❝ I hope you don't find my company on this mission intrusive, General Skywalker. ❞

The medic's voice cuts through the silence that hangs over the hanger of the transport shuttle that caried the two to their assignment, a small backwater planet named Bulmira where a squadron had gone missing. She's oddly put together, her medic uniform clashing against the boxes of misplaced supplies and weapons around them in a way that makes it look like she'd severely out of place.

This wasn't Fhaj'ha's first mission with a jedi, and she severely doubted it would be her last, but it is the first time she'd been assigned to work with general Skywalker in particular. That does not mean however, that she hadn't heard of him and his exploits through passing gossip. She'd worked with his squadron once or twice, and one thing she had learned over time was that clones liked to talk almost as much as the padawan's did, and that his reputation preceded him.

He looked younger then what she imagined.

❝ I know my addition to the assignment was fairly last minute. ❞

It had been a long, complicated and sad day for Leilany. Her little sister had passed away just a week prior, in her arms. It was still hard for her to wake up in that house and not expect her little sister to come running into the kitchen after being woken up and giving her a big hug like she always had. Though Isla hadn't been little for a few years now, she was only a few years younger than Leilany. So she hadn't exactly been little; but to Leilany she would always be her little sister. Isla was a happy girl, loving, caring and a lot like her older sister; according to their parents anyways -- Isla was Leilany's little mini me. Leila had met Cami before; they'd talked several times but never really hung out... but to her, Cami seemed like someone she could become very good friends with. Though she knew that the girl was working that day; she'd hoped that afterwards, it would be okay if they hung out; Leilany didn't have many friends.... she had lost quite a few of them when she moved. They just seemed to move on without her and become friends with other people and just slowly let her go. Thinking about it, having been crying for the past couple of hours, she needed something to eat and something to drink.... maybe a coffee? she wasn't sure. The sadness had taken over her that day and she also needed to get out of the house. Heading down to where she knew the girl worked, Leilany made her way in once she got there and settled into her usual booth in the corner. Spotting Cami she waved to her with a soft smile (trying to mask the sad, but knowing it wouldn't work). Hopefully she'd come over at some point when she had the chance, and they could talk for a bit.

@emptycrypts wanted chad

chad couldn't believe almost a year had passed since leilani had given him a daughter. it felt surreal as he sat on the back porch with his child on his knee and the woman he loved beside him, looking out at the sunset as it fell over the land their children would grow up on. "i was already thinkin' about building a treehouse right there." he points, "and adding a zip-line. you know, for when they're bigger." as it stands, there's only one child, but chad would love to have a big family. he loves kids. "what should we do for baby girl's first birthday?"

Ironically, Leilani has thought a lot about leaving but hasn't actually put much thought into exactly where she would go. "I guess I've been more focused on the leaving part, I haven't really thought about the where..." she laughs dryly though her smile is absent. Now that the question has been put forward, where would that be? "I don't have family anywhere else so if I was to do it I'd be really starting over, y'know? I think I'd like to be near the coast, I'm not much of a city girl. Then I'd live in a cute little cabin or something, and get a local job...doing...uh..." her shoulders sag as her answer fell flat, exposing just how ill-prepared she was. Leilani would happily leave her parents behind but her little brother is just as vulnerable as she was. "...I don't know what I'd be good at so maybe if there's like a...uh...old record store, I'll just work in there too" She adds sourly, picking at her food as her appetite fades. "What about you?"

"I had a very good reason and, if you'd let me in, I'd be happy to tell you everything."

"Why? So you can 'die' again at your earliest convenience?"

[ just a small cw; i'm gonna be talking abt racist stereotypes, not very in depth but still ]

i said this on twitter but i'll say it here too: reverse1999 is NOT a perfect game and i think people should stop acting like it's "the exception" because of the devs doing the bare minimum when it comes to some of the representation.

like, it's okay to like these characters. hell, if you're part of the groups that they represent (indians, for example) then i'm not gonna tell you that you can't like them or find them decent representation. i also understand the feeling of "i take what i can get" when it comes to representation in media of marginalized groups.

but at the same time, i think it's important to acknowledge that there is genuinely criticisms to be had of this game and its way of handling non-east asian poc.

for one, there's only about 4 characters that have dark skin (i would not personally consider joe to be one of them but i'm counting him just bc i forgot to in my twt thread and also to just cover my bases.) kaalaa baunaa and kanjira do not have dark skin. has no one considered why this is???? at all???

and on the topic of kanjira, she also is a character full of orientalist stereotypes. i like kanjira, i think she's a sweet kid, but aside from that, she's written to be a thief, con artist and is illiterate and homeless. i'm not saying that that's not a reality for some kids, but the fact that she was deliberately written this way is kind of a red flag.

there's also some smaller things that people have pointed out like most of the representation in this game of those cultures being things like the characters naming off foods, or just saying small phrases (i.e. centurion talking about burritos and enchiladas, and leilani saying "aloha!") and not actually having many cultural references nor speaking a lot in their language

don't even get me STARTED on the lack of african or african american representation in this fuckin game.

again. i don't want to say that no one can like these characters. i don't want to say that people cannot relate to these characters, or that people can't think they're good representation. that's not my call especially not if you're part of the groups of ppl they're representing (i.e. latin americans, hawaiians, indians, etc.) but i think it is important to realize that like

well, for one, no group is a monolith. there are probably ppl who feel this way but either don't get heard or are too scared to say so.

and two, even if you're not a part of these groups, you can still recognize the flaws in something and acknowledge that, most likely, it's part of a bigger problem in society--colorism, orientalism, whatever. it's in many gacha games and will continue to be, and r1999 is not an exception that should be justified or ignored because "it's better than genshin impact"

The halls of the jedi temple are quiet for once, the golden glow of the midday sun streaming through the high windows seemingly making the carved walls shine. Leilani can't see it, but she can feel the warmth seep into the small spots of exposed skin and its nice, comfortable, and follows her as she walks the halls her arms filled with a couple scrolls.

She always seemed to know exactly where she was going, despite having only been at the temple for six years, something that often garnered praise from her jedi masters. She always had trouble explaining how she could feel the layout of the temple, the twists and turns whispered to her mind by the force, but it was apparently considered an impressive ability for a girl her age. She was ten after all, and soon she would be eleven.

As she stepped forward, an approaching aura brushed against her senses, and she picked up her pace, running up to her elder padawan.

❝ Uhm! Anakin wait-! ❞

Personally, the younger girl hadn't spoken to anakin more then twice in passing, but she knew that their master's were close and so maybe he might know what she didn't. Still, he was older then her, and talking to those older then her without master jayanti around was still a little nerve wracking.

❝ You wouldn't happen to have seen my master anywhere, would you? I uhm- I can't find her anywhere and I'm supposed to give her these scrolls- ❞

She lifted up the handful of scrolls in her arms, as if to demonstrate her conundrum.

@emptycrypts sent -> 🤝 Reach for my muse’s hand to hold it

the birthday party had gone off without a hitch. admittedly, there were a handful of gifts that chad had found questionable -- no doubt he and lani would be laughing about them later -- but he was happy. as the people they loved chatted and snacked around them, chad listened to an elder speaking, looking over at his lady when her hand reached out for his. he offered her his best smile, squeezing his fingers around hers, his heart so full of love.

"Alright, deal" She laughs. "But, I bet you'll want to stay longer once we're in there." As much amusement his paranoia was giving her, Leilani also didn't want Xavier to be completely uncomfortable. She tentatively reaches for his hand and squeezes it, smiling up at him. "You'll be fine. My friends don't bite, well, I don't think they do" then she tugs on his hand and continues toward their destination. "c'mon..."

[thickskll]

"oh, okay...good" leilani doesn't feel an inch of guilt for the relief she feels knowing that she isn't unknowingly needed upstairs - early finishes are sometimes too good to be true so she packed away her equipment a little too eagerly so she could retreat to her room. the other staff members pretty much keep to themselves outside of their work duties, leilani is no different and is hopeful that no one saw rahul enter her room. rahul gives off a feeling that's all too relatable to leilani, far too familiar for her to turn him away in favour of keeping her job. "uh...no, it's okay - you can stay. i was just, surprised that's all" she gestures for him to take a seat, a chair by her wardrobe then she plops down on her bed which is across from the seat. "hiding a royal happens to be my speciality" leilani smiles at him. "you don't have to talk about what's bothering you if you don't want to - i definitely do not envy all the responsibilities and expectations they set for you guys"

"no. no, that's okay. everything upstairs is fine, thank you." he bows his head, appreciative of her concern...not that he needed it. rahul throws a reassuring, yet slightly sad smile her way, before he's wandering into her room. perhaps he shouldn't be here. in fact, he knows he shouldn't be. an anxiety that he was unwelcome coursed through his frame, but he didn't know where else to go. feeling like a stranger, like an outcast in his own home. he'd found support within leilani. someone he could truly depend on. "i've - i...i would like to hide away for a while, if that is okay? coming here seemed like - well, it seemed like the most effective way of disappearing." he rubs at the back of his neck, turning to face her once again. "though, if you wish to be alone. don't worry about telling me to piss off. i'd understand it. i would leave, whatever makes you most comfortable." he reassures then, smiling once more. though it fades rather abruptly, once his gaze drops down to the floor.

A Woman Scorned

A hollow heart abandoned in our bed

Antique curtains drape the walls they adorn

Three more nights until we are wed

My vision is clouded, a romance stained red

My throat feels cut by the prick of a thorn

A hollow heart abandoned in our bed

My skin grows cold, despairing what lies ahead

My voice falls weak as my hopes are torn

Three more nights until we are wed

My lungs grasp for air as the oxygen has fled

My true love lost, forsaken to mourn

A hollow heart abandoned in our bed

Images of your oaths flood my head

Replaying the cassettes of vows sworn

Three more nights until we are wed

The fate of my betrothal left hanging by a thread 

The smell of vanilla and spice on your last shirt worn

A hollow heart abandoned in our bed

Three more nights until we are wed
