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! ♥

There was also something to be said for Cassian's newfound tendency to be more … careful during the course of his missions. He had always be cautious and wary, but now he was a little more aware of his own mortality. And where he used to think when I die, someone will take my place, now he thought I have to get back to Carol by any means necessary.

For the first time since he was six years old and on his own, Cassian was thinking about a future.

His eyebrow raised all the further, but his eyes lit up at the statement. His arm tightened just so. "Guess I'd better finish up down here, then, huh?"

Might as well use the amenities they've been granted, right?

There was a little of that on Carol's end as well. In general, Carol punched first and thought second. And with a body as nearly indestructible as hers, it only supported that mind set.

But the key word there was nearly. There were still things that hurt her, that could take her out. And while they were few and far between, she did find herself stopping to consider them before diving in. It was more than worth taking a minute to think if it kept her alive not just for the universe, the Avengers, but for Cassian.

Her smile widened and she leaned in to steal another quick kiss. "Do the job well." A reminder, though she knew he would even if she didn't say it. "But then, yes. We'll have some fun." It was rare that she had the opportunity to enjoy a fancy hotel room. She was going to make it count for them both.

It was amazing how finding the right partner could ... change old mindsets. Cassian knew that for the most part, he didn't have to worry about Carol - her power was unlike anything he had ever seen before, but that didn't mean that he didn't. Who knew what horrors the universe still had to unveil, after all?

Still, he knew that they were both working toward an after, and that made all the difference.

"Always", he answered, his lips quirking upward in the aftermath of the kiss. It shouldn't be difficult, just the exchange of data sticks, but still, sometimes een the easiest missions fell apart. And with so many people surrounding them, the situation was unpredictable at best.

From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the contact casually walking near the rendezvous point. In the guise of pressing a kiss to the column of Carol's throat, Cassian spoke, his voice low enough so that only she could hear. "I'm going to lead you to the drop point. We will act distracted and bump into him. We will drop our respective datasticks, pick up the other, apologize and go on our way. Ready?"

It shouldn't be hard at all. But Carol's been a part of plenty of missions that were supposed to be easy, but very quickly fell apart into messes. She's hoping that today is the exception because she does want to get Cassian upstairs, but she's not going to count on it.

Carol's hand came up to rest on the back of his neck. She gave a subtle stroke of her finger and hummed a sound of agreement since her lips weren't nestled against any skin and she wasn't sure who could overhear. Then for the sake of other ears: "Come on, handsome. Let's go,"

Cassian has been a part of many an innocuous mission that hasn't gone to plan. So while this one is supposed to be easy, he's not about to drop his guard under the assumption that nothing out of the ordinary is going to happen here.

He leans closer, nodding his head a fraction, the arm he's curled around her middle tightening slightly, his smile a bit dazed as he took a step away from the bar, making sure that they were still on a collision course with their target as they went.

Carol let out her best mock giggle as they stepped away from the bar. Enough to cover that they were a slightly tipsy couple, but not enough to draw attention. She hoped. Undercover was Cassian's world and she was just trying not to get him caught.

She places her hand on his chest, making it look like she's relying entirely on him to take them to their destination. But out of the corner of her eye, she can see them coming up on his contact. Just a little more and they'd make contact.

Good thing was that most of the other patrons were so caught up that even if they noticed Cassian and Carol, their attention would soon enough be stolen elsewhere. And Carol is blending in perfectly, so he knows that he has little to worry about in that regard.

Even as he leads her through the crowd, he's got one eye firmly on the target, gauging the distance, their trajectory, any nearby passerby that may or may not get in their way. Thankfully, nobody actually does end up crossing their paths and eventually contact is made, the collision looks as accidental as it's meant to, and Cassian drops to one knee as he laughs heartily.

"Sorry about that! Didn't really see where I was going. Here, let me pick this up for you."

Switching datasticks is easy, and he's already tucked the precious information away by the time he stands, his smile crooked and apologetic as he hands over the dropped chips. "Here you are, mate. Good luck out there."
