✧ Fifth Rebellion ✧ Shift-ing Perceptions [Action/Video]
Action - Midmorning
[This new Luceti is, honestly, a much nicer cage than the one she remembers from before the time traveling experience, but it is still a cage. Growing up as the Crown Princess of Alderaan, Leia has known gilded cages a time or two.
And hated them.
Now that she is nearing twenty-five, her opinion has changed very little. Cages equate to a form of slavery in her mind. True, now that she's older, she's learned that one's role in life might not always be stuffy or confining. One's thought process going into the who thing does determine how it works out, after all.
But as she walks through the streets of this cage, it makes her thoughts turn back to other times. Times where she and Winter would run around the Royal Palace of Alderaan as little girls, visiting Neena, sneaking out of the palace complex to play with people her aunts would never have approved of. (Proof positive that she's always gone out of her way to associate with people of all kinds, no matter what.)
Her mind wanders a little, but her eyes still watch for any danger as she enters the forests of the enclosure. She is not, however, expecting to be caught up in one of the Natural Shifts that still take place. Instead of the woman many of the village will be used to seeing, there is a girl of ten, all long, brown hair, brown eyes and the largest scowl on her pretty face as she swims in the white dress and coat she'd been wearing before. The blaster she's had with her until now lies at her feet, ignored in the face of other issues.]
This isn't the school.
[Her voice is strong and severe, despite the high pitch and youth in it.]
I don't remember there being forests like this nearby. Hello? Is someone there? HELLO?
Video - Much Later
[Hello, Luceti, this is your tiny space princess and she is pissed.]
To those who've removed me from my school and home, know that your efforts are useless. My family will never give in to your demands and you will only be calling down the wrath of one of the Ancient Houses of Alderaan. We might be a planet of pacifists, but we will not cave to barbarism or petty kidnappers.
My suggestion is that you return me at once.

Action
She doesn't recognize the newcomer, but he seems to know her somehow.]
I seem to be lost. Can you help me please?
[Politeness goes farther than attitude. It's something she's been trying lately, after all the years of her aunts, Sabé and mother telling her that repeatedly.]
Action
Everyone feels a bit lost when they get here.
[Or... get suddenly de-aged. He feels a bit lost himself right now.]
What do you need help with?
[One thing is obvious]
We can find you some clothes that actually fit.
[No way being in a grown woman's clothes can be comfortable]
no subject
I don't have any credits to pay you with, sir.
[She's aware that she could bebfacing one of her kidnappers-for what else could explain what's going on-but she needs more information before throwing around accusations. (Thank you, Sabé, for the diplomacy training.)]
I don't know where we are or how I got here.
no subject
[Well isn't this an improvement over their actual first meeting?]
We were all in the same position when we first got here.
[Okay, not quite the same position. Mostly they hadn't already been here and suddenly changed ages dramatically. But that wasn't the most important detail.]
We're not far from the village. It's called Luceti, but no one's really sure how we got here.
no subject
I've never heard of this Luceti. Is it located on one of the Outer Rim planets?
no subject
[Because that sounds believable]
I know I sound like I'm pulling your leg, but this is a really weird place.
[And that's without going into the time thing]
no subject
[Do you know what you sound like to a scared little girl? A lunatic.
She pulls the big jacket around her tighter and takes a step back. The blaster on the ground comes into view. And she takes another step back. The clothes and shoes are cumbersome, but it's cold and she doesn't know where her own clothes have gone.]
What do you want?
no subject
[Basically everyone]
I just don't want you to be out in the cold on your own.
I hate phone tags. They are evil.
[And why are you telling her this? Kidnappers don't generally tell their victims this much, that she knows firsthand. Still, she doesn't trust this man and she looks around for the nearest way to escape him with her bulky clothing encumbering her way.]
I don't know you. You could be some sort of murderer for all I know. There's a weapon at your belt, after all, and one on the ground too.
[She can run, right? There are plenty of trees and she can hide in a small place if he tries to touch her.]
no subject
[He said strange place. He gestures down at the blaster on the ground, leaving his own on his belt. Where it will stay barring anything attacking them.]
Do you know how to use that?
[He can't remember exactly how old she was when her dad made sure she got lessons]
no subject
Not that she's sure what evil should look like.]
N-no. If I did, I wouldn't be in this situation, now would I?
[Yes, Leia, antagonize the armed, creepy guy. Smart move there, dummy.]
no subject
Don't try to fire it if you don't know, then. You might get hurt. But I promise I'm not going to use either weapon.
I'll even put mine down.
[Hey, he stopped sleeping with it under his pillow because of spooking children.]
no subject
I wouldn't try to. I'm not stupid enough to use a weapon I've not been trained on.
[When he mentions touching his blaster, she pulls the long skirt around her legs up as high as she can get it and takes off. She sounds like a small heard of rancor, she's sure, but if she doesn't get away from him and towards some of the other captives he spoke about before, she doesn't know what will happen. At least this way she's not waiitng for him to attack her anymore.
Han, be a doll and collect her blaster? She'll want it when she's an adult again. <3]
no subject
But then he picks up the discarded blaster. She'll want it eventually.]
