mental link, day...36? sure.

[ Technically, it came up a few days ago, but Sam's been letting something bounce around in his head to see if the possibility gets less troublesome after he sleeps on it. And sleeps on it a couple more times.

or he's just saying it late so the newbies can hear it too, w/e

It's not getting any less freaky. So, out of left field: ]

( So if aliens can hack our emotions, do we...actually know they can't mess with everything else? Memories? Are we actually who we think we are?

What if there is no spoon? )

[Golf claps.]

( Why? )

[headinjuries]

( My dad was one of the prisoners. )

[snaphiss]

( That is the sort of bantha-brained, idiotic, ridiculous plan I'd normally say only a Jedi could pull off. )

( Good job. )

[headinjuries]

( It wasn't really a plan, exactly. )

[ Plan implies there was any planning beyond "I'M GOING TO GO GIVE THESE JERKS SOME WHAT FOR." ]

[snaphiss]

[What is the mental equivalent of a groan.]

( Are you sure you're not a Jedi? )

[headinjuries]

[ well that question is sure five times funnier when you look at the part where ren's teaching him some stuff ]

( I wish. )

[ No, really, Jedi are the shit. He totally wrote that in one of those "what do you want to be when you grow up" assignments in first grade. ]

[snaphiss]

[Ah, it's time for The Talk.]

( Luke Skywalker really isn't all the propaganda holos make him out to be, I promise. )

[headinjuries]

[ Pr...opaganda holos. Sure! ]

( He still did some pretty cool stuff. )

[snaphiss]

[do you know what a disaster the death star's explosion was for the economy ughhhh]

( Believe me, his greatest feat was surviving all of it. And he still needed my help for a significant portion. )

[headinjuries]

( Surviving stuff is still pretty impressive sometimes. )

[ He may be biased, having survived a Hulk smash. He thinks that was pretty impressive of him, tyvm. ]

[snaphiss]

( You're right, it is. You should write about that in your diary. )

[headinjuries]

( Yeah, no. )

[snaphiss]

( You've seen the holos. Have you heard of the Jedi Mind Trick? )

[headinjuries]

( Yeah, what about it? )

[snaphiss]

( Wouldn't it be an awful thing if that happened to you? )

[headinjuries]

( Why does everyone around here act like it's super cool, no big deal to screw with people's heads? )

[ Y'ALL CRAY ]

[snaphiss]

( It isn't, that's my point. The best way to know if such a thing has been done is to write down your thoughts and memories. )

[headinjuries]

( Ugh, fine. )

[snaphiss]

[You can probably feel her preening through the link. Good job, Mara. You're great with kids, Mara.]

( Thank you, Sam. )

[headinjuries]

[ UGH YOU'RE THE WORST ]
