[ She'll break her month long network radio silence today, though it was never radio silence as she'd been lurking and responding through private conversations. Now she'll address the network as a whole, prepared or not for who might respond. ]

This is a question for everyone, the only exception being those who share with me the same galaxy.

Where you're from, what did you do? Did you live your life freely? Were you in charge of anything or anyone?

For me, there has been nothing but a war. It was all I knew. And now that I'm here, I admit I'm at a loss on what I should do with myself. I feel as though I'm living a quiet life, something I never thought possible. But it feels like a life without direction.

Should I take this time to reflect and relax? How?

It's a difficult concept to grasp when I've been at the front for so long, leading and guiding teams and missions.

[ If this outs her then Leia won't care so much. It's obvious by her involvement back home that she's at the head of the Rebellion. Nothing can come of it here and nothing can come of it back home, from what she's been told. ]

This isn't about being bored. I'm not. I'm simply not used to sitting around as often as I am now. Being left to your thoughts for so long, your thoughts can quicky become your enemy.

I'll say this-- your nature is your nature. If you're used to being at the front and leading, stopping cold turkey is going to hurt. Withdrawal's a bitch.

[articulations]

I'm aware. I've basically been sitting on my hands for the last month unsure what to do with myself. I do the work the government has assigned to me, but there has to be more.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Ah, the government. No wonder. Sure-fire way to feel like a tiny cog trapped in the middle of other tiny cogs.

What kind of missions did you lead? Back where you came from.

[articulations]

Considering they still have me at this Princess Palace, a change would be nice.

The Rebellion. We were fighting the Empire.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Oh G-O-D. Unless that's some local dungeon I'm unaware of, it sounds worse than jail.

The Rebellion. Anything like 'The Resistance'?

[articulations]

It's...different. Different than what I'm used to. We never had a princess palace. It was just a palace. Or a home, to me.

The Rebellion, the Resistance. It's all the same.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

How is it different? Aside from sounding like a highly specialized Chuck E. Cheese and lacking all of your mattresses and slippers?

Huh. [Well, she doesn't sound much like Poe, but a princess in a rebellion is an interesting thing.] So why haven't I seen you at any of my shows, hm? Mister Dameron seemed quite inspired after the last.

[articulations]

I... Chuck E. Cheese? [ What? ] I'm not following.

What kind of shows are you talking about? You know Poe?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

If you ever feel like being even more confused as to why such a thing exists, look it up sometime.

I'm a performer, I'm Lucifer. Big church in Miami? Flashy shows? Poe came to mine on Halloween, had a great time.
