She was way, way, way out of her element. Valeska was far from her homeworld again, finding herself in the Coruscant underground scene. She needed to be away from where she could be recognized easily. In the lower districts here, there was no way anyone would easily know the Naboo queen’s sister.
Valeska was supposed to be on a diplomatic mission to make public appearances at a distance in some rich industrial worlds. While Valeska genuinely cared about doing it for backwater planets, she had little desire to do it just to rub elbows with other rich diplomats. She had sent a proxy over in her stead dolled up like she would be.
The young princess attempted to dress the part, wearing a tank top and form fitting pants. She had bracelets on her wrists and her hair up in a ponytail. Valeska avoided the offers of spice so far, slinking in through the crowds and waiting in line just like everyone else. Trivial things like waiting in a long line exhilarated her and made her feel normal.
Before long, she entered the venue where everything was pitch black in between the strobe lights timed to the beat of the music. It was completely packed and it was clear that no rules applied. Valeska had to muster up a lot of courage to be here. However, she was beyond thrilled for being able to finally do something she desired for a long time.
She was at a heavy isotope rave.
