WHO: Mara Jade Skywalker, Tenel Ka, Jaina Solo, and then any other Jedi (or Padme) who want to chime in! WHAT: Mara Jade arrives in Los Angeles WHEN: Monday evening (LA time) WHERE: Santa Monica RATING: TBD STATUS: In progress
Mara Jade Skywalker, former Emperor's Hand turned Jedi Master, was exhausted. It had been a long few days. Chewbacca's death was weighing heavily on all of them and everyone was on edge, knowing a war was on the way. The Vong had been defeated, for now. They all knew that more would come, in greater numbers than before. And Mara's illness was taking it's toll.
After making her polite excuses, she left Leia to her diplomatic talks, needing some time to rest. As she headed towards her rooms, she had to pause, leaning against a wall to help catch her breath, after glancing around to ensure that no one would see her moment of weakness. She closed her eyes a moment and breathed slowly, using the Force to center herself.
When she opened them she nearly lost all of her composure. Where she had been in a corridor, she was now out in the open, in a city.
"What the Kriff..." She murmured, looking around. She had to fight the brief urge to panic. This was impossible.
"Ok, focus."
Regaining her calm she reached out through the Force, seeking her husband. Or failing that, any other Jedi.
