[Action]

[Today, Katie visits the Item Shop.  It's a short visit, and she's there to pick up anything remotely string-like that she can find. Why?  Kittens like string, and she's all out of the stash she had.

...okay, she may have other less frivolous reasons.  By this time she's mindful that certain grown ups may be looking for her, and thus her visit is hopefully timed for as few people around as possible.  In, out, a polite nod to the person behind the counter with the pretty hair, and back to the woods she goes.  Anyone that does see her in person might note she's thinner, but clean and tidy, unlike her last accidental appearance. 

She goes far deep into the forest with her string, sitting on a large, flat rock in the sun next to Rei's charm, and unwinds every different strand around her in the grass, threading it all carefully and lovingly between her fingertips as if blessing each one.  In a sense, she is.   The glamour she's stolen recently is going to a good cause, even if the cause is not readily apparent.]



((ooc:  you can run into her in the item shop by all means.  She's all the way down at the southernmost edge of the forest for anyone who might be out that way-- or might be using other means to search for someone.

Chances of hostility are pretty high.))

What's the string for?

[Luke starts gathering the things he was looking for. Something about Katie's behavior feels off, but she hasn't done anything too weird yet, like turning into a cat...]

Oh yea? What're you going to make?

[Luke picks up a few bottles sticks them in his pouch. He's acting uninterested, but he's paying attention.]

I've got an idea, but maybe you can tell me more?
thefinaljedi: (Looking Back)

[personal profile] thefinaljedi 2012-11-01 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid not. Care to teach me?
thefinaljedi: (Intrigued)

[personal profile] thefinaljedi 2012-11-04 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh.

[Luke watches, interested]

And you hope to trap your bad dreams with it?
thefinaljedi: (Nice Guy)

Really now? I know some people who could use something like that.

[Luke smiles]

D'you think you could help me make some of those sometime, Katie?
thefinaljedi: (Intrigued)

Everyone does. Even Jedi.

Meditation, Katie. And focusing on the good thoughts.

[He stoops to eye level with her]

If you want, I can show you how. You don't need to be a Jedi to do it.
thefinaljedi: (Serious Smile)

Not so fast kiddo.

[Luke pulls out a small silver object and hands it over to Katie.]

Take that with you, alright? It's a panic button. If you feel scared, or something bothers you again press it and Artoo will pick it up and we'll come running. Promise.

I did promise.

[Luke holds up a pinkie]

But you have to promise me that you'll ring the buzzer, young Padawan.
thefinaljedi: (Nice Guy)

[Luke wraps pinkies with Katie and shakes twice]

Good.

[He might feel something strange, but he's not going to say anything]

Be safe, Katie. May the Force be with you.
