[ 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.

... It's definitely not your fault.

The incidents with Majestas just.. Got to me. And I realize, you may not know that name.

In short, he was some kind of lion-headed... Thing, I'd class him as Abberration-type but that's a thing specific to my world. Among other things, people who looked into his true eyes, even through broadcasts, either were locked into nightmares of their own worst moments... Or fell under his control, becoming pride-ruled servants of a mysterious 'goddess'.

I was the second category. I remember every second of it, and... Yeah. It's a lot easier for others to forgive me than for me to forgive myself.

[jedies]

Oh, I'm familiar with Majestas.

[ especially with the chaos of the last month, when many of them were under its control. obi-wan came perilously close to that. ]

Perhaps instead of forgiveness, you should let it go. There's nothing you could have done to overthrow his control.

[have_hat_will_travel]

You faced off against him, too, then?

[jedies]

Briefly, but yes.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... I wish I hadn't been one of those fighting on his side, but that power... Urgh.

I'll never look at angels the same way again.

[jedies]

Angels aren't common where I'm from but we're familiar.

[ he shakes his head. ]

And they're meant to be much nicer.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yeah. Doesn't mean I want to be one, especially not one casually fighting to destroy people and bring pain. Not very Good acts.

[SOmething about the way she emphasizes Good... Huh.]

[jedies]

I've always found that good means in the service of a higher ideal instead of yourself.

At any rate, it was clear that none of the angels were in control.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Which probably says something very different.

And... Higher ideals, huh? That's definitely something I'll need to think about...

[jedies]

[ a weird thing to say, but people are different here. ]

I'm sure you'll come to your own conclusions.

[have_hat_will_travel]

And I can only hope they're as good as they need to be.

Thank you - I didn't mean to take up this much of your time with my own issues.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan shakes his head warmly. ]

You certainly did not.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... A-anyways. There sadly is likely to be plenty of future conflicts, and... Well. Practice is sadly important, if you are interested in sparring in the future?

[jedies]

Of course. I am an excellent sparring partner.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I look forward to the opportunity, as time allows...
