Homecoming Dance | Town Hall | Saturday Evening | Post I

Glitter encrusted moosen stood guard in the entry to the transformed Town Hall, reminding all those in attendance that the night was about all things Canadian. Or things the Student Council had deemed Canadian - plus a whole lot of glitter.

Sparkly red maple leaves and paper geese hung from irridescent streamers, setting off the food tables as very much separate from the raised dance floor in case the terrifying papier-mâché beaver didn't make it obvious that the timbits were for eating. Or for dunking in the maple syrup fountain. Beyond pure sugar, there were plenty of bite-size portioned food and nonalcoholic beverages to push the theme into the bellies of all, no matter how tight the dresses!

Beyond the dance floor, the shadowy corners glowed with the twinkle of glittery maple leaf garland and a Joni Mitchell inspired moose that had been strategically positioned to look rather tragic in its lyric-covered glory. Yes, glory. For the evening was to be glorious. Or at the very least entertaining.

Welcome to your 2011 Homecoming Dance!

"So far. Gryph was in town over Parent's Weekend and actually gave his blessing to use our money to keep everything going, which is a bonus," Zayne said.
solo_sword: (but! but!)

"...I missed Gryph too?" she realized.

"Sorry. Although it might be for the best. If he ever met someone from the future, you'd never get him to stop trying to get good tips about investments and heists," Zayne said.
solo_sword: (understated)

"As far into the future as I am, I wouldn't be much of a help there anyway," she pointed out.

"You don't know Gryph. I wouldn't put it past him to set some things up for his descendants," Zayne said. "Even four thousand years later."
solo_sword: (interested)

Jaina paused. "Suddenly I'm wondering if he's maybe the Lando of your time."

"Maybe. Who's Lando?" Zayne asked.
solo_sword: (dark)

"Friend of the family. He's had more than a few hot-right-now business ventures in the time I've been alive, including mining and droid manufacturing," she said. "I think he and Gryph would be friends."

"Really? I think they'd be competitors," Zayne mused. "They might sit down and have a drink, but they'd be playing some kind of game only they would see."
solo_sword: (well then)

"That's pretty much what I meant," she admitted. "My family friends are maybe not like other peoples'..."

"Oh, in that case, sure," Zayne said. "I didn't realize that. Half of my personal friends have tried to beat me up or turn me in at one point or another, but my family's friends are much nicer to each other."
solo_sword: (hmmm)

Jaina frowned slightly. "Half your personal friends might have problems," she decided.

"Oh, no. That was before we got to know each other. I have a habit of turning people who'd like to hurt me into friends," Zayne said. "Cassus Fett even respects and kind of likes me as far as I can tell, and he's leading the war against the Republic."

"The Force really does act strangely sometimes."
solo_sword: (calm)

"Or you're just really likable," Jaina said. Which really was possible.

"When I was a youngling, Master Vandar thought that my ability to form connections with people was my road to being able to use the Living Force better, so it probably all ties together," Zayne mused.
solo_sword: (Default)

"That does make sense, when you think about it," she realized, totally thinking about it now.

"And part of the reason I never really grew into my abilities at a normal pace is because my Masters believed exclusively in the Unifying Force to a psychotic degree," Zayne said.

"I've had a lot of time to think about these things over the past year."
solo_sword: (curious)

Jaina tilted her head, suddenly really interested. "You think their philosophy held you back?" she asked.

"It's part of my 'learning disability' with the Force. I was only ever going to really explore my connection if I came at it the right way. But nobody had seen someone like me before, so they didn't know what the right way was," Zayne said. "Lucien's view of the Force was completely wrong for me. It wasn't until I started doing it my way and using what Gryph taught me that I started to figure it out."
solo_sword: (listening)

"So you think the correct view of the Force depends on the person?" she asked. It wasn't so much that she was interested in philosophy, but she didn't so much like that Jacen had the same view as Lucien.

"I don't think there's really a 'correct' view of it as long as you're not using it for dark reasons or something," Zayne said. "But I'm proof that people are connected to it in different ways. And sometimes you can only get to that connection from a certain direction."
solo_sword: (back)

"Hm," she said, having something new to think about. "Thanks for that."

"You're welcome," Zayne said. "Especially since that means it sounds like I know what I'm talking about. I'm kind of a special tutor for the Council if they spot other kids with Force disabilities like I have. I haven't been called up to help yet, but it's nice to know that I can at least explain the way I see things."
solo_sword: (impressed)

"That's really good," Jaina said, really meaning that. "For the kids, and for the Council to know that they might not know everything for every person."

"They learned that the hard way," Zayne said. "And with the Revanchist movement taking so many Jedi, they need to replenish the ranks of Jedi loyal to the Council, so they need some of the kids who are progressing a little slow."

"I'm glad I can help, but I'm even more glad that I don't have to be concerned about the politics of all that anymore."
