Happy New All Skate!
"You know what, let's have a party."
Dinah threw her platinum card (thanks, Oracle) on the Bar and as a result there is free flowing champagne for everyone whose culture, age and religion permits champagne - and top quality soft alternatives for the rest. There are bar snacks doing the rounds around the tables, and delicate winter flower arrangements on each surface.
And most importantly, on the TV screen is a lot of dancing, a giant countdown, and a big ball ready to drop.
...and when the ball drops, something happens.
Welcome to another Milliways All-Skate!
All welcome - yes, that means all. Whether they're retired, deleted, AU, original or already being played by someone else, bring 'em along.
Usual all-skate rules apply:
1. Everyone's stressed out of their mind right now, so have fun!
2. Communication is key.
3. Gratuitous behaviour (either of a violent or sexual nature) will not be tolerated in the bar proper. Take that to an OOM, and then Content Warning the hell out of it before you link it.
4. Much like Vegas, what happens in All Skates, stays in All Skates (in most cases)
5. Please don't be a dick.

"Naturally," he says. "Can't have heretics threatening the security of the Empire, can we?"
Don't worry, it's only fractionally more illegal than having his face and not being a stormtrooper. He can see a long explanation in his future, but still - if her friend knows in advance, would it help?

Tact is one thing (which Sunshine sometimes has). Subtlety is another (which she generally doesn't).

"If you want a year, I can only say year 1, by the Imperial calendar," he says with a wry smile. "About ten years ago, give or take. The third year after the start of the clone wars."
The last is the only one he assumes will be of use to her.

Okay, maybe that was a bit too bitter. She gets a cinnamon roll for herself, as well.
At least, she has that information. She can pass it on to those for whom it means something.
"Did they, like, erase the record of the previous year-numbering system?" That's not indicative of a complete ruling power overhaul at all.

"The old system would have been... Nine Fifty Eight? Seventy nine fifty eight."
no subject
"Your brothers?"

"When it doesn't put them in danger to be with a fugitive like me," he adds, his hand dropping to brush where his lightsaber sits under his robes.
He knows she knows. So he assumes she knows he's a descrepancy.
