Oh look a new set of family issues to contemplate

[forcechanic]

It's normal to think about whether you'd make the same choices your overlay did, right? It would probably never happen... Mom's always made sure that no one tried to give me or my brothers titles related to lost royal houses. But after so long, my overlay didn't think it would ever really come up for her either...

It's a lot to think about.

[And not easy to articulate. She may have some Organa traits, but that's no one of them.

But there's a simpler question too.]

Also how did any of you Earth people manage to keep a straight face during that music?

[morethanashadow]

Yeah... I think about that a lot, too. [He's never sure if it's good or bad when he and his overlays lines up neatly.]

[forcechanic]

They really branched out from the monastery thing this time.

[morethanashadow]

Yeah. It was pretty different from your other overlays so far.

Is that making it harder? [it would for him.]

[forcechanic]

Junia of all things was probably the closest.

It has me thinking about things I hadn't really. Alderaan.

[morethanashadow]

[...ah. He does know what that is.]

What about it, specifically?

[forcechanic]

I'm the oldest so technically... if things had been different...

[morethanashadow]

....Oh.

Yeah. I guess that would have happened. [He can't see Jaina enjoying that, like, at all.]

[forcechanic]

Pretty sure I would have made a terrible princess.

[morethanashadow]

You could have done fine, if you'd really wanted I think.

[He believes she could do anything she put her mind to. It's just this might not be a thing she'd want to put her mind to.]

[forcechanic]

I've never really liked diplomatic events. I know what to do at them, but I've always liked getting to leave after smiling for the holocams.

[morethanashadow]

...Yeah. I get that. [admittedly he kind of made the choice to be in front of cameras and she didn't, but.]
