POV: Your commanding officer would rather insincerely flirt and annoy you than open up.

Be me: Lifelong Star Wars fan finally gives KOTOR a try after husband passively encourages it for... 9+ years now.

Plays a female scout, gets through Endar Spire, then barely starts on Taris. Has to end there since it's a work night.

Reports on game progress to Mr Panda.

Mr. Panda: "Oh yeah, Carth is a potential romantic interest. So is Bastila."

Me: "Carth. Yeah, I can see it."

Keep in mind I don't remember whether I had that first support conversation with Carth or not yet by the time we talked about this.

~ NEXT DAY ~

Carth: "I'm all ears, beautiful."

Me: Crap.

*Starts up a male soldier playthough with a character who looks the most like my irl husband to play side by side with the first playthrough and 1) see how well the canon Bastila romance holds up, and 2) not lose my mind over Carth*

*pounds fist onto desk a la J. Jonah Jameson*

I need an Ember Island Players style stage play of the events of KOTOR 1 as told by HK-47, and I need it yesterday!

Blew through a ton of KOTOR over the weekend, but I have to wait a whole work day to get to KOTOR's endgame.

But I did at least get to the Star Forge itself.

--- musings below ---

*After light side female Revan's party disembarks the Ebon Hawk and they're found by Dark Jedi*

Mission: "Welp. So much for the element of surprise. But now that they know we're here..."

*Recruits T3 to hack into the Star Forge's speaker system*

"Alexa, play "What It Sounds Like" by HUNTR/X."

Back to my KOTOR (mis)adventures...

Context: Mr. Panda has played this game many times since he was a kid, choosing a male player character each time. I finally started playing it about a month ago. I accidentally yet willingly spoiled the upcoming conversation for myself via Tumblr searches for Carth art (yes, the brainrot is strong no, I don't want to talk about it), and so I've had this interaction I've been looking forward to sharing with my husband for the last couple weeks.

Me:

*summons Mr. Panda upon unlocking that infamous female player character exclusive support conversation with Carth*

"So I've just been teasing Carth. What's worse, his reaction or my possible responses to it?"

Mr. Panda:

*reads the Carth line* "What in the boomer humor is this?" /mildly amused

*reads the possible player character responses* "Choose that one." /even more amused

Me: *selects "Is that a promise?"*

Carth: "Oh, no, I'm not even going there, sister."

Mr. Panda and I: *both laughing*

~ Mr. Panda stays for the additional dialog ~

Mr. Panda: "Now choose that one."

Me: *selects "It's alright. I don't mind if you watch me."*

Carth: "Ha! Why didn't you tell me that sooner? You would have saved me a lot of trouble."

Mr. Panda and I: *more cackling*

[themerrypanda]

Wow. If I had a credit for each time I got hit on by creeps in KOTOR, I'd have two credits. Which isn't a lot, but it's kinda weird that it happened twice.

[themerrypanda]

Another day of KotOR: I've adopted a gremlin child into my found family and Carth effortlessly assumes the father role.

If I were more artistically capable and inclined I might draw the found family as Spy x Family. Sith x Family, you might say

Instead, have a "heh"

(Better color, less better expression under cut)
