h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Plot Hook*
This was the place where Vader and Luke fought it out in ESB. There is a narrow gantry suspended above a long drop to the anti-grav array at the bottom of Bespin.

*a hooded Jedi walks to the middle of the gantry*

*hooks wire to belt, and then to the gantry to allow him to rappel down the shaft if needed*

*pulls 'saber into hand and kneels in meditation, as if waiting for something (someone?)*

*remains kneeling but pulls a single cigarette from his pocket and lights it*

*rolls eyes*

This could be a long wait.

*follows the pull of the force to this place, mutters something that sounds suspiciously like f**k it, waves at the guy on the shaft and turns around, intending to go visit her dad*

*shakes his head*

*mutters*c'w'rd*/mutters*

*bristles, and turns*

Did you just call me a coward?

<nope, that should have been in <>s>

No Velte, your bravery is unquestioned, if a little misplaced...

*wonders if she could throw all the way across the shaft*

Ok. Well you obviously didn't come here to discuss interesting literature.

*takes one of the five little explosives off her belt, taps it once, and throws it at him*

*with a gesture, the bomb stops half way*

No Velte, you couldn't

*Stands upright*

And I'd be careful, an explosion in the generators could send this city plummeting. Everyone here would die.

well then maybe we could fight somewhere where there's no risk of that.

*backs off a step, looking nervous and slightly unsteady , her hand straying to her blaster*

Why, is there a problem with this city falling into the core? I'm sure a darksider such as yourself wouldn't care? And besides, who fights with bombs and blasters anymore?

*Pulls saber to hand*

*looks around nervously hoping no-one is looking*

There is an unresolved issue here, I can't afford to lose the city until it's been resolved.

*wishes she'd practiced moving about a bit in her full human form*

you don't happen to feel like fighting over here where we won't risk falling in?

Where'd be the fun in that Velte? Anyway, you have the advantage, shift on your way down and you can land on your feet...

i don't want to shift here.
They'll recognise me. And some people have some issues with me.

*Gets out her blaster*

I still have damn good aim though.

*narrows her eyes, and puts her finger on the trigger*

*ignites 'saber*

And I'm damn good at cricket, besides, a stray bolt into a power relay? Dangerous isn't it?

I won't risk it.

I can just turn around and walk away.

*puts her blaster back in it's holster and walks, rather stiffly away*

That's Tobru talking, I can feel it, there's someone here you want to protect. The Dark side doesn't hold you yet.

Yes it DOES!!!
For crying out loud. Stop it with this Tobru, rejoin the light stuff. I am Darth Velte. And I am with the Dark Side.

*her hand twitches towards her 'saber*

Then why are you trying to protect your father?
