beccaelizabethToday I dreamt I was working with Phil Coulson to protect the world when he got an assignment to secure a living area for VIPs. So we go up a tower through all sorts of fancy hidden security arrangements, and we check the rooms, and then the visiting team arrives to do their security sweep. And it's the Empire. We could protect our world, but interstellar politics came calling. They were taking over now. And someone ordered, quite casually, that Phil be killed.
Cause I guess they know where he draws the line.
But I stepped forwards, and swept my coat tails back, and there I had two blasters and a lightsaber. And I just put my hands on my guns and waited til everyone could see me. Told them, yeah, we could go. And I'd kill them all. All twenty. ... and they chuckled, of course, because I am tiny and also me. So I said, don't believe me? I'll start with him. And I pointed at Darth Maul.
And a room full of techs and guards with a Sith in charge might think I'm overambitious, but that same room when they know I actively want to pick that particular fight? Notice I'm not just carrying guns.
So they pull back and I have a lightsaber duel with Darth Maul.
So that was kind of awesome. Though I need to do more studying to have more convincing duel dreams. I just kind of waved it around a bit.
But just as I knocked Maul's weapon out his hands and was about to slice him into even more pieces, Darth Vader turned up, and my lightsaber went out. Boo. Vader demonstrated that Maul's weapon had no safety cutout, so once dropped it would have kept going through the whole building, which as I told him had honestly not occured to me. I mean wtf dude, who even? So Vader demanded to inspect my weapon, and I sort of pulled out a line on the side and the insides unwrapped like a scroll but to show a circuit board? And I could point out where my weapon would clearly never do that. And then we had a friendly little chat, and I said I'd bought it on Tattooine, which he'd probably never heard of, but I was really into artefacts from tiny little planets with a lot of history. Even had some pieces from our planet of origin! Well, one of the likely ones.
And awake me is sitting here like, what are you even trying to do? Aim Vader at Earth? Or Tatooine at a really disastrous early point?
But I was just chatting happily with the Empire, because they'd stopped trying to kill us right then, so why not?
And, also, neither Sith would have bothered travelling in the style we were instructed to build up. So someone else was coming. Which could get interesting.
And why wasn't Vader killing me? Well I wasn't a Jedi, which meant I was more of a recruitment opportunity. Except I'd laugh at the Sith. I just don't get the point of the dark side. Give up your free will and be actively miserable? On purpose? For what? Sheesh, big nope.
Team free will for a brighter future.
So that was fun. Didn't have much of a plot, as dreams don't lately, but that was a fun me to be. Just that confident, and justifiably so.
