Minji I dreamed an isekai'd OC who Is A Tooka living in the Jedi temple. They may show as a force sensitive Tooka, but Is A Tooka. Cat Shenanigans unfolded that somehow, inexplicably (to the Jedi, not to our Tooka) began to change the shape of the SW future for the better.
Also becyghe mental image of Dooku wanting his planner data pad VS one (1) hangry hissing tooka putting it's paw on both the start call to grandpadawan button AND the record button, for that call to go thru, and all poor Obi hears is his grandmaster trying and failing to negotiate with the Tooka for his things to check in before planet alignment made the signal wonky? 10/10. All the cam sees is a Tooka paw and a smidge of Dookus hands as they play keep-away
Look... sometimes a man needs a therapy cat.
SOMETIMES you go on a routine "how's the wife? How's the kids? Why yes, I AM a jedi. Smile for the camera droids." Political mission....and everything fuckin catches FIRE.
Planetary leaders are up to Shady Shit(ugh. Of course they are. Why is he not suprised), there are assassination attempts(mid at best. You didn't even dish out for the GOOD assassins? He's actually insulted now), and INEVITABLY? He finds himself in some stars be damned Textbook Ethics Violation of a lab!
Why is it ALWAYS a horror holo of a lab!? What are you people, Sith!?
They are TRYING to make fuckin Sithspawn. Because of COURSE they were.
Illegal. You absolutely MORALLY BANKRUPT [expletives in Dai Bendu]. And to be imbeciles on top!? Just spit in his FACE next time! It'd be LESS offensive!!! You can't make SITHSPAWN WITHOUT SITH ALCHEMY YOU-! Actually? No. No, he is NOT going to explain this to you.
Absolutely EVERYONE in this building is going to jail. Preferably forever.
But THEN! *plaintive mroow noise* *biggest, saddest, skrungly wet baby eyes* a TRUELY magnificent, Bond Villian cat of a tooka. That is NOT being taken care off. Badly in need of just? SO much grooming. Force sensitive too.
And?? What the FRESH HELL did they do to this poor, magnificent creature? He may not be his Padawan (adopting every wretched beast that croaks in their direction) but he's not without a HEART. Just LOOK at the poor thing! *is Fancy Show Breed... but horribly bedraggled, underweight, and in need of care*
Should he TECHNICALLY be handing this poor dear over to some specialist in the Agricorps? Yes. WILL he? *pretends his comm is losing it's signal* oh dear, what was that? I.. can't... quite... hear.... *click*
TookaOc is THE most pampered and babied animal in the whole Jedi order. That is his CHILD. His PRINCESS. A delicate little miss! *is geneticly modified Super Tooka. The Super Soilder of Tookas* (yeah~☆ i'ma a wittle pwincess >:3c ) he will hear NOTHING to the contrary!
It's actually brought him and his Padawan closer together. Nursing the poor dear back to health. Doting on her. Meditating with her. Sharing cute pictures. Qui-gon ALSO doesn't understand why some people think Dooku's "monsterous hell beast" is a "blight" upon the Republic. Honestly? He can understand no liking tookas(sorta. Perhaps they are allergic?) But to go that far??
And like? They KNOW she's "intelligent". They KNOW she's force sensitive. Modified in some way. Clearly aging slower then a normal tooka. But do they ask follow up questions? Nnnnnnope! Princess is a Good Baby and Never Done Anything Wrong In Her Life™.
Dooku has become one of those highly dignified "I don't want a cat. They're dreadful creatures." *proceeds to emotionally bond so hard you can see it from space* Cat Dads. He's only "watching" princess, really. Just until she's nursed back to health, you understand.
But, oh... NOW he just needs to make sure she has a Safe and Loving environment. Good Enrichment. Excuse number three! He's not stalling... pay no attention to all the new tooka towers in his apartment! Those were always there!
And like? No one expects the cat. >:3 NO ONE.
