So, hey, mun? We should probably have a little chat. Look, the Star Wars movies were cool and all, but I don't really want to live in 'em. Plus, don't you already have two people from my world there? You'd have to drop one of them, and even if I can't think of any reason you'd rather have Anya than me, it's still not nice.

...be kinda cool to use the Force, though.

That's definitely good, cause there may be more of it coming. But it's the Force! That's just so cool. I wonder how much like magic it is.

[soloing]

I imagine what you call magic involves tapping into the power of the universe, doesn't it?

[mywillbedone]

Yeah! That's exactly what it is. It's all about balance and the elements... magic elements, not scientific ones, no one's balancing sulphur and plutonium or anything like that, and... yeah, I guess it's kinda like the force. But with more spells and potions. And I've never done the whole... lightning hand trick thing. [Though she thinks she might be able to, if she came up with the right spell. That could be useful in a fight.]

That's actually a malicious use of the Force that's generally... frowned upon.

[mywillbedone]

Right! I'm opposed to being malicious. I'm kind of curious about the how, but I'd never actually use it.

[soloing]

As with most malicious uses of the Force, the how tends to come from channeling one's darker emotions.

[mywillbedone]

So like, rage, hatred, general meanness? As opposed to love and friendship and all things happy and fluffy that you use for the good Force stuff?

[soloing]

That's the general idea, yes.

[mywillbedone]

Okay, cool. Magic's kinda similar, sometimes. Like, you can use whatever emotions you've got, but if you're over-emotional, things can go screwy and wham, suddenly your best friend's marrying the creepy vampire tied up in the bathtub.

[soloing]

Well, that's... certainly an example.

[mywillbedone]

I'm opposed to vagueness.
