Who: Members of the Huntress and visitors!
Action: The U.S.S. Huntress!
When: It's a mingle for the month of March!

[ it's that time of year! also, pr was on hiatus for a bit, and needs to throw herself into things, so indulge me!! ]

[ He sits down next to her, out of politeness. His hands are clasped together on his lip. ]

He never listened to anyone. Not to me, not the Council -- He moved through the Force like no other.

[ Like Anakin does. Anakin was so much like Qui-Gon, that sometimes Obi-Wan wasn't sure if there was anything of himself in there. Now, he knows that's not true. But he wonders all the same. ]

Is that something you can describe?

[ She can't sense what he and the other Force-sensitives do. She knows Qui-Gon had a different air to him, but that's not the same. ]
beardstrokes: (Who we are never changes)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-03-30 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt I could do it justice. He was connected to the Living Force while I better understood the Unifying Force. Qui-Gon never saw much of consequences or my "bad feelings" of a situation.

[ He strokes his beard quietly. ]

But I don't need to describe it. You just need to look at Anakin to know.

[ She gives him a small, almost apologetic smile. ]

You lost me at "living force" and "unifying force."

[ She and Anakin don't really talk about Jedi stuff or Senator stuff when they spend time together back home. ]
beardstrokes: (One vision)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-03-30 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Obi-Wan doesn't want to know what they might be talking about. ]

The Living Force is more connecting to life itself. Its cycle, its growth. Living in the moment.

The Unifying Force is more . . . destiny. How events move against one another, how to predict what comes next. Like visions or instincts in a bad situation.

[ Get your mind out of the gutter, Obi-Wan. ]

I can see what you mean. But I see a little of both in him. Sometimes he just... knows things.
beardstrokes: (Always reflects where we come from)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-03-30 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's a double-edged sword, knowing things.

[ Trusting their instincts only gets them so far. ]
diplomacme: (aotc ★ 031)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-01 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
I can imagine it would be.

[ Her voice is soft and her brow furrows slightly with worry.

At least she knows her nightmares are just nightmares. Anakin doesn't have that luxury. ]
beardstrokes: (One vision)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
. . . Yes. I'm sure you have some idea.

[ Obi-Wan stopped getting visions once he got older. People are more susceptible when they are younger - or well, Yoda. ]
diplomacme: (aotc ★ 018)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-17 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Secondhand knowledge is more than enough for me. Determining what's real and true in the present is difficult enough.
beardstrokes: (Facing all that you fear)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-18 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
If it helps, it does lessen as time goes by. Even for Yoda.

[ It is why they're careful with visions, especially with the youth. It could easily lead them astray. ]
diplomacme: (Default)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-18 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It must be frightening for the younglings.

[ All of the visions she's ever heard about have been bad. Frightening. ]
beardstrokes: (Strength of character)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
It is not an experience all younglings go through. Only those powerful in the Force.

[ Like Ahsoka and Anakin. ]
diplomacme: (tcw • 003)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-21 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Like Luke and Leia, she realizes. ]

How do you help them?
beardstrokes: (Crowns are inherited)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-21 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ He runs a hand through his beard, recalling distant memories. ]

The creche masters are very good at what they do. If it gets too bad, they visit Yoda. Having visions is normal. It's not something that should be hidden or feel ashamed about.
diplomacme: (tcw • 002)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-21 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hm. Meaning there's not much a non-Force sensitive like her can do. ]

Fortunately, or I wouldn't be sitting here.
beardstrokes: (Facing all that you fear)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-21 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Obi-Wan nods absently. He remembers the report. ]

We don't recommend ignoring them, but it's important to treat them with caution.
diplomacme: (tcw • 011)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-27 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thoughtfully: ] You said the Unifying Force is linked to visions and the concept of destiny. Did I understand correctly?
beardstrokes: (One vision)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-27 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods curiously. ]

That is the gist of it.
diplomacme: (aotc 004 ★ irritated)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-27 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Then... do you believe he's a chosen one?
beardstrokes: (Only through fire)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-27 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ For a few seconds, it seems like Obi-Wan is unwilling to answer. His brow is knitted tightly.

It is a deeply personal question. Qui-Gon believed in Anakin and believed in the prophecy. How could Obi-Wan say otherwise?

And there was Mortis. ]


I think he can be.
diplomacme: (aotc ★ 018)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-27 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "Can be" is not the certain answer she was expecting. The fact that she doesn't believe is a given, but she expected he might. ]

It's hard to conceptualize when you know him.
beardstrokes: (Is courage)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-28 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes.

But then he does something that none of us could ever do before and - you just know.

[ Padme had seen glimpses of Anakin in the field, but Obi-Wan has been with him every step of the way. ]
diplomacme: (tcw • 002)

[personal profile] diplomacme 2016-04-28 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks thoughtful. Padme tries to think of a time when Anakin did something particularly unusual. ]

I'm not sure what you mean.
beardstrokes: (Struggles often begin)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-28 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
It is not easy to explain. His instincts in battle or when he comes up with a plan that should fail becomes infallible. As the Force itself moves to ensure that.
