Getting out into Coruscant [Friday afternoon into Saturday afternoon]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin pointed out of one of the vaulted Temple windows towards the busy cityscape in front of them.



"And that is Coruscant. Clubs, restaurants, shopping, incredibly egotistical politicians, useless bureaucrats...it's all out there." He pointed to the nearest public transport pickup location. "Don't go lower than the mid-levels of Coruscant unless you're looking to disappear permanently," he warned. "There are a trillion beings on this planet, and it has a thriving underworld who are as ruthless as any you'll ever come across."

Grab something to eat!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Ooh, a diner. Bet weird things don't happen here...

[OOC: As you ping in here, please mention what time of day you're eating (Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, etc.) so others can join you...]

Saturday Morning

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair wandered into the diner and bounced as he looked around. They might not have the cheerios that he was looking for, but you couldn't beat the people watching opportunitys.

When Peter walked into the diner, he was rather thrilled to find someone he actually recognised. "Blair!" He said with a wave. "How goes it?"

Late Saturday morning

Anakin ushered Rory into the diner. "Welcome to Dex's," he said with a nervous smile.

"Oooh," Rory said, eyes wide as she looked around. "I don't think I can break anything here...."

Visit the Galactic Senate

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

The topic at hand: Should the Republic have its own standing army. Tempers were high and the dialogue wasn't precisely...diplomatic.

One thing Draco's father had infused in him early was a love for politics. So naturally he would head over to the Senate.

Politics were soon out the window when he saw all the cool aliens around.

"This is unnecessary," a young woman's voice said. She moved her pod to the center of the Senate to be heard more clearly. "We don't need an army. I put my faith in the local police forces, the Judicial Department, and the Jedi. Just as we have for the last thousands years."

Her voice was soon drowned out by other Senators' shouting.

Up on the dais a white-haired human male looked around the room with concern.

Of *course* Bel headed over to the Senate, not out of any love of politics, but to see if he could run into Padme.

The Senate was in the middle of a debate, voices raised in anger.

In the middle of it all, a slender brunette stood in her Senate pod and answered every question hurled at her.

Peter went to the Galactic Senate after lightsaber practice with Anakin. Unsurprisingly, he was a monarchist at heart and was having a hard time reconciling the notions of peace and justice with the idea of government by a committee.

The debate in the Senate Chambers? Didn't much swing his vote towards democracy.

Re: Visit the Galactic Senate

"You don't seem that impressed," a voice behind him commented.

Re: Visit the Galactic Senate

Like Rory wasn't going to check in on the Senate, after everything Anakin had told her plus her already deeply-ingrained fascination with all things political.

She quietly listened to the debate, worrying her lower lip with her teeth as the argument went on.

"As I've said before, Senator Farr," a slender brunette said evenly from her floating pod, "We don't need an army. I put my faith in the local police forces, the Judicial Department, and the Jedi. Just as we have for the last thousands years. We need to trust in diplomacy."

Sam snuck in halfway through the debate and listened to the arguments, trying to decide which way she would vote, if it were up to her. She believed in the need for a standing army, but she also saw the arguments behind not having one.

Re: Visit the Galactic Senate

[fh_extras]

"Would you believe this is only the second month of debate on this issue?" a deep voice said behind her.

Go shopping

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Wander around Coruscant, head into shops, watch the local population walk by.

Try not to gawk too obviously.

Re: Go shopping

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's all so...shiny," Rory said, staring. "Where do you want to go first?"

"I have to get something for Charlie, since I promised, but I'm flexible. You have anything in mind?"

Night life!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Hit the bars and clubs. There's no drinking age on a planet with a few thousand different sentient species. Try not to embarrass yourself.

Re: Night life!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin had handwavily given coordinates to his favorite club in the midlevels of Coruscant for anyone in the workshop who might care to join him.

He took a spot at the bar, ordered something blue and smoking, and watched the various species of Coruscant wander past.

Re: Night life!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi," said Rory, sidling up to him. "What are you drinking?"

She may had looked different, given that she had taken a little bit of time to not only change into the dress (http://pics.livejournal.com/rory__gilmore/pic/0004krxa) she had bought with Sam that afternoon, but handwave found a place that had done her hair (http://pics.livejournal.com/rory__gilmore/pic/0004pp3s) with the accessories she'd purchased.

Re: Night life!

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam wandered in wearing the clothes (http://www.padawansguide.com/padme/cape/padme_cape_new2_m.jpg") she'd bought that afternoon with Rory and tried not to stare as she looked around the bar.

She was also trying not to trip over all the extra fabric, and was mostly successful.

This place was awesome. Armed with his camera for his workshop, Cameron wandered away from the bars. He had missed class this week, but he hadn't forgotten that they were supposed to learn night photography and what better way to learn it?

He was pretty sure that he would be able to track down that bar that Anakin had told them about. He hoped. Oh well, it didn't matter. He was living life to its fullest and enjoying every new thing a little bit too much. Yeah, he had 'tourist' written all over him. Good thing he just didn't care.

OOC the second...

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Almost done...
