First Diplomatic Meeting [Video] Wednesday Morning | Week 42

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[The video flickers to life after a moment, and a face will appear. She seems composed, but she's dressed plainly and her hair is down, if anyone knew her, they'd be surprised...for a number of reasons. She is fingering what appears to be a wooden trinket in her hands as she sits. Still inside the ship for the moment at least.

Her voice is composed, barely and there is a hint of steel behind her words. Okay more then a hint.]

Where are my children?

Whoever is in charge of this kidnapping, you did a poor job restraining me. I am willing to talk, but only if you tell me what has happened to my children.

....Palpatine, if you are behind this. Then I remind you that I am still a Senator, and unless you have destroyed them already I still have rights. You cannot detain me like this without informing the government of Naboo. I have done nothing wrong.

Padme?

[She mentioned Palpatine. She has to actually be Padme this time.]

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

This is Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo. Who am I speaking to?

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Apparently not the same Padme he hit on. Probably for the best, even if that means recreating complicated territory]

Major Wes Janson, New Republic Starfighter Command.

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[There is a definite pause at that.]

...New Republic?

Has Palpatine grown tired of his Empire's name already?

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Okay, this is the bit where it gets complicated and you think I'm crazy.

[Because... it is]

People from the ship who came from the same place didn't necessarily come from the same time. For me, Palpatine rose to power decades ago.

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

....Decades.

But it was only recently....

[Okay give her a moment.]

You knew who I was though. Do I know you in this "future"?

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[I hit on you once in an alternate reality... yeah, not going with that one]

I know Luke and Leia.

[Probably not much better]

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

You know them?

[There are too many questions to ask.]

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Proud to say I do. Luke's going to be pretty glad to see you.

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

....He was just born when I saw him.

[What is her life. Wait that sounds....]

He's here? Is Leia also?

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Just Luke. And, uh, he's going to look a little different than you remember...

[How does he always end up having to do this?]

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

He was a newborn when I last saw him.

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

He's... quite a bit older than that here.

[Which is an interesting change of pace from him finding Luke too young]

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

How old?

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[That's a really good question with three calendars and time travel. This was apparently his life now.]

Twenty... five... ish?

[Dammit Luke why aren't you here to field this one?]

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

....I see.

[Just give her a moment because....]

That is ...quite older.

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Yeah, the timelines are all kriffed up.

[Talking to a Senator. LUke's mom. Darth Vader's wife.]

Excuse my Huttese.

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

It seems that way...

[Okay another moment because ...yup shock.]

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

It's a lot to take in.

[It was a lot for him and he doesn't have surprise offspring involved]

Video

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

Thank you for telling me.

Have you been on this world very long?

Re: Video

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[He has to stop and think about it a moment. It's hard to keep track.]

A few months. The calendars are different, it gets confusing.
