A very GENEROUS donation and a couple of aliases making for a believable cover were all the convincing needed to secure a completely PRIVATE night at the aquarium. Didn't hurt to preemptively sabotage a bit of the security system, either - just enough that they wouldn't be recorded, and the place wouldn't be any the wiser until the next day. No harm done.
Though located on the mainland so as to be better sheltered from the archipelago's violent storms, the biggest aquarium in the Outlands wasn't far from Calypso. A short flight there after dark, and they landed in the back lot normally reserved for staff and various shipments.
Revenant took Symphony's hand to exit the ship, leading toward one of the back entrances and punching in a code at the keypad to open the doors for them. "Feels a little like sneaking in, don't it?" He mused. "We can walk through to the front. Start there if you want," he suggested. Staff corridors would allow them to reach the front lobby without being SPOILED by exhibits along the way, so they could tour the place just the same as anyone else would.

AS SAID BY VARRIC TETHRAS PROMPTS
@naboocrowned asked: you know, i might be able to give you a hand with that.
Wattson was a tech girl, geeky and awkward, which made the social aspect of her job a little more difficult for her. She was constantly monitoring herself; where she was looking, how she appeared, what words she used. It could be exhausting for her. She much rather be in the Games, or working on things for the Games-- or even talking with hyperactive, boundary pushing, fans. Parties with sponsors and expectations was probably one of her least favourite parts of her job.
So, when Natalie became aware of her slightly disarrayed appearance, she quickly excused herself. She found sanctuary in an empty, lounge room, seemingly forgotten about due to the ongoing party. Natalie hurried over to a mirror that hung on the wall and confirmed her suspicions; her fake eyelashes were falling off.
The scramble to fix it quickly begun; the little engineer popped open her clutch purse and searched for the eyeliner glue she had been given by the make up artist earlier. She popped off the lid and made her way to her eye only to pause. Should she take the entire thing off? Or just try to glue the part that was loose? Natalie didn't know! She should've asked Loba to come with her. She should just rip them off. She should--
A familiar voice sounded out from over her shoulder, breaking Natalie from her rapid descent into panic. She swiftly turned around, her cerulean blue dress twisting with her frame, and met Symphony's gaze. Was it a coincidence that they found each other in this hall? Or was Natalie's absence noticed? She hoped for the former.
"I--" She stuttered, seemingly still a little shocked and embarrassed about being found. Natalie then swallowed and put on a smile, though evidently it was more nervous than her usual grin. "Please..?" She asked as she extended out the glue liner to her fellow Legend. "If I try then I think I might ruin my look and then-- then I can't go back out there..!"

Concern Starters
@naboocrowned asked:
❛ what if something happens to you ? ❜
He sighs.
It’s a fair question; he doesn’t exactly have the safest line of work. Especially not now, with everything as it was.
“I’ll be okay.” It’s an automatic response, but no less genuine. He’s going to be okay, because he has to be okay. He’ll keep going, because he has to keep going. That’s just what Jedi do. He picks idly at a loose thread on his tunic. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't worried about the mission at hand, but he doesn't want to trouble her, either. She has enough to deal with. Even without the current- ah, situation- she was ruling an entire planet. He didn’t want to add to that burden at all, if he could avoid it.
“I mean, I’ve got my training,” he supplies with a smile, “and the Force is with me. It always is. … And I have lightsabers. Those help.”
And then he folds his hands in his lap and looks down. He knows dismissing her entirely won’t help. It never does with grown ups.
"If something does happen, I know I'm in good hands. I have the men, I have you, and there's your staff, as well. It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere." Again, he knows it's not the best comfort, but it's something, at least.
"I'm in good hands. I'll be okay."

STARTER CALL —— @naboocrowned
The Mid Rim wasn't as bad as the core, but Din still would have preferred to keep to the Outer Rim if he was capable of it. Nevarro, Tatooine, those were the sort of places that Din was comfortable in, the kind where he understood the rules - or lack thereof. Or maybe it wasn't so much being in the Mid Rim that was making him uncomfortable as it was the handcuffs.
Yes, maybe he'd been caught sneaking around an abandoned Imperial Base, but for good reason - there had been rumors traveling around that there may have been answers about what the experiments the Imps wanted Grogu for there and Din didn't trust anyone to give out answers if he asked for them. He'd be more surprised if the answers weren't destroyed, really, and it didn't help that Naboo was the emperor's homeworld, meaning there were odds people there still supported the empire, if only in private.
Still, he didn't fight back even though being relieved of his weapons made him itch. If he'd fought against them and lost, would that make one of them the new Mand'alor? If he fought against them and won, would Mandalore be at odds with Naboo while he ended up with a bounty on his own head? Politics weren't his game, that was best left to someone like Kryze - his job was to not be thrown in jail.
"I'm not an Imp sympathizer." Din said immediately upon being presented to the queen, somehow more offended by that idea than anything else. Maybe he would have fought back if they hadn't said he'd be presented to the queen, but something seemed off that he would be taken to someone so high up in power over trespassing, even if it was an old Imperial base he was on.

@naboocrowned asked: ❝ you look scared. ❞
Every young woman who was ambitious and decided to enter the political race to Queenship was well aware of the risks. Every Nabooian Queen was ready and willing to die for Naboo, was even expected to. Certainly, they were all well protected, surrounded by security and some with decoys, but a Queen was meant to succeed, whether this was by living or by sacrificing herself. Luckily Naboo was a planet of peace and though Padmé had to lead it through the crisis inflicted by the trade federation, Naboo hadn’t had a taste of proper war in hundreds of years.
When Padmé came to visit Queen Arsinoé on Naboo, the Clone Wars had just begun. Arsinoé was a strong woman, Padmé was endlessly proud of her, but she worried. The Queen was important to Padmé. She didn’t manage to keep her concern off her face and nodded, averting her gaze as she studied Arsinoé’s beautiful gown instead for a moment. “The war scares me. As well as the developements within the Senate.” Padmé knew she could be honest with Arsinoé and share her fears with her.

bright sunny yellow — Sweet tasting popsicles, summer dresses and shielding your eyes from the sun. Your love is the excitement of something brewing, something growing. It's the almost childish bubbling giggles of something new, but with the potential to stay. It's wide smiles, blinding sunny light and warm bodies that gravitate to one another. It's the softness, the willingness, the slight holding of breaths in a crucial "what if" moment. It's the impatience too. The bouncing on tiptoes to see further than your eyes can reach, the holding out for a future that never seems to come even though you're ready, you're so so so ready. It's the constant feeling of warm sand beneath your feet, holding out for the crashing waves. And still you wait, dry and impatient and with burnt soles of feet. Your love is sour candy, enjoying it as your nose scrunches up from the aftertaste of it. It's hands that grab and take hold, that reach and ask them to stay and hope and beg and wait. It's bubbling excitement sure, but it's also demanding, focused, driven. It's love like a plan, with a path and route and a clear destination. And you bonce on your tiptoes, and burning, waiting for the soothing water, the crashing waves, you hold onto the melting popsicle, you wait and wait and wait. It's tiring almost as much as it's lazer focused ambition, deeply rooted desire and the unrelenting hope that it will work, that it will come. And it does, I promise it does. The waves crash, the beach floods and the pain passes, the water cool and soothing and you can let yourself fall in, sinking, sinking. And it's good, it's perfect, what you were hoping and more, holding and embracing you and welcoming you into the stillness you always knew you were reaching for.

@simulamortem asked: 🍒 + @naboocrowned !
Honestly just a phenomenal OC. I don’t really SW anymore but it always felt like interacting with a canon character when I did over on Keri? Like Sym is so fleshed out and melds with the universe so well that she just feels like an organic part of the setting and story. Like one of the OCs where you wish you could just read a book about ‘em, you know? Also, I haven’t read much of your threads together but the few glimpses I have taken were just. Chef’s kiss. Great writing, great oc, great mun. Ayyy das a ten oudda ten for me.
send me 🍒 + a url and i will write some positivity for them.
send “ cherry ” if the emoji is not visible for you
( Send in whoever as long as it’s not me or yourself ! )

Historically, surprises had never done Puppy any favors. But he had a good feeling about this one, seeing as it was coming from Symphony - and his faith was rewarded.
The pair were, without a doubt, the cleanest banthas he had ever seen. He was used to seeing them on Tatooine, where everyone and everything was inevitably covered in a layer of dust, and the thick fur of banthas was no exception. But the fur on these two looked silky, their curling horns shone in the sun like a brand new speeder, and Puppy was immediately compelled to touch the creatures, to run his hand through their fur and maybe feed them something.
Bantha mouths were soft and always tickled a little against his hand. Puppy had hand-fed a lot of animals and still considered a simple bantha one of the most fun, despite that they were slow and not particularly... engaging.
He looked to Symphony excitedly, the animated little dog on his face hardly enough to convey his actual excitement.

it was the architecture that she notices first. the architecture and the lush forests that circled the planet of naboo. it’s breathtakingly beautiful. nyota found she would like to stay here, if only for a few days. while it was not the hot deserts she was used too, or the cool climate of san francisco, there was a sense of tranquility here. even if a war had been recently waged.
jim, nyota, and a few others were escorted to the main hall. tall windows exposed the land beyond, bridging the gap between ingenuity and nature. nyota wondered if this was intended when originally built.
double doors open and they’re welcomed into the throne room. following jim’s lead, nyota bows at the waist before settling the weight of her full gaze on Queen Arsinoe. She’s beautiful. Regal. Uhura was in awe.
“Thank you for seeing us, your Royal Highness,” Nyota added once Jim finished his round of introductions.
@naboocrowned gets a starter from nyota !

He was more prepared for her visit than the last time. Not that he had cleaned up the place - just that he had disabled the island's surveillance for the day, so no one would see the queen's coming or going.
And she obviously wouldn't need an escort from another Legend this time.
Instead, Revenant arrived to Calypso in a small, private ship to pick her up, and they made the trip out to Solace TOGETHER after Symphony had gotten a night's rest at the condo. There were snacks and drinks available on the ship, in case she wanted anything on the way.
As they entered Solace's atmosphere, he nodded for the windows. "Might see the leviathans off the coast," he suggested, figuring she would want to LOOK. The mother leviathan still had a baby in tow, so the two wouldn't travel far. "You see any on Gaea?" He only hadn't stayed the night with her because he'd been busy dealing with Kings Canyon's cameras, and the extra steps of making sure Games personnel wouldn't notice any security discrepancies.

PLANNED STARTER
@naboocrowned
When a new Legend joined the roster there was always a bit of excitement in the air-- as well as some trepidation. The newbie could be grizzled and tough, hardened by the vast Outlands and the experiences it gave. Or, as Natalie hoped for, they could be lively and friendly, excited to compete in a sport. There was no way to know for certain until someone spoke to the new recruit though-- and that's exactly what the little engineer planned on doing.
Wattson made her way through the drop ship, passing by her fellow Legends and their little rooms on the ship, offering a smile and wave to whoever gave her one. Eventually, she found who she was looking for. A woman with platinum hair, tucked to the side of the ship. Natalie hoped that wasn't meant to dissuade anyone from approaching because that was exactly what she was doing.
"Hello!" Natalie greeted cheerily as she practically popped out from around Symphony's side with a megawatt smile. "You're the new Legend, oui? I'm Wattson, but you can just call me Natalie!"

@naboocrowned said : i was always holding onto people, and they were always leaving.
rex knows that feeling well. they’d tried to teach him, back when he was a cadet - they’d tried to teach all of them, tried to erase it from their genetics as best as they could - that attachment would get them nowhere. don’t bond with your brothers, because they’ll just as soon be leaving you. rex realizes halfway through the war that the clones aren’t much different from the jedi in that regard. no attachment, for it will only lead to heartache. “ it’s hard being the one that survives, ” familiar sentiment from a brother far wiser than rex echoes in his words, “ or stays. hard not to let it get to you after a while. ” then, a touch bolder, rex looks down across the balcony railing he leans on, hands folded before him, “ its a shame for them then, your majesty - you’re worth staying and fighting for. ”
