I'm really not sure what to make of this.

[ Leia gives the camera a look that clearly reads how unamused she is, bringing up the package into view. It's a costume package, Halloween's come a little too early, and in bold, clear writing on the front sits the words: SEXY SLAVE PRINCESS COSTUME. The image of the costume itself is presented beneath it for all to see. ]

I'd ask who put it in my mailbox this morning but I highly doubt anyone is going to come clean. And just so we're clear, I do not find this funny nor do I appreciate waking up to this. Why would anyone want to wear something like this outside of... [ Nope. Nope nope nope. ]

Anyway, this mock up hardly represents the real thing. They got it all wrong. It looks too cheaply fabricated. [ Her lips press together. Kriff. ] Not that it matters.

[ She then leans forward on a frustrated sigh and shuts the feed, ready to toss the damn thing out. ]

[Nope, nope nope! He should not be seeing his little daughter looking sexy. That's... That's just...

Wrong. He quickly fumbles and switches the feed to text, looking panicked.]

I didn't see anything!

[No, he wishes he didn't see anything. Why is this...

Daughters shouldn't grow up, clearly!]

I mean... Why did you wear anything close to that, may I ask?

[ Oh. No. Oh no. She is going to set this thing on fire immediately. ]

You're a terrible liar. Now I see where Luke gets it from.

[ Rubbing at her brow, she sighs at the question. It was bound to come up sooner or later. ]

It wasn't by choice.

[prophesiedone]

[Only if she gets to it first.]

Do you want me to be a good liar?

[He has a headache and his heart is feeling...odd. Somehow aching and constricted at the same time.]

...well that's...good. Who forced you?

[He just came from 1983 and this is a sure fire flashback to that recent cinematic experience. An experience that stirred too many feelings in him before - well, you know. He met the real Leia. She became a real, existing person and suddenly having thoroughly enjoyed all that fanservice is something he can never, ever, ever bring up. At least he can say this with honesty:]

That's - That's kinda creepy to leave for someone. Like... mega creepy?

[articulations]

[ Oh. Sweet precious summer child. ]

You don't think I know that?

[ Her response comes out a little harsher than intended and she shakes her head. ]

I'm sorry, Peter. Yes, you're right. Mega creepy. It's just unfortunate that I don't know who delivered it.

[quickfingers]

[He averts his eyes like it's gonna stop him from picturing her in the bikini; trying to not think of it's only making it worse. Now he just looks kinda pained, but that's good because it's like - empathetic. He feels bad. Because he does. For just - other reasons.]

No like, creepy note to go with it? Sorry you had to have your day spoiled with that. Upside is costume materials are often really, really, really flammable.

[reexamined]

You shouldn't throw it away.

[articulations]

[ She stares. Just stares. ]

Are you offering to take it off my hands then?

video

[reexamined]

I am saying you should keep it.

As evidence.

Clearly, someone is stalking you. It should be presented to the police.

[He's a jerk, not a creep!!]

[video]

[carbonfrozen]

I can help you burn that thing.

[Han hadn't seen the original outfit, thankfully, but he's as unamused as Leia is about the costume just on principle. Fuck Jabba, seriously.]

[video]

[articulations]

It's been suggested that I hold on to it, for now.

[video]

[carbonfrozen]

Can't see why anyone would hold on to it. It doesn't look all that practical. [Then again, it's not like that shitty little worm-ridden slug was going for practical.] Why's it even a costume people wanna wear for Halloween?

[faithfulson]

...what...?

[ That's really all Luke can manage to get out. Because he recognizes something a Hutt would throw a slave girl in, and he's torn between being angry and just very concerned, if how pale his face is is any indication. ]

[Video]

[articulations]

Luke...

[ Shoot. Timelines. They're a mess here, aren't they? ]

It's nothing. It was just a prank, I'm sure of it. But you... You recognize this, don't you.

[ Not exactly a question, though quietly said. She's concerned by how pale he is. ]

[Video]

[faithfulson]

Of course I recognize that!

[ That came out a little more forceful than he intended, and he looked away a moment, an apologetic look on his face. ]

...please tell me that wasn't part of the actual plan to get Han away from Jabba.

[flightforfreedom]

[ Guess who had that outfit left out of the stories he was told? ]

What the hell? Who would send that to you? And why?

[articulations]

[ For good reason! ]

That's what I'm trying to find out. I don't know. There was no name or note left with it.

[vanto]

That's very, uh, shiny.

[articulations]

You should see the actual costume. [ Dryly. ]

[romancekiller]

The real thing? So you've seen that before?

video;

[articulations]

Unfortunately, yes. This is made of all fabric. There's no metal, no real chain to it. No real gold.

[herrstory]

I do not imagine it would look bad. You should at least try it on.

[articulations]

Who says I haven't already? [ Deadpan tone and look. ]

[functusofficio]

[ p a u s e ]

Oh, goodness.

I can't say I approve either.

[articulations]

I would be surprised if you did.
