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.]

Is it your size or my size?

[You might get let off the hook for that one. She can always find a stick the right size, really.]

[ah...haha... yeah, that's the problem.]

honestly it's a little heavy for even me

Why are you using such a heavy sword, then? Put some feathers on it.

[Clearly the optimal solution.

...wonder if the kitchen has a knife she can borrow.]

[ Maybe all small children are like that. Who knows ]

On a screen, fighting against another Jedi? [ He sounds confused, a bit shocked, and he is exactly that. They don't allow vids in the Temple and especially not with a reporter. And that would be the only place where he would fight another Jedi, in a sparring ring. ]

No, that can't be me. You sure you weren't watching a holodrama? Hey, maybe it was someone who looked like me.

Not really. Nobody ever believes me when I say meet anyone. You'd think I didn't talk to strangers all the time.

[I'm just going to remain really vague about this if that's all right with you.]

So am I Force-sensitive?

[...how does one try their best to look Force-sensitive. She wishes she knew.]

No, no, not against, with. [Hurriedly. Don't get the wrong idea! Or the right one.] Um... you know. Both of you together. Against bad guys!

Jedi wouldn't ever fight other Jedi, would they?

[ Hmm. He reaches into the Force. The voice it speaks back to him is strange and he's not sure what to make of it. ]

Yes . . . And there's something else too.

[ Two souls, profoundly connected. ]

I suppose so. In my world not many people talk much about the Jedi anymore, so it's hard to say who is famous anymore.

[ Against the bad guys! That's more like it. ] So it was a holodrama!

Sometimes, Jedi spar- they fight each other for training. Obi-Wan and I would used to do that when we had free time and were in the Temple. We spent hours sparring. We have to keep in shape and practice beating the bad guys, right?

It was a gift, sorry

oh well that's fair. If someone gave me a gift like that I'd use it too! Probably I'll see if I can borrow something!

Oh! That's right! [She's relieved. This is less dangerous ground.] And you're all very good at it.

Do you ever spar with people that aren't Jedi? Though I suppose nobody else really uses a sword or anything, so I suppose you wouldn't get much chance.

maybe we could find a good stick at the park?

[Katie looks startled.] I am? Are you sure?

[Wait no she shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, right? She brightens.] I mean-- I am! That's good, isn't it? Does that mean I can be a Padawan?

Oh that's a good idea! And then I can visit the park again it's really nice. Do you want to meet me down there?

[ Hm. She's a little old and he doesn't feel confident enough to take on another Padawan learner. Not to mention that they were very far away from the Order. ]

I can make you an honourary Padawan for now.

yeah let's do that

[Sword shenanigans in a public place WHAT COULD GO WRONG]

Why not? Did they do something wrong?

[She promises she won't turn into a Sith lord. They look cool and she loves Darth Vader, but not as a real person. Her face brightens with a wide grin and she does her best not to bounce on her heels.]

Really? What do honorary Padawan do? Do they take honorary lessons? Do they make honorary lightsabers?

[Do they get a lightsaber. Very important!]

[And then Kirito was arrested for apparently threatening a small child.]

I will meet you!!

[Annnd she's gone. Hope you're okay with 'straight away'.]

To some degree, certainly. It does involve a lot of commitment and you will only receive an honourary lightsaber if you follow instructions and learn your lessons.

It will not be easy, by any means.

If it was easy, it wouldn't be worth it. [She grins again fleetingly, before trying to look serious and attentive.]

I've seen squires! I know how hard they have to work, though I've never been one. Do I need to take any oaths?

Oh man, I love blanket forts! I used to make 'em all the time in my house with Mikleo, especially when it was raining and I couldn't go outside.

Normally, yes. But not one for honourary Padawans. Holding you to that standard when I cannot provide proper lightsabers or the Jedi temple for training seems unfair.

[ He considers it thoughtfully. ]

I suppose I'll have to draft up a new oath for you.

[ He'll... let that go for now. It's probably easy to mistake holodramas with actual war footage. ]

Sparring doesn't require a lightsaber. We could always use wooden swords or practice hand-to-hand combat. My Captain is an excellent example someone I would be more than happy to spar with if we ever had the free time. Not that he's here, but if you've ever seen him in action - that man knows how to handle himself without a blaster.
