I HAVE A SON?!

Jarvis, I need a drink.

Peg, help me out here, will ya?

Steve! How... how friggin many of you are there?

....that's one hell of a smooth process for newcomers. How long has this been happening for them to get it that perfect?!

I HAVE A SON??!!?!??!

That was definitely one of the longest naps I've ever had and I'm kind of glad to be awake because I am starving.

Did the fairies do anything to you?

( My mother used to try and get me to meditate. )

I realize that this side of the 21st century is rather stunted technologically speaking, but you'd think that they would have managed to come up with a course management system for educators that actually works. Really, what are the incompetents at Blackboard doing with all of their development money?

Would any of my fellow educators like to schedule a standing appointment for an alcohol-fueled, sweets-riddled grading party?

I'm enjoying learning about an entirely new world, untouched by the Republic or the war. It's an interesting feeling, the surprises.

I particularly like jeans. Nice invention.

[Leia (Legends)]

I'm piecing some things together. I'm planning on watching these holovids soon. How are you?

I was just thinking about receiving gifts or whatever you want to call them from the portal or from whoever has control here. Well, in a very odd coincidence, I was delivered a handwritten letter sent to me from - myself. Did anyone else receive anything similar recently?

This is [.....] new. I'll admit, I did not expect to show up on a technologically primitive planet when I died. Very interesting.

I've had no luck with a quadrant map. Can anyone tell me if this is Outer Rim? I'm not familiar with the local name, Earth.

While Spring is my favorite season, I think Fall is a close second. I know it isn't, technically, the season yet but I do look forward to seeing the leaves change. And having been here nearly a year now, I do miss the harvest festivals we'd have in Hyrule. I know that next month there's the Halloween festival, which I understand better now, but I am unsure if this world has anything similar to them.

I was looking over the businesses in this town because of a certain shop and I'm confused by another one. Why does a place called "Capes & Collectibles" have nothing to do with actual capes?

And am I right that in this world, you shouldn't go to the police station to "answer a few questions" without legal representation present? Because I declined to go.

How do you feel about the 8th for New York? I can get us tickets for Hamilton right now if that works for you. The 15th also seems doable on the ticket front.

FILTER TO THE WAUGH-REN FAMILY

Thank you for the plants, Fray. I like mine immensely. What does yours look like?

FILTER TO QUENTIN COLDWATER

When do you think you'll have a spare few hours?

When you were in the hotel, you got memory updates, didn't you?

I need to go out of town for a few days. I'll be back before classes start but I can't promise a quick response on anything that comes up in the meantime.

WHO: Leia Organa Solo and Anakin Solo
WHEN: Late night
WHERE: Their home
SUMMARY: Leia has a nightmare and inadvertently wakes up Anakin.
WARNINGS: None!

( I could probably help you - if you wanted to remember. )

Someone broke into Darth Vaper last night. Smashed the sign outside. Anyone know anyone who might have a thing against Darth Vader puns?

I've been enjoying the festival all weekend, especially last night's pageant. As someone who comes from a society and culture where extravagant hairstyles are in, I have to say I'm still impressed with how big Miss Tumbleweed was able to get her hair.

I also never knew there were so many ways to create a tumbleweed costume. I've seen a lot today, including a young boy who had a variety of suckers and other candy all stuck to him - hair, clothes, cheek, arms ...

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if he was in costume or not...

Has anyone seen Diana recently?

Has anyone seen Meetra Surik or T3 recently? They haven't arrived for their shift at the portal, and I haven't been able to get in touch with them.

I think the important thing for us all to concede is what happened in Toon Town stays in Toon Town. Except for what didn't. Which finders, keepers.

I know I can count on your discretion.

But how theoretically open would you be to my renting out a room for something a little more personal?

Note to self: I am never ever doing pet surveillance. I will not watch you dog while you're at work because you suspect he is up to no good. And telling you no doesn't make me a shitty detective either.

Seriously, poll guys. How many of you wonder what your pets are up to while you're at work? Lots of us, right? How many people would hire someone to tail their dog? If anyone of you answer that they would, I would like to suggest that you seek some help for your unhealthy obsession with your pet.

Legos. This weekend. My place. Your ticket for entry is a snack and some Legos.

I decided to work for Tony for a while mostly full time. I think I'm going to do some classes throughout the next school year, but I'm also kind of ready to just do things and I think this might be better for now. And if it doesn't work, I'll consider University next semester.

Next time you should try 'yes'. You don't want to get known as a Negative Nancy.

Don't ask me what a Negative Nancy is, because I have no idea.

No.

[Filter: Skywalkers & Solos (both timelines) & Eliot Waugh]

Eliot and I wanted to tell you that we're engaged. Eliot proposed, I accepted.

We're just telling family and close friends right now, and Eliot still needs to speak to some of his friends, so I would appreciate you keeping it quiet until we make a public announcement, but I wanted you all to hear it from me first.

Odd question, probably, but a question to be asked. Droids are known to acquire personalities, at least where I'm from. T3 hasn't been wiped, and I don't plan to do so. I would like for him to find his own way, see if he can be. Problem is not too sure how to manage that. Advice would be appreciated.

So it seems people are pretty eager to talk about spy games here. But maybe the more interesting question is, who of you guys do you think would win in a fight?

[FRIENDS, FAMILY, CURRENT & FORMER X-MANSION PEOPLE]

I don't know how anyone will feel about this, but I'm letting you know that I'm moving out of the mansion. With Artoo, of course. We've moved in with Aphra at her place.

Artoo and I want to thank everyone we lived with for their hospitality— or in Sabine's case, for keeping it interesting.

So how does one go about judging an alien beauty pageant?

Because I may have finally found a job worth doing.

This week we are selling The Hoth. An iced white mocha, that is neither as cold as Hoth, nor as white as it, but I don't come up with these names. I think they're inspired by the place across the street.

I hate this weather. There has to be somewhere on this planet that's cooler.

Such a warm welcome seems strange when pulled through a portal without warning. Then again, the universe is full of many strange things.

I am Diana of Themiscyra, daughter of Hippolyta. I understand that I, or at least a version of myself, have been here before. My apologies to those who may have known me then, as I am afraid I will not know you. I look forward to becoming acquainted nevertheless.

WHO: Leia Organa Solo (Legends) & Lando Calrissian

It's strange visiting places where you used to live. Especially when the last time you've been there was the 1930s. Or well, the last time you've been to actually look at the place and not just fight monsters was the 1930s that is. It's kinda nice to wander around and not have to deal with Katobleps or getting turned into a corn plant.

And surprise, surprise, despite being many universes apart and decades past, my favorite gelatarie is still around, granted with new decorations. I had about as much luck getting a 'name' discount now as I did back then.

[Filtered to Leia Organa Solo and Leia Organa]

Would the two of you like to have lunch with me this weekend? Whichever day works for you both.

Since it seems that today is a day to honor fathers and last month I missed the day to honor mothers thanks to that powers issue, I would like to say that my parents, Jobal and Ruwee Naberrie, are two of the most wonderful people that I have ever known. I only hope that I do them both honor with every action I take, and I can't help but hope they both one day arrive in Tumbleweed.

Leia - both of you - if you haven't had the opportunity to meet them, I hope that you do someday. And the same for you, Kylo and Anakin.

I just got the finalized plane tickets for that Santa gifted Italy trip, so I guess that's the last thing settled.

At least travel wise. We'll probably need someone to look in on the animals... or take them? While we're gone? Thoughts on who?

Never get bored, Google yourself, and read fanfiction written about yourself.

Or do, if that's what you're into.

It's been many, many years since I had an opportunity to keep a garden, a real one, nothing in hydroponics. Not since Alderaan Besides a trip to the gardening store, which I have planned already, is there anyone with experience who might be able to help me decide the sort of flowers that will do well in this climate?

I'm kinda really okay with summer being here even if I don't really know what i'm doing next

[Filter: Nico]

So we have Italy trips.

Would it be all right if we had some people over next weekend? I keep wanting to have this Lego building party thing.

Wonder if the Force is saying something by sending me another crystal.

We've got a preliminary Itinerary of this year's senior trip. The EPS is covering hotels, transpo, and meals. Though spending money will be on students. We're planning to leave Sunday June 17 (following graduation on the 16th) and return Sunday June 24th and go from Tumbleweed to Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Canyon National Park.

This is a classic roadtrip across some great stretches of the country, and I really tried to grasp that Americana flavor with choice of stops and roadside attractions. It should be cool rad gnarly fun.!

Unfortunately Jean's due around this time, so I'm unable to go. I have a soft yes from Emma on this trip, but ideally we need at least three drivers.

Preferably 25+ and comfortable driving some sort of Winnebago. I'm working that last detail out with rentals and our insurance.

GALAXY FAR AWAY:

Have any of you been affected by the recent power exchange? Are you in need of someone to handle things for you?

Not again.

FILTERED TO FRIENDS, FAMILY & COWORKERS*

On Friday, I'm going to be hosting a small barbecue here at the Cottage. Some of you may know by now but yesterday evening my wife, Fen, arrived here in Tumbleweed and I would like to have the opportunity to introduce her to each and every one of you. If you cannot make it, as I know this is short notice, I understand and hope that we can arrange for her to be introduced to you at some future point in time.

I got a job at Darth Vaper. I know more Star Trek than Wars, but Hey, isn't there a guy named DARTH VADER because I get the joke now.

Thanks. Haven't ever had a real birthday party had a party since I was like 8.

Eliot, you're a fucking detective with the food yesterday.

( It's been a strange voyage. )

I must confess that I don't know what to do with myself without a system to protect. I'm so used to going over budgets and filling in security holes and fixing breaches that I find my apartments a very cold place now. My nephew doesn't burst in to ask me questions. My advisers don't seek me out to ask opinions. I thought it would be freeing, but I'm not so sure.

That was kriffing jarring. Thank the stars Triple Zero's just like I left him though: completely turned off.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER:

You better still be here, or I am going to raise some serious Force. I don't know how but I will.

STAR WARS PEOPLE & TONKS:

If any of you need me, I'll be spending my time at the resort, stretching these old legs and swimming in the ocean.

Nothing but sun and cocktails for me this time around.

Read these little animals don't need to be in their ball, so that's good. Feels kind of small. Also this one needs a name, not great with those so advice appreciated.
