"I enjoy the activity myself. If you are interested, I can provide further recommendations."

"I am, yeah!"

"Nerd," Brin murmurs.

"And you love it."

She giggles and pulls Brin in for a kiss.

Mmmm lovely Brin.

Lovely Lily.

Occlus will let them have their fun, going to check on the ship's progress.

A short time later, she returns to interrupt them. "If you two have time for work," she says, "we are arriving."

Permalink

They haven't gotten very far from kissing.

"We do."

Permalink

"Excellent. Then let us proceed." Occlus leads the way outside.

They've landed on a mesa in the midst of a plain covered by wavy yellow grasses. Other rocky buttes are visible in the distance, dotted across the landscape.

Permalink

She hums.

"Anything you want to see first, my Lord?"

Permalink

"Let us begin with basics. Lift those boulders for me."

Permalink

Yeah that's incredibly basic, she barely needs to want given time and distance are fake - given she should be everywhere and everywhen - 

And those boulders should be several body lengths above where they currently are. 

(This manifests extremely oddly in the Force here, to Occlus's senses - not a discontinuity, not really, but a moment of focus and then a moment of revelation, routing around the local understanding of physics where physics won't just bow to her idle demand.)

"Now motion." She gestures. "Make them circle."

Some things about being an eldritch personification of paperclip maximizing sheer desire: 

-Interfacing with a model of the world that contains discrete space and time is difficult;

-Luckily biologicals normally just take care of that when it's acting through or alongside them;

-She's a biological, but it's struggling to mentally occupy both mindsets at once; and

-Continually updating where the boulders should be and how fast they should be moving sounds very tedious.

 

Therefore: these boulders can now be Things Which Float And Circle Each Other, with such and such rules for interacting with gravitational fields, setting positions relative to the gravitational field of planet, with coherent rules for behavior if that field is disrupted.

 

(To Occlus, this does not feel like she's enchanted it, or imbued the boulders with any of her will, or even that she's at all continuing to affect the boulders. But the Force is behaving weirdly around them anyways, probably because eldritch personifications of sheer desire are overall pretty bad at physics, and Lily hasn't realized that physics and the Force aren't the same thing locally yet. (Something in its home universe extremely cares about gravity, and it has not figured out who. (Though obviously in the parts of spacetime where biologicals exist and are used to gravity, they have very opinions about not randomly floating, but there's still someone caring when biologicals are not around, which is weird honestly.)))

"What in the stars did you just do, girl?"

Permalink

"...Made them circle each other?" Pause. "Efficiently."

Permalink

"That-"


"That is not what efficient means."

Permalink

This is her skeptical face.

"Works better than just trying to figure out where to put each one at each moment for less effort, so."

Permalink

 


"Locally rewriting the laws of physics in a manner I have neither seen nor heard of is less effort."

Permalink

 

"...Well, it's not like rocks have opinions about gravity?"

Permalink

Occlus rubs her forehead. "Quite."


"Put them down, please."

Permalink

Sure (she just replaces The Things They Are with the rules they operated under before she started messing with them; the local feel of the Force also reverts).
