[ 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.

Honestly? Almost monthly. There are some months when nothing happens, but they're really the exception that proves the rule.

[starsignited]

I guess Obi-Wan I will be staying busy then. And here I thought we'd get a vacation.

[That last part? He's mostly joking]

[bubbleblaster]

[ Aqua can't help but giggle a little at the vacation comment. ]

If only. From what I can tell, a lot of us who've been brought here could really use one of those.

[ She certainly could. Not that she would ever actually take one, but that really only proves the point, doesn't it?]

[starsignited]

It certainly seems that way, though I don't think Obi-Wan even understands the concept of vacation.

[bubbleblaster]

I'm sure that if you talked to any of my friends from back home who are here, they'd probably say the same thing about me.

[starsignited]

Does that mean you're the no-fun-allowed constantly doing something productive type?

Perhaps a little grumpy too?

[bubbleblaster]

... No?

[Actually, yes, kinda. ]

[starsignited]

So you're the fun get into trouble type?

[bubbleblaster]

... Okay, the first thing is more true than the second.

[ She was usually trying to get other people out of trouble, after all.]

[starsignited]

Nothing wrong with that. It's always a good idea to have at least one voice of reason around.

[That voice is usually not Anakin]

[bubbleblaster]

Yeah. I'm well aware of that.

[ Terra and Ven weren't usually all that bad, considering everything, but still.]

[starsignited]

I can absolutely guarantee that I'm probably not the voice of reason in most situations.

[bubbleblaster]

I'm surprised to hear you say that. There aren't really a lot of people who'd admit to not being a "voice of reason".

[starsignited]

There's no reason to deny it. Everyone who knows me knows otherwise. I'm the spontaneous one who gets things done.

[bubbleblaster]

... Do these things you get done also involve causing other problems at least half of the time?
