Video. alt title: those two star wars babes effed me up

Who: Koala (ft.ing Sleeping Solo)
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Huntress
When: April 5th

[When Han falls into his coma on the first (April Fools! too bad she's unaware of the holiday), Koala starts out panicked the first hour, and then plotting the next. It's terrifying, of course. Of course it is. How can it not be scary, to have your friend collapse and not wake up when shaken? But now that he's laid down to sleep — some strange, unnatural slumber, nothing at all like someone simply asleep — she paces and bites her nails and tries to think of the best thing to do.
 
She pinches his arm. She yells loudly in his ear and slams two cans together. She splashes water on his face. She looks for magical potions or medicines or anything of the sort on the moon that would make him rise. Someone gives her something to run under his nose; they said it wakes people from fainting. Nothing. She runs in and hollers that his precious Millennium Falcon's arrived, and that they're going to smash it up if he doesn't come get it.
Nothing works at all, and eventually she sinks into the chair near his bunk, puts her face in her hands, and sits distraught for a moment with a wide, unnatural smile on her face — one anyone would recognize as all nerves.]
 
I-it's okay, Mr. Solo. We'll figure something out! There must be something I missed.
 
[Guilt wrecks her in ways she doesn't understand entirely.
 
She thinks of lecturing Han about wedding rings. And Leia being gone, just suddenly gone.]

[The feed opens to a smile, strained, incredibly strained. But unlike her usual facade, she's abandoned the mask of a pleasant, friendly worker; here, it's simply the impulse of a child who is absolutely terrified to cry on a fleet-wide entry.]
 
I-I've tried everything I can to wake up Mr. Solo, but still nothing... He just sleeps! Even telling him the ship was on fire didn't work; I'd hoped he'd hear and I could just apologize many times for causing a scene, but he just... keeps sleeping... Is this — is it because he's depressed? Because his — his friend and... and the person he loves were gone, and maybe he just wore himself out, because he was so upset! That's how it works, right? Sometimes people lose the will to keep walking; I've seen it before!

[She seems to be partly talking to herself, as if explaining inwardly. Trying to make sense of such a random event.]
 
I don't know what to do... I must've, must've have made this worse for him...! After all, I-I was talking about wedding rings! His wedding ring to the princess he cared about. I was talking about such a wonderful thing, but I never even considered how easily people can come and go. I've made it so much worse, to remind him of that right before she'd left, and he's gone and fallen into a deep, terrible sleep! I... I opened my big mouth and jinxed it! Maybe if I hadn't, it would have been easier...
 
[Sniffling loudly, tears brimming her eyes,she turns away slightly to scrub at them with the rag she's been wringing all the while.]
 
Oh, no — no, I'm not allowed, I shouldn't... It only makes things worse. But I miss Miss Leia and her lessons, and I don't... know what to do for Mr. Solo... Being able to make your own choices is so difficult; not knowing what your choices even are is so difficult! How does anyone handle it?

He's going to wake up, right?
 
[Surely he must. It won't be like her father. Mr. Solo isn't hurt! Just — a little stuck, is all.
Until then, she's going to just... go clean up. Maybe she should find more work to do.
Money is very important, after all. She bows her head, voice lower as she trails off.]
 
If only Miss Leia were here... If a prince can wake up the person they love, then maybe a princess could, too... Couldn't they?

[Go figure, the Organa-Solo's run rampant in her entries.]

[Oh God she seems so sad and she's asking him the most difficult question. He has to be very careful to navigate his answer in a way that doesn't make her feel hopeless or to blame for what happened to Han Solo and Leia. Which is a tall order when you're dealing with a crazy entity like Atroma]

[Come no Allen don't screw this up...!]
