open } { here he comes to troll you all
[Citizens of Coruscant, congratulations! You are getting a flash of … Alec’s stomach. Mind you, it’s a very nice stomach, but it’s not Alec’s head as he’s currently trying to force a shirt over his head. He’s probably the one Outworlder who wasn’t pissed by losing his clothes upon arrival. Clearly whoever kidnapped him strip searched him to look for weapons. It’s what he would do.
Sadly, that means he now has no weapons. Boo.
Eventually, his head appears, and he flashes the people watching a bright smile.]
So, Star Wars, huh? Pretty cool. Never seen the original films, but I actually stole the film reel to Episode Seven once. They never made it, and my partner at the time was never really clear on why, but it seemed like such a waste. Still. Made like twenty g’s off it so it was obviously worth something. Apparently it’s worth more in some dusty vault than it is being shown to the masses.
[ponders that for all of a half a second before coming back to the rest of the class]
Still, space. And me without my towel.
[he hasn’t seen Star Wars, but he’s read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. So sue him.]
Anyway.
This isn’t my first time at the multiverse rodeo, which is probably going to help me more than it helps all of you, but a couple things before we get to the introduction portion of the evening. Number one, transgenics-how does the world feel about them? I’m guessing with the sci-fi background they might be a little more open minded than most, but that’s never really a guarantee with these things. Last time this happened, I was in fairy world so it was all magic and castles, and woods, and not a whole lot on the advanced technology front, but they were still pretty open minded.
Number two-if I’m still in fairy world, I think this is quite the awesome upgrade.
Finally-where can a guy get a decent piece around here? I get that the strip search was necessary, but I’m feeling a little naked right now, so any help would be appreciated. And if this is a hostile takeover where we’re really prisoners of war and we’re being denied weapons, you guys should be aware of something-
[there’s a small dangerous smile that is not at all cocky and every bit predatory]
-I really don’t need one. I just like them.
[a beat, and the friendly smile returns to his face]
Oh, and I’m Alec. In case you were wondering.
