V. Important Requests

[flickerflash]

Who: Katie and anyone
Broadcast: Fleet
Action: The Vanquish if you want
When: 10 Feb

Dear Atrama,

Can we please visit a planet with beaches next? I keep meeting people who haven't seen one and that's terrible. It's actually a crime where I come from.
Please don't let anyone get arrested.
I believe in you.

Also if you take requests can I have my cat please. And some chalk and I was meant to have a sword I think I could be wrong. It's a short silver gold magical
IT'S A LIGHTSABER
A RED ONE
Either that or just give me Mihawks.

[GO BIG OR GO HOME]

Please thank you love Dorothy.

[This has been a totally efficient use of your communicator, Katie, gj.]

I am. My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'm a Jedi Master.

[flickerflash]

[It's great but WHY HAVEN'T YOU SHOWN HER SINCE THEN]

Where did you get it from? Was someone selling them? You didn't take it from a Jedi did you??

[ text ] 1/2

[flickerflash]

trws

[That was. Probably Katie dropping her comm like a hot potato, to be honest.]

[ video ]

[flickerflash]

[She picks it up again fast enough, peering at it and wishing it wasn't text and-- oh yeah she can change that part, can't she? The video flicks on to show a small girl peering dubiously and too closely at the camera before she demands with a British accent hopefully:]

You're not just playing, are you?

[She's met Han Solo it's entirely possible]

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

I'm not lying, if that's what you mean. Though I'm not sure how to prove it to you.

[ video ]

[flickerflash]

But you're not old! [Sob sorry Obi Wan.] You're meant to have all this white hair and a brown robe and live in a desert!

--did you live in a desert before this?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Ah. He knows what she's referring to. ]

Not yet. Though I imagine I will at some point.

[huaaaaagh]

[HE'S BEEN. BUSY??]

no no nooo

I made it with gun parts

[flickerflash]

Why would you say that?

[It's a while in coming, and it's a straight out question.]

[ video ]

[flickerflash]

[She opens her mouth for a second. Closes it. Does it again. It's-- questions. She wants to ask so many questions. He could be lying! But he sounds the same. (Sort of.) And Han is already here. And then she keeps shutting up again because it's probably not very nice to ask him if Darth Vader is Darth Vader yet, all things considered.

Though she really does want to know. Um. And Katie will take people at face value in most cases.] So where do you live now? How old are you now? Are you fighting lots of bad guys?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ His lips twitch before it gives way for a smile. ]

I . . . live on Coruscant, so to speak, at the Jedi Temple. I am thirty-eight years old and I still fight lots of bad guys. Whole armies of them, in fact.

[ video ]

[flickerflash]

[She's never heard of Coruscant, but her eyes light up at the thought of an actual Jedi Temple.]

All by yourself? [Jedi really ARE powerful.] Oh, but you have other Jedi, right? Are you winning?

[She can't remember much about what's meant to have happened before the movies. But there had to be a war in there somewhere.]

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

Well, with a few others. My clone squadron, for example. Anakin tends to tag along as well.

[ "Are you winning?" makes his confident smile flicker, but it's barely noticeable. ]

We will. Eventually.

[bb_wolf]

Spaceship. In space. With constant changes in people and location. There is nothing in that collective that a cat likes.

Also, no cat deserves the crap they feed us.

[ Hera will always be confused about these people who seem to know what a lightsaber is, what a Jedi is, but aren't from her galaxy. ]

An apprentice.

[geonomy]

maybe that's the whole purpose of a ninja ocaen

SURPRISE DUNKAGE!!!

in that case i feel pretty lucky 2 be -alive-

[flickerflash]

Is it just like a lightsaber? Does it make vmmm noises?

[Very important!] How hard was it to make? Could you make more?

[flickerflash]

we need to be more careful in future!
i wonder what the warning signs are of ninja beaches
maybe they're too good and we're all doomed

[ video ]

[flickerflash]

[She's about to ask what the heck a clone squadron is when he says the magic word.]

Anakin-!

[O-oh. She shuts up for a moment, then asks more tentatively:] What's he like?

[It's hard to go from idolising movie characters to meeting real people when she's nine. She's trying.]

[flickerflash]

[Okay, well. That's not what she thought he was going to say for a moment, so she relaxes. Licorice is a cat with more than a small slice of fey to her by this point, but even so.]

But I was so hoping they'd listen and bring me stuff. I can't live without my cat.

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Now that's an interesting question. He takes his time with it, folding his arms. ]

Well, he is a superlative Jedi. Compassionate, strong. Determined to do the right thing, even when the scales are against him.

[ Tormented, hurt, struggling with the weight of his destiny, the weight of it all. ]

I'm proud to know him and to have taught him.

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby is a sensible man above all. And frankly, he has no idea if Katie IS a child or merely looks like one, like Pinocchio.]

Think you'll just have to, kitten.

[flickerflash]

As long as she doesn't get old without me. {She can deal with the rest. She hasn't seen her in over a year by this point, after all.]

They can bring me a lightsaber instead to make up for it.

[bb_wolf]

[No one Bigby knows ages. No one he cares about can die of old age.]

I think that worries me more, frankly.

[ video ]

[flickerflash]

[She's not sure what superlative means, but the rest is clear enough. Katie wrinkles her nose in thought. She does know how easy it can be to twist someone around completely, but even so.]

He sounds very nice. [And she sounds very uncertain because she's beating down the urge to ask do you know what happens to him? It's very rude, and she wouldn't be able to explain anyway. ...although.] I know someone just like him at home.
