Naboo [Monday, Fandom time]

[momslilassassin]

Ben and Ender were still hosting houseguests, and since the speeder hadn't been destroyed the day before, it meant it was time for Cultural Opportunities In Town!

...or Twi'leks dancing around poles.

Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to.

There was plenty to see in Theed before then, of course, as it would be kind of tacky to watching dancing girls at lunch. Or so Ben assumed.

Day 4 - Theed [day]

[momslilassassin]

There's an art museum! There's a royal palace to tour! There's a memorial to Ben's grandmother he's never mentioned to anyone! There's astral alien stuff to buy as holiday gifts to freak people out!

Ender had made it fairly clear: he was fine with going to see the Twi'leks at night if he could get some sight-seeing of his own in. (Nevermind that he was going to see the Twi'leks mostly to keep Tony, Topher and Ben out of trouble - he wasn't admitting to that part)

He'd already visited the university earlier in the week, so now he'd hit up a museum. Next stop: the palace.

Well. As soon as he'd taken a look at that memorial over there...

Ben wandered up with a bag full of presents and followed Ender's line of vision. "I think that's the tribute to Naboo's queens."

Ender slanted a look at him. "Let's take a closer look," he said, not commenting further as he set off towards it.

Ben followed along quietly, stopping only to take in the scenery around them. Theed really was a beautiful city.

"So, you're actually coming with us to see the dancers?"

Re: Day 4 - Theed [day]

[endsthegame]

"Someone needs to keep you guys out of trouble," Ender said wryly. "Might as well be me."

Re: Day 4 - Theed [day]

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Sure we won't bored you?" Tony asked with a grin.

Re: Day 4 - Theed [day]

[dollpocalypse]

Astral alien stuff! Hell yeah!

Right, so that'd be a plush alien stuffed animal for Kenzi, a little walkie and headset for Peter, and...

"Clothes here are weird," Topher said to no one in particular, eyeing a leather robe suspiciously.

Re: Day 4 - Theed [day]

[momslilassassin]

"Around here, jeans are weird," Ben said, ambling up behind him.

Re: Day 4 - Theed [day]

[dollpocalypse]

"Jeans are weird," agreed Topher, king of the khakis. "Do people seriously wear those?" he asked, nodding at the robe.

Re: Day 4 - Theed [day]

[momslilassassin]

"Sure," Ben said, glancing down at his black flight suit. He wasn't wearing Jedi robes--even in a galaxy of trillions, those robes stood out for what they represented and while his face wasn't nearly as famous as his father's, red hair and Jedi robes would make someone think of who he might be. "You want to try them on?"

Day 4 - evening

[momslilassassin]

And there is Cultural Dancing at the Tipsy Mynock, where Tony will hopefully remember not to eat the space nachos this time and to avoid laying his head on the table if he didn't want to stick there.

Re: Day 4 - evening

[endsthegame]

"Well, it's definitely atmospheric," Ender commented as they entered, stealing a glance around the room. It looked... exactly as he'd thought a 'Cultural Dancing' gentleman's club would look like.

Very impressed, he was not.

Re: Day 4 - evening

[dollpocalypse]

Topher had made it this far without being educated on exactly what it was they were going to be seeing.

"So... what is this exactly?" he asked loudly as they made their way inside through the crowd of people (and non-people). "Bar? Oooh, is there gonna be space food?"

He didn't really have a clear view of the stage yet. Pity, that.

Re: Day 4 - evening

[momslilassassin]

"Here we just call it food," Ben said, laughing and leading them to an empty (if not exactly clean) table, "and yeah, there'll be food too."

Re: Day 4 - evening

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Don't eat anything Ben says tastes like cheese." Never forgiving him. NEVER.

Day 5

[momslilassassin]

Where there will be goodbyes. Woe!

Re: Day 5

[dollpocalypse]

Topher's bags had somehow managed to get significantly larger during his time here. It was best not to ask how that had happened. Regardless, it meant he had to make a couple of trips outside to where the portal was waiting.

So. Here he went. Outside. Grumbling under his breath about stupid heavy bags and really, how much space could a couple of alien-shaped stuffed animals possibly take up anyway?

Re: Day 5

[momslilassassin]

Ben wandered out and glanced at the bags. "Sure you got everything?" he teased.

Re: Day 5

[dollpocalypse]

"Probably!" Topher said brightly. "But if I forgot anything, I will totally come back to get it."

A beat.

"With sunscreen."

Because really.

Re: Day 5

[momslilassassin]

"And knocking?" Ben added.

Re: Day 5

[endsthegame]

"Next time, bring luggage with wheels," Ender suggested without irony.

Re: Day 5

[dollpocalypse]

"Would've been smart," Topher granted, eyeing Ender cautiously to try to gauge if he was going to earn another confrontation.

He really, really didn't want one.

OOC

Can't end the world before Christmas.
