Han didn’t feel like explaining the situation at the moment, hell it probably wouldn’t look good for him either. Shifting his gaze around a bit, he leaned in lowering his voice “ Let’s just say I’ve gotten tangled with the wrong kind of guys a time or two. “ Yup that was the best way of putting it. 

“Tangled with the wrong kind of guys...in such a way that it would jeopardize the safety and success of an entirely above board, important event?”

He expected this kind of reaction naturally but did that stop him from at least trying, of course not. “ Well like I said, good luck trying to find a deal for much cheaper. “ he added with a shrug. “ Dinner place of your choice, hell I’ll even sweeten the deal and take you to a movie. “ he added. He rose a brow at her comment about it not being safe for them. He reached into his pocket, plucking out his cell phone. “ Yeah, I got four bars. Trust me princess I think I can handle myself, I’ve dealt with some pretty rouch people in my time.  “ he seemed to almost brag. 

“You really know how to make a girl feel cheap don’t you,” she snapped, “you can’t buy me with the promise of fixing my truck. I have forty dollars in my purse right now, I’ll pay you that if you call me a tow truck and forget the whole thing. Forty dollars for a phone call, you aren’t going to find a better deal.” Somewhere far away she could hear in her mind the snapping of a branch echoing in her skull, she turned her head in the direction of the noise. Again with the made up noises? No, they always turned out to be something, maybe she just had exceptionally good hearing, if she made it home she would have to look into that...or maybe not, it wasn’t as if it mattered much. She turned back to him, her anger quelled once again by fear she did her best to mask, “so what’ya say flyboy, are you done trying to buy me.”

“I’ll take the drinks, but not the crying.” Elsa suggested. She didn’t mind the idea of a night of wine and ice cream. “Perfect. Why are we still here?”

“Because last I checked I’m just a lowly human who can’t teleport anyone anywhere and you don’t want to max out your witch powers,” she snarked, pausing as she stood up and collected her stuff, “can witches even teleport or am I making that up just to increase the power of my sarcasm? Anyway, we’ll just take my truck.”

Minnie let out a giggle and nodded, looking into the crowd to try and get a sense of how they were going to get through it. “My head?” She asked with a blink, but then gasped and started to follow Leia through the crowd, their path windy and sudden. “I see them!” She reached out and quickly grabbed onto two of them once they were close enough, and put them in her basket. “Okay, and I think the cookie sheets are over there…” She pointed. It wasn’t nearly as far as where they’d been before, just a few shelves over. But with all the people, it was more difficult than the few steps it would normally be.

“Got it. Cookie sheets,” she scanned their surroundings, they were close, Leia reached out and grabbed one, the last one, just as some other guy grabbed it as well. 

There was a beat. 

A stare down. 

“If you think I’m gonna let you have it just because you’re a girl,” the guy spoke, “you’re dead wrong.”

Leia scowled, “I will throw hands with you, right here and now if you don’t let these damn things go. I’m a student of professor Ren, I take his class seriously and I guarantee I can kick your ass!” she snarled at him, the air seemed to shimmer around her and the guy who had once been so sure of himself let go and stepped back. 

“You’re fucking crazy,” she said, walking away from her, fast. 

A bright grin unfurled across her face, like a victory flag, she turned to Minnie, “target acquired, where to next?”

professor-padme‌:

Padme was sitting in her office, grading a few papers before she decided to go home for the afternoon. She looked up from the papers at the voice outside of her door. She smiled brightly at the woman who walked into the room. “Absolutely.” She moved some stuff off of her desk. “Have a seat.”

She took a seat and took a moment before laying the folder on the desk in front of her, she placed a hand on it and recollected her thoughts before saying them aloud. “I’ve had some concerns, as have many about the direction the country seems to be going from, towards selfishness and self righteousness and away from empathy and compassion,” she began, a pained look took her, “I was...adopted from birth, perhaps you don’t really need to know this but I thought it was important to disclose it. I was told a little about my birth mother, my parents were friends with her or something like that and I would be lying if I said I didn’t have mixed feelings about the whole thing but I think a lot about her, specifically what they told me. They said she was beautiful but sad.” Was she oversharing to sell it? Maybe, it was hard to say. “This description...and when I thought about it in the context of her being American” she took a deep breath, “it’s difficult enough to be a young mother where there are support systems in place and even more difficult where there are none. It is so dangerous to be a pregnant woman in the united states today and I’m sure it was even more so in the past.” She had to look away, waves of emotion crashed through her, was the light above flickering? She could barely notice. Fear, sadness, dark turbulent feelings. “I think about what kind of options she might have had, not have had...how maybe her life would be different if she’d had more options. Most of all I just wonder how much support she got going through it all.”

Something serene and peaceful washed over her as the storm in her heart passed again, a small smile as she looked back up, “I didn’t entirely intend to dump a big speech on your lap about some woman I never knew,” she admitted, “but she’s important, she’s the inspiration to the project I wish to take on, with your oversight of course. I know that there isn’t much that the government does for young women and mothers but there is an organization that does a lot. Planned parenthood and it’s under attack. They provide women with options, true options, regardless of the choices they make and that is important work. They’re a true liberating force for women and thus the entire country and I would like to do my part in redefining the way that maybe those who oppose them, view them,” she tapped the folder on the desk, “I would like to organize a charity gala, in this folder are the permits for the venue, full list of expenses, the budget, design plans, catering plans, all of it...all I need is someone reputable, someone who commands enough respect to endorse it and it’s a reality. I was really hoping that person could be you? It would be a non-partisan event of course, our aim would be simply to raise money for a good, very good cause.” She held her breath and awaited the verdict. Did she sell it? Was it too much? Would professor Amidala be into the idea? Something in her heart told her yes but she knew better than to count her chickens before they hatched.

A Benefit of Great Benefit.

“ Well yeah, who doesn’t like getting paid? “ he shrugged casually. Han was already in enough trouble as it was and he wasn’t sure how much more he could afford to get into. “ Look, you gotta gurnette that whatever this is that I’m agreeing to my ass isn’t going to get into hot water. “ 

Her eyebrow went up, “uh...sure? If you’re worried about ending up in jail or something that’s not gonna happen.” She paused and furrowed her brows, “are you okay? Do you need help?”

[leia-organa-0f-alderaan]

wrcitteninthestars‌:

He held back a chuckle, oh she had completely misunderstood what he had been saying. “ The only payment I’d want is if you’d let me take you out. “ he replied. He shrugged, leaning a bit against the hood. “ You’re not going to find yourself a better deal.“ 

She crossed her arms, she’d been afraid it would be...something like this. She rolled er eyes “You’re hilarious. No,” she said, “I refuse. If you want a date you’re going to have to try a little harder than poorly timed opportunism.” She wasn’t in the mood for any of this, she was more than a little afraid and she couldn’t explain why exactly and his antics weren’t helping. She didn’t know him really but she had the sense that if she said no he wouldn’t leave her stranded but she couldn’t be sure. “Look, it’s not safe for either of us out here this late at night, do you have cell service?”

Marshmallows Fix Everything

@dizzyiisms

It was only just beginning to get dark when Leia got to work on her camp fire. She was getting hungry and eager to start cooking, she brought a variety of snacks with her out to the wilderness...or rather, what passed for wilderness around these parts. The woods up in BC were dense and wild, sometimes they were cold and others the air was so dense with humidity it was a labour to breath but there was also something...potent there. Leia couldn’t explain it very well so she never tried but the deeper she went into the wild, away from civilization towards that part of her that craved chaos she felt...almost at home. 

She prodded the little fire with a stick, enjoying the smell and sound of dry wood popping and cracking as the fire grew but not too much. She had her marshmallows open and ready to go but there was another sound, faint and strange, it echoed like it was in her head but she chalked it up to water in her ear from a shower that morning. She looked up, out at the woods and frowned, she didn’t want to leave her fire but she had a distinct feeling that the source of the noise wouldn’t be all that far away...

With a heavy sigh, she poured a bowl of water onto the fire, extinguishing it so she could go find the source of the noise. It was a person and they were lost, that had to be it, judging by the noise, they weren’t used to the woods. She hiked off towards the brook, bowl in hand to collect more water. The brook was a few yards away and it was a nice enough walk and the closer she got the more she began to think that maybe the noise was just that, in her head, a residual noise. She pouted, if she didn’t go looking for the noise she wouldn’t have had to extinguish the fire and would be enjoying hot dogs and s’mores at that very moment. 

She got to the edge of the water when she spotted movement, heard the cracking of twigs that noise! she thought. “Hey, who’s there?” she called out, “I promise, I’m totally safe.”

uma let out a gentle laugh, obviously very pleased. “i like this lack of filter, so please continue,” she encouraged. she remembered the other from that strange week and was proud of herself for making an impression. “i’m sad i wasn’t able to keep you in my fold – it would have been nice to have someone on my side for once. we could have shared so many meals together,” she entertained.

Meals. That’s right. That was the big question she still had about the siren, “I guess I’m sad too,” she said, it had been fun to be something other than human. “Would you mind me asking an incredibly blunt question?” If Uma did mind, she would be okay with that, with allowing that question to linger in the back of her mind unasked. “You can say yes by the way,” she added, “I’d understand if you wanted to maintain your air of mystery.”

1st row: Casual city wear. Leia’s colours are white, burgundy and black. She can wear other colours but tends to keep to those for practicality’s sake. Her closet is very well organized and it’s easy for her to put together and outfit...even if that outfit tends to be a little boring. 

2nd row: Professional wear. Leia takes her job as a TA very seriously, she takes any job very seriously and always dresses the part. She keeps to her established pallet usually and always chooses comfortable, conservative pieces. When Leia is the boss, she also looks like the boss. 

3rd row: Camping. Leia’s camping wardrobe is much more casual, includes a wider array of colours and more layers. Her camping pieces are more rough and weathered and she honestly feels more comfortable in them than her more put together outfits.

Han wasn’t sure if he was supposed to be flattered or insulted. Perhaps the answer was both. When she had told him what she truly meant he felt slightly relieved, although slightly disappointed as well. How odd. He frowned unsure how to even respond. “ First off what exactly would you be wanting me to do anyway? and secondly who says I’d want to? “ 

“You like getting paid, don’t you?” she said, “I can’t tell you much about it at the moment but it will be good for your resume.”

[leia-organa-0f-alderaan]

Leia lives in apartment above a camping store, she does her laundry at a laundromat down the street and takes her truck out to local farmers markets to buy as much local food as she can. Her parents are loaded and she makes money as a TA so she lives comfortably. Her apartment has a few fun features, including a small walk in closet and a gas stove. She definitely cooks s’mores over the stove and cries in her closet with a bottle of wine on especially bad days. Leia’s apartment is where you want to be if you want to binge something sappy or scary on netflix with a cup of wine...unless you’re worried about spilling it on all that white, it’s kind of her colour.

A Benefit of Great Benefit.

@professor-padme

She knocked on the door to her professor’s office, a folder in hand, prepared for what might be one of the most important presentations she’d made yet in her life. The empire had been quiet at Fantasia University and she was forging strong bonds with her classmates and teachers and was poised to help them so she’d decided to let her guard down...just a little and got somewhat invested in a cause very near and dear to her heart. 

“Hello?” she said “Ms. Amidala, I was wondering if you had a moment...”

[leia-organa-0f-alderaan]

buttcnsandbows‌:

Minnie nodded firmly as the other spoke, and the two of them started weaving through the room to get to what she wanted. “Oh wow!! Yes, definitely. Hopefully they still have some…”

“Oh, I will get you that tray,” she said with utter certainty, she squeezed her hand, “hold on tight and watch your head,” she said as she weaved her way through the crowd, using their lacking statures to their advantage, ducking under elbows, getting closer and closer to the display. This was about a lot more than a muffin tray, this was for the muffins the tray would make, the smiles they would bring, this was for peace and freedom, this was for...America? “We’re almost there!”

[leia-organa-0f-alderaan]

wrcitteninthestars‌:

Han raised a brow as he listened to her, before curiously peeking over to see what was the issue. Taking a look under the hood and after a little investigation he was able to pinpoint the issue. “ Well I think I know what’s going on here… you’ve got yourself a bad radiator.. “ he pointed out rather casually. “ The bad news is You’ll probably have to have it replace. “ a smirk was quick to fall on to his lips at his next words. “ The good news is if you get the new part I can replace it for you…that is if you do something for me.  “ 

She frowned, get it replaced? That meant she wasn’t likely getting anywhere any time soon. She looked up at him, “Do something for you? I can make sure you get paid if that’s what you mean.”

[leia-organa-0f-alderaan]

elsa--arendelle‌:

“You’re a little shit.” Elsa said back. She liked Leia. She was kind and fun to joke around with. Make her darkness her bitch? That was something that Elsa had never heard of, but that had been her plan with Shayna. “I might have to.”

“If you ever need someone to drink and cry with through the process let me know,” she said, “my couch finally came in and it’s open for business.” If Leia ever became a mom, she would be a wine mom.

“I just need a couple of muffin tins, I left them at home by accident… and maybe another cookie sheet if they have them on sale!” Minnie said with a smile, but then took a deep breath. “Okay, come on!” She started moving towards the crowd, ready to squirm around people if she had to.

“muffin tins, got it,” she stood on her tip toes as they weaved through the crowd, trying to scan for the trays. She spotted a display between two heads across the room, “oh my god they’re sixty percent off! That’s like, ten dollars, do you want it?”
