musical interlude

[i_am_your_host]

Emcee is dressed as usual -- white sleeveless shirt, trousers with suspenders, impeccable makeup -- when he fetches some sheet music from the Bar and sits down at the piano. Laying his fingers on the keys, he practices a few chords and scales, warming up, finding the right notes.

It's how he clears his mind and focuses. It's how he returns to who he once was.

Softly and with earnest feeling, he begins to play and sing:

"I am what I am,
I am my own special creation...
So come take a look,
Give me the hook or the ovation...

It's my world that I want to have a little pride in,
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in--
Life's not worth a damn,
'Til you can say: hey world, I am what I am."

Oh, yes. Definitely feeling like himself today.

May the Fourth Be With This Happy Hour!

[forceimbalance]

Anakin looks a little weary when he walks into the Bar today, with Artoo rolling quietly at his side. That his hand is absently on the astromech’s dome is probably a measure of just how disturbed he actually is, though he’s obviously trying to keep it from showing much. As he approaches his usual table, a rat comes up to them. “Something to eat--as long as it isn’t rations I don’t really care what it is--” Anakin begins, but then the rat hands him a note.

He reads it.

“...Seriously?”

Beee-ip boop, Artoo says encouragingly.

“Oh, fine.” And then he looks up, and around, because he thinks he knows someone’s here in Milliways (of course he’d know, he’s learning her presence pretty fast) who is just the person he needs for this to actually work out. Sure enough, there’s a juvenile Togruta elsewhere in the Bar. Perfect. “Snips!”

Whrrr-oop beep bip! Artoo objects slightly.

“It’s called delegating. It’s a natural part of command. She should learn some time. HEY SNIPS!”

The handwriting on the last is different than the other four, and anyone who catches them in the act of writing the board may overhear quite a bit of bickering. When everything has settled, Anakin can be seen relaxing behind the Bar on a seat as much as he can, seemingly having ‘let’ Ahsoka and R2-D2 take most of the work while he gets in a meal. As he said, delegating.

[ooc: we may be doing Star Wars Day officialy on the 40th anniversary, but we’re honoring May the Fourth anyway with this rockstar trio. Have fun, y’all.
edit: Aaand we are now in slowtimes. Thanks to everyone, tune back in three weeks from now for more Star Wars celebrating!]
