retreat into his body, leaving tanned, freckled skin behind. The purple fins in his head change to curly brown hair. He has ears now, as well as rounded pupils even if his eyes are still bright green. His tail and the fins on his arms and leg disappear altogether. He looks as human as any other kid now, even with five fingers one each hands instead of the four he had before.

"Taaada! I look like this when dry."

A child. Felwinter's experience with someone so small that isn't a Ghost is quite limited, so one might have to forgive him for staring a bit when he happens upon the little one.

Hopefully he doesn't startle the young one too much, not even considering the possibility in favor of remaining silent as he doesn't want to break Grogu's concentration. Beside him hovers his Ghost, also saying nothing as she watches. It's a different sort of power that this child uses, much different than that which the Light provides them.

It takes Grogu a moment to feel their presence through the Force. He's not so good at multitasking, yet.

The objects come to a stop with the silver ball in front of him. The rocks lower to the ground and the ball lowers into his outstretched hand as he opens his eyes. He smiles at the stranger, waving his other hand. Hi.

To be fair the warlord and his Ghost don't exactly give off the same sort of presence that one would expect from a living being, although Grogu would still probably figure enough for his familiarity with Cayde. Felwinter watches as things begin to settle back on the ground, a good sign at least that he hadn't completely disrupted the little one's focus. He nods at the child when waved at.

"I did not mean to bother. Please feel free to carry on. I have never seen such an ability before."

He's been around enough people with armor and enough droids that neither bother him any more.

He looks down at his circle of rocks. He hasn't? Right. Not everyone has seen the Jedi doing their thing. He reaches out his free hand and lifts a trio of rocks, floating them over towards the stranger.

"Interesting." Felwinter outstretches a gloved hand, tapping a finger at one of the rocks as it is nears him. His Ghost hovers around the rocks like another planet caught in orbit before she drifts back beside the warlord, glancing back at the little green kid.

"My abilities are not so delicate," Felwinter notes. "Except perhaps a healing well."

Grogu smiles at the ghost. He might not know much about them, but he likes them. Once the pair are finished examining them, he floats the rocks back to the ground.

Healing? That's a very specialized field. He tilts his head curiously at him.

Seeing no harm in it, Felwinter lifts a hand, a white, violet-tinged light gathering above his palm. He stoops down and rests his hand upon the ground, the light spreading outwards in a bright, softly glowing disc, tendrils of light radiating upwards. It chases away any exhaustion and physical pain, leaving one feeling refreshed in its wake.

Simba has no idea what Grogu is doing. It looked boring to be honest. Though he wonders how he's making those rocks float, something else catches his eye. That shiny ball that's hovering in the air. It looks like it could be fun to play with.

With a mischievous grin on his muzzle, the little lion crouches, stalking quietly through grass and around rubble. Getting closer and closer like the mighty hunter he is. When he's just a few feet away, his butt wiggles and lunges! Running up to swat the ball out of the air with intention of chasing after it.

The moment Simba's paw touches the ball, Grogu's concentration is shattered. As the ball goes flying, the rocks fall to the ground.

Grogu opens his eyes with a dismayed noise. Hey! What gives! He looks around, trying to figure out who the heck would be so rude!

Tink, tink, tink... the metal ball goes bouncing along, away from Grogu. And the one chasing it is the rude one. Rude is practically Simba's middle name. The cub chasing after the ball with glee, shouting in delight as he bats the thing around.

It's shiny. It bounces. And its just so much fun to chase! He's a cat, he just can't help himself. Having no idea how important the thing is to Grogu. It just looked fun to play with.

Hey! That's not his to play with!

Grogu frowns at the yellow creature playing with his ball. Raising his hand, he focuses. It only takes a moment before the ball zips out of the creature's reach and into his hand.

But its just so much fun!

With a whoop and a laugh, Simba pounces on the ball. Having it in his paws and then suddenly... its not. Simba blinks in confusion and looks up, his ears turning forward. What just happened?

Blinking a few times he gets up and walks over to Grogu. "Hey... how'd you do that?"

Grogu's ears lower a little as he cradles the ball, examining it for any scratches. Once he's sure it's undamaged, he looks up with wide eyes, worried that the yellow creature will be mad at him for taking it back.

Fortunately Simba isn’t mad and just stares at Grogu curiously.

“Oh…” he says in sudden realization. Seeing the way Grogu checks the ball for scratches. The lion cub laying down to peer at the metal ball.

“It’s important to you, huh?”

He nods at Simba. Yes, yes it is. He's happy to play with Simba with anything else... just not this. He doesn't want it to be damaged by those claws.

He thinks about this, tilting his head to look at the ball and then to Grogu.

“Why? Did someone give it to you?”

He nods. Then shrugs. Kind of? He wouldn't necessarily say that Din gave it to him. But he let him keep it.

"Oh, sorry."

He feels a little bad now because he knows how important it can be when someone gives you something.

"Do you want to play with something else?"

Gamora has been roaming, trying to learn what she can about this new place that she has found herself in. There is still mild frustration at being trapped here, but there's little point in fixating on those feelings. She doesn't spot him right off the bat, her focus in other places, but as her eyes skim, she does spot both the alien and the red creature crawling in the same direction.

For a moment she does watch, uncertain of the situation, but alright, this may not actually be the best. Her foot does come, not stepping on the crawling creature, but placing an obstacle between it and the other being. Her eyes do turn, dropping to where the green species seems to be playing in the dirt. "That is not yours, is it?"

For all she knows, it is a pet or something...

Oh hi fellow green person!

Her approach gets Grogu's attention. He turns with a slightly surprised noise, his ears lowering a little. He mentally scolds himself for being so careless as to let something sneak up on him. Oh, but she has a question!

He looks up at her, then down at the creature. When his gaze returns to her, he shakes his head. Nope. Not his!

She quirks an eyebrow, and her gaze does lose some of it's intensity. He does look a little abash, but Gamora couldn't say the exact reason for it. There is an answer though, and gingerly Gamora goes to pick the other creature up. It's not much of a threat to her, although it may have been to him.

"Here." It's several feet away that Gamora places the strange shelled animal, assuming it would be fine there, before turning back. "There. It shouldn't bother you now."

He smiles up at her, his ears raising as he makes a happy noise. He might not be able to speak properly, but he hopes she can understand his gratitude for her assistance.

She does move to squat down, arms each resting on one knee. A young one? It is hard to tell, and it's not always the most obvious. "Are you here by yourself?"

Ohai. He's kind of a young one. A young 50-year-old one...

He nods. He's on the beach by himself. That's what she meant, right?

Usually, Kaz wouldn't be much for sneaking up on anyone since the 'thunk' of his cane punctuated his steps.

When Kaz had first seen the kid he didn't realize how young this little guy was. Or that the big ears went right along with his odd diet. Despite both of those, this was certainly not a human child but a child all the same. This was actually not the first time Kaz had seen Grogu using the Force.

"I don't think you should try to eat the rocks."

The sound of the cane cuts through Grogu's concentration. He manages to hold on, though the objects waver in the air. They come to a slow stop with the ball in front of him. Letting go, they all fall. The rocks hit the ground while the ball falls into his outstretched hand.

Finally, he opens his eyes and looks up at the speaker. He tilts his head, his ears raising curiously. Eat? Why would he eat the rocks?

Kaz just looked right back at Grogu.

"The last time I saw you making things float, you floated a fish into your hand. And then you ate it whole."

For all Kaz knew, Grogu ate anything he floated.

He shakes his head. He doesn't eat everything he makes float. It's just easier to catch fish that way! Looking down at his silver ball, he tucks it into his pocket for safe keeping.

How to demonstrate... Oh! He reaches out a hand and lifts the rocks off the ground again. He focuses for a moment and they float into a slightly crooked smiley face.

...well that was kind of cute and mildly disturbing at the same time. Kaz had seen grisha magick plenty, so the idea of folks that had special powers doing superhuman stuff didn't bother him. But, come on, who wouldn't be mildly disturbed by a floaty smiley face?

"Why didn't you use the silver ball this time? I'm not going to steal it or anything."

Yes, Grogu was apparently a child but as with Alberto and Omega, Kaz talked to any child the same way he would talk to an adult. Maybe a bit less rude, and he might be generally nicer, but still.

He's only trying to be polite! A smiley face means happy, right?

The rocks lower to the ground. His ears lower at the same time. Oh. That. Uh. One hand touches the pocket protectively. It's his ball. He doesn't like sharing it.

Kaz frowned, a little offended at that. No proper thief would steal a toy from a little kid.

"I just said I wasn't going to steal it."

Clarice had come down to the beach to check her lobster traps, when she saw one sneaking up on her little friend. Turning her collection bucket upside down, she toed off her shoes and snuck up on it slowly, then dropped the bucket with a triumphant "Ha!" and grinned.

"Hey, padawan. Looks like I just caught us lunch."

Grogu makes a surprised noise, turning around with his ears lowered. He mentally scolds himself for being so careless as to let something sneak up on him. But he looks up and sees the familiar face. Oh, that lessens the blow some.

He smiles, tilting his head. Lunch?

"Take a look." She scoops the lobster up, then tilts the bucket to show him. "If you want a piggyback ride to the diner after you finish your sand castle I can boil it up for you. I know how much you like your raw fish, but this one isn't really all that safe to eat that way."

The lobster snaps its pincers to confirm her advice and scrabbles against the side of the bucket.

He moves closer, putting his hands on the side of the bucket and peering down at the little creature. It seems so angry. Is it really going to be dinner?

"Don't worry, it definitely won't be snappin' by the time it gets back to your plate," she reassured him. "They turn brighter colors when you cook 'em, too. Pretty and tasty. Here, though, finish up your castle. I'll take a picture for you so you can show Din."

His eyes widen. Whoa! That sounds crazy! And definitely better than that soup that tried to eat him.

Smiling, he nods and turns back to his castle. It's crude but definitely looks like it's based on something from Coruscant.

She tilts her head, squints a little. She can almost recognize some of the spires.

"That's real nice, hon. You should put some little shells around the bottom, like speeders."
