this is a scientific experiment in whether it's possible to give a force ghost a heart attack

She meditates for a few hours, until her stomach and the sinking sun are informing her it's dinner.

She... Doesn't feel a lot better. But her brain's more sorted, less 'antsy forced focus.' She realizes the mistakes she made when Master Anakin was kidnapped - like angrily revealing herself to that dick Inkil. (She knows how to draw on the dark side. Master Anakin taught her every way of reaching for the Force she knows, with attendant warnings about the pitfalls of each. But 'bursting into tears and trying to blindly murder the person who upset her' is not, actually, how you're supposed to use the dark side. And it didn't even work.)

(Lily doesn't know if she can draw on the light, here - she loves Master Anakin, and since she's not actually good at inner peace, that's usually the path she reaches for the light through, but also everything sucks and her love's currently channeling through protective anger and a weird sort of seething, determined calm. But the dark'll be better for hiding them from Master Anakin's asshole grandson, and better for tricking him, so. She doesn't think it's worth trying to yank her brain towards the light right now, and she's constantly hiding her Force signature anyways so hopefully Jaina won't notice Lily's dark side use.)

She doesn't know for sure where Master Anakin is, but... She's found an echo of their bond in her head. It's muffled, not gone - which means she should be able to wedge it back open. It might take time, but this's a path she can use to identify systems Master Anakin might be in, at least.

She heads to dinner, glancing around for Ellaita.

She's sitting at a table with Anathema and a couple other pilots.

Permalink

She gets herself food and heads over to join them.

"Hey. Had a good afternoon?"

Permalink

"Mostly... I think I made some progress with the meditation - at least enough to be more accurate with sensing later..."

Permalink

"Sounds like a good thing."

Permalink

"Yeah. Should help."

Permalink

"Cool."

"Don't think you've met Jass and Dax yet," she gestures to the other two pilots, who say hello.

Permalink

"I haven't. Hey - I'm Lily."

Permalink

"We were just talking podracers, as it happens."

Permalink

Lily has opinions on this! Her podracer knowledge seems a weird mix of 'extremely out of date,' 'the result of being taught by an extremely creative mechanic,' and 'largely focused on backwater desert planet considerations.'

Permalink

A valuable perspective. The others at the table focus more on standard and underworld practice.

Permalink

Lily knows a lot about modifying salvage which might dovetail well with some underworld knowledge - can have the same basic problem of mismatched parts not intended for this specific use...

Permalink

That is useful information to swap for.

Permalink

She wants to get into the guts of a racer or speeder again soon, since she had to leave her speeder behind...

Permalink

There's always plenty of maintenance to do on the fighters and other ships.

Permalink

Yeah. Fixing something up for someone else isn't the same as having free reign on your own project, but it's its own kind of fun - and Lily wants to be useful. 

Permalink

Something to do in between all the teaching and scouting and planning, then.

Permalink

Yeah, they're already pretty busy, aren't they...

Permalink

It does seem that way.

Permalink

Hopefully keeping busy means they can move quickly. 

Permalink

Hopefully.

Permalink

Will there be stuff for her to do there soon? Or is it just focusing on training for now? 

Permalink

Focus on training for now, until Anathema's information is first-pass verified.

Permalink

She nods.

When's good for Ellaita and Anathema?
