star_kingdom | 001 ☄ [Video; Action for Traverse]

[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.

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?

If you're certain.

[He's not going to push the matter further.]

For a few months now. Four to be precise. [The longer one spent here the easier it was to forget the duration]

Longer than I'd thought...

[She can't imagine being separated from the galaxy for so long, especially with everything that's going on.]

What's being done for the refugees in the meantime? Has anyone found out how to win back our worlds?

[And Ciel had been here the entire time. Something he didn't care to think about]

Actually-- this must have been going on longer than that since when the bulk of us arrived the infrastructure was already in place for new arrivals.

For the youth, classes are being provided on Destiny Island. Hotel rooms are temporarily available for new arrivals until they get on their feet. To answer your final question in one word..no.

Then maybe this happened in the past and they know what can be done. [She can only hope as much.] I can't imagine settling into a life here while those I care for are trapped elsewhere.

If they did, I don't believe we'd have been brought here. [No one seems to know how to completely eradicate the heartless] It is trying.. but they might also show up here.

I'm afraid a whole galaxy would have trouble fitting onto these worlds, but... if even a few could appear, it would be nice. Do you know what they expect us to do for work here?

I wouldn't know if it were possible or not neither knowing the extent of the worlds here nor your galaxy.

You could ask King Mickey for a position or like a few other entrepreneurs you could go into business for yourself. I imagine the school might need more teachers, etc. There are any number of positions available.

[She nods.] This is the second time I've heard of the king. I'd very much like to speak to him and do what I can for these people.

if you can get a hold of him, he's rather approachable.

I suggest using your communicator and filtering it directly to him.

I'll follow your advise. Thank you.
