001 ☄ [Video; Action for Traverse]

[tippedthescales]

[Padmé has listened to every word the moogles have told her, and it's long after they've left that she finally turns to the oddly-shaped communicator. She's wounded, but she turned down the creatures' offers of help. Whatever pain these wounds might cause her hasn't registered to her; a very large part of her is numb.

She knows the dangers of making a public call for help; if the bounty hunter that's after her made it here as well, she's little more than a sitting target for him without Anakin. But if she doesn't do something, her fears will never be put to rest--or confirmed.

So when she turns on the communicator, she's wearing a grim expression.]

I am Padmé Amidala, a Senator representing the thirty-sixth regional state space of the Galactic Senate. The planet I was on-- [she pauses for hardly a beat, but she can't bring herself to say its name;] --met with misfortune. Though it seems this isn't uncommon, it's imperative that I'm contacted by any Jedi that might have survived.

[She won't name Anakin by name; she can't even attempt it.]

If there are any others that can hear me... Please, tell me what I can do to return that world, and any others in the galaxy. I'd do anything to help them.

Senator.

I regret to inform you that it is not possible to return to our galaxy currently. I am however, relieved to see you alive and well.

Master Qui-Gon Jinn? Is it truly you, or some trick of these worlds?

[She's a lot different than she was when she was a queen. A lot has happened since then.]

[video]

[quigonjinn]

Yes, you have named me truly. These worlds though do seem to operate under different rules than those that we are used to I've noticed.

[Which may very well account for the reason you look older and are now a Senator instead of the Queen you were when he was forced here.]

[After the whole affair with the nightmares, Golbez hasn't spent much time wandering around Traverse Town- he's been dealing with his own personal aftermath, but he's also well aware that it likely raised a good deal of suspicion about him.

He didn't expect to come across a new arrival, and he would have left, had he not seen the injuries.]

You should have those injuries seen to.

[Action]

[tippedthescales]

[She looks somewhat uneasy about his approach, but when he mentions her injuries she seems almost surprised. She has yet to feel them.]

They'll heal in time. There are more pressing matters to attend to.

[Action]

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

They will heal better if they are seen to. There is little you can do now, other than contacting those who you may know, as a recent arrival.

I think there are some of those jedi people here.

[tippedthescales]

Those Jedi people?

[She can't really fathom someone not knowing about them, or referring to them so disrespectfully.]

They're the ones responsible for keeping the worlds at peace for so long. You'd do well to mind your manners when speaking to them.

[Video] <333!

[His first instinct is to retort, and he does.]

Well then lately they've done a pretty sucky job! Our worlds are gone. Why should I care about some concept I don't even know much about?

[video]

[abreakingwave.livejournal.com]

M'lady.

I am sorry to have to tell you this, but... the entire galaxy is gone, not just one planet.

[video]

[tippedthescales]

[Even after speaking to Qui-Gon this is still a surprise. It feels like he's stepped straight out of her memories and there's no way that this can be real. At least he does look better without that beard of his.]

Obi-Wan... So many worlds couldn't have simply vanished overnight.

[That was... impossible.]

I was all the way out in Tatooine. Perhaps there's hope still for Coruscant. When the Senate and the Jedi Masters find out what's happened, they'll send help for us. I'm certain the Chancellor will see this wrong righted.

I... have felt the loss myself, through the Force. As much as I wish it were not so, our home has been lost to the Darkness. --But there's still hope. I've been told these lost worlds can be restored; they are not destroyed.

[video]

[abracadabrapon.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid, senator, that you are no longer on your world.

[Jedi, huh...]

[video]

[tippedthescales]

I've come to realize as much, unfortunately. I'm more concerned about what happened to those who haven't appeared here as well, and those who might be lurking within these worlds.

[A Jedi?! Well, if she's met some of the other people she's met here, she can indeed be meeting someone connecting to the Jedi.]

I'm Mizuno Ami. I arrived here a few weeks ago myself; I'll try to help you as much as I can.

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

[Kindness like that throws her off guard for a moment, but then she nods.]

It's a pleasure; I thank you for your assistance. I've been told that people can still arrive on these worlds, but... How often does something like that happen? There's someone I need to find; I'd do anything to save him.

[Video]

[epicdrawings.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, woman, your world will be recovered!

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

Ah-- [At first she's surprised, but then she smiles.] Thank you. I hope you're right about that.

[halfmadcopy.livejournal.com]

I am no Jedi, but I have learned their ways.

As far as getting back to those worlds, I'd very much like an answer to that question. They skirt around the issue here.

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

You're trained as a Jedi and yet you're not one?

[This is suspicious to her, and she doesn't even try to hide that she believes as much.]

I have some experience with men who enjoy skirting issues. I will unravel this mystery.

[Video]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

You cannot return. Your world has been enveloped by darkness.

What is a Jedi?

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

[She can only give a tight, grave nod about that. She's gathered the world is gone by now, no matter how she might wish to not believe as much.

It's still strange to meet people who do not yet know of the Jedi, but she sees no reason not to answer.]

The Jedi are a group dedicated to preserving peace across our galaxy. They're talented, selfless individuals. I owe them a lot.

[no-souls-here.livejournal.com]

Senator, I'm afraid that no one has determined how to return to our own worlds as of yet.

It might be best to look after yourself first [Noticing the wounds] or you will be unable to tend to your people later.

Video

[tippedthescales]

That is disappointing news, but I am all right. I appreciate your concern.

[Really, it looks worse than it is.]

How long has this been happening?
