Excerpts From the Diary of a Handmaiden 5–Supporting Role–Sabé's Diary--Entry 10

Welcome to Lives of the Rich and Famous–Coruscant Edition. Today we're touring the guest quarters in the apartment of Senator Palpatine of Naboo.

Here, we have the sitting area, tastefully decorated in shades of crimson, scarlet, and, uh, red. Nice soft chairs...Fancy tables...Interesting artwork...this looks like something that's been chewed up by Furian dogs...and this one looks like it was painted by a nerf.

I know, I know...I have no taste in art. Unlike Eirtaé, who commented on the "wonderful form" of the dog-statue and the "vibrant colors" in the nerf painting. Go figure.

And here we have the sleeping area. Nice big soft bed. Verrry soft. I'd like to know why beds on Coruscant are so much softer than beds on Naboo. We need to sleep just as much as people here, right? Maybe I can get Padmé to order me one...

And over here we have the state-of-the-art entertainment system. Two–that's right–two holoviewers, tons of holovids to choose from, great sound system built into the walls actually. This is really cool. Okay, Sabé, tear yourself away and continue the tour.

And here we have the fitness room. Small, yet utilizing the latest technology. Hmm, sounds like something Yané would say...if she were here. And Saché would love the artwork, I bet.

Well, they'll get to see it all on this holo when we get back.

Moving on...here's the fresher. This is totally cool. I mean, the apartment is sort of small, but then you look at the fresher and it's huge. Check out all the marble–floors, sinks, tub. Even the, er... That's one I've never seen before. I think that's what Yané would call an Olympic-sized tub. What does "Olympic" mean, anyway? Nevermind.

Back into the sleeping area...I've got to show you the view...You just turn this dial on the wall, and it goes from opaque to...a Coruscant vista. Pretty neat, huh? I can't imagine how many people there are on this planet. I also can't believe that you could fly around the whole thing and not see anything but city. It's actually kinda creepy. But there'd always be something to do.

Well, now that we've been on the grand tour, and I have proof to show all the people who would never believe that I actually visited the quarters of a Senator on Coruscant, I'm going to take advantage of the amenities.

Tootaloo!
