Forget all your troubles

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and instantly realize something is wrong.

There is a vague feeling of dread hanging in the air and, as comfortable as this bed is, there’s just something off about everything, even before you open your eyes. The dread only grows when you open your eyes and realize that you are in a completely unfamiliar room. One that has clearly seen better days at that.

As you explore your room, you will soon find a bedroom key resting on the dresser along with a note]

Welcome, esteemed guest, to our humble abode. We hope that you enjoy your stay in this Phantom Manor, as we expect you to stay with us for a very long time.

Feel free to make yourself at home as you enjoy what this manor has to offer, whether it’s the library, our projection room, or our famous wax museum. We’re sure you will find great joy

However, before you can get too comfortable, we ask you to please come to the portrait gallery at noon so we can discuss your stay here.

We eagerly await to meet you.

-Your Host

[The uncomfortable feeling doesn’t let up as you leave the safety of your bedroom. The manor seems old and decrepit, almost like it would fall over at the slightest breeze. Despite that, anyone who tries to escape will soon realize that the walls are unusually sturdy, and there are no doors that would seemingly lead to the outside world.

Still, at least you’re not alone in this scenario, if the other bedroom doors are any indications. Maybe there are a few more people coming out of their bedrooms too, so you have someone to talk toif you want to try to figure out what's going on. But if the 30 bios in the foyer hall are any indication, whoever has you here did not do this on accident. Whatever you’re here for, it seems like you’re here for a reason.

But hey, what’s the use of being pessimistic about this? Maybe it’s all an innocent situation… right?]

Anywhere outside the Empire's influence should probably stay that way if they can. You must be out beyond the Outer Rim somewhere.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Galactic troubles sound like a huge bummer.

Maaaybe? Aliens stop by every now and then but also not often? It really depends on the time of year.

[astronomics]

A lot of things can happen that far out. But yes, the Empire is a huge bummer, and then some.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Evil empires really don't seem practical when you get down to it. I mean, it's so much subjugation and institutionalized violence. Feels like it's a lot easier to just. Not enslave people to benefit yourself?

[astronomics]

One would think. And yet, here we are.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Tsk tsk. Just goes to show ya, there's always somebody who needs a good punch to the head.

[astronomics]

Or a solid hit from a truncheon to the knees.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

You.

[She points at Jyn pointedly with an air of pointedness.]

I like you and the thoughts you rode in on.

[astronomics]

[ A smirk. ]

What can I say, I've beaten my share of stormtroopers.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Aw beans, space has those too? [Granted, she doesn't.... think there's any stormtroopers still around, but with Hydra you never know.]

Yeah, those guys prob need a good whallop or three.

[astronomics]

They're the main soldiers of the Empire. Bright white armor, black padding underneath on most of them. You have something called stormtroopers on Earth?

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Sounds evil as heck. We had, uhhhh, some guys in camo with big honking guns trying to conquer counties. And also guys wearing green tights and yellow overalls, but I don't know if that counted.

[astronomics]

Green tights and... yellow overalls? That's one way to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, I suppose.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

I think 90% of villains need, like, a tailor or something.

[astronomics]

The colors would make them easy to hit, at least.
