This needs to stop. Back and forth, back and forth; that's all it is. [ A hand waves about. ] It's like one big game, and boy am I getting really tired of it.

How is anyone expected to live a life here if they keep getting ported out? How is anyone expected to carry on with their life back home when they keep getting taken from it?

[ It was as soon as the camera was enabled that she goes off on her rant, pacing in her kitchen with a glass of juice in hand, and Lothcats be damned is Princess Leia mad. Mad to be back? Mad that she was sent away in the first place? ]

Why take something or someone away from you, while you're here, only to send you back home to them and give you, I don't know, days or weeks with them, and then you're back here. Without–

[ The sound of glass cracking can be heard before it abruptly snaps in her grasp, liquid spilling to the linoleum floor. Muttered swearing, a harsh exhale, and she turns halfway away from view to block the injury out but not without extending her uninjured hand to her device. Smoothly it moves through the air to her and nothing else is said or seen before it's turned off. ]

Oh thank fuck.

[ Super eloquent, Poe. And missing the point. ]

Sorry. I know it's shit, but - I'm glad you're back.

[ She pushes out a frustrated breath. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm back.

[ Does she sound happy? No. Might have something to do with the glass she's picking out of her palm and tossing it into the sink. But hey, she's glad to hear from him anyway. ]

[Kylo doesn't know what to name the writhing tangle threatening to break out from the cage of his ribs at the best of times, and finding his mother— the woman who will become his mother— returned to him does nothing to lessen the confusion.

He's pleased, he thinks. Relieved. And none of those things at all. It's infuriating before he sees Dameron throwing himself at her as if he's her son— which is a tangle all of its own, and before he's formulated any idea of what he's going to say he finds himself responding.

Privately, for once.]

How many is that now?

[Glasses, that is, though he could just as easily be referring to port-outs. It's hard to tell if he's amused, concerned, or falling on the first thing to say that comes to mind.]

voice, private;

[articulations]

Glasses? Or are you referring to my recurring relationship with the porter?

[ She's happy to hear from him, relieved even to know he's still here. Leia had wondered briefly when she'd returned on who remained and who had been sent back. ]

This makes it number two on glasses. But I've lost count by now on the porter's tricks. How have you been? Did I miss much? How long was I gone this time?

They can't seem to make up their mind with some of us. [ though he's gotten ported out a few times, others have had it worse. ]

Were you hurt?

voice

[articulations]

Maybe we should beat them over the head a few times, that might knock some sense into them.

[ A quiet sigh as she glances down at the hand wrapped up. ]

It's nothing a few stitches can't fix. The glass didn't cut too deep.

[generalgrievous]

It is strange that that happens to some and not to others.

[voice]

[articulations]

Strange indeed. I see no point behind it.

You can say all of this again, for sure. Co-signed, et cetera.

[ this post is a big fuckin mood, basically. ]

Can't get used to a life here, back home, blah blah blah. This is probably limbo.

[ voice ]

[articulations]

You've had your fair share of the back and forth game? Isn't it fun?

[ The sound of the breaking glass is what grabs his attention - it's not like her questions have any proper answers, certainly nothing he could say that would make her feel better about the situation. But - ]

Are you hurt?

[ It sounded like she broke something, which could mean injury. And then - ]

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're back.

This wouldn't be my first time slicing my hand open. I'll be fine. I'm on my way to the hospital now to get it looked at.

[ Which means: do not fret. ]

Thanks. [ She sighs then, doesn't sound at all happy to be back. ] I miss anything while I was gone?

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

Leia... [She has his temper, bless her.] Can you take a deep breath for me?

[voice]

[articulations]

There's no point. What's done is done. I'm fine, really.

[storyseeker]

Welcome back. Or...condolences, depending.

voice;

[articulations]

I'll take the welcome back. The condolences, that's too depressing.

I wish I could give you an answer but I don't know. Life's a bitch and then you die. Is your hand okay?

voice

[articulations]

[ Since she can’t type one handed— ]

Quite the cycle we live. [ Dryly. But it’s the truth. ] It should be in a bit, thank you, someone has offered to heal it. I’d prefer that over stitches.

[Video]

[faithfulson]

Welcome back, Leia.

[ Luke, as ever, is calm in the face of his sister's literally explosive anger. Still, he does look concerned over the injury. ]

Are you okay?

[voice]

[articulations]

[ She hesitates before responding; when was the last time they’d spoken? Thanksgiving? ]

Luke. That depends on your definition of “okay”.

[senateur]

Leia, are you alright?

[ Concerned mother mode activated at full strength. ]

[articulations]

We’ve been down this road once before. I don’t think you’ll remember, and that’s okay. Everything should be good to go, Bodhi offered to help heal.

[hadthehighground]

I would like to say I can relate, but it’s only been once in my case.

Not only that, but I’m glad to be back, and to see you as well.

[He had wondered about her absence. No one had said anything to him about it. Now it’s all clear.]

Hello, Leia.

[ Holy heck, it’s Master Kenobi. A face and voice she never would’ve expected to see and to hear from again. ]

Obi-Wan Kenobi. You came back— when? And you...remember? Everything?

[honeybadgered]

Um. Do you want a hug? Those are supposed to help.

[ Well that's a different response from everyone else so far. ]

Is that a serious question...?

Dimensional instability has been increasing, yet the rate of imPort arrivals and departures has remained constant.

Certain individuals are more prone to being chosen. Your family and their associates most notably among them.

Must be a Skywalker thing then.
