"Of course." She'll send it over - it's fairly bare bones on how she actually acquired the information, but it's thorough on what she was told (about Plagueis, not Vader).

Asha takes it. "You're not confined to quarters but don't leave the Temple. Maybe think about signing up for more classes. Discover a new hobby."

Permalink

Sigh. "Sure."

It's time to work on her katas, if nothing else - and some of the things Vader said... Meinwen doesn't know enough about the more in depth, esoteric parts of Force theory for her thoughts to fully gel.

"I have some research I've been meaning to do on the nature of shatterpoints," she says after a moment of thought, "And I'll see if Elesse wants to spar more." Elesse definitely needs someone trying to maintain social connections with her who isn't a Sith Lord.

"New hobbies, I said... Oh whatever. Just stay out of trouble."

Permalink

"I'll do my best."

Permalink

With that settled for now, Asha apparently has business to take care of this morning.

Permalink

She'll head to the library in the meantime (and message Elesse asking for a spar later; she mentions she got put back on house - or, well, Temple - arrest).

Permalink
Officially??
Permalink

no i just got grounded until further notice by master antilles

 

but like if i try to leave the temple she might get it upgraded

Permalink
Not as bad as it could be, I guess. What's she going to do?
Permalink

she accepted my report at least, will look into things, but she doesn't think taking out plagueis will matter that much. she's more concerned about vader, says this is a trap, wants to prevent vader from 'profitting by our actions'

i tried arguing but she isn't listening to me

Permalink
And now you begin to see.
Permalink

...yeah. they didn't freak out too much about fidela but i guess vader's different

but i don't know what we can do against plagueis without help

and if getting them to at least START looking in the right place means i get grounded and get black marks on my record, so be it

Permalink
Yeah. Hope something comes of it.
Permalink

i'll follow up. and now you can say i told you about all this if you want to talk to master organa? 

Permalink
Right. I can do that.

may the force be with you

Despite Meinwen's trouble, Elesse still has freedom of movement, which means she has an appointment with a certain Lily to keep.

Permalink

Lily's waiting for her at their agreed meeting place, in one of the mid-low levels where they're very unlikely to be bothered by law enforcement, with significant vertical texture and gaps between buildings manageable even by (sufficiently skilled) individuals without the Force, plus some more daring routes involving utility lines or just extra wide gaps. There's enough graffiti in ambitious places to suggest they're not the only ones who've noticed this area is good for parkour (Lily may or may not have a few canisters of spray paint in her bag). Lily's dressed down, more simply than Elesse's ever seen her - thick leggings in a dark gold with purple stripes up the side paired with a purple sports bra with gold river patterns on it. The fabric looks a bit worn, knees starting to discolor and consider fraying, a waviness in the bra's lower band suggesting it's losing its elascity, hints of splotchy stains that never quite washed out in both. Her purple running shoes have some uneven coloration on the mesh, but look a bit newer. No jewelry, also, which is a first (in her civilian identity). 

She spots Elesse right away and waves.

Permalink

"Hello there."

Permalink

"Hey there yourself."

"Have you thought more about the route you want?"

Permalink

"I'm playing it by ear. Perhaps you can recommend an easy warm-up for the casual hobbyist?"

Permalink

She nods. "I've done some scouting - we could set out together, find a good route, then race back?" 

Permalink

"Works well enough for me. Shall I try to guess which tags are yours on the way?"

Permalink

"Sure, though I wasn't exactly going for 'subtle;' I used pretty much the same tag throughout." (If Elesse looks, there's actually a suspiciously fresh tag visible from their meeting place, on the underside of a wide and deep balcony with no clear place for an aspiring artist to stand or even anchor a climbing rope to dangle from. It's a white and gold lily over an Aurebesh 'forn,' in an elaborate calligraphic style Lily's shown her before. Only a few other tags are present there, most of them pretty clearly old.)
