Who decides what jobs we are assigned to? This is ridiculous and I want to demand a new one.

[As a Jedi he feels he shouldn't have to do this kind of petty work. Besides it's terrible.]

The sand ... it's everywhere and keeps getting into everything. My skills are best used somewhere else. Somewhere with purpose.

[ Well that's always promising. He's a fella with a bright pink scar bisecting his face. ]

What sorts of skills?

video

[ignitethestars]

Fighting or mechanical. I can fix almost any machine.

I'm also a pilot.

[morethan084]

Sand? Where are you working?

[ignitethestars]

My position is called 'Sand Curator.' I have to collect and take care of it. It's pointless.

[Who cares about sand. He sure don't.]

[driftsintobuffetline]

[Eyeroll.] You don't get to demand a new one. Get off your ass and go find a new job yourself.

[ignitethestars]

If someone would tell me where then I wouldn't have to demand.

[It's the worst day in the world, and Tetsuo could use something else to think about than moping about absent girlfriends. Conveniently, there's some asshole whining about jobs. That'll work.]

What the hell kinda job uses sand?

[ignitethestars]

[Good thing Anakin hasn't paid attention to the Valentines day thing either.]

A ridiculous one. There's no point to it.

--do you work at the beach?

[ignitethestars]

Not really, but they did send me to one. There were so many people lying around with most of their clothes off.

It was ... unnerving.

[Alright, he'll bite.]

are you buffeted by a sandstorm?

[text]

[ignitethestars]

No. Is that something I should look out for here?

[rassera]

It's everywhere and gets into.../everything?/

[KANEDA NO.]

video;

[ignitethestars]

Yes. Down your boots and into your gloves. Somehow all through your clothing. I don't know how it happens.

What the hell are you doing with sand?

[ignitethestars]

I don't want to anything to do with it. This job is forcing me to gather it for some reason.

video

[resipiscent]

You can leave, you know. Though... I can think of reasons sand might be important.

video

[ignitethestars]

I can't think of any. It just gets in the way.

[video]

[learntofly]

Some asshole. It seems like everyone gets something dumb.

[video]

[ignitethestars]

Did you get a similar fate?

[unwiseheart]

Then stop playing with sand? Why is your job sand?

[ What kind of job even...? ]

audio;

[ignitethestars]

It is the job they assigned me. I didn't ask for it. Given the chance I will gladly do something else.

[Anything else.]

[Video]

[herstarlight]

I believe the jobs are meant to demean us. [Say hi to the Professional Elf on a Shelf, Anakin.]

[Video]

[ignitethestars]

It really seems so. The one thing I hate to deal with and that's what I end up with.

May I ask what job you were assigned?

[video]

[helladoomed]

The job I got is pretty awesome.

Maybe you're just unlucky.

[video]

[ignitethestars]

And what pretty awesome job did you get?

[subourbon]

You don't do sand art, do you?

video;

[ignitethestars]

... People do art with this? Why?

video;

[aviate]

If you're serious you'll need something more than 'give me a job'.

Although make sure they recognise your qualifications. I got to keep my pilot certificate, but I doubt they'd let a doctor do whatever without checking them out first.

[He thinks for a moment.]

Being registered also helps.

video;

[ignitethestars]

[Anakin really only pays attention to one thing being said here.]

You're a pilot?

video;

[givetheslip]

What, did they send you to guard a pile of sand? In my experience, it's well capable of looking after itself.

video;

[ignitethestars]

It's more like a collector. For scientists or historians. Or someone who apparently thinks sand is important.

VIDEO;

[phantasgoria]

I don't know who decides the jobs, but I believe that you can change it.

Still, I think it's good to try something new. You never know if you'd be really good at it!

VIDEO;

[ignitethestars]

It's not really a matter of being good at this kind of job. It's more ... irritating and annoying. Even if excelled at it, I don't want anything to do with this much sand.

[dun_moch]

[Why? Why this? Dooku has had a fairly good thing going here, as much as the heir of Serenno can have after being stranded on a primitive backwater with no space travel. And now not only does he have to deal with a Jedi who could interfere with his affairs, but that Jedi has to be Anakin Skywalker. Why couldn't it have been someone else, like Mace Windu or Kenobi? Kenobi is downright tolerable next to his apprentice.

Ah, well. There is nothing for it but to confront the problem at hand, which means Anakin will be hearing a deep and cultured voice he probably hoped never to hear again:]

General Skywalker. I thought I sensed an unpleasant disturbance in the Force. It seems the Porter really will bring just anyone here.

audio

[ignitethestars]

[Wait what? Anakin knew that voice. But it belonged to someone who should be dead.]

Dooku. I guess you've managed to put yourself back together. And here I thought you would have needed a hand. Or two.

[The first thoughts that come to mind a) this is a clone or b) someone attached Dooku's head to a droid body. Somehow the image of the Sith's face on a battle droid flashed into his mind and refused to go away.

He actually almost hoped that is the case. He could use the laugh.]

[garrick]

Seems like they decide them when we arrive, kid. Not all of them are glamorous but I don't think they'd just assign things if they weren't needed.

Use baby powder. It takes the moisture out of your skin and the sand doesn't stick.

[ignitethestars]

No one needs to collect sand. Or do whatever else they do with it.
