Broadcast: Huntress only!
Action: Iskaulit & Huntress
When: 9/16

Huntress crew, this is your first mate, Sorey. ...due to certain circumstances, we are currently without a Captain. I'm acting as Captain now to fill the role, but if there are any interested parties, please contact me at your soonest convenience.

In the meantime, if there's anything that requires tending to, please don't hesitate to let me know. Any supplies we're short on, any concerns you may have about the status of the ship...I know we're at full capacity now, so if we start taking on extra passengers again we'll have to double up. And I'm also the ship's engineer, so please bring any technical problems you have to me.

...thank you...to everyone who has been looking after the ship for the past couple weeks.



[Sorey can be found both in engineering on the Huntress and at the Interfaith center on the Iskaulit. If your character can sense spiritual power and has run into him before, they may notice him lacking his usual protective/cleansing domain.]

[ Wait what. Obi-Wan can do nothing but stare for a few agonizing seconds. ]

You mean . . . he's gone?

Re: [ action ]

[monolike]

Yes. [Sets his jaw. Laces his figers together so tightly his knuckles go white.] ...he's-he's dead.

Re: [ action ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Dead. Impossible, but everything that Sorey seems to say rings true with the Force.

With great effort, he moves to place his hand gently on Sorey's shoulder. ]

[Just like every other time he's been given comfort, Sorey feels he doesn't deserve it. He tenses a little, pulling into himself and tucking his head down.]

You shouldn't.

It- it was my fault. Mikleo came to save me, and I turned him into that. I would've done it to more people, too. I was looking for them, desperately. I didn't care who got hurt.

[ He exhales quietly. ]

That may be true.

But loss is loss, no matter who is responsible. I don't think punishing yourself would be what anyone wants. Especially Mikleo.

[ action ]

[monolike]

A friend told me punishing myself isn't practical. Well, more or less.

[He rubs his face roughly.] Sorry. I keep ending up pityimg myself instead of concentrating on what's important. You're Mikleo's friend too, so...I'm sorry for your loss as well.

Re: [ action ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He squeezes Sorey's shoulder gently. ]

I know you are.

But grieve if you must. Don't judge yourself for that.

[ action ]

[monolike]

Mmm. [Sorey nods.] You're right. Thank you.

[He takes a deep breath and rubs at his nose, sniffing.] Regardless, if there's anything you're concerned about or would like to ask, please, feel free to.

Re: [ action ]

[ Obi-Wan shakes his head. ]

It can keep. If you want, I can keep an eye on the ship. I've been doing it for some time now.

[ action ]

[monolike]

I- I could use the help, but I want to try and take over more duties. A new captain will have to be appointed eventually, but until then... [Taking over some of the burden left behind makes him feel a little closer to Mikleo. Just a little.]

Re: [ action ]

[beardstrokes]

Hmm. Let's give it some time.
