[Action: Knocking on your door]

[Bail is at your door carrying a toolbox and looking at a piece of paper]

Oh, hello. I hope your sink isn't actually giving you trouble. I was sent here to repair it, but I'm afraid that's far outside my skillset.

[Action: John Doe Park]

[Alderaanian culture involves a strong appreciation for nature, so Bail finds himself wandering through the park, examining the trees and flowers and murmuring to himself.]

It's... unsettling.

Comments

[ooeeooahah]

It was all they knew for sure, in this time-frame. Alien cultures were only hypothesized in speculative fiction of the era.

[ She shrugs, smiling. ]

[of_alderaan]

Did Vader know at all?

[bailedontheempire]

As far as he knew, the child died with Padme.

[of_alderaan]

[She nods and then tries to think of a good way to ask this.]

Is....Padme, trustworthy, do you think?

[bailedontheempire]

[An... odd question. Did something happen?]

Yes. We often worked together in the Senate on dangerous matters. And he was a dear friend.

[of_alderaan]

She is married to Darth Vader though.

She seems loyal to him.

Well that was an EXCEEDINGLY wrong journal...

[bailedontheempire]

She married Anakin Skywalker. I know it seems strange now [Even after a mere three years for him], but during the Clone Wars he was quite the dashing hero. It all went wrong so quickly, it was difficult for anyone to believe.

[of_alderaan]

She seems to be ignoring it altogether here.

She says I should forgive him and wants him to be a part of my life. Even after everything he's done.

[It took all her strength to end that conversation peacefully.]

There is belief in someone you love and there is sheer ...idiotic denial.

[bailedontheempire]

She... never really got to know the Vader we did. But we all went to a great deal of trouble to ensure he would not be a part of your life.

[of_alderaan]

And I'd rather he wasn't.

He knows about Luke though. I'm not sure how.

Sorry for the mega slow tag, moving house ate me alive

[kinship]

I'm afraid America in this era wasn't the most progressive of times for women. It's hardly ideal, but many of them offer those skills off the books.

[bailedontheempire]

That is... unfortunate. Has he done anything, yet?

[bailedontheempire]

It's... quite foreign. At home humans have been travelling hyperspace for millenia.

[bailedontheempire]

In my home, sentients of all sorts coexisted for centuries.

Re: Sorry for the mega slow tag, moving house ate me alive

[bailedontheempire]

Yes, Leia's found a lot of that very frustrating.

[bailedontheempire]

Yes, and back to what we should be doing.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell nods.]

Right.

[In reality, she doesn't know what she'd be doing if she was back home. She had won her freedom and had the whole world to explore. Who knew what was out there for her.]

[ooeeooahah]

Oh, they know it's out there, but the average citizen wouldn't think about it until fairly late in the decade, and even then there's political overtones. Even by my time, there's only unmanned satellites leaving the system, even if there's just beginning to be mining and manufacturing concerns starting up.

[thug_disease]

What's that?

[kinship]

I remember meeting Miss Leia, I can imagine why she would find that frustrating, she seemed like a very capable woman.

[of_alderaan]

Not that I am aware of. So far I've been advising people to avoid him.
