Hey everyone i thought it would be a fun idea of a journal trade so to speak. To make it simple and for who don't understand what is going on basically, the JRT is a secret Santa with you randomly getting a person to give you a topic to write about in your character journal basically our Personal logs, and you have to give some other random person a topic to write about. I find this is a good way to boast the personal logs and be loads of fun! Plus it gives further insight to characters.
If it is still unclear I will be taking a list of participants who sign up, number them, and do /rolls to randomly pair people together. Every person will ask another to write a journal prompt of their choosing and write a journal prompt someone else gave them.
Below is an example of my latest for my character Jazcyn "For you Jazcyn how about your journey to ilum to find your crystal don't know if you've already written that if that's the case I'll think of something else"
*A holo of Jazcyn appears in her hands a small blue crystal in her hands*
“I got it!!!
It was one of the most difficult experiences of my life but I got my crystal! To think how far I've come since i’ve rejoined the order, thanks to my master, I know how the others here think of me… I know some of them don’t want me around, they see me as emotional. They are right, I am but I'm here. I'm learning, aren't i? Today's experience has shown me I am more immature than I think…but I dare not speak of it to anyone but my master… They would not understand, the academy is barely coming back together after our defeat by the eternal empire, they all have their own issues to deal with. But despite everything I am still the black sheep of the Jedi… But despite what others think i am going to become a knight, i’m going to dedicate myself and work harder than anyone.
But I'm getting off topic about my crystal . That's why I made this entry! It started off simple enough going on a trip with my master, i was told i would be going alone and if i needed help i was to fire off a flare. Not that I felt that would be much of an issue, I had confidence in my training. It was extremely cold, well what did I expect on illum of all the place, the tropics, a nice beach and a cocktail? Not likely! Which is a shame in a way could do with a nice beach…but i know if we went there as an academy Knight Damodred would be giving me a lecture on proper dress codes again, not to mention my master but well i do feel now she is a lot more relaxed since we have been together and less rule bound. While a good thing… Perhaps i’ve created a monster? That remains to be seen… Anyway i think i could get away with it with her now under the right conditions.
I followed the force, it was my guide after all, that part was easy enough being wrapped up warm not an issue and my secret stash of cookies! The cave in which my crystal was in now that was the real challenge… I was met with several visions. The first well what can I say revealed my immaturity… I saw a vision of my master and my father of all people in well sex. It spoke to how immature I am, it would not of shown me such a vision if it was not somewhere deep within myself… It was not appropriate at all, but honestly if two consenting adults that's their business. They are both important people so why did i see it like that… Something i need to work on it's not right to think of it like that at all. I will talk to my master and over come this.
I have mixed feelings about it as I had to be the one to teach my master about the birds and the bees which lacked from her training. That was a little awkward but better in a way as it helps in diplomatic missions. If she missed the basic social clue it could cause problems and I honestly feel better that she knows how to handle herself without someone to be there.
The final vision that was well something i had suspected, the darker and angier part of myself. I saw all those I cared for dead around me and myself with a red blade beyond that, I had killed them all. But i didn’t feel fear, this anger and hatred despite being a small part of me, it is me. So I accepted and faced it down, before the vision struck me the vision ended and i found a small blue crystal. The one i had been searching for.
Upon leaving the cave i ran into a massive creature, I tried to sneak past it..but that failed. Perhaps it smelt my cookies or just wanted padawan skewers or padawan steak… not sure it could cook so no roast padawan. Anyway, I having no interest in being dinner, so I fled with it hot on my heels, no matter how i tried to distract it didn’t work… even ripping off my coat to throw it using the force to blow my scent away didn’t work. Having no other option other then being eaten i fired off the flare my master gave me. It was pretty immediate how she jumped down and sliced the creature with her lightsaber and killed it. For just how long had she been following me? The whole time? I was glad she was there but there were those questions circling my mind.
She told me i did not have to rely on just myself, that I could rely on others, that people around me wanted to help. She led me back to the ship and we talked about everything.. There is as i said still a lot more to discuss and work on. It will be a long road for me to become a knight, but with her at my side guiding me i think i will be ok!

If you think you would be interested please sign up below and what character or characters you want to put forward for the prompts. So say one person puts three characters forward the one giving them the prompt chooses one of them and gives that character a prompt. I will be putting forward Jacob for this!
