VIDEO:

Hey. [New Flooters, meet your resident weird-looking alien girl.] If you haven't met me yet, my name's Ahsoka Tano.

Starting tomorrow morning at 0700, I'm going to be holding regular guided meditation sessions in the Prayer Room for anyone who wants to learn. Lessons are free of charge and you don't need to know me or ask to come along. I'll be there every morning, so anyone can come as they please. [She figures that might help the anonymous person she promised to teach as well. They don't have to reveal who they are to her if they don't want to.]

I know it's early, but I thought early would be best so that those of you who have to go to work in the morning can make it. Plus, then you can start the day off on a high note! Meditation is a great way to help manage anxiety and stress. It's also proven to improve concentration and clarity of mind.

... In the evenings at 1800, I'll be holding some easy self defense classes in the Iskaulit gym, every Tuesday and Thursday. It's just basic stuff, like how to get away from different kinds of attackers. Don't worry if you think you're too small or not fit enough or whatever. There's a way for everyone.

It is a beginners class, but if you're experienced and want to help out, I'd appreciate any volunteers to partner up with people! Otherwise I'm going to be taking a lot of punches on my own, haha.

Anyway, that's all from me! Feel free to ask any questions, otherwise, hope to see you there.

ACTION:

[If you simply want to show up to one of Ahsoka's classes, just go ahead. She'll be where she said she'd be! You don't have to show up to the first class, you can handwave going any day of the week. Turn up to a full class, an empty class, it's up to you.

Also, if you have a character who would volunteer to help Ahsoka out with the self defense classes, feel free to just tag into any relevant top levels from beginners if they're relevant to your interests. Don't wait for me to match you up with people, in other words.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It's not a reaction she's unused to, and her expression doesn't waver. She just dismisses the little creations out of hand. There's no shift to her body language, either.]

Energy constructs. Electrokinesis, as I said.

... Of course.

[She relaxes fractionally, but it's clear she still disapproves. In the past she might have waved it off with "Well, she doesn't feel like a Sith Lord," but recently realising that there's been one right under her nose manipulating the last three years of her life and she never noticed? That tends to ramp up the paranoia a few notches.

Still, she can't go around accusing random people who aren't even from her universe of being Sith Lords, so... she settles for measured caution. Which, in Ahsoka, perhaps comes across as slightly aggressive.]

You were saying, about the Lattice?

[Shai folds her arms across her chest. It's not a defensive posture for her, just matter-of-fact. Ahsoka can be as put-upon as she wants, it results in barely a dent in Shai's overall affability.]

Twenty-nine planets, accessible through a series of honeycomb wormholes. Different systems and stars. Mostly humanoid, a few that aren't. We're a few hundred years into spaceflight as a collective.

... Huh. It sounds a lot like hyperspace.

Could be. I ain't much for the science side of it.

[She lifts one shoulder in a shrug. Her job's always ran the gamut of 'punch things'.]

No? ... What side are you much for, then?

[That is not subtle, child. Shai props one elbow in her off hand, reaches up to rub absently at her brow bone. No doubt, she's smart enough to connect the dots, but something tells her Ahsoka is probing her for information more than she's looking to extrapolate.]

I'm a soldier in a peacekeeper corps. When people start threatening planets with widescale destruction, we step in. Sometimes with extreme prejudice.

[Ahsoka is a lot of things, but subtle isn't one of them. That tends to happen when your master is Anakin I'M NOT OVER-REACTING Skywalker. Still, that answer endears her to Ahsoka, a little.]

... Huh. ... Can everyone just manipulate lightning like that where you're from?

No. But, ah... extranormal powers and abilities aren't uncommon, either. I've met a few other folks that can. Then you have things like your garden-variety regenerists, telekinetics, people who can null other powers entirely, or augment them in proximity. [Her mouth twitches, it's clear she doesn't really appreciate the term, but--] Lotta superheroes.

[Hold on.]

Wait. What's the difference between a superhero and a regular hero?

A ['silly'] uniform and a pseudonym, usually. They are very fond of spandex and leather.

[And wanton destruction, and escaping justice, and all manner of other things she doesn't at all condone.]

Uhhhhh...

I don't really get it, but okay.
