WHO: Leia Organa & You!
WHAT: Leia is exploring different Star Wars worlds, doing some stealing, and getting the big time feels on Alderaan
WHERE: Different Star Wars related locations
WHEN: Anytime during Star Wars door time (May 4th - 11th)
RATING: Will be dependant on thread.

At first, when Leia had caught wind of he the doors leading to lands that were from her galaxy her heart had leapt. Her immediate thought was that she now had a way home - back to her friends, her family and the fight she needed so desperately to see through.

Whilst it had been true her galaxy was now in within her reach, the disappointment had settled in quickly when Leia had investigated several of the doors and found she had no control over the location, or the timeline in which she arrived. Dagobah? She couldn't have made her way home from there, it was a remote swamp planet with close to no civilization.

Another door. Coruscant. The highly populated, thriving, bustling city - in the years of the Galactic War between the Republic and the Sith Empire - thousands of years before her birth.

Whilst a way to find her home, and her time appeared to be an impossibility, Leia had immediately decided she wouldn’t let the opportunity go to waste and out to make some use of what she had. The technology of her galaxy could still prove useful. Couldn’t it? Whether it was one corrupt, tyrannical Empire or the other was threatening peace, she had no qualms about stealing from them.

[OOC: Hey folks! Here’s just a catch-all for Leia’s Star Wars adventures, everyone and anyone is welcome to tag and though I’m accepting multiple tags, maybe three/four all up including the one reserved for Lena is where I’d limit it - if you’re not sure feel free to hit me up on discord or my journal!]

Alderaan

Whilst each location proved a new opportunity, Leia had hoped, with each door she had opened that one might be her homeworld. As soon as she’d opened the door, she recognised at once, the crisp, fresh air of the world she so loved. The bright sun shone above beautiful, surrounding snow-capped mountains, vibrant grassy meadows filled with wildflowers and evergreen forests. Rising from the centre of it all, a beautiful, shining city; surrounded the natural beauty of the planet.

Here the doors had opened to stunning wilderness a still only a short walk from Aldera City, the sky was generally free of the congestion of speeders and high levels of traffic, it was more common to see giant winged beasts soaring peacefully above, Thantra were a widely used mode of transport for many of the Alderaanians.

Leia took in her surrounds slowly, finding her heart both fill with joy, and ache all at once as she tried not to be overcome by the sights, the smells and the sounds of a world she never thought she’s see again.

Alderaan - Leia | Evaan

"Doesn't seem real, does it?" When the doors opened to worlds that Evaan knew, she'd decided to finally take the plunge and step through. She'd gone to Nar Shaddaa, then to Coruscant, and when she finally went through a door to find Alderaan she stayed there. Maybe it was homesickness, or that grief that she always pushed back instead of properly dealing with, but she couldn't bring herself to go back through the door. She had tried. After walking every street in Aldera, finding her childhood home and her mother's workshop in the hands of another young family that looked heart-breakingly happy, even visiting the parts of the palace that were open to the public, she'd resolved that this wasn't her Alderaan and she had headed back to the door. She'd ended up staring at the door for a while before turning her back on it to look at the sky and the city in the distance.

That had been her routine for the last three days. Sleep, explore the city, come back to the door in tears and then turn around and head back to Aldera. Sure, eventually the door would make the final choice for her and pull her back to that world they were living on and Starklandia, but a part of her hoped this little exercise would help her let go properly when she was forced back.

"I'm not sure if it is." Evaan slipped her hands into her pockets as she approached Leia with a sorrowful smile, one hand curling around a pebble she'd picked up, thumb rubbing at it like it was a worry stone. "Things are different. But it smells the same, the shops are the same, same pretentious off-worlders trying to explain our art to us loitering around the university. It's been so hard to leave, I haven't managed it yet. But it's so good to see you."

“So this is where you’ve been.” Leia voiced to the appearance of her friend, arching a brow as she looked to Evaan with warmth, and sadness too. Of course it wasn’t in the least judgemental, simply being here, as the distinctive scent of wildflowers native to only their homeworld was carried on a warm breeze, it was near enough to knock the Princess, and rebel fighter to her knees. Who else, but a fellow Alderaanian could truly understand? "Good to see you too." Had the mood not been somewhat more reflective, and inescapably solemn she might've drawn the woman into a tight hug, whether she liked it or not.

“I can’t blame you. I’d hoped for it, and I’ve been afraid it would happen all at once.” Leia remarked softly as she allowed a wan sort of smile, likely Evaan was the only one who’d be privy to such a candid thought. “It’s been so- vital not to dwell.” Leia said such, knowing Evaan’s opinions on her attitude shortly after the battle of Yavin, and her focus on moving forward, it was not necessarily a view shared. She had once confessed, that should it mean an end to the Empire - she would not change anything that had happened; she simply wouldn’t let it be in vain.

This. This made it more difficult, immensely painful; Leia was guarded, but not cold in her manner. “But, I can’t say that I’m not tempted to stay- .” Whilst it wouldn’t be a life as productive as she could have lead as monarch, rebel leader, or politician - if nothing else she could still appreciate everything about Alderaan her father and mother had raised her to love and respect so deeply; more so than she ever could have before it was taken away. “If we’re really, truly stuck on that world-” She threw a glance back to where she’d come from, and not favourably.
