Hail and well meet, fellow ImPorts! Merle Highchurch here, and I have an important announcement to make!

[ he's standing in front of an interesting looking building, with curved white walls and a big sign out front that reads "All are Welcome!" ]

I'm here to announce the grand opening of Istus' ImPort Oasis, a multi-faith center in Maurtia Falls with temples and meeting areas for ImPorts of all faiths to get together and worship, discuss, and celebrate. There are many, many people to thank for Istus' opening, so I'm just gonna read off a few: Yato, the helper god! Petyr Baelishious, mayor extraordinayor! Ambassador Amidala, may she rest in peace. And last but not least, all your generous donations to our Kickstarter project!

We're going to be starting things off with a gathering to honor the memory of Ambassador Amidala, to remember all the good work she did here while she was with us. If you knew her, or were a friend, or even if you just want to come by and check us out, it's like the sign says: All are Welcome!

[ ooc: log for the event will go up later this month, after the craziness of the shamtheon ]

It's only been a few days. She may yet return.

[ Somebody's a little touchy... but he's definitely not Upset, why would you even think that gosh ]

[ "yeah, and so might Taako." Merle's heard that excuse before. ]

id she does come back, it'll be a Welcome back party tghen!

*if
*then

When.

sure, bud! whatever you say.

Istus, sir? I thought you were strictly a Pannite, did you convert?

Senator Amidala would be most pleased to see this center opening, if she were still here. A pity she cannot be present.

No, but Istus and I share a bond. Maybe not as strong as her an' Magnus, but all the same, "Istus' ImPort" anything just had a nice ring to it.

Ah, were you a friend of hers?

Not quite. But I always respected her power. Our community was better off with her present.

Ohhhh, yeah, she was a force to be reckoned with. Glad I never got on her bad side.

It is very alliterative! It's a catchy name!

She would have forgiven you, if you had. Her capacity for mercy was one of her most consistent... [Weaknesses.] Qualities.

Thanks for the endorsement, kiddo! I hope I can count on you for the opening party?

Yeah, I definitely got the sense that she was a forgiving, accepting type o' gal. Good for her, those are great qualities to have!

Are those the values you intend to preach in this new Oasis?

Istus' is designed to be a place for all ImPorts to come together and worship their own faiths. I won't be preaching anything, just providing space for those whose beliefs aren't common on this world to pray to their deities in peace. Everyone's welcome.

... Except if you're a member of that murder cult. They're not welcome.

Thank you. For honoring my mother like this.

[ Yeah, Luke is... not in the best of spirits. It may only have been a few days, but he knows; people dying or leaving for a little while feels very different from when they're actually ported out. ]

Yeah, 'course, kid! Your mom was a good egg.

[ Of course, she also looked way too young to have a kid this old. Maybe she had some elf blood in her. Merle never did get a close look at those ears..... ]

Ah, so you've encountered the Dark Brotherhood, I take it? Their form of... worship certainly does make an impression. Unless there is another death cult in our midst that I am unaware of?

Of course, sir! I can help set up too, if you need an extra set of hands and some levitation.

...she was.

[ Luke bit his lip, looking away from the screen for a moment. He didn't have a clue the other man had no idea that timeline shenanigans were involved. ]

I'm glad I got to know her.

Hey, I can always use a little wizardry to help out around the place! I'll count you in!

Nah, I mean the Dark Brotherhood. The guy running it is nice enough, when we've talked, but I don't hold to those beliefs and I don't want Istus' to get in any legal trouble.

[

]

Did you not grow up with her around?

[ That sorta hits home for Merle, having basically abandoned his own kids. ]

She died when my sister and I were born.

[ He paused a moment, before clarifying: ]

The porter has brought a number of people in from different points of my galaxy's history.

[Dryly:]

With the status of disorder in this city, I am sure you could welcome a death cult into your ranks without real consequences.
