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

[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?

[Along with Leia, Luke, and Han...it's like going to comic con in space up here]

I'm on the Blue Fish. I was actually trying to find some supplies for it.

What about you?

Oh... huh. I'm not sure I know anyone on the Blue Fish. Except for you, obviously.

I'm on the Starstruck.

That doesn't surprise me, it's a big fleet these days.

Oh the Starstruck? I just treated a patient from that ship the other day.

Hmmm.

[Ahsoka thinks for a moment. Who's needed treating on her ship? ... Oh.]

... Meathead?

Meathead?

[he blinks. But you know, considering the weird shit he's seen? It's entirely possible that's his real name- so his more literal mind doesn't assume it's a nickname]

Oh, I thought his name was Max.

Is it? He wouldn't tell me his name. So I call him Meathead.

[Well to be fair Allen might've cheated with crew rosters while filling out paperwork because otherwise it's entirely possible Yuff messed something up welp]

Why wouldn't he tell you his name...?

[That's weird.]

[Ahsoka shrugs.]

Don't know. He's funny about it, I guess. Some cultures are like that, though. Weird about names, I mean.

Oh, that might be it. Maybe he's from a world with magic- some type of magics give you power over people if you know their true names.

Still, he could at least come up with a fake name so he's not called Meathead....

Too bad. He's stuck with it now.

[He snorts] Alright. I'll make sure to note it in the medical records.

And I'm going to assume "Meathead" didn't tell you how he's doing...so how have you been? Sounds like someone from your home came since we spoke.

More than one, actually. My old master showed up-- that's Anakin. The one I mentioned earlier, with the droid.

And this is Obi-Wan, Anakin's old master. There are a few other people here from our galaxy too, but... I don't know them personally.

Wow, really?

[His eyebrows raise in surprise. That's...a lot of people from one verse to show up. Especially to someone who hasn't seen anyone from his own world in years.]

That must be keeping you busy. [In a good or bad way.]
