Pre-Movie stuff goes here!

During Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

During Episode 3, with all those revengeful Sith.

During Episode 4: A New Hope (and a whole new cast!)

During Episode 5: The Empire Slaps Back

During Episode 6: The Last Movie! (finally)

This is where all the post-movie stuff happens.

[Luke has spent the majority of the day getting things together for this event. He wanted it to be more than merely a movie marathon, but a way for everyone to forget their troubles from the week before. He has spent a fair amount of time piecing together the things that are "essential" for a movie marathon to have. Soda, Popcorn, Candy, and various other things including a wide array of home-prepared snacks, and as many Galactic Foodstuffs as he is able to reproduce in Luceti. The room has been rearranged and a fair bit of extra seating gathered from somewhere. All that really remains is for people to show up and for them to get started]

[Here we find Obi-Wan, distractedly shuffling about the place setting things in order. Feel free to say something to him when you show up. He seems distracted, but he's still friendly!]

[It was only five floors. That was all. Only one more than she was comfortable with, and. Obi-Wan, Ben. He was going to be watching his life, the most significant events for the past decade or more, and then his future. It would be distressing, even for a Jedi and. Even in the midst of her frustrations, her self induced apparent apathy, she could not in good conscious let him sit through it alone. Needing to apologize for this, she knew he didn't understand, knew he meant well, and knew this. She'd given her word on this, for one, and it'd be unkind to show. He said he'd wanted her there.

Sedated and deliberately ignoring what lingering anxiety she suffered at this height she made her way up the stairs and slips into the apartment, blinking at everything. She had a basket in her hands, covered in a towel, and without anywhere she could see to put them she wanders over to Ben. Slowly. And clears her throat.]

...Here I am.

[Wasn't that a brilliant way to apologize?]

[Ami, early as always, makes her way over to Luke.]

Excuse me. If there's anything left to be done, I'll help you if you'd like me to.

[He faced her, grinning.]

"I'm glad you could make it."

[... He senses her anxiety, and it suddenly hits him. Oh, Obi-Wan, you fool, we're on the fifth floor.]

I said I would come. So I did. LeBlancs, keeping of words, etc, etc, I should put that on a business card and just start handing it out when I meet new people. "Adele LeBlanc. Trauma Surgeon. Feared by Jedi Masters. When a LeBlanc gives their word, they keep it." then again, that is a bit much for a card, is it not?

[And she's rambling. But. Not apathetic. Congratulations Ben, she's emoting.]

[He turns and smiles, gesturing around to the various chairs]

I think everything is pretty much ready. Obi-Wan and I have been getting it all together for some time now, so really, just have a seat and relax. Try some of the food. I managed to synthesize some stuff from home.

And I appreciate you coming. I wouldn't feel right about watching the story of my past without good friends around.

"It would be rather lengthy. Perhaps it is better suited to an advertisement. A holoboard, maybe."

[She's emoting. She's emoting. He isn't sure by what grace or fortune this has come about, but he doesn't care.

He hugs her.]

[The guests have started filing in, and seats are being taken. Luke walks over to Ben for a moment, giving his roommate and friend a half smile.]

It wouldn't be proper to go through with this without asking. Do you have a bad feeling about this?

[He grins.]

"Not in the slightest, Luke."

Perhaps. But I brou- Ben?

[ she shifts the basket to one hand and holds it out to one side so it won't be squished by the sudden embrace. Her other hand reaches around to pat him on the back awkwardly. She and Helios had worked hard on these, dammit, and she wanted them enjoyed, not smooshed by Jedi Hugs. Even if the Jedi Hugs were very nice and very comforting. All she had to do was turn her head and, well, there it was. Her Ben Pillow. Very comfortable and she should probably say something.]

I brought something better than Danish?

"Good."

[With that out of the way, he hugs his friend.]

"I can't imagine what it must be like. Knowing you are about to see your own future. If you need to, I'm sure nobody will object to waiting for you waiting until you are ready."

I think it's brave. If there was a movie about me... I don't think I would want anyone to watch it.

[She lets the words pass for simple shyness; but there are things in her past, things in the darkness, best left buried.]

[It was an interesting prospect. But then, watching the moments from his past might provide some clarity into the things he did not understand, and he would forget about the moments from his future before he had to face them.]

"You needn't worry. I'll be fine."

[She seemed to have a spot on his chest where her head was naturally inclined to rest, oddly, but he let go when she spoke. Too much. She was not ready.

Don't react. Let her ignore it.]

"And what would that be?"

[Aaand Ben Pillow was gone. Damn. She should've been quiet. It was easier to ignore things when she was comfortable, then again, there were cozy seats enough for her to be comfortable on her own later. Adele brings her mind back on task and lifts the corner of the towel covering the basket, the scent of fresh, fried sweet dough wafting up.]

Beignets. I helped, a little. Helios let me form the dough after he double checked everything that went in them. And we tested them earlier so I promise they're palatable.

[Obi-Wan looks at the pastries and chuckles.]

"I hope you realize that I do not only enjoy sweet foods... but they look and smell delicious. Thank you for bringing them."
