Who: Ahsoka + Obi-wan and YOU
Broadcast: No
Action: Planet-side
When: 10th of Jan

[ As promised, in a few days time, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan make their way to the markets. They dress warmly, Obi-Wan procuring a thick cloak for himself. It's hard to feel like a Jedi Master without one.

He watches as Ahsoka flits from stall to stall as he lingers behind her, to correct her on her "bargaining" technique. In a way, they resemble a teenager, saddled with a wiser all-knowing uncle. He strokes his beard in light amusement. This is probably what he needed right now, a reassessment of his priorities, the here and now. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Allen was out shopping for last minute supplies for his ship, keeping to himself for the most part. A hood covers up his white hair and facial features, possibly as a way to detract attention from himself. Though this might be not very successful, what with a golden metal golem riding on his shoulder. It's quite active too, leaning over sometimes to peer at what Allen's looking at, or flapping its wings. The flapping only gets more intense when they get near one of the food stalls that happen to be near the jedi duo]

Tim, I told you. We find everything on the list and then we can get lunch.

[There's a pause and he seems to linger, looking towards the stall]

Though it does smell good... [nnngh]

[ A probe? No, something alive, though it feels strange with the Force. He squints at it briefly as it flutters around the white-haired boy. He buries his curiosity for now. ]

Why not treat yourself first?

[He'll look over when Obi-Wan speaks, as does the golem. He's not someone familiar, but he seems different from the natives on the planet. He gives a slight amused sound and offers a smile]

It's tempting, but then I wouldn't be able to scold my captain for his impulsive spending habits. [Shopaholic, that one]

[ A hint of teasing. ]

Well, then, you're a great man not to succumb to temptation. Who is your captain?

Sokka, of the SS Blue Fish.

He's a great captain, but he's dangerous to take shopping.

I imagine our Captain probably has similar . . . issues.

[ To put it mildly. ]

Really? Whose your captain?

A man named Greed. I'm sure you have heard of him.

Oh, you're on that ship?

[Yeesh, poor man]

Yeah, I've heard of him. He's the man who threw a tantrum when some of his crew transferred didn't he?

[ He sighs. Really, Greed. ]

The one and the same. Hopefully, he'll curb that reaction.

[Ahsoka doesn't recognise Allen-- the only time they talked was over text, after all. Her attention is caught immediately by Tim.]

Whoa. What's that?

[He turns when he hears Ahsoka talk. Which well, her face is a giveaway that this is someone from the fleet, so he'll give a friendly smile]

Oh, this is Timcanpy. He's my golem.

[Tim flaps his wings a little in greeting]

Awwww, he's cute! [She's enamored by Tim for a moment, leaning in a bit further to inspect him. Then she turns her face back to Allen.]

What's a golem?

[Timcanpy just seems to be flattered by the remark from a lady, fluttering his wings. Allen smiles and lifts his hand over to his shoulder so Timcanpy can climb onto it like a bird. Once he's on the hand, Allen will move his hand so she can get a closer look at Tim]

They're machines made with a combination of magic and technology. They can used for communication, recording, navigation...all sorts of things.

Though Timcanpy is pretty unique. Not many golems have as much personality as he does. [Except maybe Lero, but Lero was a lesson in why you shouldn't program a golem to talk, yeesh.]

Oh! I see. So they're sort of like a magical version of a droid! I get it now. Cool.

A droid? You mean like an android?

That's right. Back home there are droids for everything. Translation, flight assistance, cooking-- you name it.

I see...yeah, I suppose he's like that! Though I've never seen a golem cook...

[As much as he wishes because that'd be crazy useful. He glances at Tim, who just seems to give a wing shrug]

It's nice you got to keep him. I wish Anakin's R2 unit was here. I miss the little guy.

[Anakin...that name sounds familiar...]

There's always a chance he might turn up. I found Timcanpy on a station here.

What, really? Huh.

... I'm Ahsoka, by the way. I don't think we've met.

[That name catches his attention]

Ahsoka? You mean the Jedi?

[He smiles] I'm Allen. We spoke during that game of "I've Never" last month?

Ex-Jedi. Technically. Obi-Wan is the only Jedi here.

But yes, that's me. I remember you.

[Obi-Wan was here....Wow. Clay must be going nuts. But Allen clears his throat and keeps from reacting to that.]

Ah, right of course. I wasn't sure of the proper terms...

[How someone stops becoming a jedi, and all that]

I'm glad to hear you remember me. It's nice to finally have a face to the name.

[Wait until he finds out Anakin Skywalker is here too.]

It's fine. It's an easy mistake.

What ship are you on?
