KEERO WEEK 2025 | @syrilxdedra

↳ Day Four - Alternate Universe

Dedra Meero's parents are never arrested and she is never taken by the Kinderblock. Instead, she grows into one of the Outer Rim's most notorious thieves, known for stealing valuable equipment from imperial and corporate authority alike. When her latest heist turns out to be a trap, Dedra is forced to come face to face with Syril Karn: the corporate security officer who has been obsessively hunting her for years. But as Syril questions Dedra on her ties to anti-Imperial activity, the two discover they aren't so different afterall. There is an inexplicable connection neither of them can deny. Just as Syril begins to re-think everything he knows about Dedra and the very Empire itself, she escapes custody on Morlana One and flees to Coruscant. Although the blunder costs Syril his job, he can't help but seek Dedra Meero one last time...

syril karn, freak in every location.

Maybe we look at the feet, and they look at the waves.

You're into feet?

I'm not, but I know you are, Fjord.

That's not canonically accurate, that's not a thing.

If the Empire used Dedra as their ISB propaganda princess...

Every time it snowed, the snow plow would take out his mailbox - and only his mail box.  And just to be clear - it was done intentionally.  No one knows why, but the driver of the snow plow would target his box and mow it down.  He’d call the DOT to complain, and would get an earful of excuses that amounted to “not our fault you have a wimpy mailbox.”  

Fast forward to the next winter.  First decent snow starts falling, and every kid is hoping for a snow day.  It was right around 4:30 am that the whole neighborhood was woken up to this loud CLANG and the screech of tearing metal.  My dad made it to the window first and started laughing his ass off.

Sitting out side was one very totaled, and almost ripped in half, snow plow.  And these weren’t little pick-up trucks with a blade on the front, we have these up in NY:

Well, turns out over the summer, my dad’s neighbor got himself a backhoe and sank a steel I beam into the ground in his front yard.  Then he covered it with a decorative wood sleeve and topped it with a brand new mailbox.  When the snowplow driver tried to mow it down it was a bad case of immovable object meets unstoppable force - and the mailbox won.  With the plow firmly impaled on the I beam, it was very clear that the driver had gone out of his way to hit it.  

Naturally, the DOT wasn’t happy, and the neighbor’s reply was simple: “Not my faulty you have a wimpy snowplow.”  They did try to sue him for the damages, but as he had gone to the town, gotten approval for the post and its installation, and made sure everything was up to code, it was thrown out pretty quick.
