I'm good at shooting people, cracking wise, and pretending to know how to fight.

After the morning's pizza misadventure, Atton had ran for his office pretty quickly. He was mostly sure nobody had seen him. ...except maybe the squirrels. Damn it, had he checked for the squirrels?

But that didn't occupy him for long.

Honestly, he wasn't planning to stick around the office all day. He was just here to stash some technically not entirely supposed to be here hold-out weapons in case he needed them, check whether the building was defensible, and regroup.

... and maybe take a brief, 30 minute power-nap in his chair. Turned out running around for most of the night after several consecutive nights of barely sleeping wasn't actually a good idea.

[[ open. ]]

So Sparks wasn't showing up.

It'd been several hours and several text messages, and nothing. And as far as Atton had been able to tell from his own observations and from Jessica last night, the island was fine. ... Okay, maybe not fine, but not overrun by anything nasty or losing parts of itself or zapping anyone to another dimension or possessing anyone, or anything else that would set off her senses.

But, you know, okay, fine. He wasn't Sparkle's keeper. If the guy didn't want to put in the work, or show up to class, that wasn't his problem. Especially since the kid was clearly still on the island and breathing-- at least as far as the Force could tell him.

( Other Jedi release their feelings into the Force, Atton prefers playing with lightsabers. )

[[ nfi, nfb due to distance. also, star wars fans are awesome: Djem So vs. Juyo well, nominally, the dude with the green 'saber seems to be more Ataru than Djem So and oh god i've been looking at lightsaber videos too much ]]
