01 ★ video & action
Who: Padme Amidala
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: The Marsiva
When: Jan 19th, evening
[ It's cold.
That's the first thing Padmé thinks in her half-awake state. It's cold like metal, like space. Whatever she's laying on is lumpy and uneven. Some part of her mind thinks wake up, you're in danger!.
Her eyes snap open and she sits up quickly. Her body is tense, like she's ready to run or fight at a moment's notice. Her elegant headdress and long robes might make it a bit more difficult, but Padmé is used to them. She scans the room for threats, and her eyes settle on a device not too far away. It's unfamiliar, but she knows it's a recording device transmitting to nearby ships. It unsettles her that she knows that but not how she got here.
She could turn off the feed if she chose but she might as well try to communicate. Whoever is watching already know she's here. Padmé sits up straight, trying her best to look confident and approachable. As she speaks, it's clear she's choosing her words carefully. ]
Hello, everyone. [ She realizes that she has no idea who she's addressing, only that she's speaking to someone. Or many someones. ] My name is Padmé. [ She carefully uses her first name, rather than Senator Amidala. On the off-chance these people don't know that she's a Senator, she doesn't want to tip them off. ] I would greatly appreciate any information about my current situation. I'm afraid my memory is rather vague.
If the people in charge are receiving this, I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you.
[ She doubts she'll get a reply, but she says it anyway. Although it irritates her to no end, she's careful to avoid inflammatory words like 'kidnapping' or 'hostage.' She's decidedly Not Happy about any of this, but her political poker face is strong enough to hide it from people. Most people. ]
Thank you.
[ She shuts off the feed and her expression shifts from careful calm to determination. Kidnapping Padmé Amidala? Never ends well. ]

It's a holodrama. And you're in the cast.
[A long worldweary sigh from this side of space.]
Really, that basically covers the high points.

[Which makes them... well, slightly better than the Empire.]

What does this "entertainment" entail?
no subject
[But then, he is new. Who the hell knows what sweeps week looks like.]
no subject
[ She's not buying it. It's a lot of effort to kidnap so many people just to observe them. There's a catch. Likely a deadly one. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't get your name.
no subject
[He'd heard her state it before - but it never hurts to exercise a name to memory.]
no subject
It's nice to meet you, despite the circumstances. Do you have any suggestions for the new person? [ She can't help a bit of joking. ] Perhaps the most scintillating way to brush my teeth?
no subject
Whatever worked for you before should do just fine here. Just don't get it mixed up with the food paste we're given to eat.
no subject
[ At least her captors have provided food, though food paste barely qualifies. ]
I don't suppose you know anything about this audience that is so fascinated by watching me eat food paste.
