Ahsoka and Open

Finding the perfect drink had proven to be a challenge. Every week Ahsoka would order something else or suggest some kind of combination and yet nothing really appealed to her. She wasn't that into fruity flavors and a few other combinations had proven to either taste bad or be outright toxic to her biology.

And she didn't actually like the taste of the brandy the ship had, but it worked for the time being. Ahsoka knew she probably just wasn't much of a drinker, but it would be nice to have something now and again.

She took her drink and a snack of dried meat over to a window table and settled in to people watch.

	"May I join you?" Gaeriel stood just to her right with a drink in hand — something sweet, nonalcoholic. Her sensitive, refined palate couldn't handle the bitterness of what alcoholic beverages were available. After a lifetime of drinking namana liquor, everything else tasted downright horrid.

	Looking up, Ahsoka nodded and smiled. "Of course. Have a seat. I was just people watching." One could learn a lot about people by watching them. The Force also revealed plenty of other information if one listened just right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yet another tidbit of information Gaeriel had learned from the enigmatic Luke Skywalker, who went out of his way to squash the misleading image her religion had painted of the Jedi. She regarded them with fear and looked upon their demise as a morality tale prior to his arrival, but he'd helped her to see past the lies, to think for herself instead of allowing her faith to carve a path for her she wasn't necessarily comfortable with following.

That Luke was different from the one that was here, or so she was told. She hadn't spoken to him yet ~~(as of this thread)~~ and wasn't sure if she wanted to. Not if he wasn't the Luke Skywalker she remembered. The one she—

"Thank you," Gaeri took a seat across from her, setting her cup on the table. "People watching is something politicians do frequently. Most often with one another."

The feelings coming off of Gaeriel were a jumble, but Ahsoka ignored them for her privacy's sake. "That sounds right, from what I remember. I spent a lot of time with Padme and Bail. It took me years to truly appreciate what they'd down and how much hard work it was, but when you're sixteen it's all very boring. Of course, when you become a rebel in my position, people watching suddenly becomes even more important."

All those missions with Anakin and Obi-wan where they'd been in cover had been very educational, too.

"Bail Organa?"

Unfortunately, Padmé's prominence was one she'd only just learned of. Perhaps it was common knowledge at one time, but there were many aspects of the Old Republic that the Emperor worked hard to suppress. Those who recalled it didn't speak of it, especially not beyond the boundaries of her homeworld, where she was regarded as something of a martyr. A local hero slain by the revolting Jedi — not that Gaeriel was aware of that. Bakura's isolated location meant that many things the Empire kept out of school curriculums were left out anyway.

"Yes, Bail. He was a good friend of mine. When the Rebellion started, he recruited me early on." It made sense that so many things would be hidden or erased. Palpatine had spent decades working on his plan, thinking that he wouldn't have access to records and control of the media would be foolish. Still, part of Ahsoka had hoped...

"I tried to disappear. It didn't really work out. Even when I thought I'd found a place to settle for awhile, the Empire would show up for unrelated reasons and hurt the people that were becoming my friends. I was a child soldier, I guess fighting is in my blood."

Kaylee Frye and OTA (multiples ok)

2017-05-20 10:54 pm UTC (link)

Kaylee was just about finishing her first week on the Enterprise and she had to say, it was a pretty amazing place. She had joined the Engineering department and was excited to learn everything she could about this ship that was so much more advanced than anything she was used to. While she missed the crew members that weren't with them, she was glad to have Book and River and Simon. Well. Simon was being awkward, though that wasn't really new.

The bar on board was incredible. It made her wish Serenity had a bar, even though there wasn't really a place to put one. Kaylee ordered a beer and sat at one of the tables that looked out into space. The fantastic views were just one more great thing about this ship.

	Liz took a seat next to Kaylee and let out a huff. She was nursing her own beer and looked as if she was finding a hard time finding a seat. "Place is getting crowded." She turned to Kaylee and quickly apologized, "Not that that's a bad thing-- Hello, newbie. I'm Liz." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kaylee Frye and Liz shinyoptimist 2017-05-21 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Kaylee," she replied, reaching out her hand to shake. She didn't mind the company and she looked forward to getting to know someone new. "You been here a long time?" She'd learned that travelers had started coming as early as nearly four months ago. That was a long time to be away from home and families. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kaylee Frye and Liz pyrokinetic 2017-05-21 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Liz shook her hand and let it snake back under the table to her own knee. She sipped from her beer glass like it was water, long desperate drinks. "Awhile. Few months. I noticed a lot of people coming are used to the space thing. I'm from Earth." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kaylee Frye and Liz shinyoptimist 2017-05-22 12:09 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, yeah, seems a lot of people are also from Earth though," Kaylee said. "People don't live on Earth anymore in my time. I'm kinda excited that we're gonna get to see it though." Nobody she knew remembered Earth from any sort of personal experience. The only thing they had left was pictures in books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Harley and OTA (multiples okay!)

ex_vexing791
2017-05-21 01:47 am UTC (link)

Harley took the floor with a beer in hand. She danced around the people, bouncing her head to the beat only she could hear. Her mind was racing. "Choo choo choo," she said as she dodged people, stopping to grind on the random person. She'd surely get hit with a sexual harassment suit before the night was through.

She stood back to back with someone, and danced against them. She leaned on them, rubbed her bottom on theirs. "We're butt-dancin', butt dancin'!"

	Harley and Kitty shadowcat 2017-05-21 02:11 am UTC (link)
	The lounge had a spectacular view, and Kitty was content to get a drink and watch it. For all that she complained about space, she still liked it. Just not when she was busy saving the world or something. Someone bumped into her and she turned to look at them before laughing. "Okay, sure, why not?" She hadn't done this kind of dancing in years! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harley and Kitty ex_vexing791 2017-05-21 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Harley swayed with the other woman, happy she'd run into her. "Exactly, why not!" She danced around until she was in front of Kitty and put one hand on the other woman's hip. "Come here often, beautiful?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harley and Kitty shadowcat 2017-05-21 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"Actually not that often," Kitty replied, the flush on her face almost certainly only from the sudden exertion. But she didn't push Harley away and started to move with her to whatever music the crazy-haired woman was imagining. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harley and Kitty ex_vexing791 2017-05-21 03:12 am UTC (link)
	Harley put one finger up and put her beer down on a passer-by's tray. Then she reached out for Kitty's hands and pulled them into the air, swaying to the silence, or perhaps the din of the crowd. "You're new, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harley and Kitty shadowcat 2017-05-21 03:17 am UTC (link)
	"Been here all of a week." Kitty swayed her hands, then rolled her hips and spun around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lily Potter and OTA lilyevanspotter 2017-05-21 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Lily had a ginger ale and was trying to make it through the crowded bar to a seat. Before she could make it, she tripped over someone's foot and spilled the fizzy drink on someone's shoes. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that, just let me..." She pulled her wand out and pointed them at the shoes, whispering something that made them dry up quickly. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Lily Potter and Anakin Solo

"No worries at all," Anakin turned his attention to the young woman who had just doused his shoes in a drink and managed to clean it up expertly with a... stick? Well that was new. She looked a bit younger than he was, but she had a friendly enough face, and if at least part of being here was meeting new people then this was certainly an opportunity.

"I'm Anakin Solo," he held out his hand. "And I'm suddenly very curious what you just did with that stick. I've never had someone clean up a spill by waving something at it."

	Lily Potter and Anakin Solo lilyevanspotter 2017-05-21 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm Lily," she said brightly, shaking his hand. "It's magic. I used a spell on it. I'm so glad we don't have to hide it here. But your shoes should be try, and I'm still very sorry." She sipped from the can of ginger ale. "And there's still some left!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Anakin grinned and motioned at the table nearest them. "I know some people would consider what I can do magic, but I've never seen anyone use the Force quite like that so I'm thinking it must be slightly different."

He reached for his own drink, an alcoholic ale that he hadn't ever tried before. Then again, that was most things on this planet and on this ship it seemed. It wasn't completely unfamiliar, but it was certainly different enough. "Do you always use a wand with your magic?"

	Lily Potter and Anakin Solo lilyevanspotter 2017-05-21 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	"The Force?" Lily wondered aloud. She put the can of ginger ale onto the table and took a seat. She held her wand between her hands, wondering if she could have fought off Voldemort and saved herself from her death. "Oh, there's little things I can do without it. But only really skilled wizards and witches can do stuff without it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It's a... energy field," Anakin considered the best way to describe it to someone who was coming into it completely new. "A Jedi can feel it, and manipulate it, it really is what gives the Jedi their power. Some people at home consider Jedi to be wizards, but it's really just an ability to tap into the Force and understand it in a way that most people can't consciously do. If that makes sense."
