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! ♥

"Probably the age of the place, yes. I don't really see the Jedi leaving traps here, there, and everywhere," Garth'zel says in a vaguely amused tone. "If this was a Sith Temple, there would be absolutely no way I wouldn't be investigating things on my own to make certain there wasn't anything nasty to trip."

He shakes his head slightly. "There was a place that belonged to the Sadow'een--that is, elite assassins who served Naga Sadow--on Hoth and getting in was tricky due to traps and ancient droids that were still functioning." He makes a face. "I got a little fried by one because there wasn't a way to avoid the damn thing; just set it off. Anyway. I had to fight off the droids while an archeologist that I was borrowing--and ended up keeping--dealt with the trap on the door. I honestly have no idea if it's still possible to find or if ice and snow finally filled up the way to get to it."

Not entirely germane, but hey, it keeps the attention off Anakin and his bag of issues, so.

Anakin loves Obi-Wan - so much did that his disapproval hurts to the point of it being almost physical pain, but his strict critism, occasional public dressing downs that were nothing but humilitating, and cool Jedi affection had not only made Palpatine's warmth and praise something Anakin craved but had in its own right left Anakin with some psychological wounds hec was only begining to understand. And that was without touching the disaster that had been his handling of his mother.

"The Temple was built over the course of two centuries, around eleven hundred years ago and needed repairs during the Clone Wars we didn't have the manpower or resources to do." Still, he listens intently to Garth'zel's explanation as they walk, easily guiding them through the overgrown brush until they can see the hanger opening - blocked by a thick tangle of vines he knows from experience will take a vibro-ax to cut through. Or lightsabers. "Eh. Might want to let us cut a path." They could vault the patch. The ladies could not.

Is...is Amilyn looking disappointed that there won't be any booby traps? (Yes.) She's encouraging the conversation, while Leia seems fondly exasperated by her.

"Oh, fascinating! We used Hoth as a base back during the Rebellion, so I think it's completely buried now--would have been in reports of the planet if it wasn't, I'm sure. We certainly didn't use any existing structures to build Echo Base."

She also looks game to try climbing the vines, but Leia's more practical nature is going to win that particular fight. She's too old and tired to go vaulting and/or clambering over any vines, and they're going to have to cut them down anyway.

"Please do."

"Mmm, my little visit was around thirty-six hundred years ago, so I'm not surprised. The temple itself, assuming there's anything left of it, would be five thousand years old. Maybe slightly older." Yes, there is a lot of time involved there.

He gently disengages from Leia to head towards the vines, pulling out his lightsaber. "Anakin, which side are you taking?" So he can hit the opposite side.

[turnedforher]

"I assume snow and ice are like sand and shift a great deal too." Not that. He's familiar with trying to trudge through snow and ice towards a fixed point or anything. But he still gives Garth'zel a little look that all but screams 'don't you DARE'. "But I'd assume something is left?"

Anakin watches, taking his saber in his left hand and motions with the butt end of the hilt - he might be right handed but was trained to be ambidextrous with his saber - injury only honed that training. "I'll go left."

[viceadmiral]

"Oh, yes. It blows and drifts, and Hoth is also very windy. A lot can change in 36 hours, never mind 3600 years."

Leia feels calm enough to chime in. "It's awful. No one liked Echo Base but you, Amilyn."

"Well, the acoustics were lovely."

[neverwantedtobesith]

"I doubt you had any easier a time trying to keep things from freezing than we did. Besides Talos, I also borrowed the only probe droid that didn't freeze solid. That, unlike him, the Service did get back," Garth'zel calls back, heading where Anakin directed him, igniting his lightsaber and sweeping the blue beam through what seemed to be the best place to minimize the amount of work on his end and make it easy for everything to be moved out of the way.

[turnedforher]

"Acoustics?" Anakin can and does sing well, so leave it to him to latch onto that word of the exchange.

"Why give the Droid back? It'd probably freeze left there." Anakin sweeps his own lightsaber, using his right hand to sweep the cuttings further to the left. "There shouldn't be any droids here. We did use them in the Temple and on some other sites but not all of them. It was considered a duty of the Masters to upkeep this Temple."
