Hearts in the Stars

(OOC: NONCANON!! For the sake of pure fun and comedic purposes.)

The set of this reality show's Love series, Hearts in the Stars is the perfect way to find who is the best match for who in the Galaxy. Standing before a group of random individuals is the DataScreen that will show the first pairings and and task of the night. The voice of the narrator would then begin to speak,

"Welcome everyone to Hearts in the Stars. The show where six contestants will be paired together in different matches for different tasks and must work together and complete each task given to them. The tasks will be set in the form of dates. They will get time to spend together and whenever the buzzer goes off they must then complete the task."

The camera would pan onto the contestants sitting on the round couch around the campfire to show who all was here for the fun. As they prepare the Narrator would continue to speak,

"Let's meet our contestants.."

The screen would pan to the introduction videos taken from each contender before they arrived to the couch.

[Emryc Thorne]

Emryc had no recollection how he got here. One moment he was snorting some very potent spice he obtained in exchange for selling some loud mouthed togruta, the next he was on some type of show. However, he wasn’t the type to spend too much time speculating. The half Sephi was seated on a sofa, being interviewed for his brief intro before he joined the other ‘contestants’. He was leaned against the armrest, one of his legs extended across the couch. He ran his fingers through his long hair, an exceptionally bored expression on his face. His other arm dangled lazily off the edge, a cigarra in between two of his fingers.

“So Emryc Thorne! What brings you to our show today?”

The half Sephi took a long drag of his cigarra. If he heard the question, there was little to no indication of it. He vaguely wondered how to peddle this spice because it would make a killing in the Core. Emryc tilted his head to look at the camera, piercing silver gaze looking right at the audience. There was no yellow in the eyes.

“Fascinating! Can you tell us a little about yourself?’

Emryc shrugged vaguely, “I like Huttball,” He said as he took a drag, exhaling a cloud of smoke, “And I have a big [BEEP],” He looked back at the camera vacantly, “I can’t [BEEP] say [BEEP] on this?” He kept staring at the camera, a faint grin appearing on his face.

“What are you looking for in a partner?”

The half Sephi finally sat up, exhaling more smoke, “Someone that doesn’t talk much and likes to suck [BEEP],” He said rather matter of factly.

“Wonderful! Anything you’d like to share with the audience?”

This was when Emryc was energized, springing up to his feet. He lifted his shirt over his head, revealing a perfectly defined chest and abs with the words ‘SLOB ON MY KNOB TRADY!” written in big, bold paint.

“...Wonderful, Mr. Thorne…Next contestant!”

Emryc flashed the camera a charming smile and a wink before it cut away from him. A politician smile.

[Bir Vuul]

Bir Vuul, not often one to ask questions and to simply go with the flow of events, paid very little attention to what had transpired around him. The shuttle ride to an undisclosed location with luxurious amenities beyond any experience he had ever had prior, wines and spirits of a vast variety, crew members of a holo broadcast bustling in each direction as they prepared cameras and lights for what would be the first recording that featured him. All of these things he remained entirely oblivious too as his focus was zeroed in on the condensation that lined the shuttle’s view ports, leathery fingers drawing incomprehensible shapes and patterns on the fogged glass. Even as the interviewer finally sat across from him, Bir did not flinch.

”So, Bir Vuul! Are you excited to meet your fellow contestants?” the woman asked, a microphone near her lips before thrusting the object in the Kel Dor’s direction. While her voice exuded the confidence and pride of a professional broadcaster, her eyes betrayed the bewilderment she harbored for the half naked mad man doodling on the glass though she quickly shook these feelings away as Bir snapped his attention to her.

”Have you ever not been excited to meet new friends?! To experience different people, different souls, in rapid fire as they too seek companionship and bonds that exceed anything they’ve experienced prior?! Excited?? I am beyond excited! My elation knows no bounds! Yes! Yes! An opportunity of a lifetime, indeed!” Bir declared exuberantly, a beaming grin plastered across his face as he locked eyes with the woman across for him briefly before returning to the foggy glass as though nothing had transpired.

”I…” she began briefly, pausing as she grappled with the vigor that exuded from the man across from her. ”I can see that! You may be hard pressed to find someone who mirrors your energy!” she continued, shifting uncomfortably to place some distance between her and her interviewee.

”Life! It is much too short to waste with the confinements of one’s own mind! Only once we release the bonds we place upon ourselves do we truly discover who we are!” Bir continued with a high pitched chuckle as his fingers traced through the symbols he had previously drawn out.

”Well I’m sure that is something our other contestants will be delighted to learn about you! You certainly seem to take life by the horns and aren’t afraid to show your true colors!”

”We have arrived at our destination! From all of us at Hearts in the Stars, we sincerely wish you the best fortune!”

As the Captain’s voice rang out across the ship’s intercom, Bir wasted no time in leaping to his feet and scurrying towards the passenger ramp, leaving the interviewer alone with her camera crew.

”Well, good luck!” she called out after him though he paid her no mind.

”We’re clear,”

”Where in the fuck do we find these contestants?” she sighed heavily, swearing that she’d go back to job searching as soon as she got home.

[Gett'se Vizsla]

Gett'se sat on a sofa that was softer than anything he had ever experienced. He blinked beneath his helmet as he looked into the dazzling bright light shining on him from off set. He vaguely remembered a job. A shootout on Terminus. Guavian death gangers? The details faded and seemed less and less important. Was he dead?

"Gett'se Vizsla! What brings a man-do like you to Hearts in the Stars?" An irritatingly exuberant voice cut through Gett'se's disappointment at the afterlife. Shifting his focus down and squinting, Gett'se could make out a dark man shaped blob through the dazzling light.

"Hearts in the..." Gett'se started to ask before vaguely remembering. What? A game show? Paperwork? Something about a prize? His mind puzzled for a moment before he remembered the question. "Uhh... Next question." He needed time to think. But he wasn't about to have that luxury.

"Not a very chatty fellow are you Gett'se?" The interviewer asked, laughing. "Tell us about your ideal partner, what is she like?"

"Partner? Like... in battle?" Gett'se asked before continuing as he tried to think of an ideal comrade. "They'd have to be a good shot, especially on the move. Strong hand to hand fighter, sharp mind." He ticked off the standards he held for fellow war fighters. "Someone I can depend on in a fight, and give as good as they get if we fight." He finished. He would respect anyone who could kick his ass in a brawl.

"That's quite the list! What I really wanna know thought is what your ideal romantic partner is like."

"Oh." Gett'se said as he blinked behind his helmet and cocked his head in confusion. Romantic partner? What in Arasuum was this man talking about. He thought about it for a moment. "The same." He answered after a moment. If he were to take a wife he would have the same expectations of them as he would of any other comrade.

"Don't you think you're standards might be a bit too high?" The voice asked.

"No." Gett'se answered simply.

"Ooookaaay... Well looks like thats all the questions we have for you Mr. Vizsla... Next contestant!"

Gett'se stood from the squishy couch and walked towards to the exit. He shook his head. What in Kad's name had he gotten himself wrapped up in this time?

[Darth Tempest]

Truthfully, Vahliri hadn’t the slightest idea of how she’d gotten onto the set of Hearts in the Stars. Even if she had watched the show multiple times in the past as a bit of a guilty pleasure, she had zero recollection of auditioning to be a part of the upcoming season. In fact, the last thing the half-Sephi remembered was sitting within the library's back on Dromund Kaas, nose-deep in the her studies.

The next thing she knew, she was backstage and being ushered in front of some cameras - giving her little time to argue with the producers about details like ‘how she got here’. Not much use in arguing the point now, though. The half-Sephi was dressed in an off-shoulder blouse and pair of jeans, her dark hair loosely flowing down her shoulders and a few bracelets dangling on each wrist. She sat, legs crossed - honeyed eyes fixated onto the man conducting her interview.

“So, Vahliri Kahtal! What brings a lovely lady like yourself to Hearts in the Stars?” The over-enthusiastic interviewer beamed into his microphone, his voice cutting in loudly. There was the faintest twitch of the half-Sephi’s ears, blinking a few times before she spoke.

What had brought her here in the first place? Who knows. “I guess you could say the stars aligned for me to be here.” She said very simply, a not-so-warm smile brushing her lips as she stared directly at the interviewer who asked the question.

“How intriguing!” He said response, “Tell us, what are you looking for in an ideal partner, Vahliri? Any tips for the boys or girls out there?” He said with a wink.

Vahliri paused for a moment, thinking on the question. What did she look for in a romantic partner? After a few moments, the half-Sephi gave a small shrug. “I like to keep my options open - but I’m sure I’ll know them when I meet them.”

“And is there anything else you’d like to share about yourself with the audience?”

Vahliri shook her head, rising up off the couch. “Guess you’ll all just have to watch to find out.” She offered a charming smile.

“Well, I am certainly looking forward to it! Next contestant!” The cameras clicked off, and Vahliri finally pushed off from where she was standing - proceeding to make her way out of the interview room and out to join her fellow contestants. Whoever they all were.

[Sibyl Lassiter]

Sibyl had no idea of how she came to the set of Hearts in the Stars. The last thing that the Brentalaan remembers was that she was relaxing in her home and suddenly she was backstage being prepared for an interview. She wondered if it was some type of punishment planned by her parents. She had thought that they would even be happy knowing that she clawed the face of that Isard girl, rather than sending her to some type of bizarre reality show.

Seated on the couch, Sibyl watched the man that was going to interview her. She wondered if it was going to be a show with the theme of circus, because the guy looked like a clown with these clothes. “Hello, Sibyl Lassiter! Welcome to Hearts in the Stars!” the said it so excitedly, that the Brentaalan ended up needing to control herself to not punch him in the face. She hates this type of person. “Everyone out there wants to know, why did you decide to join our show?”

While she was furious and frustrated for being there, Sibyl knew that showing in a show on the holonet would be terrible for her image. After all, she still wanted to have a good public career. “Oh, I joined because I thought that it would be a wonderful experience!” she said, with a fake smile on her lips. “Meeting other young people is always good.” just thinking that she would have to deal with brainless teenagers made her irritated. If one of them did something really stupid, the Brentaalan didn't know if she'd be able to keep up the good-natured facade.

“This is good! Hopefully you will also form a couple with one of them! Everyone at home wants to know if you already have an ideal partner in sight?” no one would be happy if she said what type of person she wanted. For Sibyl, it should be someone very rich and that could die easily after some months of marriage. This way she would be more rich and a widow.

“I never thought about it. I think that I’ll know during the show.” the men nodded and ended the interview. Raising from where she was seated, Sibyl walked to join the other participants. The Brentaalan sighed, she wasn’t prepared to deal with the probably bunch of misfits that were going to be her possible pairs. Perhaps she should have married Claudias like her mother always wanted, at least she would not be in this place.

[Clove Vanhoop]

---

​

Clove had no idea how she got there; she could've sworn she was in her room on Yavin IV, reading a book about the Hutts' stomach. But she found herself in the make-up room behind the set of a show called Hearts in the Stars with after a single blink. Did she get drugged? Or teleported? Or maybe she died and this is her afterlife? Surely it wouldn't be such a bad afterlife if there was a kind woman leaning over her face, dabbing a little blush on her already flushed cheeks. Was that what it meant to become one with the Force? The Force would spoil you rotten?

No. No, it did not.

Because her comfort didn't last long; after applying her make-up and styling her hair, the once kind woman dragged her to a couch in front of a camera. While she awkwardly shifted on the couch, her already violet-colored cheeks burned even more, and— Sugar, that couch was soft! She didn't get to enjoy the softness of the couch for long because a man dressed for the occasion approached her. "Well, well, Clove Vanhoop! We're already blushing, aren't we? So, tell me, what drew someone like you to Hearts in the Stars?"

Force knows how she got here. What was she supposed to say? And why was that camera so close to her? "Uhm, well! I'm always looking to meet new people, and fate brought me here, to all of you." The girl's lips curled up into a shy smile while her fingers fiddled with the rim of her pink dress. Her long ashy curls bounced with every movement, the volume almost resembling a Cahar's prideful mane.

"How endearing! I'm sure you'll meet a lot of people here. And tell me what you're looking for in a partner. What, to put it another way, would spark your fire?" A partner?! As in... romance? It's a dating show?! No way! Clove's eyes widened for a moment before she shifted her weight onto the couch to face the man asking the questions. "Love, that's what I'm looking for in a partner! Someone with a big loving heart! Someone who wants to hold my hand, or who takes me to the most bizarre niche restaurants, or perhaps a dancer—"

"What a daydreamer!" The man cut off what would have been an endless ramble as subtly as possible. "We love to see it! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we're all excited to see if you can find your dream partner."

With that, the camera went dark, and Clove was ushered off the couch. "Do you need help with those heels of yours?" After seeing her stumble a little, the same man from the interview quickly approached her, extending his arm towards her. "Oh no, I'm fine, thank you! The carpet is a little unsteady." She gave him a charming warm smile, stepped off the carpet, and made her way over to the other participants.

[The Storyteller]

After the final contestant's introduction video played for the Galaxy to see, the camera would then pan straight to the couch consisting of every contestant here to find love. Each different in their own ways and here for the same reasons. Some joyful, others vulgar.

"Here you'll meet the contestant live and they will be finding out real soon what the first game and first pairing is." The datascreen in front of them would power on and a wheel with a bunch of different games on it appeared. "And three, two, one.. let 'er spin!"

The wheel began to spin in a clockwise direction so fast you can't make out any of the words, just colors. As the wheel spun it would slowly decelerate and eventually begin stopping. Game names slowly turning past the arrow, and as it finally came to a stop the narrator would announce very excitedly,

"Aaaand the game chosen is a three legged race!!! Though there is a catch! The contestants will be tied together at the ankle, thigh, waist, and one will be blindfolded!" As a recorded studio audience would begin their cheers and clapping, the contestants would have a moment to react. "Now we begin the random pairing!"

Names of the contestants would pop up onto the screen in a random order and begin to blink on and off in different spots,

"And first we have Gett'se!" As his name appeared and stayed another would blink right under his, "And his first partner is... Sibyl!!" Two more names appeared right next to each other followed by another two.. "Emryc! And Vahliri!! That means the final couple is Clove and Bir!" More cheers and more clapping came from the prerecorded recording.

"Alright contestants! Time to get ready! You get 10 minutes to talk!"

A stage crew came out and dropped off sturdy thin rope and blindfolds for the group.
