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. ]

Not really.

[Still, the thought of multiple planets that kidnap people... It makes him uneasy.]

The planet I'm thinking of was called Earth. Or well, it was a Earth. Parallel universes kind of apply here.

[beardstrokes]

Well, I've certainly never heard of it until I arrived at this place. So I can't speak for any Earths.

[ Gently.] Iego was a special case. There was an old laser system in place. To prevent people from escaping.

[stefanged]

Make sense. Earth didn't have widespread space travel, so... there wasn't an easy way for people to leave.

[Well, that, and he had been told that his home planet had been destroyed. News like that keeps a guy planet-bound.]

[ He observes him quietly before nodding. ]

It is a large universe out there. We may never fully understand how it works. So, we survive with the rules we do have and hope the universe allows for it.

[stefanged]

If the universe is that big? I'd bet it would more than allow for a few things.

[How else is Atroma getting away with a serious human (er, sentient being) rights violation?]

I'm sure we'll make it out some day. Just a matter of when.

[beardstrokes]

The universe, I'm afraid, is made up of the good and the bad. Light and the Dark. I would not call it capricious by nature, but knowing.

And perhaps, there is the good we pass along to the planets.

[ The Atroma, to Obi-Wan, is a very small part of the terrible violations he's seen. ]
