⋆ 04 - [ VIDEO ][ FAIL-LOCK to Padmé ]

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Here's another video from your local Jedi Knight and he's not only looking cheesy as hell, but also has a certain Kylo Ren by his side, wedged securely in place with an arm over the other man's shoulder. Kylo looks rather uncomfortable with the situation, but at the same time it's questionable if he could escape it somehow if he wanted to...

It's Anakin who speaks, grinning stupidly at the camera. ]

Padmé. Padmé! It's me- Or us?

[ He quickly looks at Kylo, then beams some more. ]

Guess what? OUR GRANDSON IS HERE! That's right! I met with Kylo here and it turns out we're going to have grandchildren one day! Which means- Which means we're going to have children after all! Oh--

I need to talk to Luke! And Ahsoka... We may have to tell her. What do you think?

[ Is he babbling now? Yes, he's babbling now. ]

You know, I never thought about having kids. It should be wrong and yet-- And yet I'm here with my future grandson!


[[ ooc: This is pretty much happening after this thread. So it may be somewhat backdated. Anakin attempts to message Padmé privately, yet fails at doing so because this family needs more public embarrassment. ]]

My, my... Did you truly intend to broadcast this across this entire set of dimensions? If this was meant to be a secret... it isn't now.

[Video] - 1/?

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Okay. Wait a second... ]

[Video] - 2/?

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Seriously. Just give him a moment. ]

[Video] - 3/?

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Who were you again? ]

[Video] 4/4

[actualhumandisaster]

Oh, kriff.

How do I delete this?

[snippings]

[There's... a lot going on here. Honestly, she's not sure what to address first, so she'll leave that up to him.]

Uh... Anakin? Is there something you wanted to tell me?

private video

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Oh. Kriff. Okay. He didn't exactly expect that, so all that excitement?

Suddenly stops. ]

Umm... Ahsoka?

Ah... I... This wasn't meant to... You know.

Be public?

[Cue a rather confused Senator, although she does try to keep her expression neutral as she sees her husband with a man that she had spoken to for a little bit previously.

That he's excited is fairly clear, although what he's saying isn't which is why it does earn a little arch of her eyebrow.]

[democratically]

[But wait...

She does give a startled blink, mouth opening as she glances from him to the young man in question (although arguably he could well be around the same age that she is... It is rather hard to tell).

Her mouth does remain poised there as his words wash over her, recalling how he had brushed off this Luke, and yet-]

[democratically]

[Is it...

Did he mean to...

She knows that Anakin isn't always the most diplomatic, but has he just... announced everything to everyone?]

[democratically]

Anakin.

[As there is a good starting point as she works through what he has said, and how he has said it.

She knows that he loves her, just as she loves him. Luke had borne a resemblance to him as well, although the fact that he hadn't know his mother, and that Han had said that Leia didn't either...

She hadn't pressed, uncertain, as anything could have happened to get to that point, although there had been a certain sinking feeling within her. Yet what this Kylo has done to finally have Anakin see, Padmé doesn't know. She knows that Ani has always tried to be a good Jedi, but that he had also married her which is not at all acceptable. Yet he had balked at the idea of children.]

Perhaps we can discuss this in person?

[In private...]

[Video]

[k2so]

[Kay is just staring for a few seconds. After their last conversation, it's pretty surprising to him to see Anakin like this. Fairly amusing too, especially because the face Kylo is making.]

...Are you drunk?

[Video]

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Kay, no. ]

Kaytoo... Please. Can you delete this from your memory?

[captain_by_the_book]

The private function is right there, if you were looking for that.

[ Considering that it's usually Cassian getting mocked for his accidental videos? This is the best thing ever. Seriously, he can't stop smirking. ]

Regardless... Congratulations?

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Okay. He groans. This is getting embarrassing really fast. ]

I....

...thanks. I guess?

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

I have a feeling things could get confusing if the ones of mine show up. But I think you'll get along good.

[Once they get over the "it's really grandfather before he turned into Vader stuff, but they'd get used to it eventually.]

I think it's the realities. Kylo is from one and my three are another. There's the twins, Jacen and Jaina and...one named after you. Anakin.

Luke's teaching them to be Jedi. And Jaina's going to be one heck of a pilot when she's old enough...she already spends more time watching me with my ship and taking things apart than doing anything girly. Anakin's got the mechanical and pilot skill, too, and boy is he already good with the Force. They all are, but he's got somethin' even more than them, I think. Jacen's got some kind of Jedi animal thing, too. He can calm down just about anything and make friends with it. I think you'll be proud of them if they do show up.

[Han can't resist a little bragging on the rest of the grandkids upon seeing the failed lock.]

Luke...well, in my world, he got married before I left, but they don't have any kids yet. I think it could happen eventually, though.

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Okay, fine. He messed up the private setting, but... What?

Dude, you're getting a confused look despite the Jedi's apparent embarrassment. ]

What... Does that have to do with anything?

Who are you?

[Video]

[4starsaviour]

So you're a grandpa too? Awesome! Congratulations - it's a lotta work, but it can be pretty fun!

[Video]

[actualhumandisaster]

Huh?

You mean... You mean your grandchildren are here, too?

[ Please, don't let him be all alone in this. ]

[video]

[floatingrocks]

[Have an expectant 'I told you so' face.]

So now do you believe it?

[She isn't that irritated that it took Kylo's confirmation to make it happen.]

Just how much has he told you? [She somehow doubts he included everything.]

[video]

[obumbravit]

As much as he needs to know.

[ Dont ruin this for him scavenger! ]

[video]

[actualhumandisaster]

[ Have a somewhat raised brow in return. Geez, why did he fail so thoroughly at locking this...? ]

Actually... Not very much? It weren't his words that convinced me, though.

[video]

[gundesign]

[Even if she's only talked to this guy a grand total of once, the urge to respond is also too strong for her to resist. She can't help but giggle as she does so.]

Oh, wow. Congrats on the grandkid~!

[video]

[actualhumandisaster]

Uh... Thanks?

[ It remains embarrassing that he failed to properly lock this. ]

[guitar_hero]

Grandchildren are wonderful, you know? I envy you. I wouldn't mind seeing my granddaughter again or my great grandson. It's hard when family is so far away.

voice

[actualhumandisaster]

Well, I guess they are, but.... I also think you usually get to have and raise your own children before.... You know.

[ And he's still a little flustered about having blurted this out for everyone to hear and see. ]
