✧ 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.

It's not on any planet any of us is familiar with.

[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]

Us is the people who wound up here even though we weren't planning to.

[Basically everyone]

I just don't want you to be out in the cold on your own.

A few hundred. About half a dozen who would be familiar with the same worlds we are.

[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]

[Fortunately there's not a force in the damn universe that could compell him to lay a hand on her.]

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.]

[He stands there in shock a moment, making faces not entirely unlike a fish. What just happened? What was all of this?

But then he picks up the discarded blaster. She'll want it eventually.]
