[video] asking the important questions

Who: Ahsoka + you
Broadcast: fleedwide video
Action: you can find her on the starstruck if you want
When: idk now?

Hey guys! I have a bit of a weird question for you today.

Did anyone by any chance stock up on apples before we left the Starlight? Or... apple puree, maybe? Or, um. Apple-anything-not-in-a-protein-cube? It's important. I promise.

I'd be willing to trade you credits or food from the Starstruck in exchange. We have a lot of dried and frozen meat. Like. A lot.

On an unrelated-but-not-really note...

Does anyone know how to make apple pie?

New broadcast, 5 minutes later: ... Apparently you need flour and butter too. Do we have any of those things?

Well, you're right about that, but I wouldn't put it past space scientists to science a solution to that.

[resnipstance]

It seems like a lot of effort just for a fruit...

Still. I'll go check it out, thank you. Apparently it belongs to Dr. Crusher...?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't think I know them but that is an incredible name.

Fenris was the one who told me about the apples, I think, if you know him.

[resnipstance]

"Fenris"...? No, I don't think we've met.

I'll keep an eye out for him, thank you.

--Oh. I'm Ahsoka, by the way.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's on my ship, the Tourist.

I'm Kara. Kara Danvers. Have you been here long?

[resnipstance]

Ahsoka Tano! I've been her six months now, by this place's calendar anyway. I've been trying to calculate how it corresponds to our calendar back home, but it's tricky. To be honest, I'm not even sure if we're ageing.

[takingkarabusiness]

How do you figure that? I mean, I guess there's no way to scientifically measure it... that's so strange to consider. Also, the differences between days by planet.

[resnipstance]

Well... don't laugh, but-- I met someone here from my future. They said when they know me, I'm about six foot. [Look at her. Even on video, does she look like she's six foot to you? No.] That's a whole extra eight inches! Which means... I have a lot of growing left to do, and not very many years left to do it in! I'm already seventeen... probably, anyway.

But I measured myself the other day. I've been here six months, and I haven't grown even a single hair taller. That's definitely weird, right?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she's not laughing ]

That is weird. And it reminds me of something... [ ok she is clearly not a human... and no one's gotten pitchforks yet ] I went through. Awhile ago.

[resnipstance]

[Well, not laughing is good.]

Wait, really? I was gonna say that too, but-- you go first!

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah it was, um. Called the Phantom Zone. I slept the whole time so I don't really remember any of it, but I was there for 12 years. I didn't change or anything. I was still 12 when I got out of it, but time everywhere else had kept going.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka does an almost-comical double take.]

What the--! That's insane!

[takingkarabusiness]

[ OH NO did she say something wrong? was it too weird, even for this obviously not human person?? did she give too much of herself away??? she looks a little taken aback at Ahsoka's reaction ]

What is?

[resnipstance]

I mean, just-- twelve years? All that time...!

[takingkarabusiness]

((omg i'm a huge loser: retcon it was 24 years. it's not my fault that canon really likes 12s and 24s))

Yeah. My baby cousin was older than me by the time I showed up.
