You've been seen by a coolly efficient (what you hope is a) medical professional - after all they did give you a shot of something. Then you were handed a slew of things you're still trying to process - communication devices, a ring (which is also a key?), a piece of transparent film that's flashing information. And clothing, that was a thoughtful gesture. And then there was the explanation - You've been taken (isn't that a nice way of saying 'kidnapped') by that floating orb of light, you can't leave, but while you're here you get room and board. Is that really a fair trade? Oh, and to top everything off, you have a set of gem like stones set into your chest, that you can't remove. Before you know it, you've moved with the crowd towards the shuttle and now that you are sitting down, it's now suddenly sinking in. You are so very far from home. [NOTE: Please note that the actual arrival process is different from the above scenario - please see the New Arrivals Page for a detailed explanation of the actual arrival process.] ~ ☼ ~ [Cafeteria] You’re hungry, and though the smells coming from the cafeteria are strange, they are alluring. The grumble in your belly tells you it’s worth chancing. ~ ☼ ~ [Multipurpose Common Area] You’re bored but haven’t quite worked up the courage to venture out into the greater parts of the station. The common area of the residential community seems like it might provide some distractions. And the view out the large windows lining one wall is simply stunning. ~ ☼ ~ [The Center Station Central Gardens] In an environment where spatial expansion is finite, it seems extravagant to house a garden this big. What looks like giant trees at first glance, turn outo be the wire structures that rise up six stores before fanning out actually house various breeds of creeping vines. There are two levels of raised walkways that wind around the vine structures. The ground level also wraps lazily through various plots of vegetation. There is enough variety of plants here to keep anyone interested for hours. ~ ☼ ~ [Cemetery Ring] If you’re in more for a somber atmosphere, the Cemetery Ring is open to everyone. The first sign posted outside the door reads "We are the lights that shines brightest against the night." The sign below it simply says "All are welcome." This wide corridor, that traverses the whole very top of the Inner Rings, is dimly lit, but pinpoints of light twinkle all over the wall. The wall juts out in an effort to create more surface area for memorials to those Owmi who have passed on to the next life since the Owmi started their nomadic journey. The peacefulness of the room is inviting. ~ ☼ ~

In which the Force puts Cassian in a Conspicuously Light Patch. X3

Leia was on her way to get some lunch when she noticed the new arrival. He had to be new, given that he was a human she hadn't seen here before. But he looked (and felt) grumpy enough that she normally would have just passed on by without bothering him.

But there was something else she felt about him, and that gave her pause. Other than his being human, there was nothing in particular that made him stand out, and yet... something- the Force, she thought- seemed to be drawing her gaze to him. As if there was something that it wanted her to notice or acknowledge about him.

Cassian felt the prickle of attentive eyes on him. He stopped and pretended to check something on his watch, while secretly looking around for the person observing him.

Oh.

He turned to the little girl, a human standing out among the Owmi just like he did. "Hello," he said, careful to make his voice a little friendlier than normal with strangers. "I don't think we have met before."

Leia blinked in surprise as the man greeted her. She hadn't realized she'd been staring. "Hi," she replied. "We probably haven't, since you must've just gotten here a little while ago. My name's Leia Organa."

She paused slightly before adding, "And I'm sorry if I was staring; I didn't mean to. It's just..." She paused again though this time in uncertainly of who to put what she was feeling into words. "You know that feeling that there's something important you're forgetting, and it's right there on the tip of your mind, but you can't remember what it is?"
