Who: Rey & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: For Marsiva.
When: 9/16

[She is understandably confused, but after all she has experienced, she is taking this in careful strides. Unlike a certain member of the Dark Side.]

If anyone can see this transmission, my name is Rey and I was just - [Meeting a cloaked Jedi. No big deal.] It doesn't matter. I'm looking for the Millennium Falcon and a tall Wookiee named Chewbacca.

[Unless she has been kidnapped by the First Order again.]

This ship is called the Marsiva, isn't it? It...wouldn't happen to be owned by the First Order, would it?

[Please say no. She has noticed that she is missing the lightsaber and that leaves her with only one option if she is cornered. How does the Jedi Mind Trick even work?]

[ Huh. ]

. . . No, it is not.

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

[Huh indeed.]

Then who owns it? Do you know?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

A group known as the Atroma. They're less interested in waging war than they are at perpetuating drama.

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

I prefer perpetuating drama over war, at least. [One is annoying and potentially dangerous - the other is always dangerous.] Your voice...

I feel like I've heard it before.

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ That's . . . impossible. Obi-Wan is quite sure he no longer exists in Finn's future. ]

I hear that's debatable and I'm afraid we've never met.

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

[Sorry Obi-Wan, you have a very distinct voice, though she definitely knows she has never seen him in person.]

Not in person. I know that.

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He has a bad feeling about this. ]

Where did you hear it?

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

[A very lingering bad feeling, bless him. The future is not kind.]

In a dream...? No...

It was...when I first found the lightsaber.

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Psychometry. A rare skill among the Jedi. Obi-Wan had used it once, long ago and after that, he couldn't. Quinlan was more skilled at it anyway. ]

. . . Whose?

[ He was going to hate this answer, wasn't he? ]

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

It belongs to Luke Skywalker. I was...taking it to him when I came here. [And, as such, the saber had once belonged to Anakin too.]

Do you know him?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

I did.

[ Obi-Wan pauses deliberately. ] He's one of my students.

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

I met him, but we didn't even have a chance to speak...

[After all of that chaos, she is right back in the same spot.]

The lightsaber... I don't know how to explain it. I saw so many things the first time I found it. Then, when I was fighting someone, it came to me.

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ So Luke was still alive . . . doing who knows what. And the Jedi still exists in this void of a galaxy. Never quite there. ]

It's an old Jedi skill, not often encouraged. You can get overwhelmed by the emotions of the bearer.

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

[And looking curiously like Obi-Wan, actually, with that cloak.]

It scared me. [She is fine admitting that.] Are you a Jedi?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

It scares many people.

I am. I'm called Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[ video ] 1/2

[leftonjakku]

[The... No, wait. She hadn't heard that correctly! But Finn had said the Obi-Wan Kenobi was amongst them.

She flushes a darker red than she had ever done in the desert sun.]

[ video ] 2/2

[leftonjakku]

I'm... Truly honored, sir. I'm sorry for sounding so confusing. I really do know your voice and maybe that's because the lightsaber remembers you? Through the Force?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He sighs quietly. ]

Possibly. It must have -- it would have been Anakin's. Before Luke took it.

[ video ]

[leftonjakku]

Anakin is...Darth Vader? [No wonder Kylo Ren had wanted it.] I want to learn from Luke. I need to.

There's someone trying to follow in Darth Vader's footsteps.

Re: [ video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

( I'm going to assume this conversation is locked if you don't mind )

Anakin is more than that. Darth Vader - whoever that was - is not him. It's not the man I know. It could never be.

[ video / private ] Fine by me. Should have specified.

[leftonjakku]

The Dark Side changes people...

It twists them. Is that what you mean? Anakin wasn't...Anakin...anymore. He was just...a tool?

Re: [ video / private ] no worries <3

[beardstrokes]

I don't know.

[ Would he ever know? Even in Mortis, Obi-Wan couldn't understand, couldn't fathom the man he raised, the family he needed had fallen to the Dark. ]

I might never know. The Dark Side is power and power always corrupts. It is temptation and weakness.

[video / private ] <3

[leftonjakku]

I'm sorry you lost him. [She means that sincerely. It is rather like a death.]

I've tried to avoid it. I don't even know how I do some of the things I do.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

You need a teacher.

[ But . . . he won't offer. Not anymore. ]

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

I'll find one no matter how long it takes.

[She won't ask. That would be presumptuous and rude.]
