Who: Anakin Skywalker
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Paisley
When: Right meow

There are a lot of questions and interests about other worlds lately. I have one question that I'm interested in right now. [ Alright, Ankain you can do this. Forget about that scolding Obi-Wan voice in your head telling you that the future is always changing. ] Does your universe-- do you believe in fate?

[ Oh, great. It sounds like a load of bantha dung when he actually hears it out loud. Awkwardly: ]

Destiny.

[ That doesn't help, which is fine. It's fine. It goes against the Jedi teachings and feels wrong just saying it. Nevermind that things are different with each universe, so it can't be really applicable, right?

Whatever, roll with it.

He adds, without pause, a completely unnecessary definition. ]

That certain things needs to happen in the future.

......Bigby's a Children's Story but he's really adult.

[ I mean, he's the Big Bad Wolf--that counts right? ]

I... What? I don't know who that is.

It doesn't matter. It's not about true love.

But why not?? That's supposed to be fate and stuff! [ don't spoil his hopes and dreams Anakin!! ]

[ He narrows his eyes for a moment then a wry chuckle. ]

Were you in a bar when you were told that? Because chances are that's a pickup line.

Nah, I don't usually go to those kinds of places~ [ Too many other vampires scoping out prey and the like. He's not usually a welcome guest. ]

Then where did you get that idea in your head?

Isn't that what everyone thinks?? Like...it happens in stories all the time!

That fate always means true love?

[ A wry chuckle ]

Uh, I don't know. I don't know a lot of stories that involves "fated true love".

[ AND YET, HE LIVES ONE ]

[ EXACTLY COME ON ANAKIN ]

Wellll...what about Aschenputtel?

I don't know what a 'ashenputtle' is.

It's a girl! And she had awful sisters and stuff, but the Price found her shoe and they got married!

[ .....NAILED IT ]

[ There's stories from all over the galaxy. This might be just another one, or it could be another Sascha thing.

#saschathings ]

I don't think I know that one. Can you tell me the full story?

[ That is the most appropriate hashtag ever tbh. ]

.....I thought that was the whole story.

Uh. It doesn't sound like it's the full story. How did the girl meet the Price. Why was the Price looking for her or her shoe?

[ DETAILS, CMON. ]

...I don't know! But they lived happily ever after and stuff! [ HE WAS ILLITERATE UNTIL HE GOT HERE OKAY details are hard ]

[ Squints.. ]

... Who told you this story?

No one. I just kinda overheard it sometimes~ [ Which would be why his retelling of it is not exactly elaborate or accurate. ]

That's weird.

You know that's weird, don't you.

[ Damnit Anakin... He hates being called weir even if he knows it's true )8 ]

Why is that weird??

[ Oh my, is something actually bothering Sascha. ]

You overheard "fated love stories for kids". Either you're creeping around kids or people with kids.

[ He doesn't like to be reminded that he doesn't fit in anywhere!! ]

Well how else was I supposed to hear the stories??

[ WELL TOO BAD ]

... By asking, Sascha.

They wouldn't have told me though... [ His eyes are generally a dead giveaway of what he is back home. No responsible mother would let a vampire near their child :c ]

What- Who wouldn't have?

Anyone I asked. [ Humans hate vamps and vampires see no point in human stories for children ): it's hard ]
