Who: Obi-Wan Kenobi and You
Broadcast: Video
Action: Hospitality Deck - Marsiva
When: January 2nd

[ Obi-Wan is no stranger to waking up to unknown locations, but this seemed odd . . . even for him. He gropes for his lightsaber . . . which is gone, obviously. He huffs, before straightening himself and brushing his hair back. Communications . . . communications . . . ah, there it is.

A video feed. Somewhat archaic, but it'll do. He doubts anyone from the Republic will be nearby, but perhaps the locals will offer some aid. Obi-Wan clears his throat before speaking. It's time for his other skill set to come in use. ]

Greetings. My name is General Kenobi. To whom do I have the pleasure of addressing? And I don't suppose there is someone willing to answer my questions? Because I have a great deal many of them.

Jedi instincts are usually pretty good, so that's reassuring. [until it comes to "is this guy evil" or "is my APPRENTICE evil" or "literally everyone is telling you not to do it Ulic/Anakin/Etc maybe you should not do it" but. nitpicking.] I prefer the robes to the armor. It's a much better look.

[ Let's develop an evil gps system. ]

So do I, but Cody does insist and I should make some allowances for my Commander.

[ Cody tends to fret, which Obi-Wan always found amusing. ]

[that would help a lot in preventing like 90% of EU events]

A little fussy, is he?

[ And a huge chunk of the prequels. ]

He cares, though he's not known for showing it.

I suppose that could be tricky for a military man.

What about you?

My stance on armor? I could certainly do without it. Unless you mean the war itself.

[ And the more the war progresses, he finds himself to be less inclined towards it. ]

I meant about showing that you care, but I'm not surprised you could do without the armor and war too.

[ He frowns lightly. Does he not show it . . . ? ]

I suppose I do not make a lot of overt emotional gestures, but you know as well as I, that compassion is a cornerstone in a Jedi's life.

[It's okay, she's just being obnoxious.]

Good to know. You're probably the calm one trying to keep everyone in check, I bet.

[ He chuckles lightly. ]

Is it that obvious?

It is if you've met Ahsoka and Anakin already.

Considering they are my padawans, I have more than the distinct honour of meeting them.

Both of them?

Well, I'd say that shows it's good for Jedi to pick apprentices who contrast them.

Well, Ahsoka is really Anakin's, but we take on plenty of missions together.

[ Picking them though, is not something he did. ] I can't say I chose them personally.

So she's more like your grand-padawan. I like it.

No? So how'd it happen? [she's expecting something like how she chose her Master, in spite of his protests.]

It . . . was my Master's dying wish. That I train Anakin, help him realize his place as a Jedi.

[ He hadn't agreed with it before. They argued about it. One of his last few conversations with Qui-Gon, mired by doubt. ]

[...well. this is what you get for being a nosy brat, Vima.]

...I see.

[...]

I bet he'd be proud.

[ He laughs. It's not entirely pleasant. ]

We don't know that.

...No. [man. she really stepped on a mine there.

which is reminding her of her own recently deceased master.]

But... if Ahsoka is the kind of Jedi that Anakin trained. That would take a good foundation.

You're giving me far too much credit.

We'll see.

It's nice to have more Jedi around, anyway.

. . . How long has it been for you?

[She counts it up in her head--it's easier for her to think of the months as numbers than by their names.]

About... seven months by their calendar.

That's . . . quite a while.

[ Even for Jedi. He can't imagine what that must feel like. ]

[She nods.]

Don't get me wrong, I don't like that Atroma is kidnapping even more Jedi, but it is nice to have other people from home.
