Who: Everybody who hates this moon! And a few that don't!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: The Good Ship Iskaulit
When: Throughout the Toxic Moon event

[Y'all, Misty can't be the only one who hates this place, so let's all gather on the Iskaulit, safe from all that dark and rot down on the polluted moon and have ourselves a good time!

(Or at least, a pollution-free time).

A list of establishments on the Iskaulit can be found here!]

A most wise decision.

[ He sips his tea calmly. ]

[She laughs.]

You're a weird guy, Obi-Wan.

[Misty, look at your life. Who are you calling weird? But she sips her tea too.]

[ He hums lightly. ]

I never saw it that way until now. Mostly, I look like the ideal Jedi to outsiders.

[Shrug.] I don't know what a Jedi is supposed to look like.

Calm, collected, for the most part. We're trained not to let our emotions get in our way of doing our duty.

[ A concept he's been finding hard lately, but still believes in. ]

Don't think I'd make a very good Jedi then.

If it helps, I don't think you're missing much.

[ He takes very little offense to these kind of sentiments. Being a Jedi was hard. It demanded a lot from you. ]

[She tilts her head, curious.]

Don’t you like being a Jedi?

It's more than I've only ever been a Jedi. It's something I started as a child.

[ Which allows for little to no imagination of what his life could have been. ]

Guess there ain't no running from what you are, for anyone.

I am a Jedi.

[ Being anything else - contemplating anything else just doesn't happen with Obi-Wan. ]

It is who I am. But perhaps being a Jedi needs to evolve.

Evolve like how?

I'm not sure myself.

[ Introducing reforms into the Jedi culture sounds . . . well, insane. Which is why he's left it up to Ahsoka and Anakin for the most part. He's followed their lead. ]

But I don't think I'll be the one to spearhead any reforms.

Why not? You seem like you'd be a good leader to me.

[ He holds his hands up. ]

Appearances can be deceiving. Leading requires more than just experience. It needs surety, which I no longer possess.

[Because of his student. Musta really meant a lot to him.]

Maybe you'll find it again some day. You never know.

I believe it. But for now, I wouldn't consider myself a stellar example.

In the meantime, you’re still a real good teacher. I’ve been practicin’ the meditation you taught me and it’s really helped a lot, not just with the force, but with my magic too. It’s gettin’ stronger, I can feel it.

Well, I am happy to have helped.

You wanna see some of the stuff I've figured out?

By all means.

[ He's seen different forms of magic, due to the Nightsisters. But he's curious to see how someone closer to the Light Side would do. ]

Well, for one thing, I've gotten way better at telekinesis. I used to could only move little things and it took me a long time. But now look!

[She turns to stare at a large potted plant on the other side of the room. After a moment, it starts to slide across the floor, stopping neatly at Obi-Wan's feet. She's gotten better with her precision too, though she still makes mistakes, like spilling beer all over poor Remy, so she's pleased that this didn't end up with a broken flower pot.]

Impressive.

[ It certainly is, especially in a non-Force user. Though, technically, she was one. He runs a hand through his beard. ]

What were you thinking when you tried to move it?

[The corner of her mouth quirks upward in amusement.]

Well I was thinking I wanted it to move. What else would I be thinkin'?

Was that the only thing?
