WHO: Hera and Y O U
WHERE: Various
WHEN: The first few days after Hera's arrival, Jan 4-7 or so
WHAT: Hera adjusts. Or pretends to. Or actually just tries to sneakily figure out what's actually going on here, either/or.
WARNINGS: none as of yet


001. Exploring

Naturally, Hera's first thought upon being kidnapped (again) was that this was some sort of new ploy by the Empire. Maybe they'd developed a new way of getting information from dissidents?

But the more she sees and hears, the less likely that seems. Oh, sure, some of the Empire's worst are devious, even cunning, but by and large, they're not imaginative. Why be subtle, or use trickery, when there's brute force and truth serum?

So, okay, she's probably not somehow imprisoned on an Imperial Star Destroyer. That leaves the story she was actually given, or... what? Hera means to find out, and to that end, she is exploring every inch of this ship, this Eluvio, that she can get away with. She might pretend to be on a cleaning crew or something, to get into a room here or there. If nothing else, the more she knows about this ship, the better equipped she'll be to - run away from it the first chance she gets.

002. Shopping district

"You expect me to what?" she shouts at the unsuspecting shop owner. Incredulous. Her voice rising, angry, sharp. "Let me make one thing clear, you pile of blurrg droppings: I am no one's model, or dancer, or pretty piece of furniture."

The tirade continues for approximately eight minutes, before Hera storms out of the clothing shop and into the shopping district, ready to glare daggers at anyone who might even think about putting her in a dress against her will.

003. Atrium

Truth be told, the Ghost feels pretty lonely to Hera. She's glad to have it with her, she supposes. If nothing else, it'll probably end up being her getaway vehicle. It's hers, and she couldn't do without it. But it's also empty now. It's just her. Not even Chopper is around to liven things up a little, like in the old days before she met Kanan. It's depressing, so she has to find someplace else to spend time quietly. The Atrium fits the bill relatively well. The zen garden even reminds her vaguely of the province on Ryloth where she grew up.

Hera's not big on meditation - that's really Kanan's thing. But she finds herself sitting, watching the calm waters. Whatever this situation is that she's in, she's going to have to get herself out. Make plans. Find allies. She's done it before, she can manage it again. She has to get back to her family.

"Deep space travel's probably pretty new to us by comparison. Two hundred years, give or take, so all things considered it hasn't really been that long."

Definitely not long enough for humans to forget about Earth, or for the planet to die out or become uninhabitable.

"I'd say this is pretty beyond the limits of our galaxies. A whole other universe entirely, and all that. It must make us some kind of pioneers, huh?"

Jim raises his eyebrows a little at her, then smiles as he nods. "Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it?"

It's such a normal thing for him, he's never really stopped to think about it before. But it really is impressive to think of all the advancements they've achieved in his universe in such a short amount of time.

"I can't say that's the same for me. I've actually come into contact with an alternate reality myself, before coming here. Or rather, someone from that reality came into contact with mine. So I do know it's not that unlikely, even if it takes a lot to manage something like this." So many people, from so many different places, all converging into one. More than just a time travel incident creating a ripple effect.

"Yes," Jim offers with a smile, looking every bit serious even as he smiles.

"I've met an older version of my first officer. During his lifetime, he knew another alternate version of me, as well as of several other people that also exist in my own reality."

"Confusing doesn't even begin to cover it." And Jim hasn't even mentioned the mind meld, which was by far one of the strangest and most intense experiences in his life. That was a whole other level of trippy, honestly. "I'm sure it was even stranger for him... seeing all of us again, so much younger than he remembered."

Jim chuckles, shaking his head. "You'd think so, right? But no. The universe always finds ways to keep you on your toes, apparently. Sadly that's not always a good thing."

"Is there ever a good reason to get snatched up from your world and brought to another?" Even if it's an accident, the whole phenomenon screams danger to him. It's almost eerie how peaceful his first few days here have been, though. "One way or the other, guess we'll find out sooner or later."
