The garage- Monday evening

[solo_sword]

There had been a couple talks lately that had made Jaina think that getting back into the garage was a good idea. She hadn't done much at all since she'd finished the hoverboard... nearly two years ago, which she didn't really like. It wasn't really something she'd meant to give up, especially if she couldn't work on the ships back home while she was here.

So she was in the garage, in grease-stained coveralls that were actually looser than they had been when she first got to Fandom, doing some routine maintenance on the swoop bike between calls she had to make for work. She was trying to multitask.

That would be a lot easier if she could find her hydrospanner. It was probably a good thing she hadn't seen the little blue things take off with it, lest she think they were oxygen-deprived gremlins or something.


[Can be open if anyone actually comes down here anymore!]

Ben poked his head into the doorway and smiled. "Stupid question but...you haven't seen my hydrospanner racing past? I could swear I left it under my bed this morning."

[solo_sword]

Jaina looked up, frowning. "I haven't, but it might be wherever mine got to. I know I just saw it..."

[momslilassassin]

"If they've turned sentient on us, I'm going to be really, really worried," Ben decided.

[solo_sword]

"I'm not. I take care of my tools. I don't think I have anything to worry about, personally." She might have smiled a little there, too. Yay for overconfidence! "I just want to get things done here."

[momslilassassin]

"What are you working on?" Ben asked, completely interested.

[solo_sword]

"Doing some maintenance on John's swoop bike," she explained. "Can't have it feeling all rusty."

[momslilassassin]

"Are you going to ride it, too?" Ben asked. "Swoops like to feel appreciated."

[solo_sword]

"I might. I'd feel like I should ask first, or something, though." Which was not exactly true. She'd just never been on it without John, and that might be a little weird for her.

[momslilassassin]

"I can always ride it if it'll be weird for you."

So altruistic, that Ben. Really.

Zayne wasn't really one for the garage. Mainly because he wasn't one for mechanical stuff. Those things had a habit of exploding on him. Or under him. Or all around him. You get the point.

If Zayne had to explain what he was doing here, he'd probably eventually come up with it being the will of the Force. "Hey, Jaina. How..." And then he saw the swoop. His eyes lit up with sheer glee.

[solo_sword]

Jaina gave him a lopsided grin, patting the bike. "I've been immediately forgotten, haven't I?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Not forgotten," Zayne said. "But I see you in at least one class a week. I never see a swoop bike here."

[solo_sword]

"This one lives here," Jaina told him. "My boyfriend left it here when he left for school."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Why would anyone leave a swoop like this?" Zayne asked, stunned. Thinking about it for a moment, he added, "Besides the obvious need to hide it and resist riding it all the time."

[solo_sword]

"I think that was pretty much it. You can't really ride it up there." Not that Jaina knew where it was going to end up when she graduated. "Besides, I think I'm better on the upkeep."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"That wouldn't surprise me," Zayne said. "Did you put this one together?"

[solo_sword]

"Nope. He got it from a friend of his, who got it from Coruscant somehow, I think? But not my Coruscant, one from the past... It's confusing." Clearly.

Not a good idea for Tahiri to be in the garage, really, but something had run off with her left boot. And she was passing by the garage, actually, trying to go after it.

"You know," she yelled at nothing in particular because she had no idea where the stupid tiny thief had gone off to, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might actually need that kriffing boot soon."

[solo_sword]

"I know I can't have just heard what I think I heard," Jaina said, looking up at her from her spot on the floor.

[weetuskenraider]

"Well, it's not because I want to." Tahiri made a face that was only partly due to the prospect of shoes, and stayed just outside the doorway. "It gets cold here, you know."

[solo_sword]

"I've noticed," she agreed. "And why are you missing a boot again?"

[weetuskenraider]

"No idea," Tahiri said, annoyed. "I swear, it was there one second and when I looked again it was gone."

[solo_sword]

Huh. "That seems to be a thing. I keep finding things missing. I'm afraid where they might end up, this being Fandom..."

[weetuskenraider]

"Yeah, I think I'm missing my multitool, too. Better hang onto your comlink with both hands," Tahiri advised. She wasn't all that attached to hers, but the idea of Jaina without a comlink was too weird to consider for long.

[solo_sword]

Jaina's eyes widened, and her hand immediately went to her pocket to make sure it was still there.

"That moment of panic was the saddest thing I've ever experienced," she realized.
