Endor [Tuesday, December 30]

Luke, sadly for those who were not, was totally a morning person. As soon as the sun rose above the horizon, he was up, trying to get everyone ready for another day of hut building and bridge hanging.

There was breakfast and really awful strong coffee, and then the hike back to where they'd been working all of yesterday.

Luke would understand if people took breaks to explore today. Three solid days of manual labor is no vacation.

"True," Pepper said carefully, watching the wee glaring Ewoks. "I mean, there's nothing wrong with giving them some...new options to consider."

"But they're being so closed-minded about it," Lacey said with a bit of a pout. "It's almost like being back in Dog River again."

Flash-cut: a pair of adjoined tree huts with the Corner Gas and Ruby signs done up in branches nailed to planks. An elderly Ewok with grey fur comes stomping out of the Ruby-hut gesturing wildly with what looks like a spear with its head broken off and ranting.

Another Ewok, a younger but very dirty-looking one with a backwards baseball cap and a grubby Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes logo on its shirt, shuffles up beside him.

[SUBTITLE: It's like she's trying to turn it into a gay bar or something!]

"I swear," Lacey continued with a sigh, "I don't get what it is with small towns and people being so resistant to trying something new."

The glaring Ewoks let out a collective and unmistakably offended noise.

Pepper looked a little more warily at the Ewoks, and replied, "I wouldn't know. I don't do much with small towns. But they definitely seem mad about something."

". . . who's mad?" asked Lacey. It was amazing how often this happened to her, and how she managed to fail to expect it every single time. Of course, it usually didn't involve a wee fuzzy Ewok shaking a staff at her, but still -- it was a constant.

Pepper inclined her head towards the Ewoks. "Teddy Ruxpin and his friends over there don't seem all that thrilled."
