When: 5/25 during an aforementioned ridiculous hour

we're still stuck on this poison shithole and everyone hates it so let's talk about something that doesn't 100% suck for once okay?

what's the first thing you're going to do when you make it home and out of the void of space

Comments

[resnipstance]

... Honestly? I'm... not really sure.

I guess that depends a lot on whether we're successful or not.

[robitussin]

well yeah i figure you won't really be doing anything ever again if you're not successful

[resnipstance]

Pretty much!

I guess if we're successful... there are a lot of things I'd like to do. I don't know if all of them are realistic. Or doable. But I feel like the most important thing is to do my part in helping to put the Republic back to rights after the war is over. I'm not naive enough to think that just ending the war means everything will magically be okay again overnight. There's so much corruption in the Senate and in the Order... and there are so many planets out there whose governments or economies are in a shambles from all the chaos. Not to mention all the civilian refugees who no longer have homes. There's a lot of work to be done.

... Anakin is going to have kids soon, too. Twins. I told you about him, right? I don't know how soon, but-- within a year. If he and Padmé will let me... I'd like to be there to help them, too.

[robitussin]

man, you're not even going to take a while to chill??

that's cute

[resnipstance]

I think I've had just about all the "chill" I can stand. I don't think I've ever been stuck in one spot so long since I was twelve. It's driving me crazy.

I want to be out there, in the field. Helping people. Making the world a better place. How can I possibly sit still when I know there are people out there who need help?

[robitussin]

not sure if i would call living under the assumption that we might be watched by millions of people chilling

ohhhh you're one of those people who feels guilty when you're not doing something

[resnipstance]

Well... compared to being in a war, it's still pretty chill.

I don't know if I would say "guilty" is the right word. More like "restless"?

[robitussin]

guess so

it probably boils down to the same thing

[resnipstance]

Guess it's that pesky Jedi upbringing.

[robitussin]

probably

anyways i have an important proposition

[resnipstance]

Shoot.

[robitussin]

at least take like one night

have a sleepover with your jedi friends idk

[resnipstance]

["That might be a little bit difficult" is the first thing that comes to Ahsoka's mind. But it isn't cool to be a downer, so--]

... Sure. I'll try.

[robitussin]

that was pretty halfhearted but i'll take it

[resnipstance]

I'm not really great at sitting still. And stuff at home is a little bit ... complicated.

[robitussin]

yeah believe it or not i kind of got that impression already

[resnipstance]

That's not even the tip of the iceberg...

[robitussin]

do tell

i'll grab the popcorn

[resnipstance]

Iiiiit's not really a popcorn-worthy story.

But the short version is that I left the Jedi Order after my farce of a trial.

[robitussin]

because what almost happened to you was shitty?

[resnipstance]

Pretty much.

It should never have happened in the first place.

[robitussin]

pretty fair

so what's your job title now

[resnipstance]

Uh. Professional teenager?

Honestly, I don't know. I'm still working that part out.

[robitussin]

if only you could get paid for being a teenager

[resnipstance]

I'm sure I'll work something out. The Force isn't done with me yet.

[And it's taken her a long time to accept that.]
