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!

Rap. You can file that one under "religion", fyi.

[resnipstance]

Rap...? As in, rap... music?

I think we have that. ... Probably.

I'll be honest with you here, my education didn't really cover music much at all.

That's a travesty if I ever heard one. I wouldn't have been allowed out of my crib until I could drop a rhyme. In, uh, the hypothetical alternate universe where I actually had a crib that wasn't slang for a general living space.

[resnipstance]

Rhyming is... pretty low on the list of necessary Jedi skills.

But I wouldn't mind hearing one, if you want to show me how it's done.

[feathery]

Yes.

[YES!!!!!!]

Fuck yes. Ok, give me a minute. This is serious fucking business, you can't rush genius. Wait, do they have beatboxing in galaxies far, far away. I mean that probably wasn't on the Jedi curriculum either, but a sick alien beat wouldn't go amiss.

[resnipstance]

Um. I can... try?

[SHE MAKES AN ATTEMPT.

... IT IS NOT GOOD.]

cries a little

[feathery]

[He laughs.]

Oh my god. Ok, no, keep going, I got this.

[What is this. Why is this happening.

(HE'S SO PLEASED.)]

Showin' off the art of diss, ain't no one ought to miss this shit. I got ample sets of wicked example, layin' down some crisp wordsmith's rapidfire rhyme. Crispier than KFC, this bird's your emcee, goin' tick tock, don't need no flock, just elucidatin' y'all on the paradigm. What else I got here 'sides time. Times sign, fraction line, multiplicity increasin' my dime, can't be held back, not even by slime.

Of which there was a lot, on our last space rock, enough to gross me out. Aw man, you wouldn't believe the shit I seen sprout, coulda used a drought. I be droppin' that lunar monstrosity quicker than your highest velocity. No bug eatin' will be transpirin' here, kick me in the fuckin' rear before I go near a maggot meal even if my birdbrain thinks it's a hell of a deal.

[I'm so sorry.]

So keep up, 'cause you go too slow, you're remiss to know, exactly what I'm talking 'bout on this dumb fuckin' show.

OH MY GOD this was perfect, i shed a tear

[resnipstance]

[At the end Ahsoka cracks up and claps with delight.]

Oh man-- that was amazing! You seriously just came up with that on the spot?

[feathery]

[This definitely only encourages him.]

Freestyle is the way of my people. Probably helps I been shoring up my craft lately, though. It's a good way to kill time.

[resnipstance]

Don't be so modest. That's a gift! You could totally drop an album.

[feathery]

Man, if only. You'd think it'd be easy to find mixing gear in space, but no. And anytime we're near somewhere that's got it, it's with the worst possible combination of price tag and my bank account.

[resnipstance]

Huh. Why does that not surprise me?

The Atroma always want to keep us from having the one thing we want most.

[feathery]

Yeah. If they didn't, imagine all the one-way tickets on the road to freedom they'd be giving away. Be like Oprah, only with something a little more size manageable than a car.

[resnipstance]

Who's Oprah?

[feathery]

Memeable philanthropist who likes bees.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka laughs.]

... I have no idea what you just said. But I'll take your word for it.

[feathery]

Do they not have bees in space.

[Because this is clearly the confusing part.]
