"...well, that could be her power shielding you out or her being a vampire. We don't talk to other vampires so we don't have other ones we can just introduce you to."

She nods.

"We shouldn't risk it, though."

Permalink

"There are nice ones, but yeah."

Permalink

Small smile. "I don't mind meeting other vampires. Meant getting turned - I'd rather not risk losing my powers. And unless vampires are immune to telekinesis - and to lightsabers, at the worst case - I should be able to stop anyone from touching me."

"What's a lightsaber?"

Permalink

"This," she says, taking the cylinder out of her robes. "Super do not ever touch the blade, but..." She angles it well away from anyone and ignites it. Her lightsaber blade's a brilliant gold, with a pleasant hum. 

Permalink

"Huh. I don't know if that would work but vampires move really fast."

Permalink

"Jedi are really, really fast too, especially with just reflexes."

Permalink

"Maybe you and Mama should have a contest. Just to see."

Permalink

She grins. "It'd be fun. And maybe we can get some podracers when we make contact with the galaxy again."

Permalink

"What's that?"

"They're small, fast repulsorcraft." She pulls up an image of one on her pad! And then pulls up the only holo she's ever found of Master Anakin (when she was still alive) racing, which always embarrasses her teacher but it's super cool.

"Most people have trouble controlling them much faster than five, six hundred miles an hour - " Zoom go the pods through an extremely tight and windy canyon with a dexterity no human could manage at that speed. "But some species and also Force-sensitive people can get way faster," this bit of clip has the volume muffled as the pods get on a straightaway and zip past the sound barrier; Master Anakin's keeps that speed up even as the straightaway ends. "'Course, space ships are way faster, but there's a lot less stuff to hit in space - fighters also get faster but most of them don't maneuver as well near the ground, and those're harder to get just 'cause you felt like doing a race."

"Ooh, fun! Vampires can run a couple hundred miles an hour flat out."

Permalink

"I'd need tech to do that, yeah, but I can respond to something coming at me way faster than that - there's lightsaber forms specifically for blocking blaster bolts."

She deactivates her lightsaber, returning it to its place in her robes.

Permalink

"Is a blaster a kind of gun?"

Permalink

"Yeah! They really vary in quality, of course, but some are really accurate and annoying to dodge. Unless you're Master Anakin and can just raise your eyebrow and act really entertained about people trying to shoot you."

Permalink

Elspeth giggles. "We don't have those on this planet either."

Permalink

"Slug throwers - guns with metal projectiles - can be annoying because blocking a slug with a lightsaber just melts it and sprays hot metal at you. So, if anyone on this planet points a gun at us, I'd rather be the one handling it."

Permalink

"...Huh. I didn't know that."

Permalink

"Almost never comes up. Slug throwers are very inconvenient unless you're specifically shooting someone with a lightsaber who can't dodge you or yank your weapon out of your hand, and that's a somewhat rare case."

Permalink

"I'll try to avoid getting shot at, then."

Permalink

"Thank you. I can practically feel my heart attack risk going down."

Permalink

She giggles.

Permalink

"Mama's bulletproof. We don't think I am but I've never actually been shot."

Permalink

"I'm not bulletproof. Just fast."
