Chapter Text
Rey has started a chat room
Rey invited Rebel Gals
Rey: Kaydel made Dino Nuggets again, didn’t she?
Kaydel: no
Rey: Then explain why you and Zorii and Jannah are running around singing meme songs.
Jannah: DONT TELL YOUR MOTHER
Zorii: KISS ONE ANOTHER
Jannah: DIE FOR EACH OTHER
Zorii: 😶
Rose: I heard Dino Nuggies.
Rose: Hand em over Kaydel.
Kaydel: NO
Kaydel: LEAVE MY PRECIOUS NUGGIES ALONE
Nimi: ROSE PUT THE BROOMSTICK DOWN
Rey: Oh hi Nimi. You’re just in time to watch something blow up.
Nimi: WHAT??????
Rey: Kaydel made Dino Nuggets.
Nimi: oh no my one weakness
Rey: if I have to tell everyone that you guys blew something up AGAIN, y’all are dead.
Jyn: Hi I heard screaming?
Zorii: EXCUSE ME WE’RE SINGING
Jannah: LET’S DO THE FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Zorii: LET’S DO THE FORK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Jyn: where do we keep the earplugs?
Nimi: Padmé’s room.
Asajj: Why tf are you guys all texting if we’re in the same room?
Padmé: Language!
Jyn: Padmé don’t text while you’re at work.
Rey: ASAJJ HELP ME KAYDEL MADE DINO NUGGETS
Asajj: Not my problem.
Asajj: And they’re just chicken nuggets.
Rey: NO THEY’RE NOT!!!!! I SWEAR SHE FILLS THEM WITH CRACK OR SOMETHING!!!!
Asajj: Rey, I don’t even think we have crack here.
Jannah: AND IIIIIIIIII
Zorii: WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUU
Asajj: On second thought-
Jyn: Ok well they didn’t steal from my stash.
Rey:
Asajj:
Nimi: guys I’m sorry I’m gonna eat a Dino nuggie those things are heaven in a butt.
Nimi: BITE
Nimi: I MEANT BITE
Jyn: Sure...we all know that’s what you meant 😏
Zorii: POKÉMON
Jannah: GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
Padmé: Some days I wonder why I come home from work.
Jyn: So you can make out with Anakin.
Padmé: I-
Padmé: Anakin and I are just friends. Any ‘relationship’ you think we have is just friendship.
Rey: I might have some evidence... 😏
Padmé: And I may have some evidence about YOUR secret.
Rey: I seem to have lost my evidence.
Jyn: Padmé’s getting involved in dirty politics now.
Evaan: WHAT HAVE I WALKED INTO!?!?!?!?
Evaan: WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO EXPLAIN WHY JANNAH AND ZORII ARE RUNNING AROUND SINGING MEME SONGS AND JYN HAS A STASH OF DRUGS AND PADMÉ AND REY HAVE DIRTY SECRETS AND KAYDEL MAKES CRACK NUGGETS AND ASAJJ- you know what Asajj isn’t really doing anything bad.
Evaan: Which is a first.
Rey: Zorii, don’t jump off the table-
Zorii: I’M GAY
Asajj: We know.
Chapter 2: I don’t even know how to name this mess
Notes:
Guess I’m continuing this...not sure for how long, but enjoy the craziness 😂

Padmé has started a chat room
Padmé invited Rebel Gals
Padmé: Ughhhhh I don’t want to come homeeeeeee
Rey: You sure? Kaydel saved you some crack nuggets.
Kaydel: *Crack Nuggies.
Jyn: And we locked Zorii and Jannah in the basement!
Asajj: LET ME OUT OF HERE OR YOU’RE ALL DEAD!!!!
Jyn: With Asajj!
Padmé: WHAT THE FORCE HAPPENED
Jyn: And Rey and Nimi tried to stop us!
Nimi: I’m going to kill you Jyn.
Jyn: So we found force-blocking handcuffs!
Rey: Jyn I can’t feel my fingers.
Padmé: WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU TWO OK
Nimi: They handcuffed us and tied us to a pole.
Padmé: WHO IS ‘THEY’?
Asajj: Jyn, Evaan, Kaydel, and Rose.
Rose: Not me, I’m hiding in Ahsoka’s room.
Jyn: WE GONNA BUST DOWN THE DOOR
Evaan: I’m only going along with Jyn so she doesn’t lock me in a closet or something.
Padmé: WHY IS JYN LOCKING PEOPLE IN CLOSETS
Kaydel: I think she found Zorii’s secret stash of glitterstim.
Kaydel: Though she hasn’t locked anyone in a closet yet.
Jyn: Thanks for the idea tho!
Padmé: WHY DOES ZORII HAVE A SECRET STASH OF GLITTERSTIM!?!?!?
Zorii: IF YOU TOUCH MY GLITTERSTIM, YOU’RE DEAD
Rey: And now Jyn’s chasing Evaan around with a rope, trying to tie her up and lock her in a closet.
Padmé: You are adults. Why is it that I can’t leave you alone for a few hours to go to work?
Nimi: We tried.
Padmé: What about the guys???
Rey: They’re hanging out in the guys’ compound.
Evaan: NONONONONO LET GO OF ME
Evaan: PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE
Evaan: JYN I’M SCARED OF THE DARK
Padmé: WHAT WAS THAT?
Asajj: I can’t see because I’m locked in the basement with Zorii and Jannah, but I’m pretty sure that was the sound of Evaan Verlaine being locked in a closet.
Rey: Why do we have a closet in our compound if no one here owns a coat?
Jyn: SO I CAN LOCK EVAAN IN IT!
Padmé: NO!
Padmé: I’m coming home to save you guys.
Jyn: AND I WILL LOCK YOU IN THE CLOSET AS WELL!
Rey: Padmé stay away and wait till she cools down to come rescue us.
Padmé: Don’t worry Fennec lent me some supplies.
Evaan: GIYS I CSNT SEE ANUTHIMG SO IF I MWSS UP SPELLUMGS OF STJFF ITS JYNS FAYLT
Rose: HELP US PADMÉ AMIDALA
Rose: YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE
Rose: AND ALSO JYN’S TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR TO AHSOKA’S ROOM
Padmé: *sighs* *grabs various borrowed weapons* aw kriff here we go again
Chapter 3: Padmé To The Rescue
Notes:
There’s no real set posting schedule for this, I’ll probably just update this as I write the chapters. Also, if there’s any characters you particularly want to see, please let me know and I’ll try to add them (I haven’t seen a few of the shows, like Resistance) into the story.
Chapter Text
Padmé: Your savior has arrived!
Padmé: Also you all owe me 10 credits, I had to pay Fennec to get my hands on these.
Nimi: Rey wants to know what you brought.
Padmé: ...c-can’t she just ask me herself?
Nimi: She said she’s lost all feeling in her hands and most of her arms because of Jyn’s handcuffs.
Asajj: SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF THE BASEMENT RIGHT NOW
Padmé: Guys calm down I can only save one person at a time while also avoiding Jyn.
Jyn: I WILL FIND YOU AFTER I GET ROSE
Padmé: Alright, Evaan’s first.
Evaan: Thsnk you!
Rose: GUYS SHE’S TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR
Padmé: WITH WHAT
Rose: I DON’T KNOW BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE MORAI’S BIRDCAGE
Padmé: JYN ERSO, AHSOKA IS GOING TO MURDER YOU
Nimi: WAIT IS THE BIRD IN THE CAGE
Padmé: I’ll go find out after I unlock the closet door.
Evaan: THANK YOU PADMÉ
Evaan: Wait is that a knife that also has a flashlight concealed in it AND a lock pick!?!
Padmé: Like I said, you all owe me 10 credits.
Padmé: And it’s got some other stuff too, hopefully we won’t need it tho
Padmé: Alright, who’s next?
Asajj: LET ME OUT OF THE BASEMENT
Padmé: Ok that’s easy enough-
Padmé: GUYS WHAT’S JYN’S LOCK COMBINATION?
Jannah: Why did u type that and scream it?
Padmé: BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT, OK?
Nimi: Try 2-0-1-6
Padmé: Oh yay it worked!
Padmé: Wait how did you know that-?
Nimi: ....we’re not gonna talk about that.
Asajj: THANK YOUUUUUUU I WAS DYING DOWN THERE
Padmé: please stop hugging me i cannot breathe
Zorii: FREEDOM!!!!!!
Evaan: Oh no
Evaan: The only reason we locked Zorii and Jannah down there was because they were super hyper
Jannah: Yea we’re good now, don’t worry.
Kaydel: Oh good does this mean I’m not in trouble anymore?
Nimi: You started this. You’re still in huge trouble.
Padmé: Kaydel where even are you?
Kaydel: Umm... I’m busy.
Rose: GUYS SHE’S ALMOST IN
Rose: HELP
Padmé: JYN ERSO, YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE YOUNG LADY
Jyn: SHUT UP YOU’RE NOT MY MOM
Padmé: NO BUT I’M THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE ADULT IN THIS ROOM WHO’S NOT TIED TO A POLE
Rose: HELP MEEEEEEEE
Padmé: WE’RE COMING
Padmé: Ok who here knows how to work an electro-prod thingy, and can you give me a crash course?
Rose: you just point it and shoot it, why?
Padmé: JYN LEAVE HER ALONE OR ELSE
Jyn: OR ELSE WHAT
Padmé: I HAVE WEAPONS
Padmé: SURRENDER OR BE CRUSHED
Jyn: NEVERRRRRR
Nimi: What’s going on up there?
Rose: They’re fighting. With pillows.
Nimi: What about the electro-prod thing?
Rose: Ooh, I found it!
Rose: Should I use it?
Evaan: YES
Asajj: OF COURSE
Padmé: Guys, I got this.
Rose: Welp nevermind. She used Jyn’s handcuffs against her.
Padmé: Why am I the one who always has to deal with this?
Nimi: Ok but can u untie us now?
Padmé: Oh yea of course
Rose: Hey, where’s Kaydel?
Kaydel: Lol u idiots I’ve been videoing this the entire time
Chapter Text
Anakin has started a chat room
Anakin invited Everyone
Quinlan: Hey everyone.
Evaan: Hai 👋
Luke: What happened earlier today?
Rey: ...you don’t wanna know
Jyn: IT WAS GREAT!
Padmé: No it wasn’t. Everyone in the girls compound owes me 10 credits now.
Ben: I would like to question that, but I’m not sure if I want to know the answer.
Fennec: Padmé you have three days to pay up by the way
Padmé: Alright.
Padmé: EVERYONE IN THE GIRLS COMPOUND BETTER PAY ME 10 CREDITS OR I’M NOT RESCUING YOU NEXT TIME
Rey: Basically, Kaydel made chicky nuggies, Zorii and Jannah were hyper, we locked them in the basement with Asajj, we think Jyn stole someone’s glitterstim, Jyn tied Nimi and I to a pole, then locked Evaan in a closet and tried to break into Ahsoka’s room (where Rose was hiding) and Padmé had to pay Fennec to borrow some weapons which she used to save everyone, and now we all owe Padmé 10 credits each.
Anakin: ...what even happens in the girls compound?
Anakin: Is this normal?
Padmé: Unfortunately yes.
Poe: Wait what about Kaydel?
Kaydel: I was videoing the whole thing!
Ahsoka: WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MORAI’S BIRDCAGE IS ON THE FLOOR?!?!?
Jyn: no
Rose: Jyn was using it to break down the bathroom door.
Ahsoka: Jyn?
Jyn: Yes?
Ahsoka: YOU. ARE. DEAD.
Kaydel: Can I pay up tomorrow, I’m a little busy right now
Padmé: Sure.
Jannah: What? Why does she get extra time?!
Asajj: She’s working on her quarantine log.
Jannah: oh
Luke: Quarantine log?
Asajj: She’s keeping track of our time in the compound. Like, until we’re allowed to join the ‘normal’ world.
Luke: Oh.
Kaydel: It’s basically a bunch of audio recordings, which is why I need all of you to be QUIET
Kaydel: Or at least everyone in the girls compound.
Din: You guys can come over here, we figured out how to disable all of the security cameras now.
Evaan: Oh cool!
Fennec: 🙄 I could’ve just blasted them.
Han: Shut up Shand you know I can shoot better than you.
Fennec: Is that a challenge? You’re going down!
Nimi: NO MORE FIGHTING
Nimi: AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW
Nimi: FENNEC, PUT THE BLASTER DOWN
Ahsoka: Oh force. I’m glad I wasn’t here today.
Rey: Oh yea where were you?
Ahsoka: I can leave the compounds now!
Rey: Really? That’s amazing!
Ahsoka: I still have to live here obviously, but I can go with Padmé now 😁
Rose: Oh wow...lucky...
Obi-Wan: I might be able to leave soon.
Anakin: Of course you will 🙄
Ben: Not this again...
Jannah: ???
Ben: They’ve been arguing about who’s gonna get to leave the compound first ALL DAY
Ezra: Ngl, it’ll probably be Din.
Ezra: He’s one of the only people in the guys’ compound who can’t use the Force.
Fennec: Depends if whoever runs this planet knows he’s a wanted criminal or not.
Din: Says you!
Fennec: I’m not saying I’m not a wanted criminal. My criminal record’s way worse than yours.
Zorii: Mine’s worse than both of yours, I was wanted by the New Republic AND the First Order.
Fennec: Child.
Fennec: I was wanted by the New Republic, the Empire, the First Order, and the Resistance. And also the Bounty Hunters’ Guild.
Luke: Are they...comparing criminal records? Competitively?
Ahsoka: I was wanted by the Jedi Order and the Empire!
Zorii: eh
Din: Not as impressive.
Padmé: I don’t really condone with this...
Padmé: But about half the galaxy was trying to murder me.
Han: I was wanted by Jabba the Hutt and the Crimson Dawn.
Poe: I’m wanted because I blew up Starkiller Base.
Ben: Still not cool.
Poe: It was pretty cool.
Ben: So murdering millions of people is cool?
Poe:
Ezra: I mean I was wanted by the Empire...
Fennec: I am still superior to you all.
Notes:
The quarantine log will be explained more next chapter, my brain wouldn’t let me write something plotless, so this happened...

QUARANTINE MADE MY BRAIN DO THIS I’M SORRY
Chapter Text
Kaydel has started a chat room
Kaydel: This is Kaydel Ko Connix. This is day number... actually, I can’t remember how many days it’s been since we were all transported to this planet ‘Earth’.
Kaydel: I don’t even know where on Earth we are. Rose thinks it’s a huge city like Canto Bight because of the size of our compounds, and she thinks the people are watching us through the many security cameras. Fennec thinks it’s more practical- an old military base split in half, one half for the guys and the other for the girls. She thinks they’re just keeping us here because they don’t understand where we came from or how some of us can harness the Force.
Kaydel: I honestly don’t know what to think. I just want this whole quarantine in the compounds to be over.
Kaydel: Though I will admit it isn’t TOO bad. The food’s...interesting. It’s pretty much the same amount that we got in the Resistance, but I’ve never seen half of this stuff before. Asajj and I both like this thing called Mac and cheese. I think it tastes like heaven, though Evaan can’t stand it.
Kaydel: Right now, everyone’s at the guys compound (Din found a way to temporarily turn off the security cameras so the girls could come over). I think they’re all trying to guess who’ll be able to leave the compound next.
Kaydel: Oh! Which reminds me: Ahsoka can leave the compound now! She got her pass today, and she’s going to be assigned a job of sorts tomorrow.
Kaydel: So far, Padmé’s the only one who’s allowed to leave the compound (Fennec and Anakin have been trying to find a way to sneak out, but they haven’t managed to yet) and she has a job working in a government building. It’s not like her old job as a Senator, but she’s just happy to be working in a government building, and she can’t stop talking about the way Earth’s government works. I don’t understand any of what she says, but if it makes her happy then I’m happy.
Kaydel: Ahsoka asked us all to look after Morai when she’s at work if they don’t let her take her along to the job.
Kaydel: I hope I get chosen next, because I’m going insane just stuck in here. It’s fun, but there’s nothing to do. Fennec’s theory about it being a military base is probably correct, because everything here is practical. There’s nothing fun.
Kaydel: I mean, we still have fun- today was...interesting, to say the least. But I’m so used to having something important to do for the Resistance that all this time we’re spending in quarantine feels without purpose or something like that.
Kaydel: Tomorrow we’re cleaning the compound, though. We clean both compounds every seven Earth days- Padmé says that seven days is a week on Earth. It’s weird, because on Batuu, a week was six days. It always takes some adjusting when you travel between planets. Anyway, tomorrow we’re cleaning both compounds from top to bottom. We don’t really need to, we keep them really neat, but it just gives us something to do.
Kaydel: I keep trying to figure out how they’re choosing us. At first I thought it was non Force-sensitives first, so people could understand the Force first before meeting Force-sensitives, but Ahsoka can use the force. So now none of us understand how they’re choosing who gets to leave the compound and when.
Kaydel: I just want to go home.
Kaydel HAS SAVED CHAT

Din has started a chat room
Din invited Everyone
Din: So who do you guys think will get to leave next?
Poe: Din we’re all in the same room.
Din: I KNOW OK BUT THE SECURITY CAMERAS
Din: THEY’RE JUST CREEPY
Quinlan: They are. I mean, are people watching us sleep?
Rey: 😳 oh force
Anakin: They better not be-
Evaan: Why? Cause you and PADMÉ?
Anakin: Shut up Evaan.
Fennec: He’s purposefully avoiding the question.
Anakin: SHUT UP FENNEC
Fennec: Hey, don’t yell at me, I’m just sitting in the corner, polishing my blaster.
Fennec: And waiting for your girlfriend to pay up.
Padmé: ANAKIN AND I ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP
Luke: ⬆️ This statement is disputed by both compounds.
Padmé: LET ME REMIND YOU THAT I AM IN POSSESSION OF A BLASTER
Luke: I have a lightsaber
Fennec: I have a superior blaster.
Maul: My lightsaber has more blades than yours.
Ben: My lightsaber has more blades than yours .
Maul: Those don’t count as blades.
Ben: Your legs were cut off by a teenager, it obviously doesn’t matter if your lightsaber’s better, seeing as your fighting skills suck.
Evaan: I...I’m just gonna join Fennec in the corner.
Cassian: That might be the smarter decision.
Fennec: *glares* LEAVE MY CORNER IMMEDIATELY
Evaan: WAIT NO I’M TOO YOUNG TO DIE
Cassian: Fennec, the force-sensitives are fighting again.
Fennec: ...you know what, there’s a little room left for you guys.
Jyn: I’d join you but this is entertaining.
Ahsoka: Well at least we know who’s gonna be allowed to leave next.
Rey: Wait, we do? Who?
Ahsoka: Fennec, Cassian, and Evaan, for not fighting.
Zorii: Hmm...I want to leave the compound, but I also want to see who wins.
Asajj: Neither of them.
Zorii: How do you know?
Asajj: Because if they don’t quit arguing, I’m throwing someone out the window.
Han: There aren’t even windows down here.
Asajj: I’LL MAKE ONE
Han: WE’RE UNDERGROUND
Asajj: I’LL GO UPSTAIRS
Nimi: Guess we know who’s getting thrown out the window.

Padmé has started a chat room
Padmé invited Everyone
Padmé: Wake up you guys! We’re cleaning the compound today!
Ahsoka: Ughhhh Padmé I don’t even think the sun’s up yet
Padmé: The sun has been up for a while, now get up or I’m dragging you!
Ben: Anakin your girlfriend’s creepy.
Anakin: Your girlfriend’s creepy.
Ben: I don’t have a girlfriend.
Asajj: Yes you do bc I saw you two ForceTiming last night but you didn’t hear that from me.
Jyn: ForceTime?
Din: WHY AM I WAKING UP TO THE SOUND OF A LIGHTSABER IGNITING
Din: THIS IS THE REASON WE’RE ALL LOCKED IN THIS COMPOUND- Y’ALL ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MURDER EACH OTHER
Quinlan: You slept through Padmé yelling at everyone to wake up?
Quinlan: I want whatever Din has.
Armitage: Guys?
Rose: Yes?
Armitage: I miss my cat.
Rose: Omigod Millicent!
Kaydel: Hux has a cat?
Jannah: Wait who has a cat?
Rey: *cries* I miss Millie so much.
Rose: Wait how do you know about the cat?
Rey: Uhh....no reason.
Rey: Armitage told me yesterday.
Rose: sure...
Armitage: Guys do you think someone will remember to feed my cat?
Rey: Phasma probably will.
Kaydel: Wait a minute, PHASMA?
Jannah: I thought she died.
Rey: So did I.
Ben: Honestly, so did I. But no, she lived. Again. Somehow.
Zorii: MAGIC
Padmé: IS ANYONE LISTENING? EVERYONE GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW, IT’S TIME TO CLEAN THE COMPOUNDS!
Han: Can- can we figure out whether or not Padmé and Anakin are in a secret relationship first?
Asajj: Easy- they’re in a relationship, it’s just not a secret, even though they think it is.
Han: Oh okay.
Han: What about Ben’s secret relationship?
Din: WHY IS EVERYONE IGNITING LIGHTSABERS ALL OF THE SUDDEN
Fennec: How would I know? I may grab my blaster just in case tho
Ben: I’m not in a secret relationship.
Asajj: Yes you are
Asajj: Tell your girlfriend to stop pointing a lightsaber at me
Jyn: QUICK GUYS, WHO’S IN ASAJJ’S ROOM?
Evaan: I mean Asajj probably is.
Rey: I’d hope so.
Ben: Wait, but what about Jyn’s secret relationship?
Jyn: What???
Fennec: Oh yea I forgot about that one.
Fennec: Forgot to put it on the list.
Jyn: What list?
Fennec: The list of secret relationships in the compounds.
Poe: Wait... you have a list of all of them?
Finn: Every? Single? One?
Fennec: I think so.
Evaan: ...uh oh
Maul: TO FENNEC’S ROOM
Fennec: NONONONO
Padmé: Oh force. This is going to destroy something.
Jyn: BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!!!!
Fennec: DON’T YOU DARE
Rey: oh force.
Anakin: please dont read the list
Fennec: I’M BURNING THE LIST
Padmé: I mean I usually would argue against burning something but YES BURN THE LIST FENNEC
Asajj: FENNEC NO
Cassian: FENNEC YES
Evaan: Why are you trying to break the door down with a potted plant???
Asajj: BECAUSE
Zorii: guys let me pick the lock instead of smashing that plant
Maul: I mean I guess that works.
Din: I don’t even want to see the list, I’m just here for the chaos.
Ben: FENNEC BURN THE LIST
Fennec: Relax I don’t wanna burn my list unless they actually get in here.
Luke: I actually want to see this list, seems interesting.
Ahsoka: Better than listening to Padmé and Anakin argue all day.
Armitage: I’m not so sure I want to read this list...
Jannah: If Zorii/Dino Nuggets is not on this list, it’s not an accurate one.
Kaydel: YOU’RE CHEATING ON ME WITH DINO NUGGETS!?!?!?
Zorii: IT WAS ONE TIME
Kaydel: HOW COULD YOU????
Rose: Is anyone else confused?
Han: Very.
Ezra: Oh wow Zorii where did you learn to pick locks like that?
Zorii: The secret ingredient is crime.
Fennec: OH FORCE THEY GOT THE DOOR OPEN
Cassian: FENNEC SHAND, BURN THE KRIFFING LIST
Fennec: I’M GONNA SHOOT IT
Rey: THEN STOP TEXTING AND SHOOT IT
Fennec: alright i did it
Fennec: Crisis averted.
Ezra: For now...
Chapter 8: Detective-ing
Chapter Text
Asajj: Just one pairing? Please?
Fennec: no
Luke: Kriff, now I really want to know who was on this list.
Rey: Haha same, right? Guess we’ll never know...
Anakin: Seems sus Rey
Rey: Says you!
Anakin: Fennec? Can you confirm anything?
Fennec: To preserve my health, I’m keeping my mouth shut.
Cassian: Smart.
Anakin: I don’t know, you guys... maybe Rey and Finn? Rey and Rose?
Rose: No, we’re just friends.
Jannah: I can confirm that.
Ezra: *is still trying to read Fennec’s mind*
Obi-Wan: It’s not gonna work.
Ezra: Yes it will
Obi-Wan: *facepalms* No it won’t.
Ezra: How do you know?
Obi-Wan: I-
Asajj: He’s been trying to for the last half hour. As have I. I don’t know why it’s not working.
Fennec: Look, you don’t think I’m going to learn how to protect my mind if I’m going to start a list of secret relationships in the compounds?
Asajj: WHO TAUGHT YOU
Fennec: I can’t say.
Asajj: IT WAS AHSOKA, WASN’T IT
Asajj: AND AHSOKA’S ON THE LIST TOO, ISN’T SHE?
Ahsoka: Why would I be on the list?
Asajj: Good point.
Evaan: I’m honestly starting to get quite curious about who’s on this list-
Fennec: I’M NOT TELLING ANYONE
Anakin: Hypothetically-
Maul: So obviously not hypothetically.
Anakin: If someone WAS on the list, would you tell them if you knew?
Fennec: hmm...yes.
Anakin: Ok goo-
Fennec: ANAKIN, YOUR SECRET RELATIONSHIP WITH PADMÉ IS ON MY LIST, JUST SO YOU KNOW
Ezra: I-
Obi-Wan: Exposed
Fennec: Anyone else?
Jyn: no that was enough fennec
Maul: that was honestly a little scary
Rey: I mean he had it coming.
Din: ENOUGH WITH THE IGNITING OF THE THE LIGHTSABERS
Chapter 9: Blackmail, Screeching, and Utter Chaos
Chapter Text
Fennec: I’m not giving away any more, so don’t even try.
Evaan: I’m done, I just needed to know if Anakin and Padmé were in a secret relationship.
Padmé: Okay, Fennec obviously got something wrong, because we’re not in a secret relationship-
Ezra: PADMÉ WE ALL KNOW THAT’S A LIE
Rey: No one believes that any more.
Padmé: I can still blackmail you.
Rey: Stop
Maul: Who’s blackmailing who?
Din: and I thought I’d finally gotten away from that kind of stuff
Obi-Wan: Padmé seems to be threatening to blackmail Rey.
Armitage: Here we go again...
Rose: I mean it’s better than watching Anakin and Fennec screeching at each other.
Ben: Anakin’s the only one screeching.
Anakin: NO I’M NOT
Ahsoka: the only thing you’re doing is proving us right, Skyguy.
Anakin: SHUT UP SNIPS
Ahsoka: Well, Anakin cries more than he screeches.
Anakin: I REPEAT: SHUT UP SNIPS
Cassian: I half want to see Fennec randomly yell about someone else’s secret relationship, but I’m afraid of what she’s gonna say.
Asajj: Why, are you on the list? 😏
Cassian: no I’m just afraid because it’s Fennec
Quinlan: Well that’s fair.
Fennec: FEAR ME MORTALS
Rose: YOU ARE MORTAL
Fennec: QUIET
Rey: I’m scared
Luke: I’m scareder
Padmé: That’s not even a word
Luke: Shut up you’re not my mom
Padmé: I-
Anakin: Um-
Ben: Well this should be interesting.
Rose: I am done with this Skywalker drama 🤦♀️
Han: but is fennec actually immortal
Ezra: *facepalms*
Padmé: I just want to say that I know one of the relationships on the list, so if you think you might be on there...don’t risk it 😏
Rey: Hmm...is it you and Anakin?
Padmé: you’re skating on very thin ice, punk
Nimi: Wait is she on the list?
Padmé: I’m just warning all of you now. I’m not implying anything.
Fennec: And you guys are scared of ME?
Cassian: I’m still scared. I mean, how did you find out about enough secret relationships to start a list?
Fennec: Well, a few of them told me?
Ben: Really?
Fennec: ok none of them told me then
Maul: Wait...Does this mean ur in a secret relationship?
Evaan: Well we know that Jyn, Ben, and Anakin and Padmé are in secret relationships. And we also know that Padmé and Anakin are in a secret relationship. Or at least they WERE in a secret relationship, now it’s just a relationship.
Luke: We also know that Fennec Shand is a creepy stalker who knows everyone’s secrets.
Evaan: Yes, that too.
Anakin: i don’t like Shand
Fennec: wow thanks
Anakin: She’s coarse and rough and irritating. And she has eyes everywhere!
Obi-Wan: We know 🙄
Luke: Remember when we woke up this morning and thought we were actually going to get something done for once?
Padmé: Well if anyone would like to join me in cleaning the compounds, feel free.
Rey: Hey, I’m helping!
Maul: Same!
Obi-Wan: I’ll help. I lost interest in the whole list fiasco when Anakin and Padmé’s relationship was confirmed

Padmé has started a chat room
Padmé invited Everyone
Padmé: Thank you to those of you who helped me clean up the compounds today.
Padmé: I have one more request for you today.
Han: ???
Padmé: OBI-WAN KENOBI AND ZORII BLISS, STOP TRYING TO BREAK INTO THE BATHROOM
Fennec: can someone please slip some food under the door or something
Zorii: I’M NOT LEAVING UNTIL SHE COMES OUT AND TELLS US ANOTHER PAIRING ON THE LIST
Obi-Wan: I just have to use the refresher.
Padmé: oh
Padmé: Well then you can use the one in the girls compound if you want.
Obi-Wan: Thank you.
Fennec: guys I’m really hungry can someone send food through the vents
Ben: I really don’t want her to reveal any more relationships, but guys, Fennec’s gonna starve if you keep doing this.
Rey: They’ve been there for three hours. They’re not moving anytime soon.
Fennec: Please send help.
Padmé: LOOK, IF I CONFIRM MY RELATIONSHIP WITH ANAKIN WILL YOU STOP TRYING TO CHASE DOWN FENNEC?
Zorii: I DEMAND ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP
Anakin: HEY PADMÉ WHY DON’T WE DISCUSS THIS WHOLE CONFIRMATION THING FIRST
Padmé: WHAT IF I GIVE YOU A SECOND RELATIONSHIP THEN?
Rey: PADMÉ DON’T YOU DARE
Padmé: IS TWO RELATIONSHIPS ENOUGH?
Evaan: I mean I just wanted to know about Anakin and Padmé.
Han: I don’t even know anymore.
Luke: This is kinda entertaining, but it’s also getting old. And I have to use the refresher.
Kaydel: Yea same lol
Zorii: ...I guess two would be enough.
Ezra: So the terms of the deal would be...Padmé tells the truth about her relationship with Anakin, and she also reveals a second secret relationship.
Rey: I don’t think I like this deal...
Anakin: hey can we talk for a moment about the first part of this deal
Padmé: This is my final offer. After that, we drop the topic of Fennec’s list for good.
Maul: Works for me. I’m not even a part of this.
Quinlan: Same here, I’m just watching from a distance. It’s quite entertaining. Reminds me of the Clone Wars.
Poe: The Clone Wars ended decades ago?
Quinlan: I’m not from your time, Flyboy.
Zorii: YASSSS POE I TOLD YOU I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE WHO CALLS YOU FLYBOY BEHIND YOUR BACK
Zorii: OR TO YOUR FACE
Quinlan: When I was transported to Earth, I was in the middle of the Clone Wars.
Poe: oh that makes sense then
Poe: I was leading the Resistance after we defeated the First Order.
Armitage: Even though we’re still alive xD
Padmé: So does everyone accept my deal?
Zorii: Sure
Fennec: YES. ANYTHING TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.
Din: Sure. I really don’t know what’s even going on here.
Anakin: I- I don’t really accept this deal-
Obi-Wan: Yea well no one cares Anakin.
Anakin: You’re just jealous cause you’re not the Chosen One!
Obi-Wan: I can deal with not being the Chosen One, I have the High Ground.
Ahsoka: Has anyone ever considered that the Chosen One could be a female?
Luke: Hey I thought I was the Chosen One?
Ben: None of you balanced the force. You just tipped it in the favor of the light or dark side.
Padmé: I’ll just take that as a yes from everyone.
Padmé: So...Anakin and I ARE in a relationship. We were planning on getting married in secret, but then the whole sudden travel to Earth interrupted things.
Asajj: Aww, forbidden love.
Obi-Wan: Wait...Anakin?
Anakin: she’s not lying
Obi-Wan: AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?
Anakin: I mean...we thought it was too dangerous, since, you know, Jedi can’t be in relationships and all that.
Obi-Wan: I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT A SECRET
Anakin: R-really?
Obi-Wan: ARE YOU KIDDING ME OF COURSE!
Anakin: wow.
Anakin: thank you.
Zorii: Hey Padmé, you gotta hold up the other half of your deal.
Padmé: Oh yeah! So Rey and Ben are in a relationship.
Padmé: And don’t forget to let Fennec out of the refresher.
Padmé has left the chat
Poe: ...
Kaydel: ...
Finn: rey?
Rey: yea?
Finn: why didn’t you tell us?
Rey: cause we were at war
Armitage: I mean I’d be surprised but I already knew.
Ben: Yea
Poe: So you guys are...in love?
Rey: Yea 💙
Ben: Mhmm ❤️
Poe: Wow this is a lot to take in.
Kaydel: a LOT
Rose: Not really. It only took me about...fifteen minutes? Ten minutes?
Poe: Wait, you knew?
Rose: oh
Rose: yea i kind of knew-
Fennec: As much as I want to see where this conversation goes, is it safe for me to leave the refresher?
Ezra: It is now, yeah.
Chapter 11: I Don’t Even Know How To Name Some Of These Chapters

I was going to wait a few days before posting this, but today’s news on the riots at the US capital sort of changed that. I just want to post something happy right now 😔 I hope you all enjoy this chapter 🖤

Ezra has started a chat room
Ezra invited Everyone
Ezra: I think we need to just look back on everything that happened today.
Din: If you’re bored, why don’t you just say so?
Ezra: Shut up or the next lightsaber that ignites is gonna be pointed at your face.
Asajj: OHHHHHH THE REBEL FINALLY GETS SOME GUTS
Han: If the Jedi fought as well as they threatened, they wouldn’t be extinct.
Quinlan: Wait a minute, EXTINCT???
Luke: is this going to create some sort of weird time loop or warp or disruption or something
Jyn: unless we’re stuck here for eternity
Luke: MOM, JYN’S BEING DEPRESSING AGAIN
Padmé: Jyn.
Jyn: Yes?
Padmé: What did I tell you about being a pessimist when it comes to us being stuck here?
Jyn: Keep up the good work?
Padmé: Exactly.
Din: So...if we are stuck here forever, we might as well talk about what we’ll do with our lives.
Padmé: I want to work in the government. Maybe we could contact the people still back on the planets we used to be on.
Jyn: or maybe they were transported along with us only we were separated and now they’re in a compound on the other side of this planet saying the exact same thing
Padmé: *sniffles* I’m so proud of her 🥲
Kaydel: I wanna open a diner that serves Dino Nuggets and Mac N Cheese.
Fennec: I want to do something with mechanics.
Din: Really? I didn’t know you knew about stuff like that!
Fennec: Din I am literally part robot.
Din: oh
Rey: I’ll go anywhere except for the desert. And I will work any job that doesn’t involve fighting.
Luke: Hey Kaydel, can I work at your restaurant? I can make blue milk!
Din: I can make Uj cake!
Rose: I want to work with animals or machines.
Poe: I want to be a pilot. Padmé, are there starships on Earth?
Padmé: Yea, but they’re called planes, and they can’t fly offplanet.
Poe: *shrugs* Flying is flying I guess.
Anakin: I mean I really don’t know where I’m going to live or work, but...
Anakin: I wanna go to Chliloptee
Anakin: Chlipllioe
Obi-Wan: wut
Anakin: *chopulyert
Anakin: *Chopolaj
Anakin: *Chupotlae
Obi-Wan: Take your time.
Anakin: Chiplo3
Obi-Wan: How did you even get a number in there?!
Anakin: Chipolta
Anakin: I give up.
Ahsoka: You could just say it out loud, you know.
Ben: 🙄 Now look what you’ve done, he’s running around the compound screaming Chipotle.
Kaydel: Can I join you?
Anakin: Sure.
Jannah: YAY CHIPOTLE ARMY
Maul: Why not?
Ben: Great, now they’re all doing it.

Mitaka has started a chat room
Mitaka invited The Guys
Armitage: WAIT I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE HERE
Armitage: I THOUGHT YOU DIED
Ben: Why are you terrible at keeping track of who’s alive and who isn’t?
Armitage: you thought phasma was dead too
Ben: That’s fair.
Mitaka: I just want to know why someone’s screeching.
Maul: It’s probably Jyn or Fennec or Zorii again.
Mitaka: It’s in the guys compound.
Maul: I-
Maul: I had no idea anyone in the guys compound could make that kind of sound.
Din: Well I’m over at the girls compound playing sabaac with Quinlan and Evaan.
Anakin: guys
Anakin: it’s Ezra
Anakin: and Obi-Wan
Din: wait WHAT?!?!?!?
Ezra: THERE’S A SPIDER
Ezra: OBIWAN
Ezra: KILL IT
Obi-Wan: IT’S HUGE
Obi-Wan: GET IT AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEE

Luke: Guys I smell something burning?
Han: It’s not my fault!
Quinlan: or mine

Ezra: WATCH IT OBIWAN YOURE GONNA SET MY BLANKET ON FIRE
Obi-Wan: IT’S CHASING ME
Din: now this i have to see
Maul: A fingernail-sized spider chasing a grown adult man who happens to be a Jedi Master and Clone Wars hero.
Maul: I might join the light side just to see this more often.
Anakin: If you know where we could find spiders, I *might* know how to get them into Obi-Wan’s room at the Jedi Temple.
Armitage: And I thought the First Order was an embarrassment to the Empire.
Mitaka: No, we still are.
Armitage: Why have we not fired you yet?
Mitaka: Because you haven’t.
Armitage: ok you’re more bearable than emo ren over there anyway

Ben: Oh yeahhhh I forgot about that.
Ben: Weird.
Poe: What can I say, you were a terrible influence when we were kids.
Poe: You still are.
Ben: You were the bad influence ngl
Armitage: Imagine having friends as a kid
Mitaka: *cries*
Armitage: Dopheld we didn’t meet until we were adults.
Mitaka: You act like a little kid, doesn’t that count?
Arm: Mitaka please just stop
Anakin: Wait, can we go back to Obi-Wan and Ezra’s fear of little baby spiders?
Anakin: Not even the big ones, because we’ve fought enormous spiders before.
Luke: I mean everyone has an irrational fear.
Luke: Mine is seagulls.
Anakin: SEAGULLS
Anakin: I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, MY SON
Luke: Listen boy,
Luke: SOMEDAY, WHEN YOU ARE OLDER

Luke: WHILE YOU’RE LYIN THERE, SCREAMIN
Han: Wait, couldn’t he just use the force to stop the boulder-
LUKE: “COME HELP ME PLEASE,’’ THE SEAGULLS
Din: Hmm?
Luke: POKE YOUR KNEES!
Anakin: You’re a psycho wiener.

Cara: Mk
Cara: Wait, what???
Ahsoka: I dunno we had a couple lying around.
Ahsoka: Ezra and Obi-Wan borrowed one to clobber a spider.
Ahsoka: So we used the other two as microphones.
Jyn: And we occasionally have been using them to whack each other.
Cara: Can I join in?
Fennec: Sure, you can be the judge for Rey and Jyn’s battle.

Jyn: IT’S JUST ANOTHER WAR
Jyn: JUST ANOTHER FAMILY TORN
Fennec: (FALLIN’ FROM MY FAITH TODAY)
Jyn: JUST A STEP FROM THE EDGE
Jyn: JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE WORLD WE LIVE 🎵
Cara: I-
Cara: Jyn. Wow.
Jyn: Didja like it?
Cara: I’m astonished.
Cara: That sounds way better than your shower version of Underdog.
Jyn: Thank you.
Cara: Also Fennec, nice save there with the background lyrics.
Fennec: No problem 👍
Ahsoka: Rey?
Rey: Ok my turn i guess
Rey: Ahsoka, wanna choose the song?
Ahsoka: Hmm...Meet Me On The Battlefield, by Svrcina.
Rey: Alright.
Rey: 🎵 No time for rest,
Rey: No pillow for my head,
Rey: Nowhere to run from this,
Rey: No way to forget,
Rey: Around the shadows creep,
Rey: Like friends they cover me,
Rey: just wanna lay me down and finally try to get some sleep,
Rey: We carry on, through the storm,
Rey: Tired soldiers in this war,
Rey: Remember what we’re fighting for...
Rey: Meet me on the battlefield,
Rey: Even on the darkest night,
Rey: I will be your sword and shield, your camouflage, and you will be mine.
Rey: Echoes of the shots ring out,
Rey: We may be the first to fall,
Rey: Everything could stay the same or we could change it all.
Rey: Meet me on the battlefield. 🎵
Cara: Woah.
Cara: GUYS I CAN’T CHOOSE
Cara: SOMEONE ELSE DO THIS
Jyn: Lol it’s fine we’ve had about six battles so far and no one’s won any.
Rey: We just keep tying and then whacking each other with the toilet paper tube things.
Cara: I like this game.
Fennec: Guys gimme a mic I wanna go against Cara.
Ahsoka: CARA GOTTA CHOOSE A RAPPER NAME FIRST
Cara: Why
Ahsoka: I dunno because
Cara: Well what’s your rapper name?
Ahsoka: I don’t have one.
Cara: THEN WHY DO I NEED ONE
Ahsoka: BECAUSE I SAID SO
Cara: Jyn, give me the toilet paper tube.
Jyn: not until you choose a rapper name
Cara: Jyn. Hand me the toiler paper tube.
Rey: As she pulls out huge gun from thin air 😂
Jyn: Yes, sir!
Cara: Rey, choose a song.
Rey: Uhh...One Woman Army? By Porcelain Black?
Cara: *ahem*
Cara: I’M ON THE BATTLEFIELD, LIKE, OH MY GOD
Cara: KNOCKIN’ SOLDIERS DOWN LIKE HOUSE OF CARDS
Cara: IM A ONE WOMAN ARMY
Cara: YES I’M A ONE WOMAN ARMY
Cara: I’M ON THE BATTLEFIELD, LIKE, OH MY GOD
Cara: KNOCKIN SOLDIERS DOWN LIKE HOUSE OF CARDS
Cara: I’M A ONE WOMAN ARMY
Cara: YES I’M A ONE WOMAN ARMY
Cara: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Fennec: i can beat this idiot any day
Fennec: Ahsoka! Song!
Ahsoka: oh force i can never choose just one
Ahsoka: Princesses Don’t Cry, CARYS? The Devil Within, Digital Daggers? Wreak Havoc, Skylar Grey?
Fennec: Ahsoka for force’s sakes-
Ahsoka: Ooh! What about the song from Mulan? Reflection?
Fennec: I can try.
Fennec: Who is that girl I see,
Fennec: Staring straight back at me?
Fennec: Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?
Fennec: Somehow I cannot hide
Fennec: Who I am, thought I’ve tried
Fennec: When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?
Rey: I think that’s another tie.
Cara: I like this game.
Cara: It’s better than listening to Ezra and Obi-Wan screech at a little baby spider.
Notes:
To choose the songs, I just shuffled my playlist, which is why some of the songs may not seem like something the character would sing (excluding Fennec, because A) I wanted her to sing a song from Mulan, and B) the song that came on for her turn was Illuminate by Alice’s Night Circus)

Fennec: GUYS GET IN THE BUS QUICK
Ahsoka: WHAT HAPPENED
Fennec: THE FBI JUST TEXTED ME
Fennec: WE GOTTA GO
Jyn: A perfect start to our trip.
Notes:
I regret nothing.
Also, the “You drink water, I drink anarchy” quote is not mine, it’s from a Batman movie written by an AI that I would definitely recommend, even to non Batman fans

Din: Cara screaming at everyone we pass?
Cara: GUYS LOOK THERE’S A PUPPY IN THE VEHICLE NEXT TO US!!!!!!
Zorii: Han threatening to duct tape Din to a chair if he wins at holochess one more time?
Cassian: Rey and Anakin arguing about sand?
Rey: I’m gonna need that duct tape after Han’s done with it.
Ezra: None of the above.
Ezra: Well they’re all correct but not what I was thinking.
Fennec: ANNOYING SONGS TO SING!!!!!
Ezra: you know what thats better than what i was gonna say so YES
Cara: LIVING PEOPLE KARAOKE AFTERNOON
Jyn: Dead People Karaoke Night sounds better.
Jyn: But anyway…
Jyn: THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND
Anakin: imagine having a childhood where you learned kids songs
Din: Is Jyn the only person on this bus who actually had a childhood?
Han: Yes.
Ezra: Yep.
Rey: Yea.
Jyn: LET IT GO, LET IT GO
Cara: CAN’T HOLD IT BACK ANY MORE
Mitaka: Ooh I know some of this one!
Mitaka: LET IT GO, LET IT GO
Ezra: TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR
Anakin: I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO SAY
Rey: LET THE STORM RAGE ON
Asajj: THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY
Cassian: I have never heard of this song.
Ezra: WE MUST EDUCATE CASSIAN IN THE WAYS OF FROZEN
Anakin: Guys we have a problem.
Fennec: Did something explode?
Anakin: no
Fennec: Did a tire pop?
Anakin: no
Fennec: Are we all going to die?
Anakin: no
Fennec: I see no problem.
Anakin: I’m hungry.
Asajj: I brought some of that miracle fruit Evaan was going crazy about.
Han: Wow I forgot you were here.
Asajj: I’m just taking pictures and videos to send back to everyone still in the compounds.
Cassian: PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A VIDEO OF CARA YELLING TO RANDOM PEOPLE THAT WE’RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL
Asajj: AND pictures of her waving at random people.
Anakin: Can we get Chipotle?
Fennec: of course.
Obi-Wan: So we’re just going to walk into Chipotle, eat, and then get back in the bus and raid Area 51?
Fennec: Yes.
Rey: This doesn’t seem like a good plan.
Rey: I like it.
Cara: All right, what do you idiots want from Chipotle?
Din: Do we have money?
Cara: Yes Padmé let me borrow some. She said Anakin would undoubtedly forget to bring something to eat.
Din: Are we sure Padmé’s not force-sensitive?
Obi-Wan: No, she’s just psychic in that way.
Fennec: TO CHIPOTLE!!!!
Asajj: Wait guys if Cara walks in there with a blaster and the various other weapons that she keeps hidden, aren’t we all gonna get sent back to the compounds?
Anakin: First of all, please stop being logical. No logic is allowed on this trip.
Anakin: And second of all, the FBI is already after us. How much further downhill can this go?
Mitaka: I always thought at some point you would reach the bottom and stop, but this trip is getting increasingly out of hand.
Obi-Wan: But are you having fun?
Mitaka: Surprisingly, yes.
Obi-Wan: Then we’re still good.
Cara: Alright, what do you guys want from Chipotle?
Rey: I will eat literally anything.
Jyn: SAME JUST HAND OVER FOOD
Asajj: do you want an orange
Jyn: YES
Han: Do you think they sell holochess tutorial booklets?
Cara: Doubtful, but I’ll look.
Zorii: Can i have burrito?
Cassian: I want to try an Earth taco.
Cara: Wait I can’t memorize all this, just write it down.
Din: Where?
Ezra: I found a pen but I don’t have anything to use as paper.
Zorii: I have a gum wrapper?
Cara: EW NO THERE’S CHEWED GUM IN IT
Mitaka: Can’t we just write on Cara?
Cara: No.
Din: Of course we can.
Cara: don’t you dare
Din: Decision goes to the driver.
Fennec: Write the list on Cara.
Fennec: BUT WRITE IT SOMEWHERE SHE CAN READ IT, I SAW THAT EXPRESSION DIN
Din: I’m wearing a kriffing helmet.
Fennec: I DON’T CARE
Cara: I hate you all, ok bye.
Anakin: YAY CHIPOTLE AND ILLEGAL ROAD TRIP
Chapter 18: Are We There Yet?
Chapter Text
Zorii: ARE WE THERE YET
Fennec: NO WE’RE NOT THERE SO STOP ASKING EVERY FIVE SECONDS OR I’M LEAVING YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
Zorii: FINE I’LL WALK TO AREA 51
Cara: Well kriff.
Cara: She’s as stubborn as you are.
Fennec: THEN I’LL TAPE YOUR MOUTH SHUT
Fennec: HAND OVER THE TAPE
Anakin: One sec, we’re taping Obi-Wan to a seat.
Obi-Wan: Someone please save me.
Cassian: I’m honestly a little worried.
Cassian: We’re removing the tape after we get to Area 51, right?
Din: Are we?
Asajj: Padmé would totally kill us if she knew about all the things we’re doing.
Din: GOOD IDEA
Din invited Padmé
Padmé: What’s up?
Jyn: THE CEILING
Padmé: Who gave Jyn sugar?
Cara: Actually it’s Chipotle.
Padmé: Ahh. Well at least we don’t have to listen to everyone running around and yelling Chipotle any more.
Padmé: What are you guys doing?
Fennec: Driving to Area 51.
Padmé: Yes but aside from that.
Padmé: None of you are the type to sit quietly for a bus ride.
Mitaka: Well...we’re taping Obi-Wan to a seat?
Mitaka: Din’s hiding in a corner.
Mitaka: Cara’s trying to wash the Chipotle order off her face and arm.
Mitaka: Jyn and Rey are dueling on top of the seats with...I think those are burritos.
Mitaka: And Ezra and Han are playing holochess but with severely modified rules.
Mitaka: Actually no they’re just making their characters beat the tar out of each other.
Mitaka: That’s about all of it.
Padmé: ….WHAT?
Padmé: Some of you will die when you get back here, and it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
Cassian: I’m just eating Chipotle and watching from a distance.
Padmé: WHY IS CARA WASHING A CHIPOTLE ORDER OFF HER FACE!?!?!?
Zorii: We didn’t have any paper so we wrote it on Cara.
Cara: If you want to murder them, you’ll have to get in line.
Padmé: And why are we taping Obi-Wan to a seat?
Anakin: He was being annoying.
Padmé: oh ok i guess i can accept that one then
Padmé: And Rey and Jyn are dueling with burritos???
Ezra: Actually they’re balancing on top of the seats to do it, but yes, those do seem to be burritos.
Han: HEY JYN YOU BETTER NOT LOSE, I’VE GOT 20 CREDITS ON YOU
Ezra: WELL REY I HAVE 20 CREDITS ON YOU SO DON’T YOU DARE LOSE
Padmé: You guys...are betting...on a burrito duel?
Ezra: Yes.
Han: Pretty much.
Zorii: They’ve taken over the entire back half of the bus.
Jyn: YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME
Rey: I LITERALLY AM RIGHT NOW
Jyn: ...FOR NOW
Padmé: Actually I’m intrigued. So what’s the goal of this game?
Han: Good question.
Ezra: They’re just attacking each other with burritos. That’s it.
Padmé: Alright. Well...wait, what’s Fennec doing?
Fennec: Oh I’m just driving.
Padmé: That’s a first.
Fennec; I’ve driven before!
Padmé: No I meant the fact that you’re not causing trouble.
Padmé: Anyway, I gotta go. We’re watching holos with Finn and Poe.
Din: Have fun.
Padmé: Don’t die.
Padmé left the chat
Chapter 19: Fennec’s FBI Agent
Notes:
So...this is a purely hypothetical question, but...how many souls would a gal have to sell for a Fennec Shand series?
Chapter Text
Fennec has started a chat room
Fennec invited AREA 51 RAIDERS
Zorii: We already had a chat going?
Fennec: Yea but it was so long that it stopped working for me.
Zorii: Ok.
Fennec: Anyway YES WE’RE ALMOST THERE SO LEAVE ME ALONE
Fennec: Also, am I the only one who’s been getting messages from the FBI?
Rey: Yea
Jyn: Yes
Obi-Wan: fajhdsfkljsdfljfsdkjlfdskl;fdlkjasdfljkrkjreigofiavnoipavrjnafcm;kel
Din: ???
Cassian: Anakin stole Obi-Wan’s phone.
Din: Oh yeah how’s Obi-Wan?
Anakin: Taped to a seat.
Din: Really? I haven’t heard him complaining, I’m surprised.
Ezra: Well you see, that’s what the tape is for.
Din: oh
Cara: Hey Fennec can I please use your phone?
Fennec: You have your own.
Cara: Yea but I wanna reply to the FBI texts.
Fennec: Knock yourself out.
Fennec: Just not literally this time.
Cara: No that wasn’t me, that was Bo-Katan. She slipped on the ice while we were on Kijimi.
Zorii: AYYYYYY I’M FROM KIJIMI!!! 😁
Cara: This was before you were born.
Zorii: So?
Fennec: It was a nice planet, but it was COLD
Zorii: Yea, it’s not so nice any more. The FO kind of took over :(
Mitaka: excuse me i’m offended
Zorii: Excuse me you blew up my home.
Mitaka: Actually that was the Final Order.
Anakin: Isn’t that what FO stands for?
Rey: FO is First Order. The Final Order is...kind of hard to explain.
Anakin: Ahh.
Jyn: guys can we not talk about the wars any more?
Rey: Yea, sure.
Cara: GUYS THE FBI’S LIKE RIGHT BEHIND US WE GOTTA MOVE
Cara: but i learned the meaning of life so that’s cool.
Din: What???
Cara: Yay I made a new friend!
Cara: Her name is Melinda.
Cara: She seems cool.
Rey: Hi this is Fennec I just stole Rey’s phone bc Cara has mine.
Rey: CARA I TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES NOT TO USE MY PHONE TO GET ON TINDER
Cara: I’m not on Tinder, she’s your FBI agent.
Din: Wait I still want to hear this thing about the meaning of life-
Cara: It’s 42.
Din: ????
Jyn: Guess she found the glitterstim.
Ezra: Cara’s on Tinder?
Cassian: Cara you’re in government quarantine. How do you expect to go on a date?
Cara: I’m not on Tinder because Fennec won’t let me use her phone to download Tinder.
Fennec: Use Obi-Wan’s!
Cara: oh ok that’s a much better idea
Anakin: NO I’M USING OBI-WAN’S PHONE
Din: WHY ISN’T OBI-WAN USING OBI-WAN’S PHONE?
Anakin: CAUSE HE’S DUCT TAPED TO A BUS SEAT
Din: Oh ok.
Zorii: I think I see the FBI agent. Permission to fire?
Cara: WOAH WOAH WOAH SLOW DOWN
Cara: NO SHOOTING MY FRIEND
Asajj: How did you make friends with the FBI agent who’s chasing us IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES
Cara: Well we both like animals and kicking people’s butts and space travel.
Asajj: Impressive.
Asajj: Can you tell her not to shoot us?
Cara: Technically we’re the ones trying to shoot her.
Fennec: Just make sure Zorii doesn’t shoot anyone- I’m gonna try some evasive maneuvers!
Din: OMIGOD WE’RE GONNA DIE
Din: FENNEC THIS IS NOT SLAVE 1
Fennec: No, it’s Slave 2. Fastest bus in the galaxy.
Cassian: Zorii’s still trying to shoot the Melinda lady, what should we do?
Han: Shoot her...or something!
Rey: No!
Ezra: Steal her blaster!
Anakin: NO
Anakin: Padmé said we cannot steal.
Anakin: Because that would make you
Anakin: A theif
Obi-Wan: Thief?
Anakin: Theif
Obi-Wan: I before e
Obi-Wan: except after c
Anakin: thceif
Obi-Wan: no
Din: Well at least Obi-Wan got his phone back.
Obi-Wan: someone else please teach Anakin to spell.
Anakin: Sotp.
Anakin: Leav me aloen Obi-Wan
Obi-Wan: I wil nevr sotp
Zorii: This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!
Jyn: I GOT ZORII’S GUN!!
Jyn: WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?
Zorii: FAJAFDKLJFDALJKAFDJKLALJKDFAFJLKD GIVE IT BACK ERSO
Cara: THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW!!!
Jyn: OK
Cassian: NO!!!!!!!!!
Rey: Omigod.
Rey: Melinda just ran over it.
Cara: Fennec I need your phone again to send her an apology.
Fennec: I’m never giving you my phone again.
Cara: I highly doubt that.
Chapter 20: Fennec Can’t Spell, Anakin Hates Sand, etc.
Notes:
I wrote this chapter while listening to the Crab Rave song, so apologies for any incoherent parts. I blame the crustaceans.
Chapter Text
Cassian: wait what if we invite Fennec’s FBI agent to come raid Area 51 with us?
Fennec: no. I am not handing over my phone until after this is over.
Cara: Can I FaceTime Melinda?
Fennec: MO!
Fennec: *NO!
Anakin: The fact that you misspelled that really takes away from the whole ‘you FaceTime Melinda and you’re dead’ vibe.
Din: Did Anakin just...day the word ‘vibe’?
Anakin: Yes?
Din: This is so weird considering I spent most of my life terrified of you.
Rey: This is so weird because I spent most of my life comforted by your death and now we’re eating Chipotle on a bus together.
Anakin: wait why would you be terrified of me though 🥺
Cara: NO REASON
Anakin: ???
Fennec: Din Dkarin if you mess up the timeline-
Cara: DKARIN
Cara: THAT’S THE SECOND TIME YOU’VE RUINED ONE OF YOUR THREATS
Cara: WHY HAS FENNEC LOST THE ABILITY TO SPELL?
Mitaka: The real question is how many more times will she do it because it’s very entertaining.
Zorii: the real question is how much farther until we get to Area 51?
Cassian: We are literally driving through the middle of nowhere.
Rey: No, not really.
Rey: Nowhere has a lot more sand.
Anakin: i don’t like sand
Obi-Wan: ONE DAY
Anakin: It’s coarse and rough and irritating.
Obi-Wan: ALL I’M ASKING FOR IS ONE SINGLE DAY WHERE I DO NOT HAVE TO HEAR THE SAND SPEECH
Anakin: And it gets everywhere!
Obi-Wan: WHY ME? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS?
Rey: i mean i dont mind sand that much its really soft and-
Anakin: I’ve heard enough.
Anakin: We’re throwing Rey out of the bus.
Rey: uh oh
Fennec: NO MURDRER BACK THERE
Cara: MURDRER
Cara: THAT’S THREE TIMES
Ezra: Wait are we stopping the bus before we throw her off or are we just gonna keep going.
Fennec: I mean at this point I’m not stopping the bus because we’ve been traveling all day.
Fennec: BUT STILL, NO MURDER
Asajj: I’m going to be a neutral party in this but the duct tape’s over by Cassian if anyone was wondering.
Anakin: Thanks.
Anakin: even though i wanted you dead a few weeks ago
Asajj: Thanks bro 👍
Anakin: Hey can u help me tie up Rey
Asajj: sure why not
Rey: I can think of a lot of reasons why not-
Zorii: Hmm I want to choose chaos but I also don’t want to murder my fren.
Mitaka: I mean
Mitaka: To be completely fair
Mitaka: Even if she does die
Mitaka: She’s died before, so-
Rey: HEY HEY NO, DO NOT ENCOURAGE HER
Rey: THAT WAS UNDER SOME WEIRD CIRCUMSTANCES
Jyn: Being randomly transported to a planet where no one’s ever heard of the Empire or the Rebellion (or whatever the two sides are called wherever you guys were in time idk) doesn’t count as weird circumstances?
Rey: I was trying to murder my only remaining family member, who was trying to take over the galaxy with this huge fleet of ships that no one knew about for a couple decades, with help from someone I almost murdered about three hours beforehand. All of this occurred a couple hours after I had to fight against myself.
Jyn: Well kriff. Now I’m kind of glad I was about to blow up so I don’t have to see that stuff happen.
Rey: Yea a lot of weird stuff happens in the future.
Han: Ok, but I doubt you can get much weirder than a giant space station that destroys planets.
Rey:
Zorii:
Mitaka:
Han: oh no
Han: how bad does it get
Rey: I’m not sure how much we can give away without destroying the timeline.
Anakin: Wait, PLANET-DESTROYING SPACE STATIONS EXIST?!?!?!?
Ezra: oh kriff.
Ezra: Should we tell him?
Mitaka: This trip is getting increasingly uncomfortable.
Mitaka: I’m still having fun though, so I guess everything’s fine.
Mitaka: Except for the fact that we’re now messing with a timeline which means some of us could never be born holy force now that I’m saying this out loud it seems worse-
Din: Look on the bright side. Maybe if we mess with the timeline, planet-destroying space stations won’t exist!
Jyn: Or maybe it doesn’t matter cause we’re all stuck here and never going back to our galaxy and so the timeline is useless now.
Fennec: I like her.
Cara: Din can we keep her?
Din: ...fine.
Han: But guys...how bad does it get?
Rey: *inhales* So…
Zorii: Tell him.
Rey: You are stabbed by your emo son on a star-system-destroying planet turned weapon.
Zorii: KRIFF, I didn’t mean tell him everything!
Rey: WELL SAYING ‘Tell him’ IS KINDA VAGUE
Han: oh
Han: I’m gonna need a little while to come to terms with this.
Cassian: You can come hang with me and Din, we used the duct tape to build a fort.
Han: Thank you.
Anakin: Does this mean you guys are gonna tell me why everyone’s afraid of me?
Obi-Wan: Because you’re an annoying, whiny womp rat.
Anakin: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT, YOU’RE GETTING YEETED OFF THE BUS NOW TOO
Fennec: You guys are really trying to fit in as much chaos into the last fifteen minutes of our trip as you can, aren’t you?
Chapter 21: Home Again, Home Again
Notes:
This got weird fast.
Chapter Text
Fennec: IGHT WE’RE FIVE MINUTES AWAY SO YOU IDIOTS HAVE FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MURDER IS BANNED AGAIN
Anakin: ahhh yes, she’s lifted the murder on ban.
Asajj: The kriff are you on.
Anakin: *ban on murder
Rey: Geez and I thought the Skywalkers in our generation were the worst.
Han: Yea, that’s what I thought until I found out I was STABBED
Jyn: I mean it’s better than blowing up.
Din: Why is Jyn so salty about blowing up?
Jyn: BECAUSE I WANTED TO LEAVE IN A ESCAPE POD BUT CASSIAN SAID WE SHOULD GO DOWN TO THE BEACH TO WAIT FOR THE REST OF ROGUE ONE
Jyn: BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
Jyn: THEY WERE ALL DEAD
Jyn: WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD YOU WOULD HAPPEN, CASSIAN
Din: And I thought having to deal with Cara was tough.
Han: I have to deal with Luke and Leia.
Mitaka: I have to deal with Hux and Kylo.
Anakin: Guys.
Anakin: I have to deal with myself.
Fennec: winner
Zorii: by a landslide
Asajj: winner
Obi-Wan: Whiner, more like.
Anakin: Din, Cassian, may I borrow the duct tape?
Cara: Oh yea did anyone get thrown off the bus yet?
Ezra: No, Rey took Jyn hostage.
Cassian: Well I’m not complaining.
Jyn: I WILL SNEAK INTO YOUR ROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND HAUNT YOUR NIGHTMARES
Fennec: That’s not even a threat.
Fennec: You already sneak into Cassian’s room in the middle of the night.
Fennec: Try something more like ‘I will track you down from halfway across the galaxy and exact my revenge’.
Asajj: 👀
Ezra: 😏
Han: You wanna explain, Erso?
Jyn: oh kriff FENNEC YOU’RE DEAD
Fennec: WOULDN’T BE THE FIRST TIME
Jyn: I WILL RIP OUT YOUR CYBERNETIC GUTS AND LEAVE YOU FOR DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS DESERT
Fennec: Ooh, much more intimidating. Except this also wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been left for dead in the middle of a desert, but you started out strong.
Jyn: WELL THEN I WILL RIP OUT YOUR CYBERNETIC GUTS AND THEN DRIVE BACK TO CHIPOTLE AND LEAVE YOU FOR DEAD IN CHIPOTLE
Cara: ALRIGHT THAT’S ENOUGH BACK THERE
Jyn: MAKE ME STOP
Cara: FINE I WILL
Rey: oh kriff
Rey: Cara has entered the battlefield.
Fennec: What’s she doing, I can’t look away from the road rn
Ezra: She and Jyn are gonna battle on top of the seats.
Din: I can temporarily take over driving, I don’t wanna be anywhere near this fight.
Fennec: Yes please, thank you.
Din: Thank you, I was dying back there.
Fennec: Wow look at my girlfriend go.
Cara: What?
Fennec: I said she’s right behind you.
Cara: Ok thx!
Fennec: 🥰
Din: ok so it turns out Earth vehicles are nothing like spaceships FENNEC I NEED HELP
Fennec: mk i can take over again
Fennec: ALRIGHT ALL OF YOU SIT DOWN WE’RE AT AREA 51
Zorii: FINALLY
Rey: Umm...guys?
Rey: I think we have a problem, unless I’m the only one seeing this.
Mitaka: Nope, I see it too.
Asajj: I’m...very confused.
Cassian: So unless this is a coincidence and there’s two identical buildings…
Jyn: Area 51...are the compounds we’ve been staying in!?
Chapter 22: ...This is getting out of hand
Chapter Text
Padmé has started a chat room
Padmé invited Area 51 Idiots
Padmé: So how was your road trip?
Cassian: Cursed.
Din: Terrifying.
Fennec: Beautiful.
Han: Shocking.
Cara: Chaotic,
Anakin: Tasty.
Mitaka: Fun!
Padmé: I don’t even want to know.
Jyn: Well you see…
Padmé: I SAID I DON’T WANT TO KNOW
Jyn: YES BUT THAT USUALLY MEANS YOU DO WANT TO KNOW
Padmé: YOU HAVE A POINT
Jyn: WHY ARE WE YELLING?
Padmé: I HAVE NO IDEA
Cara: I made a new friend today.
Padmé: I’m so proud of you.
Cara: Zorii tried to shoot her.
Padmé: I’m so terrified of you.
Zorii: SHE WAS CHASING US
Fennec: I TOLD YOU NOT TO SHOOT HER
Obi-Wan: I hated it.
Obi-Wan: Anakin taped me to a seat.
Din: Cassian and I built a duct tape fort.
Han: Rey told me how I die.
Rey: IT’S ZORII’S FAULT
Zorii: I DIDN’T TELL YOU TO SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT PART
Rey: YES WELL YOU DIDN’T TELL ME NOT TO EITHER
Padmé: How….how DO you die?
Han: I don’t wanna talk about it.
Padmé: Did she say who?
Han: not specifically, no
Han: Wait, do you know?
Padmé: No I’m just curious.
Anakin: That’s a little creepy.
Padmé: I’m a little creepy.
Cara: And I always thought you were just some constantly diplomatic politician.
Padmé: *shrugs*
Cara: I like her.
Fennec: Have you ever died?
Padmé: Not yet, no.
Fennec: Kriff, I was gonna invite you to be a part of dead person karaoke night.
Fennec: Do you know how you die?
Padmé: Also not yet, but I’d be willing to find out if I can join your night of tone-deaf screeching.
Asajj: Is it just me or did Padmé go from being this vanilla mom to being...This?
Padmé: well no one’s blowing anything up right now so I’m taking some time off from being the constantly responsible one.
Padmé: How do I die?
Mitaka: I love how we’ve all just given up on keeping the whole timeline intact.
Jyn: It’s pointless. We’re stuck here. Deal with it.
Din: So uh...who’s telling her?
Ezra: Not it.
Ezra: I don’t even know the answer.
Rey: Well you see…
Rey: You’re sad.
Rey: So you die.
Padmé: ...that’s all?
Rey: yes, actually
Padmé: That’s kind of disappointing to be honest.
Padmé: I always thought I’d die in battle or something. Defending the Senate building maybe. Or like...of natural causes.
Padmé: I die of sad?
Rey: I believe history says you die of a broken heart, but...yes.
Padmé: Well now I’m sad.
Rey: nO NOPE BAD IDEA
Anakin: Who broke Padmé’s heart and where can I find them because WE NEED TO TALK
Ezra: ...well.
Cassian: This got weird fast.
Asajj: We’re casually conversing about death. Of course it did.
Jyn: WELL I HAD A BURRITO DUEL AND THEN GOT MY BUTT KICKED BY CARA SO THAT HAPPENED
Fennec: Ahh yes a topic change
Din: And Fennec almost crashed the bus multiple times.
Fennec: HEY HEY CHANGE THE TOPIC BACK TO THE BURRITOS
Mitaka: We got Chipotle because Anakin wanted it, and then Jyn and Rey tried to whack each other with burritos.
Mitaka: And then Cara was on Tinder.
Cara: I WAS NOT ON TINDER
Rey; I almost got thrown out of a bus.
Anakin: SHE SAID SHE LIKED SAND
Anakin: THIS IS AN UNFORGIVABLE OFFENSE
Rey: SAND SAND SAND SAND SAND
Anakin: QUIET OR ELSE
Rey: OR ELSE WHAT
Anakin: fennec i need a quick crash course on insults
Fennec: um so either target insecurities or insult her mother.
Anakin: ???
Fennec: you know, like a your mum joke?
Anakin: make it make sense
Fennec: just use the first option
Anakin: ok
Anakin: YOU’RE NOTHING
Rey: AT LEAST BE ORIGINAL
Anakin: YOUR MOM
Fennec: THAT’S NOT HOW A YOUR MOM INSULT WORKS
Fennec: I mean it kind of is but it also isn’t.
Zorii: Fennec should to a TED Talk on insulting people.
Fennec; Meet up in my room next week and there shall be a TED Talk.
Zorii: Ahh yes.
Padmé: So guys.
Padmé: Did you make it to Area 51? Or did you just come back here?
Rey: Well you see…
Asajj: NO DON’T LET HER DO IT, EVERY TIME SHE TELLS SOMEONE SOMETHING, IT’S BAD NEWS
Rey: oh ok
Anakin: You see the thing is…
Anakin: Area 51 is actually the compounds.
Padmé: KHDFSHKSDHKFKDFSHSFDHSFDHSDFHKDSFHKSFD WHAT?!?!?!?

Ahsoka has started a chat room
Ahsoka: So guys.
Ahsoka: o wait no one’s here
Ahsoka invited Everyone
Ahsoka: So I gotta go to my job today
Ezra: YOU GOT A JOB?!?!
Ahsoka: Yes :D
Rose: You go girl!
Luke: Where?
Ahsoka: This place called McDonalds.
Padmé: THE PLACE WITH THE CREEPY CLOWN DUDE??
Ahsoka: YES
Padmé: I’m so proud of you.
Ahsoka: Anyway, I need you guys to watch Morai while I’m at work today, cause no animals are allowed.
Jyn: She really just banned about half of us.
Din: Oh I’d say more than half.
Ahsoka: guys can someone just please take care of morai while I’m gone
Cassian: sure
Ahsoka: thank you
Anakin: I’m making cookies today.
Poe: I’m helping.
Kaydel: Me too.
Din: This doesn’t seem safe.
Evaan: Ooh, cookies!
Jannah: ...crack cookies?
Padmé: nO, NO MORE CRACK FOODS
Jyn: ???
Padmé: They made crack popcorn for our movies while you were gone.
Jyn: I must get this recipe.
Cassian: BURN IT IMMEDIATELY
Fennec: *grabs fire stick* BURN WHAT
Cassian: THE RECIPE
Fennec: you do realize that she will get her hands on it no matter what
Fennec: you cannot stop that girl
Cassian: yes i know that, we literally came up with an illegal, suicidal plan to find the death star plans
Fennec: Then why are you trying to stop her?
Cassian: Because someone needs to at least try even if it is completely pointless.
Ahsoka: You know what I’m just gonna head out to work.
Padmé: As much as it pains me to say this, I will also be leaving work.
Padmé: Don’t burn down the compounds, call me if anyone gets tied up or locked in a closet again.
Rey: yes mom
Padmé: you do realize you’re one of the few people here I’m not related to in some way?
Rose: FoR nOw
Asajj: I’m pretty sure we’re not related.
Padmé: Anakin and Quinlan are basically adopted brothers so that would make you like… look I don’t have time to figure that one out, I gotta go to work.
Padmé: AND THERE BETTER BE THE SAME AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HERE WHEN I GET BACK
Obi-Wan: …
Obi-Wan: Oh good, she’s gone.
Cara: Let the chaos commence.
Din: I have had more than enough chaos.
Cara: Well I haven’t. We’re making cookies?
Poe: Wookie cookies.
Anakin: on Cooking With Anakin
Kaydel: YES
Kaydel: I’M VIDEOING THIS, ANAKIN PRETEND YOU’RE ON A COOKING HOLO
Anakin: Alright class, today we’re making wookie cookies, and also Navarro cookies, as requested by Cara Dune.
Ben: you’re going to make a mess
Anakin: yes
Ben: padmé will kill you
Anakin: the existence of luke and leia proves you wrong
Ben: we were literally pulled out of time
Rey: you know i always thought you guys would get along
Luke: they are getting along
Rey: are you sure
Luke: its a skywalker thing
Rey: ahhh
Anakin: So now you pour the batter into cookie shapes and cross your fingers and hope for the best.
Ben: We’re all dead.
Jyn: if she kills Anakin we bury him in the desert, all in favor say ‘aye’
Obi-Wan: AYE
Maul: ahh yes, definite aye
Han: Don’t you mean WHEN she kills Anakin?
Jyn: yes
Anakin: And now we shall bake the cookies.
Anakin: Time for a vote you guys.
Anakin: So I can either bake these cookies at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or 4000 degrees for 1 minute.
Fennec: oh kriff
Ezra: I’m beginning to understand what Padmé meant when she was talking about us burning down the compounds.
Din: anakin nO THAT’S NOT HOW YOU BAKE COOKIES
Anakin: Floor it?
Asajj: Why not?
Ben: I’m going to go hide.
Finn: yea...
Leia: I’m just gonna go hang out with Morai-
Rey: This seems dangerous but I’m staying because there’s food.
Kaydel: I’m staying because we’re going to need video evidence to show Fennec’s FBI agent after we burn this place down.
Cara: I’m staying cause I wanna chat with Melinda again
Din: ANAKIN NO
Anakin: GUYS GUYS GUYS
Anakin: HOW ABOUT 4,000,000 DEGREES FOR 1 SECOND
Obi-Wan: ANAKIN YOU ARE GOING TO BURN THE COMPOUNDS DOWN
Cara: I mean I don’t exactly see anyone complaining.
Anakin: I WILL HARNESS THE KRIFFING SUN TO MAKE COOKIES
Quinlan: ANAKIN P L E A S E
Ezra: Anyone else notice that we’re all screaming at him to stop while standing here and watching and doing nothing and basically encouraging him to keep going?
Mitaka: Yes.
Mitaka: Who knew the oven could be set to 4,000,000 degrees?
Zorii: To be fair, this is a military base.
Mitaka: True, true.
Ezra: so no one’s gonna stop him?
Rey: nope
Cara: not really
Ben: we are all going to die
Jyn: be positive
Ben: we’re going to die a slow and painful death as flames consume us
Fennec: did jyn seriously just tell someone to be positive
Jyn: you were supposed to say ‘we are all going to die quickly’, but that’s probably more accurate
Chapter 24: We have...too many problems to count
Chapter Text
Fennec has started a chat room
Fennec invited Everyone
Fennec: GUYS
Fennec: WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Ben: Yes, we’ve determined that.
Ben: Anakin’s gonna burn down the kriffing house.
Fennec: wait what
Fennec: GUYS WE HAVE TWO PROBLEMS
Jyn: yes, we’ve determined that.
Jyn: Anakin’s now fighting with Cara over the best type of cookies
Cara: NEVARRO COOKIES WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR TO YOUR AMETUER SAND COOKIES
Anakin: THIS IS AN OFFENSE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER
Anakin: SQUARE UP
Cara: FINE
Fennec: okay...GUYS WE HAVE THREE PROBLEMS
Din: Yes. Now they’re dueling in the middle of the kitchen while the cookies burn in the background.
Fennec: FOR FORCE’S SAKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE
Fennec: also WE HAVE FOUR PROBLEMS
Mitaka: What’s the fourth?
Fennec: so we were upstairs doing that TED Talk on insults and uh
Fennec: Morai kind of escaped and now we’ve lost her.
Asajj: Say your goodbyes, everyone.
Asajj: Ahsoka is going to shatter us like glass.
Obi-Wan: We’re all going to die TWICE.
Jyn: be positive?
Obi-Wan: TWICE, Jyn. TWICE.
Jyn: Fair.
Leia: We should form a search party to find Morai, and then another group to break up Anakin and Cara’s fight and put out the cookies when they ignite.
Kaydel: I’m with the cookie fire group.
Fennec: I’ll go find the bus, and then we can put together the Morai group.
Ben: Wait...you let Morai LEAVE THE COMPOUND
Fennec: i mean we didnt let her-
Ben: You better hope the force is with you.
Finn: I mean look on the bright side, the TED Talk was good.
Fennec: Thank you :D
Leia: I liked the uno reverse part.
Fennec: wow I’m glad i worked so hard on that
Zorii: But let’s face it, Fennec passionately talking about the correct way to use ‘no u’ for five minutes straight was one of the best things you’ve ever seen.
Jyn: wow now i wish i was at the TED Talk instead of watching the flaming cookie argument
Cassian: you already know more than any being needs to about insulting people
Jyn: true and also the fire argument was beautiful
Cassian: it was less of an argument than Anakin threatening to burn stuff and everyone watching and silently encouraging it
Jyn: Also true.
Leia: Have they set on fire yet?
Ezra: Actually, no, they haven’t.
Zorii: Wait, really?
Kaydel: They are starting to look a bit crispy though.
Han: OPEN THE OVEN
Obi-Wan: NO
Obi-Wan: IF WE SET OFF THE SMOKE ALARM THE FBI WILL COME AND WE WON’T BE ABLE TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO SET THE COOKIES ON FIRE
Ezra: Dang these cookies are more fire-resistant than Anakin.
Rey: The second Cara and Anakin hear what you two just said we are going to have a galaxy-wide crisis on our hands.
Din: I doubt they heard you, they’re a little busy.
Han: What are they doing?
Din: Fighting with spatulas.
Han: I’m considering going down there but it doesn’t seem like a safe idea right now.
Din: It’s not.
Din: how long until fennec gets back with her bus?
Fennec: Ten minutes if I have to park it, twenty seconds if you guys are okay with the dramatic entrance option and if my modifiers work.
Din: I regret asking.
Maul: dramatic...entrance?
Asajj: I doubt it can beat any of my dramatic entrances.
Fennec: Beep beep morons I’m here
Maul: Dramatic entrance.
Cassian: So no one’s going to question the fact that she just crashed through the wall with a BUS and is perfectly fine.
Fennec: The modifiers worked!
Cassian: m-modifiers? 😳
Fennec: Modifiers.
Poe: Like what?
Fennec: Well Cara and I figured out how to make it fly.
Poe: THEY FLY NOW?!
Finn: Fennec, buses are not supposed to fly.
Fennec: Well this one does.
Asajj: Remember two days ago when this thing was just a normal bus who never had to deal with our wrath?
Fennec: not this bus, sister.
Asajj: We related?
Fennec: no
Fennec: u wanna be?
Quinlan: alRIGHT STAY AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND
Armitage: *protective boyfriend mode activated*
Asajj: ahahah im pretty sure she was just asking if i wanted to be friends w/ her but ok quin
Fennec: wow she really just friendzoned me 😭
Leia: Guys as entertaining as this is, we now need to find Morai, stop Anakin from burning down the compounds, and fix the massive hole in the wall.
Chapter 25: To the utility store!!!
Chapter Text
Zorii has started a chat room
Zorii invited Everyone
Zorii: Guys we need to get Anakin and Cara to stop fighting.
Obi-Wan: guys
Obi-Wan: I got this.
Obi-Wan: ANAKIN YOU’RE NOT THE CHOSEN ONE
Anakin: UNO REVERSE
Fennec: *sniffles* I’m so proud.
Ezra: I think this requires someone from the future.
Ezra: HEY ANAKIN, I HEARD THERE’S YOUNGLINGS AT THE UTILITY STORE WE’RE HEADED TO
Ezra: WANNA COME WITH
Ezra: WE GOTTA GRAB SOME SUPPLIES TO FIX THE HOLE FENNEC BLASTED IN THE WALL
Anakin: I’m a simple man, I hear ‘younglings’ and I come with.
Obi-Wan: I don’t even want to know.
Cassian: Believe me, you really don’t.
Obi-Wan: I’d ask how bad it gets, but last time that happened…
Han: We don’t talk about that.
Ben: About what?
Rey: …uh
Mitaka: 😂
Maul: 🙄 you kids from the future and your weird inside jokes.
Rey: Let’s just pretend this conversation never happened.
Mitaka: we should tell him
Rose: we totally shouldn’t
Mitaka: everyone else has given up on preserving the timeline
Rose: yes but this is about preserving our lives
Mitaka: you really think they’d resort to murder?
Kaydel: who’re we even talking about?
Kaydel: wait wait wait
Kaydel: the more important question is, are they related to anakin?
Mitaka: yes
Kaydel: it will lead to murder
Kaydel: even though i have no idea what you guys are talking about
Han: I think it has something to do with that time on the failed Area 51 trip when Rey told me how I die.
Ben: You WHAT?!
Rey: Zorii told me to!
Zorii: I did not tell you to-
Rey: Well you didn’t tell me not to, and he asked how bad things get, and murder kind of topped the list!
Ben: You couldn’t have said something about Hosnia instead?
Rey: I did!
Mitaka: We kind of covered all the bases.
Jyn: it was interesting
Anakin: do you think i should bring my lightsaber with us to the store?
Cara: omigod NO
Luke: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Evaan: BAD IDEA BAD IDEA
Anakin: …?
Jyn: TELL HIM TELL HIM TELL HIM
Cara: THIS IS GETTING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
Jyn: TELL HIM
Cara: NO, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD REMAIN A SECRET
Anakin: WHY ARE YOU ALL SCREAMING AT ME
Cara: BECAUSE I’M HANGRY
Anakin: o ok that’s a reasonable excuse
Cara: imma go grab somethin to eat
Anakin: you do that 👍
Jannah: I call not going to the store with Anakin.
Ben: I call whatever Han isn’t doing.
Han: I’d ask, but so far that hasn’t ended well.
Jyn: Please please please tell me what happens in the future for u guys to freak out like this 🥺😈
Rey: no because you’ll immediately tell Han.
Rey: and i think we have enough problems on our hands right now.
Fennec: Guys let’s just figure out who’s going with who before we have more than eight problems.
Cara: SHOTGUN!
Ezra: Aww, no fair, you got it last time!
Cara: No, I mean like I found a shotgun in the kitchen.
Ezra: you know what, how about you take shotgun seat too while you’re at it, i’ll just step aside real quick-
Fennec: We’re getting dangerously close to more than eight problems.
Maul: Why is our deadline eight?
Armitage: More importantly, why is there a kriffing shotgun in our kitchen?!
Jyn: Nah, the first question is definitely more important.
Cara: Step away from the passenger seat, I also call shotgun as well.
Fennec: nO SHOTGUNS ALLOWED IN MY CAR
Cara: WHAT ABOUT BLASTERS
Fennec: THOSE ARE ALLOWED
Cara: GIVE ME TWENTY MINUTES AND THIS THING’LL BE SHOOTING LASERS
Fennec: NO SHOTGUN CARA
Cara: BUT THEN IT’LL BE A BLASTER
Fennec: …you win this round
Anakin: We should probably assign groups bc Ahsoka and Padmé are scary on their own
Anakin: But when they work together to murder you, it’s even more terrifying.
Asajj: Got it, so Obi-Wan is afraid of spiders, and Anakin is afraid of Padmé and Ahsoka.
Anakin: FOR GOOD REASON
Leia: Don’t forget Luke, he’s afraid of seagulls.
Luke: Stop it. Now.
Maul: So in other words, the light-siders are losers?
Ezra: Rude.
Obi-Wan: If I remember correctly, I sliced you in half when I was like 14
Rey: I wouldn’t trust a 14-year-old with a lightsaber to begin with.
Cassian: I wouldn’t trust most of us with lightsabers, and we’re adults.
Din: What do you mean, ‘most of us’? I wouldn’t trust any of us.
Jyn: I don’t trust any of you to begin with.
Cassian: We know, Jyn.
Jyn: Just making sure.
Kaydel: Mk so uh guys while you were arguing the cookies finally started to burn.
Jannah: WHY DID IT TAKE THIS LONG FOR THEM TO BURN
Quinlan: They have reached a level of fireproof-ness that none of us can hope to reach.
Ezra: especially anakin
Anakin: WHY DOES EVERYONE KNOW THINGS ABOUT ME THAT I DON’T KNOW
Fennec: Idk but guys you have five minutes to figure out who’s going to the utility store with me before I leave without you.
Din: I’m going wherever Cara goes because someone needs to make sure she doesn’t do...anything.
Cara: Can I breathe?
Din: Yes Cara, you are allowed to breathe.
Cara: Can I steal all of the little paint sample thingies?
Din: no
Cara: Mk I’m doing it then.
Han: I guess I’ll head to the utility store.
Evaan: Sure, why not?
Quinlan: I might as well go.
Din: Wait guys we need one more responsible person to come with us.
Zorii: …
Mitaka: …
Asajj: …
Din: We need one more person with more than one brain cell left.
Din: AND THE BRAIN CELL MUST BE USED FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN CHAOS AND ANARCHY
Jyn: …
Kaydel: …
Ezra: …
Armitage: i vote ben
Ben: NO
Fennec: Alright Ben you’re coming with.
Armitage: You know what I’m coming to watch this go down.
Rey: I’m coming to prevent a duel.
Kaydel: I’ll bring the popcorn.
Anakin: Wait guys I’m coming with you!
Anakin: As long as there’s younglings, I mean.
Leia: I...am coming as well to prevent disaster.
Fennec: Ok that’s enough for the utility store group.
Fennec: GET IN LOSERS WE’RE GOING SHOPPING
Han: YOU DON’T HAVE TO YELL
Fennec: IT’S MY BUS AND I’LL YELL IF I WANT TO
Armitage: So...by show of hands...how many of you are bringing lightsabers?
Armitage: oh my god we’re going to die
Evaan: ANAKIN LEAVE YOUR LIGHTSABER AT THE COMPOUNDS
Anakin: WHY
Anakin: BUT YOUNGLINGS
Anakin: I WANT TO TEACH THEM THE FINE ART OF LIGHTSABER DUELING
Evaan: NO
Quinlan: Wait, Leia owns a lightsaber?
Leia: Yes.
Fennec: I don’t know what this says about us but there’s 12 of us and 5 of us have lightsabers. And then the rest of us have various weapons.
Din: v-various?
Cara: Yea me and Fennec have a few backups just in case.
Din: WE ARE LITERALLY GOING TO THE UTILITY STORE
Din: WHY DO YOU NEED WEAPONS?!?!?!
Fennec: This is the way
Din: ok that’s rude no using the mandalorian code against me.
Fennec: no that was a question i just forgot to add a question mark
Fennec: i was asking cara if this was the way to the utility store
Din: oh
Chapter 26: Wheelyboxes
Notes:
...here you go *hands over chapter* it ain’t pretty, but it’s there.
Chapter Text
Fennec has started a chat room
Fennec invited WALL SHOPPERS
Fennec: ok so this was the closest utility store we could find with our combined map skills, which are very limited
Armitage: Home Depot?
Kaydel: Why is it so...orange?
Fenenc: I have no idea let’s go.
Quinlan: Hey wait I would like to argue with this chat’s name.
Quinlan: You make it sound like we’re going in there to buy a wall.
Fennec: Are we not?
Quinlan: ...fair.
Cara: Who’s coming with me to the paint sample aisle, I’m gonna need some help to carry them all.
Din: Cara why
Cara: Because
Cara: I want to tape them all over the walls of my room.
Evaan: We should probably figure out who’s here to cause chaos and who’s here to buy stuff to help fix the wall.
Leia: Why are there little boxes on wheels everywhere?
Anakin: Padmé said those are called shopping carts.
Kaydel: ...are any of you thinking what I’m thinking?
Fennec: YES
Anakin: I’M IN
Han: oh no
Han: what?
Fennec: KAYDEL, CARA GET IN
Fennec: GUYS HELP ME PUSH THEM
Din: We’re not even inside the store yet and you guys want to break something.
Cara: I’M GOING OFF THE RAILS ON A CRAZY TRAIN
Armitage: Alright move over ladies let me in
Kaydel: No.
Kaydel: Get your own shopping cart.
Armitage: …
Rey: no
Rey: no way
Rey: absolutely not
Rey: I’m not pushing you.
Armitage: …
Ben: Neither am I.
Armitage: please?
Evaan: I want to ride in the cart.
Armitage: There’s enough room for two people, but we still need someone to push us.
Ben: no.
Rey: you’re terrible at puppy dog eyes by the way
Armitage: 🥺
Evaan: 🥺
Ben: they’re evolving
Rey: ONE time.
Rey: Just one.
Ben: ...fine.
Fennec: FIRST ONE TO THE DOORS WINS!
Din: WAIT NO ALL OF YOU STOP NOW
Din: SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE
Quinlan: I’ll bet you 15 credits that it’s Kaydel
Leia: I’ll put 10 credits on hux but only because they crash into the store’s front door
Anakin: ok I’m getting my own shopping cart
Anakin: Din can you push me in the shopping cart?
Din: Absolutely not. I want no part of this aside from earning the 30 credits I place on Anakin being the one to die.
Fennec: push yourself with the force
Anakin: Wait can I do that?
Anakin: GUYS IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!
Din: you just crashed into someone’s car
Din: now we’re going to be killed by Padmé, Ahsoka, and the owner of that poor car.
Fennec: Alright Han can you be the referee?
Han: Sure.
Han: 3…
Han: 2…
Han: 1…
Han: GO!!!!!
Din: oh my god
Leia: why is this actually entertaining?
Quinlan: FASTER, YOU’RE NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH TO KILL ANYONE YET
Anakin: I HAVE FOUND A POWER FAR GREATER THAN THE HIGH GROUND
Anakin: I HAVE ACHIEVED THE RANK OF SHOPPING CART MASTER
Rey: GUYS IF YOU LEAN FORWARD MAYBE IT’LL GO FASTER
Ben: I DON’T THINK THAT’S HOW IT WORKS BUT OK
Cara: FENNEC PUSH FASTER
Evaan: WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE
Din: Anakin is going to kill someone
Anakin: THE FORCE IS TERRIBLE AT STEERING
Din: YOU’VE WRECKED EIGHT CARS
Cara: Ok I’m jumping into Anakin’s to knock him off course
Armitage; To be fair, you can’t get much more off course than he already is.
Cara: Good point I’m jumping into yours now.
Armitage: waIT NO NO NO CARA STOP
Evaan: GUYS PUSH FASTER SHE’S TRYING TO JUMP IN HERE
Ben: HOW MUCH FURTHER UNTIL WE GET TO THE DOORS!?!
Evaan: like fifteen meters oh force we’re all gonna die
Quinlan: There are people watching us, should we be scared?
Leia: Of course not.
Leia: Probably.
Din: GUYS STOP YOU’RE ALL GONNA CRASH
Armitage: QUINLAN OPEN THE DOORS
Quinlan: HOW
Armitage: I DUNNO, WITH THE FORCE, MAYBE?
Quinlan: oh
Fennec: STOP STOP STOP THERE’S A WALL
Kaydel: YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S DRIVING
Fennec: OH YEAH I FORGOT
Din: Oh thank the force
Leia: Oml what happened and what was that insanely loud screech
Din: They all managed to stop but the wheels on the wheely-boxes made a loud noise.
Rey: w h e e l y b o x e s
Fennec: l e t s r a c e w h e e l y b o x e s a g a i n
Din: I hate you both.
Leia: What was that insanely loud crash which was then followed by another insanely loud screech?
Armitage: That was Anakin crashing into a giant stack of boxes and then screeching loudly.
Leia: yea i probably should’ve guessed that one
Din: Does this mean I get 30 credits? I mean, he’s still alive, but…
Quinlan: I’ll give you 20 credits and a cheese stick.
Din: That’s fair.
Chapter 27: Adventures in Home Depot
Notes:

...i have nothing to say for myself.Hope you’re having a better day than these poor Home Depot employees 🙃
Chapter Text
Quinlan: I am also willing to accept bets on how long it will take for all of us to be kicked out.
Kaydel: We just walked in here.
Quinlan: Exactly.
Rey: That’s fair.
Rey: I’m not betting, but I’d give it five minutes before one of us is kicked out. Idk how long it’ll take for all of us to be banned though.
Evaan: I’ll give us less than an hour, I’m gonna go build a bunker out of those huge boxes over there so I don’t die when you all do something stupid.
Quinlan: I may end up joining you later.
Evaan: I’ll make sure there’s room for at least three of us.
Fennec: Well imma go find a wall.
Rey: I...I’m gonna make sure she doesn’t actually attempt to buy a wall.
Armitage: We should’ve brought Rose with us, she would actually know how to fix this.
Kaydel- I think she’s helping to look for Morai.
Han: Did we think this through at all?
Cara: Of course not, why?
Han: …
Han: Wait where are you?
Cara: Paint section.
Han: Oh yea, stealing the colors.
Cara: BORROWING FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME, THANK YOU
Cara: NOW PLEASE STOP TEXTING
Din: Cara Update: she’s now flirting with the lady working next to the paint samples.
Ben: ...I’m afraid to ask why, but somebody has to.
Din: Because I refused to.
Ben: again, WHY
Din: She”s trying to distract the lady so she leaves.
Din: And now they’re exchanging numbers.
Din: Wow she’s good at this.
Fennec: SEE CARA YOU DON'T EVEN NEED MY PHONE FOR TINDER
Din: give it a minute, she’s finishing up her distraction tactics.
Cara: Hey Fennec, can you drop me off at the cute coffee place we passed on the way here at about this time tomorrow? I’ve got a date.
Fennec: With the Home Depot lady? Wow, that was fast.
Cara: ??? No, with u.
Fennec: …
Anakin: did anyone else hear what I just heard because-
Leia: shut up Anakin they’re having a moment.
Cara: i mean unless u don’t wanna go cause i invited melinda she said she would be ok with being a third wheel but
Fennec: Yes.
Cara: What?
Fennec: yes :)
Cara: Yes? As in yes you’ll go?
Fennec: Yes! 🖤
Cara: YES!
Leia: So we’re all invited to the wedding, right?
Fennec: haha no wedding yet
Cara: well, you were right about one thing, Fennec.
Fennec: just one?
Cara: Ok so multiple, fair point.
Cara: but anyway, u were right about one thing…
Cara: I didn’t need your phone for Tinder.
Din: ...Cara, we’re gonna have to work on your game.
Cara: says the guy who flies around the galaxy in a trash can with wings, trying to find a teacher for his adopted wizard child with anger issues.
Din: ...don’t you dare bring my child into this, you rebel scum.
Evaan: ...what happened, I put down my phone for TWO MINUTES and suddenly you guys are gonna murder each other.
Evaan: ..wait are you absolutely sure that Melinda is ok with being the third wheel for you two?
Cara: It’s a double date? Melinda and Melinda. And me and Fennec!
Quinlan: No, Cara-
Kaydel: Don’t correct her, I wanna see how this turns out.
Anakin: GUYS LOOK I FOUND A WALL!!!!!
Armitage: Yes Anakin, there’s four of them. They make up something called a building.
Armitage: Congratulations.
Anakin: Does anyone here actually know how to fix a wall tho?
Armitage: Good point, no.
Anakin: Let’s just st- borrow this one for an undetermined amount of time.
Ben: I feel like this whole ‘borrowing’ thing is getting out of hand.
Armitage: It definitely has, but I’m not stopping them.
Din: Weren’t you one of the people who signed up because you were helping me STOP the chaos?
Armitage: yes but
Armitage: i don’t see you stopping them either
Din: …
Anakin: OK SO THERE’S 5 PEOPLE HERE WITH LIGHTSABERS, I’M GOING TO NEED AT LEAST THREE OF THEM TO HELP ME BORROW THIS WALL
Anakin: ALSO A COUPLE WHEELYBOXES TO CARRY IT OUT
Leia: oh no
Leia: I look away from Anakin for ONE SECOND…
Din: Don’t worry, I’ve been there too
Din: CARA PUT THAT DOWN
Cara: NO!
Din: NO TOUCHING THOSE
Cara: I CAN TOUCH THEM IF I WANT TO, LEAVE ME ALONE
Din: She is literally worse than Grogu.
Cara: Hey Din can you help me carry these paint samples?
Din: We’re probably gonna need a wheelybox.
Cara: ...probably two.
Din: Mk I think there’s some over by the display of those long circular things with sharp edges.
Cara: The green ones?
Din: Yea
Evaan: An update on the betting: Rey, you’re at 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
Rey: Kaydel and Han just started dueling with pipes, also I’m not betting.
Fennec: I swear you guys will find any occasion to start dueling.
Kaydel: HE JUST INSULTED MY KNOWLEDGE OF WASHING MACHINES
Fennec: …
Rey: Don’t worry, this is a thing she does.
Armitage: I have video evidence to back up that statement.
Ben: So you’re saying they’re now dueling on top of washing machines...because of washing machines?
Rey: Look, Kaydel has a lot of random knowledge.
Armitage: Ahhh yes, *that* friend. We have one of those too.
Armitage: Mitaka knows far too much about insects and knitting.
Leia: ...excuse me did you say knitting ?!
Armitage: yep
Ben: We are a complete and utter disappointment to the Empire.
Leia: Very much so.
Leia: You guys take over the galaxy in the future???
Armitage: Yea basically.
Leia: Surprising, but okay.
Armitage: Rey, Kaydel, this is the part where you guys back us up.
Kaydel: No thanks, I just met you guys like three weeks ago.
Rey: I’m helping Evaan with something.
Armitage: pls
Rey: no
Ben: seriously?
Rey: give me like 30 seconds ok
Ben: k
Leia: I’m still waiting for someone to explain how those two ended up ruling the galaxy.
Rey: oh that’s what you guys needed?
Rey: tbh i have no idea but there was this annoying raisin guy involved
Rey: he’s dead now
Rey: but anyway i actually don’t know how the FO took over
Ben: that was really not helpful
Rey: I wasn’t even there when the FO took over ok
Ben: fine
Ben: Kaydel can u help us out?
Kaydel: naw i gotta beat Han
Armitage: … just don’t stab him 😜
Ben: I hate all of you so so much.
Evaan: *grabs popcorn* I WANNA SEE WHERE THIS GOES
Din: We have acquired the wheelyboxes.
Cara: Let’s acquire some paint samples then.
Din: I’m not a part of this, I’m just helping to push the wheelyboxes.
Fennec: guilty by association.
Fennec: I think.
Fennec: I don’t pay attention to the law unless I’m breaking it.
Quinlan: Yea that’s fair.
Quinlan: GUYS GUYS GUYS WE ARE AT 4 MINUTES AND 26 SECONDS AND ONE OF THE ORANGE PEOPLE IS YELLING AT KAYDEL AND HAN
Kaydel: she complimented my fighting skills
Kaydel: AT LEAST SOMEONE APPRECIATES MY WASHING MACHINE KNOWLEDGE
Han: She kicked me out.
Han: Imma go wait in the bus.
Armitage: *whispers* well, at least nobody’s getting stabbed
Ben: I don’t know, day’s not over yet.
Ben: in other words, shut up or you’re next
Armitage: noted. I’m just gonna go chill with Evaan.
Quinlan: So have we acquired the wall yet?
Cara: We have one and a half wheelyboxes full of paint samples.
Din: You have one and a half wheelyboxes full of paint samples.
Quinlan: So no.
Anakin: GUYS I NEED HELP
Quinlan: OK SO ANYONE WITH A LIGHTSABER MEET UP BY ANAKIN
Ben: I’m also going to hide with Evaan.
Evaan: *sips caf* I’m just watching this unfold.
Leia: How much of the wall do we need to borrow?
Quinlan: I wrote down the dimensions, gimme a minute to find the paper…
Fennec: I don’t think it’s humanly possible to read that writing.
Quinlan: Look, writing isn’t one of the classes you can take at the Jedi Temple.
Anakin: Quinlan, that looks like you dipped a tooka cat in ink and then let it walk all over your paper.
Quinlan: That was oddly specific.
Anakin: There was ink EVERYWHERE
Quinlan: Anakin-
Quinlan: no wonder they stopped letting us bring ink into the temple
Leia: …
Ben: We’re the disappointments?
Leia: I am the only sane person in this family.
Rey: And Padmé.
Ben: and rey
Kaydel: 👀
Armitage: 👀
Fennec: at least invite me to the wedding pls
Chapter 28: Karaoke + thievery + washing machines = ...um
Notes:
Lack of sleep and time ended up producing this chapter...apologies if it’s all over the place.
Chapter Text
Cara: 🎵EVERYTHING IS BLUEEEEEEEE🎵
Din: You’ll never guess which color of the rainbow we’ve reached.
Cara: 🎵AND NOW I’M COVERED IN THE COLORS🎵
Cara: 🎵PULL APART AT THE SEAMS🎵
Fennec: How many wheelyboxes have you filled so far?
Din: Two. She just started filling the third one.
Quinlan: I just want all of you to know that I’ve been videoing all of this.
Rey: I don’t have enough energy to deal with that problem right now.
Fennec: Don’t call it a problem or we’ll be over the limit.
Rey: Mk
Evaan: What was the limit?
Fennec: Eight.
Evaan: We’re wayyyyyyy over the limit at this point.
Leia: I don’t see you doing anything about it.
Evaan: I wasn’t complaining, I was observing.
Evaan: *sips caf*
Anakin: EXCUSE ME, WHERE DID YOU FIND CAF?!?!?!
Fennec: Ok but even I know that caf for Anakin is a bad idea.
Quinlan: So...the wall?
Anakin: oh yea
Anakin: I’ll take this half if you get that half.
Rey: How...how are we carrying said wall?
Fennec: Use the force or something.
Ben: ...That’s not how the force works
Din: Well we have some spare wheelyboxes you guys can use.
Armitage: ...of course you do.
Han: Can you guys speed this up, I’m waiting for you on the bus.
Kaydel: HAHA CAUSE YOU GOT BANNED
Evaan: does anyone know where i can find sugar cause this caf tastes terrible
Kaydel: idk im literally curled up in a washing machine right now
Kaydel: an ocean washing machine by the looks of it
Ben: …
Rey: Like I said. She has a lot of random knowledge.
Evaan: Can I join you?
Kaydel: I can try to make room.
Evaan: LET’S PRETEND ITSA PIRATE SHIP
Evaan: BECAUSE IT’S AN OCEAN WASHING MACHINE
Armitage: ..um?
Armitag: I don’t even know how to respond to this.
Kaydel: 🎵SOON MAY THE WELLERMAN COME
Evaan: TO BRING US SUGAR AND TEA AND RUM
Kaydel: ONE DAY WHEN THE TOUNGIN IS DONE
Evaan: WE’LL TAKE OUR LEAVE AND GO🎵
Han: I’m very confused.
Fennec: There’s only one way to respond to this.
Fennec: Cara?
Cara: I got you 🖤
Fennec: 🎵She had not been two weeks from shore
Cara: When down on her a right whale bore
Fennec: The captain called all hands and swore
Cara: He’d take that whale in tow!🎵
Armitage: I love how we all know the lyrics.
Quinlan: How could any of us NOT know the lyrics? Jyn and Anakin insisted on playing it for FOUR. HOURS. STRAIGHT.
Armitage: Ben. Help me with something real quick.
Ben: I’m not joining the washing machine battlefield.
Armitage: ...Rey?
Rey: I can’t believe I’m doing this.
Rey: 🎵Soon may the Wellerman come
Armitage: To bring us 🍭 and ☕️ and 🍺
Rey: One day when the toungin is done
Armitage: We’ll take our 🍁and 6️⃣🅾️🎵
Rey: Ok apparently I gotta go help Anakin steal a wall now so find someone else to sing 😊👍
Anakin: BORROW FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Rey: Yea, that.
Quinlan: We’re about halfway through the wall.
Quinlan: Hey Fennec, can the bus carry this much weight?
Fennec: Remember what I said earlier?
Quinlan: You have no map skills?
Fennec: ...before that.
Quinlan: Cara isn’t allowed to use your phone for Tinder anymore?
Fennec: after that
Quinlan: ……..well there was an extremely long rant about your mom insults?
Fennec: I TOLD YOU I MODIFIED THE BUS
Quinlan: Ohhhhhh
Quinlan: See, you talk a lot, so I had a lot of things to choose from.
Fennec: So yes, the bus can carry the wall. The question is can we carry the wall?
Cara: Wheelyboxes.
Anakin: I think we agreed on a combination of wheelyboxes and the force.
Leia: ...good to know.

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Cara: WE HAVE ACQUIRED ALL OF THE COLORS
Cara: I AM THE MASTER OF THE RAINBOW
Anakin: YEA? WELL WE HAVE ACQUIRED A WALL
Anakin: SO FIGHT ME
Cara: ALRIGHT, SQUARE UP
Anakin: woah woah woah we seem to be getting ahead of ourselves
Quinlan: We would literally have to carry pieces of Anakin back to the compounds.
Din: Without a doubt. Cara would crush him.
Leia: We need help carrying the wall.
Kaydel: Wait, Leia joined the chaos!?
Leia: Reluctantly.
Leia: Technically I’m not even touching the wall, so no crime.
Ben: I just want to say that I’m against this and do not support the borrowing of this wall.
Fennec: They’re a utility store, they’ll know how to fix it.
Rey: That’s not…
Rey: Fennec, we just stole a part of their wall, the question is not ‘will they be able to fix it?’ It’s ‘will they kill us for CUTTING A HOLE IN THEIR STORE?!?!’
Din: I knew I liked you for a reason.
Din: you have to be the one single person who’s tried to help me stop her so far.
Rey: she’s gonna keep doing it either way
Din: I know, but it’s nice to see people trying.
Evaan: Is it safe to exit the washing machine?
Armitage: Depends on how you’d define ‘safe’.
Evaan: oh force
Armitage: there’s literally a huge chunk of the wall floating through the store right now.
Armitage: Fennec and Cara and Din and Kaydel and I are clearing the way so no one gets run over.
Evaan: Ok so if you guys are taking precautions not to run anyone over, I’d deem that safer than our compounds.
Quinlan: I’d deem that correct.
Anakin: what is deem and why do i like saying it
Ben: oh my god i can’t believe i actually looked up to you
Armitage: I can
Rey: I can
Kaydel: I can
Anakin: I can’t.
Leia: guys we’re gonna have to go through this weird thing called checkout.
Evaan: wait don’t we just go up to the owner and pay them?
Cara: WE’D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER
Kaydel: *whispers* Karen.
Cara: It’s Cara, but what do you want?
Kaydel: …
Armitage: Cara-n
Din: I do not understand this humor.
Fennec: It’s next generation humor, Din. You’re too old to understand.
Din: …
Din: no u
Evaan: Wait, guys, is no u a palindrome?
Quinlan: ...holy force, Evaan just broke language.
Leia: PEOPLE! CHECKOUT!
Anakin: Just point us in the general direction and we’ll try not to crash.
Quinlan: Ok I’ll run ahead and see where she’s pointing.
Rey: WAIT NO THE WALL’S GONNA FALL
Quinlan: I will run ahead a short distance so I can still help carry the floating wall.
Quinlan: GUYS GUYS GUYS GUESS WHO I JUST MET AT THE CHECKOUT
Din: Padmé?
Ben: Ahsoka?
Quinlan: Ok so first of all why would they lie to us about where they work?
Ben: They wouldn’t, but everyone you know is probably dead in our time.
Din: Yea, basically.
Quinlan: oh
Quinlan: ANAKIN, GUESS WHO I JUST MET AT CHECKOUT
Anakin: Sabé?
Quinlan: No.
Anakin: Cody?
Quinlan: Nope.
Anakin: ..Cara’s friend Melinda?
Quinlan: Yea Imma just tell u.
Quinlan: HUNTER
Quinlan: FROM CLONE FORCE 99
Anakin: WAIT REALLY
Quinlan: YES
Quinlan: Ok gimme a sec he’s staring at me weirdly.
Quinlan invited Hunter
Hunter: Could someone please explain what’s going on?
Hunter: Why are we texting instead of talking?
Quinlan: ...We’re gonna have company in a few seconds.
Hunter: wait wait kind of com- WHAT DID YOU DO
Anakin: HI!
Hunter: Hey, I wondered what happened to you! Never expected anything like this, but...well.
Anakin: How’d you end up here?
Hunter: Our ship crashed while we were running from the Empire.
Leia: Running from the Empire? But...Order 66?
Hunter: Didn’t work. We tried staying off the Empire’s radar for a while, but we’ve been stuck here for a few months now.
Evaan: Same here!
Hunter: Nice. Also...who are you?
Din: Uh…that’s gonna take some explaining.
Notes:
AYYYYY, GUESS WHO’S JOINING THIS MESS OF A CAST: THE BAD BATCH!!!
If anyone has a specific Bad Batch character they want to see, pls let me know!
Chapter 30: I spent so much energy writing this chapter that there is no creativity left for titling it
Chapter Text
Hunter: ...so you guys are telling me that you were literally pulled out of time and somehow brought here to this random planet where Jedi, Sith, all that fighting, etc...does not exist?
Din: Yes, basically.
Hunter: And some of you are related?
Ben: Unfortunately.
Hunter: And there are MORE of you?
Quinlan: At Area 51!!!
Hunter: And...you have a modified bus.
Fennec: YES
Fennec: SHE IS MINE AND I LOVE HER
Cara: ...i thought you loved me 🥺
Fennec: I thought that was a given.
Cara: 🥲
Han: GUYS I’M STILL ON THE BUS, PLS STOP STANDING AROUND AND CHATTING
Evaan: Sorry
Anakin: not really
Leia: Hey, would you guys wanna come back to the compounds with us?
Hunter: Sure, I can grab the crew. Everyone’s bored here anyway.
Hunter: It’s way too orange here.
Armitage: It might be a little crowded.
Fennec: Half of the people in our compounds need an excuse to sleep with someone else, it definitely won’t be crowded.
Armitage: Yes but how much of the base has burned down so far?
Fennec: Ohhhhhh yea, I forgot about the whole thing with the cookies for a minute.
Rey: Did they at least burn by the time we left?
Anakin: Nope. They were just starting to burn a little bit.
Rey: Remind me to never let Anakin cook. Ever.
Leia: Great, I’ll remind you when we have the FBI over for dinner and have to explain why we borrowed a wall and burned down the other three walls of the compound anyway.
Rey: That’s fair.
Hunter: you guys.. are being tracked by the FBI?
Cara: I’m friends with Fennec’s FBI agent!
Hunter: Sounds illegal.
Hunter: We’re in.
Hunter: I’ll go round up the crew, you guys might wanna work on getting the wall out to your bus.
Quinlan: Will do, thanks bro.
Quinlan: Alright, so now that that’s over with, how are we going to fit Cara’s colors in the bus?
Fennec: well…
Din: Can I say it this time?
Fennec: Sure.
Din: MoDiFiCaTiOnS
Din: That was surprisingly satisfying.
Quinlan: And what do these modifications entail?
Fennec: Secret compartments.
Cara: SECRET COLOR COMPARTMENTS
Cara: YES
Ben: Where are we putting the colors when we get back to the base?
Cara: My room, obviously.
Ben: oh ok
Din: I can assist with that, it’s the first thing she’s tried to do all day that’s not violent or illegal.
Leia: So are we just putting the wall on top of the bus, or-
Anakin: Sure, why not?
Leia: ...many reasons
Quinlan: Props to Fennec’s modifications, because this bus just held a wall that took like 6 Jedi to lift.
Leia: Actually I’m not a Jedi.
Ben: Same.
Rey: ...it’s debatable???
Quinlan: …*two Jedi and a bunch of random indecisive people
Fennec: GUYS I THINK THOSE EMPLOYEES ARE HEADED OUR WAY
Cara: HOLY FORCE THEY'VE SENT THE ENTIRE ORANGE ARMY
Fennec: Anakin, your friends better get here soon or we’re gonna be in even deeper trouble than normal…
Anakin: Don’t worry, they’re just like us.
Anakin: They will arrive creatively, destructively, and at the last possible second.
Din: I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
Armitage: Look on the bright side, Din. There’ll be more chaos-causing idiots for you to yell at and attempt to control.
Armitage: Keyword being attempt.
Din: nONONONONO-
Cara: TOO LATE THEY’RE COMING!!!!!
Evaan: Now THAT is a dramatic entrance.
Di: I don’t even want to know.
Han: They just crashed through a window on a firework-powered sled.
Fennec: yea, they’re gonna fit in real nicely here.
Kaydel: I don’t think they’re gonna make it…
Rey: They just rocketed over the orange army, or whatever we’re calling that.
Rey: They’ll be fine.
Kaydel: Yea, but will we?
Fennec: OH MY GOD THEY'RE GONNA CRASH INTO MY BUS!!!!!!
Anakin: PROTECT THE BUS
Ben: I think the bus will be fine, if it can hold an entire wall. And us.
Ben: and all the chaos we bring onto it.
Hunter: We have arrived!
Din: ok I really don’t want to be impressed by anything you idiots do, but they just timed that so they slid to a perfect stop, RIGHT in front of the bus door.
Din: ...woah.
Hunter invited The Bad Batch
Wrecker: This is the group we’re joining up with?
Echo: Any of you Imps?
Fennec: Woah woah woah, put the blaster down buddy-
Tech: None of them seem to be Imperial, though two seem to be from a possible future version of our generation’s Empire, if what Hunter said about people from the future being true.
Wrecker: nice, nice, really nice, THERE’S ANOTHER EMPIRE!?!?!
Rey: …
Armitage: …
Tech: Actually, I’m not surprised. Judging by the amounts of weapons and rebels each planet we’ve seen so far possess, it’s not unlikely that the Empire eventually manages to stamp them out and evolve.
Leia: Hey! 😡
Han: sadly, I have no idea how the war ends, though I do live long enough to be murdered by my child.
Han: so presumably, we win.
Kaydel: …at this point I don’t even know what’s taboo and what’s not
Evaan: Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Han just used the word presumably, because I didn’t know he could speak more than just monosyllabic words.
Hana: mono….what now?
Evaan: I take that back.
Evaan: please disregard the former message 🤗
Hunter: So, where are we headed, Jedi, indecisive people, bounty hunters, and rebels?
Fennec: Strap in. It’s time to see if there’s even a base to go back to.
Chapter 31: fire-fighting (ft. celine dion)
Chapter Text
Fennec: Holy force.
Fennec: it’s...still intact.
Din: THIS is intact????
Hunter: Am I seeing things, or is there a literal hole in your supposedly intact base?
Ben: It’s...it’s a long story.
Anakin: Why else would we be stealing a wall?
Hunter: ...because you’re Anakin? And that’s just something you would do?
Evaan: that’s fair
Leia: so I’m starting to think I got all my genes from my mom-
Armitage: Is that scientifically possible?
Leia: when Anakin’s involved, normal rules and limitations do not exist
Armitage: Fair, fair.
Wrecker: So you guys all live here?
Din: Us, and also another large group of people with varying amounts of brain cells.
Tech: That sounds concerning.
Din: I have seen things no other being has seen.
Din: Things I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
Din: Actually, I take that back, there was that time Gideon kidnapped my son. But you get the idea.
Echo: interesting?
Rey: everyone here has some sort of tragic backstory.
Fennec: I died!
Han: I get murdered in the future!
Leia: I’m related to Anakin, and I think that’s the most tragic thing that’s happened to me.
Quinlan: my gf died but it’s all good cause she’s here at the compounds
Kaydel: actually I’m pretty much fine-
Evaan: *everyone here except Kaydel has some sort of tragic backstory
Tech: Would any of you like to explain the fire emanating from the partially demolished building?
Quinlan: ...no, not really
Anakin: It’s fire emanating from a partially demolished building. Does it really need an explanation?
Tech: ...no. Not really.
Fennec: alRIGHT, ALL YOU INDECISIVE FORCE-USING PEOPLE, GET THE WALL IN PLACE BEFORE PADMÉ GETS HOME!
Rey: you really didn’t have to yell, we’re all right here
Fennec: CAPS LOCK SORRY
Rey:
Quinlan: So should we...go inside???
Ben: Probably, but...that’s a disturbing amount of fire.
Anakin: Well I’m heading inside to check on my cookies, you guys have fun.
Hunter: c o o k i e s
Hunter: THIS IS ALL BECAUSE ANAKIN MADE COOKIES?!?!
Leia: Embarrassingly enough, yes.
Hunter: Oh no wonder the whole place is on fire. Anakin can’t bake to save his life!
Anakin: Hey! You don’t have to out me in front of everyone…
Ben: I’m just gonna help with the wall, and then I’m done with all of you.
Han: That’s fair.
Han: I might join you.
Ben:
Kaydel:
Armitage:
Armitage: Then I suppose I should join you just to be careful.
Cara: I’m heading to my room, color time!
Evaan: ...is everyone just ignoring the RAGING FIRE?!
Din: Assistance has arrived.
Din: I found a hose in Fennec’s storage compartments.
Din: Step aside, amateurs.
Cara: …
Cara: din really just walked up here with a huge hose and said ‘splish splash, bxtches’
Din: Objection, I stopped cursing after I adopted the child.
Din: For the most part.
Anakin: NOOOOO YOU’RE WATERLOGGING MY COOKIES-
Rey: I think we’ve all decided to value our safety and continued lodging over your cookies.
Fennec: That’s debatable, I’m hungry.
Evaan: I...I have an orange…
Fennec: M A G I C F R U I T
Kaydel: A L L H A I L
Quinlan: Oh, not again-
Echo: nobody ever say that word again, ever
Echo: I’ve had enough of the color orange to last quite a few lifetimes.
Quinlan: Well you’re gonna hate it here because Evaan has an orange addiction.
Evaan: It’s not an addiction! I can stop at any time!
Quinlan: You brought one with you on a TEN MINUTE TRIP
Evaan: Only cause I knew you idiots were gonna mess something up and inevitably make the the trip last a LOT longer.
Quinlan: ...fair.
Han: Bold of you to assume you're not one of said idiots.
Evaan: Oh I most definitely am, just slightly less so than, say...you.
Evaan: Actually no, I’m a lot less of an idiot than you, but you get the point.
Din: So the fires are basically out...and the government had the foresight to fireproof everything, which is smart considering
everything we get up to…
Din: The base is actually pretty much fine, minus the fact that it’s slightly scorched.
Din: Also, the kitchen in the guys’ compound did not survive.
Anakin: YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED, DEAR KITCHEN
Ben: oh no
Armitage: ‘oh no’????? ‘oh no’ what????
Ben: just wait
Rey: Did you just pull a RECORDER out of your-
Anakin: YOOOOOOOOU’RE HERE
Anakin: THERE’S NOOOOOTHING I FEAR
Anakin: AND I KNOOOW THAT MY HEART WILL GO OOOOOOON
Anakin: WEEEEEE’LL STAYYY FOREVER THIS WAY
Anakin: YOU ARE SAFE IN MY HEART AND
Anakin: MY HEART WILL GO ON AND OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN
Echo: And we’re just...not gonna question that….?
Leia: So I definitely didn’t get my musical talent from my paternal side.
Rey: I dunno...the fact that Anakin managed to conceal an entire recorder in his clothing is quite impressive.
Leia: Rey, that’s prowess in thievery, not music.
Han: too many big words
Han: do not compute
Ben: So apparently Leia’s not the only one who got no genes from their father.
Armitage: Debatable, you’re both varying levels of stupidity.
Fennec: Alright, we get it. He’s an idiot, you’re an idiot, we’re all idiots. Let’s just go inside.
Fennec: i wanna eat cookies
Chapter 32: the return of ahsoka...
Chapter Text
Rey: Hi it’s Anakin.
Padmé: Oh no. What did he do now?
Rey: No, it’s Anakin. I stole Rey’s phone.
Padmé: Oh no. What did you do now?
Rey: Okay hi it’s Rey. I stole the phone back, and I’m hiding in my new room.
Padmé: ...new room? Oh no.
Rey: uh-
Padmé: Please tell me Evaan didn’t start one of those sorority things she was talking about-
Rey: Haha no, don’t worry, that hasn’t happened yet! 😅
Padmé: Ok good. So why are you texting me while I’m at work?
Rey: I have been elected to tell you some big, life-changing news. Per usual.
Padmé: Ok. Hit me.
Rey: So we made an emergency trip to the hardware store, for...reasons.
Padmé: wHAT DID YOU BREAK?!
Rey: We didn’t break anything!!!
Rey: Cara needed...stuff.
Rey: Paint samples.
Padmé: You made an emergency trip to a hardware store for Cara to steal paint samples?
Rey: ...yes.
Padmé: Ok, what’s the big news then?
Padmé: Because there’s no way it ended there.
Rey: so we kind of like adopted people
Padmé: Why am I not surprised.
Rey: Anakin ran into some old friends. They call themselves the Bad Batch?
Padmé: Oh them! Yea, we know them. They’re cool.
Padmé: So we adopted them?
Rey: Yea, basically.
Padmé: What about sleeping arrangements?
Rey: ...those are being figured out.
Padmé: ohhhhhhhhh no
Rey: The vote has you roomed with Anakin.
Rey: Cara and Fennec are sharing with Kaydel and Zorii.
Rey: Jyn and Cassian got paired up, Maul and Obi-Wan somehow ended up in the same room, but Ezra will be sharing with them to make sure nobody dies...Mitaka’s sharing with Finn and Poe...and Leia and Evaan and Jannah and Asajj are sharing a room, so you may have to worry about that sorority thing.
Padmé: Wait wait wait, that’s wayyyy more shared rooms than the batch needs.
Rey: Yea, but a lot of people needed excuses to sleep with other people, so…
Padmé: Maul and Obi-Wan and Ezra???
Rey: No, that was just the voting pool being sadistic. I think.
Rey: Din’s considering moving in with them to make sure nothing gets too out of control, but I think he’s gonna end up next to Cara’s room with Luke, cause she and Fennec are...a lot.
Rey: You’re welcome, by the way. Evaan was considering recruiting you into her girl power team thing. I vouched for you and Anakin.
Padmé: thank the force
Padmé: Evaan can be scary
Padmé: Should I expect any other unexpected chaos when I get home?
Rey: ...yes. Yes, you should.
Rey left the chat
***
Fennec: GUYS COME CHECK OUT THE KITCHEN
Quinlan: please tell me the cookies did not survive that fire
Fennec: THEY DIDN’T BUT I FOUND SOME BOXED MAC N’ CHEESE
Evaan: Ooh! Who wants lunch?
Din: ….We have no way of cooking the Mac n’ Cheese.
Fennec: Who said we were cooking it?
Din: ...you know what, i’m done. i’ve made my helpful contributions to the group for today. i’m going to go hide in my room and question what my life has become.
Jyn: HONEY I’M HOME
Kaydel: W-what-
Ezra: We have recovered the bird!
Kaydel: B-bird???
Ezra: ...Morai went missing, remember? During the TED Talk?
Din: i have seen things no mortal should be forced to see
Din: they had a rap battle on top of washing machines
Din: i forgot the bird even existed
Evaan: I forgot you guys existed. We’ve been busy.
Leia: Han managed to get kicked out of the hardware store. But we did get the wall!
Leia: Oh yeah, and we adopted more people.
Ezra: MORE?
Tech: Hello
Hunter: Hey
Wrecker: Hi?
Rose: We have enough rooms in the compounds to fit them, right?
Rey: ...we’re figuring that one out.
Rose: should i be terrified
Anakin: very
Cassian: Do we get a say in these sleeping arrangements?
Anakin: Sort of.
Cassian: So no?
Anakin: So no.
Jyn: Hey guys where should we put Morai?
Jyn: I’m not exactly interested in invoking the wrath of Ahsoka today.
Ben: I think Ahsoka’s in the same room she already uses.
Evaan: Yea nobody wants to share with Morai
Rose: Stop insulting the bird, she can hear you 🥲
Evaan: ...nice.
Ezra: Guys Ahsoka is gonna be home in like five minutes and I can’t remember where her room is
Fennec: t h i s i s t h e w a y
Din: ...i am done with all of you
Asajj: Nobody speaks a word of this to Ashoka, understood?
Jyn: Aye aye, captain
Leia: GUYS AHSOKA’S HOME
Ezra: ADKSHFADSKJFDSAJKLFD DISTRACT HER
Ezra: WE CAN’T GET THE BIRD CAGE OPEN
Cara: YOU’RE GONNA DIE
Ezra: I KNOW I KNOW STOP YELLING
Cara: I WAS TALKING TO DIN, HE’S HELPING ME PUT THE COLORS ON MY WALL
Cara: HE ALMOST FELL OFF THE BED
Cara: *He almost fell off the bed (caps lock haha)
Ahsoka hey guys i’m home
Ahsoka: Today was CRAZY
Ben: ...you don’t say.
Cassian: Same here, Ahsoka. Same here.
Ahsoka: I’m guessing it’s Anakin’s fault this place looks crispy?
Ahsoka: The outside, at least. Apparently they planned ahead and fireproofed the whole place.
Ahsoka: Probably smart, considering the things we do.
Ezra: They should’ve thought even farther ahead and soundproofed the room everyone uses for karaoke 😩
Fennec: How dare you-
Anakin: *whispers* they should’ve thought even farther ahead than that and sprayed insect repellent in obi-wan’s room
Obi-Wan: *whispers* spiders aren’t insects
Anakin: *whisper-yells* yes they are!
Obi-Wan: *whispers* no they’re not, they’re arachnids
Kaydel: *normal speaking voice* Know thy enemy.
Ahsoka: So what did you guys do all day while I was gone?
Din: they adopted more people and we took a trip to the hardware store after fennec broke the wall and anakin tried baking cookies
Ahsoka: Ahhhh, so that’s why the entire exterior of the compounds is crispy.
Ahsoka: Anything else? You guys look really out of breath.
Ahsoka: well, at least some of you do
Rose: …
Jyn: …
Mitaka: ….
Ezra: O_o
Ezra: We were just running around a lot today
Ahsoka: Nice.
Ahsoka: Padmé texted and said she’ll be home soon, Imma go check on Morai
Cassian: …
Poe: …
Asajj: …
Ahsoka: ...why are you all staring?
Ahsoka: did somebody go in my room without permission?
Ezra: N-No!
Ahsoka: …
Ezra: It...has been a very long day.
Armitage: understatement of the day but anyway-
Chapter 33: coherent titles are for beings who aren’t transcending this universe and timeline
Notes:
coherent titles are for beings who aren’t transcending this universe and timeline. Also, there’s no one defining goal in this chapter aside from making you smile or laugh :)
Welcoming in the new year with some good old-fashioned Star Wars chaos. Hopefully 2022 brings nowhere near as much property damage and need for a caf.
Chapter Text
Padmé: Honey, I’m home!
Anakin: Hey Padmé! We missed you!
Leia: Hi mom
Cara: I don’t recall us as being on ‘honey’ terms, but I’m gonna respond to this message anyway
Jyn: Is this some sort of trick?
Armitage: Hello Padmé. You missed out on quite an interesting day.
Hunter: Oh, hey Padmé. Long time no see!
Asajj: Are we just not gonna talk about the honey thing?
Ezra: I mean we all know she’s referring to Anakin
Asajj: Fair, fair.
Padmé: Honestly I just wanted to see how all of you would react.
Padmé: So...would anyone like to explain why the compounds look like Fennec’s attempt at making a microwave pizza?
Fennec: in my defense, i had no idea i set the microwave for three hours
Evaan: …
Din: I think your boyfriend knows the answer to that question.
Evaan: I’m single
Din: no not your boyfriend-
Fennec: I’m gay
Din: NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND EITHER
Din: I’M TALKING ABOUT ANAKIN
Padmé: Anakin...what did you do now???
Anakin: I made cookies :)
Padmé: And all of you...just thought that was a good idea? To let him make cookies unsupervised?
Ben: I mean he wasn’t entirely unsupervised, we did try to stop him… he just doesn’t listen
Evaan: it definitely runs in the family
Armitage: ...I will neither confirm nor deny this statement.
Armitage: But also oh yes, it most definitely does.
Mitaka: Well, have fun in the afterlife
Din: i HEAR LIGHTSABERS
Din: STOP WITH THE LIGHTSABERS
Leia: What about me?
Din: you can have a lightsaber, you’re nice
Leia: :D
Fennec: Padmé, wanna see our construction project?
Padmé: not if you’re excited about it
Padmé: everything you’re excited about terrifies me
Cara: As it should.
Quinlan: We...kind of broke down one of the walls with the bus.
Padmé: How do you KIND OF break down a wall???
Ahsoka: You should see it. It’s a mess.
Ahsoka: Also, I think Morai has learned how to pick locks. The lock on her cage was broken open, so just be warned… she may be able to beak into your rooms.
Ahsoka: *break into your rooms.
Cara: nah i liked beak better
Ezra: So...about the wall...it’s...a look.
Wrecker: I think it’s stylish!
Ezra: I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s nice to see that someone has confidence in our abilities.
Padmé: ….WHAT did you do?!
Padmé: I leave ONE day for a couple of hours to go to work to prove we can be functioning members of society….
Asajj: I don’t think we can be functioning members of society.
Padmé: EVIDENTLY
Ben: sorry padmé
Padmé: How did you even break the wall?!
Fennec: Well, you see…
Anakin: Fennec crashed her modified bus through the wall while I was making cookies.
Padmé: And how did you even fix the wall?!
Rey: We really didn’t.
Cassian: Yeah a bunch of the force-using people just kind of lifted it into place and we kind of shaved off some of the extra sections until it fit into the hole.
Cassian: Now it’s held together by random rubble from the first wall, Flex Seal that Wrecker stole, and a lot of hope.
Jyn: Walls are built on hope.
Din: Pretty sure walls are built on good planning and strong materials but ok we’ll get a rain check on that one
Rey: I think somebody stuck Anakin’s recorder in there too
Anakin: WAIT WHAT
Anakin: WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING
Leia:
Leia: ...not me, obviously
Padmé: I am...stunned.
Padmé: And never hiring any of you for a construction job.
Cara: A little insulting, but fair.
Ahsoka: I don’t think we should leave them home alone any more.
Padmé: It’s fine they have Din.
Ahsoka: Din isn’t working
Din: please help me
Din: i have fallen into the glue
Armitage: What glue?
Cara: We’re glueing the colors to the walls!
Cara: But Din just fell into it.
Cara: He slipped on all the paint samples on the floor.
Padmé: Din isn’t working
Din: h e l p
Poe: He’s fallen down and he can’t get up
Jyn: As riveting as this discussion is, it has come to my attention that somebody got asked out today.
Jyn: WHOMST.
Ahsoka: you guys do nothing for weeks, and then the day i finally get a job and leave the compounds, there’s all this drama
Quinlan: You had the option to go on the Area 51 road trip! You just didn’t want to!
Ahsoka: oh yeah.
Padmé: Wait wait wait, who’s dating and should I be afraid?
Armitage: Cara asked Fennec out. Very smoothly.
Anakin: Ehhhh….
Armitage: look that’s your fault because you’re the one who interrupted cara’s proposal
Jyn: So Shand and Dune are dating now?
Fennec: Well first date, but yea.
Anakin: Wait wait wait.
Anakin: Shand? Dune?
Anakin: Shand...Dune
Anakin: SAND DUNE
Din: WHY DID I JUST HEAR A LIGHTSABER IGNITE
Din: also SOMEBODY HELP, I’M STILL STUCK AND CARA ISN’T DOING ANYTHING
Rey: *sighs* I’ll be there in a minute.
Rey: Cara, please don’t stick Din to the wall in the meantime.
Cara: ...what if i said it was too late for that
Din: That was the first thing she did.
Cara: I let you keep your phone though!
Rey: ...i need a caf
Padmé: i need multiple cafs
Rey: Yes but I’ve been doing this all day.
Padmé: i’ve been stressing about leaving you idiots home alone since i got my job
Rey: date night?
Padmé: date night.
Padmé: Until then...I’ll go find glue remover. There’s gotta be one around here somewhere.
Fennec: I can drive you to a utility store to go pick some up?
Din: NO
Ben: Please don’t.
Ezra: That doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Anakin: I CALL SHOTGUN
Padmé: NO. I am not leaving these compounds unsupervised again.
Padmé: Especially if Din is stuck to a wall.
Leia: I found some glue remover in the refrigerator.
Ahsoka: ...I’m not even going to ask.
Chapter 34: ghosts, tape, refrigerators, and other everyday occurrences

Chapter Text
Padmé: Who has the glue remover?
Leia: It’s on the kitchen table
Leia: Or….what used to be the kitchen table.
Tech: It’s actually still mostly intact.
Tech: Keyword being mostly.
Ezra: ANAKIN NO GIVE IT BACK
Padmé: ...I really don’t want to ask this, but what now?
Rose: Anakin has the glue remover.
Rose: Lightsabers are being drawn.
Obi-Wan: IT’S OVER ANAKIN
Obi-Wan: I HATE THE HIGH GROUND
Fennec: yea i hate it too, sometimes it’s just the worst isn’t it?
Obi-Wan: I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND
Obi-Wan: HAND OVER THE GLUE REMOVER
Anakin: NO
Din: I HEARD SOMETHING CRASH, WHO BROKE WHAT
Tech: Your mostly intact kitchen table is no longer intact.
Din: …
Quinlan: You ok, Master Kenobi?
Obi-Wan: this is fine
Quinlan: Oh, ok. Well, in that case...back to retrieving the glue remover!
Fennec: the glue noper
Asajj: Yes. The glue noper.
Din: DON’T DESTROY ANY MORE WALLS
Din: PLEASE
Maul: Well do you have any ideas for getting the glue nope?
Padmé: just threaten him or seduce him or something
Cara: s-seduce?
Cara: i mean ok, but-
Cara: Seduce? 😏
Cara: NO WRONG EMOJI
Cara: *Seduce? 🤨
Padmé: *secure him
Armitage: Secure him where?
Armitage: Nowhere in the compounds is secure as long as we’re here
Fennec: THE REFRIGERATOR
Fennec: SECURE ANAKIN TO THE REFRIGERATOR
Padmé: PREFERABLY INTACT
Maul: Anakin, or the refrigerator?
Padmé: A N A K I N
Asajj: Sorry, no promises!
Rey: Should we...go down there?
Padmé: I’m a little scared to
Ben: Don’t come down here, they’ve found the duct tape
Poe: How? I found an excellent place to hide it!
Mitaka: You put it behind the fake plant in the girls' compound bathroom.
Poe: An EXCELLENT hiding spot!
Poe: wait how did you know
Mitaka: magic
Poe: Ugh. Well at least you guys don’t know where I hid the Flex Seal!
Padmé: The what-
Ben: You put it in the ceiling panel in the kitchen. Above the coffee machine.
Poe: …
Ben: wait
Ben: oh no
Fennec: Tahnk!
Fennec: what the-
Fennec: *Thanks!
Jyn: I HAVE ACQUIRED THE FLEX SEAL
Ben: kriff
Jyn: FLEX SEAL ANAKIN TO THE REFRIGERATOR
Padmé: WE ARE NOT GLUEING ANOTHER PERSON TO ANY PART OF THIS COMPOUND
Jyn: oh
Jyn: sorry
Cara: TO THE BOYS’ COMPOUND!!!!
Padmé: nO THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT
Hunter: I like it here!
Rey: now we should probably stop them
Din: I hear war chanting
Din: Don’t go down there or you guys will end up glued to the wall
Padmé: I...really need a caf
Mitaka: They’re carrying Anakin to the boys’ compound, and Cara has started a chant
Ben: I think this has gone beyond retrieving the glue remover.
Din: So...how about you just try pulling me off the wall again?
Din: Looks like I’m gonna be here for a loooong time…
Cassian: Ok can I please have the glue remover?
Jyn: NOT UNTIL WE PRY IT FROM ANAKIN’S COLD DEAD HANDS
Anakin: NO LET’S NOT DO THAT
Cassian: jyn no
Jyn: jyn yes
Cassian: jyn no
Jyn: ...fine. jyn no.
Cassian: :)
Padmé: Guys, I said keep Anakin intact!!!
Fennec: To be fair, you never said he had to be alive. Just intact.
Ahsoka: ...well she has a point
Wrecker: He still hasn’t given up the glue nope.
Wrecker: Impressive.
Ahsoka: Yeah, I don’t think he’s gonna last much longer.
Kaydel: Who’s better at taking the heat- Anakin, or the cookies?
Din: Every morning I wake up and beg for a normal day. Just one normal day.
Din: And then you guys go and say things like this.
Ahsoka: Here’s another one for you. Which is more destructive- Anakin, or the cookies?
Anakin: I CAN STILL READ YOUR TEXTS YOU KNOW
Kaydel: Just trust me when I say Anakin.
Ahsoka: I dunno, the cookies have so far resulted in us adopting the Bad Batch, Din being glued to a wall, Obi-Wan breaking a table and injuring himself, Anakin being duct taped to the refrigerator, don’t even get me started on the wall you guys smashed and then miraculously patched back together…
Kaydel: trust me. i am from the future.
Ahsoka: …
Rey: Somebody. Please. Glue remover.
Rey: You know what, I’m going down there.
Padmé: I would join you but they’re still war chanting and that’s never a good sign.
Hunter: Don’t come down here, it’s too crowded
Poe: I will gladly leave the room if you would like to take my place.
Ben: Come join us in the other room
Ben: The one with the wall we just rebuilt
Poe: Sure, who’s us?
Ben: myself and the ghosts that never leave 🙂
Rey: oh my god not again
Rey: shut up about the ghosts
Poe:
Poe: you know what, maybe i’ll stay here and watch them glue anakin to the fridge
Rey: it’s fine poe the ghosts are actually quite nice
Ezra: Poe you won’t even be able to see them, you’re not force-sensitive.
Ezra: I think
Poe: You think I won’t be able to see them or you think I’m not force-sensitive?
Rey: Can somebody please just make up their mind and leave the room?
Poe: Fine. But if I see ONE ghost, I’m leaving.
Ben: Logically speaking, there’s more ghosts in the kitchen than in the repaired wall room, since most of the people there are dead in our time.
Poe: stop making the situation worse i really don’t want to think about that
Rey: Oh my god Padmé you’re right. This was a mistake.
Padmé: Status report?
Rey: Anakin is sufficiently stuck to the fridge, but everyone is ignoring that and continuing to add more tape. And Flex Seal.
Rey: Oi! Everybody move!
Din: They’re not listening, are they?
Rey: Not at all
Rey: ALL OF YOU
Rey: M O V E I T
Cassian: she threw the phone
Maul: And it hurt!
Anakin: well. this is nice.
Anakin: she screamed and threw the phone and it hit maul and now everyone finally shut up :)
Anakin: but i’m still stuck to the fridge, so that’s no fun
Rey: Anakin, hand over the glue remover.
Anakin: Over my dead body.
Rey: If you insist.
Padmé: INTACT
Rey: I’M JUST GONNA KILL HIM, HE’LL STILL BE INTACT
Ahsoka: nothing kills the mood like somebody throwing a phone and threatening murder
Din: nothing kills the mood like getting glued to the wall
Poe: nothing kills the mood like knowing you’re surrounded by ghosts
Ben: I mean… I’m alive.
Poe: you’re writing emo poetry in the corner or whatever
Poe: close enough
Fennec: Wait, lady.
Rey: Me?
Fennec: Yea
Rey: ...ok?
Fennec: If you take the glue nope and go unstick Din from the wall, we can keep Anakin stuck to the fridge, right?
Rey: Uh… I’m gonna phone a friend for that one.
Anakin: NO!
Jyn: Quiet, peasant.
Padmé: Well...we can’t exactly stop you, but I’ll let it slide as long as Anakin has been removed from the fridge by sunset. Deal?
Fennec: We have a deal.
Rey: ok really anticlimactic here but i’m just gonna take the glue remover and head out
Rey: bye
Fennec: Bye! Pleasure doing business with you!
Ezra: See you later!
Maul: please don’t throw your phone at me again
Asajj: Bye :D
Finn: Good luck getting Din off the wall
Padmé: Rey- status report?
Rey: the glue remover has been acquired, your majesty
Padmé: 😭 y’all find yourself a girl who treats you like a queen
Ben: …
Ben: sorry she’s taken
Rey: sorry i'm taken 🤗
Padmé: ( ✿˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )
Jyn: We get it Padmé, you’re a hot mess
Asajj: emphasis on hot
Quinlan: I-I’m right here-
Asajj: yes, and?
Mitaka: 💀
Armitage: Here lies Quinlan and Asajj’s relationship, brutally murdered by Padmé Amidala’s attractiveness
Evaan: What?
Armitage: I’m not saying I find her attractive, I’m just saying- you know what, no. I’m done. I have seen things no mortal should have to see. I experienced a singing battle on top of washing machines. Somebody stuck my hat AND my left shoe into the wall we supposedly fixed. I’m done. I will be joining the crew in the ghost room.
Tech: Well. That was needlessly extensive.
Armitage: thanks
Din: Guys...I’m still here...and I’m still stuck to the wall…
Padmé: oh yeah sorry
Rey: I’m getting there, keep your helmet on
Rey: The whole ‘parading Anakin to the guys compound to stick him to the fridge’ thing left a path of destruction
Din: …
Rey: Ok mainly just a lot of blankets lying around, I don’t really know why, or where they found the blankets
Din: Please just come get me down. I have had more than enough chaos for today.
Cassian: I think even Fennec and Cara are starting to get tired of causing chaos.
Fennec: We have a system, Cassian. Chaos, clean up so Padmé and Din don’t kill us, rest, and repeat!
Notes:
Anakin has become refrigerator art, Padmé is a bisexual mess, Ben sees dead people, Din has fallen up and he can’t get down, and Fennec’s got this whole thing down to a science 😂

Thank you to MySombreroisAlsoaGun for your awesome input + character analyzations (is that the correct word for them?), and thank you to INXSRAILFAN for creating an amazing soundtrack! Y’all inspired a lot of what goes down in this chapter, hopefully you enjoy it!
Chapter Text
Din: Help me ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Padmé: I’m still reading the instructions.
Rey: I think we just pour it all over Din.
Anakin: How many more hours until sunset?
Jyn: Not enough.
Ben: Around three
Anakin: i’m very bored
Padmé: Ok yeah I think we just pour the glue remover on Din.
Rey: you really didn’t have to spend twenty minutes reading the directions
Padmé: I just wanted to be sure!
Din: please just get me down
Rey: Ok, this is gonna be awkward.
Rey: How did Cara even manage to stick you that high up?
Din: She’s Cara.
Rey: fair
Ahsoka: So...what are we gonna do with the three hours we have before we have to take Anakin off the refrigerator?
Fennec: …
Fennec: get the sand.
Anakin: NO WE ARE NOT GETTING THE SAD
Anakin: SAND
Cara: You get the sand, I’ll get the sad
Ezra: Where’s the sad?
Poe: ...somebody get Padmé
Padmé: No, I’m busy.
Rey: It’s fine, I can get Din off the wall
Padmé: no i need an excuse not to go down there
Cara: we need another source of sad
Asajj: …
Jyn: …
Maul: ...
Armitage: I’ve got an idea
Ben: oh no
Armitage: I’ve got an idea 😈
Rose: where is everyone?
Cassian: sleeping or cleaning up
Cassian: With the exception of a small group searching for ‘sand’ and ‘sad’
Cassian: Wait where are you?
Rose: Making a sandwich. Girls compound kitchen.
Din: Status report, they have managed to dislodge one of my arms from the wall.
Din: This is a very undignified process
Rey: well we don’t have much choice, unless you want us to leave you here until the glue gets weaker and you fall off
Din: I wasn’t complaining, I'm just saying this is very awkward.
Armitage: I HAVE ACQUIRED THE SAD
Ben: i’m going to end you
Din: STOP WITH THE LIGHTSABERS
Din: JUST STOP WITH THE LIGHTSABERS
Din: P L E A S E
Rose: What did you do now? I’m staying in the kitchen where it’s mildly safe.
Ben: give it back, hux
Armitage: No it’s mine now
Padmé: I’m very confused, what’s going on?
Cara: No one knows
Poe: hugs just walked in and stole the notebook ben was writing in
Poe: and i think it just started a war
Fennec: well i found sand so
Fennec: what should i do with it
Ben: Throw it at Hux-
Armitage: No let’s not do that-
Fennec: TOO LATE-
Armitage: OW
Ben: he stole my notebook and my line
Ben: this is just getting insulting
Mitaka: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Padmé: now i really don’t wanna go down there
Din: same
Din: I would like to get down from the wall, I just don’t want to go down there and deal with… *gestures vaguely at everyone downstairs*
Rey: Understandable.
Armitage: PLEASE STOP THROWING SAND AT ME
Fennec: Too bad, I have a whole bag full of it
Armitage: WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET A BAG OF SAND
Cara: half the people in the compounds are asleep right now
Cara: and then there’s these four.
Obi-Wan: Who’s the fourth?
Cara: What?
Obi-Wan: I count Armitage, Ben, and Fennec. Poe is technically sitting and watching, but he doesn’t count.
Cara: oh ok
Cara: do you want to be the fourth
Obi-Wan: do i have a choice
Cara: not at all
Obi-Wan: The chaos goddess has demanded I take part in this epic quest to find sand and sad
Fennec: We already have both, I’m just throwing sand at Armitage and Ben is trying to get his emo poetry book back
Obi-Wan: oh
Obi-Wan: well then can i help throw sand at anakin
Fennec: Sure
Obi-Wan: i have waited to do this for so long
Armitage: Look, how about a deal?
Obi-Wan: What?
Armitage: No, not you- FENNEC WOULD YOU STOP THROWING SAND FOR ONE KRIFFING MINUTE
Fennec: NO
Armitage: O N E M I N U T E
Fennec: ...fine. but i’m counting. your minute starts now.
Armitage: Ben, you let me throw the book at Anakin and maybe tape it to him until sunset. And then I’ll give you the book back.
Ben: ...deal.
Ben: but no one opens the book, and you give it to me the second the sun goes down
Armitage: Deal
Obi-Wan: Crisis averted
Fennec: ONE MINUTE’S UP, I’M THROWING SAND
Padmé: And who’s cleaning up this sand afterward?
Fennec: me probably
Jyn: WAIT
Jyn: I wanna make a sand angel first
Ezra: YES
Padmé: Okay, Jyn and Ezra can make one quick sand angel each, and then Fennec is cleaning up the sand.
Rey: where is everyone, this chat has gone virtually silent
Rey: also the compound is silent and that’s a bit terrifying
Rey: it usually means someone’s plotting
Cara: Everyone’s sleeping or moving their clothes and stuff into their new sleeping arrangements.
Rey: Ah. That’s a relief.
Din: Status update- I am now only mostly stuck to the wall. My arms, legs, and head are free.
Cara: I’m surprised you’ve stayed up there that long.
Jyn: i’m very much in awe of you
Jyn: please teach me how to glue people to walls with that much precision and accuracy
Cara: sure, i’ll do a TED Talk like fennec did
Cassian: Please don’t. I don’t think the compounds could handle another one.
Cassian: Also I don’t wish to be glued to a wall
Jyn: I wouldn’t glue you to a wall
Cassian: Yes, but somebody eventually would.
Anakin: help
Anakin: they’re here 😫
Anakin: FENNEC NO
Fennec: FENNEC YES
Padmé: I TOLD YOU GUYS TO KEEP HIM INTACT
Ben: She’s pouring sand on his head
Padmé: somebody please hide all the lightsabers
Maul: On it!
Padmé: somebody responsible please hide all the lightsabers
Maul:
Quinlan: On it.
Din: GUYS
Din: I’M FREE
Anakin: I’M NOT
Armitage: b a l a n c e
Fennec: Nice touch
Armitage: Thanks
Obi-Wan: They’ve balanced the poetry book on Anakin’s head
Din: I HAVE ESCAPED THE WALL
Din: THANK YOU PADMÉ AND REY
Rey: lol no problem
Padmé: you gave me an excuse to avoid the refrigerator glue war party
Din: You guys have no idea how good it feels to be on solid ground again
Rey: believe me i do
Rey: being stuck in midair is the worst
Padmé: ok that has some terrifying implications but we’re ignoring it for now because din is free
Anakin: Somebody please save meeeeee 😫
Obi-Wan: Isn’t this technically child endangerment?
Poe: Isn’t Anakin 22?
Obi-Wan: older than 22 but he doesn’t act like it
Cara: It’s man-child endangerment, I don’t think that’s a crime if it’s Anakin
Chapter 36: Sunset approaches...and Chaos on a Time Limit
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Anakin: GUYS IT’S SUNSET
Anakin: LET ME DOWN YOU DEMONS
Fennec: oNLY WHEN THE QUEEN MOTHER ORDERS IT
Fennec: I TRUST HER JUDGEMENT MORE THAN YOURS
Padmé: You have four minutes.
Cara: ooh pretty sunset
Ezra: Where is everyone?
Rose: rey’s making a sandwich and we’re watching her
Cassian: everyone else is still sleeping or hiding somewhere to play cards
Poe: oh and luke and din are showering
Ezra: in the same shower???
Poe: idk go ask them
Ezra:
Poe: honestly i ship it
Rose: Agreed
Evaan: Hmm...maybe?
Padmé: Four minutes…
Fennec: I want to do something but I don’t know what
Fennec: People in the kitchen, any ideas?
Poe: We’re busy watching Rey make a sandwich.
Poe: Oh and Evaan is dying her hair and Rose and I are considering it.
Fennec: hair dye
Fennec: poe you’re a genius
Poe: ...Thanks? I mean, I know. But idk what I just started-
Jyn: I like where this is going.
Jyn: HEY KITCHEN PEOPLE
Rey: WHAT
Rey: oh that was a mistake.
Rey: can someone with clean hands please help me get the weird yellow sauce off my phone screen?
Maul: Sure
Rey: thx
Jyn: KITCHEN PEOPLE
Hunter: WHAT
Jyn: WE NEED TO BORROW YOUR HAIR DYE
Fennec: PREFERABLY QUICKLY, HE WAVE LKE THEREE MINUTS
Cassian: …
Cara: she said ‘we have three minutes’
Cassian: Oh, then yes. What colors do you need?
Anakin: oh no
Anakin: nO NO NONO NO I JUST REALIZED WHERE THIS IS GOING
Ben: took you long enough
Fennec: HOT PINK, NEON ORANGE, AND/OR PURPLE
Evaan: WE ONLY HAVE PINK, PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, AND WHITE
Padmé: wait i want to see this go down
Anakin: NO SOMEBODY STOP HER
Rey: guys keep the hair dye away from the sandwich please
Obi-Wan: so you’ll draw the line at hair dye but not oranges?
Rey: Oranges are good!
Obi-Wan: not on a sandwich
Obi-Wan: with MUSTARD
Rey: i don’t know what any of these things are called aside from bread and oranges so you’re gonna have to specify
Obi-Wan: the yellow sauce
Rey: But the yellow sauce tastes good!
Obi-Wan: not on a sandwich
Obi-Wan: with ORANGES
Rey: i don’t really see what’s wrong with it???
Poe: A lot of things are wrong with it, but this is entertaining so I won’t stop you.
Jyn: PADMÉ WHAT’S OUR TIME LIMIT
Padmé: uh
Padmé: I DON’T KNOW I WALKED AWAY FROM THE WINDOW TO SEE THE HAIR DYE AND THE SANDWICH
Jyn: NO TIME LIMIT YAY
Anakin: NO PLEASE TELL THEM THEY’RE OVER THE TIME LIMIT
Anakin: THEY LISTEN TO YOU
Fennec: ANAKIN WHAT COLOR HAIR DYE DO YOU WANT
Anakin: NONE
Fennec: HE SAID PINK AND YELLOW
Anakin: NO
Jyn: PINK AND YELLOW IT IS
Cara: DIN YOU USELESS MANDALORIAN GET OUT OF THE SHOWER AND COME SEE THIS
Leia: why is there screaming
Leia: i just wanted to sleep
Leia: and next thing i know
Leia: i wake up and hear people chanting ‘yellow’
Rey: I want to follow Fennec and Jyn to see the hair dye thing but I also don’t want someone to steal my sandwich.
Maul: I can assure you that no one here is going to want to steal your sandwich.
Din: WHAT HAPPENED I WAS SHOWERING
Poe: WERE YOU SHOWERING WITH LUKE
Din: WHAT
Poe: YES OR NO
Din: PREFER NOT TO ANSWER
Poe: YES OR NOW
Din: DECLINE TO COMMENT
Poe: SO YES
Poe: EZRA, OBI-WAN YOU GUYS OWE ME TEN CREDITS
Din: I SAID NO COMMENT
Poe: LUKE
Luke: yeah?
Poe: WERE YOU AND DIN SHOWERING TOGETHER
Luke: uh
Luke: maybe
Poe: TEN CREDITS
Ezra: I’M BROKE THO
Evaan: THEN WHY WERE YOU BETTING
Rose: YOU GUYS WERE BETTING?
Cassian: please stop screaming
Rose: Sorry.
Poe: They still owe me ten credits though.
Padmé: Guys, one minute to sunset!
Ben: please don’t get hair dye on my notebook
Fennec: Don’t worry, I’m an expert at this.
Anakin: you’re texting and dyeing my hair at the same time
Fennec: because i’m an expert at this
Evaan: this is amazing
Evaan: but i am gonna need the yellow back cause poe wanted to use it
Padmé: you guys better be done soon…
Jyn: Anakin stop moving
Anakin: n e v e r
Rose: Doesn’t the dye have to stay in for half an hour to an hour?
Jyn: ...Yes, but we can just barricade the bathrooms and sinks and all that
Evaan: …
Wrecker: so this kind of stuff happens often?
Cassian: This is the first time it’s included hair dye...but yes
Wrecker: awesome
Padmé: THIRTY SECONDS
Fennec: ALMOST DONE
Jyn: WAIT HOW ARE WE GETTING ANAKIN OFF THE REFRIGERATOR
Padmé: I DON’T KNOW, THAT’S YOUR PROBLEM
Padmé: YOU PUT HIM UP THERE, YOU GET HIM DOWN
Maul: Does this mean the refrigerator is gonna have yellow and pink hair dye on it?
Jyn: A little bit
Padmé: TEN SECONDS
Fennec: AKDFSLKJDFSSJLKFSLJKFSJKL
Anakin: end my misery
Padmé: TIME’S UP
Cara: That was a thrilling conclusion to Anakin’s refrigerator captivity.
Jyn: That was amazing.
Anakin: I hate all of you.
Cara: Don’t worry, it’ll wear off the next time we do something stupid.
Fennec: You’re going to have some excellent pink and yellow streaks in your hair
Anakin: This stuff doesn’t last forever, right?
Fennec: uhh…
Evaan: Nah, this stuff washes out after a few weeks. It’s semi-permanent.
Poe: Ok, after we get Anakin down….can you help me dye some of my hair?
Evaan: Yea ofc
Evaan: Same goes for anyone who wants dyed hair.
Fennec: Oooh this seems fun.
Padmé: Maybe I’ll dye my hair… we should probably find out how to get Anakin off the fridge first.
Anakin: Yes. Yes we should.
Notes:
I know virtually nothing about how hair dye works, everything in this chapter was based off of a wikihow on hair dyeing, so if you saw anything out of place, please let me know! Other than that, hope y’all are doing well and enjoying life- may the force be with you!
Chapter 37: braids, brids, and a demonic sandwich
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Din: ...Rey, Padmé, where did you guys put the glue remover?
Padmé: Probably upstairs somewhere.
Padmé: We left it in Cara’s room, but things in the compounds have the tendency to teleport.
Armitage: I think that’s just Cara.
Rose: Rey, please tell me you’re not going to eat that sandwich…
Rey: Why not?
Maul: Usually I’m all for being creative with food but this is disturbing.
Rey: It’s just a sandwich.
Obi-Wan: You put oranges, mustard, and macaroni on it.
Rey: Yep :)
Obi-Wan: So there’s something called ‘socially acceptable’ and when you make food that is socially acceptable, that’s a good thing. The sandwich is not socially acceptable.
Rey: Ok more for me.
Obi-Wan: That’s not what I meant-
Anakin: Guys, we should take another field trip sometime.
Jyn: After what happened on the last one?
Anakin: The last one was fun!
Fennec: We certainly made memories to last a lifetime.
Han: yes. yes we did.
Poe: Are you still not over that?
Han: NOT REALLY, NO.
Evaan: Poe, I’m almost done with Rose’s hair if you wanna get over here.
Evaan: A line has begun to form for hair dye.
Luke: Leia, do you think I could pull off blue hair?
Leia: no. definitely not.
Luke: Aww…
Zorii: Do you think I could pull off hair dye?
Poe: How are we supposed to know, you always keep your helmet on…
Evaan: Ok Rose, you’re good to go
Rose: Thanks Evaan :D
Evaan: Poe, you ready?
Poe: Sure, why not?
Luke: Rey please don’t eat that sandwich.
Rey: what do all of you have against my sandwich
Rey: none of you are socially acceptable, why should my food be?
Tech: She does have a point.
Luke: Ok then, eat the sandwich I guess-
Hunter: Can I try some?
Rey: …
Rey: Fine.
Anakin: Honestly though, I think we should take another field trip.
Fennec: I do need an excuse to test out the bus’s new modifications…
Quinlan: What happened to your date with Cara?
Cara: Anakin was taped to a refrigerator so we gave it a rain check.
Quinlan: Fair.
Ezra: I’m just gonna leave that room until the sandwich is gone.
Echo: I might join you but I’m also morbidly curious.
Hunter: Come on, it won’t be that bad…
Rey: It tastes good!
Armitage: Wait actually?
Hunter: Let me try…
Hunter: Eh… It’s not BAD… it’s just also not good.
Armitage: Can I try some?
Rey: …
Armitage: Come on, I let you pet my cat!
Rey: fine.
Quinlan: Are we all just gonna try Rey’s sandwich now?
Rey: No. Just those two.
Armitage oh i regret that-
Armitage: Hunter, Rey, your taste buds are broken.
Rey: more for me 😊
Jyn: You know what, Anakin? I agree. We need some more chaos.
Padmé: I really don’t think we need any more.
Jyn: Not right now, obviously.
Padmé: at this rate none of you are going to be allowed out of the compounds
Cassian: I don’t see that stopping anyone.
Padmé: Neither do I, but it’s nice to pretend that there’s some sort of law here.
Fennec: They still haven’t come after us for the fire.
Ben: yeah it really makes you wonder what the rest of the country is like
Ahsoka: From what I’ve seen so far, a bunch of aliens displaced from time setting fire to their government-sanctioned compound isn’t actually that bad in the grand scheme of things.
Ahsoka: I work at a food business dictated by a giant clown.
Cara: So… Anakin?
Asajj: Anakin’s too short.
Anakin: Anakin’s right here-
Maul: K E N O BI
Maul: *K E N O B I
Obi-Wan: what
Maul: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE TOILET PAPER IN THE GUYS’ COMPOUND BATHROOM
Obi-Wan: honestly, i have no idea.
Maul: IF YOU USE THE LAST OF THE TOILET PAPER, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT FOR THE NEXT PERSON
Obi-Wan: OH, SORRY
Maul: YEAH YOU’D BETTER BE
Quinlan: I’ve seen some great battles in my day, but that was by far the most intense duel Obi-Wan and Maul have had to this day.
Din: Can someone help me pull Anakin off the wall?
Wrecker: Sure, why not?
Din: Okay, so I’m gonna pour the glue remover on him, and then we both pull.
Din: I got as much duct tape off as possible, but they used some sort of extra-strength glue as well.
Fennec: FLEX SEAL
Cara: OUR SAVIOR
Anakin: help me
Din: I’m working on it.
Leia: whAT WAS THAT?
Poe: did anyone else just hear a crash
Rey: Mhmm
Quinlan: That was Anakin, wasn’t it?
Wrecker: SORRY GENERAL SKYWALKER
Din: sorry anakin
Din: won’t happen again
Din: unless you manage to get yourself glued to a fridge again
Anakin: ow
Fennec: ow...o?
Anakin: o w
Fennec: owo
Anakin: ow
Fennec: uwu
Finn: Fennec, are you okay?
Fennec: Absolutely not.
Anakin: i just fell off the refrigerator. and you’re asking her. if she’s okay.
Ezra: Well we already know you’re not okay.
Anakin:
Anakin: just don’t glue me to the fridge ever again, please
Kaydel: Are you guys seriously still awake???
Din: Yes???
Kaydel: It’s almost midnight.
Din: im sorry it’s WHAT
Din: i will promptly be running upstairs and faceplanting in bed, good night to all of you heathens
Evaan: G’night Din!
Evaan: ok who here is willing to stay up past midnight to get their hair dyed?
Evaan: I can do a few more and then I’m going to sleep.
Fennec: Can you just do a pink streak in my hair?
Evaan: Yeah but you’re gonna have to unbraid it.
Fennec: Uh… that might take a while-
Cara: I can help!
Fennec: 🥰 thanks
Leia:
Ben: …
Leia: 😶
Hunter: I feel like I’m missing something.
Asajj: Some brain cells?
Hunter: No, I already know I’m missing those.
Leia: *whispers* she’s alderaanian
Hunter: *whispers back* fennec?
Leia: *still whispering* no, cara
Hunter: *slightly confused whisper* okay, so?
Rey: *munches popcorn* where is this even going
Poe: Where did you find popcorn?
Rey: It’s in the sandwich.
Poe: ...I miss not knowing that.
Leia: braids are important
Leia: especially if someone takes someone else’s braids out
Leia: it’s something very intimate
Fennec: aww cara 🥰
Cara: 😌
Rey:
Rey: …
Hunter: Well now I feel like I’m missing something else.
Rey: w h a t
Rose: ???
Rey: I have let you braid my hair
Rey: for MONTHS
Ben: I thought you knew!
Rey: No???
Rey: Is that why everyone kept giving me strange looks???
Padmé: *munches popcorn*
Padmé: *actual popcorn, not sandwich popcorn
Poe: thank the force
Ben: oh kriff is she angry
Ben: should i hide
Padmé: Hate to interrupt, but Din requested a lightsaber curfew, so you’re not allowed to ignite lightsabers from 10pm to 6am, so no lightsabers. No blasters, either.
Rose: she’s not gonna ignite a lightsaber
Rose: she’s just standing there
Fennec: Ok Evaan can you dye my hair real quick?
Fennec: i put my phone down for five minutes and now rey is crying and padme is eating popcorn
Fennec: Padmé I thought you hated popcorn
Padmé: I do, but it fits the scene.
Armitage: wait happy crying, sad crying, or angry crying
Rey: yes.
Armitage
Rey: confused crying but also happy crying maybe???
Cassian: We should put a sleeping curfew into place.
Padmé: Nobody would follow it, though.
Cassian: Okay, but an ‘everyone-in-bed-by-a-certain-time’ curfew couldn’t hurt
Leia: It would mostly just keep up the illusion of law, not actually do anything.
Cassian: i know but evaan is dyeing peoples’ hair, obi-wan and maul are still arguing over toilet paper, cara was just trying to be a nice girlfriend and it somehow sparked a not-quite-argument, and it’s midnight
Leia: Past midnight, actually.
Ahsoka: ALRIGHT LISTEN UP YOU LITTLE MISCREANTS
Ahsoka: YOU BETTER AT LEAST BE IN YOUR ROOMS IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES OR I’M LETTING MORAI LOOSE ON YOU
Ezra: I’m sorry, are you threatening us with a brid
Cara: b r i d
Padmé: I see you’re all still awake enough to make spelling jokes
Fennec: ma’am, are you threatening us with a brid
Ahsoka: indeed i am threatening you with a brid
Hunter: two can play this game, i see
Ahsoka: DON’T MAKE ME GET MY BRID HUNTER
Ahsoka: ALL OF YOU SLEEP NOW
Padmé: i have never seen a crowd of people scatter faster
Padmé: Ahsoka, can I borrow your bird trick sometime?
Ahsoka: Please do. I would love to see you bring a bird into the Senate chamber and threaten everyone with it.
Notes:
I have recently discovered the lovely mess that is Duolingo’s social media accounts... more specifically, a friend has acquainted me with the Duolingo TikTok. Would anyone be interested in seeing a field trip to the Duolingo headquarters to meet the Duolingo owl?
Also, if anyone has any requests (anything you want to see- characters, settings, situations, anything else you can think of), please let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can do! (I may or may not be able to work in many more characters permanently, due to the sheer amount of characters already here, but they can definitely show up for a few chapters or a story arc)
Chapter 38: get in loser, we’re going to the duolingo headquarters
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Anakin: We’re going on a field trip today.
Asajj: Oh, because the field trip gods have declared it. Of course.
Ahsoka: Don’t give him any ideas…
Anakin: Like the excellent travel agent I am, I have planned out our trip already.
Anakin: mostly
Han: Wherever it is, I’m not going.
Fennec: Oh, just come with us. It can’t get worse than last time for you.
Han: that’s what i thought before the last trip
Fennec: What’s worse than learning your cause of death?
Armitage: wait does he still not know
Kaydel: not know what?
Armitage: who
Kaydel: who what?
Armitage: who his cause of death was
Kaydel: no
Armitage: …
Armitage: I mean we’re not even trying to keep it a secret. This is just embarrassing.
Kaydel: i think we all just introduced ourselves by our first name when we got here and nobody’s actually taken different last names into account ever since
Kaydel: with the exclusion of anakin and luke and leia, but when anakin’s involved he’s always the exception
Padmé: As riveting as this discussion is, I have to go to work. Enjoy your trip but don’t get us arrested because I’m not breaking you out.
Echo: That’s fair.
Din: ...So where are we going this time?
Cara: Why do you always act like we’re dragging you into these things unwillingly?
Din: Because you are. Somebody has to come with you to make sure nobody dies.
Din: This can be proven with the itinerary from our last trip, in which you nearly threw Rey off a moving bus, almost killed a government agent, and obviously the whole thing with Han.
Han: Who has not forgiven any of you.
Rey: We know.
Din: Seriously though, where are we going?
Anakin: Drumroll please…
Cassian:
Evaan:
Tech:
Anakin: wow ok complete silence alright then
Anakin: THE DUOLINGO HEADQUARTERS
Ezra:
Poe:
Leia: I’m sorry the what
Anakin: it’s this building overlorded by this huge green bird that teaches you languages
Rey: We’re going to learn language from a bird?
Ahsoka: yeah im heading to work
Ahsoka: dont sacrifice my bird to the language bird, thanks
Anakin: We’ll try not to, no promises.
Ahsoka: Yes promises.
Anakin: Well…
Ahsoka: (◣_◢)
Anakin: no sacrificing morai to the bird overlord
Fennec: SIN UP SHERTS AE IN THE KITHXEN
Din: …
Fennec: SIGN UP SHEETS ARE IN THE KITCHEN
Fennec: i swear im not usually this bad at spelling. you guys are demolishing my ability to spell.
Din: Well you’re demolishing my mental stability so we’re at a stalemate.
Poe: Oh no, our mental stability! It’s broken!
Cara: ...Kids these days and their ridiculous humor.
Zorii: Cara, you glued someone to the wall.
Poe: Oh no, our humor! It’s broken!
Zorii: Poe, you’re really not helping the situation.
Fennec: HEY YOU GUYS BETTER SIGN UP SOON, WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF BUS SPACE
Cara: Have you considered sitting people on the top?
Fennec:
Fennec: no, but now i am
Fennec: HEY GUYS NO NEED TO SIGN UP, WE’RE SEATING PEOPLE ON TOP NOW
Leia: I’m almost afraid to ask, but is that safe?
Cara: Absolutely not.
Quinlan: Sounds great, I’m in
Fennec: Evaan, you’re in charge of packing snacks!
Evaan: o r a n g e s
Fennec: Cara, get the weapons!
Hunter: Wait, weapons?
Cara: Obviously.
Armitage: How long is this trip gonna take?
Anakin: About 2 days if we drive the whole time, and about four hours if we fly.
Hunter: Oh.
Hunter: I guess we can’t go then, if it’s gonna take 2 days. We have to be back by tonight, right?
Fennec: Okay, taking into consideration the power of the rocket boosters and the size of the vehicle, I think I could shave the time down to three hours?
Anakin: awesome
Hunter: wait, you guys have a ship?
Obi-Wan: Of course not. Where would we keep it?
Hunter: how are we supposed to fly then-
Obi-Wan: Fennec modified her bus.
Hunter:
Tech: That bus is definitely not suited for flight.
Ezra: Oh, we know.
Ezra: But Anakin will be in the bus-plane, so we don’t need to worry about natural law.
Ezra: If nobody from the future comes back to stop you, then how bad of a decision can it be?
Rey:
Rey: funny story about that
Han: NO
Han: NO MORE OF YOU FUTURE PEOPLE MAKING THINGS WORSE
Zorii: YOU ASKED FOR IT
Han: NOT ABOUT DYING JUST ABOUT HOW BAD THINGS GET
Zorii: DYING KIND OF TOPS THE LIST
Anakin: GUYS CAN YOU JUST SIGN UP FOR THE TRIP AND FINISH THIS ARGUMENT IN THE CAR
Anakin: BUS
Anakin: PLANE
Anakin: WHATEVER THAT NIGHTMARE VEHICLE IS
Leia: Are we actually putting people on the roof?
Fennec: I was, but then I realized it’s air travel and not land travel, and I’m still working out the kinks when it comes to air travel on top of a modified bus.
Cassian: Someone has the duct tape, right?
Jyn: Yeah, I put it next to the bag of sand.
Cara: SHOTGUN
Anakin: Aw, come on!
Cara: No, it’s mine now 😈
Kaydel: why the devil face???
Cassian: Evaan, you packed food other than oranges, right?
Evaan: There’s some macaroni in there somewhere.
Mitaka: Is everyone in the compounds coming?
Fennec: Everyone except for Han.
Ben: …
Han: No.
Han: I’m not coming.
Ben: ok good
Jyn: No, you’re coming with us.
Han: No.
Jyn: Too bad.
Ben: I don’t think this is a good idea.
Poe: could we make this any more obvious
Poe: how has nobody guessed
Rey: probably because all of us share one (1) brain cell
Fennec: GET IN THE BUS
Din: WE ARE IN THE BUS
Fennec: I WAS TALKING TO HAN
Han: NEVER
Fennec:
Fennec: jyn
Jyn: On it.
Han: ???
Cassian: where did padmé put the popcorn
Han: nO
Han: I AM NOT COMING TO THE BIRD BUILDING WITH YOU
Han: JYN STOP
Jyn: no 🙂
Han: SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP HER
Tech: This is mildly entertaining. I like it here.
Cara: Good.
Han: JYN STOP DRAGGING ME
Jyn: DEAL WITH IT
Jyn: CASSIAN I NEED THE DUCT TAPE
Han: THIS CAN’T BE LEGAL
Anakin: NOTHING HERE IS LEGAL
Anakin: ALSO PADMÉ TOLD ME NOT TO LEAVE YOU HOME ALONE SO YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER
Rey: Well. Somebody is going to die.
Mitaka: Of fun?
Rey: no, i think somebody is genuinely going to die.
Mitaka: Oh.
Din: im beginning to guess who han’s murderer is and this road trip is gonna be a mess
Fennec: QUIET, IM TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW TO TAKE OFF
Obi-Wan: Oh, we’re definitely going to die.
Notes:
Edit: I just want you guys to know that this chapter has forever turned me into “that person who knows the distance from area 51 to pittsburgh” socially. Also it’s probably terrified whatever government agent has to wrangle my search history, but it’s a bit late to save that one.
Chapter 39: according to all known laws of aviation...
Notes:
🎵On the upside of a downward spiral🎵 ...this chapter was created. Apologies for taking so long to finish this chapter, it’s been a busy month 😅 We’ll see what April has in store, but expect updates to come once a week-ish?
Chapter Text
Fennec: Can I just say that I’m genuinely surprised we’ve stayed in the air this long.
Maul: Please don’t.
Maul: It hasn’t even been fifteen minutes.
Fennec: Exactly! Much longer than I expected!
Din:
Din: i’m going to die surrounded by idiots
Din: they’re going to find my body and think i had the same amount of brain cells as all of you
Din: somebody save me
Ben: Not even the force can save us now.
Poe: Easy for you to say, you were always beyond saving.
Jyn: *whispers* shots fired-
Leia: OKAY how about we play a game before this gets too heated?
Leia: There’s not exactly room for a lightsaber fight.
Quinlan: What about another burrito duel?
Poe: ...i’m down for a burrito duel
Leia: That’s not what I meant-
Cara: GUYS I’VE GOT A GREAT GAME
Leia: ALSO NOT WHAT I MEANT-
Anakin: Hmmm...is this a chaotic game?
Cara: If we make it a chaotic game, it is.
Obi-Wan: ...So then it’s a chaotic game.
Cassian: Sounds like a horrible idea. I’m in.
Cara: Time for a thrilling game of…
Cara: WHOSE FAMILY IS THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL
Obi-Wan:
Rey:
Hunter:
Anakin: Why is everybody looking at me?
Fennec: ...i wonder why.
Anakin: Fennec please stop staring at me.
Anakin: FENNEC EYES ON THE SKIES OR WE’RE GONNA DIES
Echo: See, and this is why we’re all looking at you.
Mitaka: He has a point.
Cara: I don’t want to brag but my parents died on Alderaan.
Jyn: *whispers* s h o t s f i r e d
Cassian: Jyn get off the sidelines, you could 100% win this
Rey: Are we actually doing this???
Cara: Apparently.
Tech: The Bad Batch is modified and discarded clones.
Hunter: Dysfunctional family? You decide.
Cara: Absolutely that counts as a dysfunctional family.
Han: Do I even need to say it?
Anakin: Well no but at the same time please do.
Han: My child stabs me. I think my family wins for most dysfunctional.
Quinlan: Maybe you’re just like...a really bad parent.
Din: Can’t believe I’m joining in on this mess, but I have a dysfunctional family AND a dysfunctional found family. Beat that.
Rey: Well...I guess my parents left me on a desert planet when I was a kid?
Armitage: ...You guess.
Jyn: I’m just waiting for the perfect moment to unleash my sob story.
Asajj: All of my sisters are dead.
Cassian: my whole family and found family is dead
Fennec: Is the point of the game to have the most disturbing backstory or the worst current familial situation?
Cara: Great question.
Jyn: My mom was shot in front of me when I was seven and my father went to work for the Empire and build a planet-killing weapon immediately after she died.
Tech: This game escalated quickly.
Tech: Does anyone know where we can locate some tissues?
Fennec: Evaan was in charge of packing them.
Evaan: I was? I thought I was just in charge of snacks!
Fennec:
Poe: Don’t worry, I brought tissues
Poe: I figured someone would need them after everything that happened last time
Poe: also my mom is dead and most of my friends are dead but i actually have it pretty good, i have Finn and Rey and Rose and everyone
Maul: i don’t actually have a dysfunctional family but now that everyone’s talking about their families i really miss my brother :(
Obi-Wan: You have family?
Maul: I- yeah?
Obi-Wan: I HAD YOU PEGGED AS AN ONLY CHILD
Obi-Wan: AHSOKA AND I WERE BETTING ON IT
Anakin: YOU GUYS WERE BETTING WITHOUT ME
Obi-Wan: WE LEAVE YOU OUT OF A LOT MORE THAN YOU THINK
Anakin:
Rey: pass the tissues?
Ezra: yeah gimme a sec
Anakin: So should I share my family story, or…?
Din: I think we can all agree that the Skywalkers win this game.
Poe: Definitely.
Han: Yeah
Echo: Three different generations just agreed on something. Anakin really does defy all known laws of logic.
Luke: I’m a Skywalker and I can confirm this.
Ben: I’m a Skywalker and I can confirm this.
Anakin: I’m Anakin and I can confirm this.
Quinlan: I’m a person with at least half a brain cell and I can confirm this.
Cassian: I’m supposed to be dead because of Skywalkers and I can confirm this.
Obi-Wan: I’m sorry, you’re what now
Zorii: THE WALKING DEAD
Asajj: YES
Obi-Wan: WHY ARE THE DEAD WALKING
Ben: because the dead don’t go away
Ben: they follow you around for eternity
Obi-Wan: SOMEONE WHO ISN’T A GENERALLY SCARY PERSON, WHY ARE THE DEAD WALKING
Leia: Force ghosts?
Obi-Wan: I SAID SOMEONE WHO’S NOT SCARY
Leia:
Jyn: i sense a disturbance in the force
Jyn: someone’s about to die
Ezra: If this bus goes down, I just want you all to know that this was a horrible idea and I love it.
Fennec: Why is everyone crying or fighting?
Din: We definitely shouldn’t have played Cara’s game.
Cara: yeah everyone’s crying
Cara: i mean that’s usually what happens
Cara: but still, everyone’s crying
Evaan: Padmé is our singular emotional support source.
Evaan: or at least our single actually helpful emotional support source
Ezra: Yeah the rest of the time is everyone just crying and holding onto each other
Armitage: i think that’s just our collective fear of this bus plummeting a couple thousand meters and killing us all on impact
Ezra: Well that too
Tech: How exactly DID you secure the wings on?
Fennec: Bold of you to assume they’re even remotely secure.
Din:
Din: Well, it’s been nice knowing you guys.
Chapter 40: Another Happy Landing
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Cassian: Are we there yet?
Fennec: I thought you were some sort of master spy.
Cassian: I am.
Fennec: Then you think you’d know about PATIENCE
Cassian:
Jyn: Hey, I’m the only one who’s allowed to make fun of him >:(
Din: Fennec, don’t poke the rancor.
Anakin: Yeah Fennec don’t poke the rancor.
Din: You be quiet. You’re the reason we got into this mess in the first place.
Anakin: You guys agreed to the trip!!!
Din: Not the trip, the whole getting stuck in the compounds.
Anakin: I have no idea how we got to this planet Earth place.
Din: yes but you are related to most of the people here. meaning you are in part responsible for us being stuck here. if you didn’t have children or adopt clones or go around making sith enemies then none of us would be here.
Anakin: Okay, but is any of that MY fault?
Anakin: you want me to just sit around and let the sith take over?
Ben: I’m sorry but are you insinuating that it’s not your fault that you had children
Anakin: insinu-what now?
Zorii: this is hopeless
Jyn: Finally, one of you understands.
Fennec: HEY GUYS WE’RE LANDING SOON
Fennec: AND BY LANDING I MEAN WE’RE DESCENDING AND HOPING WE DON’T END UP SMEARED ON A ROAD OR IMPALED BY A BUILDING OR SOMETHING
Poe: Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
Ezra: Are you sure we’ll be walking away from this one?
Tech: The chances of us dying are unfortunately moderately high.
Tech: so yes we will probably end up a smear on a road but maybe we will get very lucky and survive
Fennec: ALL OF YOU QUIET, I NEED TO CONCENTRATE
Anakin: pass the duct tape
Rey: w-why?
Anakin: I want a seat belt
Rey:
Hunter: I say we sacrifice the travel agent!
Anakin: Hey wait, I’m the travel agent!
Han: Exactly.
Evaan: WE’RE GOING DOWN
Fennec: WE’RE NOT GOING DOWN, I HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL WE ARE PERFECTLY FINE
Din: PLEASE GET OFF YOUR DEVICE AND FLY THIS THING
Rey: we’regonnadiewe’regonnadiewe’regonnadie
Jyn: you know i’m starting to think dying on Scarif would’ve been a better idea
Fennec: GUYS IT’S FINE IT WAS A SHORT DROP
Fennec: I HAVE THINGS UNDER CONTROL NOW
Fennec: STOP ACTING LIKE IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD
Asajj: We just feel twenty meters
Quinlan: We just fell twenty meters because the wings almost tore off
Tech: This might not be the best time, but I’ve figured out a way to optimize the flight capabilities of the bus without compromising the safety of the passengers or the wings themselves.
Armitage: i say we let him modify the bus next time
Din: oh definitely
Wrecker: You should see what he’s done with our ship…
Fennec: CAN WE USE THE DUCT TAPE TO FIX THE SHIP
Jyn: WE’RE GONNA DIE
Fennec: SHHHHH
Poe: Everyone hold on to something!
Fennec: I have this under control. I have this under control. This is perfectly under control. We are not going to die.
Din: EVEN THE RAZOR CREST WASN’T THIS BAD
Cara: EXACTLY
Fennec: IT’S FINE THERE’S EMERGENCY ROCKET BOOSTERS
Quinlan: HOW DO WE KNOW THOSE AREN’T BROKEN???
Fennec:
Poe: hope is like the sun. if you only believe in it when you see it, you’ll never make it through the night.
Ben: What I’m getting from that is that Fennec’s rocket boosters are the sun, I don’t see them, and there’s no way we’re making it through this landing.
Poe: not what i meant but i can’t argue with any of that
Maul: Nothing demolishes the boundaries between the dark side and the light side like a good old fashioned bus-plane crash
Evaan: HOLY FORCE EVERYBODY BRACE YOURSELVES
Anakin: JHADSHGADSHDSGAHJGAGHADSGHSDJAJSD
Anakin: oh hey look we’re alive
Fennec: really?
Anakin: five fingers, ten toes… perfect condition
Leia: i’m sorry did you say five fingers-
Leia: i hate to break it to you, but
Leia: that’s not perfect condition
Anakin: I mean I didn’t count the robotic hand, so technically yes ten fingers, just five organic ones :)
Luke: You have a robot hand too?
Anakin: Yeah, you?
Luke: Yeah!
Anakin: I’m proud of you, my son.
Leia: Must be a Skywalker guys thing
Armitage:
Rey:
Rose:
Ben: oh
Anakin: Alright, if everyone's intact, everyone out of the bus! Time to begin our exploration of the Duolingo headquarters!
Cassian: We almost died
Anakin: But we didn’t!
Cassian: we almost died
Anakin : but we didn’t
Anakin: Come on, somebody back me up!
Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to general safety, to sanity!
Anakin: …
Anakin: If you are not with me
Anakin: Then you are getting dragged along like Han, sorry master
Obi-Wan: okAY, EVERYONE OUT OF THE BUS
Asajj: Not much of a bus anymore, is it?
Tech: I’d like to stay behind to perform the necessary repairs to this bus-plane of yours.
Tech: Otherwise we will be stuck with no way back to the compounds.
Cara: Well there’s always stealing
Cara: *borrowing for an undetermined amount of time
Din: i thought we agreed to stop doing that
Cara: Really? Well I didn’t.
Anakin: Sure, Tech stay behind. Anyone else?
Rose: Sure, I’d like to get a look at the modifications Fennec made.
Mitaka: I can stay back and help.
Ezra: I can stay…I probably won’t be much help, but give me a job and I can do it.
Han: I’ll stay too
Anakin: No, you’re coming with us
Han: No way
Anakin: What if Ezra’s your son?
Han:
Ezra: um
Ezra: no thank you
Asajj: One of you needs to just stab him already and get this whole thing over with
Han:
Cara: Aaaaaaaand, time to go find the Duolingo headquarters!
Din: Anakin, you know where this thing is, right?
Anakin: About that
Din: R i g h t ?
Anakin: We’ll see.
Anakin: Just follow me.
Anakin: I can find a map somewhere.
Jyn: So… I guess we’re playing follow-the-idiot?
Zorii: Guess so.
Zorii: And Ben, please try not to lose a hand.
Zorii: This trip’s already cursed enough.
Notes:
Apparently “we’re gonna die” is Jyn’s catchphrase now. It is unclear whether that’s because she always assumes the worst so she isn’t let down or because she and her chaos squadron always seems to end up in life-threatening situations.
Chapter 41: “Which Direction is North?”, “How Many People Can We Fit in an Elevator?”, and other fun games to play with friends
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Din: I think we are officially completely lost.
Anakin: No, I know exactly where we are.
Anakin: Duolingo headquarters should be right over…there
Asajj: That is a clothing store.
Anakin: uh….there!
Obi-Wan: That’s a diner.
Anakin: There?
Rey: Oooh, flowers!
Anakin: um. there???
Cassian: Book store.
Cara: Keep going, eventually you have to get it right.
Din: How about we go find a map?
Anakin: Where’s the fun in that?
Zorii: In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s been raining for the past ten minutes, and we’ve been wandering around the city for the past twenty.
Fennec: yeah let’s grab a map before din starts rusting
Din:
Din: I am right here and I have working ears.
Fennec: Good for you.
Leia: Okay, according to the map that we should’ve picked up twenty minutes ago, it’s two streets over.
Jyn: Why didn’t we do this from the beginning?
Leia: Ask Anakin.
Jyn: With a weapon?
Leia: I mean… I won’t stop you.
Anakin: Please don’t ask Anakin with a weapon-
Din: well would you look at that, we’re here-
Anakin: WELCOME… TO THE DUOLINGO HEADQUARTERS!!!!
Wrecker: people are staring now
Quinlan: people were already staring
Cassian: We probably should’ve put more effort into blending in with Earth fashions.
Anakin: Where’s the fun in that?
Rey: Do we have to go inside? It’s raining out…
Din:
Echo:
Asajj:
Poe: Yes, that was a serious question
Poe: You get used to it after a while.
Anakin: No, you’re coming with us.
Rey: ok fine :(
Anakin: Din, I’m guessing that map doesn’t show the inside of the Duolingo headquarters?
Din: it’s…a street map…
Anakin: What?
Din: It’s not a building map…
Anakin: So… I guess no one knows where we’re going?
Obi-Wan: Then you are lost!
Obi-Wan: Seriously, we’re very lost. I don’t think we should be here.
Anakin: Of course we should be here.
Poe: Just smile and wave, everyone. Smile and wave.
Poe: Jyn, stop smiling. You look like someone is holding you at gunpoint.
Jyn: oh okay gimme a second
Poe: Jyn, I said stop. Now you look like you’re holding someone at gunpoint.
Jyn: alright im done
Poe: Thank you.
Anakin: ONWARDS, AS I LEAD US TO VICTORY!!!
Ben: i think we left victory behind a long time ago
Evaan: Any chance you could lead us to a bathroom?
Quinlan: Well now that you mention it…
Anakin: I REFUSE TO BE STOPPED BY SOMETHING AS TRIVIAL AS A BATHROOM BREAK
Quinlan: Divide and conquer?
Din: I’m not leaving a group of you alone unsupervised.
Anakin: …Fine. Quick bathroom break.
Evaan: Where’s the bathrooms?
Zorii: go ask the pretty lady over at the desk
Evaan: nooooo no talk to people
Zorii: pretty
Zorii: p r e t t y
Kaydel: ◕︵◕
Zorii: wdym “◕︵◕”, she’s obviously not as pretty as you <3
Din: Everyone here is so smooth and then there’s Anakin “I Hate Sand” Skywalker
Maul: What can you say? It’s Anakin.
Anakin: THE SAND WAS ONE TIME, CAN YOU GUYS JUST LET IT GO
Evaan: LET IT GO
Evaan: LET IT GOOOOOOOOOO
Jyn: CAN’T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOREEEE
Jyn: LET IT GO, LET IT GOOOOOOO
Jyn: TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR
Poe: did you really have to start singing out loud?
Jyn: Yes.
Cara: Bathrooms are on the fourth floor.
Anakin: EVERYONE
Anakin: TO THE ELEVATORS
Rey: oh not again
Din: last time i was in an elevator, i had a severed head with me
Maul: Is that a threat?
Din: No, it was a statement of fact. My life is a mess.
Cassian: *casually moves away from Din*
Obi-Wan: Please stop stepping on my feet.
Cassian: Sorry, there’s too many people in here.
Leia: Maybe we should make a rational decision for once and split up into multiple elevators…
Fennec: Where’s the fun in that?
Fennec: whoever just pulled my braid is going to die
Fennec: It’s fun being crammed in an elevator together!
Anakin: Come on, we still have to fit four more people.
Cara: Everyone pretend you like each other!
Obi-Wan: This is most uncivilized.
Cara: Hmm…
Cara: Luke, get on Din’s shoulders.
Din: That’s not going to end well for either of us-
Cara: Fine, get on Din’s back.
Luke: I-
Cara: Stop pretending you guys aren’t head over heels already
Din: We’re not??? Where did that come from??
Cara: …just stop denying it and let luke get on your back.
Fennec: I think we can fit people on top…
Jyn: EVERYONE SUCK IN YOUR STOMACH AND DON’T BREATHE
Luke: Fennec’s braid is tickling my nose 😭
Fennec: i swear by the force, if you sneeze on me i will end you
Anakin: Okay, that’s everyone!
Anakin: …who can reach the buttons?
Poe: I SEE THE LIGHT
Poe: wait no i can only reach the top half
Poe: Who can get to four?
Jyn: one of you jedi people, do a jedi thing
Han: That’s not how the force works-
Maul:
Han: that…isn’t how the force works, right?
Maul: debatable.
Cassian: I GOT IT
Cassian: Kriff, wait. That’s floor 3.
Cara: JUST DEAL WITH IT
Cara: WE’LL FIND ANOTHER WAY TO THE FOURTH FLOOR, I’M DYING OVER HERE
Poe: Anyone else have a face full of Mandalorian armor right now?
Rey: i have…something
Zorii:
Rey: source of that something is debatable…possibly a blaster?
Din: sorry
Quinlan: NO DON’T MOVE YOU’RE GOING TO CRUSH ME
Din: SORRY
Obi-Wan: Stay strong, everyone. I think we’re on the second floor.
Ben: if this thing stops…
Armitage: NO
Armitage: WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY IT
Armitage: KRIFFING SKYWALKERS AND THEIR KRIFFING HORRIBLE LUCK
Leia: HOW DO YOU THINK WE FEEL???
Ben: just one more floor. just one more floor. just one more-
Maul: WE’RE HERE
Jyn: DON’T TALK ABOUT BRUNO
Maul: WHO
Jyn: FORGET IT
Cara: I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
Poe: I never thought I would be so happy to taste nice, fresh, recycled air.
Fennec: as good as it feels to breathe without inhaling someone else’s stink, how are we getting to the bathrooms?
Ben: stairways: the fourth floor awakens
Fennec: oh yeah, stairs
Anakin: Imagine completely forgetting stairs exist.
Fennec: Imagine getting so lost that you can’t tell the difference between a shoe store and the Duolingo headquarters.
Hunter: Imagine thinking this trip was a good idea.
Anakin: It WAS a good idea!
Hunter: no, it was an excellent idea
Hunter: i’m so glad we’re not still stuck at that orange nightmare
Quinlan: Guys, as fun as this is, BATHROOMS
Anakin: Ahh, yes
Anakin: ONWARDS!!!! TO…uh
Anakin: ONWARDS, TO TOILETRIES!!!!!
Din: here we go again…
Notes:
This has nothing to do with the chapter, but does anyone know when Reylo Week is/if it’s happening this year? All I’ve been able to find information for is Spring Into Reylo, just wondering if there’s any official week/theme this year.
Chapter 42: Exploring the Headquarters (aka wandering aimlessly and trying not to get thrown out)
Chapter Text
Anakin: So… where to?
Fennec: You said you had the whole trip planned out
Anakin: I didn’t say I know what we’re doing when we get here
Din: So what you’re saying is this is going to go downhill very fast
Asajj: What are we even supposed to do here?
Anakin: whatever we usually do?
Jyn: chaos?
Jyn: i don’t wanna make a mess of peoples’ work though
Din: why is it that you’ll respect that here but not at home
Jyn: every time i destroy that house i am destroying government property :)
Wrecker: Chaotic good
Din: why are you so anti-government
Jyn: says the criminal
Din:
Din: I can explain
Anakin: No you can’t, we’re leaving
Poe: Quinlan is still in the bathroom
Anakin: Survival of the fittest.
Obi-Wan: Can I just lock him in a closet?
Cara: Quinlan or Anakin?
Anakin: Are there different answers to those?
Cara: yes. definitely.
Anakin: Sure, let’s lock Quinlan in a closet.
Cara:
Han: Imagine being that oblivious.
Rey:
Zori: i don’t want to say it but i want to say it
Armitage: can i say it
Poe: NO
Ben: If you say it we will end you.
Poe: Exactly.
Zorii: this may be the reason the resistance and first order reach a truce
Rey: you may be right
Quinlan: Hey guys, what did I miss?
Anakin: INTO THE CLOSET
Poe: *war flashbacks*
Fennec: w h y
Fennec: *war flashbacks*
Rey: imagine coming out 😅
Zorii: what
Poe: Exactly.
Ben: she’s bi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Poe: Pretty sure I found out by accident.
Rey: pretty sure i found out by accident
Fennec: *slow clap*
Jyn: So who are we locking in the closet?
Zorii: I’M NOT GOING BACK TO JAIL-
Quinlan: 💀
Quinlan: I’m beginning to think I missed a crucial detail.
Cara: You definitely did.
Echo: What are we doing here?
Anakin: I dunno, let’s explore.
Anakin: Welcome to the Duolingo headquarters. I will be your tour guide today, for your grand tour.
Anakin: everybody just play along and look official
Din: That’s going to be hard.
Echo: Nothing unprofessional about a group of idiots sneaking through a business building.
Din: Am I idiots?
Jyn: You’re that one brain cell we keep around for talking down the cops.
Anakin: I’m obviously not idiots.
Cassian: I hate to break it to you…
Asajj: No you don’t.
Cassian: You’re right, I take that back. I really don’t.
Cassian: You are definitely idiots, Anakin.
Maul: The seduction of the dark side 😈
Zorii: wait, if i turn to the dark side i get to be brutally honest all the time?
Maul: Pretty much.
Jyn:
Jyn: guys
Jyn: i think i might be on the dark side
Cara: Jyn sitting on top of the dark side.
Leia: Jyn, get off the dark side! Padmé says it’s my turn to sit on it!
Jyn: on the dark side, in the dark side, consumed by the dark side, whatever.
Asajj: consume the dark side
Armitage: consummate the dark side
Leia: leave
Armitage: With pleasure
Anakin: NO
Anakin: NO LEAVING
Din: is it too early to steal paper from the copier machines and make ‘send help’ signs?
Quinlan: At least wait a few more floors.
Han: How many more floors are there?
Ben: Too many.
Fennec: Which way to the food? I think all our snacks were destroyed in the crash.
Poe: SO YOU ADMIT IT THEN
Poe: YOU ADMIT IT WAS A CRASH
Fennec: NO I SAID NOTHING
Fennec: I THINK ALL OUR SNACK WERE DESTROYED IN THE CHAOTIC LANDING
Poe: CRASH
Poe: SHE SAID CRASH
Poe: BACK ME UP GUYS
Obi-Wan: We’re trying to stop Anakin from breaking the copying machine.
Din: I think we should take advantage of all this paper lying around and make some ‘save us’ signs
Wrecker: If Anakin doesn’t use it all for copying pictures of his metal hand.
Jannah: GUYS HELP
Fennec: WHAT NOW
Jannah: MY HAIR
Kaydel: IT LOOKS FINE, YOU NEED TO BE MORE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF
Jannah:
Jannah: IT’S STUCK
Obi-Wan: IT’S WHAT
Jannah: IT’S STUCK IN THE COPY MACHINE
Anakin: COPY JANNAH’S HAIR
Obi-Wan: OKAY I’LL GO FIND SCISSORS
Anakin: nO GET BACK HERE-
Fennec: Wait this has happened to me before.
Han: You’ve broken into a building and gotten your hair stuck in a copy machine?
Fennec:
Fennec: no but i got my braid stuck in a door while sneaking into an imperial base once
Jannah: that’s arguably cooler than this
Fennec: there was very little dignity or ‘cool’ involved
Fennec: Cara, help me out here
Cara: I’M BUSY HELPING ANAKIN CHASE OBI-WAN
Fennec:
Rey: I can be Cara
Rey: Minus the pulling weapons out of thin air.
Rey: I can pull weapons through the air though.
Fennec: Great, you’re acting Cara.
Rey: :)
Fennec: Help me get Jannah’s hair out of the copying machine
Rey: On it
Fennec: No, no, Cara would protest and suggest shooting something
Rey: oh
Rey: What if we shoot the copy machine instead? That’ll… get her hair unstuck?
Maul: wow
Maul: she almost sounds just like cara
Poe: she does, it’s scary
Fennec: No, we’re going to untangle it.
Jannah: phew
Rey: Fine 🙄
Evaan: Why are we all clustered around the copy machine?
Cassian: Would you rather gather around the stack of paper?
Evaan: No.
Cassian: Well this is the only other object in the room we can gather around ominously.
Leia: He has a point.
Jannah: I’M FREE
Jannah: THANK YOU FENNEC AND ACTING-CARA
Fennec: Yep
Rey: np
Rey: we should go shoot something now
Din: Okay you can stop being Cara now.
Din: One is enough.
Echo: More than enough.
Obi-Wan: I HAVE RETURNED WITH SCISSORS
Jyn: oh
Jyn: we don’t need those anymore
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: WELL I’M USING THEM SO LET’S GO FIND SOMETHING TO CUT
Anakin: ONWARDS!!!!!
Fennec: Preferably towards some food?
Anakin: Sure, how hard can it be to find a mess hall?
Din:
Din: i don’t want to know the answer to that question
Chapter 43: Trading for Food… Any Takers?
Chapter Text
Anakin: WHERE IS EVERYONE
Wrecker: WE LOST ANAKIN
Din: FINALLY
Anakin: oh hey din
Din: NOOOOOOOOOO
Anakin: Where’s everyone else?
Din: SOMEBODY SAVE ME I’M LOST IN A BUILDING WITH ANAKIN
Din: AS IF BEING WITH ANAKIN WEREN’T ENOUGH
Fennec: Entertainment at its finest.
Quinlan: Being alone with Anakin isn’t something I’d wish on anyone.
Jyn: Except Padmé.
Quinlan: Yeah, except Padmé.
Rey: Window!!!
Din: as tempting as it is, i’m not using the window as an escape option just yet
Cara: No, she found a window.
Rey: GUYS IT’S STILL RAINING
Poe: Wait until we get back to the compounds!
Rey: but what if it’s not raining at the compounds
Poe: It has to rain sometime.
Rey: It’s a desert…
Din: How are you going to get past Anakin?
Rey:
Din: Exactly.
Fennec: Guys, food?
Din: Ask Anakin, he’s supposedly in charge.
Anakin: I HAVE FOUND THE FOOD!
Evaan: That’s a storage closet.
Anakin: That is indeed a storage closet.
Fennec: IT BURNS
Fennec: HELP ME, I CAN’T HANDLE THE PROXIMITY TO THE CLOSET
Fennec: IT’S TOO PAINFUL
Quinlan: W-what about all the closets at base?
Cara: We destroyed the doors to our closet and turned it into a storage area for random stuff
Zorii: destroy all the closets
Cara: louder
Zorii: DESTROY ALL THE CLOSETS
Cara: YEAH
Zorii: Are we actually going to destroy all the closets
Cara: Probably not
Din: NO YOU WILL NOT
Anakin: GUYS I ACTUALLY FOUND THE MESS HALL
Fennec: REALLY?
Jyn: IS IT POSSIBLE
Maul: I don’t believe it.
Maul: He actually found it.
Obi-Wan: Anakin??? Actually guiding us in the right direction????
Anakin: GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS
Obi-Wan: I take that back. This is not going in the right direction at all.
Ben: Who’s explaining this to the FBI because I refuse.
Anakin: WE REQUIRE SUSTENANCE, AND THIS IS APPARENTLY THE PLACE TO FIND IT
Cassian: My life has become a badly written comedy holo
Din: i just wanted my kid and my ship and now i have all of these idiots
Din: And Padmé.
Maul: At least there’s Padmé.
Maul: Not something I ever thought I’d say, but here we are in a completely different galaxy watching Anakin Skywalker deliver the worst speech I have ever heard.
Leia: At least public speaking skills don’t run in the family.
Ben: Should we get him out of here?
Echo: I know Anakin.
Echo: There’s no getting him out of this without destroying something.
Hunter: Potentially us.
Echo: Yeah, potentially us.
Anakin: SO YEAH, FOOD WOULD BE NICE
Anakin: OH AND IF YOU GUYS COULD MAKE SURE THE SHINY METAL GUY DOESN’T TRY TO SNEAK OUT, THAT WOULD BE NICE
Din:
Fennec: s h i n y m e t a l g u y
Din: rey, do you remember where that window is?
Rey: Yeah
Din: can you please direct me towards it
Din: i would like to leave the building
Anakin: NO
Anakin: ANYWAY, WE WOULD LIKE SOME FOOD AND CONVERSATION AND STUFF
Anakin: WE HAVE PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF A SHINY METAL GUY AND AN ANNOYING GUY WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT GETTING STABBED A LOT, AND IF WE NEED TO WE ALSO HAVE A SALTY LADY WHO LIKES WEAPONS A LITTLE TOO MUCH
Fennec: is that me
Jyn: is that me
Cara: i wouldn’t call myself THAT salty
Zorii: i would definitely call myself salty and in need of weapons
Asajj: this describes me on a personal level i never knew existed
Anakin: I MEANT JYN BUT WE CAN SACRIFICE ALL OF YOU IF NECESSARY
Asajj: HEY HOLD UP, SACRIFICE ?
Anakin: IF NECESSARY
Quinlan: did we leave the popcorn on the bus
Wrecker: unfortunately
Din: Can’t we just trade Anakin?
Fennec:
Fennec: Wait.
Cara: OKAY LISTEN UP HOW ABOUT WE TRADE THE GUY YELLING FOR FOOD
Maul: EVERYONE IS YELLING, YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY
Cara: THE GUY WILLING TO TRADE ALL OF US FOR FOOD
Cara: WELL WE’VE TAKEN A VOTE AND WE’D RATHER TRADE HIM FOR FOOD
Evaan: Did I miss us taking a vote?
Cara: I’m just assuming we’d all agree to trade Anakin.
Quinlan: Can’t argue there.
Anakin: HEY WAIT NO
Anakin: YOU CAN’T TRADE ME, I’M THE ONE WHO ORGANIZED THIS WHOLE TRIP!
Din: WHAT PART OF THIS HAS BEEN ORGANIZED
Cara: Finally, he says something intelligent.
Din:
Cara: WHO’S WILLING TO TAKE ANAKIN FOR FOOD
Evaan: WE’RE EATING ANAKIN???
Cara: NO
Cara: WERE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF CONVERSATION
Evaan: NOT REALLY
Obi-Wan: WE’RE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO USE THE SCISOSRS ON
Jyn: Scisosrs.
Cassian: Have you tried Han yet?
Han:
Poe: oh force
Ben:
Zorii: This has to violate some form of time-space continuity.
Jyn: We passed that a long time ago.
Jyn: I’m trying to get over the fact that Cassian isn’t choosing the rational decision for once.
Cassian: When have I been rational?
Jyn: fair
Obi-Wan: HAN COME OVER HERE FOR A MINUTE
Han: NO
Cara: ANY TAKERS??? ANAKIN FOR FOOD???
Poe: watch melinda show up
Echo: Watch Padmé show up.
Asajj: no. that’s too frightening to consider.
Din: Somebody please save me.
Rey: I know where the nearest window is!
Din:
Anakin: NOBODY IS LEAVING THIS BUILDING
Hunter: Do we even have a way to get back to the compounds?
Cassian: Probably not…
Fennec: Remember when we thought Anakin had everything under control?
Quinlan: Absolutely not.
Chapter 44: New Arrivals!
Chapter Text
Cara: COME ON, PLEASE?
Cara: ANY TAKERS???
Cara: ANAKIN FOR FOOD?
Quinlan: it’s anakin
Cara: They could take pity on us!
Quinlan: it’s anakin.
Cara: fine.
Asajj: Wait, I think you have a taker.
Asajj: nevermind
Poe: uh
Poe: guys?
Cara: Yeah?
Poe: someone’s coming towards us
Quinlan: holy force
Quinlan: tell me if i’m hallucinating
Din: i see a larger version of grogu and a tall angry man
Din: and a slightly less tall woman
Anakin: HEY I KNOW THOSE GUYS!!!
Quinlan: SO I’M NOT HALLUCINATING THEN
Cara: IT COULD BE A GROUP HALLUCINATION
Anakin: someone not from our timeline slap me
Anakin: i need to make sure i’m not hallucinating
Jyn: I’ve waited 32 years for this.
Cassian: jyn, you are 21
Jyn: I’ve waited 32 years for this.
Cassian: jyn, you just met him a couple weeks ago
Jyn: I’ve waited 32 years for this .
Cassian:
Cassian: fine.
Anakin: JUST SLAP ME ALREADY
Anakin: I NEED TO KNOW IF WE’RE IN TROUBLE OR NOT
Jyn: Okay.
Jyn: Remember, you told me to do this.
Han:
Armitage:
Evaan:
Obi-Wan: well
Obi-Wan: That echoed.
Anakin: ow
Anakin: i think she shot me
Jyn: You asked for it.
Fennec: Note to self, never anger Jyn Erso.
Cassian: look at my girlfriend go
Jyn: What?
Cassian: I said those people are coming up behind you.
Cara: Haven’t we established that you two are together?
Cassian: Have we?
Poe: Well now we have.
Jyn: cassian
Jyn: have we established that we’re together
Cassian: ┬┴┬┴┤(・_・)├┬┴┬┴
Cassian: ┬┴┬┴┤(・_├┬┴┬┴
Cassian: ┬┴┬┴┤├┬┴┬┴
Din: I guess we can add them to the list of people who will be having a Talk when we get home.
Ben: There’s a list?
Din: Not really
Din: Right now it’s just Jyn and Cassian.
Ben:
Din: Fennec and Tech will probably also be having a Talk about the bus-plane.
Din: I don’t know how that will turn out for our general safety.
Anakin: WAIT SO
Anakin: IF I CAN FEEL PAIN
Anakin: BECAUSE THAT WAS VERY PAINFUL
Anakin: THAT MEANS WE’RE NOT HALLUCINATING
Rey: Maybe you hallucinated Jyn slapping you.
Asajj: That’s kind of a weird thing to hallucinate
Rey: i’ve seen worse
Anakin: GUYS THE JEDI COUNCIL IS HERE
Anakin: I’M SCREWED
Zorii: And?
Han: Join the club
Obi-Wan: oh kriff
Obi-Wan: i’m screwed too
Zorii: oh
Zorii: Think there’s still time to use that window exit?
Anakin: So you’ll help HIM, but not me?
Maul: It’s fairly normal for you to be screwed.
Maul: Hey wait, am I screwed too?
Quinlan: You’re wanted by the Jedi Council, so probably.
Maul: rey where’s the window
Rey: Two lefts and a right and about halfway down the hallway
Rey: next to the poster with the giant green owl on it
Maul: thanks
Maul: see you guys back at the compounds
Anakin: NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE
Anakin: hey can someone add them to the chat
Anakin: it’s too crowded in here to talk about classified business out loud
Poe: Classified business? Are we dealing drugs?
Finn: Again, Poe?
Finn: We can’t escape…
Ben: I think he means us.
Ben: We’re living in a government base.
Ben: I don’t think that information is just available to the public.
Poe: True.
Finn: guys we have the legal status of drugs.
Poe: that sounds about right
Poe: cause whenever i’m with you i feel so high
Finn: I- 🥰
Din: EVERYONE
Din: EVERYONE IN THIS FORCE FORSAKEN CHAT IS SO SMOOTH
Din: E V E R Y O N E B U T A N A K I N
Anakin: don’t remind me
Fennec invited Larger Grogu
Fennec invited Tall Angry Man
Fennec invited Average-Sized Mildly Attractive Woman
Tall Angry Man: what
Tall Angry Man: this galaxy hates me.
Average-Sized Mildly Attractive Woman: I don’t know, mine isn’t that bad.
Larger Grogu: Grogu, who is?
Fennec: I don’t know any of your names so I put in random stuff for your contacts
Fennec: This is entirely off of first impressions.
Quinlan: I-
Quinlan: as someone who knows everyone you just added, i find that excellent
Quinlan: though as someone who works for everyone you just added, i’m not at liberty to tell you how much you got correct
Han: hey am i related to any of you?
Tall Angry Man: no, why?
Han: …no reason
Average-Sized Mildly Attractive Woman: Well my name is Depa, and it’s good to meet friends of Anakin and Obi-Wan and Quinlan’s.
Din: Friends of Anakin may be stretching it.
Tall Angry Man: Understandable.
Tall Angry Man: And my name is Mace Windu.
Larger Grogu: Yoda, I am.
Fennec: Got it. One second…
Depa: Testing?
Yoda: Worked, it has.
Mace Windows: Good. Now let’s get down to business: what are all of you doing here?
Mace Windows:
Maul:
Armitage: doth mine eyne deceive me
Ben: please speak basic
Armitage: window man
Mace Windows: Change this. Immediately.
Fennec: i couldn’t resist
Mace: Better?
Mace: Good.
Mace: Now what are all of you doing here?
Asajj:
Han:
Jyn: IT WAS ANAKIN’S IDEA
Anakin: …
Yoda: Surprised, why am I not?
Chapter 45: The Perfect Place to Have an Argument is in a Duolingo Cafeteria (at least according to Anakin)
Notes:
Huge thanks to 19BBY and Please leave your weapons at the door for suggesting the Jedi Council and Depa show up!!!
Chapter Text
Anakin: It wasn’t all my fault!
Anakin: Fennec crashed the bus!
Fennec: it is not a bus and that was not a crash
Poe: More of an aggressive landing.
Din: this is getting ridiculous
Mace: First of all, what are you doing on Earth?
Cara: Honestly? We don’t know either.
Depa: When did you get here?
Evaan: To the Duolingo building? Earlier today.
Mace: What about to Earth?
Din: Couple weeks to a month, give or take.
Quinlan: Did you guys just get here?
Obi-Wan: we’re in the prescience of jedi masters, and that’s what you’re going to say
Obi-Wan: so this is how quinlan dies…
Quinlan: …fine
Quinlan: Did you arrive on this planet recently?
Asajj: *laughs in i don’t have to follow jedi rules*
Yoda: Curious, I am, of why working with criminals you are.
Maul: anakin….
Anakin: what?
Maul: window…
Anakin: …maybe.
Leia: Bold of you to assume any of us are working together as a coherent group.
Depa: I don’t know if I’d like to hear this answer, but who are some of these people?
Obi-Wan: It’s… a long story, masters.
Anakin: They’re from the future!
Jyn: We come in relative peace.
Fennec: We really don’t.
Jyn: We come with no sense of peace except for Din.
Din: hi i’m din
Armitage: Din is our brain cell.
Armitage: Cassian is half a brain cell.
Cara: All together, we have only two brain cells.
Armitage: where did the other half come from???
Cara: what other half
Maul: See? Very low on brain cells.
Mace: Okay, but what are you all doing here? Where have you been staying?
Fennec: I’m surprised they didn’t find us yet. We had that whole Area 51 field trip…
Hunter: the orange one. thank the force you had the orange field trip. it was horrible. everything was orange.
Mace: Just answer the question.
Din: We live at Area 51 and Anakin decided to take a field trip here.
Yoda: Done well you have, young Skywalker.
Luke: what did i do
Din: wrong skywalker
Luke: oh
Anakin: What did I do?
Yoda: Brought your friends to us, you have.
Anakin: uh
Anakin: Of course! That was my plan all along!
Mace:
Mace: By show of hands, how many of you are from the future?
Han: Am I from the future?
Poe: Yes, but I’m even more from the future.
Cara: i’m somewhere in the middle here
Kaydel: heheh i’m the most from the future
Armitage: No??? How old are you?
Mace: Please just listen.
Mace: If you’re from a time after the current Republic-Seperatist war, raise your hand.
Fennec: What if I lived through it but I came here from a time after that?
Mace: raise your hand.
Depa: That’s a lot of hands.
Yoda: Deal with this, do we really have to?
Cara: Yes.
Cara: We need help escaping Anakin
Din: You understood that?
Cara: somewhat
Mace: You haven’t broken the first rule of time traveling, right?
Quinlan: the what
Jyn: din you know a lot of rules
Jyn: what does that mean
Din: i don’t know
Echo: I’ve begun to realize that you know you’re in trouble when Din doesn’t know a rule.
Mace: Those of you haven’t told anyone from the past what happens in the future, correct?
Ben:
Jyn:
Luke:
Maul: i think we passed that a long time ago
Mace: …What do they know?
Fennec: Giant murder planet
Fennec: Han gets stabbed
Fennec: 90% of the people here are related to Anakin in some way
Yoda: Tell those from the past about the future, you do not.
Yoda: Common sense that is!
Din: Yeah, we don’t have a lot of that here.
Cassian: So… you’re Jedi?
Quinlan: Yes.
Quinlan: Hardcore Jedi.
Quinlan: Like Obi-Wan, minus the spiders.
Evaan: Ahhhh.
Obi-Wan: can we just stop talking about the spiders
Fennec: Even the one on your head?
Obi-Wan: JHAFKHFSHJASDJASD WHERE
Fennec: heheheh
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: Fennec why
Depa: We… have a lot to unpack here.
Cara: As great as that sounds, someone else is coming over here and I think they actually work here.
Yoda: Work here we do.
Cara: yeah but i think this is someone from earth
Evaan: Brace yourselves.
Evaan: We’re about to establish contact with an entirely new species.
Evaan: What we say here could go down in history.
Cara: What about Melinda?
Maul: Technically she doesn’t count cause we didn’t talk to her.
Maul: We just shot at each other a lot.
Asajj: Not to ruin the whole serious moment we’re having, but are you telling me the first official contact Ahsoka had with humans was “Hi, welcome to McDonalds”???
Din: there was nothing serious about this moment
Evaan: Remember, everyone. First contact with a foreign species.
Cara: Didn’t Anakin and I just…yell at all of them…
Anakin: HI PERSON
Anakin: I LIKE YOUR GREEN BIRD OVERLORD
Maul: It’s moments like this when I genuinely consider joining the light side.
Quinlan: nahhh cause then you get in trouble for it
Quinlan: at least you guys are mostly self-governed
Asajj: plus we get cooler outfits
Asajj: and cooler weapons
Obi-Wan: I beg to differ
Obi-Wan: At least I can survive in a desert without roasting.
Maul: Does your lightsaber have two blades?
Obi-Wan: Does your outfit have pockets?
Asajj:
Asajj: how dare you target my greatest weakness
Rey: Is this seriously why we’re still at war after decades?
Poe: i think so
Ben: You can’t deny that my lightsaber is better than yours
Rey: i dont even have mine
Rey: because SOMEBODY broke it
Ben: Part of that was your fault.
Zorii: I thought you fixed it?
Rey: If you count sealing it back together and hoping it works, then yes
Poe: are you telling me there was a possibility that thing imploded on itself for the last few months
Rey: ever since crait
Poe: *slowly edges away from rey*
Zorii: oooh exploding lightsaber
Fennec: This is the only light vs dark discourse i want to see on this planet
Jyn: you guys from the future, i swear if you don’t break the cycle i’m going to haunt you for all eternity
Din: She’ll keep that promise.
Armitage: We know.
Jyn: oooooOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOooooo imma ghost
Depa: don’t think that’s how it works, but alright
Anakin: YES WE’VE PULLED DEPA INTO THE CHAOS
Mace:
Anakin: sorry masters
Yoda: Deal with this, we need to.
Mace: Where do we even start…?
Chapter 46: BONUS CHAPTER/PREVIEW THING
Notes:
Finished a pretty big chapter of my life today… so here’s a celebratory bonus chapter with even more crack! This may or may not become part of the storyline later, depending on how many people end up inured or arrested
Oh, and happy Ace day! (at least according to the online pride calendar i found)
Chapter Text
Jyn: Who stole the sanitary products???
Anakin: The what???
Jyn: In the girls’ compound bathrooms
Jyn: You know, the sanitary products
Leia: The feminine hygiene products?
Rey: the what
Zorii: can we please just say pads
Rey: apparently not
Ezra: Where where they last seen?
Fennec: Girls’ compound bathroom, on the shelf
Anakin:
Anakin: would you happen to be speaking of a green cardboard box?
Fennec: Yes…
Anakin: i might happen to know where they are
Jyn: Anakin, what did you do with them?
Anakin: i might be using them to clean up my failed attempt at making fuel for the bus
Jyn: …
Jyn: get the knives
Fennec: The throwing knives or the kitchen knives?
Jyn: any knives
Jyn: stab anakin for me
Fennec: Blood will be spilled
Rey: There’s…another box in the other bathroom…
Anakin: The purple cardboard box?
Rey:
Anakin: Yeah I’m using that one too.
Asajj: p e r i s h
Obi-Wan: For force’s sakes Anakin, what did you do now?
Cara: P E R I S H
Din: what happened i just woke up and there’s around twenty people stampeding by my room-
Leia: That seems pretty normal for you.
Din: It is, I’d just like to know what it’s about this time.
Jyn: i started my day in a pool of blood and that’s how i’m going to end anakin’s
Rey: Isn’t there a box in the guys’ compound bathroom?
Maul: if you’re talking about the yellow box, it may or may not have caught on fire
Zorii: i’m sorry, it what
Ben: he set it on fire
Ben: we’re not sure why
Obi-Wan: IS THAT WHAT WAS BURNING
Maul: YEAH
Obi-Wan: WE HAD TO DISMANTLE THE FIRE ALARMS SO NO ONE CAME TO ARREST US
Anakin: I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMMABLE
Anakin: PLUS THE HEATING SYSTEM BROKE
Leia: THERE ARE EASIER WAYS TO KEEP WARM
Din: hold up
Din: is leia a part of the stampede going after anakin
Fennec: Yep
Din: oh
Din: im not even going to try to break it up then
Din: jyn and fennec and cara and asajj AND leia… not worth the pain or time
Ezra: That’s fair
Anakin: HELP THEY’RE ALL TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR
Anakin: AND THEY HAVE KNIVES
Anakin: H E L P M E
Armitage: No, I don’t think I will.
Armitage: Who knows how to hide a body?
Ben: unfortunately me
Hunter: I’ll get the Bad Batch on it
Hunter: Kid, you and Echo go scout out a suitable burial spot.
Poe: ahh, the sweet, sweet sound of utter chaos and bloodthirsty threats
Chapter 47: Anakin Gets a Proposal… And Some Other Stuff Happens
Chapter Text
Din: So… all of you have just been working for a giant bird overlord this whole time?
Yoda:
Yoda: Have the wrong idea, I believe you do.
Depa: Bird… overlord…?
Jyn: Anakin told us you work for a giant green bird
Jyn: And he teaches you languages.
Anakin: I did not put it exactly that way-
Fennec: You did. You definitely did.
Yoda: Work for a bird, we do not.
Maul: Maybe that’s just what the bird wants you to think.
Jyn: i was about to say that but alright go ahead steal my line-
Depa: We don’t work for a bird. We work for a normal company, trying to fit in as normal people.
Cara: *stares pointedly at larger grogu*
Depa: Yes, that part is harder to disguise as normal.
Depa: Most people are just too tired to care.
Obi-Wan: Are there any more masters working here???
Yoda: Looking for Master Qui-Gon, you are.
Yoda: Regret to inform you, we do, that not here, he is.
Obi-Wan: I understand, Master.
Mace: However, there is one more master around here somewhere…
Depa: Plo Koon. He immediately adopted everyone in the building and he goes around checking in on his ‘children’. They haven’t fired him yet because he’s a huge morale booster.
Fennec: So he’s your guys’ version of Din
Din: im not sure whether that was an insult or a compliment
Fennec: it was a statement of fact. you’ve accidentally adopted everyone you come across.
Quinlan: Wait… Ahsoka’s master is here?
Anakin: i'm right here
Quinlan: Her other one
Anakin: yeah i guess he’s here too
Quinlan: She’s gonna flip
Quinlan: She missed out on meeting her master so she could work for a clown overlord.
Depa: Ahsoka is working for a WHAT
Din: She works for a clown overlord.
Din: It’s fine. That kind of thing is normal here.
Depa: Do we need to rescue her?
Poe: Nah she’s fine
Poe: Except when she has to deal with Karens, but aside from that she’s fine.
Mace: I’ve just finished talking to the Duolingo representative. They have… an interesting request.
Jyn: Does it involve murder because I can do that
Cassian: They’re probably kicking us out of the building.
Cara: Are they actually going to trade Anakin for food?
Cara: heheheh now he’s their problem
Mace: Anakin…
Armitage: Are they seriously taking Anakin for food?
Armitage: big mistake but alright
Mace: Duolingo would like to hire you.
Anakin:
Anakin: wait what
Han: They want ANAKIN?
Anakin: Why me?
Mace: They’d like to discuss some things with you…
Mace: They have a new advertising pitch that involves you dressing up as the Duolingo owl and causing chaos.
Asajj: So you DO work for a bird overlord.
Zorii: Anakin’s going to become the bird overlord?
Cassian: I heard causing chaos and that’s definitely a job for Anakin.
Anakin: I’m getting a job?
Anakin: what are the rest of them going to do all day while i’m at work
Din: revel in the peace and quiet
Din: and stop fennec and cara from breaking any more laws
Jyn: what peace and quiet
Han: At least that’s one less person with a lightsaber…
Anakin: Do I look like I’m related to you?
Poe:
Anakin: do i look like i’d want to be
Leia:
Ben:
Ben: wait leia?
Ben: what does she know
Leia: about what
Poe: she knows some
Poe: nothing major
Anakin: do i look like somebody who wishes to be involved in whatever inside joke is going on over there?
Rey: you don’t. you really don’t.
Anakin: You’re right. I really do not.
Anakin: anyway i get to dress up and cause chaos… and get paid for it?
Mace: From what I understand, yes.
Anakin: And I get to spend all day with you guys?
Mace: Unfortunately.
Anakin: But…everyone else…
Jyn: I’LL HELP YOU CAUSE CHAOS IN A BIRD COSTUME
Anakin: NO. MY BIRD COSTUME.
Jyn: FINE CAN I JUST BE YOUR REPLACEMENT WHILE YOU’RE AT WORK THEN
Anakin: SURE
Din: Wait, what about the commute?
Han: communism?
Evaan: somebody get this man a dictionary
Din: We live across the country. How is Anakin going to get to work every day?
Yoda: Figure that out, we must
Obi-Wan: Does this mean I’ll finally be Anakin-free?
Fennec: does this mean we can’t torment anakin every waking moment of his life anymore?
Depa: You took a bus to get here, right?
Depa: we can just organize a bus route for him
Fennec: said bus may or may not have had wings
Fennec: and rocket boosters
Quinlan: She was a good bus. Scary, but good. A complete death trap, but good.
Asajj: Really sticking with the positives there, huh?
Depa: …or we can just use a spaceship instead
Fennec: it’s probably for the best. the bus is a little unusable at the moment.
Cassian: By which she means it’s a smoking pile in the middle of some park
Fennec: Only a little unusable!
Depa: Spaceship.
Fennec: Fine.
Yoda: Work with us you can. Locate any other remaining beings who have been displaced, we must.
Anakin: i still get to dress up as a green bird?
Yoda: Yes.
Anakin: i’m in.
Anakin: Padmé’s gonna be shocked
Mace: Senator Amidala is with you?
Anakin:
Obi-Wan: right. senator amidala.
Obi-Wan: who’s telling him
Anakin: nONE OF YOU
Rey: Should’ve thought about this before you went and told everyone my secret 👀
Anakin: THAT WAS PADMÉ
Rey: padmé… as in the padmé who…you know…
Anakin: rey no
Anakin: absolutely not
Din: Again with the lightsabers? Really?
Anakin: don’t you dare tell
Anakin: please?
Rey: …
Rey: okay fine. for now.
Anakin: T H A N K Y O U
Din: Lightsaber. Away. Now.
Yoda: This Din… your caretaker, he is?
Cara: Pretty much, yeah
Din: Very reluctantly, yes
Yoda: Deal with the rest of your group while Anakin is at work, can you?
Maul: That’s funny
Maul: Did he just assume that Anakin had everything under control?
Quinlan: i think so
Yoda: Master Vos, disrespecting a Jedi Master are you?
Quinlan: No, Master!
Quinlan: I would never
Obi-Wan: We’ve been… slightly more lax with the rules lately, while trying to understand this planet.
Maul: yeah that’s an understatement
Obi-Wan: shut up i can end you
Maul: sure lemme just go find a spider
Obi-Wan: shut
Maul: no
Maul: go take your high ground and perish
Yoda: Master Obi-Wan…
Obi-Wan: Sorry, Master.
Anakin: guys shut up
Cara: says you…
Anakin: I’m calling Padmé and Ahsoka and telling them about the green owl job!
Cara: Okay, everybody quiet!
Cara:
Cara: SHUT IT HE’S ON A PHONE CALL
Maul:
Evaan:
Poe:
Din: has ahsoka picked up yet?
Cara: yeah
Anakin: Hey Ahsoka, guess what?
Cassian: three…
Cassian: two…
Maul: Why are we counting?
Maul: should i be worried?
Obi-Wan: Definitely
Cassian: one…
Jyn: JANNAH HIDE THE DRUGS
Jannah: the w h a t
Jyn: THE DRUGS HIDE THE DRUGS
Jannah: o-okay?
Anakin: JYN WHY
Anakin: NOW SHE’S YELLING AT ME NOT TO “LURE ALL OF YOU INTO DOING DRUGS CAUSE SHE’S NOT COMING ALL THE WAY OUT TO’ PITTSBURGH’, WHEREVER THAT IS, TO RESCUE ALL OF US”
Jyn: ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Anakin: JYN THIS IS NOT FUNNY
Mace: He doesn’t seem to be very in charge of his charges
Cassian: Bold of you to assume anyone can be in charge of Jyn…
Mace: Does this have to do with Skywalker’s bright pink hair as well?
Wrecker: Ohhhh yes
Wrecker: That was fun!
Armitage: It may have to do with the pink hair
Leia: And the sandwich.
Armitage: i don’t want to think about the sandwich
Rey: It was a good sandwich!
Armitage: NOBODY THINKS IT WAS GOOD
Rey: YES, YES I DO
Rey: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT
Armitage:
Armitage: that’s not what i meant but alright
Din: Look, I hate to break it to you, you all seem like tolerable enough people…
Depa: Was that supposed to be a compliment?
Cara: yes
Cara: We’re working on his people skills. It’s a slow process.
Din: I think you all deserve to know the truth.
Din: Anakin has less than no control over us. End of story.
Obi-Wan: It’s true.
Asajj: with the exception of padmé (¬‿¬)
Quinlan: Asajj no
Fennec: Asajj yes
Anakin: Guys Ahsoka doesn’t believe I have a job
Anakin: Somebody tell her
Ben: It’s true, they offered him a job.
Ben: We’re all terrified for the workers here.
Anakin: See, Ahsoka? I told you I have a job now!
Anakin: ok not technically, i have to agree to it and everything. but still.
Asajj: So… would you Jedi Master people happen to have a ship? Ours is… it’s not in the best condition right now
Fennec: She’ll be fine.
Armitage: I think we’ve collectively agreed she really won’t.
Fennec: She just needs some time and a good mechanic
Armitage: at this point she just needs a funeral
Depa: We do have a ship, but fitting you all would be… difficult, to say the least.
Cassian: …Trust me when I tell you that won’t be a problem for us.
Chapter 48: Return to Sender
Chapter Text
Depa: And you’re all sure you can fit in…that?
Ezra: Oh, believe me random lady I just met a few minutes ago.
Ezra: We’ll be fine.
Quinlan: Can’t be worse than the elevator!
Rey: …which one?
Rey: i’ve had some… interesting experiences
Din: oooh same
Din: One time i was in an elevator while holding a severed head
Maul: oh yeah you mentioned that earlier
Din: there was someone else in the elevator and they kept staring at me :)
Rey:
Rey: that’s nice
Din: So how about you?
Rey: …unimportant
Jyn: Before the Duolingo headquarters, the last time I was in an elevator was right before I ended up here.
Jyn: And we were only in that elevator because SOMEONE thought it was a good idea to go RIGHT BACK INTO THE WAR ZONE WE’D JUST ESCAPED
Jyn: IN WHICH WE ALMOST DIED
Cassian: I JUST SAID WE SHOULD GO BACK FOR OUR CREW
Jyn: OUR CREW, WHO WAS D E A D
Cassian: WELL I’M SORRY, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW???
Asajj: They have some… unresolved issues.
Yoda: See that, I can.
Cara: We all can, and yet they insist on pretending not to have issues.
Cara: Like Obi-Wan and his unresolved arachnophobia!
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: Din?
Din: Me?
Obi-Wan: When does the curfew on lightsaber ignition begin?
Din:
Din: i don’t think there’s a way for me to safely answer that, considering the looks i’m getting from both of you
Rose: I’m beginning to think I missed a lot while you guys were in that building
Asajj: You certainly did
Asajj: There was an ongoing threat of people jumping out the window to escape
Rose:
Asajj: Exactly.
Mace: Anakin, we expect you to bring this ship right back tomorrow morning.
Anakin: Yes, Master.
Anakin: fennec, no crashing
Fennec: IT WASN’T A CRASH
Obi-Wan: …Maybe I should pilot
Anakin: No way. You crash too much.
Poe: I can fly!
Zorii: Yeah, I don’t think this ship is equipped to fly us upside down.
Poe: I can fly normally, you know.
Finn: Can you?
Poe: even my boyfriend won’t back me up 😭
Finn: I’ll back you up, I just won’t lie to your face
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: wow
Din: Okay, everybody in!
Fennec: Hey, I’m the pilot. I make the announcements.
Din: I don’t think you being the pilot is going to be good for our collective health.
Tech: All things considered, so far it hasn’t been good for our collective health. This will most likely continue.
Ezra: listen to him, he has logic
Quinlan: I don’t why I thought rejoining you guys would give us more brain cells because it obviously didn’t
Quinlan: Thought the bus is slightly less of a smoking wreck, so I guess that’s improvement?
Jyn: Is it?
Quinlan: i’m trying out this thing called optimism, jyn
Quinlan: you wouldn’t understand
Jyn: you’re right
Jyn: I prefer reality.
Depa: …
Anakin: Don’t worry, it’s normal.
Fennec: EVERYBODY WHO ISNT IN THE SHIP IN THE NEXT FIFTEEN SECONDS IS ROOMING WITH ANAKIN AND PADMÉ
Evaan: oh kriff no
Anakin: Wait, do I get a say in this?
Mace: You’ve been rooming with Senator Amidala, Anakin?
Anakin:
Anakin: i can explain. after i kill fennec.
Mace: Excellent job. We hadn’t considered the possibility of more nighttime assassination attempts on this new planet.
Anakin:
Quinlan: just take it anakin
Quinlan: if someone accidentally throws you a life raft, take it anyway
Anakin: Yes Master, that was exactly my plan. Our first priority is keeping the Senator safe.
Cara: This is entertaining.
Cara: I want to ruin it.
Din: no.
Cara: please?
Din: No.
Cara: ugh okay fine
Fennec: TEN SECONDS ALL OF YOU
Din: oh kriff MOVE MOVE MOVE-
Ezra: MY SHOE FELL OFF
Depa: This shoe?
Fennec: FOUR SECONDS
Ezra: YEAH JUST THROW IT
Cassian: Someone is sitting on me-
Obi-Wan: Oh. Hello there.
Cassian: hi
Cassian: please get off
Maul: GUYS MAKE ROOM I NEED TO GET IN
Fennec: THE DOORS ARE CLOSING
Maul: M O V E
Anakin: I’m on the floor somehow, people are stepping on me
Evaan: you should’ve considered that before you ended up on the floor
Han: are we making seating arrangements or am i going to be standing on anakin this whole trip?
Fennec: Thanks for your help random Jedi people!
Fennec: And thanks for getting Anakin off our hands!
Mace: May the force be with you.
Fennec: Yep and you guys WHO PULLED MY HAIR YOU’RE SLEEPING WITH ANAKIN AND PADMÉ TONIGHT
Fennec: I DON'T CARE IF THERE’S ONLY ONE BED
Mace: there’s
Mace: what now
Quinlan: WELL, GOTTA GO
Quinlan: NICE SEEING YOU GUYS
Depa: …You as well?
Yoda: Expect you to keep this ship intact, we do
Fennec: Don’t worry about it. She’s in good hands.
Fennec: OKAY WHOEVER’S LAUGHING, I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW ROOMMATES
Jyn: noooooooo
Jyn: I don’t wanna be with them, Padmé follows rules too much
Jyn: She’s a bad influence!
Quinlan: This feels like an excellent time to leave, Fennec.
Fennec: Taking off now. Everybody brace yourselves!
Din: With what? The person sitting on me?
Maul removed Mace, Depa, Yoda
Maul: well that was eventful
Evaan: i can’t breathe
Fennec: OKAY I’M LEAVING SEATING ARRANGEMENTS UP TO YOU GUYS, DONT MAKE ME REGRET IT
Cara: i want to stand on anakin
Anakin: i’m going to murder fennec for exposing me
Fennec: I already regret this.
Fennec: Cara, go stand on Anakin so he can’t murder me.
Cara: 👍
Ezra: hey guys
Obi-Wan: Yes?
Ezra: do we have time to make a quick pit stop?
Fennec: …for what.
Ezra: i may need a quick bathroom break
Fennec:
Fennec: Absolutely Not.
Rose: Ezra you had HOURS
Ezra: WELL I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THEN
Din: No way. We’re not stopping. Padmé and Ahsoka will kill us if we get home late.
Ezra: THIS CAN’T WAIT
Rey: not to interrupt but how long will we be flying?
Rey: i’ve already lost all circulation in my legs
Cassian: Same. Because SOMEBODY is sitting in my lap.
Asajj: 👀
Han: 👀
Jyn:
Jyn: how could you
Cassian: …
Cassian: I hate everyone on this ship.
Din: Hey, what did I do???
Cassian: Not you, you’re alright.
Cassian: *I hate most of the people on this ship.
Jyn: what about me???
Cassian: I guess you’ll just have to wonder.
Jyn:
Jyn: well i hate you
Cara: ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo
Ezra: 👀
Jyn: *all of you
Jyn: Even you, Din, Even you.
Din:
Din: i feel unnecessarily targeted
Ezra: Fennec, can we PLEASE pull over for a bathroom break?
Fennec:
Fennec: fine, but only so i can buy some earplugs and block out your ridiculousness
Fennec: HEY CAN SOMEONE SEARCH FOR FREE BATHROOMS NEARBY
Anakin: ONCE EVERYONE STOPS STANDING ON ME
Cara: NO
Cara: but i will look up restrooms, yes
Fennec: thank
Cara: welcome
Poe: i don’t feel safe with her flying the ship
Quinlan: Hey, at least it’s not the bus.
Chapter 49: The Ladies’ Greatest Secret (and some other stuff)
Notes:
I’m sorry ahead of time… I’m telling everyone the darkest secret known to womankind… I had to do it 😭
Chapter Text
Fennec: OKAY GUYS RESTROOM BREAK IS OVER
Echo: but ezra’s still in there-
Fennec: I don’t care, there is one person I will not mess with and that is Padmé Amidala.
Fennec: She’s terrifying when she’s angry.
Anakin: oh yeah
Anakin: you do NOT mess with her
Echo: okay, but unless you’re planning on breaking into the bathrooms and dragging ezra out, there’s nothing you can do
Fennec:
Fennec: Excellent idea.
Quinlan: FENNEC NO
Quinlan: YOU CANNOT JUST WALK INTO THE GUYS BATHROOM AND DRAG EZRA OUT
Fennec: WHY NOT?
Quinlan: uh…
Quinlan: Well for one thing, you’re not a guy
Din: …i think what he meant to say is that dragging people out of the bathroom is a horrible idea.
Fennec: wait why do i have to be a guy to go to into the restroom?
Jyn: It’s no use, Fennec. It’s too late.
Jyn: They know now.
Quinlan: know what?
Jyn: ladies have to use the restroom too
Asajj: JYN NO
Asajj: YOU TOLD THEM OUR MOST PRECIOUS SECRET
Zorii: Jyn, how could you do this?
Cara: You let us all down.
Maul: …we weren’t supposed to know?
Cara: WHO TOLD HIM
Asajj: IT WASN’T ME I SWEAR
Fennec: guys why can’t i go into the bathroom
Quinlan: It’s a guys bathroom!
Fennec: It’s a bathroom???
Anakin:
Anakin: fennec.
Anakin: did you not know there were guys and girls bathrooms?
Fennec:
Fennec: there’s w h a t
Anakin: fennec have you just been using all the bathrooms your whole life
Fennec: they’re bathrooms i thought the only rule was no peeing on the seats 😭
Cassian: I mean she has a point-
Rey: now seems like a terrible time to admit that i have also been using all the refreshers at the resistance base with absolutely no regards for the little picture signs outside
Poe: oh no we don’t have guys and girls bathrooms, we barely have enough bathrooms for everyone to begin with
Rey: okay good
Rey: i’ll remember that for later
Jyn: If we ever get back.
Maul: Jyn?
Jyn: Yes?
Maul: Shut it.
Fennec: Ezra has five seconds and then I’m going in there regardless of your feeble attempts at barring me
Din: No chanting-
Cara: FIVE
Anakin: FOUR
Asajj: THREE
Ezra: hey guys, what did i miss?
Fennec:
Asajj: do it anyway
Fennec: Excellent idea
Ezra: wait seriously what happ- FENNEC STOP DRAGGING ME WHAT IS GOING ON
Anakin: Bathroom break is over.
Ezra: yeah i got that part, thanks
Fennec: EVERYONE BACK IN THE SHIP
Fennec: AND FIND SEATING ARRANGEMENTS THAT DON’T INCLUDE MURDER OR PADMÉ WILL KILL ME
Anakin: NOBODY STAND ON ME
Anakin: P L E A S E
Cara: hmmmm no thanks
Cara: everyone move, i’m standing on anakin if it’s the last thing i do.
Anakin: IT WILL BE
Han: who looks least likely to be related to me
Cara: probably me
Cara: come help me stand on anakin
Han:
Han: no thanks
Fennec: just pick someone who doesn’t look related to you, it’s not that hard
Han: …
Armitage: fingers crossed?
Poe: shhh
Poe: he’s choosing a seat
Poe: and i want to see what goes down
Han: …
Din: Why is everyone watching?
Din: half of you guys don’t even know what the right choice is
Din: …is there even a right choice?
Rey: well there’s a wrong choice
Poe: sjkdkjhkhj stop smiling you’re giving it away
Rey: what if i’m just happy to not have someone sitting on me
Zorii: I CAN FIX THAT
Rey:
Jannah: zorii please stop laying on me
Zorii: pillow.
Rey: no pillow.
Zorii: stop smiling then
Fennec: EVERYONE SHUT UP HE’S MAKING A CHOICE
Han: STOP STARING THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER
Cara: vErY sErIoUs MaTtEr
Han:
Han: OKAY FINE I’M SITTING DOWN JUST SO ALL OF YOU SHUT UP
Ben:
Poe: you’d think after everything that’s happened with our group he wouldn’t sit with us
Rey: ….there are no words
Zorii: I CAN THINK OF A FEW
Ben: nobody is allowed to say anything .
Fennec: Apparently this will be a fun ride home
Anakin: CARA STOP TRYING TO STAND ON ME
Armitage: ANAKIN COME SIT OVER HERE WITH ALL OF US AND HAN
Ben: no
Armitage: JUST IGNORE HIM
Jyn: are we all going to sit on the floor because i don’t think there’s enough room for that
Hunter: …and you think sitting in the six available chairs is a better idea?
Chapter 50: Padmé has entered the chat
Chapter Text
Din: GUYS PADMÉ IS TEXTING ME
Din: SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THE KRIFF WE ARE
Fennec: ADD HER TO THE GROUP CHAT OR SOMETHING
Din added Padmé
Padmé: WHERE ARE YOU
Padmé: I’M NOT BAILING YOU IDIOTS OUT OF JAIL
Quinlan: Don’t worry, we’re not in jail!
Asajj: Yet.
Din: AND WE DON’T PLAN TO BE, SO NO ONE GET ANY IDEAS
Jyn: awwww
Zorii: awww
Maul: Din, you’re no fun
Din: I’M TRYING TO KEEP US FROM GETTING ARRESTED
Cara: BUT WHY?
Din:
Din: Padmé, tell them
Padmé: NO ONE IS GETTING ARRESTED ON MY WATCH
Padmé: OR DIN’S
Padmé: SO WHERE ARE YOU
Poe: Ask the navigator
Fennec: i have no idea ask someone responsible
Poe: DIN WHERE ARE WE
Din: SOMEWHERE VERY HIGH UP IN THE AIR
Poe: OKAY BUT WHERE
Din: I DON’T KNOW
Cara: I’VE GOT A MAP
Evaan: THAT’S A MAP OF THE DUOLINGO BUILDING
Evaan: hey wait where did you even get that?
Cara: great question
Cara: FENNEC USE THIS ONE
Fennec: I’M JUST FLYING THE OPPOSITE OF THE WAY WE CAME AND THAT’S GOING TO HAVE TO BE ENOUGH
Padmé: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT I’M USING FIND MY LOCATION
Anakin: YOU’RE WHAT
Padmé: I CAN TRACK ALL OF YOUR PHONES
Cara: THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE
Padmé: SO IS OVER HALF OF WHATEVER YOU GET UP TO
Padmé: and no, tracking your guys’ phones is quite possible
Din: I’d like to know how you managed to do this.
Padmé: the government put us all under the same phone plan. any of us can track everyone else using this find my phone thing as long as they all have phones.
Din: I’ll keep that one in mind…
Padmé: Alright, now that I know you guys aren’t somewhere in the next ocean over, want to hear a weird story from work?
Han: Can’t get much weirder than our Duolingo story…
Rey:
Rey: i am very uncomfortable with the energy we’ve created in this corner of the ship today
Padmé: i don’t want to know
Jyn: you don’t, but i do
Armitage: Jyn no
Jyn: Jyn yes
Cassian: Jyn…
Jyn: fine
Fennec: Why is this conversation between Cassian and Jyn a daily occurrence?
Cassian: she listens to pretty much no one else, and only me whenever she feels like it
Jyn: ༼ง◕_◕ ༽ง
Obi-Wan: I really don’t want to be a part of this conversation, but did you just…combine two of those lenny things everyone is addicted to…to make another one…?
Maul: you…want to fight someone…and hug them…at the same time?
Ben: mood
Cara: That pretty much seems to sum up Jyn and Cassian
Maul: Padmé are you ever gonna tell us what happened at work, or are you gonna let everyone talk over you?
Padmé: good point
Padmé: EVERYONE SHUT UP OR I’M COMING AFTER YOU WITH MY FINGER GUNS (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
Cara: NO NOT THE FINGER GUNS
Padmé: QUIET
Asajj: anakin can i steal your girlfriend?
Quinlan: i’m right here…
Asajj: oh, i know. and so is padmé. and only one of you has finger guns.
Jannah: shots fired
Padmé: not yet.
Din: Alright, I can now confirm that pretty much everyone is listening, which is honestly better than usual.
Din: Keep it quick, you only have a minute.
Ezra: Wait, why does she only have a minute?
Padmé: none of you have attention spans longer than sixty seconds.
Ezra:
Padmé: Anyways, today I was at work.
Padmé: And a random guy I’ve only talked to a few times comes up to me, looking at me with a weird expression.
Din: ANAKIN, PUT THE LIGHTSABER AWAY
Anakin: NO
Din: JUST UNTIL THE END OF THE STORY
Fennec: somebody just steal it
Zorii: I’VE GOT IT
Armitage: that…was the most enthusiastic i’ve ever seen her
Evaan: You obviously missed the dino nuggets episode, then.
Armitage: *second most enthusiastic
Anakin: nO IT’S MY LIGHTSABER
Zorii: MINE NOW
Rey: zorii come back
Zorii: NO, I MUST LORD MY SUPERIORITY OVER ANAKIN
Rey: please? i need you to be a human blanket again 🥺
Zorii: …
Zorii: give me five seconds to celebrate
Rey: Of course
Padmé: Do… do I want to ask?
Ezra: At least thirteen people are using Rey as a pillow right now.
Rey: ┬┴┬┴┤(・_├┬┴┬┴ you want hugs?
Poe: unofficial pillow friend
Padmé: anakin, obi-wan, why don’t we ever do things like this?
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: jedi code?
Rey: i feel like we left jedi code behind a long time ago
Maul: we also have left behind padmé’s story and I WANT TO HEAR THE ENDING SO EVERYONE SHUT IT
Padmé: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Padmé: The guy comes up to me, still looking at me oddly.
Padmé: Then he tells me I look a lot like this Earth lady.
Ezra: Earth lady?
Padmé: Yeah, her name is Natalie something-or-other
Luke: DO YOU HAVE A SECRET TWIN SIBLING TOO
Padmé: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
Leia: a lot of things
Leia: don’t kiss her just in case
Padmé: W H A T
Ben: yeah… just finish th story. you don’t want to know.
Padmé: That was pretty much the end of the story
Padmé: I was very confused and he walked off.
Padmé: Now I’m home alone at the compounds with only the red glow of the few security cameras we haven’t demolished yet to keep me company.
Obi-Wan: …how long have you been home alone?
Padmé: Too long.
Fennec: Don’t worry Padmé, we’re on our way.
Padmé: I can see that. I’ve been obsessively following your phone trackers.
Fennec:
Padmé: please get home soon, i’m so bored
Chapter 51: Jyn Tries DIY, Human Pillows, Breaking the Jedi Code as a Hobby, and more!
Chapter Text
Anakin: WE HAVE ARRIVED
Padmé: FINALLY
Padmé: AHSOKA IS SO LATE I’VE BEEN SO LONELY
Quinlan: EVERYONE LOOK AWAY
Cara: Why?
Quinlan: We’re about to experience some very affectionate PDA in 5…
Asajj: 4…
Fennec: 3…
Wrecker: 2…
Evaan: EVERYONE LOOK AWAY
Asajj: my what an interesting ceiling
Cassian: Is that… blood?
Asajj: my what an interesting ceiling
Cassian: i.. i’m gonna look at the floor now
Din: hi
Cassian: hello
Zorii: YOU GUYS DONE YET
Anakin: YEP
Zorii: GOOD OR I WAS GONNA STEAL YOUR LIGHTSABER AGAIN
Anakin: YOU WOULDN’T DARE
Jyn: She would. She definitely would.
Jyn: I would too.
Padmé: So Anakin actually has a job now?
Fennec: Hard to believe, I know.
Fennec: But it’s true, we finally found someone idiotic enough to hire him.
Hunter: that’s the jedi council you’re talking about-
Fennec: Yep. Never really cared about them. Still don’t!
Asajj: That’s a nice attitude, have you ever considered joining the dark side?
Fennec: nah cause then i’d lose seeing grogu privileges
Fennec: we’re not allowed to turn din’s son to the dark side
Asajj: ah well we can come up with something that finds a loophole
Fennec: maybe. i don’t do space wizard politics.
Asajj: yeah neither do i
Jyn: oh look, they’re cuddling again
Din: Who, Fennec and Asa- oh it’s anakin and padmé
Din: i’ve now seen things no mortal should ever see
Din: not that i hadn’t before, but you know how those two are
Obi-Wan: HEY ARE YOU GUYS DONE
Obi-Wan: I CAN ONLY WATCH PEOPLE BREAK THE JEDI CODE FOR SO LONG
Anakin: COME ON WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE RANDOM ONLINE DATING APP HOOKUPS YOU HAD
Obi-Wan: WELL THOSE WEREN’T RELATIONSHIPS WERE THEY
Anakin: …
Padmé: Yeah, we’re done.
Fennec: great, everybody out!
Evaan: ANAKIN’S GONNA TERRORIZE PEOPLE IN A BIRD SUIT
Padmé: he’s going to what
Anakin: It’ll be fun!
Jyn: I’m allowed to help!
Anakin: occasionally
Maul: So what are we doing now?
Fennec: Finding a new bus.
Cara: I want food.
Han: i’m locking myself in my room far away from all of you idiots.
Rey: from the looks everyone is giving me, i’m going to continue being the human pillow
Rey: no complaints here
Poe: I say we watch a bad romance holo and use Rey as a pillow
Jannah: All in favor!
Quinlan: It’s “All in favor say aye”
Jannah: no. all in favor. the decision has been made.
Din: Great, that’s a lot less people I have to worry about exploding things for the next three hours.
Din: As for the rest of you…
Jyn: No promises.
Jyn: Actually you’ve given me an excellent idea. Let’s see if the fuel in this ship is explosive.
Cassian: Jyn, it’s fuel.
Jyn: Exactly.
Padmé: …How about we wait for Ahsoka to get home before we do that?
Jyn: Okay, I’ll ask her if she wants to join us in blowing things up!
Fennec: Ask her if she would rather help us search for a new bus to modify instead
Jyn: Sure
Padmé: That’s not-
Padmé: You know what, fine. As long as Ahsoka is monitoring one of you.
Jyn: She said she wants to help with explosives
Padmé: Great. Wonderful. Spectacular. Have fun with that.
Jyn: Oh we will.
Luke:
Luke: i’m scared
Cassian: That’s Jyn for you.
Jyn: You wanna help blow things up?
Cassian: When have I not?
Jyn: …there has to be at least one time, but i can’t think of it
Cassian: usually i’m the one blowing up things you don’t want me blowing up
Din: That is not where I thought this conversation would go-
Din: and great, now i have to keep my eye on BOTH of them
Cara: JYN PUT THE TOASTER BACK
Cara: I NEED IT TO MAKE FLATCAKES
Din: CARA THAT’S NOT WHAT A TOASTER IS FOR
Cara: THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT
Din: MAKE TOAST
Jyn: Or you can help us blow it up!
Padmé: Jyn, wait until Ahsoka gets home!!!
Jyn: ugh fine. but only if i don’t have to room with you and anakin tonight.
Padmé: i…what?
Padmé: You weren’t rooming with us anyway.
Poe:
Poe: wonder why
Ben: please stop talking
Ben: i’m related to these people
Ben: all of this is somewhat scarring
Poe: not as scarring as getting murderered by your own child on a death planet
Jannah: murderered?
Kaydel: murderered.
Ben: poe, you’re skating on some very thin ice
Poe: Hey, I’m just saying…
Rey: POE GET OVER HERE OR WE’RE STARTING THE HOLO WITHOUT YOU
Poe: ALRIGHT ALRIGHT I’M COMING-
Ben: thanks
Rey: yeah of course. now both of you get over here or we’re actually starting without you.
Zorii: JYN IF YOU’RE GOING TO STEAL THE TOASTER COULD YOU AT LEAST NOT RUN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN WHILE WE’RE TRYING TO WATCH A MOVIE
Jyn: BUT ZORII, EXPLOSIONS
Padmé: Just wait until Ahsoka gets home, and no setting off the smoke alarm. That’s all I ask.
Jyn: every machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough
Din: for the love of mandalore jyn
Din: why
Jyn: WHO WANTS TO SEE MY DIY SMOKE MACHINE
Cara: ME
Cara: BUT ONLY IF YOU LET ME USE IT TO MAKE FLATCAKES
Ahsoka: WHAT’S UP IDIOTS I’M HOME FROM WORK
Padmé: oh perfect timing
Padmé: you’re on ‘making sure jyn doesn’t accidentally or purposefully kill everyone’ duty. she’s blowing up a toaster. good luck with that.
Ahsoka: and i thought anakin getting a job was the craziest thing i’d hear today
Anakin: i… i am very offended by this…
Ahsoka: yeah, you’re right. you getting hired without having to mind trick or bribe someone is still more shocking.
Chapter 52: Blood Has Been Spilled (and will continue to be spilled, if Jyn has her way)
Notes:
Extended version of the bonus chapter from a few chapters back! Because of course my brain is going to make this into an insane story arc… keep an eye out for a requested character as well!
I’m watching the LEGO summer vacation special now as well— there may be some potential chapters written based off of it, depending on how many cracky ideas it spawns :)
Chapter Text
Jyn: Who stole the sanitary products???
Anakin: The what???
Jyn: In the girls’ compound bathrooms
Jyn: You know, the sanitary products
Leia: The feminine hygiene products?
Rey: the what
Zorii: can we please just say pads
Rey: apparently not
Ezra: Where where they last seen?
Fennec: Girls’ compound bathroom, on the shelf
Anakin:
Anakin: would you happen to be speaking of a green cardboard box?
Fennec: Yes…
Anakin: i might happen to know where they are
Jyn: Anakin, what did you do with them?
Anakin: i might be using them to clean up my failed attempt at making fuel for the bus
Jyn: …
Jyn: get the knives
Fennec: The throwing knives or the kitchen knives?
Jyn: any knives
Jyn: stab anakin for me
Fennec: Blood will be spilled
Rey: There’s…another box in the other bathroom…
Anakin: The purple cardboard box?
Rey:
Anakin: Yeah I’m using that one too.
Asajj: p e r i s h
Obi-Wan: For force’s sakes Anakin, what did you do now?
Cara: P E R I S H
Din: what happened i just woke up and there’s around twenty people stampeding by my room-
Leia: That seems pretty normal for you.
Din: It is, I’d just like to know what it’s about this time.
Jyn: i started my day in a pool of blood and that’s how i’m going to end anakin’s
Rey: Isn’t there a box in the guys’ compound bathroom?
Maul: if you’re talking about the yellow box, it may or may not have caught on fire
Zorii: i’m sorry, it what
Ben: he set it on fire
Ben: we’re not sure why
Obi-Wan: IS THAT WHAT WAS BURNING
Maul: YEAH
Obi-Wan: WE HAD TO DISMANTLE THE FIRE ALARMS SO NO ONE CAME TO ARREST US
Anakin: I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMMABLE
Anakin: PLUS THE HEATING SYSTEM BROKE
Leia: THERE ARE EASIER WAYS TO KEEP WARM
Din: hold up
Din: is leia a part of the stampede going after anakin
Fennec: Yep
Din: oh
Din: im not even going to try to break it up then
Din: jyn and fennec and cara and asajj AND leia… not worth the pain or time
Ezra: That’s fair
Anakin: HELP THEY’RE ALL TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR
Anakin: AND THEY HAVE KNIVES
Anakin: H E L P M E
Armitage: No, I don’t think I will.
Armitage: Who knows how to hide a body?
Ben: unfortunately me
Hunter: I’ll get the Bad Batch on it
Hunter: Kid, you and Echo go scout out a suitable burial spot.
Poe: ahh, the sweet, sweet sound of utter chaos and bloodthirsty threats
Padmé: I knew it was too quiet around here to last longer than twenty minutes
Din: I mean… at least they waited until a day after we got back from Duolingo land
Padmé: True, true.
Padmé: Now if you don’t mind, I have to go murder Anakin.
Asajj: THE QUEEN MOTHER HAS JOINED US
Asajj: YOU CAN’T RUN ANAKIN
Quinlan: You know it’s bad when Padmé is joining the fight.
Quinlan: Anakin, you really blew this one.
Evaan: Anakin, they’re mobilizing-
Fennec: DON’T GIVE AWAY OUR BATTLE PLAN
Anakin: WHAT’S GOING ON OUT THERE
Ahsoka: Yeah guys of course you can borrow Morai, no problem!
Anakin:
Anakin: forget i asked
Jyn: We’re going to war!
Cara: Yes we are. Prepare yourself Anakin.
Padmé: One request again, no killing please.
Leia: that would definitely destroy the space-time continuity
Leia: i don’t even know what that is, it just sounds like it would
Jannah: This doesn’t seem like it’s gonna end safely.
Maul: I do not require the use of these feminine hygiene products you speak of, but I do feel somewhat guilty for letting Anakin burn the one box, so…anyone need a double-bladed lightsaber?
Jyn: DO WE EVER
Fennec: Is that even a question??? Of course we need a double bladed lightsaber.
Fennec: And pretty much any other lightsabers we can get our hands on.
Cassian: Anakin you really messed up.
Cassian: There is literally no way you could do worse than this.
Echo: Maybe if he stole Evaan’s oranges. She seems pretty attached to them.
Evaan: HEY I COULD STOP AT ANY TIME
Asajj: Could you really though?
Evaan: i mean…
Evaan: okay you’re right, no i couldn’t
Han: …i mean…if i give all the lightsabers to the girls…then my son can’t stab me
Poe: han logic makes no sense and yet it still makes sense, i love it
Poe: What if Maul’s your son?
Han:
Maul:
Han: yeah i don’t think so
Anakin: DIN I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE RESPONSIBLE ONE
Anakin: YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LETTING THEM MURDER ME
Din: anakin.
Din: you somehow managed to destroy every last sanitary product in not just one, but both compounds.
Din: not only is that the stupidest thing i have ever seen, which is saying a lot coming from me, but there is literally no hope for your survival.
Rey: guys can we please just call them pads
Jyn: Come on Rey, we’re professional!
Jyn: and very angry
Maul: You call this professional?
Maul: …I like it.
Chapter 53: Volunteered? More like Voluntold…
Notes:
can i just say that i spent way too long researching supermarkets in southern nevada while writing this chapter
Chapter Text
Anakin: really, is no one gonna help me?
Finn: a wise man once said, ‘don’t join’
Finn: actually no, he was kind of an idiot, and he did end up turning us over to the first order. but he did say ‘don’t join’.
Anakin: That’s not helpful.
Finn: No it is not.
Anakin: Anyone have anything helpful?
Obi-Wan: We’re not getting involved with…that.
Ben: Have they broken down the door yet?
Anakin: No.
Ben: there’s your answer
Maul: We’ve just dented it a lot.
Evaan: I’d be surprised it’s held this long, but it’s Anakin
Anakin: i am holding this door together with the force and also sheer terror
Fennec: I’M GOING TO BREAK THIS DOOR DOWN WITH FORCE AND ALSO SHEER ANGER
Anakin: WILL NOBODY HELP ME???
Din: Anakin, we’ve been over this.
Din: No one wants to mess with that many weapons just for you.
Din: plus they have padmé AND ahsoka’s bird
Tech: All of the neutral parties do seem to have turned against you, General Skywalker.
Anakin: WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS???? BAD BATCH??? A LITTLE HELP???
Wrecker: lol no
Echo: That doesn’t seem like a good idea
Hunter: My self preservation instinct kicked in a looong time ago
Anakin: IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET YOU ALL TO STOP TRYING TO KILL ME???
Fennec: PROBABLY NOT
Padmé: At this point, I doubt it
Rey: i mean
Asajj: NO
Rey: ok but
Jyn: REY DON’T DO IT
Jyn: NO MERCY
Rey: yes but wouldn’t it be easier to get more pads and then kill anakin?
Cara: I don’t need logic, I need bloodshed!
Cara: If I wanted logic we’d be using Din to break down the door.
Jyn: Hey wait a minute
Din: oh no
Din: it’s never good when they all turn to face you at once
Din: bye guys
Cara: OH NO YOU DON’T
Zorii: Off the record, because I never want to go on record as the sensible one, Rey’s idea could work.
Zorii: especially because jyn is basically bleeding everywhere
Jyn: BUT I WANNA MURDER ANAKIN
Rey: I’M NOT SAYING YOU CAN’T MURDER ANAKIN, I’M SAYING WE SHOULD GO BUY MORE PADS FIRST
Kaydel: you mean sanitary products
Rey: oh kaydel i forgot you were here
Rey: no, i do not mean sanitary products
Kaydel:
Kaydel: i’m not even sure which sentence to react to first
Jyn: Okay fine, let’s get more pads, and then we kill Anakin.
Padmé: That works!
Maul: I say we send Anakin to get them as a punishment.
Padmé: That works!
Anakin:
Anakin: You’re supposed to be on my side.
Padmé: there’s literally no saving face this time, anakin. just go with it.
Fennec: WHO’S READY FOR A FIELD TRIP
Fennec: TIME TO BREAK IN THE NEW BUS
Din: Fennec that is not how buses work—
Maul: I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA
Anakin: Oh no
Jyn: oh yes
Maul: WE VOTE ON WHO’S GOING WITH ANAKIN
Ben: oh no
Ben: din was right. it’s never good when everyone turns to look at you at the same time.
Din: Good luck
Poe: I know exactly where this is going and I love it.
Rose: okay so who’s voting for him and who’s voting for han
Ben: I’m pretty sure Han’s sleeping
Zorii: Well that’s too bad for him, isn’t it?
Jannah: future people unite
Din: …I call not going.
Cara: So who here is willing to vote for Din?
Din: This is supposed to be my day off!
Padmé: It is, yeah. I’m on chaperoning duty.
Fennec: Great, you get shotgun.
Ahsoka: I volunteer Ezra!
Ezra: i volunteer not to go
Fennec: Great, you’re on regulating Anakin duty.
Ezra: Aww, at least have Padmé do that!
Fennec: Too late, she’s on navigating duty
Leia: I volunteer Luke
Han: I volunteer Luke to go in my place!
Luke: Wait, why do I have to go?
Padmé: You’re one of the least likely to blow something up if we go to the supermarket.
Padmé: So where are we going to get these pads anyway?
Fennec: …uh
Fennec: Rey, it was your plan.
Rey: What???
Fennec: Wanna come with?
Rey: Not really
Fennec: Okay, well find us a supermarket to buy pads from
Rey: …okay…
Ezra: Let’s see, who else can we make miserable by dragging into this trip?
Quinlan: OBI-WAN I VOLUNTEER OBI-WAN
Obi-Wan: OH YEAH? WELL I VOLUNTEER QUINLAN!
Asajj: Gets both of them outta my hair 🤷
Obi-Wan: what hair? 😏
Poe: first of all, that is NOT how that emoji should be used-
Asajj: HEY I’VE BEEN GROWING IT OUT OKAY
Fennec: ALRIGHT IN THE BUS BOTH OF YOU
Fennec: Rey, any results?
Rey: uhhh… there’s this thing called ‘safeway’ nearby… but it sounds more like the name of a military bunker…
Padmé: …do they have pads?
Rey: Yep.
Padmé: To Safeway!
Fennec: So far I have… Padmé, Ezra, Han, Quinlan, Ben, Obi-Wan, Luke… and that’s about it
Fennec: Oh and Anakin
Maul: I volunteer myself.
Ahsoka: you don’t have to feel guilty about the fire thing, there’s no stopping anakin when he wants to burn something
Maul: Oh no I just want to see this go down.
Ahsoka: Fair.
Ben: …None of you are going to come with me?
Jannah: Lol nope
Armitage: I’m gonna go wake up Han and tell him he’s been volunteered to go to Safeway.
Rey: i would but i need to make sure jyn doesn’t murder anyone else
Rey: padmé hired me as her and din’s replacement
Zorii: Rey stop feeling emotions.
Zorii: We want them to suffer.
Rey:
Ben:
Zorii: Hi.
Ben: Hello.
Zorii: Have fun at Safeway.
Ben: I really don’t like you.
Zorii: Aw come on, we know that’s a lie!
Kaydel: Who wants to learn how to make my special chicken nuggies while everyone’s out?
Jyn: DO I EVER
Rey: …duty calls
Zorii: OH BOY CRACK NUGGIES
Padmé: …
Padmé: Yeah let’s get out of here
Fennec: EVERYONE IN THE BUS
Cara: Hey should I invite Melinda? We kind of ditched her after the double date failed.
Fennec: Please invite Melinda. We need someone to show us the ways of the Safeway.
Quinlan: ONWARDS, TO SAFEWAY!!!!
Cara: none of them know what they’re doing, do they?
Jyn: Help me, Padmé Amidala. You’re my only hope.
Padmé: That’s nice and all but I expect texts every ten minutes just so I know you aren’t dead, dying, or committing a felony.
Chapter 54: Everyone is severely lacking brain cells, what else is new?
Notes:
fun game: take a drink of water every time i make a joke about horrible menstruation education
believe me, by the time these next few chapters are through you’ll be plenty hydrated.
Chapter Text
Padmé: guys we have a problem
Padmé: Jyn stopped sending her 10 minute check in texts
Fennec: Well that’s a problem Din’s just gonna have to deal with.
Padmé: …great.
Quinlan: Hey how far away is this Safeway thing anyway?
Fennec: Great question
Fennec: There’s definitely an answer, but you’re not getting it from me
Quinlan: Why is she the one always driving us if she never has any idea where she’s going?
Fennec: Hey, I’m more qualified than all of you put together!
Fennec: if you don’t count padmé
Ben: guys rey just texted
Padmé: oh no
Padmé: who died
Ben: she says cara demands we buy tampons as well as pads
Fennec: Great, add those to the list!
Han: What list?
Fennec: …you’re on list duty
Han: I don’t want to be on list duty!
Fennec: well that’s too bad, isn’t it?
Quinlan: Hey, when’s Melinda joining us?
Fennec: Well she hasn’t texted back yet, so I’m assuming she’s busy preventing the end of the world or something
Quinlan: Ohhh, so that’s why Jyn stopped sending her 10 minute check in texts!
Padmé: oh please no
Maul: Awww, I’m gonna miss the latest Jyn Erso Destructive Episode
Quinlan: Well you volunteered for this.
Quinlan: I don’t know why, but you did.
Obi-Wan: i can’t believe we’re trusting fennec to help us get sanitary products
Obi-Wan: couldn’t we have gotten someone responsible to come along???
Ezra: You mean Padmé?
Obi-Wan: she’s busy trying to stop jyn from earning us a government visit
Ezra: True, true
Ezra: Quinlan?
Quinlan: Bold of you to assume I have ever been or will ever be responsible.
Ezra: You?
Obi-Wan: …someone responsible who actually knows what sanitary products are
Luke: aaaaaand we’re back to padmé
Luke: …this trip is doomed.
Ben: Why do you think everyone volunteered each other for it?
Maul: Anakin, you’re dating Padmé.
Fennec: feels like we’ve been over this already
Anakin: leave me alone
Maul: No.
Maul: You’re dating Padmé. Padmé is smart and responsible and knows how sanitary products work.
Maul: Some of that had to rub off on you, right?
Ben: definitely not the smart or the responsible
Quinlan: You’re asking Anakin if he knows anything about sanitary products.
Quinlan: Anakin. Who once asked if you were supposed to put the sticky part of pads on your skin.
Maul: you WHAT
Luke: wait
Luke: that’s not how it works?
Maul: oh for force’s sakes
Ben: come to the dark side, we have good health education
Anakin: HEY IT WAS ONE TIME OKAY
Quinlan: YOU THOUGHT AHSOKA’S TAMPONS WERE WEAPONS
Anakin: THEY WERE SHAPED LIKE BULLETS
Maul: come to the dark side, we have better health education than whatever anakin’s got
Obi-Wan: Fine, then you tell us what to do when we get to Safeway!
Maul: NO
Maul: I VOLUNTEERED FOR THIS TRIP BUT I’M NOT PARTICIPATING IN IT
Obi-Wan: You’re sure you learned nothing from Padmé?
Anakin: nope
Anakin: and i wouldn’t help you if i did, since you’ve all threatened to murder me
Han: Technically that was the girls
Han: and maul
Maul: In my defense, I was bored.
Anakin: YOU GAVE THEM THE DOUBLE-BLADED LIGHTSABER
Maul: I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD TRY TO USE IT
Maul: okay that’s a lie, i did
Maul: I’m a Sith, it’s my job!
Obi-Wan: Does anyone else here have experience with people who use sanitary products?
Maul: well i’ve killed quite a few
Obi-Wan: Non-fatal experience?
Han: I think you’re asking for too much.
Obi-Wan: ok who has a girlfriend
Fennec: Me!
Obi-Wan: we’re not that desperate yet
Luke: I have a sister?
Obi-Wan: That’s helpful!
Luke: but we just met
Obi-Wan: …or not
Ben: Hey Padmé, Rey says Jyn stopped sending her texts because Morai stole her phone
Ben: And they’re all afraid to mess with Ahsoka and her bird
Obi-Wan: …
Maul: …
Han: …
Ben: why is everyone looking at me again
Padmé: Tell Rey that she’s now in charge of sending texts every 10 minutes!
Ben: Sure
Ben: …what are the rest of you plotting?
Ezra: tell us what you know
Ben: what
Obi-Wan: You have a girlfriend and dark-side-level health education. Tell us what you know.
Ben: …this was a mistake
Fennec: What was?
Ben: everything
Fennec: I have no idea what just happened
Fennec: i’m not reading through all of those texts you guys sent before you all went quiet
Luke: Please don’t, we kind of need you to drive this thing
Ezra: Kind of
Fennec: Yeah, only kind of
Padmé: TURN TURN TURN TURN
Fennec: LEFT OR RIGHT
Padmé: THERE’S ONLY A LEFT TURN HERE
Fennec: well with that attitude, there is
Quinlan: Fennec, please, for the safety of everyone involved, just take the turn that doesn’t involve us flying off the road and into a cactus
Fennec: Fine, but for the record you guys are boring
Fennec: Anyways…
Fennec: Welcome to Safeway, idiots
Chapter 55: The Rise of Safeway (and Melinda!)
Notes:
So it looks like my life schedule is going to get a lot busier, potentially until the new year, but my update schedule is likely going to remain at roughly one chapter per week (or at least try to).
I also have a few WIPs for Andor and the Mandalorian that could throw things off, but again, this fic will probably still keep up with weekly updates.
May the force be with you!
Chapter Text
Fennec: Oh hey, Melinda texted back!
Ezra: That might be the first productive thing that’s happened so far.
Fennec: Hey, we got here, didn’t we?
Maul: Barely.
Fennec: What do you mean “barely”?
Maul: You tried to create a turn that would’ve destroyed the second bus even faster than the first.
Fennec: …I beg to differ.
Maul: then beg
Obi-Wan: HEY WE’RE LEAVING YOU TWO BEHIND IF YOU DON’T KEEP UP
Obi-Wan: ben ask your girlfriend where to go
Ben: she can read maps about as well as fennec can
Fennec: Fennec happens to be your ride home, so you’d better stop insulting her or she’s leaving you here.
Anakin: Can we just go back to the compounds?
Quinlan: Sure, if you wanna die.
Quinlan: I’m not stopping you.
Obi-Wan: WHO HERE CAN READ A MAP
Luke: Me!
Obi-Wan: Great, you’re reading the map.
Ben: …
Maul: I just know that if all your other future friends were hear you’d be making somewhat terrifying comments that none of the rest of us understand.
Ben: Well you’re not wrong.
Han: And you’d all be laughing at me.
Ezra: No, that’s something all of us do.
Han:
Ben: …well you’re not wrong
Padmé: Hey guys I don’t think Din and the others are okay
Quinlan: You’re surprised… why?
Padmé: Oh no I’m not, I just think we need to speed things up.
Fennec: Melinda says she’s pulling up right now!
Padmé: Oh good, someone who knows their way around this store.
Padmé: Let’s hope she has more brain cells than the rest of you.
Maul: Padmé that’s basically everyone else on this planet.
Obi-Wan: I have brain cells, I just don’t feel like being glued to a wall like Din was.
Fennec added Melinda
Fennec: hey
Melinda: hey
Ezra: …
Ezra: So who’s gonna say it?
Quinlan: Can I say it?
Han: I wanna say it!
Luke: Say what?
Ezra: Okay that’s it, I’m saying it.
Ben: Are you guys… twins?
Ezra: I WANTED TO SAY IT
Ben: Sorry! They just look…identical.
Maul: Yep.
Luke: Ohhhhh, well I guess they do. If you squint.
Melinda: These are your friends?
Fennec: …
Fennec: Friends is such a strong word, isn’t it?
Fennec: some of them. not the one with the beard, he’s too much of a rule-follower.
Obi-Wan: Hey!
Obi-Wan: It’s not my fault you’re a criminal.
Fennec: i mean it kind of is but we’ll leave my tragic backstory for another day
Melinda: You’re all here for… what?
Padmé: Feminine hygiene products.
Quinlan: Pads and tampons and stuff.
Ben: and probably chocolate for jyn so she doesn’t kill anakin
Quinlan: Hate to break it to you but I don’t think chocolate will be enough.
Obi-Wan: Silence, Quinlan. He has experience.
Ben: No I really don- okay i guess that was from experience but still
Ben: i really do not want to be in charge of this
Obi-Wan: Too late, you’ve already been named leader of our expedition.
Melinda: Pads and tampons are down that aisle to your left, chocolate is…pretty much everywhere.
Fennec: I knew it.
Fennec: She’s got superpowers.
Melinda: …no.
Fennec: You work for the government, you survived an attack from our bus, and you can locate anything at Safeway. You’re like an Earth Jedi.
Maul: except she actually knows about sanitary products.
Anakin: Low blow.
Maul: Oh, I know.
Obi-Wan: Great, you’re in charge of our next TED Talk!
Maul: Our next what?
Obi-Wan: TED Talk. Like Fennec’s. Except yours will be a health class.
Maul: Wait no, I signed up for a shopping trip not a TED Talk!
Obi-Wan: Too late! You’re doing it now!
Maul: I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS
Obi-Wan: NOPE I’VE ALREADY WORKED IT INTO OUR SCHEDULE
Anakin: we have a schedule?
Maul: KEEEEENOOOOOBIIIIIIIII
Padmé: Well, there they go chasing each other down the aisles with lightsabers.
Padmé: I now understand why Din always passes out on the couch after you guys get back from doing something stupid.
Melinda: It’s fine, that’s not even the first time I’ve seen this happen.
Melinda: Though usually the lightsabers aren’t real.
Anakin: i’m coming here more often
Ezra: i know right
Ezra: Well, now that there’s no Obi-Wan to guide us…
Ben: if all of you never turn to look at me all at once ever again, i will die happy
Luke: Didn’t you say you’d already died?
Ben: it’s complicated.
Ezra: Lead us to the sanitary products.
Ben: No.
Quinlan: I don’t think you understand that you don’t get a say in this.
Ben: I don’t think you understand that I’m not doing this.
Ezra: …I think it’s time for some blackmail.
Han: I don’t know what’s going on, but I want to blackmail.
Ben: padmé has already told my greatest secret
Ben: you cannot hurt me in any way that matters
Ezra: Can we?
Quinlan: If you don’t take over this mission then when we get home without any useful sanitary products I’m telling Jyn that it’s all your fault
Quinlan: All of that Jyn Erso wrath turned on you all at once.
Quinlan: Get ready to die a second time.
Ben: …
Ben: onwards, to the sanitary products
Ezra: I knew you’d come around.
Melinda: So are we going to help them?
Fennec: Of course not.
Padmé: I…I’m sure they’ll be fine.
Padmé: I need to track down Maul and Obi-Wan
Melinda: I’d suggest you listen for the sound of utter destruction and follow that.
Padmé: Yep. Pretty much.
Padmé: Well this will make an interesting story to tell the kids and grandkids.
Fennec: Yea you should definitely tell them after the TED Talk
Melinda: …
Ben: Okay, here you go. We’ve arrived. Go… get Jyn some sanitary products or whatever.
Luke: Which ones?
Ben: …
Ben: am i seriously going to have to guide you all through every step of this process
Han: Absolutely.
Han: I say we get the lime flavored ones.
Ben: first of all, just because the package is green does not mean it’s lime flavored.
Han: Oh.
Han: So green apple then?
Ben: …
Ben: i’ll take death at the hands of jyn erso over this
Luke: Come on let’s get the orange ones, Evaan is addicted to oranges!
Fennec: This has to be one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced.
Quinlan: If you’re just going to complain then can you at least text your girlfriend and ask which sizes they want?
Ben: fine
Ben: anakin, you better start looking for something to distract jyn with or she’ll burn you alive
Ezra: finally, a future joke that i understand
Melinda: And these people… are the ones everyone else picked to get the sanitary products?
Fennec: Yep.
Fennec: We have a somewhat sadistic voting pool.
Melinda: …
Melinda: You’d better send me a video of this TED Talk.
Chapter 56: Adventures in Anakin-Sitting (with a hint of actual productivity to keep the plot moving)
Chapter Text
Anakin: LOOK THEY HAVE SECRET AGENT PADS
Ben: do i want to know?
Quinlan: Nope.
Quinlan: You should go check it out.
Anakin: JUST LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME IT’S NOT A SECRET AGENT PAD
Luke: That says tampons…
Anakin: CLOSE ENOUGH
Anakin: JUST LOOK AT ALL THE COLORS AND THE LOGO
Ben: …Alright, Anakin.
Ben: Cara and Evaan want those anyways, so just…put them in the basket.
Anakin: OOOH WHAT ABOUT THESE
Anakin: IT GIVES YOU WIIIIIIIIIINGS
Ben: oh just kill me now
Ben: please, please stop pausing to point out every shiny, interesting thing in this aisle
Ezra: Guys I think Anakin is a bird in disguise
Luke: Explanation please?
Ezra: Well he goes around screaming and causing chaos, and he keeps picking up random things that catch his attention
Ezra: DUOLINGO HAS POSSESSED HIM
Quinlan: you know what
Quinlan: maybe we’re all just birds with internet access
Padmé: Okay guys, I finally stopped Obi-Wan and Maul from trying to kill each other!!!
Padmé: For now.
Padmé: But that’s better than nothing.
Obi-Wan: How fares the quest?
Ben: this is arguably the worst side quest i’ve ever been pulled into
Ben: and i’ve… seen some things
Ezra: Anakin’s a bird.
Obi-Wan: That would certainly explain some things.
Obi-Wan: Where are Fennec and Melinda?
Luke: Makeup aisle.
Maul: Fennec wears makeup?
Ezra: Oh, no.
Ezra: It’s all for Din.
Maul: Din wears makeup?
Ezra: Not yet.
Maul:
Maul: i’m off to the makeup aisle
Maul: HEY OBI-WAN, WHAT COLOR DO YOU THINK WOULD GO BEST WITH YOUR BLUE EYES
Maul: GOLD EYESHADOW OR RED
Obi-Wan: NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Maul: I’LL ASK FENNEC
Obi-Wan: GOLD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Maul: GREAT
Obi-Wan: …
Padmé: No way. Give me the lightsaber.
Padmé: I only trust about two of you with the lightsabers.
Padmé: And that’s only because your targets are at home. Normally I don’t trust any of you with lightsabers.
Quinlan: I mean… she’s not wrong.
Anakin: LOOK THERE’S SPORTY ONES
Padmé: …if we ever go back to our galaxy and times, i’m putting maul in charge of buying sanitary products
Padmé: I don’t care if we’re on different sides. I can’t trust any of you Jedi to do it.
Quinlan: From what Anakin’s been doing, I don’t either.
Ben: Just…put it in the basket, Anakin.
Ben: Those can be for emergencies.
Ben: Like you burning every other kriffing box in the compounds.
Anakin: WE NEEDED A HEAT SOURCE
Fennec: YOU COULD’VE JUST COME OVER TO THE GIRLS COMPOUND
Fennec: LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID
Luke: oh i forgot she was here
Fennec: Really? I’m offended.
Fennec: I even picked out nice makeup for you.
Fennec: Well now you just get the cheap kind.
Fennec: HEY WHO WANTS LUKE’S MAKEUP
Ezra: do we have a choice
Melinda: No, but we will take requests.
Ezra: force it’s like she’s got a twin
Fennec: Nah, just a slightly less chaotic doppelgänger
Ben: got anything in black?
Han: You’re actually going along?
Ben: Do I have a choice?
Obi-Wan: Not really, when Fennec’s involved.
Ben: Might as well go out on my own terms
Fennec: Great, any other requests?
Anakin: Pick out something ridiculous for the Bad Batch. I’m getting my revenge.
Quinlan: What did they ever do to you?
Anakin: They didn’t help me when I was stuck to the fridge. Or when I was being attacked by Jyn and her army.
Melinda: Oh, I remember the fridge.
Melinda: That was a fever dream.
Anakin: what
Melinda: You missed the cameras in the kitchens during your camera destroying rampage.
Anakin: THERE’S CAMERAS IN THE KITCHENS????
Ben: So you can see what they’re doing in the kitchens right now?
Melinda: Yes and unfortunately yes.
Melinda: Well, I can’t see them right now . I left the equipment in the bus.
Melinda: But we’ve been able to keep tabs on you that way.
Obi-Wan: …
Obi-Wan: text your girlfriend. now.
Melinda: Me?
Obi-Wan: No, not you.
Obi-Wan: He knows who I’m talking to.
Ben: She says Cara’s getting her weapons now.
Ben: Cara says “Time to shoot out their eyes”
Melinda: Please don’t
Maul: Too bad, she’s very anti-government. You can’t stop her once she’s decided to destroy government property.
Melinda: We’ve started betting on what stupid thing Anakin’s going to do next.
Melinda: This is our only source of entertainment.
Melinda: You guys are the funniest aliens we’ve had to deal with in quite a while.
Padmé: Hey guys…
Padmé: We’ve got a problem.
Ben: Anakin, whatever you just put in the basket, take it out.
Anakin: IT WASN’T ME
Padmé: It actually wasn’t him this time.
Anakin: Another Fennec lookalike?
Padmé: No.
Padmé: Hunter and Din just walked in.
Chapter 57: Toaster Hunting
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Din: GUYS I GOT A BASKET
Ezra: GREAT, WE ALREADY HAVE ONE
Din: WELL NOW YOU HAVE TO HELP US PICK OUT A TOASTER
Ezra:
Ezra: a what
Din: A TOASTER
Ezra: w-why?
Hunter: Kaydel imploded a toaster with chicken nuggies!
Padmé: And…none of you decided to let us know?
Hunter: uh…
Hunter: Nope, not really
Padmé: I am never leaving you idiots home alone ever again.
Padmé: Except to go to work, obviously.
Din: So how’s the sanitary product hunt going?
Ben: it…it’s going.
Din: that’s nice
Din: i’m honestly only here to hide from jyn so you guys better fix this mess
Ben: We’re trying but Han and Anakin are idiots.
Fennec: What else is new.
Maul: OH YEAH DIN WHAT COLOR MAKEUP DO YOU WANT
Fennec: SHHHH YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM
Din:
Din: maybe i’ll go back to dealing with jyn
Melinda: Oh, is this the responsible one?
Fennec: Yep.
Din: Do…do i want to know who that is?
Maul: That’s Melinda
Maul: FBI Agent Melinda
Melinda: Technically SHIELD Agent Melinda, but sure.
Din: Great, so you’re going to stop her from doing all this illegal stuff, right?
Melinda: Well technically she’s paying for all of the makeup, so the best I can do is give her a parking ticket.
Din: great
Han: DIN THEY HAVE SECRET AGENT PADS
Din: g r e a t
Din: hunter come on we’re going to the toaster aisle
Hunter: Where’s that?
Melinda: Just go four over to the right.
Hunter: oh okay thanks
Hunter: oh man she really does know everything
Melinda: What is it with you guys and thinking I’m all-knowing???
Fennec: Well you see.
Ben: Han if you put any more ‘flavored’ pads in the basket i’m leaving you here
Ben: you’ll just have to survive off of flavored pads for the rest of your life
Han: Well at least I’ll only have to last until I get stabbed.
Luke: HEY WAIT COME BACK WE NEED YOU
Quinlan: YEAH YOU’RE LITERALLY OUR ONLY BRAIN CELL
Quinlan: YOU AND MAUL AND HE LEFT TO GO PICK OUT MAKEUP
Ben: no i’m going to go help with the toaster
Ben: i don’t want any part in this any more
Obi-Wan: well then what are we supposed to do
Ben: text everyone back at the compounds or something
Obi-Wan: BUT YOU’RE OUR GUIDE
Ben: I have reached my limit for dealing with Han for today.
Hunter: Hey Din, this toaster looks like you!
Din: please stop saying that every time we pass a metal toaster
Ben: Or maybe I’ll go help Fennec and Maul in the makeup aisle
Hunter: All I’m saying is, it looks like it’s made out of beskar
Hunter: It has a stripe across the middle that looks like your visor
Hunter: And it—
Fennec: Hey what’s the last one
Fennec: I wanna hear why this toaster looks like Din
Padmé: Hey are you guys okay down there?
Maul: oh hey padmé
Maul: i forgot you were here
Padmé: I’m trying to get more food and make the most of our time here.
Padmé: Unlike the rest of you.
Quinlan: I beg to differ
Quinlan: I’m making some memories that will last quite a long time.
Quinlan: Like Anakin and his secret agent pads.
Padmé: …
Padmé: So anyways, should I be concerned that Din and Hunter just froze?
Fennec: Froze?
Fennec: HEY DIN DID YOU GET TOO RUSTY
Fennec: I’M NOT POURING OIL ALL OVER YOU
Fennec: ACTUALLY WAIT THAT WOULD BE FUN SO I PROBABLY WOULD
Fennec: oh wait. i know what this is.
Fennec: Padmé. Is there a child nearby?
Padmé: uhhhh
Padmé: Yes?
Fennec: Where are the child’s parents?
Padmé: I dunno???
Fennec: oh no. i know exactly what this is.
Fennec: Mandalorian Instant Dad Mode
Luke: Mandalorian…what?
Din: FOUNDLING
Hunter: FOUNDLING
Din: FOUNDLING
Hunter: FOUNDLINGGGGGG
Fennec: Brace yourselves.
Maul: well there goes our last brain cell.
Notes:
Credit for the Din-and-Hunter-and-their-foundlings idea goes to CT-9906! Thank you for this epically chaotic suggestion :)
Chapter 58: Mandalorian Instant Parent Mode
Notes:
I just realized that this draft didn’t post…oops
Oh well, here’s your new dose of Star Wars chaos… just a few days late, apologies!
Chapter Text
Padmé: Would…anyone like to explain what’s going on?
Fennec: I just did.
Padmé: that made no sense
Fennec: don’t worry, you’ll understand soon
Din: MY FOUNDLING
Hunter:
Hunter: i’m sorry
Hunter: what
Hunter: MY FOUNDLING
Din: NO
Din: MINE
Maul: None of us are going to stop this, right?
Ben: I’m done. You guys can.
Anakin: I conveniently remembered I have to get chocolate for Jyn
Fennec: Makeup
Obi-Wan: I… don’t want to be a part of whatever that is.
Padmé: …
Padmé: Well too bad.
Padmé: You owe me from earlier. I had to chase you through the entire store just to stop you from fighting.
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: okay fine, i kind of deserve it
Hunter: I SAW IT FIRST
Din: NO I DID
Obi-Wan: Actually nevermind.
Padmé: Nope, too late.
Padmé: EVERYONE BETTER BE AT THE CHECKOUT LINE BY THE TIME WE’RE DONE WITH THIS
Luke: can i go hide in the bus
Fennec: Nope
Luke: please?
Fennec: No
Maul: come on fennec, he’s literally the most innocent person here
Maul: just let him go back to the bus
Fennec: no you don’t understand
Fennec: he literally can’t go hide in the bus
Ezra: What did you do now?
Fennec: so i uh
Fennec: i might’ve left the keys in the bus
Ezra: YOU WHAT
Fennec: IT’S FINE I CAN JUST BREAK US IN
Fennec: PADMÉ JUST SAID I’M NOT ALLOWED TO TEACH HER KIDS ANYTHING ILLEGAL
Fennec: not that leia needs me to teach her anything illegal 👀 but luke is a cinnamon roll so
Luke: i’m gonna go hide in a wheelybox
Ezra: …You do that.
Han: i’m coming with you
Han: less chance of getting stabbed
Ezra: …
Ben: is he ever going to get over that
Maul: Nope.
Maul: getting stabbed is something you don’t really forget
Fennec: Mood
Melinda: Do I want to know the context for all of those?
Fennec: nope
Maul: I got cut in half by a teenager!
Melinda:
Melinda: have you ever considered becoming a secret agent?
Maul: Well I kind of am
Obi-Wan: He’s a secret agent for evil
Padmé: Guys, they’re not doing anything
Padmé: They’re just staring at this little kid and…nope that’s all they’re doing
Hunter: mine
Din: mine
Padmé: Oh and also that
Obi-Wan: What if…what if he’s BOTH of yours?
Luke: Is this how being a Jedi works?
Obi-Wan: Uh…
Obi-Wan: Sometimes, yeah.
Din: No. My foundling.
Hunter: YOU COULDN’T EVEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR FIRST ONE
Din:
Din: oh
Din: is that how this is going to go
Din: WELL AT LEAST MINE WASN’T CAPTURED BY FENNEC
Din: THE IDIOT WHO CAN’T EVEN DRIVE A BUS
Fennec: HEY
Fennec: I CAN DRIVE
Ben: i don’t want to be a part of this, but no, you cannot drive
Fennec: Alright that’s it, I’m leaving all of you here
Fennec: except for padmé and luke because i’m not allowed to be mean to them
Fennec: and maybe anakin cause i want to see jyn murder him
Padmé: GUYS YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THE KID’S PARENTS WOULD BE OKAY WITH THIS
Padmé: YOU’RE GOING TO GET ARRESTED
Hunter: PADMÉ IT’S A FOUNDLING
Padmé: NO
Din: CAN WE KEEP IT
Padmé: ALSO NO
Padmé: even dealing with the senate wasn’t this bad
Quinlan: I don’t know, this is a lot more entertaining
Obi-Wan: quinlan i don’t think you ever showed up for a senate meeting
Quinlan: Yes but what Senate meeting ended with a custody battle in the toaster aisle?
Ezra: So is the kid also standing there or
Obi-Wan: Yep.
Obi-Wan: He probably knows exactly what’s about to happen.
Din: KID
Din: KID ARE YOU LOST
Melinda: What did he say?
Maul: It just occurred to me that we have a government agent here, and that she is at least a hundred times more qualified for this than a sad Mandalorian and an enhanced clone.
Melinda: no
Melinda: no way
Melinda: i’m not dealing with kids
Fennec: Great, welcome to the peanut gallery.
Han: the…what?
Fennec: Doesn’t matter, you’re a part of it.
Ezra: Hey guys where’s Anakin?
Quinlan: oh you’re right, he hasn’t sent anything stupid or whiny in a while
Quinlan: ANAKIN
Anakin: YEAH?
Quinlan: ARE YOU STILL ALIVE OVER THERE?
Anakin: YEAH
Quinlan: ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL
Anakin: NO
Maul: ….
Maul: i don’t trust that
Ezra: Yeah that’s fair
Luke: Someone should go check on him.
Melinda: Like I said, I’m not dealing with kids.
Maul:
Maul: we’re keeping her
Fennec: oh definitely
Fennec: So who’s checking on Anakin while our handful of brain cells are either freaking out over a youngling or trying to negotiate a deal between the first ones?
Quinlan: …
Quinlan: i might know someone
Ben: oh not again
Ben: please stop looking at me
Ben: …i’m never going one of these trips again
Chapter 59: Don’t Mess With Padmé Amidala
Chapter Text
Fennec: padmé i hear screaming
Fennec: what is going on down there
Padmé: They’re attempting to talk to the kid.
Padmé: I can’t even describe what’s going on here
Anakin: DIN DO YOU NEED SOME CHOCOLATE TOO
Quinlan: Chocolate may be enough to stop Jyn.
Quinlan: But I don’t think this situation can be salvaged at all.
Anakin: well i want more chocolate so i’m getting him some and if he doesn’t want it i’m eating it
Ben: Asajj is texting
Quinlan: oh no
Ben: She wants chocolate too. Preferably dark.
Anakin: Okay she can have chocolate too.
Han: can i have chocolate
Anakin: yeah sure
Din: Padmé, you can’t just make us leave this poor little foundling here.
Padmé: i’m not saying leave the kid i’m saying turn him over to the people who work here
Hunter: You want us to…get rid of…a foundling?
Ezra: Oh great. They’ve both adopted the kid.
Ezra: This really can’t get any worse.
Padmé: Guys, the kid’s parents are probably just around the corner looking for him…
Din: Hey kid, do you wanna learn how to use a jetpack
Fennec: Oh, this should be interesting
Ezra: This is usually when Padmé steps in
Ezra: And means business.
Hunter: NO I WANT TO TEACH HIM
Din: I’M THE MANDALORIAN IT’S MY DUTY
Hunter: HEY KID HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN CLONE FIGHTING TECHNIQUES
Din: YES TEACH HIM THE OUTDATED, EASILY BESTED WAYS OF THE CLONE TROOPERS
Hunter: EASILY BESTED? YOU WANNA TEST THAT?
Padmé: OH FOR FORCE’S SAKES STOP ARGUING IN FRONT OF THE KID
Din: sorry
Hunter: yeah sorry padmé
Din: So… you want to learn about jetpacks?
Padmé: Somebody responsible go find the kid’s parents.
Padmé: Obi-Wan, it’s your turn to be productive.
Obi-Wan: If I have to…
Obi-Wan: Who can connect me to the store’s overhead speaker system?
Fennec: ME
Obi-Wan: great
Obi-Wan: HELLO, WOULD THE PARENTS OF THE LOST YOUNGLING IN THE TOASTER AISLE PLEASE COME COLLECT THEIR CHILD
Obi-Wan: PREFERABLY BEFORE THE MANDALORIAN AND THE CLONE TROOPER START DUELING FOR WHO GETS TO ADOPT SAID YOUNGLING
Obi-Wan: ALSO IF YOU SEE A LOST ANAKIN PLEASE RETURN HIM TO US, HE’S IN THE CHOCOLATE AISLE AND WE CAN’T LEAVE HIM ALONE FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES OR HE’LL DO SOMETHING STUPID
Ben: it’s fine, i’ll go get anakin
Ben: i wouldn’t wish him on any of these people
Ben: except for all of you
Luke: Even me? 🥺
Ben:
Ben: I don’t even want to go there.
Anakin: Does this look like enough chocolate?
Padmé: Obi-Wan, can you repeat your announcement?
Obi-Wan: Sure
Ben: …That’s probably enough.
Padmé: Oh no.
Padmé: How bad is it?
Ezra: Not that bad, actually.
Fennec: That’s a first.
Anakin: i’d rather not die today, thanks
Quinlan: So we can get Anakin to act serious by threatening him with Jyn. Got it.
Melinda: Does this happen often?
Fennec: Jyn threatening people? Yeah.
Fennec: Jyn threatening Anakin? Also yeah.
Fennec: Anakin being responsible? You just experienced a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Padmé: LOOK GUYS THE KID’S PARENTS ARE HERE
Padmé: PLEASE TURN THE FOUNDLING OVER TO THE CHILD’S ACTUAL PARENTS
Din: please can we keep him
Hunter: pleeeeeeease
Padmé: i want to go home and pretend this never happened
Fennec: But it did.
Padmé: …Thanks Fennec.
Padmé: Look, go talk to the kid’s parents or something. I’m going to get more oranges for Evaan.
Padmé: Everyone else better be at checkout before I get there or you’re going to regret it.
Han:
Han: luke how is it that you’re related to her
Luke: i don’t know
Luke: is it possible that i got no genes from either of my parents?
Ezra: In the Skywalker family? Yes.
Hunter: GUYS GUESS WHAT
Hunter: WE MADE A DEAL
Din: WE GET TO BE THE KID’S UNCLES
Din: AND OCCASIONALLY TEACH HIM WEAPONS
Hunter: AS LONG AS IT’S SAFE
Maul: i honestly did not see that one coming
Maul: DOES HE WANT LIGHTSABER TRAINING
Melinda: yeah you’re definitely the best aliens we’ve dealt with
Melinda: at least you guys aren’t trying to take over the world
Quinlan: Nope, just Duolingo.
Obi-Wan: If we’re going to train the kid to use a lightsaber then I wouldn’t choose Maul to do it but ok
Obi-Wan: You know, since he was defeated by a teenager.
Maul:
Maul: that was a cheap move
Padmé: NO FIGHTING, I’M HEADING TO THE CHECKOUT
Anakin: oh no
Quinlan: RUN ANAKIN RUN
Anakin: I’M RUNNING
Luke: I’m in the checkout area
Luke: where is everyone
Maul: Literally the complete opposite end of the checkout area
Luke: oh
Quinlan: RUN LUKE RUN
Quinlan: hey maybe you did get some genes from your parents
Padmé: I CAN SEE THE CHECKOUT AREA, YOU ALL BETTER BE THERE
Din: uh oh
Din: Well, we’ll see you soon kid!
Din: For now, here’s your first lesson on jetpacks.
Hunter: HEY HE’S CHEATING
Melinda: isn’t he the responsible one?
Quinlan: i think we may have broken din
Ben: i think so
Din: I'M NOT LATE
Maul: No. No you aren’t.
Ben: time to get kicked out of yet another store
Hunter: I MADE IT
Hunter: JUST IN TIME
Padmé: Alright, who’s ready for checkout?
Padmé: …I don’t even want to know why half of what’s in that basket is in that basket.
Chapter 60: Checkout (ft. …Ezra’s ex???)
Notes:
Apologies for the late chapter! Had to write a couple of reports last week that threw off my writing schedule. Expect the next chapter Sunday or Monday!
Chapter Text
Padmé: ALL OF YOU MOVE
Padmé: there is not nearly enough room for all of us to fit in this checkout lane
Fennec: we’ve done worse
Padmé: That’s not reassuring.
Fennec: oh i know
Ezra: are you sure we need that many pads
Melinda: Think about it this way.
Melinda: The more you buy now, the longer it will be before you have to do this again.
Ben: in that case we should probably get more
Obi-Wan: Let’s just get out of here before Din and Hunter find another youngling
Din: f o u n d l i n g
Hunter: a n o t h e r t i n y r e c r u i t
Padmé: NO.
Padmé: at least wait a few days please
Quinlan: She’s learning to ask for the bare minimum.
Ezra: Does this mean we can get away with more stupid stuff?
Padmé: NO
Padmé: It means they get more leniency because they’re less likely to abuse it
Han: too many fancy words i’m not listening to that
Padmé: See this is exactly what I mean
Din: Hunter, you have the toaster right?
Hunter: i got the one that looks like you
Din:
Din: Excellent.
Padmé: Okay everyone move, I need to pay for this stuff
Fennec: We have another problem.
Obi-Wan: yeah ezra is just staring at the guy running the checkout
Obi-Wan: i mean it’s probably not every day you see a blue person on earth but i feel like ezra should be used to this
Ezra: blue man
Ezra: he followed me
Quinlan: Do we want to know who ‘blue man’ is?
Anakin: BLUE MAN
Anakin: HI BLUE MAN
Anakin: ARE YOU EZRA’S FRIEND
Ben: i knew he’d been quiet for too long
Ezra: We… are NOT friends.
Anakin: OH
Anakin: ARE YOU EZRA’S EX?
Maul: that was definitely the next most logical answer
Fennec: Łôgïç
Quinlan: just out of curiosity, how many hours of sleep have you gotten in the past week?
Anakin: uhhhhh… you know what, too many numbers
Maul: A normal amount
Maul: probably
Maul: normal for me
Ezra: I was sleeping great until this guy decided to haunt my nightmares
Ben: imagine not being constantly haunted by the ghosts of your past
Fennec: imagine not just being the ghosts yourself 💅
Quinlan: Well I was asking Fennec but there’s my answer I guess-
Melinda: socks
Luke: w-what?
Melinda: *I need to get socks
Melinda: I’ll be right back
Melinda: Don’t burn the place down
Maul:
Anakin: What are you all looking at me for?
Maul: I wonder why.
Anakin: Exactly.
Fennec:
Fennec: time for another ted talk
Fennec: intro to sarcasm
Quinlan: So Ezra are you going to introduce us to your ex or are you two just going to stare angrily at each other until Melinda gets back with her socks?
Ezra: he’s not my ex
Quinlan: Ahhh
Quinlan: Still dragging out the relationship then?
Ezra:
Ezra: no- why-
Ezra: we’re not dating
Ben: so you’re still in the denial stage?
Ben: i’d offer you tips but honestly i’m not sure how we got past it
Obi-Wan: I can’t believe you’re our relationship expert
Ben: i can’t either
Ben: because i’m not
Maul: Just let him do it.
Maul: It’s better than putting Anakin in charge of being the relationship expert
Anakin: I’m not that bad at being in a relationship!
Din: “I don’t like sand”
Anakin: ONE TIME
Anakin: IT WAS ONE TIME
Anakin: CAN WE LET THAT GO
Luke: i hope i didn’t get my flirting skills from my dad
Obi-Wan: You’re not supposed to NEED flirting skills, Luke.
Obi-Wan: You’re a Jedi.
Quinlan: so what do you call 90% of what you say to ventress?
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: occupational hazards?
Ben: Occupational hazards is losing a hand, not flirting
Quinlan: No, losing a hand is a weird Skywalker tradition you guys have.
Quinlan: Flirting is breaking the Jedi Code!
Obi-Wan: No, flirting is a distraction tactic!
Fennec: A distraction tactic is blowing up a building!
Din: Fennec, that’s a r s o n
Din: That’s i l l e g a l
Din: A distraction tactic is sending you and Cara to go beat up stormtroopers.
Fennec: No, that’s a hobby!
Maul: What’s a hobby?
Anakin: Breaking the Jedi Code.
Melinda: I got socks.
Melinda: …That’s a lot of lightsabers pointed in a lot of directions.
Luke: Why are you pointing one at me, I didn’t say anything!
Maul: yeah but i have two blades
Ben: Efficient. I like it.
Ezra: Does a blaster built into the lightsaber count as a second weapon?
Fennec: Ooh, two for one.
Padmé: …
Padmé: can we please just pay
Ezra: NO
Ezra: NOT UNTIL I VANQUiSH THRAWN
Ezra: AND FIND OUT WHY HE’S WORKING AT SAFEWAY
Anakin:
Anakin: definitely exes
Chapter 61: Checking Out (of reality, at this point)
Notes:
sometimes i hesitate to call myself a writer, not because i believe fanfiction isn’t a real type of writing (it most definitely is!) but because saying yes inevitably leads to “oh, what do you write?” and honestly guys, how do i explain to a normal person that some of my most popular fics on ao3 are an over-100 chapter comedy with a subplot about nutella and a romance story with necromancy?
and, you know…
*this*
Chapter Text
Din: can we at least add him to prevent…whatever this is?
Ezra: no
Ezra: he cannot be trusted
Din: neither can half of us
Anakin added Ezra’s Ex
Anakin: Hey
Ezra’s Ex: Who are all of you?
Ezra’s Ex: More rebels???
Ezra’s Ez:
Ezra’s Ex: Change my name at once.
Fennec:
Fennec: No, I don’t think I will
Anakin: So you guys are still dating then?
Ezra’s Ex: You told them we were dating?!
Ezra: NO
Ezra: THEY JUST DECIDED WE WERE
Ezra’s Ex: Good
Ezra’s Ex: You’d better not be going around telling people I’m your ex
Ezra: I wasn’t!
Ezra: Why would I ever date you in the first place???
Padmé: Unresolved romantic problems aside…
Padmé: Can you ring us up or are we going to have to get your boss involved?
Fennec:
Melinda:
Hunter:
Ezra: just do it man you don’t want to mess with her
Ezra: i wouldn’t wish that kind of wrath even on you
Ezra’s Ex: Change my name first.
Padmé:
Padmé: i have dealt with too much today
Padmé: i have nearly been killed by fennec’s driving skills
Padmé: i have been forced to hear about secret agent pads
Padmé: i have had to prevent a mandalorian and a clone trooper from adopting a random child
Padmé: i have had to deal with all of these idiots
Padmé: and also melinda
Melinda: hey thanks
Padmé: just ring up the goods already and let me go home, for force’s sakes
Ezra’s Ex:
Quinlan: Seriously man, don’t mess with her
Ezra’s Ex: please just change my name i’ve been working retail for three weeks now i deserve a break
Din:
Din: Someone is going to die if I don’t step in, aren’t they?
Ben: That’s usually what happens, yes.
Din: What’s your name?
Ezra’s Ex: Thrawn.
Ezra: Don’t worry Din, I’ve got it
Ezra: You can text now
Thrawn (derogatory): Excellent
Thrawn (derogatory): …
Thrawn (derogatory): I don’t appreciate this childish humor, Bridger.
Din: …i’ll fix it.
Thrawn: Thank you.
Thrawn: I’ve decided I like the Mandalorian.
Thrawn: The rest of you, though…
Thrawn: Jury’s still out
Padmé: Are you ready to do your actual job now?
Fennec: Padmé is done putting up with us guys
Fennec: nobody’s allowed to do anything stupid on the way home
Maul: Guess that means you won’t be driving then.
Fennec:
Luke: ooooooooo
Luke: t o a s t e d
Fennec:
Fennec: did you even pay attention to my ted talk
Fennec: It’s ROASTED, idiot
Quinlan: It’s fine, he’s Anakin’s kid.
Fennec: And Padmé’s!
Fennec: That has to give him SOME brain cells
Luke:
Thrawn: So…are you guys gonna give me that basket or am I supposed to charge you for air?
Thrawn: and also that pair of fuzzy socks
Melinda: Hey, I’m allowed to buy myself nice things occasionally.
Obi-Wan: Who has the basket?
Ben: here.
Thrawn: This is… a lot.
Maul: And?
Din: please no lightsabers
Din: we are packed in wayyyy too tightly to be using lightsabers
Din: especially if they have two blades
Thrawn: you guys know you can just bulk buy this stuff right
Quinlan: rey told us to go here
Quinlan: jyn was threatening us
Quinlan: we didn’t really have time to put together a better plan
Padmé: Please just ring us up, there’s more of us at home and I need to get back to make sure they haven’t blown anything up in the time they’ve been left unsupervised
Din: well they’ve been left unsupervised for a lot longer than ten seconds so i’d say there’s a pretty good chance that the only thing left untouched is Rose’s bedroom
Din: and that’s just because everyone gets along with her and also doesn’t want to risk her anger or disappointment
Ben: honestly i’m not sure which is worse
Anakin: Hey, Ezra’s Ex, do you wanna come back to live with us?
Ezra: NO
Ezra: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Thrawn:
Thrawn: That depends
Thrawn: On one hand, it would make Ezra angry, and I like that
Thrawn: How many rebels do you have back at your house?
Thrawn: also bedrooms, because i’m not sharing with an idiot like bridger
Luke: I think we’re mostly rebels
Obi-Wan: We have a bunch of Jedi Order people.
Obi-Wan: A surprising amount of criminals, too.
Hunter: A couple clones
Maul: I’m a Sith
Ben: there’s a lot of resistance people
Ben: and skywalkers
Ben: so many skywalkers
Padmé: Not a lot of responsible people, though.
Padmé: Which is probably because there’s a lot of Skywalkers
Luke:
Fennec: Speaking of Skywalkers, where’s Anakin?
Anakin: Hey
Fennec: oh hey
Fennec: what were you doing on the floor?
Anakin: they have candy
Anakin: and i think we should get some for jyn
Ben: we…definitely have enough to stop her from killing you
Maul: we have enough to put half the compounds in a sugar coma
Fennec: No way
Fennec: Have you seen how much stupid stuff we can survive?
Fennec: A little sugar doesn’t stand a chance
Hunter: also i think you underestimate the amount of people in the compounds
Hunter: that could put maybe three people in a sugar coma
Hunter: four if they were tiny like luke
Luke:
Luke: why is everyone insulting me
Maul: You’re just so innocent and insult-able!
Padmé:
Padmé: thrawn please check out faster
Chapter 62: Checking Out (for good this time)
Notes:
Yes, I know, three ‘check out’ puns in a row, not exactly smooth… xD
Chapter Text
Thrawn: Alright, now pay and get out of here before you get me fired!
Padmé: Believe me, all I want to do is get out of here.
Anakin: So you’ll at least come visit us, right?
Thrawn: …
Din: All visitors have been officially banned from bringing lightsabers to the compounds, by the way.
Hunter: Like that will stop them.
Din: You’re supposed to be on my side!
Hunter: i am but this is just common knowledge
Fennec: Alright, everyone back to the bus!
Anakin: You should visit on Tuesdays, that’s my day off!
Thrawn: We shall…keep in touch.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, you have his number now
Obi-Wan: You can invite him anytime you want.
Din: Okay, not ANY time you want—
Fennec: TO THE BUS OR WE’RE LEAVING WITHOUT YOU
Luke: what if i’d rather go back with someone who won’t insult me the whole time???
Ben: too bad
Ben: you’re a skywalker
Ben: you just have to deal with it
Maul: Plus we need someone to carry all this
Ezra: So is Melinda coming with us or…
Melinda: Oh, no. I have to get back to work.
Melinda: My boss did have something for you guys, though.
Melinda: I’ll go grab it from the bus.
Thrawn: Ma’am? As an employee of this business I have to inform you that you’re not allowed to trade illegal goods on the premises.
Han:
Han: guys
Han: he changed
Quinlan: It’s called Customer Service Mode.
Quinlan: it’s too late to stop it
Quinlan: thrawn’s already been corrupted
Obi-Wan: Excellent. Is this one more or less destructive than Mandalorian Instant Parent Mode?
Quinlan: He’ll only attack when provoked, don’t worry.
Obi-Wan: Han, don’t provoke him!
Quinlan: oh, we’re talking about han? well then he’s definitely going to attack.
Maul: Hey Thrawn, would you happen to be related to that guy standing over there?
Maul: the clueless one in the vest
Ben: do we really need to bring this up again
Din: Can we appreciate that everyone knows exactly what’s going on here… except for Han?
Din: and, you know, the guy we just met
Din: but you think han would’ve figured it out by now
Maul: Nope. We’re just going to be locked in this painful cycle until we return to our timelines.
Ezra: Maybe he’s just in daniel?
Fennec:
Ezra: denial
Fennec:
Ezra: DENIAL I MEANT DENIAL JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
Ezra: HOW ABOUT I MAKE YOU FIGHT THE GUY YOU THOUGHT YOU’D GOTTEN RID OF FOR THE LAST TIME
Ben: been there, done that
Ezra:
Ezra: i don’t even want to know
Quinlan: If it’s a future kid, you usually don’t.
Thrawn: can somebody remove me from this chat
Thrawn: i don’t need a play-by-play of you guys going home
Hunter: Oh yeah sure
Hunter removed Thrawn
Fennec: Perfect
Fennec: Now that he’s gone…
Fennec: What kind of illegal goods are we talking here, Melinda?
Melinda: I’m a government agent.
Melinda: I can’t give people in government custody illegal goods.
Fennec:
Fennec: kriff i knew it sounded too good to be true
Melinda: Our boss was just cleaning out our home base and he thought you guys would like this thing.
Padmé: Fennec can you unlock the bus, I’m gonna go put this stuff away
Fennec: funny story about that
Fennec: i might’ve left the keys in the bus
Padmé:
Padmé: you what
Fennec: It’s fine, I know how to kick down doors!
Padmé: …
Padmé: I’m going to go kick down the door and put this stuff away.
Obi-Wan: Let me just say that was not what I expected to hear.
Hunter: Are we doing it?? Are we corrupting Padmé Amidala?
Padmé: First rule of getting involved in dangerous politics?
Padmé: Always have an exit plan.
Ben: do you…need help carrying those…or…
Padmé: Nah I’ve got this.
Din: I would like to make an observation that will probably cause Anakin to try to kill me.
Din: Somebody please distract him for a minute.
Fennec: It’s fine, he’s helping Melinda find whatever she’s giving us.
Din: Excellent.
Obi-Wan: First of all, before Din says anything, now that Anakin’s gone how is everyone else enjoying the high ground?
Quinlan: 👀
Ezra: It’s GREAT
Ezra: He doesn’t know what he’s missing out on.
Obi-Wan: Exactly!
Obi-Wan: Anyways, Din what were you saying?
Din: why are all the skywalker women so powerful and then the skywalker guys are…
Din: *gestures vaguely at anakin*
Luke: Hey!
Luke: I’m a Skywalker and I’m not…uh…*gestures vaguely at Anakin*
Ezra: I beg to differ—
Fennec: then beg.
Hunter:
Hunter: Fennec you weren’t even a part of this discussion.
Fennec: Yes I know.
Anakin: HEY GUYS LOOK WHAT MELINDA GOT US
Fennec: IS IT SPICE
Melinda:
Melinda: I think you’ll find it’s better than spice, but I’ve also never tried spice, so…
Hunter: it’s perfect 🥺
Han: You don’t even know what it is.
Hunter: Look at thing and tell me it’s not perfect.
Obi-Wan: It looks like somebody squashed Artoo
Quinlan: Can I stand on it?
Padmé: I… don’t even want to know what it is.
Maul: It’s a metal circle!
Melinda: It’s called a Roomba.
Melinda: Anyway, I have to get back to work.
Melinda: Enjoy the Roomba.
Melinda: Don’t crash the bus again, we just got a call from the junkyard owner complaining about a missing bus.
Fennec: Only one?
Melinda: …bye.
Fennec: Bye!
Fennec: Thanks for the Room Circle!
Luke: I’m naming him Walter!
Maul: absolutely not

Jyn: i mean when you put it that way, yeah
Anakin: I like this holiday already.

Fennec: I heard stealing, I’m in.
Evaan: Is it like Life Day?
Rey: please no

Ezra: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Anakin: So you admit it! He’s your ex!
Ezra: NO TO THAT AS WELL
Anakin: Too late :)
Jyn: Anakin can I borrow your bird costume?
Hunter: Din you should dress up as our toaster!
Poe: The one that blew up or the one you guys just got?
Din: Neither.
Hunter: Come on, you already mostly look like it!
Quinlan: I’m gonna be that evil clown overlord that ahsoka works for
Asajj: see, for a minute there i thought you were talking about anakin
Fennec:
Anakin:
Fennec: roasted
Ezra: i’m dressing as luke and walking around yelling “toasted” at people
Luke: Can we please stop talking about that?
Ezra: No way
Cara: I’ll be the pieces of the Razor Crest.
Din:
Din: wow cara real sensitive

Fennec: may it rest in pieces over there, and over there
Din:
Fennec: and over there.

Zorii: tech can i dress up as you

Tech: Sure?
Anakin: Maybe I’ll dress up as me…but evil!
Ezra:
Ezra: you know, for some reason i don’t think that’s a good idea
Leia: I KNOW
Leia: I’M DRESSING UP AS A SEAGULL
Obi-Wan: it’s official, leia got some genes from anakin.
Luke: PLEASE NO NOT THE SEAGULLS
Leia: BEWARE LUKE
Luke: NOOO
Cara: I think I like this holiday very much.

Chapter Text
Din: So…half of us are going to trick-or-treat while the other half gives out treats??
Din: And then we switch?
Jyn: Yep.
Ezra: What are we supposed to give out?
Ezra: we have maybe a few bars of chocolate, some canned soup, mac n cheese mix, and some fruits Padmé bought the other day.
Jyn: uhh…
Rey: i found some cool rocks
Asajj:
Asajj: I like this idea.
Fennec: fennec approved ✅
Din: New plan: give out whatever you have on hand.
Fennec: I’m not saying Melinda gave me some old pairs of socks…
Maul: but we’re getting socks.
Cara: Excellent.
Anakin: most of you will be getting slices of bread and that is a sacrifice i am willing to make
Anakin: except for fennec
Fennec:
Anakin: you get soggy bread
Fennec: awesome
Fennec: prepare to find it again at a random time, probably squished into your lightsaber hilt
Poe: What are we supposed to dress up as?
Jyn: anything you want
Din: So you guys are going to dress up as whatever you want, and then give each other whatever you want?
Din: And you expect this to end well?
Asajj: Nope!
Asajj: it’ll be funny though
Fennec: GUYS
Fennec: WAIT
Fennec: WE CAN TRICK-OR-TREAT WHEREVER MELINDA LIVES
Din: please no field trips today
***
*timeskip of a few hours, I don’t know how else to write it*
Jyn: EVERYBODY READY?
Cassian: for someone who basically causes destructive chaos for a living, you never fail to surprise me with how quickly you can actually put things together
Quinlan: Are we sure she can actually put things together?
Ezra: yeah jyn seems like someone who couldn’t even put together an ikea table
Cassian: a what
Ezra: haha i know more about earth than you
Cassian: …
Cassian: stop bullying my girlfriend
Fennec: oh yeah? well stop bullying thrawn’s ex!
Cassian: i…wasn’t?
Ezra: HE’S NOT MY EX
Jyn: GUYS
Jyn: TRICK-OR-TREAT
Fennec: OH YEAH CANDY
Cara: everyone to your stations
Fennec: WHO WANTS SOCKS
Quinlan: I have… uh… individual playing cars and some envelopes
Poe: stop by me and finn if you want toilet paper
Obi-Wan: I’m so confused
Obi-Wan: Are you selling things or giving us treats?
Quinlan: It’s called ✨advertising✨
Anakin: OBI-WAN COME ON LET’S GET SOCKS
Obi-Wan: HEY WAIT I THOUGHT WE AGREED YOU’RE ON THE BOTTOM
Anakin: WE AGREED YOU’RE ON THE BOTTOM REMEMBER
Obi-Wan: NO
Fennec: What… what are you two even supposed to be?
Anakin:
Anakin: oh right we only have three weapons
Anakin: rey give me your lightsaber
Rey: uhh… okay?
Anakin: We’re General Grievous,
Quinlan: OH SO THAT’S WHY YOU’RE RIDING AROUND ON OBI-WAN
Quinlan: THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE
Obi-Wan: What did you think we were?
Quinlan: uh…unimportant.
Anakin: THANKS FOR THE SOCKS FENNEC
Fennec: YEP
Hunter: Quinlan, the Bad Batch and I would like some playing cards.
Wrecker: actually i want an envelope
Hunter: The Bad Batch and I would like some playing cards and an envelope for Wrecker.
Quinlan: You guys are…blue and red dudes?
Tech: I told you this costume was most undignified.
Hunter: But you like it?
Tech: But I like it.
Echo: We’re the Spider-Man Pointing Meme.
Quinlan: i feel like i should’ve known that from the amount of memes anakin’s been showing me
Anakin: It’s an important part of Earth culture!
Ezra: Like Chipotle was?
Anakin: Exactly.
Cara: DO YOU GUYS LIKE MY COSTUME
Din: cara you duct taped spoons to yourself
Cara: I’m the pieces of the Razor Crest, remember?
Din:
Ezra: toasted
Luke: please stop.
Notes:
Expect more trick-or-treat chaos next chapter…any guesses for the others’ costumes?
Chapter 65: Halloween Special! (pt. 3)
Notes:
Are we still doing Halloween chapters over a week after Halloween? Looks like it.
Does the author even like Halloween? Honestly I’m pretty indifferent.
So am I just dragging out Halloween for no reason? Yes, pretty much.
Should I have made smarter decisions and started the Halloween special a lot earlier? And then planned it so it ended on actual Halloween? Definitely.The good news is that next chapter will be the last Halloween chapter… and after that you all get to see what happens when Star Wars characters acquire a Roomba!
Chapter Text
Leia: GUYS LOOK I GOT CHOCOLATE
Leia: THAT’S THE FIRST PERSON WHO’S ACTUALLY GIVEN OUT CANDY
Padmé: oh no
Padmé: I’m only giving them out to the people with the best costumes!
Leia: MY SEAGULL COSTUME HAS RECEIVED THE SEAL OF APPROVAL
Luke: LEAVE ME ALONE
Leia: MOM SAYS MY COSTUME LOOKS FINE
Padmé: LEIA STOP TRAUMATIZING YOUR BROTHER
Anakin: she takes after her father 🥹

Padmé: you’re emo?
Rey:
Rey: uh.
Poe: roasted?
Armitage: Roasted.
Ben: What?
Poe: scroll up
Poe: it’s brutal
Ben: oh
Padmé: Not emo then?
Poe: Well it makes more sense if you see the rest of us, but SOMEONE decided to run ahead…
Rey: Hey, you were all too scared to go past Leia and Luke!
Zorii: It’s called a self-preservation instinct.
Zorii: it’s not something i have, but kaydel does so it balances out
Padmé: Ohhhh so all of you are couples costumes!!
Padmé: Ok this will be fun, I want to guess them all.
Fennec: QUINLAN GIVE ME MY LEAF BACK
Quinlan: PLEASE FENNEC JUST TRADE WITH ME
Fennec: NO
Quinlan: I HAVE A RED LEAF, YOU CAN HAVE MY RED LEAF!!!
Fennec: NO I WANT MINE
Jyn: Who’s giving out leaves?
Hunter: That would be me.
Jyn: SAVE ONE FOR ME
Hunter: Anything for… uh, what are you?
Cassian: She’s the Duolingo bird.
Jyn: With a knife!!
Fennec: CAN I BORROW YOUR KNIFE TO KILL QUINLAN
Cara: oooh a new halloween decoration
Padmé: …

Padmé: give me this small bit of happiness
Din: HEY GUYS NO MURDER FOR FIVE SECONDS OR PADMÉ WILL ANNIHILATE YOU

Zorii: Guess 😊
Padmé: OH IT’S KAYDEL ISN’T IT wait but…she’s a box???
Kaydel: She’s Tech and I’m a gonk droid!

Ben: Like she said, 5 minutes.
Rey: i’m just using this as an excuse to wear this sweater
Poe: They wouldn’t let me come up with a meme costume for them 😒
Zorii: That’s because your ideas were worse than Din’s sense of humor
Din: Hey!
Zorii: look me in the eye and tell me the last time you actually had fun
Din: …
Zorii: Exactly.
Ezra: HEY GUYS MURDER TIME
Quinlan: YESSSS FINALLY
Padmé: heY WAIT NO—

Notes:
This is officially going to be the second-to-last part of the Halloween Special… all apologies for dragging out spooky season over halfway into November… after next chapter we will be back to the regularly scheduled crack show!
On another note…. Execute Chapter 66…
Chapter Text
Fennec: OKAY EVERYBODY TO THE BUS
Fennec: NOW
Padmé: Hey wait I did not sanction any field trips for tonight!
Fennec: too bad
Cara: Well you didn’t sanction any of the other ones either!
Padmé:
Padmé: True.
Din: Padmé, this field trip is happening whether or not you like it.
Din: if there’s one thing i’ve learned, it’s that there’s no stopping field trips.
Padmé: Also true.
Padmé: Alright fine, but EVERYBODY BETTER COME BACK IN ONE PIECE
Obi-Wan: I’m not carrying Anakin around for that long!
Padmé: …Fine, you guys can do two pieces.
Ezra: Is anyone going to ask where we’re going?
Cara: oh yeah i forgot about that
Zorii: Apparently not!
Ezra: ok well
Ezra: where are we going
Fennec: TO MELINDA’S HOUSE!!!
Fennec: WHICH IS ACTUALLY JUST ANOTHER GOVERNMENT BASE
Quinlan: MORE GOVERNMENT CHAOS
Padmé: NO MORE CHAOS
Padmé: I just had to watch Fennec Shand dressed as…honestly I don’t even know what she is… chase Quinlan dressed as Ahsoka’s clown boss with a knife.
Padmé: a BLOODY knife.
Padmé: Looking at you, Jyn.
Jyn: it’s not real blood, i promise
Din: somehow i find that hard to believe but ok
Fennec: I’m dressed as an agent of chaos.
Quinlan: I’m surprised you had to change anything about your normal clothes to achieve that.
Fennec: jyn i need the knife back
Jyn: NO I’M CUTTING A SANDWICH
Ezra: so are we going on a field trip or
Fennec: Oh yeah I forgot
Fennec: EVERYONE GET ON THE BUS IN FIVE MINUTES OR WE’RE DRAGGING YOU WITH US
Obi-Wan: What if I just… don’t go?
Fennec: oh no you don’t get a choice in the matter
Fennec: plus padmé says none of us are allowed to be left home alone after what happened at safeway *cough* anakin *cough*
Anakin: What happened at Safeway was entirely not my fault!
Jyn: hmmm whatever shall i use this knife for now that i’m done cutting this sandwich…
Anakin: on second thought, i’m just going to head out to the bus
Anakin: come on obi-wan let’s get on before all the seats are taken up
Obi-Wan: fine…
Poe: Hey the seating arrangement can’t be much worse than it was last time.
Ben: you had to bring it up?
Poe: Yes.
Armitage: Don’t worry I’ll fill in for Han.
Zorii:
Rose:
Mitaka: that doesn’t seem like the best idea considering what happened to han
Poe: So for safety reasons I will be collecting all of your weapons until trick-or-treat is over.
Rey: I don’t think that’s going to stop us but alright if it makes you feel better.
Poe: It does.
Din: Well…
Din: Looks like it’s time for Padmé’s second official field trip.
Padmé: Technically my first.
Cara: safeway was less of a field trip than a preventing-a-jyn-erso-induced-apocalypse mission
Ahsoka: YESSSS MY FIRST FIELD TRIP
Din: oh no
Din: how much chocolate has she had?
Anakin: A lot.
Din: …great.
Ahsoka: FINALLY I GET TO MEET THIS MYSTERIOUS MELINDA YOU ALL KEEP TALKING ABOUT
Fennec: And her coworkers!
Ahsoka: AND HER COWORKERS
Din: well
Din: maybe it’s a good thing only a few people handed out candy
Chapter 67: Halloween Special! (pt. 5)
Notes:
Finally, Halloween has ended!!! And happy Thanksgiving to anyone who celebrates!
Oh, and Daisy and Melinda are both from the Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but you don’t need to know anything about them aside from the fact that they’re government agents and live and work in a government base.
Chapter Text
Fennec: Okay everyone, remember what we say?
Luke: Thanks for the Roomba?
Fennec: No.
Jyn: TRICK OR TREAT
Fennec: Yes.
Padmé: Maybe without all the knife swinging.
Jyn: It adds character!
Padmé: And it subtracts limbs.
Padmé: No knife swinging.
Jyn: You’re no fun…
Fennec: SHHHHH
Fennec: WE’RE HERE
Din: does she know we’re coming—
Cara: Obviously not.
Din: they’re totally going to think we’re aliens attacking their base.
Cara:
Cara: HEY FENNEC
Fennec: YEAH
Cara: ARE WE GONNA DIE
Fennec:
Fennec: MAYBE
Cara: AWESOME
Cara: Okay, who here has died before?
Cara: Show of hands.
Padmé: I’ve survived an assassination attempt, does that count?
Din: …Sure.
Maul: I’ve survived worse than a few government agents.
Quinlan: Oh…like a teenage government agent?
Obi-Wan: Hey, I’m not a government agent!
Maul:
Asajj: i beg to differ
Fennec: then beg.
Maul: Fennec. Every time. Why.
Fennec: it’s an instinct
Fennec: i can’t control it
Poe: So are we going in or are we staying in the bus all night?
Din: i’m all for staying in the bus
Cara: of course you are
Anakin: Let’s go before my costume is ruined.
Anakin: also known as obi-wan running off because he’s a coward
Obi-Wan:
Anakin: Maybe i should’ve just gone with my first idea
Quinlan: Which was?
Anakin: The top half of Maul.
Maul:
Maul: actually i’d like to see how you would have pulled that one off
Asajj: I’d be very eager to help
Anakin: Absolutely.
Asajj: Though my way of doing it might be more permanent.
Anakin: Absolutely Not.
Fennec: OKAY EVERYBODY READY
Jyn: YES
Padmé: Jyn Erso, you are very close to losing knife privileges.
Cassian: who gave her knife privileges?
Jyn: I did.
Fennec: 3…
Anakin: ooh countdown time
Anakin: 2…
Cara: 1…
Fennec: wait somebody ring the doorbell
Ezra: Who puts a doorbell on a secret government compound?
Fennec invited Melinda
Fennec: yo can you come out real quick
Melinda: Sure
Melinda: ETA 30 seconds
Din: so you guys aren’t doing anything now right
Melinda: Halloween is our off day
Melinda: Kind of hard to tell whether there’s actual aliens attacking or if it’s just people in costumes.
Anakin: So you’re telling me…
Leia: oh no
Anakin: I could go rob a bank right now…
Anakin: And NONE of you would be able to stop me?
Melinda:
Melinda: well there’s still the police
Melinda: but technically, yes
Anakin: guys i’ve got an excellent idea
Fennec: NO
Fennec: WE’RE GOING WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN
Melinda: What plan?
Melinda: actually just tell me once i get this door open
Fennec: ready?
Anakin: yep?
Cassian: jyn. knife.
Jyn: ugh
Poe: guys everyone get with your partner or this will look stupid
Rose: says the meme to the taco
Fennec: GUYS
Fennec: SHH
Melinda: So we meet again.
Anakin: TRICK OR TREAT
Maul: the trickiest of treats to you
Ezra: What.
Ahsoka: The trickiest of treats indeed.
Melinda: …
Fennec: oh hello random other lady
Melinda invited Daisy
Daisy: 🥹 i’m so happy
Daisy: We never get trick-or-treaters.
Daisy: I’m getting the candy basket.
Melinda:
Melinda: daisy.
Daisy: Come on, you know we never get trick-or-treaters!
Melinda: …Fine.
Daisy: Yes!
Melinda: So why does the innocent one have frying pans duct-taped to his arms?
Luke: I’m a Mandalorian.
Luke: This is the way.
Din: i’m so proud
Daisy: Okay we have Snickers, Twix, and also some Gummi Bears.
Anakin: what
Zorii: s-snicker?
Zorii: i mean it sounds appealing but still
Melinda: Daisy they’re new to Earth.
Daisy: oh right
Daisy: Here just take one, I swear they’re not poisonous.
Fennec:
Fennec: Seems legit.
Poe: can i try a bear
Daisy: Sure!
Daisy: i’m so happy, no one ever comes for candy
Melinda: please never tell coulson i let you do this
Din: Maybe this holiday isn’t that bad…
Cara: I knew you’d come around!
Padmé: JYN YOU JUST LOST KNIFE PRIVILEGES
Jyn: THAT WAS CASSIAN
Cassian: NO IT WASN’T
Jyn: YOU’RE A HORRIBLE LIAR
Cassian: LYING IS LITERALLY MY JOB
Jyn: well you’re bad at lying to me.
Cassian:
Cassian: kriff.
Daisy:
Daisy: Can we hang out with them more often?
Melinda: Absolutely.
Chapter 68: Meet Walter
Notes:
Finally back to the regular plot… this next storyline is something you don’t think would be inspired by real life, but here we are—
Chapter Text
Fennec: HONEY I’M HOME
Cara: Hi!
Padmé: Oh wow, the building’s still intact this time.
Rey: Is that…sarcasm?
Rey: what did you guys do
Quinlan: What didn’t we do?
Jyn: We blew up a toaster!
Anakin: does that mean she doesn’t want to kill me anymore?
Cassian: oh no she definitely still wants to kill you
Obi-Wan: We come bearing gifts!
Padmé: And more food, we were running low.
Poe: Oh good.
Anakin: jyn please don’t kill me
Anakin: i even brought you chocolate
Jyn:
Jyn: I’ll consider it.
Anakin: …
Quinlan: I know this is supposed to be some dramatic moment but I would actually kill for a sandwich right now so I’m gonna go make lunch.
Poe: Yeah same, now that we have food to make a sandwich with.
Poe: and not…whatever rey does with food
Rey: it’s perfectly edible!
Rey: Anyway, you’ll be surprised to hear that Jyn didn’t destroy everything in the compounds.
Padmé: Really?
Padmé: Wow Jyn, I didn’t know you had it in you
Cassian: the power of rose tico
Rose: All I did was suggest healthy alternatives to killing Anakin!
Cassian: Yes and that’s more than anyone here has the capacity to do.
Padmé: Okay so Jyn didn’t destroy everything, that’s one less thing I have to worry about
Rey: kaydel on the other hand…
Padmé:
Padmé: are you serious.
Rey: yea unfortunately
Padmé: Din can you do that thing with the google real quick?
Din: Google something?
Padmé: Yeah.
Din: What?
Padmé: Can you put an adult in time out?
Din: …
Din: Most of these say yes but they’re about marriages.
Kaydel:
Padmé: close enough. kaydel, you’re in time out.
Kaydel: What??
Padmé: I don’t know what else to do
Tech: Honestly all she did was blow up a toaster.
Rose: And antagonize people.
Rose: but then again, when don’t we antagonize each other?
Cassian: I can’t believe I’m defending Kaydel but Leia was antagonizing people too
Din: Can I really not leave you home alone for more than two minutes?
Echo: I’d say anything over five is too much.
Padmé: Leia, you’re in time out too!
Leia: I WASN’T ANTAGONIZING PEOPLE THAT MUCH
Padmé: OK WELL wait i wasn’t even here
Padmé: People who were here, do I put Leia in time out or no?
Wrecker: Nah, she was fine
Leia: Thank you!
Anakin: Oh yeah, before she puts anyone else in time out
Anakin: WE GOT A FLOOR CIRCLE!!!
Cara:
Cara: I’m intrigued.
Asajj: A…floor circle.
Asajj: A carpet?
Quinlan: Well it has a name but it’s basically a floor circle.
Luke: Its name is Walter!
Fennec: NO IT IS NOT
Luke: YES IT IS
Luke: WATCH THIS
Luke: Anakin can you put the floor circle on the floor?
Anakin: sure
Luke: Walter, come here!!! Over here!!!
Jyn: IT MOVED
Jyn: IT’S ALIVE
Jyn: HOLY FORCE THEY HAVE DROIDS ON EARTH TOO
Fennec:
Fennec: this feels like a fever dream
Luke: See, he knows his name!
Asajj: Oh for force’s sakes.
Asajj: Don’t tell me we’re actually naming it—
Cara: WALTER OVER HERE
Cara: HERE BOY
Asajj: we are. we are actually naming this floor circle walter.
Cassian: You didn’t steal this from the government, right?
Fennec: Technically the government gave it to us
Cassian: …
Anakin: It was a gift from Melinda!
Poe: but what is it
Poe: seriously guys, i’m not even in the same room as you. can someone describe it?
Cara: It’s… a circle. And it moves. And its name is Walter.
Zorii: she’s joking but that’s actually everything you need to know
Fennec: Oh also it’s called a Roomba.
Cara: I like it.
Jyn: i…feel somewhat threatened by this small moving circle
Ezra:
Ezra: ok hear me out
Ezra: what do you think would happen if i pet it?
Poe: …
Poe: i need a drink
Padmé: NO ALCOHOL IN THE COMPOUNDS
Padmé: NOT BECAUSE I’M AFRAID YOU’LL DRINK, BUT BECAUSE ONE OF YOU WILL INEVITABLY SET IT ON FIRE
Poe: no i meant i need a drink to go with my sandwich
Padmé: oh
Padmé: well we did just stock up on juice boxes so you can have one of those if you’d like
Chapter 69: Let the Roomba War Begin.
Notes:
No Christmas special this time, probably for the best considering how long the Halloween one ended up… maybe a New Year’s one, though…
Anyways, Merry (one day late) Christmas, for those of you who celebrate!!!
Chapter Text
Jyn: IT’S COMING TOWARDS ME
Luke: GOOD BOY WALTER
Jyn: GET HIM AWAY
Quinlan: are we just going to ignore the fact that he’s only moving a few centimeters a minute
Quinlan: just…walk away jyn
Fennec: I mean I could make him go faster…
Anakin: And we could give him weapons!
Luke: NO
Luke: WALTER IS NOT A WEAPON
Cara:
Cara: yet.
Jyn: I will not back down to this tiny metal cirHE’S GONNA EAT MY FEET
Cassian: so this is new
Anakin: that looks uncomfortable
Poe: What happened?
Cara: Bring your sandwich in here and find out for yourself
Poe: no i’m busy
Anakin: Jyn just jumped onto Cassian
Poe:
Poe: yeah i didn’t need to know that
Asajj: Not…not like that…
Asajj: She’s scared of the Roomba.
Jyn: I’m not afraid of that thing!
Jyn: i just
Jyn: don’t need my feet eaten today
Poe: …
Poe: not what i was expecting but alright
Quinlan: I’m not afraid of it
Quinlan: I’m just… going to sit on a table. So it doesn’t eat my feet.
Asajj:
Asajj: i’m going to fight it
Din: I’m beginning to think bringing him home was a mistake.
Ahsoka: It took you long enough.
Anakin: AHSOKA
Anakin: I FORGOT YOU EXISTED
Ahsoka: wow thanks
Ahsoka: anyways can i pet walter
Luke: Absolutely!
Quinlan: DON’T GO TOO CLOSE
Ahsoka: I’ll be fine
Ahsoka: See, he likes me!!
Rey: aww he’s just a little earth droid
Arm: i am not going within ten feet of that thing.
Zorii: i wanna stand on it
Asajj: Let me fight it first before you stand on it and break it.
Luke: Nobody is standing on Walter!!!
Din: oh no
Din: i know exactly where this is going
Evaan: If you’re going to fight him at least give him a knife so he has a chance.
Din: …maybe i don’t know where this is going
Asajj: POE CAN YOU GET A KNIFE
Poe:
Asajj: PLEASE
Poe: yeah sure
Poe: this should be interesting
Luke: NOBODY IS FIGHTING WALTER
Luke: WALTER IS A GOOD BOY AND DESERVES TO BE TREATED AS SUCH
Din: yeah i know exactly where this is going
Fennec: i call fighting him after asajj
Jyn: i’M FIGHTING HIM FIRST
Anakin: You’d have to get off Cassian to fight him
Jyn: …
Jyn: AVENGE ME ASAJJ
Asajj: I WILL
Zorii: WE ALL WILL
Maul: Me too!
Obi-Wan: Not you too???
Maul: yes
Maul: i want to fight walter
Obi-Wan: …fine. but only because he keeps trying to EAT MY TOES WALTER WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
Rey: do you really have to fight it-
Maul: Yes
Zorii: rey just look at him
Zorii: do you not want to lightsaber him?
Rey: no??
Zorii: oh
Zorii: well i do
Zorii: and that’s exactly what i’m going to do
Luke: why are you all like this.
Anakin: this is getting out of hand
Anakin: i love it
Poe: So you’re telling me… some of you guys want to fight the floor circle?
Jyn: Very much so.
Poe: And some of you think he’s going to eat your feet?
Obi-Wan: i don’t just think so
Obi-Wan: walter is chasing me around trying to eat your feet
Din: Google says Roombas clean things. You probably have dirty feet.
Obi-Wan:
Anakin: can we not talk about obi-wan’s feet
Ahsoka: yeah i don’t need that mental image
Poe: And some of you want to pet him??
Luke: He’s cute!!
Poe: And Jyn is a combination of all three?
Jyn: …yes actually
Poe: guys
Poe: The Roomba Wars have begun
Din: i knew we’d end up fighting somehow…
Ezra: The…what?
Poe: The Roomba War.
Ezra: …
Ezra: WE SHOULD ADOPT WALTER NOT FIGHT HIM
Asajj: HE’S OBVIOUSLY A THREAT
Quinlan: DIN CAN YOU GOOGLE “ARE ROOMBAS POSSESSED”
Din: poe
Din: what have you done
Anakin: and would you consider being my chaos apprentice?
Chapter 70: possessed roomba go brr
Notes:
First chapter of 2023… new year, same amount of chaos :)
Chapter Text
Quinlan: I think Melinda gave us a possessed Roomba.
Ezra: But she works for the government!
Asajj: Exactly.
Ezra:
Poe: Aren’t you from the Imperial times?
Ezra: yes but that doesn’t mean i need to be cynical
Zorii: oh
Zorii: Well I’m a future kid and let me tell you
Zorii: you’re gonna need to be cynical cause it doesn’t get much better from where you are
Ezra: wow thanks for the reassurance
Armitage: There’s no reassurance where you’re going.
Armitage: just a whole lot of depressing politics
Rose: And Armitage’s cat!
Armitage: oh yeah and my cat too
Poe: are we just really cynical or do the past people just bully us about being cynical because of the thing with han
Asajj: The thing with Han is arguably the funniest thing since tiny Boba Fett tried to pull off a bounty hunting mission
Han: not for han
Poe: and not for han’s son either which makes it even funnier
Rose: han’s son is borrowing my phone and would like you all to know that this is not funny
Anakin: Quick someone go find Rose
Cara: it’s more fun not knowing
Cara: because then we get to antagonize han by pretending to be his son
Anakin: True
Anakin: Let’s see… um *spins wheel* Evaan you get to be Han’s son today
Evaan: Awesome
Evaan: Someone give me a knife
Han: Hey NO—
Rey:
Rey: he’s gonna hate me for saying this but
Rey: this is really entertaining
Han: You’re right, I do hate you for saying that
Rey: Oh not you
Rose: …
Rose: you’re right. i do hate you for saying that.
Rey: You problem ʅ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʃ
Rose: Ok it’s actually Rose now and honestly I have to agree with you on this one…
Quinlan: This is great and all but can we please un-possess the Roomba?
Anakin: WHO KNOWS HOW TO UNPOSSESS THINGS?
Din: not it
Quinlan: …
Quinlan: i might know someone
Asajj: NO
Asajj: I’M NOT GOING NEAR THAT THING WITHOUT A KNIFE
Quinlan: YOU’RE THE ONLY WITCH WE HAVE
Asajj: NO
Quinlan: I’LL LET YOU FIGHT IT IF YOU UNPOSSESS IT
Asajj: I REFUSE
Cara: Hey Din can you google how to unpossess things?
Din: You all are fully capable of Googling things for yourselves.
Cara: Yes but it makes you feel important.
Din:
Din: i hate that a literal chaos demon knows me so well
Cara: What are friends for?
Fennec: nothing
Fennec: all your friends will eventually betray you and leave you alone for dead
Maul:
Maul: well
Maul: after that rousing burst of optimism
Maul: which i completely agree with but that’s not important
Maul: how about we google how to unpossess this thing before it eats someone’s feet
Cassian: Namely, Obi-Wan
Din: He’s still clinging to the ceiling?
Maul: He’s still clinging to the ceiling.
Din: Do you really want me to Google it?
Maul: YES
Asajj: YES
Rose: YES
Rose: it’s actually me now btw
Armitage: Welcome back
Ahsoka: LET’S UNPOSSESS THE ROOMBA!!!!!
Din: Okay, I found out how we can do it, and we have everything we need…
Fennec: three dots
Fennec: he did the three dots
Fennec: that means there’s a but
Jyn: a butt?
Fennec: …
Fennec: are you a child
Jyn: my childhood was a blur of violence and also farming
Anakin: …so we’re not gonna question that
Fennec: din you walking hunk of metal just tell us the but
Din: We have everything we need… but…
Din: We’re gonna need to catch the Roomba first.
Anakin: …
Anakin: FIRST ONE TO CATCH WALTER GETS OUT OF BEING THE UNPOSSESSING SACRIFICE
Han: THE WHAT
Din: oh no
Anakin: THE ROOMBA HUNT HAS BEGUN
Chapter 71: Roomba Hunting (it’s harder than it looks!)
Chapter Text
Erza: So.
Ezra: Who here knows how to set traps for small round objects?
Din: I have experience hunting with small round objects?
Cara: Bounty pucks don’t count
Poe: I have a droid that’s a rounder version of a Roomba?
Rey: yeah something tells me bb-8 is more cooperative than walter
Fennec: hmm…
Fennec: cara?
Cara: yes dear?
Din: i’m sorry what—
Fennec: get the knives.
Cara: ooooh this is about to get fun
Din: Hey I don’t want to ruin what is obviously a disturbing romantic moment between you two but WALTER IS TRYING TO EAT MY FEET
Cassian:
Cassian: don’t look at me only jyn is allowed to randomly jump on my back
Jyn: I am?
Cassian: no.
Cassian: i’m making an exception just this once
Jyn: Works for me
Poe: Wow Finn why don’t you ever do that for me?
Finn: Because I know you wouldn’t run from the Roomba
Finn: You’d either befriend it and introduce it to BB-8 or you’d fight it and lose.
Poe: …
Finn: Valiantly, but you’d still lose
Finn: just look at that thing, not even palpatine could survive a fight with that thing
Rey: …
Rey: hmmm i have an idea
Ben: no
Rey: …
Rey: it would be funny
Ben: do you remember what happened the last time we tried to fight something that we thought would take five minutes or less
Rey: Ok fair.
Fennec: I HAVE KNIVES
Anakin: …
Anakin: HEY GUYS WHERE DID WE PUT THOSE PLASTIC BAGS
Evaan: THE ONES FROM SAFEWAY???
Anakin: YEAH
Evaan: WE HAD TO LOCK THEM IN THE BUS
Evaan: MORAI KEPT TRYING TO PLAY WITH THEM
Anakin: THANKS
Asajj: Evaan.
Evaan: Yes?
Asajj: What have you done.
Anakin: FENNEC WE NEED TO CORNER IT
Cara: LUKE GET OVER HERE
Luke: STOP ABUSING WALTER
Cara: HE’LL BE FINE
Anakin: YEAH WE’RE JUST TRYING TO UNPOSSESS HIM
Luke: jUST LEAVE HIM ALONE
Obi-Wan: LUKE HE’S TRYING TO EAT OUR FEET
Luke:
Luke: well maybe he wouldn’t eat your feet if you were nice to him
Quinlan: i never thought i’d say this, but
Quinlan: toasted
Ezra: Kenobi, you just got toasted by LUKE.
Ezra: That’s a new low.
Obi-Wan: Believe me, I’ve seen lower.
Obi-Wan: like maul after i cut off his legs
Maul: WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THAT
Maul: I HAVE DONE NOTHING
Zorii: Maybe you should have thought about that before you went and had legs.
Maul: WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
Asajj: I think the Roomba is possessing other people now.
Asajj: Kenobi and Skywalker just toasted people.
Asajj: That’s not natural.
Asajj: I should know.
Anakin: YOU TAKE THE LEFT I TAKE THE RIGHT
Fennec: NO IT’S GONNA RUN OVER OBI-WAN
Anakin:
Anakin: IT’S A WORTHY SACRIFICE
Obi-Wan: HEY WAIT NO
Zorii: BLOOD FOR THE ROOMBA GOD
Obi-Wan: STOP ENCOURAGING THIS
Zorii: NO
Zorii: YOU’RE NOT MY DAD
Quinlan: …
Zorii: you’re right, how would i know
Zorii: my dad left to get some blue milk 12 years ago
Rey:
Rey: welcome to the club.
Ezra: Wow you future people are not okay.
Zorii: No we are not! :D
Poe: especially not with a Mystery Stabber in our ranks
Armitage: shhh don’t remind them
Ezra: At this point I think we all know who it is but we’re ignoring it in favor of watching Han fail at guessing who it is.
Anakin: Speak for yourself
Anakin: I still think it’s Zorii
Zorii: i wish i could claim such a feat
Han: …
Zorii: no offense han
Zorii: but if i’m going to get paid to stab people i’d like to at least make sure it’s someone interesting
Zorii: again, no offense
Han: Too bad.
Han: I am very offended.
Armitage: If Zorii stabs him does that end all of our problems?
Ben: well
Ben: let’s maybe not stab han
Ben: on the off chance we do go back to our normal times
Ezra: Yep, not even trying anymore.
Quinlan: Hey wait where’d Fennec and Anakin go?
Quinlan: they’ve stopped screaming
Fennec: shhhh don’t let it hear where we are
Anakin: sneak attack
Quinlan: …
Quinlan: This is why nobody lets you make the battle plans, Skywalker
Cara: Everyone in position?
Fennec: yep
Anakin: yeah
Cara: I’ve got the Roomba in my sights.
Cara: Just keep standing there Luke
Cara: You make a great bait
Luke: Thanks?
Cara: Attack in 3…
Cara: 2…
Cara: 1…
Chapter 72: There’s A Hostage Situation???
Chapter Text
Quinlan: hey so should luke really be standing between two idiots with weapons—
Fennec: ATTACK
Luke: WAIT LET ME GET OUT OF THE
Quinlan: oh!
Luke: …way
Fennec: oops?
Anakin: *nods* oops.
Luke: help me.
Quinlan: So… who here is good with healing people?
Asajj: watch the future kids all do that thing where they look at each other like they’re all in on some joke we don’t know about
Zorii: .,.
Poe: …
Armitage:
Asajj: oh for force’s sakes I WAS KIDDING
Rey: …about that.
Din: Not that I want to get involved with another future kids inside joke
Din: But why is it that whenever something happens
Din: It is always you
Din: And him
Ben: i’ve been asking myself that question a lot, actually
Rey: i’m just here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Din: i can’t believe only one of you is a skywalker
Armitage: *cough* for now *cough*
Rey: HEY
Rey: GET BACK HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE
Armitage: fennec i need to borrow the bus
Fennec: Well I’m a little busy at the moment
Padmé: NO LIGHTSABERS
Padmé: THANKS
Armitage: thank you padmé 😭
Rey: I CAN STILL FIGHT YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS
Padmé: I mean… hand to hand combat isn’t technically banned… so really all I can do is strongly recommend you not murder him
Rey: Yeah I can do that
Din: …why do i even open my mouth sometimes?
Cara: Eat food.
Din: Yeah I guess
Luke: ANAKIN GET OFF ME
Anakin: I NÉED TO GET TO WALTER
Cara: TAKE HIM HOSTAGE
Anakin:
Anakin: You know
Anakin: That isn’t such a bad idea
Asajj: Sometimes I wonder if it was a good thing that I didn’t have a dad
Leia: if your dad was anakin, yeah
Armitage: no no i’m pretty sure it’s universal
Cara: …
Cara: future kids are no longer allowed to text until walter has been captured
Armitage: WHAT DID I DO NOW
Cara: NONE OF YOU ARE OKAY
Cara: AND THATS COMING FROM ME
Cara: WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING
Maul: oh no
Maul: she’s becoming self-aware
Zorii: MAYBE NONE OF US ARE OKAY BECAUSE ALL OF YOU SCREWED UP THE GALAXY AND NOW WE JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT BY MAKING DUMB JOKES ABOUT IT
Maul:
Maul: they’re all becoming self-aware
Poe: that’s about the most logical thing i’ve ever heard her say
Poe: and i’ve known her for a long time
Zorii: what about the time i accidentally took spice and said all that weird philosophical stuff
Poe: that doesn’t count, it wasn’t natural wisdom
Cara: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN
Cara: NO MORE FUTURE KIDS UNTIL WALTER IS CAPTURED
Luke: YEAH GUYS STOP TALKING
Luke: BEING HELD HOSTAGE IS NOT FUN
Luke: I JUST WANT TO GET THIS OVER WITH
Ezra: so you’re not gonna try to escape???
Cara: It’s Anakin, why try?
Fennec: …
Cara: And Fennec too
Cara: i didn’t forget about you babe <3
Fennec: 😁
Din: maybe i should start hoping we don’t go back home
Din: i really don’t want to deal with these two being love while also having to do bounty hunting stuff
Cara: and face off those imperials you ticked off
Din: oh force that too
Anakin: ALRIGHT WALTER
Anakin: I DIDN’T WANT TO DO THIS
Anakin: BUT YOU GIVE US NO CHOICE
Fennec: What he said.
Din: fennec what are you doing
Anakin: She’s standing menacingly beside me and looking threatening to scare Walter into giving in.
Fennec: Pretty much
Anakin: Anyways, back to it?
Fennec: Let’s do it
Anakin: YOU HAVE ONE OPTION LEFT, WALTER
Anakin: THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN
Anakin: Quinlan I know you’re trying to video this but can you come a little closer to block off the hallway so Walter can’t leave?
Quinlan: no way
Quinlan: he’s going to eat my toes
Anakin: Uh…
Fennec: Asajj, Jyn, you wanted an excuse to use knives?
Jyn: ALWAYS
Asajj: Is that even a question?
Fennec: i know right
Fennec: PROTECT QUINLAN
Asajj: YES SIR
Jyn: KNIFE TIME HAHAHSHAHAHA
Quinlan: Thanks? I guess?
Anakin: YOU HAVE NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE
Anakin: WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING
Anakin: ok so apparently there is somewhere left to hide
Fennec: Can someone move that potted plant?
Maul: Sure
Anakin: OK NOW THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE
Anakin: WE HAVE LUKE
Anakin: SURRENDER OR HE DIES
Luke: WAIT WHAT
Fennec: bro have you never been used as a hostage before???
Luke: NO?????
Fennec: either the person being threatened gives in, or you die
Fennec: simple logic, really
Luke: I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS
Fennec: well that’s why you’re a hostage, luke
Jyn: Not to break character of being the hired gunwoman but you should give a TED Talk about how to be a hostage
Fennec: …
Fennec: not to break character of being the menacing weapons lady but that sounds like an excellent idea
Anakin: Not to break character of being the hostage-taking evil dude but can we go back to threatening the Roomba into handing itself over?
Fennec: oh yeah
Fennec: DO WHAT HE SAYS OR THE CINNAMON ROLL DIES
Jyn: *brandishes knives*
Asajj: *whatever jyn just said*
Anakin: Excellent job you guys, keep up the good work
Quinlan: i’m keeping the video of this forever
Chapter 73: is this basically the wikihow version of un-possession? yes.
Chapter Text
Anakin: OK IT’S STOPPED
Anakin: STRIKE TEAM GO
Cara: MY TIME HAS COME
Quinlan: Wait the what team—
Luke: LEAVE WALTER ALONE
Luke: HE’S DONE NOTHING TO YOU
Padmé: Have they set anything on fire yet?
Quinlan: Nope, they’re just covering Walter in plastic bags from Safeway
Cara:
Cara: Guys there’s a whole two tubes of eyeliner in here
Zorii: i know future kids aren’t allowed to talk right now but
Zorii: why is the roomba equipped with eyeliner
Leia: Mood.
Padmé:
Padmé: Which one of you taught my daughter slang.
Poe: oh no
Padmé: …
Poe: IT WASN’T ME I SWEAR
Poe: I’M JUST MENTALLY PREPARING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE
Cara: See and this is why future kids aren’t allowed to talk
Fennec: oh wait that was my eyeliner
Fennec: well not mine
Fennec: i bought it for ben and luke
Armitage:
Leia:
Ben: in my defense i had no say in the matter
Jyn: can i have it?
Ben: Sure
Jyn: CASSIAN LET’S GO MAKE EXPLOSIVES WITH EYELINER
Jyn: EVERYONE ELSE I GUESS YOU’RE INVITED TOO BUT ONLY BECAUSE PADMÉ SAYS I NEED TO TRY HARDER TO MAKE FRIENDS
Ben: never mind
Leia: i think luke would love to have yours if you’re not using it
Luke: So apparently it can get worse than being held hostage by your own father
Armitage:
Armitage: i don’t wanna be that guy but things get a lot worse for you family-wise
Ahsoka: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT
Ahsoka: FUTURE KIDS BETTER SHUT IT UNTIL WALTER IS UNPOSSESSED
Leia: Wait I need to work out a trade for the eyeliner
Ben: just take it
Luke: NO NO DON’T LET HER TAKE IT
Zorii: You’re doing this entirely out of spite, aren’t you?
Ben: That and the knowledge that Armitage would probably do the same to me if I keep it
Rose: Welcome to having a sibling, Luke
Rose: not that i can relate
Rose: i was the wild demon one
Asajj: but you’re too sweet to be the wild demon sibling
Finn:
Finn: None of you have ever had to deal with angry Rose and for that you should be thankful
Ahsoka: Ok and we’re back into future kids shut up territory
Cara: Unless one of you wants to help me wrestle this Roomba?
Zorii: Nah looks like you’ve got it pretty much handled
Cara: I do but you looked like you want in
Zorii: oh i totally do but my girlfriend would kill me
Asajj: Kaydel can get angry too???
Poe: they can all get angry and it’s terrifying
Jannah: like that time rey tried to fight her evil self
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: I’m locking all of you in a room until this is over
Rose: Can it be Cara’s room? I like the colors
Anakin: Cara are you done fighting the Roomba yet?
Cara: Oh yeah I’m just showing off now
Anakin: Excellent
Anakin: UNPOSSESSING TEAM GO
Asajj: how is it a team it’s just me
Maul: you heard the man, go
Quinlan: well i wouldn’t go that far and call him a man
Quinlan: perhaps ‘very tall child’ would be more appropriate
Anakin:
Anakin: How would you like to be my next hostage?
Quinlan: Walter doesn’t care about me tho
Anakin: motivation for asajj
Asajj: Joke’s on you, you can take him hostage as long as you want
Maul: how is this a healthy relationship again
Quinlan: she’s all bark and no bite
Quinlan: mostly
Jyn: Dog. You meant dog.
Jyn: Why did I think you meant tree.
Asajj: I’m a tree?
Anakin: Please just unpossess the Roomba
Asajj: Come on, aren’t you Jedi supposed to be patient?
Quinlan: Yeah but I’m running out of battery life to video this
Asajj: Alright, alright
Asajj: …
Asajj: actually, i’m gonna need that eyeliner
Chapter 74: Actual Productivity vs Every Character In This Story At Once
Notes:
The entire plot of this fic has turned into a tug-of-war match: myself and the various people who have suggested story arcs in the comments vs the characters, who are all very determined to take things in wildly different directions
who will win? that remains to be seen…
Chapter Text
Asajj: Ok, and then you add this symbol, that’s to protect yourself from being possessed by the spirit once you remove it from the possessed thing
Rey: Cool cool
Asajj: And then this one is optional but it’s just reinforcement
Rey: got it
Asajj: so why do you want to know all this again
Rey:
Rey: i have my reasons
Asajj: …nice
Maul: I thought future kids weren’t allowed to talk..
Rey: SHE’S TEACHING ME SOMETHING
Asajj: I’M HOSTING A ROOMBA UNPOSSESSING TED TALK
Asajj: ANYONE WHO CAN USE THE FORCE AND ISN’T OBI-WAN KENOBI IS WELCOME TO JOIN
Obi-Wan: WHAT DID I DO
Obi-Wan: not that i want to be anywhere near what’s going on but still
Din: So are you done unpossessing it yet?
Asajj: Almost
Asajj: basically we just need to seal it with some force stuff
Asajj: it’s hard to explain
Asajj: just watch
Ezra: oooh force magic
Rey: sometimes i wonder if having formal training would’ve helped but then i see you guys and think maybe it’s better that i taught myself everything from a book and a lot of trial and error
Din: sometimes i wonder who thought laser swords would be a good idea
Cara: Don’t you have a laser sword?
Din: Technically yes, and it’s done nothing but confirm my suspicions
Asajj: Alright, and that’s how you unpossess a Roomba!
Asajj: actually that was fun
Asajj: you guys need to let government people give us possessed stuff more often
Din:
Din: how about no
Anakin: Does that mean we can let Walter free?
Luke: does that mean i can stop being a hostage?
Fennec: no
Luke: but…she unpossessed walter…
Fennec: yeah but holding people hostage is fun
Luke: Hold the future kids hostage, they’re the ones causing problems!
Armitage:
Armitage: this is why
Armitage: we are still
Armitage: fighting a galactic war
Armitage: everyone is dumping the blame on our generation
Armitage: and then we take it out on each other
Ezra: You guys are what
Armitage: uhh
Armitage: nothing?
Ben: time-space continuity aside, that might be the most intelligent thing i’ve ever heard you say
Armitage: wow thank you
Armitage: guys i think i’m dying, he just complimented me
Poe: you might die, cara looks annoyed that you’re still talking
Armitage: oh right
Anakin: Alright, time to find out if Walter’s still possessed!
Anakin: Jyn get ready
Jyn:
Jyn: cassian get ready
Cassian: not again
Jyn: too bad
Fennec: it’s…not moving…
Luke: ASAJJ YOU KILLED HIM
Asajj: you know what i might’ve
Asajj: i probably should’ve double-checked all the symbols
Anakin:
Anakin: Well that was fun while it lasted
Jyn: Alright looks like we now have a nice table for girls night sabaaAASFDHSGHJDFSKHH
Fennec: oh look it’s alive
Fennec:
Fennec: WAIT IT’S ALIVE
Luke: WALTER YOU’RE ALIVE
Luke: YES
Asajj: See, I know what I’m doing!
Quinlan: Asajj?
Asajj: Yes?
Quinlan: never
Quinlan: and i mean never
Quinlan: become a medic
Asajj: why not?
Quinlan: …
Asajj: Eh I like my job, I get to annoy Skywalker
Asajj: And now there’s two Skywalkers to annoy!
Asajj: Three if you count Leia, but I’m not gonna mess with Leia
Din: That might be the smartest thing anyone here has ever said
Jyn: HE’S COMING FOR MY FEET
Cassian: Again???
Asajj: Oh
Asajj: Well then he’s not possessed
Asajj: I guess that’s just how he is
Cara: *nods* Some people really do be like that
Din: w
Din: what
Zorii:
Rose: zorii please no
Rose: whatever you’re about to say, just no
Zorii:
Zorii: maybe he’s just got a thing for feet
Cara:
Han:
Maul: i physically cannot believe you just said that
Rose: it’s moments like this when i rethink my life choices
Zorii: hey someone had to say it
Fennec: she’s not…wrong…
Obi-Wan: yes. yes she is.
Obi-Wan: no one had to say that.
Jyn: I feel like we have more important things to deal with
Jyn: Because
Jyn: Walter is trying to eat my feet again
Jyn: And it’s getting annoying
Cassian: jyn i can’t carry you around for longer than like
Cassian: five minutes tops
Ezra: Well Din says Roombas clean things
Ezra: So obviously we can solve this
Ezra: We just have to make the floors too clean for Walter to be angry and clean things!
Cara: That logic is literally worse than the time Din accidentally became the Mand’alor and couldn’t get rid of it without dying
Fennec: What do you mean “that one time” it’s still going on
Fennec: We have like five people here who are royalty and Din is one of them
Anakin: he
Anakin: he’s what
Cara: The Mand’alor!
Din: Reluctantly. Very reluctantly.
Poe:
Poe: And the future kids are the weird ones.
Cara: Did anyone tell you you could talk?
Jyn: You guys are just easier to blame!
Jyn: though i would like to hear about din becoming the mand’alor by accident
Din: Well Din would not like to hear the story again
Din: So let’s focus on the Roomba situation
Anakin: Roomba clean
Anakin: Roomba chase Jyn
Anakin: Solution simple
Anakin: Jyn, go wash your feet
Chapter 75: Earth Culture Lessons
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Quinlan: So… what are we supposed to do now that everyone’s just accepted that Walter is just really determined to eat people’s feet and not actually possessed?
Anakin: Funny you should ask…
Quinlan: NEVER MIND
Anakin: It’ll be fun!!!
Din: is it going to cause the destruction of property?
Anakin: No
Din: is someone going to die?
Anakin: not any of us
Din:
Din: i don’t think i like that answer
Anakin: But they’re not real people!
Din: i’m not sure i like that answer
Anakin: Listen
Anakin: We’ve been stuck on Earth for a while now
Anakin: And all we’ve experienced is Chipotle, Home Depot, and Duolingo.
Fennec: So really, all the highlights
Anakin: And I think if we’re going to be here for a long time, we might as well learn more about Earth culture
Cara: road trip?
Fennec: road trip.
Anakin: Not a road trip
Anakin: at least this time
Cara: aww
Anakin: I’ve developed a foolproof plan to experience the best of Earth culture!
Anakin: Actually I made several, but this is the only one Din will approve of
Quinlan: does this earth culture happen to include meme culture
Anakin: No, but now that you mention it that should be the next part of our learning about Earth plan
Anakin: You see, Earth humans have these things they call movies!
Rose: how
Rose: how do you pronounce that
Zorii: Mahv-ees
Jyn: Mow-vees
Din: is this a type of weapon
Anakin: They’re like holofilms, but Earth version!
Anakin: also they’re pronounce move-ees
Ezra:
Ezra: So we’re going to experience the highlights of Earth culture
Ezra: By watching Earth holofilms?
Anakin: Pretty much!
Ezra: that sounds like an excellent idea
Anakin: I know, right?
Anakin: And Earth people made it even easier too
Anakin: They separate them by these things called genres
Anakin: So I’ve put together a list of genres, and then a list of the best movies from that genre
Maul: Hold up, how do you know they’re the best?
Anakin: the internet told me so
Anakin: some dude named buzz feed
Maul:
Maul: sounds valid
Anakin: Everyone find a group and pick a genre!
Anakin: hey din can i borrow your helmet
Din: no
Anakin: hey zorii can i borrow your helmet
Zorii: only if it’s for something stupid
Anakin: it’s absolutely for something stupid
Zorii: take it
Anakin: ALRIGHT I WROTE EVERYTHING DOWN ON SLIPS OF FLIMSI, EVERYONE PICK THEIR MOVIE GENRE OUT OF ZORII’S HELMET
Zorii: that’s not stupid that’s perfect
Leia: anyone wanna do a skywalker group
Luke: no
Luke: you’re just gonna bully me the whole time
Poe: Future kids unite?
Armitage: Yeah sure, why not
Anakin: You guys don’t get to pick, you get horror because that’s what you bring to the compounds
Jyn: This is the first and last time I agree with Anakin Skywalker
Cassian: Hey Jyn do you wanna be in a group?
Jyn: Sure
Cassian: Who else wants in?
Ezra: Guess I don’t really have anyone else
Ezra: Hey Obi-Wan, need a group?
Obi-Wan: Does it really have to be with her
Obi-Wan: she’s scary
Jyn: she can hear you
Obi-Wan:
Jyn: she’s flattered
Cassian: Are we letting anyone else in?
Fennec: Hey Cara and Din you wanna watch Earth holofilms together?
Cara: Not like we didn’t already do that back home
Din: well someone needs to keep you two under control
Maul: Asajj, Quinlan, you are the only two people here I can stand and trust not to talk through the movie.
Quinlan: aw thanks
Maul: Want to watch together?
Asajj: Sure
Asajj: ANAKIN WHERE’S THE HELMET
Anakin: HOLD ON A MINUTE
Asajj: It says… “Teen”
Quinlan: can we pick a new one
Anakin: Nope!
Anakin: Bad Batch, who’s picking?
Echo: Guess it’s me
Echo: We got “Musicals”
Hunter: What’s a musical?
Anakin: No idea but here’s your list
Fennec: DIN CARA WE GOT WESTERN
Cara: AWESOME
Cara: WHAT’S WESTERN
Fennec: GREAT QUESTION
Anakin: Luke, who are you picking for?
Luke: Me, Han, Evaan… and leia
Luke: We got “Mystery”
Anakin: hey so padmé and ahsoka are we watching together or
Ahsoka: Only if Morai can come
Anakin: absolutely
Ahsoka: Awesome
Ahsoka: “Family”
Ahsoka: imagine having one of those
Padmé:
Ahsoka: sorry mom
Padmé: we don’t self deprecate in this family
Anakin: Yeah, leave it to the rest of your family to put you down!
Padmé: anakin no—
Anakin: Alright, who’s left?
Jyn: Me and Cassian and Obi-Wan and Ezra, only Obi-Wan doesn’t want to be here so he’s been trying to convince the Bad Batch to let him into their group
Anakin: ok well there’s only one genre left so it’s going to you four
Jyn: …Romance???
Jyn: Really????
Jannah: ew kissing
Poe: real mature j
Jannah: you dressed as a meme for halloween
Poe: and i loved every minute of it, thank you very much
Anakin: Alright
Anakin: Let the Earth Culture Lessons begin!!!!
Notes:
If I missed any characters when forming the groups, please let me know!
Also, if anyone has any movie requests to go with the genres chosen, feel free to leave them in the comments and I’ll try to work them into the story!
Chapter 76: Musicals (Pt. 1)
Notes:
The first round of movies are out! I tried to find a mix of musicals from all over the world, just because Earth has so many different cultures and languages and movies… a concept that is probably really weird to characters who come from planets that are typically characterized by one environment or culture (Kamino = cloning, Tatooine = sand, etc).
Also… two of these are completely self-indulgent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So I will 100% take any self-indulgent movie requests that you have!
A huge thank you to CrystalBorf for recommending The Greatest Showman, this one was especially fun to write their reactions to!
Chapter Text
Hunter: So.
Hunter: Musicals, huh?
Echo: Looks like it.
Hunter: Any idea what those are?
Tech: Nope.
Wrecker: What did Anakin put on the list?
Hunter: Uhh…
Hunter: Something called “The Greatest Showman”
Hunter: “Singing Lovebirds”???
Echo: Shouldn’t that be under romance?
Hunter: “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”
Tech: that
Tech: that’s not English
Echo: what’s english
Tech: it’s what earth people here call basic
Echo: oh
Tech: Earth must be a planet with two main languages, then
Wrecker: just use that google thing
Tech: isn’t that din’s job?
Wrecker: technically but it’s only so he feels like he’s doing something productive when anakin starts causing chaos
Tech: ahh ok
Tech: Alright Google, how many languages are there on Earth?
Echo: Must be one of those weird planets with three main languages
Echo: This Singing Lovebirds movie doesn’t look like Basic either
Tech:
Tech: well.
Hunter: What now?
Tech: It would seem the number of languages on this Earth is around 7,106
Hunter: That can’t be right
Hunter: Maybe it’s like Coruscant. where there’s too many different species to have a main language
Tech: Nope
Tech: Only humans
Hunter:
Hunter: we need to show this to the others
Echo: 7000….languages…..
Hunter: Also we have two more
Hunter: “That Bloody Woman”
Echo: anakin
Echo: what
Hunter: and “The Book of Life”
Wrecker: Are those characters made of…wood?
Hunter: Looks like it.
Hunter: Alright, Anakin
Hunter: Let’s see what kind of Earth culture you’ve got for us
The Greatest Showman
Hunter: Oh cool, who made that giant heading thing?
Tech: Me
Tech: I’m sending it to the others so they can document their movies as well
Hunter: Great
Hunter: Ok, The Greatest Showman
Wrecker: oh look a song
Wrecker: guess that’s why they call them musicals
Echo: woah
Echo: Earth people do some weird tricks
Hunter: wait no go back where did all the colors go
Tech: I think that’s supposed to be him as a youngling
Echo: Are we sure this one isn’t supposed to be for the romance people too?
Wrecker: Are you all thinking what I’m thinking
Hunter: Earth people age really fast?
Echo: hunter that’s supposed to be sped up. they’re showing them getting older so they can get to the good stuff.
Hunter: oh
Tech: We should make one of those lanterns
Wrecker: that is exactly what i’m thinking
Hunter: Ok, so Earth people work jobs at desks like they do back home
Hunter: Except if they get fired, they make a weird museum!
Echo: Well now he’s doing something different
Wrecker: I bet we could work in a circus
Hunter: You probably could
Hunter: So could Din
Hunter: He could be Tin Can Man
Wrecker: These are some cool shows
Wrecker: Omega would’ve liked these
Hunter:
Hunter: too soon
Echo: Guys look, they have cantinas here too!
Echo: why are they dancing in the cantina
Hunter: I think it’s just because it’s a musical
Hunter: none of the government agents have started singing whenever we see them
Echo: Ohhhh, they have a Queen here too!
Tech: Didn’t Anakin say a president assigned them to stay in the compounds though?
Echo: oh
Echo: but…there’s a lady named queen victoria?
Echo: are you telling me they have more than one planetary leader too
Hunter: first languages, now this
Hunter: earth seems like an entire galaxy in one small planet
Wrecker: Oooh I like this song, what’s it called?
Hunter: Uhhhh
Hunter: “This Is Me”
Tech: I don’t get it, why don’t the parents like Anne?
Hunter: I dunno
Hunter: Maybe cause she’s in the circus???
Tech: But…they’re fine with their son being in the circus…
Echo: Are Anne and Phillip just Anakin and Padmé
Hunter:
Hunter: wait you’re right
Wrecker: Ooh another song
Wrecker: what’s a tightrope
Hunter: Probably just a really taught piece of rope
Wrecker: but why is she singing about walking on it
Echo: She kissed him????
Echo: Again, are we sure this isn’t a romance?
Hunter: Ooh a brawl
Hunter: Ok, so Earth people fight a lot
Hunter: Good to know, I can do that pretty well
Hunter: Not so much the singing
Echo: Oh look everything’s falling apart!
Echo: good to see that happens here too
Hunter: Ok that was a good ending
Tech: That was a very good ending
Wrecker: You know, I think I like Earth movies
Chapter 77: April Fool’s Shenanakins
Notes:
Happy April Fool’s day, y’all!
i most definitely did not consider making this a blank chapter as an april fool’s prank. not at all.
Chapter Text
Ahsoka has started a chat room
Ahsoka invited Fennec, Cara, Maul, Asajj
Ahsoka: I have discovered an important new piece of Earth Culture that must be shared with Anakin immediately
Asajj: then…share it…with anakin
Ahsoka: Let’s just say it’s not that simple
Fennec: So…what is this Earth Culture thing?
Ahsoka: It’s called April Fool’s Day
Maul: A day for fools?
Maul: I can see why you immediately thought of Anakin.
Cara:
Cara: well i can see why she chose to tell us first
Ahsoka: Basically, it’s a day where you have to prank as many people as possible!
Fennec: And you want us to… introduce this to Anakin?
Ahsoka: Yes, you could certainly say that
Asajj:
Asajj: who’s got sand?
Ahsoka: i knew i could count on you guys
Maul: eh
Maul: Just so you know, I’m very likely to backstab you in the middle of this
Ahsoka: Obviously
Ahsoka: Makes it more interesting for me
Fennec: How are we going to rig a sand trap in the middle of a movie?
Maul: …
Maul: We need a bucket
Cara: I just went to check, the door is slightly propped open
Fennec: How are we gonna get the sand bucket on top of the door without them noticing?
Asajj: Force stuff
Fennec: oh yeah levitation magic
Ahsoka: I GOT THE SAND
Cara: We’re on our way
Maul: i needed an excuse to stop watching that movie anyway
Asajj: same
Cara: It can’t be THAT bad
Maul: there’s something called “high school” and they go around singing a lot
Cara: high
Cara: school?
Asajj: THAT’S WHAT I SAID
Ahsoka: Guys help me pour the sand into Fennec’s bucket
Ahsoka: If I get any on the floor Anakin’s gonna kill me
Cara: what if
Cara: we left a trail of sand around his room
Asajj: Nah he shares with Padmé
Asajj: Do you really wanna mess with Padmé?
Cara: good point
Ahsoka: Bucket is ready
Ahsoka: Maul, Asajj… go levítate things
Maul: Why not you?
Ahsoka: Only I know the best way to summon Anakin
Asajj: Maul go left
Asajj: LEFT
Maul: THAT IS LEFT
Asajj: MAKE AN L WITH YOUR HANDS
Maul: WHY
Asajj: JUST DO IT
Maul: OK FINE
Asajj: NOW WHICH WAY IS THE L FACING THE RIGHT WAY
Maul: THIS HAND
Asajj: EXACTLY
Asajj: THAT'S YOUR LEFT
Maul: oh
Fennec: You’ve made it this far without knowing which side is the left?
Cara: did you think you were right-handed your whole life
Maul:
Maul: ASAJJ I’M LEFT-HANDED
Asajj:
Asajj: see sometimes i wonder how you got your legs chopped off by a teenage obi-wan
Asajj: but then there’s times like this where i completely understand
Ahsoka: please just put the bucket on the door before someone hears
Fennec: Mission accomplished
Cara: so how are you gonna get only anakin to come out?
Ahsoka: Watch and learn
Ahsoka invited Anakin
Ahsoka: SKYGUY
Anakin: AHSOKA I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT
Anakin: SKYGUY SKYGUY SKYGUY
Anakin: ALRIGHT THAT’S IT
Anakin: AHSOKA YOU BETTER GET OVER HERE RIGHTDJAKACKSNAMAKAOC
Cara: Now it’s a mission accomplished
Ahsoka: April Fool’s!
Chapter 78: Musicals (Pt. 2)
Notes:
Apologies for the shorter chapter! My keyboard broke down and things have been kind of hectic lately, next chapter will be back to normal length!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Singing Lovebirds
Hunter: Thanks Tech
Tech: Yep
Wrecker: And we’re sure this one doesn’t go in the romance category?
Echo: Well
Echo: We did kind of miss the first twenty minutes because Anakin was trying to murder Ahsoka for dumping sand on his head
Echo: So I’m not entirely sure what this one’s about
Hunter: did we break the movie
Wrecker: what?
Hunter: there’s no colors
Hunter: the last one had so many colors, where did they all go?
Echo:
Echo: Let’s just hope it’s supposed to be like that
Wrecker: ooooooh those umbrellas are nicer than ours
Tech: stop texting i wanna listen to the songs
Wrecker: This
Wrecker: This is basically a romance movie
Tech: but with music
Wrecker: Fair
Hunter: So people like to buy old relics and have dramatic love situations
Hunter: It’s like we never left home
Echo: I don’t know
Echo: At least these people can actually sing
Wrecker
Wrecker: i-
Tech: Well he’s not wrong.
Wrecker: hmm
Wrecker: i don’t like romance holos
Wrecker: but maybe romance movies are not bad
Hunter: Alright, so what did we learn from Singing Lovebirds?
Tech: Earth people are basically Obi-Wan and Anakin and Padmé
Tech: Same drama
Tech: Same weird romance problems
Tech: Same habits of buying useless things and thinking they’re a good purchase
Hunter: *cough* obi-wan *cough*
Echo: And they have cooler umbrellas than we do
Hunter: Excellent
Hunter: On to… Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham?
Notes:
Edit:
to the absolutely *lovely* people/bots who are leaving spam comments claiming i have written this with ai:
1. this fic started long before ai existed in the greater public, so i’m going to assume that means you think i’m a time traveler and am extremely flattered by this. now if you don’t mind, i’m going to travel back in time to go meet the dinosaurs.
2. bold of you to assume i know anything about using ai. i’m actually quite honored, considering i only recently found out how to loop youtube videos.
3. i am very amused that y’all think i’ve used multiple ai platforms to create a single chapter because i am way too lazy for that. i’m also starting to think you’re making these ai names up.May the force be with y’all!
Chapter 79: Musicals (Pt.3)
Notes:
Sorry I’ve been dead lately! Mandalorian s3 has left me with so many ideas, and things have been as chaotic as… *gestures vaguely at all these characters* On the bright side, this chapter is about the length of two, so you’re basically getting two for the price of one. Maybe that makes it worth the wait? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
not gonna lie, i only included this one as an excuse to blast the soundtrack while writing
(100/10 would recommend to you and everyone within a five kilometer radius of you. same goes for the actual movie. it’s long, but it’s also free on youtube, so…)
Chapter Text
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
Tech: Are we sure this one is a movie?
Hunter: It was on the list Anakin gave us
Tech: But…it just looks like those holovids families take?
Hunter: Trust me, it was on the list Anakin gave us
Echo: Are we considering the fact that Anakin is the one who made this list
Hunter: See look, it’s a sports movie
Wrecker: Didn’t the summary say it was a family movie?
Wrecker: Oh never mind, he’s talking about his parents now???
Echo: So people here enjoy sports too!
Hunter: why are the grandmothers arguing
Tech: Hunter just read the subtitles
Hunter: I CAN’T READ THAT FAST
Echo: So the grandmothers are married, right?
Wrecker: no???
Wrecker: they’re always fighting, why would you think that
Echo: I mean all the couples here fight all the time
Wrecker: ok yeah fair
Hunter: Wait I missed something
Hunter: Did we go back in time?
Tech: Yes, Hunter…
Tech: They’re telling Rohan about his brother
Hunter: He has a brother???
Tech: Yes..
Echo: To be fair, Rohan didn’t know either
Wrecker: oooh a celebration
Echo: Is this
Echo: did we get tricked into another romance movie
Echo: This Naina person seems a little too much like a romantic interest
Tech: wow that little kid is annoying
Wrecker: you just don’t like kids
Tech: i like omega??
Wrecker: but she’s impossible not to like
Hunter: Weird family
Hunter: Good to know some things never change
Echo: Wait, new characters?
Wrecker: MORE MUSIC
Hunter: Wrecker, they’re musicals
Wrecker: BUT THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD
Echo: My Earth-comm is dying, I’m gonna go find a charger
Tech: They’re called Phones here
Echo: well it’s still dying so
Hunter: Yeah mine’s getting low on power, I’m gonna turn it off
Hunter: This is a long movie anyway
*ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER (yes, this is a long movie)*
Echo: Why are the brothers staring at each other?
Hunter: Ok, so brothers are still weird on Earth too
Wrecker: I fell asleep, what happened?
Hunter: Rahul married Anjali and his father kicked them out and now the brother is trying to fix things
Wrecker:
Wrecker: and that took two hours?
Hunter: it was a wild ride
Echo: Hunter cried
Hunter: I DID NOT
Echo: HUNTER CRIED I SAW IT I WAS THERE
Hunter: I STARTED TEARING UP BECAUSE TECH KICKED ME IN THE STOMACH
Tech: It was an accident!
Echo: Also, the little sister from earlier grew up and now she’s very sassy
Echo: We’re betting on whether or not she’s flirting with Rohan
Echo: or just being… weird
Echo: Oh and she’s working with Rohan to fix the family
Wrecker: what’s going on now
Tech: They seem to be singing and falling in love
Wrecker: and this is…
Tech: Rohan and Pooja
Tech: The kid from earlier and the other kid from earlier, except as adults
Wrecker: …n-now what’s going on
Tech: i have…no idea
Wrecker: Hunter, do a google thing
Wrecker: what’s a prom?
Hunter: Google says it’s a dance thingy for kids in academy
Hunter: Apparently you go as a couple
Hunter: I think she’s trying to get Rohan to go with her
Wrecker: But aren’t they supposed to be fixing their family?
Echo: …there’s a reason it took us two hours to get to this point
Echo: Oh this looks like the nightclub Obi-Wan says Anakin dragged him into once
Tech: i’m sorry the what that what
Echo: You’ve never heard?
Echo: Actually, I’m not surprised
Echo: It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you
Hunter: so did anakin and obi-wan also flirt while singing and dancing or
Echo:
Echo: we can only imagine
Hunter: Wait why are they crying and calling the mother-in-law?
Tech: Google says that it’s a holiday where the mother-in-law gets the daughter-in-law gifts
Tech: She doesn’t actually know it’s her real mother-in-law
Hunter: wait that’s actually nice
Echo: Can you do a Google for why they’re fasting?
Tech: Google says it’s part of the holiday for women to fast for their husbands
Echo: But…they’re not married…
Tech: I believe this is what as known as foreshadowing
Wrecker: Ok, this is the new best song
Hunter: You say that every song
Wrecker: shhh
Hunter: WAIT THE PARENTS ARE THERE
Hunter: THE PARENTS SHOWED UP
Wrecker: What?
Hunter: THEY KICKED RAHUL AND ANJALI OUT AND NOW THEY’RE BACK 🥹
Echo: HUNTER’S CRYING AGAIN
Hunter: I AM NOT
Hunter: oh it was just a dream
Echo: wait really
Hunter: NOW ECHO’S CRYING
Echo: I—
Echo: yes i’m crying just look at that how do you not cry
Echo: look their mom is waiting for them at home too, look me in the eye and tell me you’re not crying at that
Hunter: ok yeah now i’m crying
Wrecker: Ok so now Daijann and Anjali know it’s Rohan?
Tech: Yeah
Echo: HUNTER’S CRYING AGAIN
Hunter: I’M FINE
Tech: You’re both crying
Tech: Oh look now Wrecker’s crying
Tech: the kids are just singing, why are you—
Wrecker: …
Tech: it was dust in my eye!
Wrecker: This scene is so happy, why am I crying
Hunter: earth humans
Hunter: earth humans are very good at emotions
Echo: OH NO ALL THE FAMILIES ARE COMING TOGETHER
Echo: ANAKIN DID NOT PREPARE US FOR THIS
Echo: I NEED TISSUES
Hunter: Speaking of Anakin, this story is very Skywalkers
Hunter: Rohan and Anjali weren’t supposed to be in love, and neither are Anakin and Padmé
Wrecker: Does this mean Obi-Wan is the father?
Tech: Who’s the brother?
Echo: Cody’s the mom
Hunter: I bet Luke and Leia are the brother
Echo: They’re his kids…
Hunter: yeah, but they’ve done more to get obi-wan to accept anakin and padmé being in a relationship than anyone else here
Hunter: except maybe the sequel kids, and that’s only because they’re so cynical that anakin and padmé being in a relationship is the least they have to worry about
Echo: At least this family hasn’t caused as much chaos as the Skywalkers…
Echo: oh wait no now the father knows, this can’t be good
Hunter: None of you are allowed to tell Anakin I cried this much
Tech: none of you are allowed to tell anakin i cried at all
Echo: nO NOT AGAIN
Echo: DOES THIS MOVIE HAVE NO LIMITS TO HOW SAD IT CAN GET
Wrecker: noooooo she was so funny
Wrecker: i was going to say we should make anakin watch this to get a taste of his own medicine but this crossed a line
Wrecker: it’s too sad, i can’t even force it on anakin
Hunter: FINALLY SOMETHING HAPPY
Tech: I don’t think I’ve ever smiled this much
Wrecker: I can confirm, you have not
Tech: I never want to watch this movie again but I want to watch it over and over
Echo: that
Echo: that was an excellent ending
Wrecker: that was better than excellent
Wrecker: …Let’s make Anakin watch it
Hunter: Do we give him tissues?
Echo: hmm…
Echo: nah
Chapter 80: Musicals (Pt. 4)
Notes:
A/N: For my mental health and so y’all don’t have to read through 30+ chapters of the movie thing, the rest of the categories will be 1-2 chapters of general reactions instead of 30 full, in-depth reactions.
also, this chapter is brought to you by the two guys i overheard talking the other day:
guy 1: what’s the worst possible way to die?
guy 2 (who knows as much about star wars as din djarin): being killed by your own kid!!
instantly reminded me of rise of chaos. thanks, random guys, for motivating me to write a new chapter of this.
Chapter Text
Echo: So… my Earth datapad is running out of battery.
Tech: Earth people call them phones, Echo.
Echo: Right.
Echo: it’s still running out of battery though.
Hunter: So is mine
Hunter: Let’s just go charge them and then watch the last two movies.
Hunter: I can write down the notes on flimsi for later and we can show Anakin
Tech: …
Hunter: what he’ll be fine with it
Tech:
Hunter: OH i did it again didn’t i?
Hunter: Earth people are weird, why would you call flimsi “paper”?
Hunter: It’s flimsy and feels like film, so call it flimsi.
Hunter: not…paper.
Echo: Yeah well Anakin says we should adapt to Earth customs if we’re going to be here a while
Hunter: Yes I know that but why should we adopt the stupid customs?
Echo: i don’t know hunter i think paper is stupid too
Echo: i’m just telling you what anakin said
Wrecker: …I’ll go charge the datapads
Wrecker: phones
Wrecker: i meant phones
Tech: …
Echo: Someone should tell Anakin we’re taking flimsi notes
Echo: but not me, i don’t feel like moving
Hunter:
Hunter: fine i’ll do it
Tech: I’ll start putting the movie on
*SOMETHING-OR-OTHER HOURS LATER*
Hunter: So… what did we learn?
Echo: Women… couldn’t vote???
Wrecker: Someone should make a second “That Bloody Woman” about Padmé in the Senate
Hunter: oh definitely
Hunter: Especially when she got the petition to pass
Tech: Well that was only one country
Tech: Countries here are the Earth equivalent of planets, correct?
Tech: The country in That Bloody Woman is probably the equivalent of that one odd planet who won’t let certain groups vote
Echo: …
Echo: I’m gonna google it
Hunter: we should tell jyn about this
Hunter: she would start a riot over not being able to vote
Tech: I… don’t think Jyn can legally vote in our galaxy because of her status as an intergalactic criminal
Hunter: oh yeah i forgot about that
Echo: oh
Wrecker: Oh what?
Wrecker: Is that a good oh or a bad oh?
Echo: well apparently a most places didn’t allow women to vote
Echo: but it also says things have mostly changed
Hunter: well that’s… better
Wrecker: Well I learned that Earth snakes are terrifying
Tech: The Book of Life was certainly an interesting movie
Echo: Hands down had the best music
Wrecker: No way, Greatest Showman’s music was much better
Tech: I found the music of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham to be quite… moving
Wrecker: you cried so hard
Tech: it was only a few tears
Wrecker: yeah but for you that’s like
Wrecker: a complete breakdown
Hunter: He has a point, you know
Hunter: And That Bloody Woman’s soundtrack was by far the best, if we’re arguing over those
Wrecker: RIP Singing Lovebirds
Hunter: It was good… I just spaced out for most of it
Echo: Well Book of Life taught me that Earth has puffer pigs except smaller, rounder, and pink
Echo: And I think the pig from Book of Life is officially my new favorite part of Earth
Hunter: Book of Life taught me that there is someone on this planet who sounds almost exactly like Cassian, except he can sing really really well
Wrecker: …
Wrecker: you know what that means?
Echo: The guy in the movie is a good singer?
Hunter: We should get Cassian to sing.
Wrecker: Absolutely.
Tech: I do not think he will respond to you trying to get him to sing
Hunter: Hmm, you’re right…
Echo: get jyn to do it
Wrecker: yES LET’S
Hunter: …
Hunter: After I turn in our notes to Anakin
Hunter: Anything else to add?
Tech: The people here do not seem to understand the Force
Tech: There were many different entities they believed in, though
Echo: They have these things called “guitars” and they play amazing music
Echo: they’re like halliksets but wider and less of a circle at the bottom
Wrecker: I think we’re all forgetting something very important about Book of Life
Hunter: They died and then came back to life?
Wrecker: no that happens in our galaxy too
Wrecker: The whole family fought giant Earth-reeks
Wrecker: and won
Hunter: Oh yeah, those
Hunter: What were they called?
Tech: Bulls.
Tech: The whole family fought bulls
Tech: Except for the one who sounded like Cassian
Wrecker: Yeah except for him
Hunter: This seems like a good amount of notes to share with the group.
Hunter: I wonder if Anakin will try to fight a bull after this
Echo: Knowing Anakin?
Echo: Definitely.
Chapter 81: Mysteries (Pt. 1)
Notes:
Part 1 of 2 of the Mystery Crew. Huge thanks to Polara-426 for recommending National Treasure, and to 19BBY for recommending Clue!
Chapter Text
Evaan has started a chat room
Evaan invited Luke
Evaan invited Leia
Evaan invited Han
Evaan: Mystery crew.
Evaan: We have been tasked with watching “National Treasure,” “Murder on the Orient Express,” “Knives Out,” and “Clue”
Leia: So…where did Anakin find all these movies?
Evaan: he just sent me four links and each one is one of the movies
Evaan: i don’t think we’re supposed to question where they’re coming from
Leia: …great.
Luke: Why did we agree to this again?
Han: We didn’t.
Han: I’m only here because you all are from my time.
Evaan: oh…right
Evaan: that
Leia: Let’s just watch each one and write down our Earth Culture observations after
Evaan: Works for me
Luke: Sure
Han: Yeah, I don’t care
Evaan: Great… let’s start with National Treasure
About 2 hours later
Leia: …
Leia: So can we all agree that leaving the Constitution out of our notes would be a good idea, since Anakin would probably also try to steal it?
Evaan: Oh, definitely.
Han: Earth people like stealing things just like people in our galaxy
Leia: Of course that’s the connection you would make
Luke: People steal important government documents here???
Leia: yeah no they did that back home too it just wasn’t as stupid
Evaan: At least they were stealing it to protect it
Evaan: People in our galaxy just… steal stuff
Han: Yeah
Leia: you would know
Han: Leave me alone!
Luke: …how are they in a relationship again?
Evaan: i’m starting to feel bad for their kid
Leia: Hey, hold on a minute
Leia: When did we ever decide it was my kid who’s going around murdering people?
Han: Yeah, I’ve been in plenty of relationships
Leia: hold on
Han: uh
Leia: …we’re going to be having a talk after this movie thing
Evaan:
Evaan: I feel somewhat to blame for this, but you know what?
Evaan: This is healthy. This is a good thing. You know?
Luke: …
Evaan: leave me alone i need to be delusional right now
Evaan: Ok, let’s get this back on track
Evaan: Earth people also have something called the Freemasons, except none of them are named Mason, so…
Luke: Yeah, that was disappointing.
Leia: What’s next?
Evaan: It’s called, uh… Murder on the Orient Express
Luke: Well it’s not a mystery if we know that someone is gonna be murdered…
Leia: Luke… the mystery is who murdered them
Han:
Han: i relate to this movie more than i should
2 hours later
Leia: That… that was a movie
Evaan: why did the one lady
Evaan: why did she look like rey
Leia: i mean…
Leia: no, rey doesn’t even know what a hairbrush is.
Leia: i see the similarities, but there are too many differences.
Luke: I dunno, I kinda see it.
Han: i think you’re all focusing on the wrong thing
Han: …why did they decide to murder a guy on a train???
Evaan: would you rather they murdered him somewhere else
Han: Good point
Luke: I liked this one
Luke: Earth mysteries are pretty cool
Evaan: Ok, so we’ve learned that Earth mysteries are cool, people here are really good at keeping secrets, don’t ride a train, and people don’t like doctors?
Han: They don’t like doctors?
Evaan: I don’t know, some people were rude to the doctor
Han: Oh yeah, maybe they don’t like doctors.
Leia: Well that’s stupid.
Leia: Don’t forget to add “Don’t mess with detectives”
Evaan: Got it
Evaan: On to the next movie?
Luke: Sure
Evaan: Time for… “Knives Out”
Evaan: what was that noise
Leia: Well
Leia: It sounded like someone just got stabbed
Evaan:
Evaan: i manifested a murder
Evaan: we are nOT WATCHING THE REST OF THESE MOVIES
Han: Relax, I just went to check
Han: Ahsoka and a bunch of other people dumped a bucket of sand on Anakin
Evaan: oh
Evaan: On to Knives Out, then!
Chapter 82: Mysteries (Pt. 2)
Chapter Text
Luke: At least now I understand why it’s called Knives Out
Evaan: …what just happened
Leia: i don’t even know
Leia: but that
Leia: that was a good movie
Evaan: Yep!
Luke: Wait
Luke: So who killed the Harlan guy?
Leia: …
Luke: What?
Leia: the one who got arrested at the end
Luke: But… wasn’t the one who got arrested at the end…
Leia: Yes
Luke: Then how…
Leia:
Leia: I’ll tell you later
Evaan: not to be that person again
Leia: Evaan, the last time you said something like this we started fighting
Evaan: It’s healthy for people in a relationship to disagree!
Evaan: except when it’s you two apparently
Evaan: then it’s just mildly destructive
Luke: Only mildly?
Evaan: Shhhh
Evaan: anyways, not to be that person again…
Leia: Quick, somebody steal her phone—
Evaan: but this movie kind of reminded me of the skywalker family
Leia:
Leia: the door is that way, evaan.
Leia: now use it.
Evaan: Hey, I’m just making an evidence-based observation
Luke: I can see it a little?
Luke: We don’t have that much drama tho
Evaan:
Evaan: this is the part where all the future kids would start looking at each other
Leia: I really don’t want to think about that
Han: You guys have plenty of drama even without the future kids
Leia: Han you’re 90% of the drama
Han: That’s not true!
Luke: remember that time you chased a bunch of stormtroopers and more stormtroopers came and we all almost died
Han:
Leia: the time you almost got us eaten by a space slug
Han:
Evaan: three words
Evaan: battle of yavin.
Han:
Han: wait luke and leia have to take some credit for the battle of yavin
Luke: Yeah true
Han: The other times…
Han: give me five minutes to think of an excuse
Evaan: Nope!
Evaan: Time to watch Clue
About 1 hour and 40 minutes later
Evaan: Wait, I’m confused
Han: hi confused
Han: i’m han
Evaan: …
Evaan: now i really feel bad for your kid
Leia: Ok, wait, Evaan’s right
Han: Hey!
Leia: Not about that
Leia: I’m just…not getting involved in that mess
Leia: I am also confused about the movie ending
Leia: Endings???
Luke: Endings
Luke: I’m just confused about why all their names were colors
Evaan: Oh those were fake names
Han: so do all earth mystery movies involve murder or
Luke: National Treasure didn’t
Evaan: National Treasure was more of a puzzle solving movie than a mystery solving movie
Han: at least nobody died
Leia: han’s just being sensitive after the guy in murder on the orient express got stabbed 👀
Han: …
Han: Not you guys too
Han: You’re supposed to support me when the future kids do the thing where they all look at each other
Evaan: Jokes on you, I already know who your kid is
Evaan: Pretty sure most of the people in the compounds have also figured it out
Evaan: Anyways, movie. Ending.
Luke: Endings.
Evaan: Yeah, that
Leia: So… there were three endings?
Luke: I bet it was the first one, cause why would they show the real one in the middle or last
Evaan: True, they probably wouldn’t put the real ending in the middle
Leia: Or would they?
Leia: It could be a trick
Evaan: ugh you’re right
Han: The last one was the most chaotic
Han: So far Earth has been very chaotic
Han: So the last one is probably true
Leia: that
Leia: that might be the most logical thing i’ve heard anyone in this room say since we started
Evaan: It was definitely the wildest
Evaan: And Orient Express and Knives Out both had wild endings
Evaan: So it’s probably that one
Leia: Hmm I still think it’s the second one cause it’s right in the middle of the other two
Leia: It’s trying too hard to be perfectly average, which is suspicious
Leia: Like the guy in Knives Out
Luke: I still think it’s the first and the other two are just there to make it more interesting
Evaan: Anything else we need to write down to show the group?
Luke: …People on Earth dress weird?
Leia: They also blackmail each other, which happens in our galaxy too
Leia: Except we use different blackmail material
Evaan: well obviously not everyone is gonna have the same scandals
Evaan: but yeah i’ll write that down
Han: People on Earth apparently think it’s a good idea to go to a strange person’s house alone at night even though there’s a bunch of movies showing exactly why that’s a bad idea?
Evaan: …yeah, for people who go around solving mysteries, these mystery movie characters aren’t very smart
Chapter 83: Horror (Pt. 1)
Notes:
Thanks to Polara-426 for recommending Predator and Alien for this!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
Poe has started a chat room
Poe invited Future Kids
Rose: Oh, so we’re going to embrace that nickname then?
Finn: Do we really have a choice?
Rose: good point
Poe: We’re supposed to watch… Scream, Black Swan, Alien, and Predator
Jannah: those are all such short titles why do they all sound so threatening
Jannah: if the titles are tiny the movies should be nice and sweet
Rey: well if i came up behind you and whispered scream in your ear it would be pretty threatening
Jannah: obviously
Rey: they’re just creepy words
Armitage: Am I allowed to ask why Rey’s coming up behind Jannah and whispering scream in her ear?
Zorii: Must be a Jedi thing
Armitage: Yea that checks out
Poe: We’re starting with Scream just because of this conversation
Jannah: wait but didn’t we just agree it sounded super threatening…
Kaydel: I guess we did get Horror as our category
About 2 hours later
Poe: I almost don’t want to ask
Poe: But what did we learn about Earth culture from that movie?
Rose:
Zorii: i am never sleeping again
Ben: I mean that seems a bit extreme…
Zorii: i am not sleeping until we leave this planet.
Ben: That’s a bit more reasonable
Armitage: I think we learned not to let Jannah watch horror movies because she screamed after the first two people died and now refuses to leave the closet
Poe: that’s nice but has nothing to do with earth culture
Poe: someone is working on getting her out of the closet right
Nimi: Kind of?
Rey: I think Poe shouldn’t be allowed to have the remote because if he keeps pausing the movie every time there’s an action scene and laughing at the blurry screen I’m locking him in the closet with Jannah
Mitaka: Don’t tell me you’re actually enjoying this
Rey: eh
Rey: it’s fine
Mitaka:
Poe: Guys we need to write something down or Anakin is gonna be mad
Poe: And they’re gonna ban the future kids from talking again
Zorii: Good point I want to keep talking
Finn: Never pick up the phone if you don’t know who’s calling because it might be a murderer
Poe: Got it. anyone else?
Kaydel: Earth has a lot of murder?
Poe: …sure, why not?
Armitage: I think Rose fell asleep
Poe: That has literally nothing to do with Earth
Poe: oh wait you’re right she is asleep
Zorii: how…
Rey: Earth people like being scared because apparently there’s 6 of these Sceam movies
Finn: that
Finn: that’s concerning
Rey: yep!
Poe: Maybe we should move on to Alien before this gets any more out of hand
Another 2 hours later
Kaydel: Space movie!
Armitage: that was certainly a movie that happened in space.
Zorii: i want to trade groups
Zorii: do you think padmé would let me watch family movies while she does this
Finn: the alien…just…exploded out of the guys chest…
Zorii: i don’t wanna talk about it
Rey: Well Earth people probably have access to some kind of space travel cause they were traveling in space
Rey: They also have droids I guess? Except the droids can pass as human.
Rey: Cyborgs???
Mitaka: how is she so casual about this
Jannah: Maybe it’s a Jedi thing
Finn: oh i forgot you were here
Jannah: i’m still in the closet
Jannah: except i can still hear the movie so it’s not really working
Ben: this… this is definitely not a jedi thing
Kaydel: jannah you should come watch with us, it’s not as scary
Jannah:
Jannah: are we forgetting the fact that two people died in the first ten minutes of the other movie
Kaydel: yea but me and zorii and nimi and rose are all huddled together so it’s a little less terrifying
Jannah:
Nimi: ok technically rose is asleep and we’re hiding our faces in her jacket during the scary parts but still
Jannah: fine. but i better not regret this.
Nimi: Oh if we’re still taking notes then I guess Earth people also not as good at space travel as us cause they have to go into stasis to fly to other planets and we have lightspeed so we don’t have to do that
Mitaka: they’re also bad at naming ships because who names their ship the “nostromo”
Nimi: yea that too
Armitage: We’re forgetting the most important thing
Armitage: Earth people have cats
Kaydel: OH YEA
Rey: The most important part of the movie, honestly
Ben: do you think anakin would let you get another cat
Ben: just so we could have a pet in the compounds
Rey: We could name it Jones!
Armitage: Are you suggesting we replace Millicent?
Armitage: are you suggesting millicent can be replaced
Ben: no that’s not what i meant
Ben: why have one cat when you can have two
Armitage:
Zorii: Hey, the logic is sound
Notes:
If anyone has any romance movie recommendations, especially ones with actors who have been in Star Wars, I would greatly appreciate them! (I’m not really a romance person so I have no idea where to start with that category 😅)
Chapter 84: Horror (Pt. 2)
Chapter Text
Poe: Take a vote guys
Poe: Raise your hand if you want to watch Black Swan next
Poe: well that seems pretty unanimous
Kaydel: that sounds slightly less threatening than the others
Jannah: still horror tho…
Kaydel: but look it’s got birds on it, that can’t be scary
Kaydel: birds are nice
Rey: Not porgs
Rey: Porgs are little terrors
Rose: They’re so sweet!
Zorii: oh hey you’re awake
Rose: yep
Zorii: …can we keep using you as a pillow?
Rose: can i stop you?
Zorii: Excellent point.
Armitage: The lady on the front kind of looks like Padmé
Finn: Ohh, is this the actress Padmé’s coworker told her she looked like a long time ago?
Armitage: Oh yea it is
Armitage: See, it’s Padmé’s secret twin!
Armitage: How can a movie with Padmé’s twin be scary?
About 2 hours later
Armitage: i take back what i said
Jannah: i
Jannah: i need to go hug padmé
Finn: tell her it’s from all of us
Kaydel: Rey was right
Kaydel: Birds are terrors
Nimi: Earth people have nice dances but not nice people who dance them
Mitaka: that about sums it up
Rey: Earth people also have a crippling fear of not being enough for the people around them and being easily replaceable!
Poe:
Poe: i feel like that’s something we should definitely discuss at some point but ok i’ll add it to the list
Ben: Earth people will also use each other to get what they want and let themselves be used but at the end of the day realize it only hurt themselves
Poe:
Poe: guys this is why people don’t let us talk
Zorii: Earth people also have fancy dances?
Poe: that’s more like it
Zorii: except they call it ballet and we call it
Zorii: uh
Zorii: idk i was never into that stuff
Kaydel: pretty sure we also call it ballet on some worlds
Zorii: oh then we both have ballet
Jannah: hey guys i’m back
Jannah: padmé said thanks for the hug
Jannah: she was very confused
Armitage: Well you did randomly walk into the room, give her a hug, and then leave
Jannah: it’s fine i told her it was important
Finn: It was very important
Finn: We don’t want Padmé turning into a bird and all that
Rose: Guys do we have to watch the last movie?
Rose: I mean… it’s literally called Predator
Rose: i don’t like that
Armitage: You’ve slept through every other movie already and you’ll probably do the same for this one
Rose: And?
Armitage: why do you care if we watch it or not???
Rose: eh
Rose: I might stay awake this time
Rose: I was just trying to make up for the sleep I lost because my roommates were up all night
Poe: Oh well in that case sleep all you want
Poe: We do have to watch the movie tho cause Anakin will definitely know if we don’t
Slightly less than 2 hours later
Rey: Earth people have forests!!!
Armitage: That’s your only takeaway? Really?
Rey: yep
Mitaka: Scientifically speaking, it was more of a jungle than a forest
Rey: trees :)
Zorii: All I’m getting from these movies is that we’re lucky to still be alive
Zorii: This planet is more dangerous than it looks
Finn: Maybe that’s why we’re at Area 51
Finn: Because the thing in the movie tried to kill them all
Finn: So they don’t trust the uhhh… what did they call it
Rose: Aliens?
Finn: Yea they don’t trust aliens
Poe: that actually makes a lot of sense
Poe: i just thought they put us here cause they knew letting fennec and cara and anakin into the public would be a bad idea
Finn: Well that’s probably part of it too
Zorii: Earth people also have lots of interesting weapons
Poe: you’re not allowed to have any of those weapons
Zorii: you’re no fun
Zorii: Cara gets weapons!
Poe: Cara is an uncontrollable force of chaos
Poe: I’m not messing with her
Rey: Wait does this mean we’re done
Poe: Oh yea that’s all we were supposed to watch
Rey: Great I’m gonna go make a sandwich
Poe: nEVER MIND REY GET BACK HERE
Jannah: oh no
Poe: Someone please stop her, I have to convince Zorii not to build Earth weapons
Rose: Is it really possible to stop her from making another horrifying sandwich?
Rose: that wasn’t me volunteering by the way, i’m taking a nap
Mitaka: good idea
Mitaka: maybe if we ignore the problem it’ll go away
Zorii: That never works
Mitaka: Proof?
Zorii: why do you think din tries to hide in his room all day?
Zorii: But we’re obviously all still here, so…
Zorii: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chapter 85: Bonus: May the 4th
Notes:
It lives! Sort of. Here’s to trying to continue this story once again now that I’ll have a bit more free time to write.
May the Fourth Be With You!
Chapter Text
Anakin: guys
Anakin: it’s may 4th
Fennec: Congratulations, you can read a calendar
Anakin: fennec no you don’t understand
Anakin: it’s the 4th of may
Asajj: This seems like a useless conversation
Poe: Is it your birthday or something?
Anakin: No
Anakin: Guys
Anakin: May the fourth.
Asajj: Anakin, you do know that repeating a date in different ways is not helpful in the slightest?
Anakin: Just think about it!
Fennec: nope
Fennec: too tired
Zorii: Then sleep?
Fennec: nope
Fennec: too tired
Zorii:
Anakin: May the Fourth, guys
Anakin: Today is literally telling us May the Force be with you!
Poe: …
Poe: nah that seems like a stretch
Anakin: You don’t see it at all? May the Fourth be with you?
Fennec: i can see it but i don’t want to
Asajj: How was I supposed to know that?
Asajj: That’s a Jedi thing
Obi-Wan: Just more proof that the Jedi are better than you
Zorii: Oh
Zorii: This is not Obi-Wan awake time
Fennec: Yeah Obi-Wan go back to sleep
Obi-Wan: Gladly
Asajj: Why do you guys get a day and we don’t ☹️
Asajj: I want a Sith day
Poe: May 5th
Poe: May…Sith?
Asajj:
Fennec: im starting to understand why we don’t let future kids talk
Asajj: wait i kind of like it
Asajj: Revenge of the Sith/Fifth
Asajj: Because you Jedi wouldn’t give us a day 😒
Poe: See, future kids can be useful!
Zorii: wheb we feel like it
Anakin: you can be useful but you can’t spell
Zorii: shhhhhh im tired
Fennec: no excuses, zorii
Din: Guys, for Force’s sakes
Din: It’s 2am, go to sleep
Din has left the chat
Anakin:
Anakin: Guess the Fourth wasn’t with him
Chapter 86: I See Dead People!
Notes:
I’m going to be honest, I physically cannot continue with the movie storyline. It’s been a year and even trying to write a few lines of it just saps my will to create. I’m sorry if anyone was invested in it in any way, and I might add a couple bonus episodes now and then with the various movie groups, but it was just ruining my will to continue writing this story.
This chapter is going to start maybe a week or two later, and credit for the idea goes to the wonderful 19BBY for coming up with a fun way to introduce this character :)
Chapter Text
Ben: Hey guys
Ben: We have a problem
Din: what else is new
Cassian: I’ve got a bad feeling about this
Jyn: that’s your anxiety speaking
Cassian:
Jyn: Am I wrong?
Cassian: i’m not sure, actually
Ben: Guys seriously
Ben: There’s a new ghost in the compounds
Din:
Din: Of course!
Din: Of course there’s ghosts.
Din: Because why not?
Din: Not like my life can go any further off the rails.
Fennec: He’s snapped
Fennec: He’s finally snapped
Din: I am getting close!
Ahsoka: Is it at least a nice ghost?
Armitage: do nice ghosts usually dress in black armor and stare ominously at you from the corner of the room?
Ahsoka: Oh you can see it too?
Armitage: Is that bad?
Armitage: It feels bad. I don’t like the way he’s staring at me.
Ben: He seems familiar and I don’t think that’s a good thing
Rey: Familiar how?
Ahsoka: Hold on I want to see this ghost too
Ahsoka: You guys always get to do interesting things while I’m at work, I’m not missing out on this
Rey: Well I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before
Cara: Did you guys try talking to him?
Armitage: Can you talk to ghosts?
Ben: yes
Ben: and unfortunately they can talk to you as well
Rey: i’m gonna be honest, he looks more like some weird nightmare creation than an actual person
Ben: oh
Ben: that’s where i’ve seen him
Ahsoka: Your nightmares???
Ben: yeah…
Ahsoka: Well that’s just great.
Fennec: Hold up I wanna see the nightmare fuel ghost
Obi-Wan: You’re not force-sensitive, you can’t see ghosts
Armitage: Then how can I see the ghost?
Din: this doesn’t sound good
Jyn: Let’s go see the ghost!
Cassian: let’s not
Jyn: Let’s!
Rey: guys how many people are we trying to fit into this room
Obi-Wan: Where are you?
Ben: closet
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: why?
Ben: play sabaac
Obi-Wan: That’s… surprisingly innocent for a future kid
Rey: what did you think we were doing, summoning demons?
Din: Let’s just say that none of us would be surprised if that’s what you were actually doing
Armitage: Hey, neither would we
Ahsoka: hey guys bad news
Ahsoka: the future kids weren’t exaggerating, we have a problem
Din: Oh no
Ahsoka: That’s not just a ghost
Ahsoka: That’s the ghost of Darth Vader.
Chapter 87: A Wild Darth Vader Appears!
Chapter Text
Anakin:
Anakin: So who’s Darth Vader?
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: i don’t get paid enough for this
Armitage: THIS is the guy we built a government to copy?
Rey: he’s taller than i expected
Armitage: you’re just short
Rey: :(
Rey: Well at least I have self-respect
Armitage: You’re dating Ben, you clearly don’t
Ben: i
Ben: do i get a say in this or
Ahsoka: Guys stop arguing and help me deal with this ghost
Ahsoka: You’re future kids, you know why we need to deal with this quickly
Rey: True
Jyn: Can we see the ghost?
Ahsoka: Sure
Cassian: Oh he’s tall
Rey: See! It’s not just me!
Armitage: You’re still short
Cassian: Have you tried talking to him?
Ben: What are we even supposed to say?
Rey: He’s your family, you should talk to him
Cassian: I think I would know if I was related to… that
Rey: no not you
Ahsoka: you
Ahsoka: you’re related to darth vader???
Ben: Yeah??
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: Darth Vader had KIDS???
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: DARTH VADER’S KIDS HAD KIDS???
Ben: well kid singular but yes
Obi-Wan: Can you please explain to those of us who aren’t from the future who Darth Vader is?
Jyn: Technically we’re not from the future, you’re just from the past
Din: Please not this argument again
Leia: Did somebody say Darth Vader?
Din: Oh hey Leia
Din: oh
Din: oh that’s a knife
Leia: Where did you guys say he was?
Jyn: Are we going to kill a ghost?
Cassian: i don’t think that’s how it works…
Leia: We’re killing a ghost.
Cassian: he’s…already dead…
Leia: Get out of the way, Cassian.
Cassian: yes ma’am
Armitage: I think we should try talking to it before stabbing it but that’s just my personal opinion
Leia: Well you’re entitled to that opinion
Leia: And I’m entitled to murdering this ghost.
Armitage:
Armitage: would it be unprofessional to say she’s kind of my hero
Ben: Yeah???
Rey: Come to the light side ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rey: We’ve got the better Skywalkers
Ben:
Ben: did you just
Ahsoka: Maybe we all need to be a little more levelheaded about this
Cassian: I agree with you, but if that’s your way of saying we need to take the knife from Leia then I will not be doing that
Cassian: Unlike most of the people in this closet, I value my life
Jyn: oh really
Cassian: oh no
Jyn: Where was this sense of self-preservation when we were ABOUT TO EXPLODE ON SCARIF
Leia: Ahsoka, kindly step aside so I can stab this ghost
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: yeah ok sure, how bad can it be?
Ahsoka: it’s a ghost
Ahsoka: she can’t actually stab him
Ahsoka: …right?
Chapter 88: The Ghost of Darth Vader (Probably)
Chapter Text
Rey: So do you think he’s actually a ghost?
Din: I’m not sure I like what that’s implying
Rey: I’m just saying, it could also be a really messed up vision
Ben: Or a force projection
Obi-Wan: Or Anakin dressed up in a costume trying to bother us
Armitage:
Ahsoka:
Din:
Rey: what does he know
Obi-Wan: What did I do???
Armitage: he’s too dangerous to be kept alive
Obi-Wan: Ahsoka what did I do???
Ahsoka: …He’s too dangerous to be kept alive
Obi-Wan: AHSOKA
Ahsoka: Sorry Obi-Wan you know too much
Rey: We uh
Rey: We probably should figure out what the ghost actually is though
Ahsoka: Oh right
Ahsoka: jyn give it your phone
Jyn: don’t wanna
Ahsoka: you misunderstand
Ahsoka: that was not a request young lady.
Jyn: I am going to give him my phone now
Ahsoka: Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Jyn changed their name to Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: WHAT IS HAPPENING
Ahsoka: YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE TELLING US
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: Well I refuse to continue speaking until you change my name to something more respectable.
Armitage:
Armitage: this is an out of body experience
Rey: Well for him, yeah
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: Excuse me?
Armitage: …i should’ve seen that one coming
Rey: oh come on, are we just supposed to ignore the fact that he’s a ghost?
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: It’s rather rude, actually
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: But yeah, thanks for reminding me that I can’t hold a corporeal form. I would have never remembered if it weren’t for you mentioning it very loudly and obviously.
Armitage: well
Armitage: turning to the dark side sure made him salty
Ahsoka: At least we know he’s actually a ghost
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: …
Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost: Actually no, I expect this from you Ahsoka.
Din: You two know each other?
Ahsoka: …I’m honestly surprised you know who Darth Vader is
Din: He’s Luke’s dad, right?
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: yeah sure that’s close enough
Ahsoka renamed Darth Vader’s Probably-a-Ghost to Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: ok ahsoka
Chapter 89: Anakin, meet… uh, Evil Anakin
Chapter Text
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: So which one of you summoned me here?
Cassian:
Din:
Ahsoka:
Ben: why are you all looking at me
Rey: Who else would summon Darth Vader??
Leia:
Leia: you .
Ahsoka: maybe we should take that knife from her
Leia: WHAT DID YOU DO
Ben: I DON’T KNOW
Ahsoka: this seems like a good time to meditate
Cassian: Why would you—
Ahsoka: don’t wanna deal with this
Cassian: Ah
Armitage: Technically we were playing sabaac the whole time so it would’ve been pretty hard for Ben to summon Darth Vader
Ben: Thank you!
Ben: I don’t even know how to summon people
Ben: Usually they just decide to appear and I have no say in it
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I don’t even know who that is
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: It definitely wasn’t him
Ben: that’s slightly hurtful but thank you
Cassian: Well no one from our time would willingly summon him
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I don’t know who he is either
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I know Ahsoka and the princess
Armitage: Princess?
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost, You know, the one with the knife
Armitage: …She’s a princess???
Armitage: And I’m just learning this now??
Rey: honestly even i knew that
Leia: Doesn’t Asajj know how to summon ghosts?
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: Asajj Ventress? Didn’t she die years ago?
Ahsoka: Uh
Ahsoka: Someone go make sure she doesn’t see that
Ahsoka: Thanks Jyn
Anakin: If someone’s leaving the closet does that mean there’s enough room for me to join?
Ahsoka: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Anakin: hmm
Anakin: Sorry Ahsoka can’t hear you my phone is glitching, did you say absolutely?
Ahsoka: IT’S A TEXT YOU DON’T NEED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR ME TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS
Ahsoka: he’s not responding
Ahsoka: why is he not responding
Din: I tried to stop him Ahsoka, I really did
Ahsoka: oh no
Ahsoka: VADER IF YOU SAY A SINGLE THING
Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost: I might be bribed to stay quiet if someone changes my name back to normal
Ahsoka: …
Ahsoka: it’s a necessary sacrifice.
Ahsoka renamed Darth Vader’s Actual Ghost to Vader
Vader: Thank you
Anakin: I HAVE ARRIVED oh this guy is not what i was expecting
Anakin: You guys said he would be scary!
Vader: Excuse me???
Vader: I’ve made children cry before
Anakin: So has Obi-Wan you’re not special
Obi-Wan: WE AGREED NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT ANAKIN
Anakin: SORRY
Anakin: Why does your chest light up
Anakin: Can I press the buttons
Vader: let’s just say that would not end well
Rey: of all the skywalker drama i’ve experienced in the past year this is definitely the weirdest
Armitage: Are we not going to talk about the force projection Luke Skywalker?
Rey: i wasn’t really there that doesn’t count
Ben: Rey you literally died because our grandparents wouldn’t settle their drama
Rey:
Rey: i wasn’t really there that doesn’t count
Armitage: unfortunately a valid argument
Ben: No???
Cassian: So… should we try to stop Anakin and Vader from talking?
Ben: I mean
Ben: What’s the worst that could happen?
Anakin: Hey, what are your opinions on younglings?
Vader:
Vader: well
Ben: Never mind Leia get the knife
Chapter 90: Leia Takes Charge
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Leia: ASAJJ WE NEED YOUR EXORCISM POWERS
Leia: also if you could just
Leia: not scroll up to the part where vader talks about you dying that would be wonderful
Asajj:
Asajj: WHAT
Cassian: We have a ghost
Cassian: The ghost is Darth Vader
Cassian: Anakin is talking to the ghost
Asajj: ok so what
Leia: oh you’re from the past past
Leia: i’m going to private message you something that you absolutely cannot tell anyone
Asajj: …Sure why not
Leia: Sent
Asajj:
Asajj: well i can honestly say i did not see that one coming
Asajj: Am I alive for this?
Leia: Don’t think so
Asajj: As long as I don’t have to deal with it
Asajj: But uh you can’t exorcize a force ghost since it’s not really possessing anything
Leia: So we just have to put up with him?
Asajj: We could always kick him out
Vader: I can hear you, you know
Asajj: yeah i don’t really care though
Asajj: you can’t hurt me you’re a ghost
Ben: that actually isn’t true
Armitage: Yeah he could probably roast you if he wanted
Armitage: psychological damage
Ben: …sure. we’ll go with that.
Leia: yeah it makes sense that vader is the one doing the roasting
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: did she just
Leia: Oh sorry did I interrupt your meditation
Ahsoka: yeah but i kinda want to stick around now
Vader: I want you all to know that I found that very offensive
Leia: listen, if you can’t take the heat that’s your problem
Vader: …
Rey: i think i can die happy now
Ben: i think it’s a little late for that
Armitage: i think you two need to stop referencing your deaths like anakin references memes
Leia: I actually have a few burning questions for you, Vader
Leia: Did you smoke? You know, back in he day?
Vader:
Leia: I’d apologize for burning the bridge between us but that was kind of your thing
Ahsoka: i’ve never seen her this full of glee
Ahsoka: she really is anakin’s child
Vader: She’s WHAT
Ahsoka: oops
Cassian: Should we… stop her?
Leia: No I’m on a hot streak
Armitage:
Armitage: she’s on fire
Notes:
the only thing i regret about this chapter is not finding more terrible puns.
Chapter 91: The Devil’s Advocate (and other things to call your significant other)
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Rey: So do you just live here now?
Vader: I hope not
Din: Yeah that would be helpful if you didn’t move in, it’s getting a bit crowded in here
Din: even if you are a ghost
Anakin: Does that mean he technically wouldn’t take up any space?
Vader:
Armitage: bet you’re wishing force ghosts could use the force right now
Vader: don’t test me.
Ahsoka: I think Leia’s already done that enough for all of us
Ahsoka: But, you know, Anakin’s always managed to exceed expectations
Vader: When I said “I hate myself” I never meant it like this
Rey: It’s okay
Rey: No matter how much you hate yourself, just remember
Vader: oh she’s nice i like her
Rey: Leia will always hate you more.
Vader:
Vader: i take that back
Leia: At least she’s honest!
Rey: Thanks!
Rey: I try to only lie to myself!
Leia:
Leia: yeah ok now i remember why i don’t associate with future kids
Ben: What about that time you lied to yourself so hard about your bloodline that you internalized the lie and started lying to everyone else about it too
Rey: why do you have a counter example for everything
Ben: no?
Armitage: No no wait
Armitage: She makes a good point
Armitage: Why are you always the devil’s advocate?
Ben: I mean I wouldn’t say always—
Rey: Failed at being the devil, settled for the next best thing
Armitage: Yeah that checks out
Ben:
Ben: you know we’re dating right
Rey: yeah
Ben: and we’re in love and all
Rey: yeah
Ben: so don’t you think that maybe being nice to each other would be a part of that
Rey:
Rey: but you’re so easy to make fun of
Vader: Those two? Really?
Armitage: None of us understand it but yes
Armitage: The Force was involved in a way that not even the Force using people here understand
Ben: We don’t even understand it
Vader: …
Rey: I feel like you’re doing a lot of judging for a ghost
Leia: A deadbeat ghost, nonetheless
Anakin: Who may or may not be taking up the already cramped space in our compounds, depending on your definition of space
Din: So is anyone here actually on Vader’s side or are we all just making fun of him?
Armitage: Idk ask the devil’s advocate
Ben: leave me alone this is too many attacks coming from too many directions
Cassian: You probably should’ve thought of that one before doing the devil’s advocate thing
Ben: Really? You too???
Cassian: I need a reason to stay in this room and attacking you was the one that required the least effort
Ahsoka: Well now that you’ve done that you need a new reason, so could you maybe search up how to get rid of a ghost?
Cassian: Sure, why not
Notes:
So…should I do a chapter/section based on that new Star Wars Lego series once this bit is over…?
Chapter 92: What to do when the Chosen One won’t leave your house
Chapter Text
Vader: So you’re just going to send me back to the ghost realm now?
Ahsoka: I mean what else are we supposed to do
Vader: I’m actually not sure
Vader: This is unprecedented
Ahsoka: You think???
Ahsoka: Half the people here want to stab you, the other half wants to make fun of you
Ahsoka: And then there’s Anakin
Anakin: Hi
Anakin: What did I do now?
Anakin: Usually I know what I did whenever I cause chaos but this just seems to be Happening
Ahsoka: just trust me when i say you being in this room is causing more chaos than you can imagine
Anakin: I don’t know, I can imagine a lot
Ahsoka: I am well aware of that!
Ahsoka: Both fortunately and unfortunately
Cassian: The internet says we need to talk to the ghost
Leia: ugh
Cassian: We have to acknowledge the ghost, ask it if it knows it’s dead, and then open the windows and cleanse the space to give it room to leave
Anakin: Is there a way of getting the ghost to leave that doesn’t involve cleaning my room?
Armitage: Hey Vader’s ghost, do you know you’re dead?
Vader:
Vader: i don’t like those three
Rey: it’s okay, nobody else likes us either
Armitage: i don’t even like these two
Rey:
Rey: you what
Armitage: I said what I said.
Ahsoka: If we open the windows will you leave?
Vader: Why should I leave?
Ahsoka: Scare people idk
Ahsoka: You won’t have to deal with your family from the future any more
Vader: …tempting
Anakin: But you can still visit if you want!
Din: no
Anakin: ☹️
Din: Just no
Ahsoka: Actually
Ahsoka: The Jedi Council is on this planet too
Obi-Wan: ahsoka what are you doing
Ahsoka: You should go make yourself their problem!
Obi-Wan: ahsoka
Ahsoka: I’m sure Master Windu would be happy to see you
Vader:
Vader: Let’s just say the two of us didn’t exactly part on good terms
Ahsoka: Then you’ll annoy him even more than you usually do
Vader: …it could be fun
Vader: Apparently part of the whole Force Ghost thing is making amends, so I was gonna have to talk to him eventually
Ahsoka: Perfect timing!
Ahsoka: Now shoo.
Vader: you don’t have to be so mean about it snips…
Cassian: Oh so he just
Cassian: Passed through a wall
Ben: They do that a lot
Ben: You get used to it
Cassian: I really hope I don’t, actually
Obi-Wan: And that just… worked?
Ahsoka: I’m sure he’ll be back eventually. But that’s a future Ahsoka problem
Chapter 93: Fun with an Alien Brick
Notes:
Thank you to the wonderful GhostGuest for giving me an excuse to write this Rebuild the Galaxy-inspired storyline!
Chapter Text
Fennec: HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT
Anakin: WHAT
Din: oh no
Din: What?
Fennec: Melinda came by and gave us some weird alien tech they found while they were cleaning out their base
Fennec: She said they couldn’t find a use for it but we could probably use it to do something stupid and funny
Quinlan: The perfect gift
Anakin: Don’t be shy Fennec, share the weird alien tech with us
Fennec: I’m getting to that
Fennec: Aren’t Jedi supposed to be patient?
Obi-Wan: that’s what i’ve been saying
Quinlan: Oh is that one of the rules we’re actually supposed to follow?
Obi-Wan: You
Obi-Wan: You’re supposed to follow all of them, Quinlan.
Quinlan: ok but does anyone really follow the no falling in love one
Obi-Wan: Everyone except you and Anakin
Anakin: what about satine
Quinlan: Yeah Obi-Wan what about Satine
Obi-Wan: Satine was… a lapse in judgment
Zorii: It’s ok, we like those!
Zorii: pretty sure that’s how i was born actually
Poe: that
Poe: ok then
Fennec:
Fennec: So who wants to see this glowy blue alien thing!
Anakin: ME
Asajj: So what does it do?
Fennec: I dunno
Fennec: It’s just a glowy block
Padmé: Are we sure you should be playing with it
Fennec: Probably not
Poe: Melinda wouldn’t give us alien tech that could be dangerous, right?
Fennec:
Din:
Padmé:
Poe: Right. Walter.
Luke: Hey! Walter was a good boy!
Poe: i wouldn’t call eating feet a good boy
Zorii: depends on what you’re into
Poe:
Poe: You’re the reason future kids have a daily texting limit.
Zorii: oh come on it’s not like anyone actually enforces it
Cara: Padmé is paying me to enforce it
Zorii: im gonna shut up now
Din: You’re getting paid???
Padmé: she gets to keep the weapons she spawns out of thin air if she enforces it
Padmé: I’ll regret it later, but at least it fixes the immediate problem of the future kids
Fennec: So what should we do with the glowing blue brick?
Maul: Well now that you mention it
Maul: There is still a hole in the wall you “fixed” and it’s letting in the cold
Maul: You could do something productive and plug it
Anakin: Does that mean I can have my recorder back!
Maul: As long as it doesn’t let in more cold air
Anakin: Not if we plug it with the alien brick
Din: Sure, jam the alien brick into the wall
Din: What could go wrong
Anakin: Exactly!
Din: that was sarcasm.
Anakin: It’ll be fine
Anakin: See?
Rey: uh
Rey: guys
Rey: is this part of my dream or is the floor shaking
Din: Anakin…
Maul: oh no
Padmé: ANAKIN TAKE THE BRICK OUT
Anakin: I CAN’T IT’S STUCK
Quinlan: Well it’s been nice knowing you guys!
Quinlan: Most of you
Chapter 94: Rise and Shine!
Notes:
Filing this chapter away under “symptoms of sleep deprivation”
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Rise and shine everyone!
Darth Obi-Wan: it is entirely too early to be rising or shining
Din: At least the floor isn’t shaking anymore
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: the what what
Din: The floor started shaking??? Literally 2 seconds ago???
Din: hold up why are we rising and shining, it’s mid afternoon
Anakin: It’s morning, actually.
Din: oh finally someone with a normal name
Anakin: What?
Din: Obi-Wan and Maul changed their names for some reason
Anakin: But… that’s how they’ve always been.
Din:
Din: oh are you guys pulling a prank on me again
Anakin: Why would we ever prank you?
Poe: Yeah, you’re our friend!
Darth Obi-Wan: I don’t have friends.
Din:
Din: listen i expect this from the future kids but not from you
Darth Obi-Wan: wha
Poe: Hey, what’s wrong with us???
Din: You know what you did.
Padmé: Yeah, we like the future kids!
Poe: See, even Padmé likes us
Poe: Actually that’s probably not the best support but whatever
Din: i feel like she’d be the most trustworthy person to vouch for you but ok
Zorii: Padmé? Trustworthy?
Padmé: Hey, I can be trustworthy!
Padmé: It’s been 3 days since I’ve broken anything important
Darth Rey: does that include bones?
Padmé: This time!
Darth Rey:
Darth Rey: well at least i know it runs in the family now
Ben: Hey!
Din: wha
Din: what even
Din: Why are you not wearing black???
Ben: What?
Din: And why are you wearing black???
Darth Rey: is this not how i always dress
Din: No???
Din: Unless you’re borrowing clothes from Ben
Darth Rey:
Darth Rey: Me? Sharing with HIM?
Anakin: Din do you need to sit down for a minute?
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Maybe we kept him awake too late last night when we were doing karaoke
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Are you sleep deprived?
Din: Yes but that’s an entirely different issue
Din: Why are all of you… weird?
Din: Why are Obi-Wan and Rey emo and why is Anakin wearing a suit and why is Padmé breaking bones and why are Zorii and Poe getting along
Din: and why the FORCE is maul wearing a pink feather boa???
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Just because Mandalorians can’t appreciate fashion doesn’t mean I can’t!
Zorii: It’s almost like…we’re dating…
Anakin: I have to go to work in like five minutes
Anakin: Though maybe I should stay home today, because you clearly aren’t feeling well
Padmé: Hey, I didn’t break any bones this time!
Darth Obi-Wan: this time.
Din:
Din: This only gives me even more questions.
Notes:
Some things are consistent with the Rebuild the Galaxy series… and some of them I had some fun with. Requests for any “FlippedVerse” character personalities are always welcome :)
Chapter 95: Din Through the Looking Glass
Chapter Text
Poe: So you’re telling me
Poe: I’m supposed to have a boyfriend???
Zorii: but
Zorii: we’ve been dating since we were like 17
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Yeah Din I think you need some sleep
Poe: You know it’s bad when Maul has to tell you that
Poe: I’m convinced he hasn’t slept in a week
Zorii: But he has all that energy…
Din: yeah that’s concerning
Din: This is the most energy I’ve ever seen you have
Anakin: Din, I really do think something’s wrong.
Anakin: Maul’s always like that.
Din: well in the normal universe maul would be skulking in the corner and making sarcastic comments, not prancing around in a feather boa
Anakin: I don’t know how to break this to you but
Anakin: This is the normal universe
Ben: Maybe one of the darksiders was messing with him
Darth Rey: Why are you looking at me???
Ben: I don’t know, why do you think?
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: I mean it could’ve been Obi-Wan
Anakin: Nah
Anakin: Remember the last time obi-wan tried to mindtrick someone?
Darth Obi-Wan: We don’t need to bring that up.
Padmé: On the bright side, we all learned a valuable lesson about what happens when a mindtrick backfires!
Padmé: plus the explosions were cool
Poe: Well we definitely all gained a new understanding of the word “backfire”
Poe: And why Padmé isn’t allowed around fire
Din: Oh for Force’s sakes
Din: Where’s Ahsoka
Din: She can sort this all out
Anakin: You
Anakin: You think Snips can sort things out?
Din: oh no
Din: Don’t tell me this universe made Ahsoka weird too
Anakin: I mean
Anakin: I guess you could call her weird?
Din: what
Din: what does that mean anakin
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: That seems a bit rude
Darth Rey: yeah even i draw the line at insulting ahsoka
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵:
Anakin:
Padmé:
Darth Rey: mostly.
Din: Anakin
Din: What does that mean
Din: Why is Ahsoka “I guess” weird
Anakin: Well
Anakin: You know…
Anakin: What else would you expect from a 14 year old?
Chapter 96: Retracing the Steps
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Din: of course
Din: of Course ahsoka’s a teenager
Din: Of Course the only competent force user here is 14.
Padmé: What about Anakin?
Din:
Din: don’t make me go there.
Ahsoka: You called?
Din: Yeah but I didn’t want… this to be the answer
Ahsoka: oh alright
Anakin: For Force’s sakes Din she’s a teenager
Anakin: She already has a bad enough self image, don’t make it worse
Darth Obi-Wan: yeah din
Anakin: Don’t even start Obi-Wan.
Ahsoka: Yeah Anakin said I’m not allowed to talk to you after the spinach incident
Darth Obi-Wan:
Darth Obi-Wan: you couldn’t at least ban her from talking to me for something i did intentionally?
Anakin: I still think it was intentional
Darth Obi-Wan: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WOULD CATCH FIRE IN THE MICROWAVE
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: The more important question was why did you want to put microwaved spinach in mac n cheese
Darth Obi-Wan: I wouldn’t expect you to understand
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN
Darth Obi-Wan: It’s for true dark siders…
Darth Obi-Wan: Not dark siders who look like they just entered a fashion contest
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: (He’s just mad because he doesn’t look this fabulous 🤭)
Din: this is so messed up
Din: Okay, we can fix this. Where’s that glowing blue block?
Anakin: What glowing blue block?
Din: The one from Melinda that you tried to put in the wall
Anakin: We haven’t seen Melinda since she gave us Walter???
Din: Ok
Din: So that means the glowing blue thing has to be at her base
Din: We just need to find that, and then do… whatever it is you did last time
Din: Skywalker cursed it or whatever
Darth Rey: “Skywalker curse” sounds about right
Poe:
Poe: Listen, I’m a light sider and everything
Poe: But even I can’t argue with that
Ben: wow thanks
Din: ugh
Din: I never thought I’d say this, but…
Din: WHO WANTS TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP

Apologies for the mostly transitional chapter— hopefully this horribly edited photo of Feather Boa Maul makes it up to you: https://i.postimg.cc/sDJTQT1t/76-A2370-D-2-BCD-4-D96-992-C-33-BA18518-EAC.jpg
Chapter 97: How (not) to teach your Padawan how to drive
Notes:
It wasn’t my intention for them to end up in the same place this Halloween as they did last Halloween but uh… here we are, so happy Halloween to anyone who celebrates!
Chapter Text
Anakin: I think maybe I should come along just to make sure Din is okay
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: I think we’ve passed that point but sure
Poe: yeah you don’t have to pretend you’re not coming with us to make sure padmé doesn’t do anything stupid
Padmé: I can look after myself!
Anakin: padmé i love you but no
Din: Please all of you just get in the bus before I lose my mind
Zorii: So who’s driving?
Darth Obi-Wan: If you’re asking because you want to drive, no
Zorii: :(
Darth Obi-Wan: The last time we let you drive, Poe yelled “ZORII, DEER”
Zorii: And?
Darth Obi-Wan: And then you said “Yes, honey?”
Zorii:
Zorii: in my defense
Darth Obi-Wan: No.
Ahsoka: I can drive!
Anakin: That sounds like a bad idea
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: You did promise to do more master-apprentice bonding now that you have the time
Anakin:
Anakin: You know which one’s the gas and which is the brake, right?
Ahsoka: I think so!
Anakin: Great start kid
Anakin: Floor it.
Ahsoka: :D
Din: I’m regretting this already
Darth Rey: aren’t we all
Ben: Stop acting like this is my fault
Ben: You chose to sit here
Darth Rey: Oh so it’s not your fault that no one wanted to sit next to you to the point where this was the last seat available?
Ben: oh alright
Din:
Din: Yeah no Ahsoka floor it
Ahsoka: :D :D :D
Anakin: No texting while driving
Anakin: And if it sounds like something Padmé would do, don’t do it!
Padmé: Hey now
Padmé: Just because I’m the only one here without a license doesn’t mean you all can look down on me
Darth Obi-Wan: no but we can do it because you’re short
Padmé: 😦
Ahsoka: You guys have seatbelts on right?
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: This thing has seatbelts?
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: You’ll be fine, probably
Anakin: That’s the spirit
some time later
Ahsoka: How do you park?
Anakin: oh boy
Padmé: This street is empty enough
Padmé: Just leave it here, it probably won’t bother anyone
Anakin: padmé no
Anakin: stop being a bad influence on our child
Padmé: It’s fine she’s not even legally ours
Anakin: But she’s emotionally ours!
Padmé: Well she needs at least one bad influence in her life
Anakin: That’s what Obi-Wan’s for
Darth Obi-Wan:
Darth Obi-Wan: As much as I want to disagree with you just to disagree with you
Darth Obi-Wan: It would be an honor to be Ahsoka’s bad influence
Darth Obi-Wan: The dark side is always recruiting Ahsoka!
Ahsoka: No
Ahsoka: Anakin says you’re weird and creepy and you keep pet spiders in your room :(
Darth Obi-Wan: that’s
Darth Obi-Wan: ok anakin
Anakin: Was I wrong?
Darth Obi-Wan: Mostly
Poe: I KNEW IT
Poe: I KNEW YOU WERE KEEPING SPIDERS
Darth Obi-Wan: I SAID MOSTLY
Zorii: ok but who else would be the cause of all those spiders in the vents
Darth Obi-Wan:
Darth Obi-Wan: Padmé?
Padmé: I don’t like spiders
Ben: guys people are staring out the window at us
Ben: we should probably get out of the bus
Chapter 98: Din’s Guide to Scientifically Investigating Alien Technology
Chapter Text
Ahsoka: I CALL RINGING THE DOORBELL
Poe: OKAY
Darth Obi-Wan:
Darth Obi-Wan: what if i…
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: I’m not losing Ahsoka privileges bc you gave all the dark siders a bad rep
Anakin: It’s ok Maul I trust you with my adoptive child
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Thank you 😇
Darth Obi-Wan: Oh, but *I’m* the one giving dark siders a bad rep
Din added Melinda
Din: Listen
Din: There’s been a terrible mistake
Melinda:
Din: Please tell me you’re normal
Melinda: I’d like to think so
Din: Close enough
Din: There’s a glowing blue brick somewhere in your base and you gave it to Anakin and he touched it and everything turned weird
Din: And I need the brick thing to go back to normal
Melinda:
Melinda: Let me get Daisy
Melinda: I need a drink before dealing with this
Din: I don’t blame you
Melinda invited Daisy
Daisy: Hey!
Melinda: That glowing blue thing
Melinda: Din thinks it messed with the fabric of time and space
Daisy: Oh ok I’ll go grab it
Din: NO
Din: let’s maybe
Din: not touch it
Din: Anakin touching it is what caused all this
Melinda: Well Skywalkers always mess things up
Melinda: Daisy is the least problematic person in her family
Daisy: Aww that sounded dangerously close to a compliment
Melinda: sure
Daisy: Ok, I got the thing
Daisy: What do we do now?
Din: Yeah uh
Din: I have no idea
Din: This is weird Jedi magic
Poe: Listen I still think Din is experiencing weird hallucinations but
Poe: If he says Anakin touching it caused all this why don’t we just make him touch it again?
Zorii:
Padmé:
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵:
Darth Obi-Wan: That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard
Darth Rey: You should do it anyway
Daisy: Exactly!
Daisy: I’m with her
Darth Rey: Thanks
Darth Rey:
Darth Rey: cool name
Daisy: Thanks!
Daisy: Anyways whichever one of you is Anakin needs to touch this thing
Anakin: Uh
Anakin: …if it makes Din less stressed, then fine
Anakin:
Din:
Anakin: So is this what happened last time?
Din: Well the floor isn’t shaking so
Din: Not really, no
Darth Obi-Wan: Told you it was a dumb idea
Poe: Well I don’t see you having any better ones
Darth Obi-Wan: Well
Darth Obi-Wan: uh
Darth Obi-Wan: When Anakin was supposedly touching this thing last time, was he doing anything else with it?
Din: Well he was trying to shove it into the wall you guys broke
Darth Obi-Wan:
Darth Obi-Wan: So maybe it’s pressure activated and not Anakin activated?
Zorii: Anakin
Zorii: Throw the brick
Melinda: I should probably remind you that this is a government compound filled with expensive and delicate equipment
Melinda: But anyways, throw the brick
Chapter 99: also known as the number of problems din currently has
Chapter Text
Melinda: Alright
Melinda: We’ve tried throwing it, stomping on it, driving over it, throwing it against the wall several times, subjecting it to extreme high and low temperatures, blowing it up, using the Force on it, and the kid tried to eat it
Ahsoka: Hey!
Ahsoka: I’m 14!
Melinda: That does not help your case
Melinda: …So what do we do now?
Padmé: idk but i think it would be funny if ahsoka tried to bite it again
Anakin: You’re sure it was me touching it that made everything start shaking?
Anakin: I mean you know how Rose is with explosives
Din:
Din: I don’t actually, but it was definitely you touching it
Din: And Maul said something about fixing the hole in the wall that was letting in cold air
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Well that does sound like something I would do
Din: And then you tried to jam it into the wall and everything started shaking and I ended up here
Melinda: Into…the wall…?
Anakin: Yeah it’s that wall that Padmé broke when she was trying to bake cookies at a million degrees
Din: i don’t remember that being padmé—
Padmé: Nobody warned me that the oven would explode!
Poe: I’m 99% sure we did but we’ll take a rain check on that one
Padmé: Well you didn’t warn me loud enough
Darth Obi-Wan: No, I imagine our warnings weren’t loud enough to be heard over the screams of fear coming from everyone else
Ben: actually i think ahsoka was just screaming to scream
Ahsoka: That’s because I was
Daisy: Born to be a cicada, forced to be a teenager 😔
Daisy: I know how you feel
Ben:
Ben: what
Melinda: Wait
Melinda: What all did you guys use to fix this wall?
Din: uh
Din: weapons, mostly
Din: some random clothing items people left unattended
Din: i think there was a chicken nugget
Din: some angsty poetry that gets worse every time i read it
Din: oh and some of morai’s feathers
Melinda: Morai?
Anakin: Ahsoka’s Force bird
Anakin: Well not Ahsoka’s but it just started following her around one day and we haven’t really been able to get rid of it since
Anakin: We think she’s a personification of the Force
Ahsoka: I don’t think the Force would let me feed it cheese crackers
Zorii: Is THAT where all the cheese went???
Ahsoka:
Ahsoka: maybe.
Melinda: I’m having a thought
Daisy: oh good one of us here needed to
Melinda: Mystical Force bird
Anakin: Yes
Melinda: Mystical glowing brick
Din: I would say annoying over mystical, but yes
Melinda: Is it possible that they came into contact?
Din:
Din: Are you thinking what I’m thinking
Melinda: I’m thinking two Force-charged items came into contact and caused everything to be flipped
Din: ok so that’s not what i was thinking but close enough
Anakin: So… we need to go back to the base and make them come into contact again?
Melinda: eh
Melinda: Your guess is good as mine 🤷🏻♀️
Chapter 100: Adventures in Force Science
Notes:
We’ve made it to 100 chapters! And with *hides the repaired wall* minimal property damage or injury!
May everyone reading this have better luck than Din and as much amusement as Melinda
Chapter Text
Anakin: I think you’re getting better at this!
Poe: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Darth Rey: don’t be mean to the child, poe
Poe: I’M ALLOWED TO BE MEAN TO THE CHILD IF SHE’S GOING TO GET US KILLED
Anakin: She’s doing great
Anakin: She just needs positive reinforcement instead of everyone screaming that we’re going to die
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Don’t you dare kill us Ahsoka
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: The library just hired me to read books to the kids
Padmé: Didn’t they also say they liked your costume?
Padmé: When you were just wearing your normal clothes?
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: we don’t talk about that
Padmé: Ahsoka sweetie make sure to use the right turn signal if you’re going to turn, ok?
Poe: this
Poe: this isn’t even the road anymore
Poe: she’s driving us ACROSS THE ROAD
Poe: IS NOBODY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
Padmé:
Padmé: Nah
Melinda: This is even more entertaining than when I tried teaching Daisy how to pilot
Daisy: I’ll have you know that I’m a great pilot
Anakin: Ease up on the brakes Snips
Darth Obi-Wan: Yeah, you can always just stop the bus with the Force
Anakin: obi-wan no
Darth Obi-Wan: Just because the Jedi Code says you shouldn’t casually use the Force doesn’t mean you can’t do it
Darth Obi-Wan: It’s a lifesaving maneuver which means Jedi are allowed to do it
Ahsoka: Thanks Obi-Wan!
Anakin: why would you teach her that
Zorii: Oh good I can see the compounds
Zorii: We’re almost free
Anakin: Alright, everybody out!
Anakin: Let’s help Din stop stressing
Din: thank you
Din: actually your normal self is only going to stress me out even more
Din: but it’s the thought that counts
Anakin: Whatever you say!
Anakin: guys im getting really worried about din
Zorii: i think he snapped
Din: I can still read your messages even if you make them lowercase…
Melinda: Alright, where’s the feather wall?
Ben: Turn left at the pile of shoes
Melinda: why is there a
Melinda: Never mind I don’t want to know
Darth Rey: well there’s a lot of us and only a small amount of room for shoes so… shoe pile
Daisy: What about the people whose shoes are on the bottom?
Darth Rey: What about them.
Daisy: Understood
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: What I don’t understand is how mine always end up on the bottom even though I go out more than half of you
Melinda: Oh this is… definitely a wall
Padmé: Yep!
Daisy: Huh, it looks worse in person
Padmé: We made it ourselves
Darth Obi-Wan: Found the feathers
Melinda: Anakin, you’ve got the blue thing?
Anakin: Yeah
Melinda: Ready?
Anakin: Ready
Melinda: 3… 2… 1…
Melinda: Now!
Anakin:
Anakin: i don’t think it did anyth
Darth Rey: WHY IS THE FLOOR SHAKING
Ben: oh this is like my nightmares all over again alright
Darth Rey: those are my nightmares idiot
Darth Rey: you’re just the one who keeps forgetting to close the kriffing force bond when you sleep
Din: Ok this is good
Anakin: Last time those two had a full on fight we almost lost our electricity for a week
Din: Oh not that
Din: The floor started shaking last time too
𝓜𝓪𝓾𝓵: Have you considered the possibility that the “last time” was actually an earthquake and you got hit with the debris and forgot all your normal memories?
Din: Can’t say I have
Melinda: Well, it seems to be getting stronger
Melinda: See you on the other side
Melinda: Whatever side that may be
Chapter 101: The Rise of Din’s Blood Pressure
Notes:
aaaand we’re back in the normal universe! well. as normal as these guys get.
never thought i’d have to say this, but accidental light chemistry bashing? anyways, you’ve been warned and all.
Chapter Text
about 24 hours earlier
Fennec: So what should we do with the glowing blue brick?
Maul: Well now that you mention it
Maul: There is still a hole in the wall you “fixed” and it’s letting in the cold
Din: hold up
Maul: You could do something productive and plug it
Anakin: Does that mean I can have my recorder back!
Din: i remember this conversation
Maul: As long as it doesn’t let in more cold air
Anakin: Not if we plug it with the alien brick
Din: WAIT
Din: EVERYBODY FREEZE
Cara: What is this, a cop show?
Din: ANAKIN
Din: PUT THE ALIEN BRICK DOWN
Anakin: ok ok calm down din
Din: NO
Din: DO N O T PUT THAT THING IN THE WALL
Asajj:
Asajj: din are you ok
Din: NO
Din: I JUST HAD THE WORST 24 HOURS OF MY LIFE
Din: which is saying something
Din: ALL BECAUSE OF THAT BRICK
Din: WE ARE NOT PLAYING WITH THE BRICK
Anakin:
Anakin: even i don’t wanna mess with him
Fennec: We’ve reached new lows
Asajj: And so has Din, apparently
Din: Put. The alien brick. Down.
Fennec: oh no Parent Voice
Anakin: yes sir
Din: SLOWLY
Din: DON’T LET IT TOUCH ANYTHING
Anakin: WHAT ABOUT THE FLOOR
Din:
Din: yeah that should be fine
Cara: do
Cara: do you think din actually thinks we’re in a cop show?
Fennec: I wouldn’t put it past him
Fennec: Maybe he’s finally lost it
Anakin: Well how do we find it?
Anakin: Because I’m not sure if I like paranoid cop show Din
Din: Guys I know we aren’t in a cop show
Din: Just trust me when I tell you something very, very bad will happen if you shove that brick into that wall
Anakin: hmmmm
Anakin: How bad?
Din: You become a responsible, well-adjusted adult
Anakin: oh so BAD bad
Din: And Poe and Zorii become…
Anakin: Chemists? Our new bus drivers? Also well-adjusted?
Poe: I’d like to think I’m already well adjusted but ok
Din: Worse than all of those.
Din: Straight.
Poe:
Poe: Anakin don’t you dare touch that brick.
Fennec: Think Melinda will give us a refund?
Maul: You paid her in the first place?
Fennec: Oh good point
Fennec: So should I call Melinda to come pick this thing up?
Maul: Guess so
Maul: Quick, before Officer Din has a breakdown
Din:
Din: i can’t even say it’s good to be home, can i?

Chapter Text
Jyn has started a chatroom
Jyn invited People I Barely Tolerate
Jyn invited Cassian
Jyn invited Padmé
Padmé: I’m honored
Maul: I’m not
Jyn: Listen up
Anakin: Oh she means business
Anakin: I don’t think I can help with that
Jyn: I’m having a rare compassionate moment and I’m starting to realize Din has been under a lot of stress recently
Fennec: When is he not?
Fennec: I don’t think the man’s had a full night of sleep since he was seven
Fennec: And he doesn’t even have the excuse of weird Jedi visions
Jyn: Exactly
Jyn: Which is why I think we need to give him a day off
Cassian:
Cassian: I knew there was a nice part of you in there somewhere
Jyn: Don’t test me
Quinlan: Yeah or you’ll have to join the rest of us commoners on the People I Barely Tolerate list
Cassian: You wouldn’t go that far
Cassian: would you
Jyn: I don’t know, would I?
Cassian: 😦
Jyn: Back to the plan
Jyn: We’re all going to have to make sacrifices
Asajj: It’s not going to be animals this time, right?
Asajj: i hate animal sacrifices.
Jyn: wh
Jyn: No???
Jyn: We just need to all agree not to cause chaos for maybe
Jyn: 24 hours???
Anakin:
Anakin: i think i’ll take the animal sacrifices, thanks
Maul: It’s for Din
Maul: besides i think he’s on the verge of a mental breakdown
Maul: you saw how he was about that weird brick
Anakin: …True
Cara: I hate to say it, but Jyn’s right
Jyn: Thank you!
Jyn: wait
Cara: We can go a day without chaos
Cara: How hard can it be?
Padmé: I’m so proud of all of you for showing maturity
Padmé: But I’m still afraid to find out the answer to that question
Fennec: Everyone’s in agreement then?
Poe: On behalf of all the future kids, yes
Anakin: I’m in, but only because it’s Din.
Maul: The darksiders are in
Hunter: The Bad Batch will do it
Hunter: Not that we were a problem to begin with
Quinlan: Ig I’ll agree for all the Jedi?
Cara: Might as well agree for all the rebels
Fennec: Great
Fennec: Let’s go tell Din
Notes:
Wishing everyone reading this a wonderful new year and enjoyable celebrations to all who are waiting until midnight to ring it in! See you all in 2025!
Chapter 103: Din’s Day Off (Pt. 2)
Notes:
Aaaaand it’s 2025! Here’s to a nice, nonchaotic start to the new year.
for now.
Chapter Text
Din: You guys are going to What
Cara: It’s for your mental health!
Cara: Padmé says that’s important
Anakin: You clearly need it
Din: You’re really going to not cause any chaos for a whole day?
Jyn: We’ll even let you sleep through the night!
Zorii: isn’t din rooming next to anakin and padmé
Jyn: Oh right
Jyn: Never mind!
Padmé:
Padmé: oh alright then
Fennec: Anyways
Fennec: You can have a full day of lying on the couch and questioning your life!
Fennec: And we won’t bother you at all!
Din: You’re sure about this??
Padmé: Everyone’s taken a no chaos vow
Padmé: Besides, I can handle these guys on my own for one day
Din: i really don’t think you want to test that
Padmé: i really don’t
Padmé: But I don’t have to! Because everyone is going to follow the no chaos vow.
Padmé: That is a threat.
Poe: yes ma’am 🫡
Din: So I can just
Din: Go???
Din: And lie on the couch???
Din: And sleep peacefully???
Cara: Yep!
Cara: Have fun buckethead
Din: this feels like a fever dream
Din: but then again so did the other universe
Anakin:
Anakin: Maybe he really does need to sleep for a full day
Fennec: Ok now go
Fennec: I don’t think I can make it longer than 24 hours and you’re wasting time
Din: …love you too fennec
Jyn: Okay, Din’s gone
Jyn: Now what do normal people do to pass time?
Asajj: Board games?
Maul: Too violent
Evaan: Baking?
Asajj: Are you forgetting the Great Cookie Fire of Several Weeks Ago?
Evaan: oh right
Hunter: We could clean the compounds?
Cassian: I don’t trust anyone with a vacuum
Cassian:
Cassian: and after walter, i don’t trust vacuums either
Anakin: ugh
Anakin: This is gonna get boring really fast, isn’t it?
Chapter 104: How to Not Cause Chaos
Chapter Text
Padmé: Alright, I’ve got an idea
Evaan: Does it involve mac n cheese?
Cara: Or explosives?
Ezra: Or karaoke?
Padmé: None of those, actually
Padmé: It does involve that huge pile of cardboard boxes Ahsoka brought home from work though
Cara: sounds boring
Padmé: That sounds very small-minded of you, Cara
Cara:
Cara: You know usually people just guilt trip me with my crimes or something
Cara: You really didn’t have to choose something so effective
Padmé: Politics 🤗
Padmé: Anyways, I have a challenge for all of you
Padmé: Whoever can built the best cardboard fort WITHOUT CAUSING ANY CHAOS gets…
Padmé: Hmmm
Padmé: Gets first choice next group movie night
Ezra:
Zorii:
Maul:
Anakin:
Fennec:
Fennec: oh, you’re so on
Poe: FUTURE KIDS UNITE
Armitage: have we just accepted being called the children of the group now
Fennec: I WANT CARA ON MY TEAM
Maul: KEEEENOBIIIIII
Obi-Wan: what
Maul: you’re on my team
Maul: you’re the only one here who understands the importance of the lego batman movie
Anakin: Quinlan. Asajj. You, me, and Legally Blonde when we win.
Quinlan: aw hell yeah
Padmé: REMEMBER
Padmé: NO CHAOS OR YOU’LL BE ELIMINATED
Cara: like with a gun, or
Padmé: *NO CHAOS OR YOU’LL BE DISQUALIFIED
Cara: ah
Cara: I’d hoped it would be the gun option
Din: I hear screaming
Din: Should I be worried?
Padmé: I have everything under control
Padmé: Go back to your day off
Din: Oh alright thanks Padmé
Padmé: Yep
Padmé: ALRIGHT EVERYONE TO THE BASEMENT
Padmé: And if someone could help me carry these cardboard boxes that would be great
Rey: I’ve got it!
Quinlan: Hey, no sucking up to the judge. before the competition starts!
Padmé: It’s not sucking up if she’s one of the few people here who actually listens to me on a regular basis
Asajj: Hey, am I on that list?
Padmé: What do you think.
Asajj: yeah no i thought not
Padmé: Quinlan and Ezra usually are though
Ezra: 😏
Leia: ezra no that emoji doesn’t mean what you think it means
Leia: Also are there any teams who still need people?
Fennec: We’re just gonna be a duo
Maul: ONLY lego batman truthers are allowed on our team
Leia: Hmm
Leia: Are we that desperate yet?
Han: no.
Luke: No thanks
Hunter: We’d let you in, but there’s already 5 of us and 8 might be a tight fit
Poe: You can join Finn and Rey and I, but only if you agree to let us pick Shark Tale
Ben: are you serious
Ben: you ditched me over shark tale
Rey: they needed another person
Armitage: Well so do we!
Armitage: You seriously gave up The Lion King for Shark Tale?
Rey: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finn: Stop trying to poach our teammate, Padmé never said no weapons
Padmé: I did say no chaos though!
Finn: ah. then i will very calmly and respectfully threaten you with a lightsaber.
Leia: You two need more people right?
Leia: Can Luke and Han and I join your team?
Ben:
Armitage: ABSOLUTELY
Ben: do you hate me
Armitage: yes actually
Armitage: but i happen to like the lion king more than i hate you, so here we are
Padmé: Alright, raise your hand if your team is ready
Padmé: great
Padmé: Let the Cardboard Fort Challenge BEGIN!
Chapter 105: The Cardboard Box Fort Challenge
Chapter Text
Obi-Wan: wh
Obi-Wan: why do you have a couch?
Maul: It’s important
Obi-Wan: It’s also not made of cardboard
Maul: Well Padmé didn’t say the inside of our base had to be made with cardboard
Padmé:
Padmé: New rule!
Maul: ☹️
Padmé: Forts can be made with cardboard and duct tape ONLY
Maul: Well then what am I supposed to do with this couch?
Fennec: That’s not exactly Padmé’s problem, is it?
Maul:
Maul: Keep building, Kenobi
Maul: I must deposit this couch… elsewhere
Din: WHAT WAS THAT CRASH
Maul: um
Padmé: NOTHING
Jyn: YEAH GO BACK TO SLEEP DIN
Din: ARE YOU SURE
Jyn: TOTALLY
Jyn: ok seriously what was that crash
Maul: Well it was definitely not me dropping the couch down a flight of stairs
Padmé:
Maul: ACCIDENTALLY
Padmé: Accidentally doesn’t unshatter our couch???
Maul: oh no she’s disappointed in me
Obi-Wan: It’s never fun
Maul: Like you would know
Poe: so
Poe: we should probably stop watching this and work on our fort
Finn: it’s entertaining though
Poe: come on finn
Poe: think about shark tale
Poe: Besides I don’t think Rey understands how structural integrity works
Rey: I made a house out of an AT-AT, I think I’m capable of understanding how to make a house out of a few cardboard boxes
Finn: rey sweetie
Finn: gravity doesn’t work like that
Rey: Yes it does!
Rey:
Rey: ah. no it does not.
Fennec: No fair, you can’t use Nightsister magic to build your fort!
Padmé: I mean I didn’t really ban use of the Force…
Fennec: She’s using magic to reanimate the cardboard and make the fort build itself for her.
Padmé: Oh she’s WHAT
Asajj: A gal’s gotta do what a gal’s’ gotta do
Cara: Zombie cardboard boxes, I like it
Padmé: I’d like to question the ethics of reanimating cardboard and whether it can feel pain because it’s basically just smashed tree
Padmé: But also I know how much help those three are going to need so I’ll allow it
Quinlan: YES
Quinlan: ZOMBIE CARDBOARD FOR THE WIN
Padmé: oh, i’m going to regret this
Fennec: Listen
Fennec: What if we put a sniper post on this thing
Cara: Fennec we don’t even have walls yet
Fennec: I’m planning ahead
Fennec: And we may need to defend ourselves from the other teams
Cara: Well then absolutely
Padmé: You guys realize this is just for fun, right?
Padmé: You’re not building cardboard forts to go to war in
Quinlan: True
Quinlan: But you never said we couldn’t go to war after the competition is over!
Padmé:
Padmé: New rule!
Obi-Wan: Let’s make ours shaped like a duck
Maul: Why?
Obi-Wan: Why not?
Maul:
Maul: yeah ok let’s make a cardboard duck
Maul: But it must be black. Like Lego Batman.
Hunter: Oh no, they’re going to steal all the black paint
Hunter: WRECKER GO COLLECT ALL THE SPRAY PAINT
Poe: Hey should we be using that inside?
Hunter: No, but I refuse to lose to General Kenobi
Quinlan: What are you even building?
Tech: The Marauder!
Tech: Only much smaller, and with less firepower
Poe: ok i can respect that
Poe: Guys we need a plan
Finn: I think our plan is currently Four Walls That Stay Standing
Finn: And even that seems like a long shot
Cara: Do you think Padmé will let us build a balistraria
Padmé: A what
Cara: Those little holes in the side of a tower that you shoot arrows at your enemies through
Padmé: Does that sound like something I would approve of?
Cara: Well…
Padmé: No. The answer is no.
Chapter 106: Fort Building Chaos
Notes:
Oh hey, it’s IFD! Happy fanworks day y’all!
Chapter Text
Armitage: Listen if even Maul and Kenobi are managing to work together
Armitage: Could you four maybe consider being…
Armitage: oh i hate that i’m going to use this word
Armitage: A little more civil?
Ben: I’m being perfectly civil!
Armitage: you’re being less civil with them than you are with me
Armitage: i didn’t even know you could do that
Ben: well i don’t see you trying to foster a team environment
Armitage:
Armitage: …
Armitage: fine.
Armitage: but i’m only doing this for the lion king.
Maul: Listen
Maul: You couldn’t spare even ONE bottle of spray paint?
Obi-Wan: where did they even find that much spray paint
Hunter: Classified, and no
Maul: Please
Maul: Think of Batman Duck
Hunter: No
Maul: kenobi what else are we supposed to use to paint our duck black
Obi-Wan: We haven’t even finished him yet, that seems like a later problem
Maul: But what’s the point of Batman Duck if we can’t paint him Batman colors?
Obi-Wan: …Valid point
Jyn: not to help you guys but
Jyn: hair dye can also paint things
Maul: thank you jyn erso
Obi-Wan: Whose team is she even on?
Jyn: Oh no, I’m just here because Padmé says I’m not allowed out of her sight during Din’s day off
Jyn: But of course CASSIAN is trustworthy enough to be allowed upstairs unsupervised 😒
Obi-Wan: well. have you considered that he’s earned that trust.
Jyn:
Jyn: I’m about to dump every bottle of hair dye in this place down the drain.
Obi-Wan: Never mind! It’s a horrible injustice that Cassian can go upstairs but you can’t!
Jyn: That’s better
Poe: The second we figure how to build up instead of just out, it’s over for all of you
Finn: do we even have a plan
Poe: Idk but it’s gonna be good
Hunter: Tech, do you think you can work on building working bunks?
Tech: Absolutely. How is the control panel coming along?
Echo: We’re getting there
Echo: Wrecker is insisting on making all the buttons and switches himself
Wrecker: It’s gonna look great!
Echo: Yeah if we have the time to pull it off
Leia: I don’t think you need to worry
Leia: You’re the only group that’s actually started building instead of just yelling and stacking boxes
Anakin: Hey, we’ve started building ours!
Leia: Yours is
Leia: Too unsettling to count as a fort
Leia: Forts are supposed to be fun
Anakin: I think it’s fun ☹️
Jyn: is it just me or is it moving
Asajj: Don’t worry, that’s just the cardboard breathing
Jyn:
Jyn: the What
Ben: Luke where did you put the duct tape
Luke: uh
Luke: I’m working on it!
Ben: You’re what
Ben:
Ben: are you
Armitage: What now?
Ben: he’s duct taped to a box.
Armitage: How?
Han: Wasn’t me!
Luke: I tripped ☹️
Ben:
Leia: Oh that’s. That’s a lot of duct tape.
Leia: How did you even manage to…
Armitage: well at least you four are talking now.
Maul: So… what are ducks shaped like again?
Obi-Wan: just wing it, nobody else will know either
Maul: Was that… a duck pun?
Maul:
Maul: He can do that?
Chapter 107: who thought this was a good idea, anyway?
Chapter Text
Padmé: So how much more time are we thinking we’re going to need?
Hunter: Maybe 20 minutes?
Poe: rey no what did we say about gravity
Rey: that it’s boring, apparently 😒
Maul: OUR DUCK
Maul: IT’S GLORIOUS
Jyn: Its face is melting off
Obi-Wan: WELL HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW PUTTING LIQUID ON CARDBOARD WOULD MAKE IT FLOPPY
Maul: like i said
Maul: GLORIOUS
Arm: So have we just given up on getting Luke unstuck from the boxes?
Leia: He’s our structural support now
Arm:
Arm: ah.
Luke: This is fun!
Quinlan: Asajj I can hear our fort breathing
Quinlan: Should it be breathing that loudly?
Asajj: As long as it isn’t screaming it’s fine
Padmé:
Padmé: Great, 20 more minutes it is!
Fennec: Wait wait wait make it 30
Fennec: I need to attach this cannon to the side wall
Padmé: You need to what
Fennec: It’s made entirely of cardboard, I promise!
Padmé: Fennec that’s not the problem here
Finn: poe what are we going to do
Poe:
Poe: Yeah there’s no saving this
Poe: Rey go sit in that box
Poe: That’s our base now
Rey: Ok
Poe: Finn, get some blankets
Finn: On it
Poe: We definitely can’t salvage this, but at least we can fill it with fluffy things
Ben: so just
Ben: stand there i guess??
Ben: and leia will
Ben: uh
Leia: I’m going to tape these other boxes to the boxes you’re already taped to
Ben: sure
Ben: and then han is just going to pile more boxes on top
Luke: Sounds like a great plan!
Han:
Han: Well he’s got spirit, but absolutely no self-preservation
Obi-Wan: You know, the melting face kind of builds character
Maul: Very NONE SHALL PASS
Jyn: that’s
Jyn: that’s a massive cube with wings
Maul: You have to use your IMAGINATION, Jyn
Maul: You wouldn’t understand 😒
Cassian: It’s… extremely concerning to see those two getting along
Padmé: We’ll deal with that fallout later
Padmé: How do I stop Cara from attaching a trebuchet to her fort
Cassian: That’s a trick question, right?
Jyn: You don’t.
Jyn: HEY CARA CAN YOU LAUNCH ME OUT OF YOUR TREBUCHET
Cara: AFTER WE WIN THIS SURE
Din: Hey guys
Din: I’m getting that sense you get when Cara is about to destroy something
Din: Are you guys sure you’re alright down there?
Padmé:
Padmé: Everything is Fine.
Jyn: You should go back to sleep
Jyn: If you hear anything crashing it’s probably just someone dropping something in the kitchen, and definitely not Cara launching me in a trebuchet 🥰
Din: Oh alright
Din: Bye guys
Padmé: alright that seems like a good place to end things
Padmé: TIME’S UP
Cara: but…my trebuchet…
Chapter 108: Judging
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Cassian: So
Cassian: Are we supposed to judge these now?
Jyn: I’ve been judging them the whole time
Poe: thanks, jyn.
Padmé: So um
Padmé: I guess you all can introduce them? And then we’ll judge?
Asajj: Who’s we?
Padmé: hmm
Padmé: Me, Jyn, Cassian, and Ezra
Padmé: That seems…mostly fair?
Ezra: So who’s up first?
Jyn: let’s go most tragic to least tragic
Cassian:
Cassian: so we can all agree which one’s first right
Finn: Oh you’re just
Finn: You’re just heading right over here.
Rey: Hi guys!
Padmé: In our defense you don’t even have a structure
Padmé: It’s just a circle of cardboard boxes filled with pillows
Rey: But can you honestly say you’d rather choose a fort with nothing comfortable to sit in?
Ezra:
Ezra: listen i don’t wanna say it but she’s got a point
Rey: :)
Poe: i knew there was a reason we chose you for our team
Padmé: You guys do know this is like
Padmé: The bare minimum of fort
Rey: It’s tragically beautiful!
Ezra:
Ezra: what does that even mean
Jyn: Like Cassian
Cassian:
Ezra: ohh
Cassian: why am i…tragically beautiful…
Jyn: Well you’re depressing but nice to look at
Cassian: So… like you?
Quinlan: Nah, that’s beautifully tragic
Jyn:
Jyn: Well now I know who’s ranking last on my list.
Poe: Oh thank the force
Poe: We’re not in dead last guys!
Finn: i’ll believe it when i see it
Ezra: So who wants to get Quin and Asajj and Anakin’s over with before it gains sentience and starts taking revenge on us?
Padmé: Yeah that
Padmé: That seems like a good idea
Asajj: For the last time, there’s only a 60% chance that it will do that!
Cassian:
Cassian: Only???
Padmé:
Padmé: nobody wake din up.
Padmé: he doesn’t need to know about this.
Notes:
…so can you tell i watched the new wicked movie recently? props if you caught the reference lmao
Chapter 109: which is deteriorating faster: these forts’ structural integrity or padmé’s sanity?
Chapter Text
Ezra: I think we should do… that one …next
Ben: well you don’t have to say it like that 😒
Ezra: Oh I do. I absolutely do.
Leia: Hold still Luke
Leia: You’re the only thing keeping this standing
Luke: My arms arr getting tired ☹️
Luke: Snd it’s hard to text like tjis
Han: Just a few more minutes
Armitage: Something tells me it’s going to take more than a few minutes to get all this tape off of him
Padmé: Did you guys seriously just…
Ben: …Have Luke stand with his arms out and tape cardboard boxes to him?
Ben: Yes.
Jyn: This seems like it should be against the rules
Jyn: Luke isn’t cardboard
Padmé: It also feels very unethical
Jyn: Well that too, but who cares about ethics?
Armitage: Hey, if the zombie cardboard group can have a living fort, we should be allowed to have one too!
Padmé: ah…
Padmé: I can’t really argue against that one
Leia: Besides, Luke likes standing there!
Leia: It’s perfectly ethical!
Luke: i csn’t feel my arns
Leia: keep smiling, skyguy.
Luke: 😀
Anakin: sorry, skywhat
Luke: guys
Luke: guys i haev to snez
Han: He what
Cassian: I think he said he has to—
Cassian:
Han:
Padmé:
Cassian: Sneeze.
Ben: Well, there goes our fort
Armitage: And our Lion King…
Jyn: Smh
Jyn: Anyways, I wanna go see the Batman duck!
Obi-Wan: Padmé, Ezra, and Jyn
Maul: what are you doing
Obi-Wan: It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you
Maul: alright sure let’s do a dramatic introduction then
Obi-Wan: As Maul and I proudly present:
Maul: maybe warn me next time but sure
Obi-Wan: Batman Duck.
Ezra: Oh, he’s glorious
Maul: You, sir, appreciate art.
Ezra:
Ezra: yeah if you two could maybe tone down the creepy art curator energy that would be nice
Jyn: Can we go inside the Batman Duck?
Maul:
Maul: So unfortunately he doesn’t just Look like he’s melting, he is Actually Melting
Maul: I wouldn’t recommend going inside if you value having, you know
Maul: Lungs.
Obi-Wan: And maybe your outer layer of skin.
Maul: Yeah that too
Jyn:
Jyn: Oh.
Chapter 110: The Cardboard Kings
Chapter Text
Padmé: So since I’m not interested in dying young
Poe:
Ben:
Padmé: WE’RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT
Padmé: Anyways I don’t want to be around Obi-Wan and Maul’s lung-melter duck any longer than I need to
Padmé: So let’s please move on to Cara and Fennec’s fort
Fennec: Welcome to our castle
Fennec: Just pretend the Swedish Fish on the ground are actual fish in our actual moat
Ezra: Oh is that what those things are?
Ezra: Can I eat them?
Cara: i mean we got them from melinda so there’s a 40% chance they’re radioactive or cursed
Cara: or they make din start freaking out and yelling about parallel universes
Ezra:
Ezra: Can’t be worse than the zombie fort!
Padmé:
Padmé: how does din do this full time
Cara: We helped him practice!
Padmé:
Jyn: So where are all the weapons?
Cara: Well Padmé said no weapons
Jyn:
Cara:
Jyn:
Cara: but yeah we keep them in that box over there
Jyn: YAY
Fennec: BUT DON’T TOUCH MY CANNON
Jyn: UGH FINE
Ezra: Ooooh, cardboard nunchucks
Padmé:
Padmé: Is there anything else you’d like to show us? Maybe something that’s a legal part of this competition?
Fennec: Oh right
Fennec: We’ve got a cardboard couch over there
Fennec: And impenetrable cardboard walls obviously, since this is a fortress
Fennec: And a doormat
Ezra: that’s just a square of cardboard
Cara: Are you kidding me Ezra it literally says welcome on it
Ezra: it does????
Cara: yeah if you use your IMAGINATION
Ezra:
Padmé: Aaaaaand, it’s Bad Batch time!
Hunter: We present to you…
Hunter: Our ship, but made out of cardboard!
Ezra:
Ezra: You did THIS with CARDBOARD??
Wrecker: It was mostly Tech’s plan
Echo: It was entirely Tech’s plan
Echo: But we all pitched in on building
Padmé: I think we have a clear winner
Padmé: Unless anyone wants to argue?
Maul:
Quinlan:
Finn:
Cara:
Anakin:
Padmé: Yeah, that’s what I thought
Padmé: Congratulations, Bad Batch
Padmé: You’re officially the cardboard fort kings
Padmé: oh and also get to choose next movie night
Hunter:
Hunter: Lads
Hunter: It’s Barbie time.
Chapter 111: Yet Another Ill-Advised Field Trip
Chapter Text
Poe: So this has been fun and all but uh
Poe: What are we going to do about the couch?
Poe: Or rather, the pile of wood splinters and fluff that used to be the couch?
Padmé:
Padmé: hmm
Padmé:
Padmé: oh i’m going to regret this so much
Padmé: WHO WANTS TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP
Anakin: mEEEEEE
Fennec: MEEEEEEE
Cara: SHOTGUN
Padmé:
Padmé: What have I done
Padmé: I need no less than THREE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE TO COME WITH ME
Padmé: We need to balance them out somehow
Quinlan: what if
Quinlan: what if we all come with
Padmé: Does the bus have enough seats?
Fennec: It’s got the space!
Padmé: Seats, Fennec. Does it have seats.
Fennec:
Fennec: It’s got the space!
Padmé: fine.
Padmé: All aboard the bus!
Poe: Rey come on get out of the box
Rey: i don’t want to
Poe: rey
Poe: you’re twenty years old
Rey: and?
Poe: that’s like five years too old to be cramming yourself into a cardboard box for fun
Rey: ok well i’m making up for lost time
Poe: …
Poe: Finn are you going to back me up here?
Finn:
Finn: I have an idea
Rey: wait what are you doing
Rey: WHAT ARE Y
Padmé:
Padmé: I’m not going to ask why you two are dragging Rey in a cardboard box, but only if you promise to be on the bus in five minutes or less
Finn: Yeah we can do five minutes
Poe: the uh. the stairs might be an issue.
Finn: hmm
Ben: Need any help?
Poe:
Finn:
Rey:
Rey: oh i’m going to kill all three of you when this is over
Asajj: I’m calling the backseat because I am Not dealing with all of you for the next
Asajj: uh
Asajj: Hey Padmé, how long is this trip going to take anyway?
Padmé: …Good question
Padmé: Somebody consult Google about where we can get furniture fast
Ezra: There’s this place called… IKEA?
Padmé: Great. Fennec, we’re headed to IKEA.
Fennec: Aye aye, captain
Fennec: ALRIGHT, BUCKLE UP
Fennec: UNLESS YOU’RE ON THE FLOOR
Fennec: THEN JUST uhhhhh
Fennec: GRAB SOMEONE AND HOLD ON TIGHT
Fennec: This bus is about to break laws you didn’t even know existed 😎
Chapter 112: Impending IKEA
Chapter Text
Padmé: So Fennec
Padmé: It would be nice if you could um
Padmé: KEEP THE BUS ON THE ROAD
Fennec: Do I have to?
Padmé: I can and will take away your mac n cheese privileges.
Fennec: Yes ma’am 🫡
Fennec: T minus 5 minutes until we reach IKEA
Poe: So are you going to get out of the cardboard box when we get there or
Rey:
Rey: Hmm
Poe: Guys what if we tried to mail her somewhere
Rey: hey so let’s not
Cara: Mail her to Melinda
Rey: guys let’s Not
Maul: Hey Padmé
Padmé: Yes?
Maul: if we brought, say, spending money with us
Maul: could we use that here
Padmé:
Padmé: I have no idea where you found yourself spending money, but I can’t exactly stop you
Maul: Excellent.
Maul: KEEEEENOBIIIII
Asajj: Can you please stop doing that indoors?
Evaan: Yeah come on it’s a small space, you’re killing my eardrums
Maul: Apologies.
Maul: Kenobi
Obi-Wan: Yes?
Maul: We must purchase ourselves a
Maul: wait what are they called again
Maul: Ah yes
Maul: A Blåhaj
Obi-Wan: A what
Maul: Trust me, it’s important
Obi-Wan:
Maul: And unfortunately somewhat expensive, which is why we need to share our pocket money
Obi-Wan: …Fine. But only if we get joint custody over Blåhaj.
Maul: Deal
Anakin:
Anakin: why are they getting along now
Quinlan: I’m not sure, but it can’t be a good thing for either of us
Fennec: T minus 2 minutes
Fennec: Let’s see if I remember how to park this thing
Padmé: Fennec…
Fennec: It’s fine, I’ve done this several times before!
Fennec: Mostly successfully
Padmé: As long as we park Beside the building and not Through the building
Fennec: Oh yeah that I can do
Fennec: This is the part where all of you try really hard not to scream
Fennec:
Fennec: Guys I said try NOT to scream
Fennec: Why does nobody ever listen to me?
Quinlan: Probably cause they’re too busy screaming
Quinlan: Which, now that I think about it, I should probably get back to
Chapter 113: Into the Endless Abyss
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Padmé: Alright, once we get inside we’re going to need a plan.
Jyn: a what
Fennec: is this like when din tells us all the things we’re not supposed to do but then we go do them anyway?
Padmé:
Padmé: We’re going to get in quick, and then get out quicker.
Padmé: And NOT because we’re getting kicked out, Cara.
Cara: you never let me have any fun ☹️
Padmé: Nope, because then we’d all be dead or in jail
Padmé: Moving on! The first team to find us a nice couch gets to be the first team to use it at movie night
Luke: Can we choose what to watch too?
Padmé: We’ll still be watching the Bad Batch’s choice, but you’ll get the couch
Armitage:
Luke:
Ben: yeah that’s enough of an incentive for me, let’s go
Poe: REY GET OUT OF THE BOX WE GOTTA RUN
Rey: IM TRYING
Poe: TRY HARDER
Poe: I’M NOT GETTING STUCK USING ZORII AS A PILLOW AGAIN
Zorii:
Zorii: well then how about i let you lie on the floor next time?
Poe: no please i take back everything i said
Obi-Wan: Maul
Obi-Wan: Maul what do we do
Maul:
Maul: It’s a worthy sacrifice, Kenobi
Maul: Think of our child. Think of Blåhaj.
Maul: A couch is nothing compared to his stuffed shark glory.
Obi-Wan:
Obi-Wan: You’re right. We have to.
Padmé:
Padmé: Am I hallucinating this
Cassian: It certainly feels like it
Cassian: So are you just letting everyone run free in IKEA?
Padmé: I guess so
Padmé: It’s like dealing with small children. You need to let them run wild every so often so they don’t implode your house.
Cassian: Ah
Cassian:
Cassian: On that note, Jyn will you team up with me to get first dibs on the new couch?
Jyn: Absolutely.
Jyn: Onwards, into the endless abyss!
Ezra: Hey, that almost makes the acronym IKEA
Jyn:
Jyn: Onwards, Into Khe Endless Abyss!
Ezra: or you can just do that i guess
Padmé: the sweet sound of silence.
Padmé: oh how i missed you.
Anakin: Hey, there’s a way out of this place, right?
Padmé: Yeah?
Anakin: Oh, good.
Anakin: My team’s been lost in the land of throw pillows for almost an hour now
Padmé: It’s been… two minutes?
Asajj:
Asajj: I think there’s something wrong with your clock
Asajj: It’s clearly been an hour
Hunter: Something’s wrong with both of your clocks. My watch says it’s been 27 minutes.
Poe: There’s a clock on the desk here that says it’s 3 in the morning if that helps!
Han: Well it’s just after noon in the kitchen room
Jyn: how did all of you manage to make it through the room of endless office chairs
Jyn: this feels like my worst nightmare but with less generational trauma
Obi-Wan: the room of What
Ezra: Yeah can we go back to the endless office chairs
Ezra: I’m stuck in a sea of child-size closets
Fennec: Hey maybe you’ll find my younger self
Fennec: she certainly spent enough time in there.
Ezra:
Ezra: I’m not going to address that because I don’t know how!
Ezra: Oh and it’s 10am here
Padmé:
Padmé: Well that’s going to make things interesting
Notes:
What’s a trip to IKEA without losing all sense of time?
