((Luke meant to send this to just a few friends but he forgot to hit the encryption button so it's now a public post for the entire ship to see! You all just got invited to a party. Use this information wisely.

The actual party log will be going up in a bit.))

[Luke looks better than he has in a while. He's managed to sleep out the exhaustion and stress but of course it's difficult to near impossible to stop worrying about things around here. Behind him is the scenery of one of the rec rooms.]

Hey, guys. I get the feeling we could all use a break. There's some drinks and stuff in the rec room on the first level. Bring anything you want, alright? See you soon.

[Because everyone needs some time away from thinking about their imminent doom, right?

Luke seems to have put down his communicator and anyone who tries to reach him via this post won't be able to for several hours. Any responses that happen from Luke will be after the fact, if he replies at all. He might be feeling a bit sheepish.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Luke. What are you doing?

[It's the following morning before Luke manages to respond to this message. Late morning. He specifically switches to voice to keep Han from seeing just how groggy he looks. He drank a lot last night. It probably doesn't help much though, because he still sounds groggy.]

I was trying to get some friends together but-- uh, I guess I forgot to encrypt the message.

You had a wild night, huh kiddo? [he's almost proud of you, luke.]

[A short pause while Luke rubs his eyes and lets his brain process Han's question.]

Uh... yeah. It was-- I hadn't planned for it but it was fun.

[Only almost? Man, Luke will have to try harder next time. Of course the thing that might make Han really proud, the fact that Luke woke up with someone else in his bed, he won't be mentioning. At all. Ever.]

Did you ever make it?

[After several drinks he'd lost track of all the people who made an appearance so he honestly doesn't remember. Then again he doesn't remember a few things from last night.]

[see, if luke mentioned the other person in his bed, han might have a tear in his eye.]

Uh, no. I'm focused on my goals to get outta here kid. Look at you, partying around.

[roombas, he was stealing roombas.]

[Eyeroll. Han, you're fooling no one.]

I just wanted a night off to relax. That's important enough! Besides, how exactly are your roomba battles our ticket home?

I don't know what you're talking about, kiddo. Some guy has the roomba battles near my shuttle. [luke you blabber mouth!!!]

Uh huh. [Everyone knows and no one cares, Han.]

Well some guy knows how to have fun. I'd have thought you of all people would take advantage of some slacking off once in a while. [Or all the time.] Besides, you're one of the people I was going to filter that original message to you know.

[Luke thought you were his friend. Boo, you whore.]

You, slack off? What's the world coming to? Weren't you supposed to be super focused to become a Jedi?

[cultist. whatever, han supports luke.]

Besides, I was getting drinks with Padme talking about plans for the shuttles.

... You get drinks with my mother? [He's partway between weirded out and insulted. How come you've never gotten drinks with him, Han? What a bad friend. Also, woah, stop hanging out with his mom. That's weird.

He sighs and quickly moves on. Maybe he doesn't want to know about that.]

I can't train all the time. Besides, my father's not here anymore and there's only so much I can do on my own.

[In the background somewhere Biggs is in the room and can be heard laughing at the conversation*. Luke turns away from the comm and shushes him.]

Hey, let Han believe what he wants!

((*I got permission from World to have Biggs in there))

I'm not hanging out with your moth-

[wait for it - ]

Anakin was always super protective of her because -

He was

He knocked her up?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down -

She's your mother.

Let me tell you kid, you didn't get the looks.

...

[Luke's jaw is hanging by the time Han's done. He's having a hard time believing what he's hearing right now and he completely ignores the looks comment. He doesn't care much for your face either, Han and he's actually into men.]

Padmé. Kind of short with long, brown hair, brown eyes, looks a lot like Leia. Yes, she's our mother.

[... Really?]

You didn't know?

[Then the wheels start to turn and he thinks over what Han's been saying. Mentioning how Anakin was protective of her... getting drinks with her... not knowing who she was... Oh kriff.]

Wait. Han--... have you been hitting on her?!

Come to think of it, she does act a lot like the Princes-

Wait wait wait wait wait wait, what do you mean our mother?

Kid, need I remind you that she stuck her tongue down your throat and you were pretty pleased.

... Sister.

Your

Sister

I need a drink.

[LISTEN LUKE THERE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS]

[Lots of confusion. So much confusion.]

Han, what are you-- [No you know what, not going to ask about the tongue down the throat thing because that's either referring to his mother or Leia and he's not sure which and he probably doesn't want to know about it. Drop it, Luke. Knowing Han he's making stuff up.]

Yeah, I think you need a drink but not with my mother this time.

[Luke sounds quite annoyed by now and he ends the transmission.]

I get the feeling that you're not wrong. [There's also a level of familiarity about his address that makes her a little uncertain.] You need some help or anything?

[Luke never responded to this message but if he ever sees Alexis around the ship he'll likely keep his eyes to the floor in vague embarrassment.]
