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?]

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.

( 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.

[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.]

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

I'm sure you will.

[ Though he doesn't know who or how anymore. ]

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

Are you...okay? [She gets a sense that he's...not.] I'm sorry for asking, but -

I feel like I've made something more difficult for you. Or...sadder?

[Rey's great sense of empathy oftentimes crosses paths with her Force sensitivity.]

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan shakes his head, his expression kind. ]

No. You haven't done that.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

You can call on me. I support the Jedi and if I can help, I want to.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

[ The Jedi are dead, his mind whispers back. Obi-Wan ruthlessly pushes it down. ]

Honestly, I'm not sure how.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

I know what it's like to be alone.

If you just want someone to listen, I will.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

I'll be fine.

[ He shrugs. ] I usually am.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

I wish I was that certain.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

It's a honed Jedi skill.

[ Is it lying or believing? WHO KNOWS. ]

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

Nothing feels certain anymore.

I guess I'm not good Jedi material yet.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He blinks, perplexed. ]

No one becomes a Jedi automatically. It takes years of work and preparation. Having the ability is a start, but it's not enough.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

Right. But I'm not sure I have years to learn.

There's a threat now and Master Luke might be the last Jedi for all I know.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

I'm sure Luke will manage. He seems to have, before.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

I hope so. If nothing else, I'll return his lightsaber to him.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

Luke would appreciate that.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

It can't be easy to deal with enemies without it.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

No. I still don't understand how it left his side.

[ You don't just lose lightsabers. ]

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

He must have been in bad shape. [That's the only assumption she can come to.]
