Pay It Forward: Making a Big Difference in Little Ways | Friday, Period 3

"We're going to try something a little different today." Which Hera had decidedly mixed feelings about.

"And it isn't mandatory by any means," Kanan said, sporting his very own set of mixed feelings on the matter. "But we found a few holographic devices in a storage closet..."

Hera held one up, and with a dubious look on her face, pressed a button. The hologram came into play, and now she looked like herself...only human. "These will make it easier for us to interact with people over the causeway that aren't used to other species. Again, they are definitely not mandatory, though. Anyone who doesn't want to use them, we'll figure it out."

She'd admit she was curious about interacting with mainland people, but it still felt a little wrong. She turned the device off again. "The point of today isn't to draw attention, though; it's to help out at what is locally called a 'soup kitchen'."

Kanan had absolutely been staring at Hera with the holo on, yes. Mostly in bemusement.

"That is so weird," he supplied. "But... yeah. Today we're heading to a soup kitchen in town to serve food to people who otherwise have none. Our job will more or less be to stand there with a ladle and give people food as they walk by. It's not difficult work, at least not in a physical sense, but if you need to take a break for any reason, feel free to tap myself or Hera in and we'll cover for you."

Hera nodded. "Other than that, please be polite and follow the instructions of the people that run the place. If you have any problems with that, again, come and get one of us." She looked around. "Our portal should be here any second. Any questions before we leave?"

Listen to the lecture!

Decide if you want a holo device, if you need it. Or heck, even if you don't.

Well, then. This was...certainly an interesting idea. Sidon frowned down at the little device in his hand, feeling quite a bit of his own mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it certainly felt...rather wrong to try to disguise who he was, but, on the other hand, the whole point of a selfless act of charity was to remove one's self from it. You certainly didn't help because it would mean accolades for yourself; you helped for the benefit of people who needed help. And a seven-and-a-half-foot tall sharkman would hardly help to put the already weary and hungry at ease.

And so there would be standing there a human Sidon, marveling just a little at the appearance of his new hands, and then lifting one over his head to check his height.

Well, he looked quite a bit shorter, but his hand was definitely connecting with his taller forehead despite the illusion of a still-pretty-tall-for-a-human-but-not-ridiculous-over-here person. That was something he'd have to be mindful of, especially when it came to doors...

It was extremely weird to see Hera not looking like herself, and Sabine had no need for the device herself, but she still wanted to get a hold of it for a few hours and see what she could do with it.
