eachdraidh | [Video] First Rebellion

[Pissed would be an understatement for what it is that Leia Organa currently feels. But, a lifetime of training and lack of visible irritants leaves her at least looking calm. She's been here long enough to have watched the goings-on through the strange little lockets and her quiet observations to get a feel for the place, mostly. And she feels confident enough to address the other residents of the strange world.]

I would like to thank our hosts for the lovely accommodations and food. Also, the change of clothes left in the closet of my new room fit perfectly.

[If sarcasm was an Olympic sport, Leia would win gold every time.]

However, the minor detail of being taken against my will to fight in a war I understand nothing about against others in a similar situation as myself hardly sits well with me. And from what I can tell from my observations, many others feel the same way. Sitting here and berating the rulers of both courts seems like a true waste of time, and so does demanding that I be returned to my own world, despite what important things I am needed for.

If you think that I will just lay down and accept this as a permanent situation, you are sadly mistaken. I won't fight for your cause because you think I must. I will fight against this form of...slavery with every drop of blood in my body.

To those like-minded, know that I will ally with you, no matter what "court" you happen to be a member of at present.

I've been told that talk like that gets people into trouble.

It would hardly be the first time I've faced trouble for stirring up the status quo.

I just got here, so what do I know? But hey, it's your funeral. Let me know how it goes.

[That is to say: he likes the way you think, lady, and wants to subscribe to your newsletter... just not with everyone watching.]

I have only just arrived, but I refuse to allow that to stop me in my goal of returning home. I have left far too much undone to be caught up in the stupidity persisting around here.

If the direct approach to bucking the system and finding a way home doesn't work out for you, let me know if you want to try a more indirect method. My services are cheap, since I want out of this fucking place, too. Name's Lusiphur.

Why limit myself to merely one way? It is more effective to do both at the same time. Successful rebellions are hardly won by those who think so linearly.

And it is nice to speak with you, Lusiphur. I am Leia Organa.

The linear way has always worked for me [no, it hasn't], but I've never tried to lead any rebellions. Let's get one thing straight. I won't help you because I believe in any "cause" or whatever. I'm only in it if it'll get me back to Amrahly'nn and out of this war.

If you still think it's nice to speak with me, we should talk in person. I hear there's a Station somewhere, but I'm not sure how private anywhere is in this place.

I have some experience in leading a rebellion back home, though I am hardly the only one. And my only "cause" here is to get myself and anyone else interested back to our own worlds. I don't want to overthrow anyone or to fight at all. I just want to—

~~[Rescue her boyfriend and kiss his face off.]~~

—return to my own affairs.

I've heard of the Station as well. It seems the most ideal for any conversations that are of questionable nature.

That's all I've even wanted. To be left to my own affairs. It seems we might be on the same pages after all.

I'm not making plans yet to travel to the Station, but keep in touch if you're planning on being near there yourself. I'll do anything to get out of fighting someone else's war.

I think we will both be surprised to know how many people actually are on the same page as you and I are. I doubt any are...foolhardy enough to follow my example, however.

I will contact you should I be near there. Again, it was nice to meet a like-minded person, no matter where or how.

All you really need are a couple of fools willing to go along with a plan. So long as it's a good plan.

We'll talk later. For now, knowing that there are like minds is enough.
