It's been about four years since Anathema Jedi met Ellaita Dameron, and they've all been excellent.

(Minus the slight heart-stopping terror that was The Ghost of Darth Vader, but, also, that was actually really hot, and The Ghost of Darth Vader was happening at Lord Fuckwad and not at Anathema, so, still excellent.)

Peace has mostly settled in from the initial ceasefires after Anakin scared Lord Dickhead shitless, minus a few diplomatic kerfuffles Anathema couldn't care less about - she and her girls got cloning facilities of their own and no one's shooting at them right now, which are the only important parts. Anathema and Ellaita have learned so much, and Anathema can sometimes even make Anakin look like she just had a stroke, which is really funny. (Trying to fork her girls by copying their memories into new, unawake clone bodies isn't that weird. Totally an excellent idea. And Anakin didn't even try to tell her no, just mumbled 'not my circus...' and wandered off, so, proof there's nothing wrong with it.)

There's only two things that could use improvement. One: she and Ellaita don't tend to have the galaxy's most private quarters. Two: there is a certain Very Hot someone they could be kissing and aren't.

Fortunately, these two problems have the same solution.

Which leads Anathema to draping herself over Ellaita one late evening, musing out loud - "You know, I bet Anakin could possess one of my girls. Have a body for a bit. Plenty of my girls would be super into that."

(The story of Anakin 'Vendar' disintegrating a mountain to intimidate Lord Jackass - and then putting it back together, presumably because he wasn't intimidated enough yet - has spread out from Sharp and Charge, with Anathema of course very graciously sharing the memory when asked. And, well. Anathema's girls have taste. If Anakin wants a body on any kind of consistent basis, she'll probably need to set up a time-share.)

"I think it will, yes."

Lord Sicaria

(Sicaria is slightly worse than Occlus at hiding her shock.)

brighten-the-place

She doesn't look too amused about this, at least.

"Good."

Lily Vendar

science

And from Lily, who'd followed them up - "Oh, yeah, forgot to mention the extent to which Master Anakin's officially the galaxy's most terrifying pacifist."

brighten-the-place

Some wind ruffles Lily's hair. "Brat."

meaner-than-my-demons

"Fortunate for the galaxy, it seems, that it is she and not another."

brighten-the-place

"Or that it's me now, at least; I was - honestly still widely considered the most terrifying person in the galaxy back when I was very much not a pacifist, but I wasn't nearly this powerful yet."

meaner-than-my-demons

"It seems to have worked out."

brighten-the-place

"Fairly well; though - if Lily didn't mention - we are keeping it currently a secret from the Republic and Empire that I'm able to do this, and that I used to be Vader. Just so no one gets nervous."

meaner-than-my-demons

"I see."

brighten-the-place

"Should I leave you to get settled in, then?"

meaner-than-my-demons

She nods. "Please."

brighten-the-place

She nods. "Alright. I'll be around, if needed, but otherwise - I'll see you later."

And she vanishes, mentally checking on Elesse - mostly to see if she's currently meditating - before reappearing near her.

supposed-to-know

"Hello dear. How do you find our guest?"

brighten-the-place

She embodies to sit by Elesse, leaning into her.

"Strange," she says, first. "More than your other alts have been. She feels... Mirrored, almost? Though she has been pleasant, on a brief acquaintance."

"Also, Lily is very insistently flirting with her... Occlus doesn't seem to be reacting in a way I'd disprove of, at least."

supposed-to-know

"That's good. And good for Lily."

brighten-the-place

Small smile. "Lily's been feeling left out, I think. It's good for her to establish her own circles..."

supposed-to-know

"Even if that circle still happens to live here."

brighten-the-place

"So not flying too far from the nest - though I wouldn't begrudge her it if she wanted to move out."

supposed-to-know

"Or perhaps just ask the wizards to add another acre or two to her floor."

brighten-the-place

She laughs. "And perhaps a way to teleport between apartments, if she wants to stay on another planet for a bit."

supposed-to-know

"That would be useful for more people than just Lily."

brighten-the-place

"It would. Sadly, the last time I asked, the answer was 'not at that distance' - they have near-instant travel to places they've been before, but the range is not even quite on a continent scale, and it sounds like fixed networks, especially usable by non-wizards, are complicated to set up and maintain."

supposed-to-know

"A pity. Still, the girls are intelligent. They may be inspired to a novel solution."
