[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.

That's... useful, at least. It's unfortunate that the town locks people who actually have these skills out the way it does.

[ooeeooahah]

My skillset is half-and-half. The stuff I did as a hobby to relax is what I'm nearly required to do, but my work skills only get used when my patients find me.

[ Ilsa washes up, checking under the sink to make sure the seals are tight. ]

We all make do with what we have, until we can get out.

I'm a senator... it doesn't tend to come up. I cook, as a hobby. The drones are equally appalled.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa chuckles. ] I trained for two years as a chef before I heard the call to be a psychiatrist. I'd like to trade recipes sometime, to see if any translate.

I'm still familiarizing myself with the spices here, but that sounds like an enjoyable prospect.

[ooeeooahah]

You haven't had a bad reaction to anything, have you? I'm pretty sure that unless someone gets a non-human body as a regain, most of the food here won't cause problems but you never know.

[bailedontheempire]

Not as of yet. The stores here are very human centric.

[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. ]

[bailedontheempire]

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

[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.
