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.

Most of the things here seem that way.

It is nice to meet you as well and I apologize for the confusion at the start of this. It is only that I have seen many people try to pin blame on aliens simply because of their non human appearance and it is something I work against as a senator.

[panicandfreeze]

Yeah, I don't really care what you look like, as long as you don't try and kill me. Most people trying to kill me are demons and...they usually have a human form.

Now, you're a senator?

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

Yes, I represent the planet of Naboo in the Galactic Senate.

[Still refusing to call it by its new name.]

I've been in politics since I was a child. It's all I know you could say. After serving as Queen for two terms I couldn't turn down the offer to represent my people in the Senate.

[panicandfreeze]

Queen? Now that's something you don't hear everyday. And how can you serve as Queen for two terms? Isn't it kind of a permanent position?

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

[That gets a smile. Talking politics is at least something she's good at.]

It is on many worlds.

On Naboo however we elect our leaders. The length of time was limited to two, four year terms after we had an unpopular King for many years.

[panicandfreeze]

Uh huh. [was that Piper's eyes glazing over?]

"Well I hate to break it to you but I'm not sure anyone here is looking for a senator or a queen. But, I've only been here a little while. I could be wrong."

[didnotlosethewilltolive]

If they were looking for one, I'm sure there would be an easier solution then kidnapping an existing one.

How long have you been here?
