Who: Loki
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the moon initially, but he'll be back to the Paisley soon, and probably on the Iskaulit
When: June 5 (ends June 12)

Video

[Video starts with... that sure is Loki. But there's something subtly weird about his expression. There's nothing guarded or calculated about it, a slight relaxation of ever-present tension that was never apparent before, perhaps. The best poker face in all Nine Realms is nowhere to be seen. If anything, he looks upset. Confused, worried, a bit scared. And he's out in the forest on the toxic moon, which is just great, let him tell you. No mask, but he's never needed one before, not that he's aware of that, or of the fact that most people have to wear them.]

Hello? Yes, this seems to be working. What a curious device. [Anyway. The point.]

I seem to be lost. Very lost. Where is this?

[A view of the forest, brief but steady.]

And--[Careful breath.]--who am I?

Action

[Lucky Loki, his augment has glitched and while he remembers how to do things--and the occasional esoteric fact--he has no idea who he is. Good news--or bad news depending on your opinion of his usual space asshole personality--he'll get over it in about a week.

Even if no one comes find him, he'll make his way back to civilization eventually and be very confused about life and where he's even supposed to be. Good thing he's practically indestructible. But eventually, he will be around on the Paisley, and on the Iskaulit, poking about.]

A Jedi trains them? Does that mean they are all Jedi as well?

Oh-- no, that's not how it works.

Being a Jedi is about using the Force, and dedicating yourself to a certain way of life. Clones aren't Force sensitive, and they don't have to live by the Code. Being trained by a Jedi just means they have a good teacher.

Oh, I see. So Jedi teach other things, and teach many students who aren't like themselves. That seems... good?

Exactly!

Master Kenobi always says that pursuing knowledge and passing on that knowledge is the highest calling of a Jedi. Or something.

To me that sounds like a noble calling for anyone. [As someone who has almost no knowledge, he thirsts for it.]

Master Kenobi sounds very wise.

He is! He was my master's master.

He's here, if you want to speak with him. You should seek him out. He always knows just what to say when people are troubled.

That sounds like a very good idea. [Maybe it'll get him some more answers. He still feels like he doesn't know nearly enough.] Would you... introduce us?

Of course! You don't need to ask twice.

Thank you, Ahsoka. You have already been such a good friend. [Friend's the word, right? His first friend?]

[Ahsoka just beams.]

Aw. It's no problem.

[Boy I can't wait for THAT to become awkward.]

I'm just sorry I couldn't be of more help. But hey, at least you found the library!

[Aw yiss, friendship achieved. ~~This is totally not going to be super awkward later~~.]

The library is wonderful, though! I shall have to come back here often, until I have read all of the books.

[Ahsoka gives him a friendly punch on the arm. It doesn't hurt.]

Nerd.

[He laughs, feeling very pleased with myself.]

Oh, is that what I am? What does that make you?

I don't know. Whatever the opposite of a nerd is!

You'd get on well with my best friend. She's always in the library.

I'm certain I'll find the word for it eventually. [Grin.] Perhaps in the library.

Who is your best friend? [She sounds like his kind of person.]

Oh! Her name is Barriss! [Like any proud thirteen year old ready to boast about her best friend:] She's super smart, and good at healing. Once, she memorised an entire labyrinth.

She sounds a very good person to know. Is she here?

And what do you mean by "memorized a labyrinth"?

I wish.

As to that-- we had this mission where we had to sneak into enemy territory. The easiest way in was from these underground tunnels, but the tunnels were a massive maze. Barriss memorized a map of the whole thing so we could travel through it quicker and decrease the risk of being spotted. It was super cool.

Ah, I'm sorry that you're without her, then. [Being alone isn't pleasant, he's noticed that already.]

That sounds quite fun! Particularly the bit with the maze.

It was pretty fun, looking back on it! I mean, until the part where we nearly died, but that bit was afterwards.

[SO CAVALIER...]

...nearly dying sounds much less fun. What happened?

Oh. Well... our mission was to blow up an enemy factory that was mass-producing droids. Only, after we set the charges, we were discovered and all our bombs were destroyed. If it had just been us, we would've retreated to try again another day, but... there were two entire companies outside the factory engaged in a battle. They were depending on us to blow the factory up-- otherwise they would've been slaughtered.

Without any bombs though, the only way to blow it up was to destroy the reactor... and the only way to do that was with us still inside it, sooooo...

[You can see where that's going.]

[He is absolutely fascinated.]

So you had to put yourself at great risk to destroy the reactor and hope that you could escape in time. That is very brave.

[She gives a little sheepish smile.]

Anakin scolded me for a week after they pulled us both out of the wreckage...

But I just thought-- you know. Every Jedi is taught that it's their duty to put the needs of many over personal preference. So I was just doing what any other Jedi would do...

[You can kind of see why so many other Fleeters are so horrified by Ahsoka's upbringing, even if she herself doesn't see any problem with it.]
