Who: Sorey
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Immediately!

Does anything rhyme with silver? [somebody's finally trying his hand at writing poetry]

Also if anybody's seen the SS Huntress's welding torch, please let me know! It is a wreck in here, honestly. ...wait, maybe we don't have a welding torch.

[ACTION]

[Sorey can be found half-buried in the guts of engineering, muttering words to himself as he tries to fit them into his rhyming scheme. Occasionally he'll crawl back out of the maintenance panel to write something in a grease-smudged notebook that contains...truly dire but very enthusiastic poetry.]

Really? That'd be all right? [looking kind of hopeful at that] I figured it had to follow all the guidelines for it to be real poetry. I usually don't do a lot of artistic stuff, so...

If your feelings are there, then it shouldn't matter. Isn't that what makes art great? When you are able to follow the feelings that are placed there for you?

[ Jedi philosophers often wrote in strange and archaic ways, but their wisdom remained, even when it wasn't fully understood. ]

Yeah...

Yeah, I guess you're right. [Sorey's been approaching this from an archaeologist's perspective: keep the style uniform so it's easier to date if someone finds it later. He's found himself wishing that whenever they stumble over a fresco with conflicting techniques and end up arguing over its period of origin, but now he's getting the idea from the artist's perspective. It's a little more complicated than just making sure it sticks around for future generations, isn't it?] As long as it invokes emotion in the reader, it's still art even if it isn't perfect. Thank you.

[ He shrugs loosely. ]

I'm simply sharing what art feels like, in my experience.

Are you into art? Like a collector, or avid appreciator? I usually only examine it to date it or learn about history, but you seem to appreciate it on a more emotional level.

Jedi can sense these things.

[ The feelings that people pour into their art. Every object carries an emotional reverence. While he lacks the fine skill to pick out those emotions, he can still feel them. ]

We can pick up the feelings people pour into their work.

You can? That's incredible. You mean actual feelings, like it's an obvious tangible thing?

In a manner of speaking, yes. Even the kind of emotions in the air, during a terrible event and so on, Jedi can sense and perceive.

[ A very strong honed instinct that saves them from surprise attacks and knowing intuitively what kind of actions to take in a desperate situation. ]

Man, no wonder you can see Mikleo so clearly. You must have incredibly high resonance. -or your world's equivalent, rather.

I suppose. I doubt I am the strongest Jedi by any means, but I'm passable in terms of strength.

[ As usual, he's downplaying himself. Obi-Wan may not be as strong in the Force like Anakin or Yoda, but he's powerful in his own right. ]

Do you have any trouble with being able to sense that on the ships? They're such close quarters, so do you ever get any bleed over from other people?

Rarely. They're still a suitable distance away and it has to be an event of great magnitude.

[ Gone are the days when he was younger, when the presence of darker environments made him sick and queasy. He's been well trained. ]
