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.]

[That's not the answer she was expecting. She wasn't accusing him of anything-- hmm. Katie frowns. She's not really aware his thoughts have gone down a different path, so she wonders if she were just confusing. It's hard to explain these things.]

No, I mean-- don't you love the people around you? They're your friends, aren't they? They like that you're there, don't they? That can make a lot of difference.

[You can save someone just by being there for them, sometimes. Or maybe Jedi aren't allowed.]

Perhaps.

[ He smiles faintly, realizing that his thoughts have slipped in morose territory. ]

I can't say for sure if I have helped them much by being here. I suppose I'll only know when we've finally changed things around for the future.

Nothing's very sure ever, is it? [She grins a little.] That sounds like something Jedi would say all the time.

You're better off trying everything you can, anyway. You don't want to be sitting around thinking of all the things you didn't do much later on.

No. Nothing is ever set in stone and the future is always changing.

[ If it takes a little girl to show him wisdom, then Obi-Wan has a lot to learn. ]

I've never been good at sitting around anyway.

Can I ask what you'll be drawing on? I didn't see a lot of surfaces on the ships that'll take to chalk. Do you have a blackboard in your room?

That it does, kitten.

Unless it makes them more dead.

[ MYSTERY PERSON INDEED ]

Do you think you'll start doing bad things and turn Sith if you get a lightsaber?

I don't think I can even get sick.

You'll probably meet him eventually! He's very famous is the one you met Anakin? He's also famous I think I'm not sure

[For entirely different and terrible reasons.]

[Bahaha, she knows. But the idea of frozen money is so amusing to her.]

I like my version better :P

[LEARNING]

When it's not locked up would you make me a lightsaber? You can have all of it!!

[She's older than she looks in some respects. This isn't the conversation she thought she'd be having today, though.]

Sitting around is very bad for you anyway, I think. You might melt from sheer boredom. Do you have much to do out here in space?

[ No one expects the Star Feels. ]

Not in this particular galaxy. In mine, I rarely had time to sit down anywhere. Fighting a war would do that.

[HE

IS REALLY REALLY WARY OF GIVING A CHILD A LASER SWORD, OH GOD

why did he not keep his mouth shut]

um

do you have a parent or guardian here

[Oh. She hadn't even thought of that. Katie wrinkles her nose in thought.]

Chalk won't work on the ship? That's a shame. Can you think of what might?

[...yeah, she might have been going to vandalise the ship. Shh.]

Anything's possible, I suppose. But I'm sure if I accidentally turn to the dark side, I'll come back to the light very quickly! My mother wouldn't like it, after all.

But you don't know for sure! And being comfy is just as important. Can you be uncomfy?

I'm pretty certain. ...I guess it is, yes.

Then you won't turn to the dark side. A red lightsaber doesn't make you bad.

[ "Accidentally", haha. But humoring her: ]

You must be very strong to do that. Your mother would be very proud.

Wars are very rude like that, never giving you a moment to breathe. They need to have recess like everyone else. [Huff.]

Is it true you know a lot about padawans? [She says the word carefully because she only heard it for the first time about, oh, five minutes ago.]

I do. I trained two, after all. A Jedi Master is often called upon to teach.

Why do you ask?

[Two! One would be Anakin. She wonders who the other is.]

Someone I don't know said I can't have a lightsaber unless I'm a padawan first! Do you know how I might become one?

Well, a Master would have to teach you. And you would need to be Force-sensitive. It is a lot of training and hard work.

Only everyone ever apparently

[The amount of people going ssh child at her over swords, gosh]

I'm a knight!! Knights need swords. Would you like me to show you I can use one?

[Oh. Well, the training and hard work thing she can deal with for something so amazing. It's not that different from being a squire. On the other hand--]

I bet I'm Force-sensitive! [This is either extremely unrealistic hope or denial. Or both.] How do I find out?

Well, I would have to meet you in person to know.

[ He's not sure about alternate versions of the Force, like magic and whatnot. ]
