Who: Ahsoka + You

Action: Not really (though if you want to find her, she'll be in her room on the Starstruck)
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!

oh. well that sucks

[resnipstance]

It's okay. I've pretty much grown up with it, so it's something I'm used to.

It does make for an awkward conversation bump, though. Sorry.

[robitussin]

it was admittedly awkward but i think i'll live through it

was it at least almost over?

[resnipstance]

One way or another. It'll be ending when I get back.

[She's going to end it with her own two hands if she has to. By wringing Palpatine's neck.]

[robitussin]

let me guess you're planning something really dangerous and life threatening

[resnipstance]

What else?

[robitussin]

this is text but please imagine a heavy put upon sigh ____ right there

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka smiles even though Natalie can't see it.]

Your sigh has been noted and catalogued with the others.

Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll take back-up!

[robitussin]

they should not be catalogued you should remember these sighs at all times

well then good luck not dying i guess

[resnipstance]

Seriously! I've done way more dangerous things. This one time, I had to jump between two moving starfighters in mid air! This'll be a piece of cake.

[robitussin]

well i feel better now that i know what a careful person you are

[resnipstance]

Who said anything about careful?

The word you're looking for is "capable."

[robitussin]

well fingers crossed then

anyways what's your master plan

[resnipstance]

We'll be arresting the Supreme Chancellor for conspiracy and treason immediately upon return.

Even if a fair trial is way better than he deserves. And more than he gave me.

[robitussin]

damn

what'd he do to you?

[resnipstance]

It's a long story.

But long story short, I was put on trial for a crime I didn't commit. But as far as "fair trials" go, there was nothing fair about it. It was a joke.

[robitussin]

that sucks

so were you in jail or what

[resnipstance]

I was in jail before my trial, yes.

My old master managed to find the real culprit though, while the trial was going on. He brought them to the court to confess, so in the end I got off. I don't have any illusions about what would've happened otherwise, though. The jury was about two seconds away from pronouncing me guilty.

[robitussin]

was it like a death penalty worthy crime or

[resnipstance]

[ simply: ]

Yes.

[robitussin]

ouch

so who actually did it?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka's replies are usually quick, but this time there's a very noticeable wait before the next reply comes through. Like Ahsoka is hesitating.

In fact, Ahsoka is busy trying to come up with a suitable reply, staring at the words she writes before discarding each one after another as inadequate. "Barriss Offee," is the easy answer, but that won't mean anything to Natalie. Ahsoka can already hear the follow up question to that reply: "Who's that?"

"My best friend"? Barriss was no longer her friend, after that. "A former friend"? Too dramatic. "Another Jedi"? Untrue. "An ex-Jedi"? Too complicated to explain, only leads to more questions. Quite simply, Barriss Offee occupies a space in Ahsoka's life that defies easy labels.

Finally:]

Someone who was unhappy with the way things were being run, and thought that it would be worth it to commit a terrible crime if it would bring out into the open the corruption present in our current government.

[robitussin]

how did that work out for them

[resnipstance]

I think it depends on who you ask.

[robitussin]

well in case it wasn't clear i'm asking you
