Room 313- Wednesday evening

[solo_sword]

The comlink project was turning out to be harder than Jaina had intended, but she was determined to get it done. Even if it meant getting Lowie on the comm to instruct her on how to do it. That was not going well. There was no mistaking the frustration in Jaina's voice, and while a bystander might not understand the growls and such coming from the other end of the line, there was frustration happening there, too.

"I have an idea," Jaina said finally, rubbing a temple. "Think you can get one set up from there and send it to me?"

Lowie grumbled his agreement at that, to which she replied good-naturedly, "Good Wookiee."

And yet as soon as the call was over Jaina was trying again, because again, determined.


[Door and post open post-call.]

"Uh huh. As long as they're somewhere they can be reached, anyway," she added. "My parents fall off the radar when they're trying not to be found by bad guys. It happens more than you'd think."

Rose nodded, not wanting to say the whole obvious conclusion of 'so when/if you have to go home, you'll get to keep in touch.' "I believe it," she said, thinking of her mother and rolling her eyes a little. "They always gotta be on duty and stuff?"

[solo_sword]

"Not always anymore. Used to be they just ended up in the middle of bad situations whether they meant to be there or not, but since the war's over they're actually in one place and available," she said, and that was still a little weird for her. "Far cry from the old days, and I'm sure it won't stick."

"Yeah, I honestly can't decide if your parents are awesome or insane," she said.

[solo_sword]

"Both," she said immediately, and honestly. "At least it's the fun kind of insane? Till people start shooting?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough," Rose said easily. "And I want some of the insane ones on my side when the shooting starts."

[solo_sword]

Jaina frowned, thinking about this. "I know a lot of them. They're called Wraiths. I can spare some, should you ever need them."

"You're going to send me a bunch of ghosts?" Rose asked. "No way, I don't do ghosts until next week."

[solo_sword]

"Would you rather space aliens? Pilots. I'm sure I could even still get away with bossing some of them around," she mused. "Tahiri can back me up on the insanity."

"They're less crazy at least? Cute pilots?" It was an important question. Even if they were crazy.

[solo_sword]

"Some of them might be considered attractive, depending on your species preference," she said diplomatically. The Gammorrean was a real looker.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"No then," Rose concluded. Her species preference might be wider than a normal humans what with the dhampir and Moroi tossed in, but - yeah.

[solo_sword]

"They don't look like our guys, let's put it that way." The Wraiths weren't trolls or anything, but Jaina would admit her bias.

"I'll just like 'em for the crazy then," she decided. "Were they your people during the war?"

[solo_sword]

"'My people?'" Jaina repeated with a little smile. "I worked with them some. I had a couple follow me around for goddess training, for the most part. That was more about the psychological warfare, less on blowing things up."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"It's vaguely annoying I can't even mock you about throwing around the term 'goddess training' like that," Rose teased. "Were they doing the training or being the worshippers?"

[solo_sword]

"My alter ego could have had you destroyed for mocking anyway," she teased back. "They did the training, while getting to call me Great One and doing all my dirty work for me for show. That part got really old really fast."

Rose snickered. "Yes, it must have been terrible. Really. My heart bleeds."

[solo_sword]

"It was nice for a couple days, and it got me my job back, and then it became a hassle to not be able to go and see anyone directly, but to call Piggy and have him bring them to me so I could tell them something," Jaina said. "Not fun. Annoying."
