"Nice to meet you. And, sure, that sounds useful. Inside?"

Permalink

"Inside your place? Sure."

And in she goes. She sits at one of the corners of the table, so that Daisy can sit next to her - which she does, and takes her hand - and Trevor can sit more or less facing them without being uncomfortably far away.

Permalink

He sits. "Hi, Daisy." He turns to Dusk. "Have you napped since you woke up or something?"

Permalink

"No. I could, I guess."

Permalink

"Okay. So, you no longer can dream, instead every time you go to sleep you will be able to dreamshape. Which means that you will be able to add space to your pocket dimension and creates portals connecting it and other dimensions. You will get a sense, similar to proprioperception to what you can do with your dimension."

"-nice."

Permalink

"Isn't it just? So... let me see... Ah, pocket dimensions sort of exist adjacent to reality, imagine something like a different layer, but connected? There are bits of your overlapping over this house and others overlapping the city Daisy took in and something like a line connecting the two. Now that you can control the expansion, you will be able to expand as you like... Does that make sense?"

Permalink

"I'd noticed that, yeah; that was pretty bizarre when Daisy started moving me. Being able to control it sounds good." Not being able to control where other people put theirs, less so, but she'll deal with that later; for now she keeps her casual smile.

Permalink

"Oh? You could tell? Interesting. Huh... I don't know what else to say. Do you have any questions?"

Permalink

Hm. "Does it have to be continuous? If I was on a different planet, say."

Permalink

"Not it doesn't. But you'd need to go to the different planet first. You can expand bits of your dimension that are far away."

Permalink

Nod. "Is there any way to get into or out of them besides the portals?"

Permalink

"Ah, yes. Not exactly safe, but you can walk to the edge until you vanish and reappear somewhere else. Which can be outside the dimension. Wouldn't have worked on you while you were asleep, but others can use that to leave. It's not safe because you can appear anywhere that can support your weight, including places that leave you trapped or some other sort of danger."

Permalink

"Okay. But if I'm in my dimension and just close all the portals, nobody else can get in? Except other dreamshapers, I guess."

Permalink

"Pretty much. Someone could try the edge vanishing trick, but then the other dimension's edge needs to be suitably place and then it might just put them somewhere and then it might put then somewhere dangerous. And given that your dimension throws lightning at invaders, somewhere dangerous might be anywhere they land on there. Also, they're pretty hard to notice. I don't know how it interacts with the Force, but back home they're perfect for hiding."

Permalink

She nods again. "And what are your plans, for other dreamshapers?"

Permalink

"There are no plans for other dreamshapers? I might become one eventually. Where 'eventually' means a long, long time. But we need to know how to navigate the Galaxy safely first while using our capabilities and defending the dreamshard. And that doesn't even touch finding other people we can trust with the power or even with the information that the dreamshard exists."

Permalink

"Good. It might not feel like it, but you got very lucky, landing here; you have the space to figure out how to do that. Not that we shouldn't be on alert for other Sith anyway, but the chance of them finding it at random is negligible at least."

Permalink

Nod nod. "Yeah, Felix's reading about the Galaxy was... not exactly reassuring about how easy it would be to navigate."

Permalink

"Mm. Well, it depends on what you want to do, I suppose. There are plenty of different species and cultures, but if you stay more or less in one place you generally won't need to know about more than a handful of them. And if you do move around regularly it's not too infeasible to just do your research first."

Permalink

"We want to do the most good given our capabilities. That is the only fundamental thing. So we don't mind being slow and stay in the same planet for a long while. We are no hurry, or at least not a hurry where we will want to trade-off speed for carefulness." Shrug.

Permalink

She nods, thoughtfully. "Hutt territory might be the place to start, then. It's not safe, but there aren't many Sith there, and Hutts are big on slavery - you'd have plenty to do."

Permalink

He makes a face but nods. "Do you think we could pass dreamshaping as some unusual technology if it ever comes up?"

Permalink

"Not to a Sith. To someone who wasn't force-sensitive, maybe, depending on how much science they know - if you say it's based on an experimental NQF generator that'd be plausible to anybody but a hyperspace physicist, I think, at least as long as they don't see much of the dimension itself."
