[asking-for-apologies]

I dropped my reading glasses in the Land of the Living during my last haunting of the Galactic Senate. If anyone sees them, please return them. I would very much like to finish the novel I'm reading. Thank you!

[ask-sad-ghost-piett]

I need to find one of those Axxilan orange gourds that you can set on fire and throw at people across bridges. What are they called in Galactic Basic again?

[mistress-of-the-empire]

Are...are you referring to pumpkin? Admiral?

[ask-sad-ghost-piett]

Yes! Precisely that! I require at least two dozen.

[mistress-of-the-empire]

Sorry to bust your bubble but it's a bit to early in the season to get them on mass.

Youll have to wait for at least a few more weeks before you can reap any mayhem.

If you need something now though I suggest going on to the holonet and find a temp replacement for them.

I'd go with modified droid poppers. Those things are cheap and everywhere

[asking-for-apologies]

I repeat: Please do not give Admiral Piett a pumpkin during any season.

Yes! Precisely that! I require like at least two dozen.

[asking-for-apologies]

Please do not give Piett any pumpkins or other vegetable in the gourd family.

My little goodbye

I don't like hypocrisy and false drama, so I won't lie that the death of the actor who played Lort Needa was as tragic for me as the death of my relative or something like that. I have no idea what kind of person he was, I never knew him, was not interested in his biography and did not even watch a single film with him except “The Empire Strikes Back.” It's not something I'm going to cry nonstop about for the next week, and yet…I'm sorry. It's sad to learn that people who were part of the world that was so close and loved to me are leaving forever. Needa was one of the first characters I fell in love with when I actually became part of the fandom and wasn't just watching the movies for the first time while sitting on the couch with my mom. And so I still wanted to say my goodbye.

I don't know if I did a good job. I don't think Needa looks much like himself, but I actually tried. I drew him smiling and holding flowers because unfortunately in the movie this poor guy didn't get his happy ending. Overall he had very little screen time, but there is still a lot to love about this character. Even though I have other guys as my favorites now, he, like Piett, will always be the classics I come back to.

Rest in peace, Michael Culver. I hope you have been happy in your life⭐

If I fold and burn one thousand paper X-Wings in the afterlife, will it cause some kind of mystical phenomenon and destroy the New Republic Fleet?

[thistechnologicalterror]

WELL...

THERE MIGHT BE A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL, IF IT PLEASES YOU.

[ask-sad-ghost-piett]

What about ten thousand? I have an eternity to fold them.

[asking-for-apologies]

Firmus, are you feeling alright?

Enlistment quotas are hard

I'm running out of ideas

Offer them free Fluorescent Ice Cream. It works every time.

-Admiral Piett

[max-veers]

Fluorescent Ice Cream, you say

[ask-sad-ghost-piett]

Unfortunately, I’ve been told that it is only for new recruits as the radioactivity is at a level that it is only safe for once in a lifetime consumption.

I did fetch you a pint of double chocolate marshmallow ice cream however which is in the freezer.

I would be inclined to fetch another if the army would adopt Lt. Venka.

[max-veers]

… theoretically, there is an amount of double chocolate marshmallow ice cream that would get me to consider your offer, but I assure you, it is not two pints.

[ask-sad-ghost-piett]

Four pints then.

[max-veers]

… Tempting.

But you would have to ensure @asking-for-apologies never finds out I intend to eat them all in one sitting

[asking-for-apologies]

General Veers, did you realize you tagged me on this post?

[max-veers]

… Can I ask interest you in another officer for your ship, Captain?

[asking-for-apologies]

No, thank you.

[max-veers]

Then would I be able to convince you to turn a blind eye to my accepting five pints of double chocolate marshmallow ice cream to get him out of Piett’s hair?

[asking-for-apologies]

I don't know if Lt. Venka would be suited for the army, General, any more than five pints of ice cream are suitable nutrition for human.

Greetings Imperial Citizens,

@max-veers and I require your assistance in planning our wedding.

Should we hold the Wedding Ceremony on the Bridge or in an AT AT?

[ask-sad-ghost-piett]

It appears the Holonet suggests a Bridge wedding. What do you think, dear? @max-veers

[max-veers]

I think that sounds lovely.

I’m sure if we hang enough string lights, we can cover the gaping hole

(Unless, of course, you are considering a different bridge, in which case I might still enjoy some string lights)

[asking-for-apologies]

You are more than welcome to use the Avenger's bridge. Congratulations to you both.

I CONCUR. JELLO'D NUTRIENT DRIP IS VERY MEDICINAL.

[thistechnologicalterror]

NO, GENERAL.

YOU WILL ENCOURAGE THE TROOPS TO EAT GREEN SLIME WITH THAT LOGIC.

AND AS WE ALL KNOW, THAT SIMPLY INCREASES THE CHANCES OF GREEN SLIME COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DEAD BODIES. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AND MUST BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.

[max-veers]

My lord, I assure you that almost all of my soldiers are smart enough to distinguish between dangerous slime and nutritious jello.

Sgt. Altrice maybe not so much, but I’m sure we can work with xir and avoid any more… Incidents

[thistechnologicalterror]

GENERAL, I CAN ASSURE YOU, AFTER A LIFETIME OF SERVICE OF BOTH BEING AN OFFICER AND SOLDIER, A PEACEKEEPER AND AN INSTIGATOR...

YOU ARE GIVING OUR PEOPLE TOO MUCH CREDIT.

[max-veers]

If I can’t trust my people with mysterious slimes, it hardly seems reasonable that I trust them to operate gigantic tanks…

[asking-for-apologies]

I don't know, General. I caught a few of your lieutenants daring each other to lick an AT-AT the other day.

Do you need to borrow my eyeliner since yours was stolen by rabbits?

-@ask-sad-ghost-piett

If there are rabbits on board we have much larger problems, Admiral. They are probably tearing apart the crew with their teeth and claws right this instant

… but if you happen to have some, I won’t say no

[asking-for-apologies]

I do not think you and I have the same idea of what a rabbit is.

[max-veers]

Since my last poll went so well, please help me solve another argument.

Are Raccoons Real?

No, but they are mythical creatures.

No, Admiral Motti made them up.

No, but Admiral Motti firmly believes they are real.

Yes, but they’re extinct now.

Yes, they are real creatures.
