[basically anytime?]

A. Jedi Practice

[There might not be any other Jedi Knights in the fleet, but that isn't going to stop Vima from honing her skills. She doesn't have a lightsaber and she isn't keen on practicing mind stuff on unsuspecting friends, but there's still plenty she can do, and does.

She can hone her telekinesis skills by hovering small objects or tripping doors, lifting herself off the ground, or maybe using the Force to heighten her sight and hearing.]

B. Puttering

[If she's not practicing with the Force, Vima can be found piloting, or maybe hanging out in the engine room taking a look at things, or straightening up the bunkroom, kitchen, or cargo hold. (Maybe with the Force as an assistant with the heavier stuff.)

She may or may not be poking around in things she isn't much good at, but Vima would rather do something she's not supposed to than do nothing at all.]

A!

[survives]

[Okay, that is totally not what Leanne was expecting to see here.

She can only watch in silence at first, while Vima (and it's totally Vima doing it, right?!) actually makes things float and--

--Wow.]

That's so awesome! [She claps, practically bouncing on the balls of her feet.] You're the one doing that, right?!

[tobeajedi]

[It's probably a mark of how much Vima does practice that she doesn't start and "drop" the little boxes that are slowly orbiting her head when she hears Leanne, but her presently heightened awareness also let her know that Leanne was approaching.

They do slow to a halt, though.]

I sure am! [Vima grins.] It's kind of a basic exercise, though. The sort of thing apprentices do.

[survives]

Apprentices?! [She laughs, crossing her arms. Whooaaa, is she serious right now? Is she really?]

Wow! I can't imagine what other things you could do if that's what apprentices do. It's... It's gotta be so awesome!

[tobeajedi]

Hah, you should see my mom... she's a Jedi Master, and she can show how much she earned the title. [Vima hasn't always thought so highly of her mom's abilities and responsibilities, but after training with Ulic and this several-month separation, she finds herself more and more appreciative of Nomi's accomplishments.] The Force can allow you to do so many things, if you put your trust in it. But it's a big responsibility too.

[survives]

[A Jedi Master? Oh, she definitely has to find out just what that is at some point.]

I guess it would be, huh? The... the Force? It figures it's gotta have a catch, too, I guess. [A laugh.] And with everything you can do...

[--Nah, focus on the cool stuff, not the potential danger.]

[tobeajedi]

[Yup, the Force--not the most poetic of names when you think about it, but it gets the job done. Vima nods.]

You can get in trouble with it if you're not careful. But I plan to be careful. [she's already made one... probable screw-up with it here, granted.] Maybe I'll even figure out something nobody's tried before, who knows?

[survives]

[She frowns, tapping a finger against her cheek. Yes, that...]

I bet you will! [She grins.] There probably aren't a lot of Jedi Masters on Reality TV, you know? So you're seeing new things already! And... And that's gotta help, right?
