[Video] ✧ 1st Address

[angelofnaboo]

[She's had time...a few days at least... to sort through things while working to help others. She's holding together as best as she can, but she knows that things here are complicated.]

I'm sure that it's been asked before by others, but I've yet to really find anyone that I can talk to regarding this. So, I've decided to address as many as possible at one time.

[She stalling, she knows she is. And that's not like her. After biting her bottom lip momentarily, she just decides to face the problem head on.]

Has anyone else run into time paradoxes? People from the past and people from the future coexisting when they really shouldn't? Meeting those that otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to do so?

How do you deal with it?

[After she asks that question, her demeanor changes.]

Are there any particular projects that can use a slightly disoriented politician that is out of her element?

[WHOOPS. Tough audience.]

Sounds pretty crappy. For what it's worth, same thing happened to me. We just talked it out. [Eventually. After much avoiding the issue.]

I know that seems like a crazy time paradox or whatevs, but here's the thing, sis: Once you leave Hadriel, you don't remember a thing about your stay here.

[angelofnaboo]

[The toughest.]

I'm not worried about what will happen when I return home, what I will remember. [She'll be dead.] I'm only concerned as to how one particular person will take the future that he faces while we're both here.

[restinglichface]

Wanna lay down a few specifics? Might help with my answer.

[angelofnaboo]

Since there are others here that can confirm this, I suppose I can just say it.

I died. There are people that could hold a person here responsible for my death.

[restinglichface]

Hey, me too, sister! Death twins!

[no lup no]

Anyway, here's my next big q. Any particular reason you gotta talk about your death? Not something you can keep all to yourself?

[angelofnaboo]

[Padmé grimaces.]

I'm not sure that that's something I can celebrate, considering the circumstances. I... someone here can confirm the way that I died, and it would actually not reflect well on someone else.

So, no, it's not something that I can really keep to myself.

[restinglichface]

[Sorry, babe, Lup's not one for tact.]

Sounds like you've got it rough then. Probably best to just fess up and get it over with before shit starts rollin' downhill. Need a hand in keepin' folks under control?

[angelofnaboo]

[Lacking tact is one thing. Being bold beyond reason? She should be used to it, what with Sabé and her other Handmaidens during her tenure as Queen.]

If anyone can keep him "under control", I suppose I would be best suited to the position. I would just rather not have to put myself in that role if I can help it.

[Which she can't.]

I can't possibly be the only one in this sort of predicament. It seems ludicrous for that to be the case.

[restinglichface]

Fair. [Avoiding the whole thing would absolutely be preferable, no matter how impossible that actually might be. Lup feels this.]

This just was my experience, sis. When I first popped into this place, I was sixty-five years behind my twin brother, ten years behind one of my friends, and another friend didn't even know who I was.

I feel you, I do, this shit isn't easy to deal with. But I don't think you're gonna get better advice than just putting as much as you can out there and dealing with it as it comes. If your pals are at all reasonable, they'll pick up on it and let it go.

[angelofnaboo]

[Avoiding it would be nice too. If only she could.]

That is...very similar. It.... [She wants to laugh, but it's not necessarily a nice laugh that is bubbling up inside of her.] These "gods" are terrible, aren't they?

[restinglichface]

[A feeling the elf understands all too well.]

They're terrible all right, but nothing like gods. Way too shitty.

[angelofnaboo]

I wouldn't know. There are no gods where I'm from.

[restinglichface]

There are gods where I'm from, not that I've ever met any, but they mostly seem satisfied to just stay out of shit. The assholes here are clueless, can't even keep track of who's who in their own damn city.
