Bob blinked, and thought to himself a bit...I'm alive! ....she looks a little confused about the noogie though....I should probably explain it.
"haven't you even gotten a noogie? its a display of farmiliarity and comradery, as well as friendship...anywho...which crystal do you want to work with?" As he said this, Bob held up both crystals, which looked identical to the naked eye, but when held and felt through the force, small dissimilarities could be felt between them.

Natalia sighed and shook her head but did bother explaining her almost complete lack acquaintances let alone friends. Instead she turned her attention to the crystals. Being right handed Natalia automatically reached for the one on the right but paused and instead pointed at the left one.
"That one I guess...is there a difference?" She got the feeling there was but had nothing to base it on.

Bob smiles and shakes his head, " only a little, and not enough for me to know what those differences do exactly....now then...let's get to meditating shall we? I figure that if we focus on the crystals, then use our link, it might harmonize the crystals the right way..."
Sitting in a relaxed position, Bob holds the crystal up to his face, staring into it's depths and clearing his mind. He focuses his mental effort, tapping gently into the force, and just as gently, he tries to tap into the link that Natalia and he share...

Looking ruefully at her crystal Natalia closed her eyes and settled down to give the task her best effort. It didn't take very long for her to realize that concentrating was a bad idea for her. The more she thought about what she was doing the more impossible achieving any harmony became. She shifted her position once and then tried something a little different. Instead of thinking about what she was doing she let her mind drift and explore the subjects of crystals themselves and everything she knew about them.
It wasn't long before she had a very detailed image of one in her mind, complete with minute flaws and slight discolorations. Soon her mind was seemingly intertwined with the image, which was when she felt something like a mental caress at the edge of her thoughts. It was easy for her to accept it and the connection it brought.

((sorry for the long delay...was figuring stuff out OOC sweatdrop ))
well...as far as I can tell the crystal was changed through manipulation of the flowing life force....so perhaps a bit of mental effort is all that is required? if not....well, we'll just have to bother one of those 'jedi'
As thier mind touched, Bob smiled and spoke. Not with his mouth, but through the link were these words 'heard', now.....let us try focusing this link through the crystals...don't force it...let the link flow into the crystal. think of the link as a whispy tendril linking our minds... let the link become focused by going through the crystal...let the crystal strengthen the link, and in turn become strengthened by the link.... While he transmitted these words, Bob did his best to keep concentrating on the task at hand, his brow beggining to sweat as he tries to flag down the link, and bring in through the crystal....after a few moments of unsuccessful tries, Bob tries something new....he imagines the link as a speeder, and his own efforts as a traffic detour, directing the traffic of the link with blinkers and flags. Through the crystal he directs the traffic so, before allowing it to continue on it's way.

Natalia tried to do as Bob asked but the image he suggested reminded her of cobwebs and just didn't work. In her mind that was something to be cleaned away. Instead she tried something different and hoped it wouldn't have an adverse affect. She imagined the link as energy and created a conduit for it in her mind. Energy always fallowed the path of least resistance so the link just seem to flow into her mental construct on its own with no need for direction from her at all.

As the link flowed through the crystals, focusing and amplifying the mental images they had constucted collided, and a world seemed to open up before them...
As Bob looked around in wonderment, he found this world to be a cityscape infused with circutry, walkways, walls, even windows had paths of metal fused into thier otherwise normal nature. however, when he looked to his hand, and himself, he saw a halo of green energies enveloping him, and it was then that he realized, " well crap....looks like we did it again instead of focusing the crystals...."
After realizing this, Bob called out (within the mental realm) for Natalia, " HEY! NATALIA! WHERE ARE YA!"

"Huh, what happened?" Natalia stopped looking at the world around her and turned to find Bob at the end of the street she was on.
"Why do you look like a glow stick?" She asked flatly as she looked at Bobs green aura, unaware of her own dark blue aura.

Bob scratched his head and chuckled embarassedly, " looks like instead of focusing the crystals, we made the link stronger....as for glowing....I dunno...but your shiny too....well....sorta shiny..." after saying this, Bob reached out to poke at Natalia's forehead, exclaiming, " bluuuuuuuueeeee"

((let me know if you had something else in mind))
Natalia felt something like a vibration the moment Bob touched her and jerked away from his touch. After a moment her look of confusion changed into one of comprehension.
"Maybe...Bob, I think weve harmonized with the crystals." She said then frowned slightly. She could be right, which meant the feeling had been resonance. If that was true they still might be able to link the crystal, she just wasn't sure how.

Bob blinked and scratched his chin, saying, " well.....monkies, I dunno what to do...." unfortunately since this was more or less a dream realm, a band of monkies appeared at bob's exclamation of dismay....and began to dance around doing....monkey things. Upon noticing this, Bob simply burst out laughing.
((what? don't look at me like that! it's funny!))

Natalia frowned at the monkeys who promptly sprouted wings and roller skates. She blushed slightly, that had been the doing of her own subconscious and she knew it. In the back of her mind was a vault of ideas and images that she locked away long ago. This sort of thing had been the first one in. Flights of fancy had no place in her life, she didn't allow them one.
"Do you have any ideas or are we going to stand here playing games?" She asked, annoyance leaking into her normally cold voice. For a moment she felt the link waver as her inner defenses tried to cut it off.

Bob thought this over for a few moments, " well....playing games would be quite enjoyable....and it would be nice to see just how much we can change this mindscape....and....did you make the monkies gain wings and strange wheel shoes? it's quite amusing indeed....but I wonder how they would fare against my aunt maud....she could tear a night stalker a new one on a good day, but when she was pissed, even rancors would fear her...." as he spoke, a female wookie with a spear and a deactivated vibro axe took form, and began chasing the monkies, who flew and skated away, both monkies and wookie soon dissapearing from sight. During this, Bob chuckled in an amused manner, then seemed to finnaly noticed the serious face of natalia, " oh....right, focus....um....maybe we should look over what we know of sabers and try to figure out exactly what the crystals do and how they do it? perhaps we should start with an overview of the saber itself...."
Focusing on the task at hand, Bob called up a floating, partially deconstructed lightsaber, tweaking his hands around to move it this way and that, " should we perhaps go from here?"

"We may as well, I don't have any other ideas just yet." She said and began looking the projection over. She had her own mental image of it but looking at something had advantages over simply remembering it.

After staring at the mental construct for a while, Bob speaks up once more, " I think that we may have used the crystals the wrong way....perhaps channeling our link through them has made them unfit for a lightsaber....not sure why....but I get the feeling that we may have just made a force powered comlink instead of a focusing crystal...."
