When: idk today

Hey! Soooooo since we're all stuck here, and going outside on this planet kinda sucks bigtime right now, I've been making it a project of mine to try and learn as much as I can about the different cultures of the other worlds people here are from! Particularly Earth, because there's so many of you! Someone told me the collective noun is "Earthlings"? Anyway.

I've been trawling through the media library, but to be honest, I'm not very good at sitting and reading for long periods of time. So I figured, why not just ask you guys instead?

Tell me one (or more!) thing about your home world that you think is culturally significant. It can be traditional, religious, social, or pop culture is fair game too! After all, it's no fun when people are making pop culture references that fly over my head.

The only rule is that you can't say the same thing as someone else. You ready? Go!

[Ahsoka nods.] Totally different.

If they can make a door look like a wall for however long we were on the Marsiva, isn't it possible we're going through your hyperspace thing normally, but we're just having our perceptions controlled to make it look otherwise?

[Ahsoka blinks for a second.]

[resnipstance]

[Then she swears viscerally in another language that the translator doesn't deign to translate. The meaning is conveyed well enough, though.]

I didn't even think of that!

[experiencepoints]

[... it is so hard not to laugh right now. in fact, there is a little giggle escaping her.]

Well, even if it is the case, it means you're still right about the people here not being able to relocate so easily.

[resnipstance]

Well-- there's got to be some explanation, right? Even if it's not that one... people usually don't just stay in a shitty situation if there's a better option available, right?

[experiencepoints]

... It depends on if they know a better option is available.

I suppose the way to start investigating here would be with the normal people. See what they think about the situation here, and with the people in power.

[resnipstance]

... That's a good idea.

At the very least, maybe we can put our airtime to good use-- drum up some sympathy for the people living here, enough for other planets to send aid. If we actually are getting any airtime at all, anyway.

[experiencepoints]

I still don't believe that, but any chance is better than none.

I don't think I can go down to that planet again, but I can at least help with ideas. For now, the most important thing to figure out is if someone stands to gain anything from keeping everyone here.

[resnipstance]

Ugh. I thought I left politics behind with the Order.

But... you're right.

[experiencepoints]

I try to be, as often as I can.

... You don't have to do this, though, if you don't want to. It's not like this is your planet, or any of us really have any stake in this at all.

[resnipstance]

Don't worry about it. This is what I was born to do!

[experiencepoints]

What, politics?

[resnipstance]

Nope! Fighting against corrupt governments!

[experiencepoints]

Well, we're not certain they're corrupt yet.

But if they are, call me, I'll see if I can hit them with a Fire 3 from my ship.

[resnipstance]

Have I mentioned yet that I'm glad you're on my side?

[experiencepoints]

Well, it's always worth saying again.

[resnipstance]

Careful, or your head'll get too big to fit through the blast doors.

[experiencepoints]

Then I'll just widen the doors with magic.
