@AHeartlessNobody I'm looking forward to it.
@Renny sounds good :) can't wait to read it lol.
I know I keep sharing lots of stuff, but I found this song and it made me think of Ben and Odette x3 Like of Ben trying to convince Odette to join him so they can be together but her telling him she cant, and that maybe they were just never meant to be together because everything is against them.
Also, I had an idea rolling around my head and wanted to see what you thought. Like, maybe after we finish this rp or in a separate thread, we do an AU of our story in which Odette turned to the dark side. Like there being a huge shock because everyone thought Ben would fall, when really they should have been worried about Odette being the one to turn. No one noticing her silent struggles and thinking that, because she is a Kenobi, that she would never turn. Or, if you didn't want to do an AU, maybe having her turn in the main rp. Maybe something serious enough that Ben would turn back to the light, yet Odette would turn her back on everything and everyone? Or maybe her turning the dark side is what causes Ben to reevaluate what the dark side really does to people when he sees how it has completely destroyed who Odette once was.
IDK, just an idea xD We don't have to go with it but I figured it'd be neat.
@Renny
I finished up my talk between Odette, Leia, Han, and Chewy XD And then I time skipped with Rey and Odette. I hope its okay that in the vision of their younger selves I used young Ben XD If it's not than I can edit it lol. Just figured it would run more smoothly that way. I figure Ben could think this to be a dream or her Force Ghost, but they would be able to touch and talk in the vision. I'm also thinking that Odette could mention the note in the bag, perhaps that after her death Ben didn't look in it as everything in it had been hers and he couldn't bring himself to do so until she mentions it in the vision.
Anyway, let me know if I need to change anything XD
Sounds good. Like maybe he sees her in passing through the crowds of people but thinks he's going crazy. Until she's up on stage and he realizes that it was her and that she's still alive. X3 and Poe stepping between them when he sees them thinking he's coming to her rescue from some drunk or Casanova. I love it all lol.
As far as where to go from here, I do want to have one or two shared visions with Odette and Ben, him simply thinking he's either dreaming or seeing her Force ghost. Other than that, I was thinking of going ahead and going past TLJ (just saying that Luke didn't die). Perhaps with them all going back to Luke for Rey to finish her training? Finn and Poe coming along for support (and maybe curious about the Force themselves and this Jedi Master. Maybe Leia with them? Or maybe we could say they've all already been there a few months post TLJ and Rey has been slowly advancing in her Jedi training. From there, we could have something happen to Luke. Perhaps they go on some mission where they run into Ben and he finally strikes Luke down? Or something else?
It's completely up for debate on where we go from here and what we do xD Just figured it might be better to bypass TLJ since we're only changing that Luke is Alive lol. But just let me know what you think and we can discuss.
I think at first I'll have Odette soully refer to him as Ben, stating she refuses to call him otherwise because she believes he's still in there somewhere, she just has to pull him back from the dark. So yes, Rey referring to him as Kylo Ren would definitely edge on her nerves haha.
@Renny
My friend and I finished the original trilogy lol. She left and we shall watch the prequels another day. So I am ready to write now X3
Also, I was listening to music and came up with a small edit to our plans for Poe, kind of mixing my idea with yours in a way. So, what if, when Odette and Poe have to pose as a couple and such, end up forced into a situation where they have to kiss to not draw suspicion. Steming from that and a few other things, it comes to be that Poe ends up with feelings for Odette. Feelings of course she wouldn't feel the same about, still in love with Ben, but just him having feelings for Odette is enough to send Kylo into a rage to hurt Poe when he gets him alone. Maybe even Poe, being his normal witty self, egging him on about how Ben gave her up when he turned to the dark side and how she could never want him now that he's a part of the dark side, etc.
Of course when Poe meets Tatooine Girl later on, his feelings for Odette subside, but I figured it'd be a good little plot handle to annoy Ben for a bit XD
Also, don't ask me why, but for some reason I really want Odette to sing at some point. So I was thinking, that way it's not too forced of a situation with a song she sings, maybe she and Poe take up the identities of two real people that have never been seen by the planet they are undercover at. Famous people that can give Odette and Poe access to more information if they pretend to be them (perhaps they knock out the people and still some sort of identification badge). Unknown to them though, the woman that Odette takes the identity of is a performer, a famous singer meant to sing on stage at the party they are infiltrating. So Odette is kind of in a forced situation, telling the others quickly to get searching for whatever it is they need while she's a distraction on stage. And though she's nervous, never done such a thing as sing in front of so many people (maybe in front of Ben if we want, but never in front of anyone else).
Anyway, she sings and I figure this could be a chain reaction to a few things. One being her singing can be a kind of jump start for Poe's feelings toward her. Another can be to put a bit of sorrow in Ben, him seeing her sing either in person or through a hologram. And, I was thinking that, this is where Rey and the others start to begin to think there's more to Odette and Ben's history than she's letting on (this being before Odette tells them about her relationship with Ben in the past).
For the song, I was deciding between two.
This first one is a solo version of the one I showed you before. I figure that if it were this one it could have a sorrowful effect for Ben, especially if its an old song either he or Odette sung when they were kids. Maybe we could even have a Force Vision before this part that she and Ben have together, watching their child selves interacting and singing this together.
The second one is this song. This one I liked because it showed how much Odette still cares for Ben, saying how none of the finest things in the universe could be enough for her if she didn't have Ben at her side. I also figure that it would be more effective for the whole Poe thing with it being such a strong and emotion filled song.
They both have their obvious good points XD IDK, what do you think of all these ideas? Did we want to keep some of the ideas and scrap others? It's all pretty much up for discussion so let me know what you think.
