GOOD NEWS: Triple Zero did not come on this journey. NO MURDERBOT!

BAD NEWS: MY WORKSHOP IS NOT HERE. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

	Well THAT'S a story I'd wanna hear. Whatever she had in Mandalorian history books is all negative. It just seems obvious, your intentions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll tell you what I know from Obi-Wan. It's vastly different from what's recorded. At least I wasn't Darth Bane, or Maul, or Plagueis, or Sidious, or Tyrannus... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Story time! I love storytime. You know what I love more than storytime? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Naked storytime. (Look I was even nice to hide it from everyone.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] Thank you for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. I'm your dirty little secret. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. balancetheforce 2018-01-09 04:33 am UTC (link)
	I guess that's accurate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Relax, Skywalker. I'm okay with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I don't know if I~~ It can be exhausting, keeping a secret. I used to think it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's frustrating having to be so careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. aphra 2018-01-09 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. Nobody knew I was secretly working for you, and I wanted to TELL EVERYONE. But hey, your Queen's here. Your kids and grandkids and random arms dealers you know are here. I get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Do you think it would've helped you get more business or frighten people away? I'm sure it would've helped with enforcing delinquent payment...

"My Queen?"? My marriage ended months before you arrived. But when I was married, we kept it a secret until we were taken from our galaxy. That's what I was talking about— I know what it is to keep things hidden and how it wears.

	My clientele really wants to stay under ALL radars, but especially Imperial. Delinquent payment, sure, but then they'd know I was Imperial underneath it all. 'Cause of the whole Jedi thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. balancetheforce 2018-01-10 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Ah, right, you'd get paid what was owed but never get any further business, unless they were too afraid to NOT do business with you. Mostly that, yes. And keeping scandals out of her own career. I never really got to ask her how trying to hide her pregnancy worked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And they know that at some point, the Empire would tell me who I could sell to, what I could sell, what they could do with it, and I hate being told what to do. Sounds boring. Like annoying and boring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. balancetheforce 2018-01-10 03:31 am UTC (link)
	Don't forget what cut someone from the Empire would demand from it as "fees" which conveniently went to personal accounts. There's something I should tell you, but I don't think it should be like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. aphra 2018-01-10 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, that'd be at LEAST half of it off the top, then a Darth Vader fee. It would just keep going until I was just an Imperial hack. We have GOT to work on how you talk to people. You can't just SAY SOMETHING like that and then be like "But not like this" because my mind is racing, and it's all bad things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. balancetheforce 2018-01-10 03:37 am UTC (link)
	And so instead, I was your "tall, dark, and genocidal" secret? May I come see you? It's not bad about you; it's bad about me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. aphra 2018-01-10 03:58 am UTC (link)
	Ugh, don't ask like that. Just say, "Hey, Aphra, I'm going to come talk to you about this vague thing that is bad about me, even though you know, you knew me when I was tall, dark and genocidal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. balancetheforce 2018-01-10 04:01 am UTC (link)
	As you can see, talking (even via typing) has never been one of my skills. So. Aphra, I'm going to come talk to you, and it's about me and not you, but it's relevant to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphra/anakin. aphra 2018-01-10 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Okay then. You know where my room is. (Reply to this) (Parent)
