The Vanquish

She'd certainly been awake a moment ago. And she'd certainly been on a different ship. With some difficulty, she manages to sit up and swing her feet over the edge of the bunk. One hand presses against her belly as she looks around. This is very concerning.

Getting to her feet, she steps out into the corridor of the strange ship. Decision made. There's no point in sitting around and waiting. She sets out to search the ship for an owner... or answers.

To market, to market.

They're only there for another week or so, then they'll be back where the others had come from. Needless to say, she's going to need more clothes than what she was wearing. She can be found flitting between the various markets in the nearby vicinity, stocking up on clothing, accessories, toiletries, and anything else she might need. Also luggage. She'll definitely need some luggage to pack it all in.

If she sees someone who looks like they don't quite fit in (either by their clothes or the way they're looking at everything) she'll approach them with a smile. "Hello. If I might be so bold: are you from Agra 10?"

About the City (Near the end of the month) CW for beginning labor

Once Padme had learned about the unlimited credit they'd been given, she knew she had to put it to good use. Once she'd bought all of the things she would need, she bough out several markets worth of clothes, food, and other useful items. Hiring some people and droids to help, she had them all boxed up and sent to lower-income areas of the city. She'd lived there long enough to know where it would do the best good. Things had changed in 900 years, but not that much.

Holding her belly, she gestures to a droid. "No, no. That box goes over there with the crates of food going to CoCo Town." The droid beeps and toddles off.

As it leaves, Padme frowns, swaying a little. A protocol droid approaches her, "Are you quite alright? Perhaps you should sit."

Padme nods, "Yes. Yes I think that's a good idea."

IT'S TIME! (Near end of the month) (Closed to Obi-Wan. Anyone else can sit in the waiting room.) CW: Birth (non graphic)

Padme cries out in pain, reaching out, searching for Obi-Wan's hand. "Obi-Wan... please don't leave me. I can't...." She cries out again. "I can't do this alone!"

A Jedi healer smiled kindly at Padme. "You're doing fine. You all are."

Wildcard!

((Do you want to hang with the Senator and don't like any of these prompts? Let me know! You got to know her during one thread and want to do a second one coming to visit her and the twins? GO FOR IT! You do you, I'm not going to stop you. As always I'm eternalferret and SupahFerret@0368 ))

"Well you sure sound like a good politician! I think I'd vote for you." Cayde laughs.

"And you can admit that things get tedious. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with hearings but I tell you, Zavala will talk at length about details no one really cares about for plans that usually don't hold up in the long run. Me, I'm definitely a doer. All that time they spend talking about plans, I'd rather be putting it towards action. So much more productive."

[no_applause]

She laughs, smiling broadly. "Well I appreciate the support."

His sentiment gets a nod. Oh how often had she wished she could just do instead of sitting in a committee? "I've known a few people who feel the same way. I've been known to find ways around endless discussions, myself, on occasion. But I have to put my faith in the system. Without it, we'd just have anarchy."

[deal_me_in]

The Exo's own nod isn't as sold on the course of action Padme says she adheres to, but he isn't disagreeing on that point. He knows there's got to be some order. He just feels that the discussion part isn't the way to solve everything.

"I wouldn't go so far as to promote anarchy, but sometimes the system needs a slap upside the head to remind people that just talking about things doesn't always solve problems."

[no_applause]

That gets him a sly smile. "Sometimes it's just a matter of working within the system to give it that slap in such a way that people don't realize it's happened."

Not like she's ever done that before, nooooooo.

[deal_me_in]

Cayde shakes a finger at her, grinning again. "Oh, you are dangerous, little lady. I like you already."

[no_applause]

She laughs, grinning. It's nice to not have to play the senator for once. She can just be Padme and not Queen or Senator Amidala. It's a role she's going to have to get used to.

"I'll take that a a compliment. And I rather like you, too, Cayde. I look forward to getting to know you better."

[deal_me_in]

"Well of course it's a compliment!" he can't help but laugh in turn. The Exo's grin continues to hold, and he looks at her, amused. "I apologize ahead of time if you fall in love with me."

[no_applause]

That gets another laugh. Oh he's a bold one. She definitely likes him, he reminds her of others she knew back home.

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind."

[deal_me_in]

Laughs are good. They'll get along just fine. Giving her a wink at that, Cayde tosses the multi-tool in his hand idly catching it. "Well, I'd better pay for this thing before I stress the seller out any more," he smirks. "Don't let me distract you too much from your plans. We'll all be heading back to the same place either way."

[no_applause]

She nods. "Of course. It's been a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure I'll see you around."
