#tbh it's so funny but i think lockup and uj are like. two sides of similar coins

hey, eh, if you wanna, I'd be interested in Nocte meeting mister 'I show now human reaction to things' Lockup? Idk how that would happen, but I'd love to see Nocte's thoughts, they're very fun to read >:D or, if you're down for it, literally anything about Bastra. His growing up, his friends and relations (I vaguely remember Obes the Kenobes somewhere?) or how he you think he'd react to Jackal. Ehhh, yeah, only if you wanna n have time n fun with it!

hiiii hmhmhmhm thinking thinking

since Lockup isn't on Coruscant very often and Nocte generally steers clear of the Temple, it would probably be kind of hard for their paths to cross 🤔 but it could definitely happen for the sake of I Would Like To See It lol so I just finished scrolling your Lockup tag and fell in love with him all over again, and I think Nocte would actually have mad respect for his commitment to not sugarcoating and being honest regardless of who he's talking to. like if Nocte saw him completely shut Anakin down, he'd probably figure out a way to gift him a bottle of champagne and an invite over if he wants to share it or something djdbdjd

they would probably never successfully talk about anything emotionally charged because they both stonewall the topic immediately, but that's fine they can just shoot the shit and complain about the war and whatnot

(this got long so I'm putting the rest under the cut jshddj)

and Bastra! my dearly beloved! so he's from Dathomir and lived there until he was like 6, when Dooku scooped him up (at the Urgent request of his village) and brought him to Coruscant. he and Sifo-Dyas made a case for him to the Council, got him accepted into the Order despite mixed levels of resistance from the Council, and kept an eye on him while he was growing up. Sifo took him as a Padawan once he was old enough and Dooku basically stood around providing "supplemental education" (read: micromanaging and pushing makashi unconditionally) while pretending he wasn't actually interested in helping train him

hmhm relationships! yeah you remember right! he's buddies with Obi-Wan and Quinlan and Luminara. when he's older, he meets Omura Vane (@certified-anakinfucker' Jedi OC) and promptly takes on a big bro role to it. he only ever takes one Padawan, and I'm kind of in the middle of overhauling her story rn oopsie but that's his kid and he loves her dearly. uhhh he's on decent terms with the Guard (Temple and Corrie), chatty with the upper command structure of the 7th Sky, and very close - basically siblings - with Eesla Lunelle (@dilf-archivist's Jedi OC). he's also in a long term relationship with Jaro Tapal and terribly fond of little Cal Kestis by proxy. have you noticed a trend of being soft for kids yet? 😅

[takes a breath]

whew. sO he would probably get along with Jackal! he's the type to stay loyal to people moreso than institutions and it seems like Jackal feels similar. Bastra definitely butts heads with certain colleagues in the Order, but it's mostly because their morals and values clash. Mundi (derogatory), for example. regardless. he would definitely recognize the way Jackal treats their troops and the way they see Jackal as an honorary buir and decide that Jackal's one of the Good Ones. I'd definitely be interested in hammering out their dynamic if you've got thoughts!
