( It's been about a week since she was rescued and brought to the camp. The first mission hasn't happened yet but there is chatter about it coming up. The adults seem busy and stressed, and Leia is bored except for finding new ways to use her budding Heba power of Robotics Mastery. However, she feels limited in growing her skill by practice and application without a proper supply flow and, importantly, tools and a workshop. Sure, there is an armory and related things at the camp, but someone almost always shoes her away, and she wants her own place to focus and do what she wants. The precocious ten year old also thinks she is full of great ideas, and will happily tell you that herself.

The feed shows her in her room. Her hair is cleaned and done up the way she likes it again, braided like a crown on her head. She is wearing a flowing white blouse, pushed up at the arms, with a thick leather belt around her waist - sadly, she hasn't found Lola or Tala's holster she was given by Obi-Wan back home, so the belt is more a fashion accessory. Leia also has on loose emerald pants that cling closer to the leg at the bottom, tucked into brown - also leather - boots that she doesn't love but work for now.

Her room looks almost completely empty and unused despite having been at the camp a week (she been staying with Obi-Wan, mostly, and finding excuses to have sleepovers with nice people), except for some tools she stole acquired and a growing heap of mechanical scraps, wires, electronic bits, and generally related doodads and whatchamacallits. She looks very pleased with herself.

ooc: prose instead and switching to action 100% welcome! )

Hi everyone. It's Leia again. So, I have a question. Well...I guess it's also a request. I want to make a droid shop out of my room, so I can build and repair things and help people! But I need help turning my room into a workshop, and I need a LOT more supplies. I wanted to know if anyone would help me so I can help everyone else too!

ten? that might as well be five
I didn't know they were recruiting so young

[precociousprincess]

I don't know why they brought me here. I just work here.

...How old are you?

[nutbuckets]

these guys didn't bring you here, the sylphid did
but these guys let you into a rebellion
you must be a tough kid

31

[precociousprincess]

I mean here as in the planet, not the camp.
What were they supposed to do, rescue me and leave me out in the wild somewhere?
They say we can't go home. So I guess I live here now.

( it used all her willpower to remember lessons from bail and obi-wan about how words can be weapons and she should be nicer to people, not to add "wow, 31, might as well be 50" )

[nutbuckets]

oh that makes more sense
but yeah they weren't just gonna leave a kid in the jungle alone

so you build robots huh?

[precociousprincess]

I'm learning to! I can only really make small, basic droids for now. I was working on one the first night out of basically trash, but in a week I've been able to add to him and upgrade him a lot. His name is MeeBo. He can scan things and sync with the comm device they gave us when we got here, for now.

( she sends a picture of her little droid project. meebo looks a lot like this, but not exactly, because that is actually a canon droid from the series named bd-1 but also because he is a little smaller and doesn't have feet yet and also can't do like, 90% of what bd-1 can do yet )

[nutbuckets]

that's cool, kid, like seriously cool

wait you MADE that???

holy shi- uh
holy shoot

[precociousprincess]

Thanks! I think so. He mostly just likes to watch birds, so far. But I found someone who's going to teach me how to make droids do more useful things and actually understand more about what I'm doing and things she knows that I don't know yet, which is basically everything.

I like droids. They make good friends.

[nutbuckets]

oh yeah? who's gonna be helping you?

and watching birds is totally legit

[precociousprincess]

Her name is
I don't actually know how to spell her name but it sounds like Ballana, Belanna...? She's really nice.

I like watching birds and starships.

[nutbuckets]

b'elanna! I know her, she's great!

oh you must be a space person too, then, huh? there's so many here
