it is chapter two and A’tro is feeling cute

thanks to contemporary internet culture this dialogue is now ruined and I’ve been giggling about Karr serving the tea for the past several minutes

I was going to make a detailed timeline for one of my fic continuities but then I got so hung up on whether it would be better to make it a new sheet in my “universal timeline” excel file or a new file entirely that I just...didn’t do it

Ahhh, classic chapter one A’tro in her classic chapter one outfit. It’s well-worn and not super stylish, but it’s functional and it does look good on her (tbh most things do).

I’ve been working on redecorating A’tro’s stronghold. The previous decor was pretty meager; in fact, my Coruscant stronghold was way nicer, and there’s no way A’tro would let her apartment be outdone by some Jedi’s. No, she and my other Imps deserve only the most luxurious surroundings in which to traverse the ten feet containing the cargo bay, mailbox, and GTN.

It’s still a work in progress, but from the top here we have: antechamber (not shown: mailbox, etc.); formal sitting room (not shown: photobombing naked Corso who appeared the first time I tried to screenshot); tech room; spa room (heck yeah that’s a hot tub); and two different angles of a Sith Room of Sithy Business (the floor tile is meant to be a sparring ring).

I don’t remember the exact date when I started playing SWTOR, but I know it was around the latter third of January 2012. That was...nine years ago. Oof.

To celebrate this anniversary, I’ve embarked upon a new in-game venture! I’ve made an A’tro, and I am going to level like it’s 2012 and play every single piece of content that vanilla SWTOR has to offer. No speedy leveling with the class story; I will do every planetary line, every side mission, and every flashpoint (in story mode, even though we didn’t have that back in the day, just for funsies).

Since leveling is so fast these days, I haven’t done much non-class story content in a while, so this ought to prove nostalgic. I’m also curious to see what level I’ll be by the time I actually finish all of this.

(also I got a black/black dye from one of this new A’tro’s cantina crates and if that’s not a good omen I don’t know what is)

Most of Tessa’s facial scarring is from injuries sustained during the destruction of Darth Marr’s ship in KotFE chapter 1. I imagine partially-healed wounds and carbonite freezing don’t mix well.

Some class story-era Io. She doesn’t really use that lightsaber much.

Tessa versus...uh...you’d think after the number of times I’ve played the Sith Warrior storyline, I’d remember the name of every single NPC. I do not. Tessa versus This Guy.

I’ve always been fond of this cutscene for screenshot purposes.

I have four Sith Pureblood ladies and it doesn’t feel like enough, somehow
