Fandom's Come Knocking
Okay, did you guys know people in this world make stuff of some of us? Apparently the yetis make toys of us on their own if none exist but also imitate ones that do exist if kids want them.
[Branch is hopping along a table of merch that is meant to mimic exactly the merch of him in stores. A lot of it is actually bigger than he is. He shows off the dolls with his tiny little wrist comm. They look even weirder at that perspective.]
Now that I know they're not ritual effigies, the toy thing is kind of funny. Weird, but funny.
Look at this. Look.
[He holds up his comm so the camera picks up some absolutely hideous toys.]
Like, who is this guy? I wouldn't even know who this was if it wasn't labeled with my name. Like, some random guy from the village maybe. I've never dressed like that in my life.
[He points the camera at another.]
This one is the closest to actually looking like me and it still has the random skull symbol hair thing. What's up with that? [A pause as his face comes back in view. It screws up in thought.] ...Okay, actually I don't hate it.
[Because even though he's a much happier person than he once was, he's still slightly an edgelord. Just slightly.]
[He looks upward and similar skull designs suddenly appear in his own hair, thanks to his ability to change its color. Maybe that explains why some of the dolls have black hair and some have blue (if manufacturing inconsistencies aren't to blame).]
[(It's actually not but he's not about to explain the subtleties of troll coloration when it comes to emotional state.)]
Seriously, you should check it out, and see if the yetis made stuff based on you. It's hilarious.
[ooc: If none exists IRL, people can make up imaginary merch, though all merch at the Pole would be for kids or teens. The stuff made purely by the yetis would largely be decent-looking and accurate, uglier stuff would be based on designs existing in the game world because well, that's what the kid pointed at in the store. Googling themselves would produce other merch for other demographics, as well as let people find out about any internet fandom. People can feel free to thread hop a lot because the point of this is probably going to be a lot of pointing and laughing.]

[Rex using the Force had just... surprised him. He's not scared of it!]
no subject
I'm not a Jedi.
[Probably?]
no subject
it's not like you're much better
[Nailed it.]
no subject
I won't hurt you.
[Rex is totally good at this too.]
no subject
give me back the blaster and prove it
no subject
[Except that Rex would be a fool once Boba goes on to threaten someone with it.]
You already know that.
no subject
what do you even want from me?
no subject
In the end, he has to go with the truth.]
You are my brother.
no subject
[He's spent his life hearing how he's not like them. He's different. He's special. He's Jango Fett's real son.
No clone has ever been a brother to him. Any time they acted like it was because they thought he was one of them. Whenever they learned who he is, it never ended well.]
i don't have any brothers
[If he was smart and calm, he could use this-- use Rex like he was originally planning to. But he can't.
He can't.]
no subject
I know how Jango Fett felt. I know he raised you and not us.
[And Rex has all sorts of feelings about that that he's never had the time or desire to unpack.]
But we are still connected. You can either accept that or not. It doesn't change how I see things.
no subject
you don't know anything
[How dare he bring up Jango. How dare he. It's bad enough that he wears his face and talks with his voice.
Boba's done.]
i can't tell if you're desperate or just stupid
[When all else fails: proton bomb the conversation from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.]
no subject
For a moment, he's torn between pressing the matter and letting Boba get his wish. Rex may have no clue how to talk to Boba but each response has him repressing a sigh at how instead of closing the distance between them, he only widens it.]
I will not lose another brother if I can help it.
Stay out of trouble and keep away from my blasters and you won't have to deal with me unless you want to.
[Does he know there no way Boba can stay out of trouble? Oh yes.]
