[Leia thought long an hard before picking up her mirror. Both about whether or not to do it at all, and once she'd determined to do that, what she was going to say. And before she picked it up, she made an effort to make herself look as 'official' as possible, like her mommy did before giving a speech.

Thus, when she appears on the network, her dress is clean and mostly wrinkle-free, her usual pigtails have been exchanged for a more 'serious' single braid down her back, and she's sitting as straight and tall as she can. She takes a deep breath and begins.]

Some of you probably know me, but others of you might not. My name is Leia Organa, and I'm one of the Apprentices that was brought here to help fight the Corrosion. I'm also a Princess, back home and here.

A lot of stuff's happened the past day or so and a lot of it is still happening. I won't tell people not to be scared, 'cause it's a scary situation. Things are dangerous, and probably will be for awhile. But I am asking that everybody do what they can to help. Not just us Apprentices; everybody. Because when things are scary and dangerous, that's when people need to stick together and help each other the most.

Everybody who lives here has been doing a great job of that already. Even when bad things are happening everywhere else, you've worked hard to make sure Main Street stays a nice place to live. No one and nothing should be allowed to take that from you.

So I'm going to do whatever I can to help. I may not be the biggest or the strongest, but I've been practicing my magic, and I'm ready to use it to help anyone who's been hurt by what's going on.

[She gives a nod, indicating the end of her speech.]

Thank you.

[a flying black bunny, having somehow wormed his way into wherever she is, flops in her arms and snuffs around hopefully for food]

[princess_weia]

[Alas, Leia has no food on her. But after Leia recovers from being briefly startled, the bunny does get a gentle hug and a scratch between the ears.

It takes her a moment to recall what happened to Aziraphale after he made one of the witches angry, and she sets the bunny down on her bed to get a better look at it.]

...Mr. Aziraphale? Is that you?

[blessedarethebookmakers]

[he doesn't understand the mouth noises. But he yawns and settles and twitches his nose, snuffing around for good eating]

[princess_weia]

[Leia stares at him for a moment longer. Maybe she could use some magic to help him understand...? No, she might need that for more important things later.]

Well, whether you are or not, I'll try and keep you safe. Wait right here...

[She hurries to the kitchen to find something a rabbit might like and returns a few moments later toting a head of lettuce. She tears off a leaf and offers it to him.]

Are you hungry?

[blessedarethebookmakers]

[he sinks his fangs into it and sucks it dry-- the lettuce whitens and wilts and he licks his lips considering. It's certainly not the best lettuce he'd ever had. But it would do he supposed. Since he was more or less satiated.

He then begins to nose around the bed as if searching for something. Something important]

[princess_weia]

[She'll take that as a 'yes'. She throws the withered leaf into the trash can, then tears off a few more, setting them on the bed where the bunny can get to them easily, before setting the rest of the lettuce on the nightstand.

She notices the way he's nosing around.]

Are you looking for something? Or maybe somebody?
