meanwhile, on the ss babysitting duty

[resnipstance]

Who: Ahsoka Tano, you
Broadcast: Video
Action: OUT AND ABOOT
When: 31st

ACTION
[Ahsoka is wandering around outside with her usual air filtration mask on, but something is different-- obviously different. This isn't the sixteen-maybe-seventeen year old girl of yesterday. This is a pre-teen. And she seems lost.]

... Skyguy? ... Master Kenobi? I know you guys are around! You can come out now...! "Prank the padawan" isn't funny any more...

[She shudders.] This planet is giving me the creeps.

VIDEO
[The video is simple: a young, familiar alien graces the screen, except... something's off. Way off. It's not just that her clothes are different-- she's shorter, horns smaller, too. When she talks, her voice is more high pitched, and the cadence different too. Less... calm.]



Hey! Is everyone just okay with the fact that we can't go outside without air filters?! What sort of condition is this for people to live in? What's being done to help the local inhabitants? Or move them off-world?

I need to speak to the person or people in charge! Immediately.

Comments

[resnipstance]

[Well that's obviously a reference to something that happens in the future if she ever saw one.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[sandhate]

[ Her whining, bratty questions. Now, that's one thing he doesn't miss. ]

It means what it means. If you want me to give you an example, your reverse grip doesn't go away. No matter how hard I tried to teach you. You still expose your left side too much and favor your right.

[ Critiquing lightsaber techniques? Easy. He could do this in his sleep ]

[resnipstance]

[ Don't lie, you love it. ]

What! Come on! If you're going to taunt me with future stuff, at least tell me something good!

[sandhate]

Oh, that isn't good enough for you, Snips? Maybe you should ask Obi-Wan instead then.

[resnipstance]

[Crossing her arms--]

... Obi-Wan said he won't tell me anything.

[sandhate]

And he's right. We should not and will not be telling you anything about the future. I already broke that rule by telling you you still prefer your reverse grip.

[resnipstance]

Please. We both know there's nothing you can say that'll convince me to give it up, Skyguy.

[sandhate]

[ Skyguy. She never calls him that anymore. He almost miss it, so he allows her nickname. For now. ]

There were a few moments where I thought my lessons had finally taken hold. But you're harder to teach, too stubborn and willful than most.

[resnipstance]

Then I guess it's a good thing I have a master that's more stubborn and willful than most, isn't it?

[sandhate]

[ Chuckling ] I'm sure Master Kenobi would beg to differ.

[resnipstance]

Aw, I don't know!

I think we make a good team.

[sandhate]

Heh. Some would call me a bad influence. What do you think of that, Snips?

[resnipstance]

What? Who says that!

I'll make them eat their words.

[Kind of... proving his point there... Ahsoka...]

[sandhate]

[ laughing ]

You don't have to know them. They're not worth our time.

[resnipstance]

I'll say.

They're only saying that because they don't know you! If they did, they'd change their minds.

[She's certain.]

[sandhate]

[ PRECIOUS CHILD..... how did he find you annoying back then. ]

I'm starting to believe you'll change their mind instead.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka grins.]

Well-- yeah. Maybe I will.

[sandhate]

Good.

[ He breaks for maybe a second. Then it's all smiles again. ]

Good to have you for backup, Snips.

[resnipstance]

... It's good to be here, Master.
