[ The stream goes live with two men standing in front of the camera. They both look a little stiff in front of it, though the bearded man seems more relaxed and casual while the taller one seemed a little . . . frowny ]

Greetings, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. And this is my compatriot and partner, Anakin Skywalker. We hail from Coruscant and are part of the Jedi Order.

The Jedi are keepers of peace … most of the time.

[ Before Obi-Wan can say anything, Anakin looks over at him with a shrug. ]

I’m just saying.

[ Obi-Wan sighs. ]

Yes. Well, nevertheless. We would like to offer our services to the public. We’ve been trained in negotiation, trade and, yes, the art of a good fight. If you need support or bereft of someone to help you . . . then we’re happy to serve.

And blowing things up. We’re good at that too!

[ Obi-Wan looks skyward as if imploring a higher deity. ]

Yes. We’re good at that too.

[ oh. uhhh. ]

Maybe . . . five years ago? Possibly six.

[ This is a Look. ]


Are you free tomorrow, barring anyone throwing themselves on your charitable offer?

[jedies]

I should be available.

[ no one seems to be battering at their doors for requests which is a pleasant change, albeit odd. obi-wan is so used to being needed, thrown into one conflict and into the next.

perhaps he's just as bad as anakin, not knowing what to do in peacetime. ]

Send me your address and be ready for eight in the morning, I'll take you out for a morning session at the spa.

[ It's more an invite than a demand but he rolls an 11 on Charisma, not awful? feels like putting on a confident face after deciding he likes Obi-Wan so far. ]

[jedies]

How can I say no to that?

[ but he texts his address quickly. ]

I leave myself in your capable hands.

would you like a log starter? c:

[halforc]

I'll see you in the morning then, and good luck with your [ three-year-older-than-most-and-kinda-mouthy ] charming apprentice.

[ With a polite nod, he signs off. ]

yes absolutely 👌👌

[jedies]

[ obi-wan shakes his head ruefully, turning back to anakin. this is a new avenue, he thinks to himself. the force will tell him where it leads. ]
