For Days of Auld Lang Syne (Sasha Santhe)

Velok mulled over her figure of speech for what seemed like a month. "Ah. A sports metaphor. I think I understand. But yes: let's find a way to distract them. I've played my father before, in various contexts. Not a difficult man imitate. If you have any kind of Force-resonant artifact or location handy, it might increase my presence and obscure my current lack of power."

He bared a tusk in frustration. The memories and strength his father had stolen from him might never fully return: that was the fear. Then again, Sasha was a capable teacher, and his strength had swelled in their weeks together.

Still too skinny and hairless and tuskless to be attractive, of course.

"I dated a player once," she didn't specify what sport. Truth was she had dated multiple players from multiple sports at various times. Such things were expected when you were wealthy and pretty. None of them really stuck of course, most were idiots, but a few were clever enough to prove threatening in any long term relationship. Instead they had met with accidents, or gone on to suffer from crippling depression after she left them. Heart breaker.

"I'm not a collector of artifacts. I prefer machines to the arcane, but I believe I can use the same trick we have used to create a false lightside aura to amplify your own darkside aura. I can mirror my own power and reflect it onto you. Your father was never the most powerful sith, it was his knowledge that made him feared. This little trick, it should be enough I think to sell our little illusion."

Sasha had never done anything like this, indeed she'd never heard of anything like this even being attempted. In principal however it would work. Why not? To create a false lightside aura you already had to manipulate perception of the force itself, so who was to say you couldn't amplify the darkness. "You will be like a black hole, and they will be unable to avert their gaze." Uhg, Sasha hated being poetic.
