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!]

It was quiet, and really for a place this loaded with scrap and parts that were proving to be in a usable shape as far as she’d seen, it was a surprise they hadn’t been ambushed by savage Akk Dogs, and Leia had rather eagerly let her guard down to scavenge as quickly as possible - perhaps the fact they’d not been disturbed as of yet was ..more ominous than in ought to be.

“I think we can push it a little longer.” She offered, despite looking warily around as if her words were about to cause their luck to run out immediately, the hint of nerves in her expression made it clear she knew it to be a risk, their good fortune so far had come far too easily. Plus, the more they collected, the slower they’d be should they need to run for it. "Maybe it’s just the leaving that’s going to prove the problem?" Leia gave a small sigh, it was all a gamble, but she wasn’t quite ready to go.

"I’m pretty sure I saw some repulsor-lifts inside that chassis." She nodded a bit further up ahead. "Anti-grav type tech, if you’re interested? We could divide up what's in there?"

Tony really was interested in sticking around longer so all he needed was the suggestion that Leia thought they could probably stick around a bit longer to agree to it. Sure they couldn't stick around for hours and hours, but a little while longer maybe they could handle that.

"I hope not." The getting in had been fairly easy, getting out should hopefully go the same, they were much more loaded down now than they had been before they'd come through the gate, so if there was something waiting for them as they tried to leave he wasn't eager to find out whatever that might be.

His eyes went wide when she told him taht she'd seen some sort of anti-gravity tech, and yeah, if there was something that Tony knew he needed to check out he was positive that as it. "Oh man yeah, yes, definitely. We've gotta check that out. Maybe we'll make our way in and grab anything good we see along the way then get the lifts and get out?" He suggested as a sort of plan.

“We’ll-- just have to be ready. I guess.” Sort of ready. As ready as one can been for an ambush. Whether or not she wanted to think about, but she couldn’t help but think between her blaster, and his ..gauntlet thing, they’d at least have some chance of a get away. She gave a tug on the netting bag though, the weight of it would be a problem, she’d gotten a little over eager.

Leia grinned with ease to his response, glad she’d been able to help. “Sure- that’s almost a plan?” One she seemed happy enough to follow.

She wandered slowly down, so he could follow at his own pace, sorting through the pile nearest. “Starships from my world generally rely on repulsor lifts for take off.” Leia wasn’t certain if he even wanted the information, but she’d more or less thrown him in the deep end of a world of technology he wasn’t even from. “And they keep speeders off the ground. I think it’s usually identical stuff between the smaller vessels, just- you know, the heavier the machine, the more you’ll need.” At least so she’d been taught or gleaned from Han, or Luke. “I’ve never had to install them, of course- but as long as they’re connected to some sort of power source?” she’s got no reason to believe they wouldn’t work.

She examined what looked like a light of some sort, before setting it aside. “Is there anything in mind you’re looking to build?” She asked, digging through stuff alongside him as they moved toward the chassis she'd pointed out.

"That's what I do," Tony said with a laugh, "Come up with sort of plans." Steve was usually around to help round things out and make it a true honest to god plan. But Tony had always been much more of a fly by the seat of his pants kind of guy when it came to things like this, he'd figure things out on the fly, take them as they came as long as he had an idea of what he was doing it was fine.

And right then he had an idea of what they were doing and that was finding that anti-gravity tech and then getting the heck out of there. He listened while she explained a little bit about the repulsor lifts. It didn't sound like she was an expert but someone who had at least a basic knowledge was better than no knowledge at all. "Well I think that's something we can try and figure out a bit more once we've got time to really look at what we're dealing with."

When she asked about his plans for building he shrugged. "I don't have anything in particular in mind right now, I'm working on building up the net a little bit back home." He explained, so he didn't need parts for that. "I just like having options, you know?" He shrugged, you never knew when you might want to start building something, and having spare parts and scrap from a space world seemed like a great idea.

They moved slowly but with purpose bit by bit until they reached the chassis she'd pointed out for them. "Okay, do you know where we should look? Or are we just going to wander around a bit more until we find what we're after?"

"That sounds familiar." Leia agreed with a small grin, whilst she had been part of precisely planned strikes, and tried to plan against the Empire, a lot of it came down to throwing together something close to a plan, as quickly as possible.

"Absolutely- there’s plenty of people who build with whole mix of spare parts- planets like this one where the only chance you might have at a vehicle is to throw together what you can find and hope it doesn’t explode." She imagined it was the same between worlds, there were just people who liked to tinker with machinery. It was used a lot in sport too. Pod Racing. "Though, I get the feeling that’s not entirely how you work?" She assumed with a widening smile, the gauntlet she’d seen looked to be put together, more than simply functional, impressive and pretty professional.

As they found the spot she’d indicated she nodded, leaning into the metal hull of the starship, the cockpit was gone completely, the metal twisted and warped, a few clinging shards of glass grimy. It could’ve been something similar to an x-wing, a one person ship with just the long nose left, Leia leaned into be able to point them out. "So ..along the left and right here- eight of them as far as I can see." she pointed out, they were round, small enough to grab and nestled around what looked to be a partially torn apart flight computer, bits already salvaged from it. "I’m not sure I recognise much else, but you’re welcome to it- then I guess we should get the kriff out of here."
