[EVENT | FOURTH WALL] THE DREAMING'S FLATULENCE | APRIL 15-30
Characters: ALL and plus ones. (Yes, fourth-wall characters, that means you.)
Date: April 15-30 2016 (2017 in-game)
Location: Mod-posted comment starters are for the immediate aftermath of the odd explosion which starts the event, but this log can also be used for anywhere in the setting anytime between April 15-30.
Situation: The College went BOOM. Weird people began appearing randomly in the city. After that, other buildings went BOOM even though nothing actually exploded besides the College. After that, scattered buildings developed spontaneous structural damage overnight. Could these events be related? You be the judge.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings in subject headers as needed.
The morning of April 15th dawns cold, but clear. There isn't a cloud in the sky, the sun's barely risen, and in general the kedan are going about their daily lives - opening shops, heading to work, leading kirin through the city streets. In particular, there's a small but steady stream of people moving in and out of the College.
Then, without warning, a section of the College implodes.
During the following few days, an influx of strange Foreigners appear, seemingly dropped randomly by the Dreaming throughout Keeliai. Someone might end up in a canal, or on a rooftop. Someone else might find themselves flying through the air to land heavily in a disused alley. Someone might wake up in the corner of a kirin stable. A few might even land in Hatal on the mainland, and feel a curious draw leading them back towards the turtle. They arrive in the same unexpected manner as normal Foreigners; the only differences are the sheer amount of people arriving at once, and that none of the newcomers seem to possess any soul gems.
Also during the next few days, kedan and Foreigner alike might be startled by an exact replica of that thunderous boom from the College explosion echoing around Keeliai. This only occurs for about a week, but it occurs regularly, and the source of these strange echoes is impossible to trace.
Once the explosion echoes stop, investigators might notice that specific and exact sections of structural damage from the College appear on other buildings in Keeliai without any obvious cause. These cases of spontaneous long-term damage continue all the way through until April 30th.
Apart from those disruptions, life on the turtle is generally normal for the next two weeks - or as normal as it's possible for life to be when one lives on the back of a turtle where the most powerful gang makes the rules. No one can say for sure exactly when the strange Foreigners vanish again. Some will swear they all vanished at once; others will be equally sure they disappeared one by one over several days. One thing's for sure, however -- by the time April 30th draws to a close, not one of the strange Foreigners is left in Keeliai.

It is the truth. I.. have never been able to lie to you. Even now.
[Oh Padmé, if you had any idea. The things he's done. The pain and the suffering he's caused.]
We have been brought here, on the back of a giant space turtle... Strange is one way to think of it.
It is the only explanation, I haven't seen you since... Not for a long time.
no subject
I didn't say you were lying. I'm sure it's the truth, as you see it.
[So what? There isn't a single person without some grain of good in them. And she knows that Anakin has more than just one. No matter what he's done in his grief and anger, she knows he's still the same boy who called her an angel and declared they'd be married when he was nine years old.]
Trust me. I've already exhausted that line of thought in my time here. It's just like being on another world without being able to leave.
How long has it been? [How long has he been alone without anyone who loves him close? Or even alive.]
no subject
Mine should be the one that matters.
[Ugh. Really? He sounds like a kid again. (Says the guy who got a McLucas meal just for the toy. Sith Lord, you're doing it... Odd.) Anyway, he was young and naive back then. He believed that doing the right thing was doing the good thing. War changed that.]
It's been... a lifetime. Please, don't ask for more than that.
no subject
As much as I love you, even I'm not blind to the fact that everyone sees things differently. I'm no different in that instance.
[Despite the words of Obi-Wan and Galen Marek, Padmé finds it difficult to see him as a monster. Even in this strange, cold, lifeless suit, speaking with a voice she doesn't recognize, she can see the spark of light and hope in him. While others might think him lost, she won't give up on him.]
I can't imagine how this might be for you. It was hard enough for me when our son showed up. [She smiles sadly, her thoughts turning automatically to Luke and how starved for any sort of information about her he was.] Our grandson referred to me as a relic and Luke didn't know anything about me.
Part of me wants to apologize to you all for that, but I don't know if that's even the right move in this instance, since from what I understand, there is nothing I can do to stop you from becoming the man in front of me.
no subject
You're right, of course. It's what made you a good Senator, even if I still don't like politics.
[Her faith in him and the Republic had given him hope, more than anything else. It was devastating to lose that.]
He is here!?
[And without a whole Galaxy to have to search. They can't keep him from finding him this time. It takes a moment to pull his attention from what has been his secret obsession since he learned of Luke's existence.]
You have nothing to apologize for. I was desperate and foolish... the choice was mine alone.
I have accepted my guilt for the consequences.
no subject
And she might be alive still.]Well, I never asked you to like politics. I never liked that we were fighting a war the whole time we were married. It was hard to be comfortable, even when we were alone.
[Her faith in him and the Republic and its people hasn't wavered, it never would.]
Yes, he's here. I'm not sure where, exactly, but he's been here for a few weeks now.
[A few happy weeks with her perfect son and beloved husband.]
And you still blame yourself for not seeing things sooner, don't you?
no subject
I hated the war as much as you did. That's why I ended it.
[He wanted her and their child to know peace, to be safe. Even if it meant imposing it by force. Whoops.
Once again he has to avert his gaze.]
I should have. I was blind and weak. [He hates himself for it.]
no subject
But what did you lose in the process?
[She stepped away, picking up her blaster and putting it back into her basket, face unreadable as her emotions clash against one another.]
You are human. You always have been the most human person I've ever met. And we were all manipulated by a man who started this long before you and I were born.
no subject
I will escort you until you reach someplace you feel you won't need your weapon.
...If you wish.
[He hopes she agrees but he'll understand if she chooses otherwise.]
no subject
I always carry a blaster. I don't have a lightsaber or the Force and it's not just the Foreigners that have to be watched for any shady behavior.
Besides, I'm not done with my shopping and I highly doubt you're interested in that.
[It's neither yes or no because she isn't sure herself what she wants him to do.]
no subject
You rarely traveled without one.
I'm not. Your company however... that will always interest me.
[She had always been the one thing that truly provided him with peace. Despite of the feelings of guilt and shame that he struggles with, she still is. It's selfish, but he doesn't want to lose that again, not just yet. Even if it's all he can have.]
no subject
Only fools believe that they can travel in a time of war without some precautions. I'd like to think I'm not a fool. Time can only tell if that's true or not.
[She takes a long moment to look at him, unfamiliar with any of his gestures in this form. He could have done a myriad of things to her and he wouldn't have to actually touch her. And if all he wanted to do was walk with her while she shopped, she can't find any fault in it.]
Your choice in flattery has changed. Not the substance, but the delivery has. I'm not sure how I feel about it. You'll just have to accompany me until I know for certain.
no subject
As you wish.
[There's a hint of something in his voice. Amusement?... happiness? whatever it is it's a good thing. He takes a sip of his latte and tries not to think about it too much.]
