Look, I know there was a ton of family drama with messed up timelines to get through.

[This is quite possibly the understatement of the century to anyone who has had to deal with a Skywalker whether they know how many people are connected to that family or not. But the feed pans to a strange mass.]

But did everyone just forget to warn me that sometimes people just fall asleep and end up in a weird eye covered cocoon thing? Maybe before my brother wound up in one?

[She takes a deep breath. She should be in better control than this. She's a Jedi, Jedi are calm, not irritable]

I should meditate...

It's hard to imagine that. Winter would never tell us something like that.

[And everyone else is dead, more or less]

Wait, you knew Mom when she was a kid?

[demonicbeauty]

You could say that, yes.

[She smiles wryly.]

I've been told more times than I care to count that I look just like your grandmother.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[His grin gets broader and more openly affectionate.] Hmm, it's an Obi-wan saying.

And I guess I can't really argue with that. I'm more used to being the youngest. But it doesn't matter how old the rest of my family is, relative to me, or objectively, I still like to look after them.

[jedies]

I did. We spent time together when she was ten years old.

[forcechanic]

[She studies the image briefly]

Huh. I guess you do.

[demonicbeauty]

[As much as Ariadne hates it, it's better to get out in front of the whole thing right away.]

I've met her. I can understand the confusion.

[forcechanic]

[She nods]

Family is important. That's how we've gotten through every wild thing the galaxy threw at us.

[forcechanic]

And she called you old?

[forcechanic]

I only just met her here. I guess it... didn't click at first.

Is this just another weird SLeeper thing like little brothers getting older and taller?

[demonicbeauty]

I wish I knew.

[She sucks in air between her teeth.]

The truth of it is...this isn't even my natural state. It's all some sort of strange coincidence.

[jedies]

She did. Which, to her credit, I must have seemed like it.

[forcechanic]

Still, I can't believe she said it.

Winter never tells that kind of story about her as a kid...

[jedies]

Who is Winter?

[occultfan]

You would think people would want others about that because of what it is.

[Ada wasn't as badly freaked out about such things because to her they are cool.]

But the upside is while they are in there they are perfectly safe if that helps?

[forcechanic]

I'm glad he'll be okay.

He's still in so much trouble for not warning me.

[forcechanic]

Squid related not your natural state or...

[You can never be sure here]

[forcechanic]

She was our nanny growing up. She grew up in the palace with Mom.

[demonicbeauty]

Uh, not the squid.

[She laughs, a little nervous.]

I'm an Alastrian. We're a demonoid species. I was just trained to look Human.

[jedies]

[ huh. ]

I see. I can't say I knew the ins and outs of Alderaan.

Don't lie, your entire family thrives on the drama. I think your grandfather would spontaneously combust if he didn't engage in histrionics at least once a month.

[Maul gets to be off in that nebulous corner of not being directly related to anyone in this mess but somehow being involved all the same.]

[forcechanic]

Okay, a shape shifter.

[These things happen]

And the face you settled on just happened to look like Grandmother?

<ren>

[dyaddyissues]

[ Kylo is very glad he reads through the conversation before responding. Another half sibling, it seems.

Ugh. ]

He didn't mention he had a sister.

Regardless, this tends to happen, apparently. Should wear off in some time.

[forcechanic]

You've been busy.

[Doing what, she can't tell him, but she knows he was on Tatooine most of the time until her uncle came along.]

[forcechanic]

[He might be right, but she can hardly say it]

I can't tell you what he was like before all this, but the weird time stuff can't help.

[forcechanic]

I've been here for about a month.

[She's sure it just never came up\

Do we know anything about why it happens, or just that it will stop?
