Ruby's pretty sure that 'Death Star' beats 'Scion'

There's a good couch in easy shuffle range, at least...

Permalink

Or a bed that's not too far, if Anakin doesn't mind being carried. (...Ruby's body is, at least, pretty short and light. She should be able to curl up in Lily and Elesse's laps easily.)

Permalink

...Bed. (Less awkward logistics.)

Permalink

...Hey, what if instead of carrying, Anakin jumped to a different alt? Who's in the bed. (Ruby does not mind and even likes body-sharing, but she really wants to try grabbing Anakin's girlfriend.)

Permalink

"...Can I shift to one of you?"

Permalink

"Yeah, totally – any time you wants hugs or chocolate or whatever, honestly don't even bother asking, I've got a headmate already and a three-way shuffle's not much more awkward than a two-way."

Permalink

She waits for Sangua (and Lily and the local Anakin – she isn't letting go of Elesse) to move to the bed, then... She jumps over, turns her face into Lily, and curls up.

Permalink

She's now getting two sets of mental cuddles, too.

Permalink

And Ruby steps back from Elesse. "I'm grabbing her girlfriend – hopefully I'll be right back." She thinks she can get a near-instant timing down... 

Permalink

"We will be here- Or else on the watch for your return."

Permalink

Nod. "Thanks – I'll be fine, go hug Anakin."

Permalink

Yes, that does seem the thing to do.

Permalink

Oh, good, Elesse hugs return. (She's just going to sandwich herself between Lily and Elesse. And not think about how nice cuddling Lily feels is probably one of those weird fucked up trauma responses Palpatine loved to encourage.)

Permalink

She's, meanwhile, going to write a letter for Earth Bet's Lily – The Artist Formerly Known as Bonesaw, but they seriously need to pick distinguishing names... Anyways, she writes an explanatory little thing to swap Skywalker for, then...

Hm.

Maybe if she doesn't hop all the way, instead thinks of this more like a tiger's paw lashing out from the shadows to hook in her prey? Or a cat's from under the couch.

...She bops outside then finds a nice little stretch of not-flammable beach.

Permalink

Then: tiger!

She focuses on Skywalker, forms a scry in flickering life-sized flames... 

And lashes her paw out, phasing only partially between worlds – enough to drop the letter, hopefully enough to grab the cape...

Permalink

Wagh!

Permalink

She hops back. "Sorry for the sudden grab – there's a time dilation, I didn't want to bop over, explain things, and have like weeks or worse pass here, your girlfriend kinda needs hugs now – we found a whole four alt sets, she can apparently possess her alts so she is, also think she had a panic attack?"

Permalink

"Take me to her, please."

Permalink

Bop! To the cuddle pile! (Or like, to 'standing next to the bed with the cuddle pile.')

Permalink

Skywalker's girlfriend immediately raises her head, reaching out with a soft, "Darling..."

Permalink

That is Anakin, yep. And also... other Anakins? Strange. They look similar, if younger. (Also there is a her, which is strange. Perhaps something about everyone being Force-sensitive also amplifies the effect compared to Ruby and Ereshkigal?) But such musings can wait.

"I'm here, sweetheart."

Permalink

The local Anakin rolls to the side a bit.

Permalink

Enabling Skywalker's Anakin to sit up enough to grab her girlfriend's hand. "...Cuddles?"

Permalink

"Since it's you asking." She lets herself be tugged down onto the bed next to her girlfriend and wraps her arms around her.

Permalink

Cuddles!!!

Oh this is nice, Anakin hasn't been able to so much as properly hug her girlfriend before...
