open the new announcement of travel, cristina had immediately hopped on a ship to get off of tatooine. the planet was nothing but sand and she was pretty sure if she spent another afternoon patching up bounty hunters, she would absolutely explode. she had a decent amount of credits saved up and the pictures of naboo she had seen just looked so beautiful. upon arriving on the planet, she had stopped by the hotel housing the residents of woodshore. she was hungry and was hoping she could sneak out some free breakfast. she barely even looked up when the man started talking to her. “it’s called naboo,” she replied through a mouthful of bacon. “you must be—“ cristina looked up from her breakfast to examine the newbie, her heart practically stopping when she saw who it was. “holy shit… mark?”

Mark heard the voice and realized it was Cristina. “Cristina! Am I happy to see your face.” Although Mark was never close to Cristina he was extremely happy to see her face. Mark sat down beside her stealing a piece of her bacon. “Before you ask it is me and I’m alive.” Mark looked over at her before leaning back in his chair. “How long have you been here?”

“Dude..have you not seen Star Wars?” he asked, his mouth dropping. “This is like the first movie! But better!” Stefan answered, feeling his inner nerd come out. His lips turned up into a smile as he walked outside, grinning. “And this time, I’m not dreaming.”

Mark shook his head at him. “I’ve seen it maybe once. I don’t know much about it.” He couldn’t help but laugh slightly at the other and how offended he was he never saw Star Wars. “Have you had many dreams about Star Wars?” Mark was never into Star Wars as a kid.

“A whole different galaxy, if you want to be technical about it. I know it’s a lot to take in,” Julia spoke. Her own experiences made it easier to wrap her mind around, at least after a few days. But she knew it had to be a trip for other people. “I’ve been through this before, so I’m probably not the best person to be giving out advice but it’ll get a little easier to deal with in a few days.” She offered. “I’m Julia.”

“Hm,” he said processing exactly what she had said to him. “You’ve been through this before? I thought I went through some stuff.” He looked at her before continuing. “I’m Mark.” Mark really hadn’t an idea why he was here and it concerned him, even more, when she had said she had something like this happen before.

Sloan felt her heart leap into her throat when he said her name. She couldn’t help it; despite the urge to rush forward and see him up close, she was rooted to the spot. Even on an alien planet and a different lifetime worth of memories in her mind now, seeing Mark alive felt impossible. Sloan had never been great with having an imagination, but this didn’t feel like that. Somehow without realizing, her feet seemed to carry her forward, pausing a few feet away. “You –” She choked out, eyes wide. “I thought you were … how are you alive?”

Mark watched her move towards him. Last time he had seen Sloan she was leaving and that was the end. He never saw her again, until now. “Yea, I don’t know how I’m alive but I just know I was told I was going to Woodshore. Yet,” he said looking around. “I’m on a different planet.” He still couldn’t believe that his own daughter was here as well. Why would Sloan be here?

Astoria released another breath after taking a sip of the blue drink. It helped relieve some of the tension in her as she pieced everything that’s happened so far. She was about to take another sip of the delicious milk when a man approached her. “Erm, from what I’ve gathered, we’re in a planet called from Naboo. Far from Earth, it seems, if that’s where you’re from.” Astoria cringed, not meaning to sound so pessimistic about it. “I’ve yet to figure out how I got here to begin with.”

“Naboo? Strange name. Yeah, I’m from Earth. Are you from Earth?” He noticed the drink and looked at it. Was that alcohol? What in the world is that? “That’s about where I’m at, too.” He debating asking about the strange drink but did it anyway. “What are you drinking?” Mark pulled up a chair to sit down.

Gyro actually looked rather surprised when he heard the other mention being held captive by the aliens. “You actually think I’d let myself get captured without putting up a fight? Look I might not look like much but I am an inventor sir, I could have made something to protect myself if I truly thought I I needed to.” There was a fair amount of emphasis on the word inventor as he leaned against the wall. He paused slightly before nodding slightly at the second part though. “Some of the people here are from Woodshore so perhaps someone you know is here.”

Mark listened as he was going on about putting up a fight and being an inventor. “I didn’t say anything about you not putting up a fight. Who wouldn’t put up a fight? An inventor? What do you invent exactly?” He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the other. “Maybe, I haven’t seen anyone I know yet. Doesn’t mean I won’t though.” He was wondering if he’s an inventor like he says why doesn’t he just built something to get out of this planet.

“i… haven’t gotten the slightest idea,” eddie admitted with a weak chuckle, his hand coming up and scratching the back of his neck. he had barely begun to figure out this place. “about a week now. i just woke up here – i haven’t gotten a clue how.”

Mark wanted to know why he was here. All he knew was that he wanted to see someone he knew. Although, it was nice to see another human. “We could try to figure it out. Do you know much about this planet?” Mark looked over and saw a small creature running around. He shook his head at it.

“Yeah, neither have I. It’s like this place sprang out of nothing,” Veronica shrugged, arms folding over themselves and holding the diary close to her chest. The question gave her pause, head tilting to the side as she thought about it. “I’ve looked around some. I’ll tell you this for free, we’re definitely not anywhere like home anymore.”

Mark rested his hand on the chair beside him. “You could say that,” he said. Mark looked at her holding the small book and back at her. “For free? Do I have to pay you for the information because I have no money for that? I can tell we are nowhere near home. There are strange little creature looking things running around.”

lexie & mark

lexie knew as soon as he turned and he was facing her, that she wasn’t dreaming at all. though, she wasn’t sure how it all made sense. the brunette couldn’t move even though she wanted to run up and wrap her arms around him to make sure that it wasn’t all just her imagination. she took a deep breath, before taking a few steps forward closer to him and the front desk. ❝ i-thought you were dead. ❞ she nearly whispered under her breath. 

Mark looked at Lex at couldn’t actually believe she was real. Taking a deep breath before answering her question, which really came out as a statement. “I thought you were dead. I watched you die, Lex.” He slowly took a step towards her. Slowly reaching for her hand to see if she was real. After touching her he realized she was alive and real. All Mark ever wanted was to be with Lexie and he let too many things get in the way to many times. It broke him to watch her die under that plane wing.

Gyro raised a brow at the comment about why he’d been so annoyed. He took a breath before running a hand through his hair then he forced a small smile. “ Well being dumped on an alien planet without any warning doesn’t sit well with me. I mean sure this place isn’t the worst place that I could imagine being stuck on but still… a little warning would have been nice.”

Mark watched him before responding. “It could be worst you could be held captive by the aliens, which doesn’t seem like we are being held captive by them. A warning would have been very nice considering I was supposed to be in Woodshore.” Mark was stressing out a little bit but he didn’t let it show on his face. He didn’t need people worrying about him.

gale hadn’t thought too hard about where he was. his first instinct had been to survive, and whatever happened… that was the most important thing. he needed to find katniss, make sure she was safe. this could have been a capitol trap. a way to keep them all huddled together, like turkeys, primed for the hunt. “i haven’t figured it out yet,” gale reported, trying not to let his concern read over his features. “i saw the card. i know this is called naboo, but… that’s it.” even if he knew, gale thought, not point in revealing it to someone else until he knew whether or not they were safe. 

Mark thought about it, what the hell is a Naboo? He said, “Naboo? I knew I should’ve read that card.” Mark looked at the man and could see a bit of concern on his face but decided to ignore it and figure out what was going on. “Are you from Woodshore?” He looked like a human and not like one of these creatures he was seeing. He had to be a human, didn’t he?

Naboo wasn’t that bad, so far as strange places to end up. At least not when, at the end of the day, Veronica was convinced that when she woke up somewhere unknown it would be hell. That didn’t mean it wasn’t hard to adjust to, especially with the new memories going through her mind. “Ever hear of Naboo? Part of some - chrommel system?” She responded, glancing up from the diary in her hand, shutting it firmly. “– No, I don’t know much about it. I’m not exactly stoked about it. I guess you just woke up here one day, too, right?” 

“I haven’t heard of it before. Do you-” he said before being interrupted. “Yeah, I was supposed to be in Woodshore barely made it there before I woke up here.” He could feel the tension in the air. “Have you done anything on this planet yet?”

Maybe it was irresponsible (something that Sloan was a champion at), to get on a spaceship the first chance she got. A spaceship - because why not? But she couldn’t stand another day on Tatooine; the sand that stretched for miles, the two suns. It was more than she could handle, and if she got into any trouble, that wasn’t surprising. What was she if not made for trouble? So she got on a ship, ending up somewhere called Naboo. Definitely less scorching than the first, but still … weird. Sloan was in the city, trying to acclimate, get a lay of the land, when her eyes landed on someone in the distance that froze her to the spot. “– Mark?” She mumbled, not believing her eyes. It had to be impossible, her father was gone. But there he was, anyway. Clearing her throat, Sloan called louder, trying to get his attention, still rooted to the spot. “Dad!”

Mark had been on Naboo for a while now and there was no sight of going home or anyone he knew. He was accepting defeat at this point and had decided to make the best of this strange planet. Mark made his way to a shop to get some food. With no luck, he walked outside of the shop empty-handed. He rubbed his face trying to think of his next move. Mark was so concentrated he didn’t hear the voice until he thought he was hearing Sloan’s voice. He shook his head and looked right at her. There’s no way she is here, too. “Sloan?”

@sloanmethod-marksloan​. lexie grey & mark sloan on naboo. 

lexie had been working as a merchant since she arrived on alderaan. it had only taken her a few days to pick up the trade and she became pretty good at bargaining with people fast. it wasn’t anything like she expected, but it got her enough money to survive until she found a way to get back to woodshore. as some of the trade routes had open, lexie decided that it’d be a good idea to head to another planet and see if there was anything worth wild there for her to trade or maybe someone there from her past. deep down, she was still trying to find everybody who had been on the plane crash, but it had take a back seat in her mind since arriving on alderaan. the brunette caught a spot on one of the ships heading to naboo, hoping that something would turn out. while on the ship, lexie couldn’t have been more nervous just replaying the plane crash over and over in her head. as soon as the ship landed safely, she couldn’t have been happier. once she got off the plane, the brunette headed towards the hotel, to hopefully get a room for the night. as she entered the lobby, she felt like she had seen a ghost or rather heard one. ❝ mark? is that you? ❞

Mark had been on Naboo now for a few days and he hadn’t seen anyone he recognized. He was getting nervous that he might be stuck here again and without anyone, he knew. Deciding it was time to go get something to eat he got up from his hotel room and went down to the lobby. He walked up to the person at the desk. “Do you have recommendations on food?” He heard a familiar voice and froze. Mark turned around to see Lexie. “Lex?” He stood there staring at her in disbelief.

The look of confusion was one Julia was familiar with; she had it too, at first. But after the first week, and then the second, slowly it was easier to get used to. Maybe it was because she had been to another world before. “It’s a different planet. Not anything you’d find in the solar systems we learned about growing up, so if you’ve never heard of it that’s not surprising,” she offered, a small sympathetic smile on her face. “Which yeah, sounds totally insane but you kinda get used to it.”

“So you’re telling me are on some random planet? That we have no knowledge about.” Mark shook his head at the other. He noticed her smile and smiled back at her enough though he was extremely confused. “It does. Hopefully, that feeling goes away soon.”

Stefan woke up that morning, feeling refreshed and ready to go for another day at Woodshore, when he found himself in a strange place that he’d only seen in a movie before, once or twice in his life. Hearing someone asking him a question, he turned and shrugged. “I think we’re in Naboo-though it can’t be since it’s in a movie.”

“Naboo? What is a Naboo?” Mark hadn’t a clue what he was talking about and it caused him more confusion. He looked around to see if he saw anyone he recognized.

“SOMEONE ELSE FEELS A little out of it, then?” nina remarked as she regarded the other with what she hoped was a welcoming enough smile, though letting out a slight laugh. in solidarity, she liked to think, considering she had been in a similar enough situation. “this place is…naboo. i don’t know the logistics of it, but i arrived out of the blue also,” she moved to explain, trying to not fall into her usual state of rambling forth. there was a fair bit she could spill out about this place, though not answers. no one seemed to have those. 

Mark shook his head in agreement. “Yea, a little out of it you could say.” He looked around as he listened. “Strange, I was told I was going to Woodshore and I ended up here. Do you know much about this place?”
