Who has no job because of the coronavirus? This girl. Who needs to be distracted by fun things so they don't break? EVERYONE. This is an experiment. These little snapshots don't fit into my star wars story I'm wiritng but I want to write them anyway, so I'm posting them here.
Akial, is a Jawa Jedi Knight who was adopted by Mirta. Well, they adopted each other, so Akial is actually a former Jedi Knight, now Mando bounty hunter who is partners with Mirta, who is his sister according to Mando Adoption. Follow me?
(he's actually from an RPG with the scenario Paarty on, I didn't actually invent him, alas)
Mirta is Mirta Gev. She's Boba Fett's Granddaughter.
Sintas Vel is Mirta and now Akial's grandmama. She was married to Fett for like ten minutes. Just kidding, it's more complicated than that. Look her up! She's pretty cool.
Jintar, Ghes and Dinua are Mandalorians who are close with the Fett's (Mirta, Boba) Ghes is actually married to Mirta.
This is an experiment. If you like it, I'll keep going. If not, I won't.
All these characters and more in my story Jawa Jedi Knight and his Mandalorian Sister, but you don't have to read it if you don't want to.
Enjoy! Or don't. I'm not your boss.
"What are you doing Akial?" Mirta puts a hand in front of her face, blocking his holo-cam feed of her.
He lowers the cam and puts it aside.
(Most people have a misinformed and negative idea about Mandalorians. This way people will see that we're normal.)
"How is this going to educate people?"
(People will watch this and see.)
He goes back to the cam and points it back to her.
"Hi," she waves slowly. Off camera, he motions for her to keep going. Mirta is frozen. She opens her arms wide and shows off the ship with an awkward smile.
"My ship! Ta da!" She wiggles her fingers.
Akial turns off the cam. She can't see it, but she knows he's making a face.
"That was painful."
He agrees.
Ghes appears in front of the cam and waves. He points ahead, and the cam zooms in.
"Ah, here we are in the wild forests of Mandalore," Ghes says in a very thick interpretation of a Concordian accent," if we are very lucky, we shall see some of the local wildlife."
Ghes points widely again and the cam tries to follow.
"There! A wild Dinua has appeared! Let's go see if we can make contact!" Ghes takes off and the cam shakes as Akial follows in hot pursuit. They both stop suddenly. Dinua, in full armor pauses, she looks at the camera and then to Ghes.
"What are you doing?" Dinua has not met Akial yet and she watches him carefully. She has her fingers on her side-arm.
"Ah, perfect. We been granted an approach. Now easy, easy. Always approach wild Mandalorians slowly, they can be easily frightened and then you end up dead," Ghes walks towards the confused female slowly with a hand reaching out.
"What accent is that? What is this?" She swats his hand away and Ghes jumps backwards melodramatically.
"Always let the Mandalorian have the power. Females like this one tend to be right cranky between their heat cycles."
"Oh, you want to see cranky. I'll show you cranky!" She whips out her weapons and aims them at Ghes.
Ghes grabs the camera, "This has been Ghes and Akial:Mandalorians in the wild! Mirta, avenge me!" They take off running.
Sintas is laying out on a lounge chair. Her hair is down, she's wearing a black bikini and has on shades. She's acknowledges the cam, before she relaxes again in her own universe.
The Cam zooms out. Instead of being outside on some beach somewhere, she's in the mud room of the house. Two large lamps are shining on her to mimic the sun.
"Do what you gotta do." She says.
"Akial," Mirta's voice off camera says," what does our ba'buir light bathing have to do with Mandalorian Education?"
The cam zooms in.
"Akial."
Mirta's hand blocks the view feed. There is cursing in Mando'a and the cam turns down, filming the floor.
"Male viewers can go—"
The feed cuts off completely.
"I'm not wearing underwear today! I'm not wearing underwear today!" Ghes sways his hips and continues his song. Vevut and Sintas watch, trying to hard not to appear amused. Their faces burn from keeping their smiles off their faces. How does Fett do this? They both ponder.
"I'm not wearing underwear; I'm not wearing underwear today!" He jumps and spins.
"That's what Commando Armor means!" Mirta slaps her face with faux realization. Ghes nods and winks and continues.
Jaina waves at the camera.
"Okay, what do we have going here?" Ghes asks off cam. Jaina shows off several cups she has lined in three rows.
"And what are you going to do?"
Jaina steps to the side of the table and the cups suddenly all flip over collectively. The Cam turns to face Ghes and Akial and then back to Jaina.
"That's not what it means!"
"It's not?"
"Ugh, you're the worst Jedi ever." Ghes says dramatically.
"I'll try it again!"
"And now," Ghes says from behind the cam," air ballet."
He points the camera upwards and zooms. Akial is in the air, he waves and starts to get his groove on. He shakes his hands; tip taps those feet and then strides forward as if swimming in the air. He sways his hips, kicks out a leg and then gracefully turns slowly, he had one hand bent at a nice curve in the air and his he moves down to his midsection as he bends.
"That's what they teach you at the Skywalker Academy. Get it? Skywalker. Hah, hey!"
"And now, for something different," Ghes says and smiles at the cam.
The cam follows Jintar. He pauses and looks over.
"Jintar pauses. It's just another day for the Mando. He never breaks away from his routine. He as usual, refuses to stray away from the mold and goes for the easy route, the route where thought is not often involved as he moves on auto-pilot." Ghes narrates in a monotone voice.
"What are you doing?" Jintar feels somewhat self-conscious now.
"He asks, but there is no one around. The passer-by wonders, is today the day he has finally lost it? They've often wondered when he would fall into madness."
"Who has?"
"His sanity is quickly dissolving."
"It is?"
"Succumb." Ghes whispers in a deep gravelly voice.
Jintar drops to his knees, claws at his ears and screams. The cam slowly pans to Ghes who has a mad still smile plastered on his face.
"So now, this is a real big deal. We've got a super star here." Ghes says to the cam. Mirta looks miserable.
"You have to promise not to film him, or he'll figure it out and break the cam." Mirta says. The cam moves up and down.
The door to a room opens and the cam turns to the ground.
"Mirta?"
"Ba'buir, I thought I could help you today. I heard you were missing something." Mirta walks over to the side table. The cam films her actions. She tosses things around and moves to the dresser, she does the same, rifle through things and throws things about.
"What are you looking for?"
The cam zooms on Mirta.
"Your happiness." She poses theatrically.
