Long Rambling Story: One

[crankyoldcoot]

I'm too old for this....

[An annoyed sigh is heard in the background, someone has gotten fed up with yelling]

For the last time woman, I am not married to you. Now if you'll just point me towards the nearest com-system....

[More muttering in the background before the phone is picked up and talked into properally]

Hello?...what is this blasted thing

Comments

[littledroid]

[!!!!!

Highly excited and somewhat distressed chiming and warbling over the phone. Jolee?!]

[crankyoldcoot]

[Moves the phone away from ear at the loud noise. A noise that sounded...like a droid?...a familiar sounding droid. Puts phone back to ear]

T3?

[littledroid]

[Affirmative chiming! Starts going on in droidspeak before remembering the translator. Right.]

designtation: T3-M4 affirmative

confirm identity Jolee Bindo

[crankyoldcoot]

[Long moment of staring at the phone. Since when did T3 talk? After another moment of wondering he shakes himself back into reality, or where ever they were and focusses on the last bit]

Confirm identity? What, did someone forget to tell me we had codes now?

[bustydefense]

I've never thought about what planet we might be on...

And we don't know how to leave it, yet.

[crankyoldcoot]

Really, well as far as I can figure we're not on any planet I've seen before. And I've seen planty of planets in my day.

[bustydefense]

We're led to believe this is Earth, at least.

[crankyoldcoot]

Earth? Is that in the Republic?

[serenitysheart]

Well, far as anybody 'round here knows, this planet's Earth-that-was. Or some strange version of it. Hard ta be sure.

[crankyoldcoot]

Earth? Never heard of it. Is that in the outer rim?

[serenitysheart]

Nah, there's plenty of planets near the outer rim, but Earth-that-was ain't one of 'em. Ya must be from a different 'verse!

[crankyoldcoot]

A different universe? Well that's new. I don't think we had a planet Earth in the universe I'm from. At least not one anyone had ever heard of.

[spacepeach]

I'm afraid that there's no way to leave this place, sir.

[crankyoldcoot]

Really. Do we know how they're keeping us here?

[spacepeach]

No one's been able to figure it out yet.

[crankyoldcoot]

I see.

Any people going around in black capes muttering about the dark side of the force?
