This is Anakin Skywalker. I'm not here right now. Please leave a message.

[solo_sword]

Makes total sense.

And then, Have you gone yet?

[sith_happened]

Yes. I had a painting of sunflowers to get rid of, Anakin sent back.

[solo_sword]

What

[sith_happened]

It's been a weird week.

[solo_sword]

At least the twins are enjoying it. A lot.

Too much? They were three, this was big for them.

[sith_happened]

Well, elephants are a pretty big deal, Anakin said.

[solo_sword]

Daniel wants me to fish for him.

Uuuuuuugh.

[sith_happened]

Oh no, that'll take your whole day.

[solo_sword]

I hate it. I don't care what a sweetfish is. I thought we spoiled him out of thinking something like this was fun.

[sith_happened]

Well, maybe try the museum?

You could see a cool rickshaw chase and an explosion, maybe!

[solo_sword]

It'd be weirdly normal!

I think I will once we're done here. Maybe they'll learn something.

Like that rickshaws could explode.

[sith_happened]

Also that there was now a popcorn machine!

Well. Sort of.

Just wake up the owl if he's sleeping and he'll give you a tour.

[solo_sword]

totally normal.

[sith_happened]

They haven't tried to take over the island, at least?

[solo_sword]

Don't jinx it, this music is too annoying to be stuck with for an invasion.

[sith_happened]

It's been playing since Sunday, Anakin told her. It's awful.

[solo_sword]

Oh good. I guess when the music drives me to wanting to lightsaber someone in half it's time to go then.

[sith_happened]

Been there. It's important to push through that impulse because some of the animals are very, very irritating.

[solo_sword]

Which means they're the ones Dax and Daniel will like most.

She knew how this went! They were also old enough that she suspected they did it on purpose!

[sith_happened]

In that case, stay away from town hall, Anakin advised.

[solo_sword]

What's in town hall?

And then she braced herself for the answer.

[sith_happened]

The chirpiest dog...thing...ever.

[solo_sword]

I'll skip it.

[sith_happened]

Excellent plan, Anakin agreed. How long are you here?

[solo_sword]

We'll be leaving Monday, unless there's an urge to lightsaber anything.

Please let this be over by then. Jaina was not cut out for cheery.
