phantasmalrift | First Big Post

What? This is Bastila's first big post.
Who? Everyone, open to all.
Where? Around Keystone Station, please see titles.
Why? Because, introducks, boredom.
Warnings: Not that I know of.

A. Medical Bay or Infirmary
[Bastila has not been to the medical bay or infirmary yet. She is not sick, but she saw the sign that said she was supposed to go get checked out upon arrival. She has been putting it off, but she usually tries to obey the rules. So, one morning, she just walks in the door.]

"Hello? Anyone here?"

2. On The Beach
[Bastila goes for a walk along the beach. It is a little overcast, but not raining. She is enjoying the view as well as the peace and quiet. She sits cross-legged on a rock for about half an hour. She is quiet and her eyes are closed, she must be meditating, right?]

"Okay, time to stretch my legs back out."

[Bastila stands up and walks out onto the beach, away from the rocks. She takes out her lightsaber and activates it. She starts practicing her skills. Her yellow, double-bladed lightsaber twirls so fast it leaves a light trail.]

III. Kitchen and Common Area
[Bastila walks into the kitchen of Keystone Apartments carrying her very large, bulk bag of brown sugar. She looks around, then opens the freezer and places it in there. Then she moves on to the common area. She sits down on the couch, and takes out her phone. She is trying to figure this thing out. She is familiar with similar technology, but wants to make sure that she knows how her new "toy" works. Please feel free to stop by and talk about anything.]

D. What Else You Got?
[Anything really, just please remember to keep it PG-13.]

Lin was strolling beachwards when she noticed someone meditating. She was about to turn around and leave so as to give them some peace and quiet when Bastila stood up abruptly.

Well, apparently she was done, so Lin waved. "Hello! I don't think I've seen you around here before!"

[Bastila starts in surprise. She must have been really focused. She did not notice Lin.]

Oh, hello. My name is Bastila. I am new here. I am a Jedi Knight. I do not suppose you know what that means?

I'm Lin.

I can't say that I do. What's a Jedi do?

Hello, Lin. The Jedi Knights are the guardians of the galaxy, at least they are where I am from. No one here seems to even recognize the term.

Sounds like a very important job. I'm barely even guardian of one city!

[Bastila laughs lightly at that.]

Well, I am not the only Jedi Knight. There are many of us. We work together to guard the galaxy from evil. We use the Force to help defend the weak and free the oppressed. It is highly satisfying to help those in need.

You are the guardian of a city? Would you tell me more about that?

Well, it's not like an official thing.

I took down the Phoenix King and Dragon Emperor before either of them could conquer the world, which was all well and good, but New Hong Kong was still a mess rife with gangsters and slave traders and worse. So me and my friend Zihao were working on just...generally sort of cleaning things up so normal people didn't have to be afraid all the time.

[Oh, Lin. You have no idea, do you? I wish I was as humble as you are.]

Give yourself some credit, Lin. It sounds like you saved a lot of people. You are a heroine. That is exactly what a Jedi Knight would do.

Right, sure. I beat up a god before he could destroy the world. I know what kind of accomplishment that is.

[Maybe not ENTIRELY humble.]

I'm just saying we don't really have fancy titles or anything. Maybe we should...

Yes, Lin-Sama. You should have a suitable title. Would you tell me more about yourself? If you prefer, we could train. Are you familiar with the use of a sword?

Edited 2018-10-03 18:52 (UTC)

Oh no not here. Back home people might take us more seriously if we had some title like "Protectors of New Hong Kong" or something. Here I'm just Lin.

[She glanced at the lightsaber curiously.] I know the basics of swordplay, but I'm hardly an expert. I'm more comfortable unarmed or with a staff. What IS that thing? I've never seen a sword like that before.

[Bastila smiled]

Well, "Just Lin," I think that "The Protectors of New Hong Kong" sounds perfect. We can spar with staffs if you prefer. This is a lightsaber. It is basically a beam of light solidified through crystals. I used staffs and swords before I earned this.

If you like. Morning meditation can wait until later.

[She looked around for a likely looking stick, as she hadn't come prepared for armed sparring.]

I didn't actually bring a staff...

[Bastila looks around on the ground for a large, useful stick as well.]

I do not have a staff either. I will help you look for a likely stick.

[After a few minutes, and a bit of wandering, they still have not found one.]

Well, we could always practice empty-handed. You said you are good at hand-to-hand? Perhaps we should set some rules.

[Arianna walks into the kitchen just in time to see something very familiar happening!]

Oh! Dame Bastila! Are you experimenting with the freezer?

[Bastila looks up from the freezer.]

Hello, Dame Arianna. Is that what this is called? I have seen ice boxes and refrigeration units before, but I do not recall seeing a freezer. I thought that this would be a good place to keep this brown sugar. It is even sweeter than regular sugar and would surely attract insects if left lying around.

I would have assumed the cabinets sufficient to prevent such an outcome, but in truth you may be right. I wondered if perhaps you were curious to see what would happen.

[Bastila shuts the freezer door and walks away. It was getting cold. She walks toward the kitchen table, grabs a glass of water, and sits down. She is perched on the edge of her chair as if she will not stay there long, as though she is compelled to move on soon. Her voice, however, gives no hint of her pent up energy.]

Please sit and have something to drink. To answer your question, I wanted to prevent anything happening to such a large supply of something so sweet, but I was also curious about how this particular cooling device works. Do you know the specifics?
