✧ 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.

Re: [Video]
Prove it.
[She's not sure how he'll do that, but if he's really a Jedi, then he's okay. Right?]
: [Video]
Very well.
[You are asking for it young lady. Children, even if they are siblings, do not question the Jedi Grandmaste and get off without some sort of cheeky response.
So, he waves his hand at the book, and Leia's feet will just start leaving the ground. She can kick and squirm but it's like running in a wheel.
And then he'll send her a little telepathic message.]
Believe me now?
[Video]
Her feet do start to kick out and her hold on the journal slips, dropping it on the ground.]
Yes, I believe you. Please put me down now. Please.
[Her voice is as calm as she can get it, despite the slight panic she feels at being treated this way.]
[Video]
You did ask for it, you know.
[He's not smug, no. Not this guy.]
[Video]
I didn't think you'd pick me up off of the ground.
[Her face is very close to the datapad, since she's picked it up from the floor.]
I've never heard of that being possible before. Can you move other things as well?
[Video]
[He gives her what he hopes is a reassuring look.]
It's something most Jedi can do. The Force gives us the power to help protect people.
[And tease bratty kid siblings.]
[Video]
My dad told me that you have to be born with special powers to be a Jedi, but...There aren't any more.
[You've proven your point. She's aware that she's less than regal, thanks ever so much.]
[Video]
Well, there are some of us around. We mostly stay hidden, though. It's safer for us, because the Emperor thought we were at threat and had a lot of his men try and kill us.
no subject
That...makes sense. The Emperor and his cronies are disgusting. The Republic was much better, I've heard.
no subject
[He's almost to the library now, sis...]
How old are you, now?
no subject
[She's hiding in the back corner and not coming out for anyone. So...]
I am ten standard years old.
no subject
Ten? Well, you're awfully opinionated for a ten year old. It must come from your parents.
no subject
no subject
No, I didn't say anything about it being wrong, did I?
no subject
No, but you seemed to imply that I was incapable of having my own opinion on the matter of free will. It sounded like you meant that I was parroting my parents' opinions as my own.
no subject
[Luke smiles at her faintly, sending her a warm, soothing sensation through the Force. It's a calming technique he uses on people quite often, just to make them more at ease.]
Are you injured at all, Leia?
no subject
No, Master Skywalker, I'm fine. Just...I'm a little hungry.
[And she could use some clothes that fit.]
no subject
Well, I'm happy to take you to the restaurant or the bakery. We can get you some better shoes, while we're at it. There's snow on the ground, so you'll need them.
no subject
I met a man earlier who said that the fact that I don't have credits is okay. Is that true?
[Because she'd really like some pants.]
no subject
[He gives her a little look.]
Was that man's name Han Solo, by chance?
no subject
[She barely let him talk to her before running off.]
no subject
[Surely she'd recognize that.]
no subject
[Of course. Corellians weren't unheard of on Alderaan for visits.]
Is he a friend of yours?
no subject
no subject
He doesn't look like a hero. But, he must be if he's a friend to a Jedi.
