you can call me great one

Jaina wasn't exactly the type to avoid her own room, which was why she went back there after class. She'd resigned herself to having a really weird week and decided she just needed to acclimate herself to new people and new information, and that'd be that.

And so far she hadn't spoken of any of the new arrivals to Kyp, considering she'd changed the subject whenever it came up here. So even though it looked like she was just sitting on her bed looking over a datapad, she was really wondering if that was a conversation she really wanted to have.


[Door and post open!]

Today hadn't been bad so far, which was more than a little surprising, and Jaina decided she might as well capitalize on it by doing some training so she could feel more accomplished. After going for a quick run around the island- Myrkr had definitely showed her that keeping up stamina was a very good thing- she was happy to find the flight shed on her first try, figuring she could get some more time in there. Yes, again. Shush.

[Open, should you wanna catch her.]

There were a lot of things Jaina didn't want to deal with when she left the stables. Which was why she'd spent as much time as possible in the flight shed, running through scenarios and occasionally picking up her comlink to call home whenever she'd thought of something that could be useful. And when she realized it was dark out, she knew she'd have to go back, mainly because this week it might take her a few hours to do so.

When she got back to Adorable Panda, her first stop, funnily enough, was to find John, still bunnified... and covered in chocolate. "If this is some sort of sign, we can grab dinner once you're human again," she said, picking him up and starting toward the bathroom, because he wasn't getting cuddles till he was clean again.

She could really deal with the distraction, yes.

Jaina had decided she didn't like the cabins anymore for privacy reasons. This time, though, it was for reasons a little different than not being able to get private time with her boyfriend. Namely, she tended to have nightmares more often than not lately, and even if she didn't always remember them it was something she didn't really want to share with her cabinmates. She'd stayed awake as long as possible till exhaustion finally took over, and then unsurprisingly jerked awake far too early and really hoped it'd been the sort of nightmare that didn't get anyone coming over to ask if she was okay.

When she'd calmed down, she decided she really didn't want to go back to sleep anyway and got out of bed as quietly as she could. She didn't even bother with shoes as she headed outside to sit on the front steps of the cabin, figuring that anything creepy and crawly that got close enough to be a danger deserved any zapping it got. She was half focused on looking for any critters, and half just wishing the sun would hurry up and rise already.

[Open!]

Jaina sort of felt like she should be doing something in preparation for all the trips home, besides stalking people for into as they got it. And getting frustrated when time in the computer lab proved that no, there was no possible way- for her, anyway- to try to connect to her galaxy's holonet from it, and even if she knew Lowie wouldn't be able to do it she still sent him a transmission asking anyway.

She'd tried meditating, gave up on that quickly, and said screw it all and did laundry instead. Putting it away was nice and mindless, but it worked.

[Expecting one, but post and door are open!]

Jaina had had a pretty busy day, playing Space Vampires and trying to break into Anakin's shuttle and all, but she was bored. She was bored and Jacen wasn't here, so she was going to have to make her own fun. Which meant she had to go exploring.

It was probably best not to ask how she found the entrance into the sewers, except that she had a lot of practice wandering into the lower levels of Coruscant, and this was pretty much the reason she came down here at all. She didn't like it, though. It was boring and it made her want to take a bath and there was something wrong with anything that made her want to do that.

She sighed and thought about giving up and seeing if the ruins of that one building would be any fun, but kept going for a while anyway, just in case. And she lucked out when she saw the little gremlin, who saw her at the same time, and they both stopped in their tracks. She knew it was a bad idea to go near it, but it looked more scared than harmful, or at least she thought so in all her infinite six-year-old wisdom, so it was probably okay. And Jacen didn't have one yet and they didn't even have gremlins back home.

"Wait right there!" she ordered, and took off running to get back to the surface.

She returned some time later with a box for the gremlin to go in, but it didn't listen to her and wandered off, and no matter how far she kept walking, she couldn't find it again. Finally she gave up and turned around, muttering things about stupid gremlins.

When Jaina got back to her room, she found a few packages outside her door. She hadn't expected anything, considering she still had zero idea what the holiday was even about, but she appreciated it. And upon going inside and opening them, she realized that this was another one of those things she could never tell her aunt about Luke.

The common room and the former six or seven feet of hair that she'd spent a really large portion of her Christmas Eve chopping into a reasonable length above her shoulders had kept her busy for a while, but she wasn't doing well giving herself any time to think. There were things she was very specifically trying to avoid thinking about, thanks. Alone time wasn't conducive to avoidance.

( how avoiding stuff totally equals doing potentially stupid things )

[NFI, property stolen with permission, la.]

Between the end of Parents Weekend (including the meeting she was glad went as well as it did), Fandom finding even more ways to scar her, and other things, Jaina was having a pretty interesting week so far.

Some parts of it (okay, the Parents Weekend parts only), she knew she had to actually update people about, especially since it was official that she wouldn't be going home permanently for a while. Which was why she'd started recording a transmission to her mother before realizing talking about how great her weekend with her dad was might not be such a great idea, and had resumed sitting there and trying to figure out what to say.

[For Karal, but open, much like the door. SP for workishness and time zones yay.]

After last night's trip to the common room, Jaina was still cracking up internally. Sorry, but now she had enough mocking opportunities for John, Karal and Gavin to last her for a good long time.

And she was pretty much getting ready to attempt tracking them down to do so, definitely knowing where to start.


[For ltcolkirk, but open. So's the door. Look, I remembered to put that up!]

After classes, Jaina headed back up to her room and started trying to do that thing called cleaning her side of the room.

Pretty quickly, it turned into sitting on the floor, surrounded with small tins and crates, resorting all the spare parts she'd collected in preparation to take them down to the garage so she could work with them there. It was a kind of cleaning, really. Or it would be once she was done.


[For one in particular, but open. And SP till I get home from work.]
