Who: Leia Organa & you (yes, you)
Action: The Marsiva. Up, down, and all around.
When: December 28th
[To suggest Leia is annoyed with her presence on the Marsiva is to commit gross understatement. After years of struggle, the Rebel Alliance has fatally crippled the Empire, and the Republic of old is within their grasp--and here she is, trapped in an enormous holo-serial untold light years away.
She could scream. She really could.
Her first thought, once she's aware of the communications network, is to seek information that way. Without more knowledge of this place and the 'Atroma' keeping them captive, however, it seems unwise to call quite that much attention to her initial inquiries if she can help it. Atroma (the Atroma?) is supposedly recording their every move, but she's not about to make it any easier for it (them?) to sort through hours of footage to find the interesting bits. Irritation is no excuse for carelessness.
So she swallows back her frustration for the moment and talks to the people she meets on deck. Smalltalk--how are you, have you been here long, so on and so forth. And sprinkled in occasionally, the big question:]
What do you think of the Fleet?

Welllll I did always wanna go on a space vacation, but I wish they'd let us pick who could come from us and when we go on it.
no subject
That would be a marked improvement. Are you here alone?
no subject
It would, wouldn't it? But don't worry, I'm never alone! Pearl's here to keep an eye on me, and I'm made plenty of other neat friends too, like the people on my ship! We can be friends too if you want!
no subject
I...guess we can. [How do you talk to children again? Leia hasn't spent any meaningful time around boys this age since she was that age.] I'm Leia. What's your name?
no subject
['Leia'. She is starting to seem more and more like someone from a movie... but Steven knows it would be rude to say that, so he'll just contain his excitement.]
Nice to meet you, Leia! My name's Steve Universe. I come in peace!
no subject
So do I. [If "I come in peace" has cultural meaning beyond the literal words, she's not aware!] How long have you been here, Steven?
no subject
Um... It's been a few months for me!
no subject
That's quite a while. [Longer than she'd like to stay by...well, several months.] You must be pretty familiar with how things work. Do you think there's anything I should know about the Fleet?
no subject
[He chuckles, trying to hide his sadness at all the people he misses.]
It's definitely longer than most vacations! Hmmm... things you should know! Well, they say we're on tv? But we never get to watch anything. And sometimes, it gets really cramped just being in a ship all the time. But there's plenty of way stations and planets we visit so that's not too bad!
no subject
[Sorry, Steven, she assumed the Crystal Gems was a metaphorical name.
Most of it is information she's already learned, but the mention of way stations and planets is new and different.]
That must be a nice change of pace. What have the planets been like?
no subject
[He chuckles nervously.]
Um... Well the planets have been really super cool! There was a cowboy one, and now there's that one with the whole snowy deal going on! It's pretty cool if I do say so myself.
