[“Don’t worry so much.”...
One minute Siri was on Azure, dying, DEAD, and the next she... wasn't. She should be. But she wasn't. She was lying on the ground in a forest, of all places. Not a large one, there was a building close by - she could sense its inhabitants, although she didn't pay them any mind at the moment, too lost in the shock of arrival. Of dying. Drawing a sharp, desperate breath (not panicking; Jedi didn't panic. Not even dead ones), she faltered in rising to her feet. The sharp throb of pain in her shoulders; different from what she had been feeling not a moment ago, had her twisting around in an attempt to pinpoint the cause.
All she could do was STARE.]
KRIFF.
[Wings. She had wings. And they were blue. Force, now she knew she couldn't be dead. Unless becoming one with the Force was far stranger from what she'd been told... Not that that HELPED matters any. Or made her any less uneasy.
Or changed the simple fact that she SHOULD be dead. She exhaled unsteadily and forced herself to her feet, her wings flaring and ruffling in mirror to her emotions. Confusion, and the panic she was denying. First things first. She needed to find out where she was, what had happened. Then she could deal with... everything else. ]

Date: 2014-08-24 04:12 pm (UTC)Well, Siri Tachi, there should be a journal either somewhere around here with your name on it, or we'll find it in the village. This is... Luceti. Our new home.
[It's obvious that Leia finds the concept of this being home as not exactly pleasant.]
I'm sure you have questions. If you want to ask them, I'll answer as many as I can.
[Action]
Date: 2014-08-27 07:25 am (UTC)Luceti. So it has a name.
[She has a lot of questions; but they're all tangled up together in her head with the jagged memory of her death. She decides to start with what she hopes is a simple question.]
What is Luceti like? If I'm going to be stuck here, I'd like to know more about the place.
Re: [Action]
Date: 2014-08-28 09:51 pm (UTC)Luceti is...hard to explain. There are many people from our galaxy here. Perhaps you might know some, but we are not the only ones here. People from other worlds and realities are stuck here with us.
[She gestures towards her wings that match the greenery around them.]
Take care not to injure your wings. They are directly tied to your life force and you can become very ill or die, depending on the damage done. Death here isn't permanent, most of the time, but there are consequences all the same.
[There's more but she'll let that sink in first.]
[Action]
Date: 2014-08-31 05:58 am (UTC)Is there any reason for it?
[She exhales unsteadily, giving her own dual-toned wings a frown.]
I’m not in any hurry to go through that again.
[Kriff, she isn’t in any hurry.]

Date: 2014-09-01 11:57 pm (UTC)[She feels a brief flash of sympathy for this woman. Coming to Luceti was hard enough for tge living. She can't imagine winding up hete when you thought you were dead.]
I'll escort you into town. And then, if you'd like, I can take you to house 46, where those from our galaxy all live.

Date: 2014-09-05 11:55 pm (UTC)How many of us are there?
Re: [Action]
Date: 2014-09-06 04:00 am (UTC)You make the eighth. Unless ypu count Luke's R2 unit, in which count you'd be the nineth.
[Action]
Date: 2014-09-10 07:54 am (UTC)How long have you been here?
[It’s not as though she has anywhere to go back to. But she’s curious how long everyone else has been there.]
[Action]
Date: 2014-09-12 10:09 pm (UTC)This is my second time being here, but I've stayed for over a month this time. It can be common for some to come and go often while others stay for years.
I've spoken to a young man who has been here for five years. He was fifteen when he first arrived.

Date: 2014-09-19 09:34 am (UTC)Your first time here wasn’t that long?
[Action]
Date: 2014-09-20 04:06 pm (UTC)No, it was for a few weeks, nearly a year ago. Just enough for me to find out what this place is but not long enough to really learn anything. This time I've been here for nearly twice the length of my original visit.
