Anyone else noticed things

getting stolen

[Autocorrect: Misplaced via SUBJECT NAME'S own error on SUBJECT NAME'S home planet. Dualis does not accept financial or legal responsibility for lost property, including, but not limited to weaponry.]

between getting picked up and arriving?

Edit: Didn't type it, but that, I guess.
If anyone knows where to get replacements, that'd be helpful.

[Bullshit space magic.]

Diatium power cell.

[Whoosh.]

That's kind of insane.
What I had was just a sword.

[She still has one. She's just mad about not having two.]

It's fine. I'm a Jedi.

[Obviously.]

"Just" a sword or not, they shouldn't be taking personal property.

[She's from a place where everyone goes around visibly armed and swords are just not that dangerous in the scheme of things.]

Katherine Elizabeth Bishop if you're a Jedi I'm a moon princess. When were you planning on telling us you were here???

[What.]

Honored to meet you, Your Highness 👸

[What indeed.]

Cute. Come on, seriously, it's been literally like 8 months but I know a Bishop pun when I see one 😠

Your friend sounds witty and charming, but I'm really not them.

[The video feed switches on, showing a woman in Jedi robes who is not Kate Bishop. Also, both hands are visible when she shrugs, because she's levitating the phone with the Force.]

[Huh. Well, that's definitely not Kate. At least...probably not Kate. The teenager with the incredibly fluffy hair on the other end of the connection does his best not to look disappointed, but...well, it's kind of a bummer. For a minute there, he thought he'd gotten his BFF.]

...Oh. I guess you're not. You know, between the pun and the Star Wars references, I could have sworn you were Kate. Sorry about that.

[Revan's perceptive, but she's not going to call out a stranger about imperfectly hiding their emotions in a public conversation.]

"Star wars?" Which war?

[She knows what those words mean individually, but they don't make sense in context.]

You know, the mmmoh you don't. You're actually.

[The sentence he starts to say sure as heck isn't the sentence he ends with. Hoo boy. Uh...well. He's probably not breaking any universes, right? Right??? They're much tougher than that. And the one time Nida left the Iteration and went home, he didn't remember anything about his time there--probably the first and only time he's actually felt good about anything tied to that idea--so even if this Jedi lady goes home, she probably won't remember, either. Probably.]

Uh, where I'm from, they made a series of movies about the Jedi. Probably nothing like it actually was, you know, it was mostly about the Jedi almost totally dying out until one fallen-Jedi-turned-Sith-lord redeemed himself and brought balance to the Force again after decades of genocide, but uh. Anyway, that's Star Wars, and totally irrelevant forget I said anything.

So, you're a Jedi, what's that like?

[Yesss. Stick that landing, Kaplan.]

[Revan's eyes widen, but that's just a normal reaction to hearing about the near-extinction of the Jedi at the hands of the Sith, certainly not a moment of alarm that she might be recognized and have to do damage control about her past self's bad life choices. Fortunately, "himself" and "decades of genocide" put her out of the running quickly, so it's probably just some fictional drama with bad acting and worse "lightsaber" fighting.]

...Busy.

[Yes. Flawless subject change, Billy.]

[Look, they've probably also got lots of really florid dramas about Jedi in the Republic, too. It's probably fine.]

Uh, yeah. Guess it would be. Lots of diplomacy missions, bringing peace to the Galaxy and all that, right? Uh.

Sorry about your lightsaber. Sometimes stuff goes missing in these jumps between dimensions, it sucks but I wouldn't worry about it too much. A place like this has to have something pretty close, probably.

[They've got flying cars, why not laser swords?]

Hey, can I ask you something? Why did you pick that username?

[Revan grins.]

My ship's named the Ebon Hawk.

[And her sense of humor is awful.]

[Listen, her sense of humor may be awful, but that doesn't mean Billy's is much better. He might wrinkle his nose at the pun, but he's still smiling at it anyway.]

That's definitely right up Kate's alley. Her, uh. Nickname is Hawkeye, since she's an archer, and she's definitely so full of puns she could give Frank Castle a run for his money. Uh, he's a guy back home who goes by the Punisher, only he means it in the less lighthearted sense and more of a, uh. Bullets and explosions way.

Jedi? For serious!? Like, mind powers and telekinesis and all that stuff?

[Billy said they were only a MOVIE!]

Yes, mind powers and telekinesis and all that stuff 👉😎👉

And the TERRIBLE FUCKING WEAPONS?!

[Right, he's remembering what his problem with the movies is.]

[Well, that came out of nowhere.]

The what?

Lightsabers. Hyne damned double-bladed lightsabers. As a polearms instructor I'm offended at how readily your culture wants to dismember your trainees.
