Tahiri didn't usually sleep in late; she'd been up for a few hours, looking the room over and figuring things out for her little redecorating project. Her desk was going to have to get moved if there was going to be room for that table she wanted to put in, and maybe she could just shove the dresser into the closet? Of course, she'd have to move ( Read more... )

( Tahiri and her two Jedi Master companions had circled around the Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers that hovered outside the collapsed hole the construction droid had bored into the side of a ziggurat, and met up with Face on a floor half a kilometer up. 'Interesting . . .' )

( Well, getting out of the turbolift had been fun; luckily Mara'd had the access code to deactivate the security system, but Tahiri was still living down the mortification of nearly cutting Bhindi's head off when she'd lost her balance while trying to cut a hole through the lift doors. )

( They were in a long gallery that had once been flanked by stores and emporiums now, still following Luke's lead; he'd been following what he said was some sense of distant wrongness in the Force, but neither Tahiri nor Mara had consistently picked up on the same thing.

( They'd taken a circuitous route to get the scant few hundred meters out from the kill zone, which under normal circumstances would annoy Tahiri, but as she trailed Luke and Mara she knew it was a tactic to shake off any Yuuzhan Vong who might be watching them. (Here there be fighty, banter, and the other person what lives in Tahiri's head.) )

( So far, Tahiri was a little annoyed that she was missing spring break for this. )

Tahiri, after some debate (and Dinah's persuasion), had decided that the school spring break trip sounded like it would be fun after all, even if initially the idea of being out on the water didn't seem like a good idea for a girl who'd grown up in the desert and still couldn't really swim.
