✧ Third Rebellion ✧ [Action/Text] - Post Luceti University

Action - Open to all on 9/13 and 9/14
[Since things at house 46 calmed down somewhat back in mid-July, Leia has settled into an easy, relaxed schedule. Well, relaxed by her standards. There were few deviations and distractions. Until the recent events of the entire enclosure turning into what appeared to be an university. In a way, she found the changes comforting. A happy family. Friends. Activities to keep her busy. Han.

But there are things about it that leave her unsettled still. How easily her mind was manipulated, for one. She finally understands on some level what Luke tried to explain to Han and herself when they were at Pagoda. It's not quite the same, not by a long shot, but to be given an opportunity where she and Anakin could get along without the baggage of their lives back home is like poking an open wound that she has been trying to steadily ignore.

She's gotten a little better at controlling the turmoil that her emotions normally cause by shoving it to an empty corner of her mind and pressing forward with things, but Leia knows that they'll have to be dealt with sooner rather than later. She's just not ready right this second to jump up and do that. So, instead of spending hours at the library or exploring the outer buildings of the enclosure, she's looking at the empty houses and apartment buildings. The rest of her schedule, she follows faithfully over the weekend. Until Sunday evening, when she has a few written messages to send out to some people before going home.]


Text to Sokka -
It was nice to finally meet you face-to-face, Sokka. If you'd like, I wouldn't mind sparring with you from time to time now that we are back to normal.

Text to Han -
When I get home tonight for dinner, can we talk in private first?

Text to Syre -
I find that after speaking to you for a week that I would like to get to actually know you. Are you available to meet me tomorrow morning? Also, are you skilled with fencing? I'd like to actively train in a sword art.

Text to Ami, Helios and Lee -
For the next week, can we suspend the cooking lessons? I have something else I have in mind for those times.

It was both a pleasure to meet you and entirely painful to meet you. Though I probably did earn that last half.

I'm all for sparring with you. I could use the distraction. I could also use the more conventional training sessions. Though do you mind if we use swords instead of foils? Fencing may be elegant, but somehow I don't feel like it'll look all that threatening to someone while at war.

Well of course, knowing I hurt someone that was nice to me makes me feel so much better...

And you've never used a sword before? How were you so GOOD then? This place will never make sense.

Well, I suppose I could give you a few pointers. All of my other friends have been teachers of sorts; I suppose I could try teaching you a bit of swordplay if you wanted.

Well, it's certainly not the only weird thing that's unexplainable about the shift.

And I don't mind at all. Believe me, I think I'll relish having a normal sparring partner here.

Hmmm... from what I've seen, you seem to be quite the leader. Or at least you captained the team well enough. Is that something that can be taught?

Well, public speaking is something that I'm not really all that good at just yet, so that would be handy. But also... I want to be a guy who can lead others into battle and to be the face they know they can rely upon in the thick of things.

Hmmm, I agree about the respect part. I think for the most part it's about confidence when I'm asking others to do something dangerous. I helped out in the invasion of the Fire Nation, sure, but seeing so many of my dad's soldiers suddenly listening to my invasion plans? I honestly felt like I suddenly had no idea what my plan was. My mind went blank.

That in and of itself would probably help a lot. I definitely want to get more confidence at public speaking. And I'd like to get to more involved in this crazy Luceti place too, maybe just do more than make weapons for us.

Hmm. I can understand a busy schedule. I've been trying to keep busy myself, though my schedule isn't anywhere all that strict. I don't think anything more than once a week should be necessary?

[That's definitely a proposal and a question all in one.]
theideaguy: (unsure)

[Thank goodness this wasn't video. Sokka would have went bugeyed by this. In fact, he did. His daily schedule... is not like that. Granted, he's no stranger to making detailed schedules, though usually that's only when he's got a long-term objective in mind. He's not sure whether to be in awe of or afraid of that routine. But thankfully, it's just text. So he has a chance to recover before he actually starts writing back.]

That is quite the schedule you've got. I could probably find some time to swing by around then. If you wanted to do twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons would be the best for me, and we could play it by ear what we do each time? And then we'll just skip next week since you're busy.

Work for you?

[Let's take a look at Sokka's schedule to see if there's anything to schedule around. Oh wait, he doesn't have one. Well really, now he does, and there's one solid appointment on the books, and that's the one with Leia.]

I'd say I don't have anything to schedule around, but, you know how this place goes. Weird things happen. I'll definitely let you know as soon a I can.

Then it's settled! I'll catch you later this week.

Oh, and believe me, I don't need the reminder about how often the stuff that happens here isn't good.

I don't know if I can exactly promise that, but I'll do what I can.

[Yeah, he's a pessimist. But he'll try to be cheerful, for Leia's sake.]
