The Force Awakens || Earl Grey
Jane had a lightsaber in her purse (which for the record, was more of a messenger-bag satchel thing than a proper purse, since Jane Porter was not one to carry fancy purses around. Her bags functioned more for utility than style). The bag was slung ‘cross her chest, and in it was the plastic lightsaber Tom had given her on her 19th birthday. It was purple, which—and this was according to Tom, mind you, Jane liked Star Wars but Tom loved Star Wars—indicated moral ambiguity and while they typically favored the light-side, they did not limit themselves by a strict code of conduct (which made sense for Jane, really).
Also, apparently, the purple ones were hard to find online.
Jane had kept it in a box under her bed and it had not seen the light of day in some time.
“One last shot,” she said now, leaning over the bar, one finger in the air. She’d already had a few, enough to quench the nagging thought in the back of her mind that she shouldn’t be getting into a drunk lightsaber fight with Paul. The voice was still there, yeah, but a louder one was telling it “oh shut it, you haven’t done anything with friends in so long.”
She grabbed the shot glass from the counter.
“We can do this one together, yeah? ‘snot fair if you’re less drunk than I.”
Jane sat up a little straighter, taking the glass between fingers, lifting it up, staring Paul straight in the eye.
“To the Rebellion,” she said, her voice as steady and serious as someone who already had four shots of rum could muster.
