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.]

[Tony's expression is one of startled bafflement, the console cluster behind him momentarily forgotten.]

Uh, Jane? Is there something you and Thor aren't telling the rest of the class?

[Because children, what? Also, she's apparently lost her memory, which he'd probably realize the significance of if the first part weren't so startling.]

[do what, now. Oh, this is Luke's MOTHER. No wonder why he thought she was Padme]

Okay, hi. My name is Jane Foster, and for some weird quirk of nature, we look alike or enough to be mistaken for the other. Anyways, Luke is here. He's all grown up, though.

That's because you weren't restrained, miss. Just... asleep, for a bit. We all were. You're on a Planet called Verdana and it needs our help. We were put on the ship to help them, apparently. We're just not sure how yet.

[After the disappointment with Jane several weeks ago, Luke is almost afraid to believe it really is his mother this time. Though when she mentions her children and Palpatine there's no doubt left in his mind.

It's also immediately evident that she isn't from Mayfield so he has to be careful about this.]

Padme?

I- uhh... You don't know me but I know you and I think we should talk.

[panicandfreeze]

Yeah, been there, done that, screamed at the sky for a while. Best I can tell, we've all been kidnapped by alien perverts(because I woke up naked, how bout you?) because non-kidnappers ask first.

[Bones' expression is one of suspicion and concern, the backdrop behind him one that's got the sort of medical tinge that says 'hospital' even if the exact medical technology that can be glimpsed isn't familiar.]

As the others have been explaining, you're not kidnapped unless you're going to count us all as victims. If you've just arrived from an abduction, though, it's my job to be nosy and ask if you need medical attention before you do some damned fool thing like tough it out until you fall over. The name's Doctor McCoy, and I'm down at the hospital here if you need help.

[Video] Sorry I'm late...

[Out of all of that, the only thing that really clicks for Kerra is Naboo. Inner Rim, wealthy, peaceful Republic planet. Nice place, if somewhat boring. That meant someone from home. Someone important. And given the strong ties between the Senate and the Order in her time, Kerra's definitely not ignoring it.

And then...she skims the other unfiltered replies like any good scout should. Oh...kriff...

This'll be interesting...]

Senator, forgive me if I seem curt but I'm afraid we're well outside of the Republic, or any Empire you might be familiar with. I'm Jedi Knight Kerra Holt, and as Major Janson has already explained, time can be a little strange here. A...heh...a thousand years at least kinda strange.

That said, welcome to Verdana and the settlement of Poseidon.

[And...only a Senator could really get that level of politeness out of her.]

[Video] stupidly late, I'm sorry :(

[loveshishammer]

[There's a very confused and slightly hurt looking godling on the screen, here, looking back at you Padme. It looks like he has recently been painting, as there is a smudge of maroon on his cheek.]

... when did you have children?

[No, someone didn't think to see who else has replied to this familiar-looking lady before replying, himself. That would make sense?]
