	green_eyes: Well, I might just forgive you for the last evil post. That's a big might, but with this post there seems to be room for redemption on your part. Stick with me guys . . . Where did Jaina get the misguided idea that breaking up with Jag was the only way for him to have a happy life. How do you get that out of the vision you had deary? She thought the disappearing holos represented his family. She thought Jag asking her for help meant that she could do something to keep him from losing them. Since she's been so afraid to totally commit to Jag (which is why she had been avoiding him of late, although she couldn't admit that to herself) it didn't even occur to her that the woman in the wedding dress could be her. Oh, I can't wait to see how you work out this big misunderstanding. But I have a feeling Jag is going to make it worse before it gets better. It's definitely going to get worse before it gets better . . . You are still evil, but there is a new hope. TMcE: Yes. But it might not make you feel so good, so don't worry about it! As much as I joke about it, it really doesn't bother me, so I'm glad that I could help! What can I say? Um... "Gry Falconer!"? Hmm... now, what can I do with this mind-tricked authoress? "You will write a Jaya/Lowie rebound relationship..." I will write a Jaya/Lowie . . . oh, I can't even finish the joke! Hmm... so he can see it now, hmm... I like the emotional and psychological trickiness of this 'fic, you know - I like it a lot! You see, Scoundrel - you're good at this! Well, apparently my subconscious is, anyway. Hey! You said it first! Old age, remember? Well, just sit there, say nothing, and let me get the last of these knots out... Obviously, an Ewok standing on a stepladder isn't quite Jag Fel, but I'm doing what I can... ** sits quietly while Thrawn works out the last of the knots Sometimes, Scoundrel, you worry me... But that, in itself, speaks volumes... True. "Yikes!", if you need a translation... Ah. Thanks! No - I liked it a lot! Flawless! Thanks! Okay, I'm going to try and avoid quoting the entire 'fic here... random comments that could have gone in in various places included "Good use of semicolons!", "What, a night of rampant sex?! ", and "Mwahahahahaha!"... If I had the time, it would be fun to try to guess which bits of 'fic go with those comments. Oh, the irony that he was wearing 'em for Dej! Good point. Hmm... I wondered about that... So, if Jacen can still use Force Lightning, Jaya is allowed to use a little, too, hmm... Well, this particular lightning only works when Jag and Jaya get together. Aww! More mush, seen from the other participant... Which leads me sideways to the thought that if Jaina and Dej ever meet... Not sure how that got you from point a to point b . . . and I'm not going add anything further, either. I knew it! Another "I didn't think of a cute name for a prize" prize for you! She bottled it in that moment, didn't she? She'd have told him the truth... Yeah, she lost it there. Too bad Jag did, too, and stopped her. (Really, that's not true. In another one of those "I didn't consciously think about it moments, believe it or not, it's fortunate that this whole ugly scene happened the way that it did. And that's all I'm saying.) Aww! Poor Jaya - trying to be strong, but I suppose it says something that she's not throwing Force Lightning around now... and as usual, it's all superbly written! Thanks! With regard to Jaina's apparent mistake (doesn't say it wasn't Dej he was married to, does it? ) No, it doesn't. That was one of the possibilities that you were supposed to suspect. I just have a hard time keeping my big mouth shut. perhaps you should mention it more explicitly in that post... you don't have to (especially if you have deviousness planned ), and if you want to muddy it further, Jaya doesn't even have to be sure about the meaning of what she saw - she just doesn't want to put Jag Fel in danger... I knew this would be the part of the 'fic I'd have a hard time getting across right - that's why Jaina's vision and the last couple of scenes were the last ones that I wrote. Eagerly awaiting, btw! It'll be up tomorrow morning (well, tomorrow afternoon, to you.)

	Just finished the 'fic-to-date, Scoundrel, and I'm quite impressed with your abilities as a writer. I loved the opening scene when you posted it as a standalone, and I think it still works brilliantly. I'm most interested to see what Dif Scauer is up to/has been up to for the past few years... On a related note, just how long after the Great Galactic Invasion (my terminology for the Yuuzhan Vong War) is this story supposed to be set? If you've already said as much, I must've not seen it--I skipped the vast majority of the responses and cut to the chase, as it were. -----signature----- Fleet Junkie.

	Good Morning! Brett: Just finished the 'fic-to-date, Scoundrel, and I'm quite impressed with your abilities as a writer. I loved the opening scene when you posted it as a standalone, and I think it still works brilliantly. Why, thank you! It’s great to see you here! I'm most interested to see what Dif Scauer is up to/has been up to for the past few years... That’s one of the many things I’m more than a bit nervous about. Hope it doesn’t disappoint! On a related note, just how long after the Great Galactic Invasion (my terminology for the Yuuzhan Vong War) is this story supposed to be set? If you've already said as much, I must've not seen it--I skipped the vast majority of the responses and cut to the chase, as it were. A few years. I haven’t pinned it down any more closely than that. And here we go . . . * * * * * * * * Dejhira frowned as the stale stench of smoke and alcohol assaulted her senses as she stepped into the tapcaf. Did she really think she would find Jag here? He probably just went for a walk to get a breath of fresh air, she thought. For some inexplicable reason, however, she felt drawn to look for him here. She scanned the length of the bar then gasped in shock. At the far end sat Jag, looking more disheveled than she had ever seen him. His normally immaculate hair was mussed and the black muscle shirt that he wore was rumpled and untucked from the waistband of his . . . sleep pants? She quickly crossed the room to stand beside him. Her eyes widened as she noticed an alarming number of empty glasses on the bar in front of him. “Jag?” He glanced up at her briefly, icy green eyes regarding her with indifference. “Not now, Dejhira,” he said flatly, then slammed down another drink. Her alarm increased tenfold. Had he downed the others so quickly? “How long have you been here?” “I didn’t notice,” he answered dismissively. Great. If he had been here for hours, he was just going to have a nasty hangover in the morning. But if he had only been here long enough to drink that much one right after the other . . . he won’t see the next morning, she thought, shuddering involuntarily. She frowned as he continued to stare blankly into the bottom of the empty glass. What could have possibly happened to send him here in this kind of state? Although she knew that she didn’t really know Jag all that well, he certainly hadn’t given her the impression that he was capable of doing anything this irrational. “Don’t you think you’ve had enough for one night?” she asked quietly. Instead of answering her, Jag signaled the bartender and slid him a few more credits as he set down another full glass. Her mind whirled. She had to think of something to get through to him. Fast. “We have a mission to complete -” she began, hoping to appeal to his sense of duty. “You mean I have a mission to complete,” he cut in frostily. The implications of that remark stung. Right now, she chalked it up to the alcohol and whatever had brought him here in the first place, but she made a mental note to clarify that when he was more coherent. She pressed on, sensing that she was on the right track. “That’s right, you have a mission to complete. You can’t do that if you’re dead . . . and that’s exactly what you’ll be if you keep slamming down that whiskey at the rate you’re going.” He said nothing, pale green eyes still staring defiantly at her, but Dejhira could tell her words were finally getting through. “Come on, Jag,” she said softly. “Let’s go.” He nodded towards the full glass on the bar. “I’ve already paid for that one.” Her concern quickly morphed into irritation. Impulsively, she reached for the glass, threw her head back and downed the contents in one gulp. Slamming the glass back down on the bar, she glared back at him. “Thanks for the drink. Let’s go,” she finished forcefully. Jag just sat there, gaping, staring up at her with a wide-eyed astonished look. In spite of the seriousness of the situation, Dejhira found herself stifling a grin. “Do I need to repeat myself?” she asked, hoping she sounded stern. “No.” As he moved to stand, Dejhira wondered when the full effects of the alcohol he had consumed would start to take effect. The thought had just entered her mind when he wobbled unsteadily on his feet. Right about now, she thought as she reached out to steady him. She sighed as she slipped an arm around his waist and guided him toward the door. This is going to be a long night. * * * * * * * *

	Good man for drinking whiskey. The cause of--and solution to--all of life's problems. Although in this particular case the cause seems to be a certain Jedi-cum-colonel in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force who shall remain nameless. But her initials are Jaina Solo.

	As much as I joke about it, it really doesn't bother me, so I'm glad that I could help! Thanks. So it gets easier as you get older - is this something to do with the memory-loss? I will write a Jaya/Lowie . . . oh, I can't even finish the joke! [angry Wookie growl from somewhere off-screen] Well, apparently my subconscious is, anyway. Hey! That's my excuse! Old age, remember? Somehow, in this context, I don't think that's a valid excuse... ** sits quietly while Thrawn works out the last of the knots Better now? True. Hmm... what are you doing here, Scoundrel...?! Ah. Thanks! Aye! Thanks! Well, it is! If I had the time, it would be fun to try to guess which bits of 'fic go with those comments. Good point. Hmm... Well, this particular lightning only works when Jag and Jaya get together. Aye, I'd noticed that. Just wondeirng if the imagery was consciously intended... Not sure how that got you from point a to point b . . . and I'm not going add anything further, either. Something to do with certain, um, parallels between them? That, and Force Lightning, I think... sparks flying, that sort of thing... Another "I didn't think of a cute name for a prize" prize for you! Aww! Cute! [hugs prize] Thanks! No, it doesn't. That was one of the possibilities that you were supposed to suspect. I just have a hard time keeping my big mouth shut. Heh. I knew this would be the part of the 'fic I'd have a hard time getting across right - that's why Jaina's vision and the last couple of scenes were the last ones that I wrote. Well, IMHO it's fine 'as is' - it's obvious Jaina is making a huge mistake. If you want some advice on extra misdirection, though - you need only ask... It'll be up tomorrow morning (well, tomorrow afternoon, to you.) Lunchtime! For some inexplicable reason, however, she felt drawn to look for him here. Uh-oh. Either she's (a.) Force sensitive, or (b.) in love... Or (c.) both! She scanned the length of the bar then gasped in shock. At the far end sat Jag, looking more disheveled than she had ever seen him. His normally immaculate hair was mussed and the black muscle shirt that he wore was rumpled and untucked from the waistband of his . . . sleep pants? Good grief! The man's a mess! “Not now, Dejhira,” he said flatly, then slammed down another drink. “How long have you been here?” “I didn’t notice,” he answered dismissively. For some reason, I just really like that dialogue Great. If he had been here for hours, he was just going to have a nasty hangover in the morning. But if he had only been here long enough to drink that much one right after the other . . . he won’t see the next morning, she thought, shuddering involuntarily. Yikes!? What's he been drinking...?! She frowned as he continued to stare blankly into the bottom of the empty glass. [face_drunk] “That’s right, you have a mission to complete. You can’t do that if you’re dead . . . and that’s exactly what you’ll be if you keep slamming down that whiskey at the rate you’re going.” Whiskey?! It should be taking at least 2/3 of a bottle before he starts to be in that sort of danger... Ah, hang on. You said whiskey, not whisky. Important difference, that... Impulsively, she reached for the glass, threw her head back and downed the contents in one gulp. Slamming the glass back down on the bar, she glared back at him. “Thanks for the drink. Let’s go,” she finished forcefully. Jag just sat there, gaping, staring up at her with a wide-eyed astonished look. In spite of the seriousness of the situation, Dejhira found herself stifling a grin. “Do I need to repeat myself?” she asked, hoping she sounded stern. “No.” They could be married already... She sighed as she slipped an arm around his waist and guided him toward the door. This is going to be a long night. Aye, I'm sure it is... But for the reasons Dej thinks?! - The Imperial Ewok -----signature----- A/T = OTP :===8[#]8===: Kyp/Jaina fans: stand up and be counted!
