voice; misfire

[facultative]

[It's not Anakin's current voice, but instead the steady intonation of Darth Vader that is somehow sent in this message.]

The Emperor is disappointed in your lack of progress. I will be landing shortly to put things back on track.

[realists]

The Emperor can suck a Hutt.

[ it's automatic, she doesn't even think or question it. jyn erso says fuck the government. ]

[facultative]

[And then it's Anakin's confused voice.]

Who is this?

[realists]

What are you? You called me.

[ now she is! suspicious! this ship is supposed to be safe and she introduces herself by her real name generally, but the name attached to her device is not her name for a reason.

the reason is a healthy dose of saw gerrera inherited paranoia only barely mitigated by the announcement that things would be weird for a while. ]

[facultative]

What do you mean what am I? You're the one that called to talk about the the Chancellor and the Hutts.

[Anakin has none of her paranoia, but at the moment it doesn't occur to him to offer more information.]

[realists]

[ jyn audibly splutters before there is a beat of silence and: ]

I was not. I would rather chew off my own arm than talk politics.

[facultative]

Well I don't either. They can all jump in a sarlacc pit for all I care.

[realists]

[ an agreeable hum ]

We agree, then. So who are you?

[facultative]

I'm Anakin, you?

[realists]

I'm called Jyn.

[ she sounds like she comes straight from coruscant with her accent and her snippy attitude that is, at least, lessening now that she doesn't have to talk about politics. ]

Where are you from?

[facultative]

Coruscant. [He's not going to say Tatooine even if his accent is clearly Outer Rim.]

[realists]

You don't sound it.

[ she's so rude ]

[facultative]

So?

[Call him a liar and see what happens.]
