OPEN RP POST • STAR WARS MINGLE ⭐️

[forceshadowed]

whatever it is you've been doing
you are now in Canto Bight!


That's right. It's just like those jamjar games. One moment you're minding your own business, and then... poof!
You're in Canto Bight for no apparent reason.
(Or you've always wanted to be here, and you finally did it. Whatever, we're not the cops.)

That's not the weirdest part, though. Because you might be seeing double.
It's like the time-space continuum collapsed over the city
and now doubles and multiples of you or people you like hate want to kill know are appearing.
So go have fun with that!



HOW TO PLAY:

• Toplevel your character. Different version/AU, different toplevel please.
• Add a short background or link to an info post, and indicate prefs. TELL US WHAT KIND OF SHENANIGANS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. Shipping, smut, family reunions, dark side shenanigans, murder, a Ben Solo smackdown...
• Troll Reply to others.
• Lather, rise, repeat.
• Please note that while the intent of this post is for characters from various Star Wars verses to mingle, you don't need a Star Wars character to play! All characters are welcome — characters AU'd into SW, characters having interacted with SW characters in games and memes, fandom OCs, ship babies, etc.
• Have fun and be excellent to each other! ♥

"That's another problem with these people, for all their talk of droid rights none of them have thought to consult droids who might actually know better how it should be done." At least, none of the ones Kay had been in contact with, it was all just another case of humans -and a few aliens- thinking they knew better.

"But no, it isn't an easy answer, nothing ever is." He paused then, "Except base ten mathematical systems, those answers are always easy. Base six isn't so difficult either."

[turnedforher]

"People are like that with slave liberation too. They never consult people who are or were slaves. They think they just think they know better." Anakin couldn't help the bitterness that crept into his voice.

Although Kay's answer makes him laugh. "No, you're right. I knew base ten before I could read, and mastered base six before reading."

[icanblendin]

And just like that, Kay decided he liked this one, and he didn't like many people. Offhand he could only think of two that he actually liked -not counting Anakin- and a handful of others that he tolerated more than he did most people.

"Statistics are easier to deal with than people are." He added, giving what amounted to a shrug, a brief lifting of both hands in a half-helpless, 'what can you do?' kind of gesture, "That's where the easy answers are."

[sithling]

Anakin's friends as a child had always included Droids - he saw them, the ones he worked with, more often than he saw his other friends, because they were all slaves as well. Making friends with Kay just seemed natural.

"I prefer flying. It's like my ship and I become one, and just. It's so simple. People I'm...not always sure how. What to say." Obi-Wan tends to be critical of what he chose to say. Or do.

[icanblendin]

"That part's easy for me, I always say what I mean." Granted, sometimes he didn't say everything he wanted to say, but he never lied, and especially not about his opinions on things.

A quiet, almost inquisitive sound followed, "But I don't suppose it would be that easy for you." Because humans tended to worry about things like 'hurting each other's feelings' and that wasn't a problem Kay had.

[sithling]

"I'm always grateful for that." Saying what he meant and being open about it - Anakin appreciated those.

But the quiet sound and the comment... "It used to be, when I was little. Now it just seems like I say the wrong thing all the time." Growing pains, Obi-Wan called them.

[icanblendin]

"So you're human." He replied, short and matter-of-fact, and not really meant as a comfort because that wasn't how he operated, but in his experience saying the wrong thing -or thinking they had- was universal among humans.

Some more than others, certainly, but it was definitely something they all had in common.

[sithling]

"I'm a Jedi. Saying the wrong thing has consequences beyond that of most people. My Master says I fail to follow his lead, but he's wrong at times, and he says I focus on the wrong things." Anakin sighed.

"He'd probably tell me I should be investigating this city instead of taking to you but I'd rather be here." And he didn't feel the Force pushing him away beyond his intrinsic need to move or fidgit."

[icanblendin]

"You are?" That was... it was very nearly a tone of disbelief, because as far as Kay knew, the Jedi were all but extinct, along with most other Force-adherents, even on Jedha, not that Jedha was there anymore, either, but that was beside the point.

"I wasn't aware there were that many Jedi left." Probably not the right thing to say, but straight to the point because that was just how he operated.

[sithling]

"I am. There's...what?" Anakin was thoroughly confused. "Jedi are centered on Coruscant, but we're a decent size within the Republic."

Perhaps this is why he felt safe talking with Kay. There was something he needed to know.

[icanblendin]

"Yes." He nodded, "Hunted to extinction over the past twenty years." It had been a little less than that, but no one who hadn't been directly involved with the beginning of it knew for sure when it had started, "Or nearly to extinction, it seems."

It didn't yet occur to him that he might be altering a timeline by saying so, mostly because it hadn't yet occurred to him that they were from different realities even despite the fact that he knew he'd 'died' before arriving here.
