So is the Corinth really as bad as I keep hearing? Any first hand experience?

[Filter: Gavroche]

So, you said you were willing to offer services. What sort of services?

[Filter: Jaina & Jacen]

~~I miss Tahiri~~ All right.

I feel like we have about three different issues here:

1) Family, timeline, confusion stuff (also possibly dark side is he our brother? ~~Does he have to be our brother?~~ How does that work?)
2) These students, and revolution and stuff. I'm going to try to befriend Gavroche, cause I figure a kid frequently sees stuff adults don't. He might have some ideas as to everything that'd be useful.
3) We need to be doing something. Like, actually something. This feels like we're all standing still.

And apparently I really just like listing at you guys? But seriously. There is stuff.

~~I want my lightsaber and something to actually do~~

	Kyp isn't using the Dark side right now. Unless you're talking about when he was, and I still say misguided was an understatement even if he did get pulled back. We make choices, to practice light or dark. I thought you hated Kyp anyway. So... we need to try to figure out a way to help them balance it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Point is he came back from it. It's possible. Because there is no such thing, not really. Kyp realised he'd gone too far is all. Oh I do. But it doesn't make it less true. Exactly, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So you're saying we need to try to make him see he's misguided? Have fun with that. I haven't even seen him outside of that first night.

Wait, there's no such thing what?

I know this is going to sound crazy, and not like me, ~~but I realize a lightsaber doesn't solve every problem~~ but it feels like maybe, if some of this is a balance thing, the students here - they obviously seem to be aware there's a problem, but people in charge don't seem to be aware of that. Maybe we should try talking to them? Like, I don't know, not me, maybe, but you, or like the other Mom?

I think it couldn't hurt to do that?

It's just something I learned. Dark and light, they're not definable like that. Not so trapped in dogma. It's not so easy to say that you use something, like lightning, and you're dark side. It's not that simple.

Talking is less likely to work since our mental powers are weakened. Or do you mean actually make reasoned argument? They might just decide to shoot us. People here, they don't speak out against the crown, but to invite trouble, like our firebrand friend. He seeks it out.

That's going to be hard to do if we don't see him. Which, it seems like he doesn't want to be seen.

Okay, I know it's not so simple as light/dark. But also, Force lightning? tell me one instance of it coming from a place of light? There are absolutes, even if there's a lot of grey in-between.

Yeah, actually. As it turns out I wasn't planning on Jedi mind-tricking someone, exactly. Just conversation. And maybe there's something that's a little more half-way than what they're proposing but that might save blood-shed in the end. Surely the authorities can't be as unreasonable as the Yuuzhan Vong.

He'll be seen. Don't worry. I'll find him.

It's not that simple. It comes from anger, maybe. If you look at it that way. But why is anger bad? Why should we push it down. I'm not going to hurl lightning at everything that annoys me, but it is a valuable tool. It's something we could use, if we knew how.

I don't understand why it's so black and white with everyone. It's not, at all.

...even they could be reasoned with in the end. What remained anyway. Maybe there's merit in speaking to them

Jacen, I just said I didn't think it was all black and white. I just said that there are things that there is absolute darkness and there is absolute light. That doesn't mean that everything is. You're over simplifying what I just said.

Anger is human, and we all feel it. It might even move us to action, and that action might not even be bad action, but if we let it control everything - then it can create problems. Same with fear. Although I think fear might even be worse than anger for a lot of people. Fear is... I don't know. It's easy to let it control you almost without realizing that you're allowing it to do so.

Yeah, well, I guess I don't really ~~live to~~ know anything about that. Did you just agree with my idea?
