OTHER BIT OF AGENT POSTING THIS MORNING!

I was thinking about the scene before you go fight Jadus and you talk to Zhorrid this morning after playing it last night. Kinda decided Arcturus has a soft spot of sympathy for her. DEFINITELY not at the beginning, but as he hears more and more and especially when she reveals the part about the singing it hits.

They both got hurt badly by the Sith in different ways: Arcturus being trained to be an Agent since he was a child due to an infraction he doesn't remember (freeing his slave parents but also proving himself smart enough to be of use to the Empire). Zhorrid being trained to be nothing more than a tool and a distraction for the Council. Never meant to actually succeed in the slightest.

Unsure if that's going to go anywhere, but I enjoyed the progression of softness this playthrough and just REALLY like writing Arcturus. Characters that can remain somewhat kind despite the shit they see/go through are my jam. :')

From playing agent last night:

Arcturus about Jadus: ...I could shoot him.

Watcher Two: NO!

...I love playing my slightly unhinged LS agent who isn't a fan of the Sith. The council DEF had reason to want him dead/put the code phrase in his head. :')

Me @ me: Shimo, you still haven't finished the Sith lore headcanon doc. The Brain Goblins: ZAKUUL LORE DOC! ZAKUUL LORE DOC! ZAKUUL LORE DOC! ...They're winning guys. They're WINNING.

Galactic Standard Time Measurement

60 Seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Galactic Standard Calendar

5 days = 1 week

7 weeks = 1 month

35 days = 1 month

368 days = 1 year

10 months + 3 Fete (Festival) weeks + 3 holidays = 1 year

Fete/Festival Weeks

New Year Fete Week = first five days of the new year (takes place before the first month)

Festival of Life =  five days between the sixth and seventh months. It was marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.

Festival of Stars =five days between the ninth and tenth months of the year that celebrates interstellar space travel. It was marked by vacations to other worlds most often.

Days of the Week

Primeday (first day of the week)

Centaxday (second day)

Taungsday (third day)

Zhellday (fourth day)

Benduday (fifth/last day of the week)

The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc. 

Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.

NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.

Replaying Agent to record Arcturus' cutscenes and all I can think about is the Knight/Agent solidarity in constantly having shitty days and no break from it. :'D ...I'm so sorry Arcturus and Sorrel both.

*Bullying Prevention Day at school*

Teacher: Nadras, what would you do if one of your classmates viciously teased you again and again? Nadras: Oh, that’s easy. I’d take a pencil out of my pencil case— Teacher: To write something to your teacher? Nadras: —make sure that it’s really sharp, and ram it into their eye at full tilt! My mom always says the pencil is mightier than the sword because they can’t outlaw bringing pencils to school! Teacher: *internal screaming*

Arcann: We both look very handsome tonight. Saris: You know, if you'd just said that I looked handsome, I would have said, "So do you." Arcann: I couldn't take that chance.

One of my favorite underutilized bits of Star Wars worldbuilding is how feelings literally soak into the physical world around you, if you’re Force-sensitive. Sometimes in really awful ways–Maul’s rage is still radiating off the walls in the Theed hangar 30 years later, because nobody goes in there to put new feelings into the walls, Luke can still feel Rey’s imprint on the meditation stone on Ahch-To after she leaves, Anakin and Ahsoka can still hear the screams of the dying in the Jedi hangar after the bombing–but that would also be there in good ways. Imagine walking into the Room of a Thousand Fountains where you touch a stone bench where Master Yoda was just meditating on, you’re not even psychometric, you can just feel the warmth and calm he left behind while he sat there.  Imagine walking into the the Temple gardens where a Jedi Master was watering their space azalea bushes and you can feel their contentment radiating off the walls.  Imagine walking into the refectory and feeling last week’s younglings class’ excitement over their upcoming field trip, how golden and glowing it is in the Force.  Imagine walking into the Jedi Temple aviary, where they keep their pet birds, hearing the gentle cooing of the convors, but also feeling the connection all the Jedi before you have had with these animals, the joy that’s been permeated into the floor and walls with how much they’ve loved their time spent there. Imagine how being a psychic space wizard that can soak feelings into the world around you would change how you interact with that physical world.  Imagine how giving a river stone isn’t just giving a neat rock, but giving someone the ability to hold affection and care literally right there in your hand, because you focused on putting all those feelings into the rock beforehand.  Imagine how art performances would change, if you’re psychic and your audience is psychic, how you can literally hand them feelings or sit them on a cushion that you put a specific feeling into it, when you get to the climatic part of your play. Imagine how being able to put feelings into physical objects and then hand them to someone would play out!!!!
