Empire State of Mind

[Madotsuki]

Why was it that the things she had an interest in always took forever? There was the factory takeover, and now this. In fact, she had been waiting so long that some Stormtroopers had made their way nearby while on patrol. Thankfully, she managed to flee the place without causing much of a scene. Once she had been sure they had left, she returned, only growing more nervous as time passed.

Madotsuki had just been about to turn tail and search somewhere else when the man in the ad finally arrived, loaded with groceries. She stood up to face him, nodding. The ad never actually showed his face, and now that she could see him more clearly, she had to admit that he was pretty impressive, albeit odd-looking; his hair reminded her of a samurai’s, but she was pretty sure that samurais never wore swirly t-shirts with hearts on them.

She bowed stiffly in greeting. Seeing as the man was trying to juggle retrieving the key and keeping the groceries intact, she walked up to the man and offered him a hand. Considering that the Empire was probably searching for her and the only friends she had here were a group of rebels all the way down in Tier 5, it might’ve been a good idea to make a good first impression.
