What planet are you from?

Feel free to include sector, star system, everything. Just in case.

I thought this might be a good place to start as far as gathering information goes.

[merging]

So is it near Earth?

[ryuji]

[No, this is wrong... and way too easy.]

Nah, I'm just bustin' you. I'm from Earth. We got 8 planets in our solar system, but none of em are places we can live on.

Well, we used to have 9 but that's a different story

[merging]

So there's only humans on Earth, but are there different species on the other planets? And what happened to the 9th one????

sorry i did that hover over subscribe thing D:

[ryuji]

I don't think so? I mean, we haven't really gotten that far out there yet. Or maybe we have and the government doesn't want us to know, I dunno.

The 9th one was named Pluto but he was such a runt that the scientist nerds decided to kick em outta the cool kids club

no worries my dude

[merging]

Huh.

No offense but that's so weird? Like knowing about these planets, but not having space travel advanced enough to go to them

And one sentient species existing but no others??

[ryuji]

I guess our worlds had different priorities? It's kinda weird, to me, to know I'm talkin to an alien

Like it's kinda wild

I'm expecting you to have 6 eyes and a ton of extra limbs and appendages suited for eating humans

Anyway, we're kinda obsessed with ourselves so it's hard for us to even think that there's something more than us out there, y'know?

[merging]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm completely human. Just so we can get that out of the way.

[ryuji]

Oh damn, really? I thought you were just hiding the tentacles under your jumpsuit

[merging]

Nah. 100% human. Although I guess some of you guys still count me as an alien since I'm not from Earth?

[ryuji]

Yep. Told ya the world revolves around us.

Just embrace it. It'll make you look cooler.

[merging]

Thanks, but I'd say I'm pretty cool already. That and alien has a different meaning where I'm from.

[ryuji]

Goddamn! That confidence level is through the roof.

You're gonna have to put your money where your mouth is and prove yourself.

[He already kind of thought Ezra was a pretty cool person, even after their collision earlier.]

Uh

Wait

So like

Am I an alien to you?

[merging]

Well how many planets have you been to? I mean I'd try to actually prove it, but that would mean blowing my incredibly great cover of the super amiable holonet user Palpatine

You're a human, right? So you're not an alien. Alien refers to sentients who are nonhuman so like Twi-leks or Togruta

which means nothing to you

[ryuji]

Just one

I mean, I was on a space station before but it was kinda... make believe? If that makes sense.

It probably doesn't make sense. Forget it...

Nope, what's a Twi-lek? Is it like a Wooky?

[...]

[merging]

Like a simulation of a space station?

Wookiee

And they're both alien species. I could try to describe them further, but there's not much of a point?

[ryuji]

Kind... of

But it was a lot more dangerous than that

There were all these airlock puzzles that shot you from one door to another... confusin as shit

Eh, probably

But I'm curious to know what's out there other than the little blue green globe that orbits our sun. It's really not... everyday that you get to talk to someone like you, y'know?

[merging]

I mean I don't know? Not everyone in my galaxy is exactly like me obviously, but there's still countless people who regularly travel through space.

But a blue and green planet with one sun sounds a lot like my home world! I mean there are lots of planets with that description but it just so happens to fit my world and yours I guess! How many moons does Earth have?

[ryuji]

Well if they're even 10% like you, then it's worth tryin to meet em all

We got one moon. Why? You make it sound like you got a few of em

Are you trying to make me satellite jealous?

[merging]

We have two moons.

Are you jealous?

[ryuji]

[Don't make a butt joke... don't make a butt joke...]

Okay, but do both of your moons have men in them or look like a cheese wheel?

And... uh

That's all I got.

Wait, what about your tides? Aren't they connected? You must have the best waves. Is surfing a thing where you're from?

[merging]

Uh they're regular moons

Or they're regular to me? I'm not sure how to explain any of this sorry

But the area I grew up in is landlocked. Just plains and more plains and then some mountains.

[ryuji]

It's cool. I'm asking some questions to pull your leg a little bit anyway.

I grew up in Tokyo, in a country called Japan. It's a huge metropolis, but the entire country's basically an island mass with lotsa little islands sprinkled around it. Gets humid as shit during the warmer months.

Were there any places like that anywhere you've been?

[Wanderlust.jpg]

[merging]

I can't think of anything exactly like that off the top of my head, but I know plenty of cities.

Most of the places I go to aren't exactly the biggest tourist spots in the galaxy, though. Like Coruscant, the whole planet's a big city and it's the capital of the Empire. Never been there, though.

[ryuji]

Dude, an empire?

If there's anything my 17 years of video gaming has taught me is that empires are always pretty effin evil

[merging]

Well you'd be completely right about the Galactic Empire

It's totally evil

which is probably very funny coming from my username but unfortunately you cannot appreciate my super specific galactic humor :(
