Taking it Well? [Action]

[hasmuchtolearn]

Obi-Wan didn't ever remember falling asleep. It sure didn't make any sense considering they were just about to storm the royal palace in the Naboo capital of Theed. Sleeping on the job would have not only been unacceptable, but could get him caught or worse.

Had something happened?

Regardless, it was a bit jarring to wake up in this strange place, in a pod, surrounded by water. After taking a few moments to orient himself, and look over the items that were in the box sitting on his chest, he eventually emerged. The water was shallow at least, and he meandered out of the bay only to find some sort of information hologram.

Folding his hands, he quietly and patiently listened, despite the fact that it told him most stopped listening at a certain point. He actually went through the whole thing. As the necklace was mentioned, he took a glance at it before fastening it to his belt so that it dangled in plain view. The red bills and the strange device were tucked away while he also took one of the mentioned maps.

It was a lot to take in, certainly. Kidnapped? The questions of how and why floated through his mind, but they were not really immediately important as he was here and that was that. As his master would say, an opportunity would present itself. He just had to be patient. Still, he had the feeling he could be stuck here a very long time. At the very least, it was better than Tatooine from the looks of it. As far as the Force, he could sense all the life, and some beings stuck out here and there. However, none of them felt at all familiar. His master was most certainly not here.

Now to just scope things out. Thus there would be one young man, dressed in robes with a long braid resting on his shoulder, walking through Genessia City. Getting a feeling for the place and essentially just looking around, looking as calm as he could be.

Whatever errand had brought Anakin to Genessia city, he was currently there, going about his business as had become oddly normal for him by now.

He was just marking off points from a list on his communication device when he sensed something in the Force and looked up just in time to prevent literally running into a strangely familiar face. Strangely familiar and yet... Unusualyoung.

Anakin stopped short just in time, bringing a hand up just in case to prevent a potential collision and look positively surprised.

“Obi-Wan?!”

This... was unexpected.

[hasmuchtolearn]

Obi-Wan was fortunately paying more attention than Anakin, and had moved to sidestep a split second just before the other man had stopped short. Intending to go past him, until... he said his name.

This earned Anakin a very confused look as the young Jedi looked him up and down. Not a bit of recognition coming to him.

"Do I know you?"

[actualhumandisaster]

Anakin took in the sight in front ignored him and couldn’t exactly hide the grin from his face as he shook his head in a pearly bemused fashion “I’m actually not sure if you do yet. This place sure loves to draw us all in from the most different moments in time!”

He then took a step back to properly extend a hand in greeting “I’m Anakin Skywalker. Jedi Knight. And I haven’t seen you without a beard for over a decade - Or wearing a Padawan braid.”

[hasmuchtolearn]

As the other man spoke, Obi-Wan could only look at him incredulously. Looking at the hand that was offered him, and then looking back up at his face. The amused grin didn't exactly help matters either.

"If this is a joke, I'm not laughing.

[actualhumandisaster]

"No, of course you're not." Anakin replied, still grinning, but also raising his hand up to pat the Padawan's shoulder "You've always been very serious when you were younger."

Not that Obi-Wan wasn't generally a serious man.

He chose to offer more of an explanation "Anyway. In case this hasn't happened to you yet: We're going to meet on Tatooine. That was fourteen years ago for me. This planet is just... It's a little funny if it comes to timelines."

[snippings]

She was finally starting to feel settled in. She had moved in with Anakin and Padmé, she had a job, and she sorta understood how things worked around here. Of course, she hadn't really made up for her previous introduction just yet, but she was holding off on that for now since she had Anakin's sudden revelation to deal with. With all these thoughts buzzing around in her head, she passed by the younger, but still older, Jedi without even thinking about it.

But then it started to click. Ahsoka turned around quickly, calling after him.

"Master Obi-Wan!"

Even in that split second, she had seen enough to get a general idea, considering the other things this place had thrown at her.

"You- You're- You... shaved!"

[hasmuchtolearn]

Obi-Wan had also walked past the young Togruta without even thinking about it. After all, it was not a strange thing where he was from. He knew a few Togruta, and had even been introduced to Master Shaak Ti.

What he didn't expect was for his name to be called out, and in the way it was. Turning around, he looked back, clearly puzzled. Master? Shaved?

"I beg your pardon?"

[snippings]

Why that had been what she started with? Because she didn’t want to say hey, all the Jedi are gone and I don’t even know what happened to you? Right. That was a conversation for another day.

“I’m- okay, this is gonna sound really weird so you just have to trust me. My name is Ahsoka Tano. I’m- or I was the padawan learner of Anakin Skywalker. Aaaand I don’t even know if you know who that is. Time is weird here. Basically, I know you. We... we fought alongside each other. And you taught me a lot too. But that’s probably overwhelming already so let’s just stop there before I embarrass myself more?”

[hasmuchtolearn]

There was a long pause as Obi-Wan just stared at her. Because none of that made a bit of sense.

"That hologram didn't mention hallucinations."

[randallboggs]

Here comes along an unfamiliar alien, looking a little lost and so not paying strict attention to where he's walking.

"How am I back here...?" He grumbles to himself. "I thought it was a left not a right..."

He may inadvertently bump into Obi-Wan as he makes a turn.

[hasmuchtolearn]

He may not be familiar, but its still not exactly shocking as he's seen many strange aliens not too unlike Randall.

So when he comes around the corner, Obi-Wan is alerted through the Force that someone is coming his way, and steps aside to keep him from completely slamming into him.

"Excuse me."

His voice polite despite the fact that its the lizard guy who should be paying attention.

[randallboggs]

Randall halts abruptly, startled.

"Oh, hey. I don't suppose you know the way to Everglade?"

[hasmuchtolearn]

"Not offhand, but I do have a map here."

Of which, Obi-Wan pulls out and takes a glance at it.

"According to this, it's to the west. Which would be..."

And he takes a look around for a moment, before nodding his head in a certain direction.

"That way, if I'm not mistaken. Maple avenue should get you there. Which was just a couple blocks south of here."

Aren't you glad you found such a helpful human, Randall?

[didthemath]

Khadgar has also, similarly, been "scoping the place out", though his idea of doing so is flying over the city in the raven form afforded him by his staff, which used to belong to his mentor. Still, when he saw the man in flowing robes, his first thought was a fellow mage and he might actually be right about that in a certain respect. He's come to realize fairly quickly it isn't normal around here, at least for the locals, to see a raven transform into a man, so he lands a ways away and transforms before approaching Obi-wan.

And so Obi-wan is approached by an older looking gentleman in grey-blue robes carrying a staff atop which sits the carved image of a raven, wearing a friendly smile as he holds up a gloved hand in greeting.

"Well met, Stranger. I take it you're newly arrived as well?"

[hasmuchtolearn]

Catching sight of the rather interesting looking older gentleman, who appeared to be approaching him, Obi-Wan paused. The young man returning the greeting with a polite bow.

“Hello there, and yes I am.”

It was good to know he wasn’t the only recent arrival.

“I’m Obi-Wan Kenobi, and I don’t suppose you have made any more sense of this place than I have.”

[didthemath]

Khadgar offered a jovial enough chuckle that accompanied his slightly helpless shrug well enough.

"Well, that would require I know what you've made sense of, but," he gave a look around, then back to Obi-wan, "I know the nature of reality to be fluid. This place does not discredit that fact."

He places a hand over his breast and gives a brief bow. "Archmage Khadgar. Well met, Obi-wan."

[hasmuchtolearn]

"Ah, yes, I suppose that's true. We did arrive on water."

A bit of a cheeky response but well, moving on. The bow though was returned in similar kind as Obi-Wan dipped in a traditional Jedi bow.

"Same to you, sir. Where is it that you come from?"

[blindpuppet]

Enis was on patrol when she saw the calm young man walk from the entrance of the bay. Vibrant blue eyes watched him for a second or two before she stepped forward to address him in a not creepy way. His clothes were odd, reminding her briefly of someone else she's met in Genessia, and despite his calm, she made the logical leap that he was new.

"Did you just arrive?" She knew the answer but it was better than shouting 'hey new person' at a complete stranger. Enis's social skills were very lacking but they weren't that awful.

Enis was wearing a pair of plan jeans, black boots and a navy blue corset-like top. Around her shoulders was a leather jacket though she wasn't cold. The winter chill didn't affect her as much as it might others.

[hasmuchtolearn]

For Obi-Wan, the winter chill was welcome compared to the searing heat of Tatooine that he had recently experienced. It didn’t bother him at all due to his robes that provided enough warmth. Walking from the bay after having listened to the speech from the hologram, he was only mildly surprised to hear someone calling out. The young Jedi turned to look at the young lady.

“I’m afraid so.”

He wasn’t exactly pleased about the ordeal, but he was at least accepting of the fact that he could be stuck here for awhile.

[blindpuppet]

Enis shifted her weight behind her heels before pushed her fists into the pockets of her jacket. It wasn't cold but it was a comfortable way to stand.

"Do you need help with anything?" It was a blanket question but she meant it. Enis didn't have a specific job description but she was there to help people and keep them safe. It was something good that she could do while she was here.

[hasmuchtolearn]

Did he need help with anything?

"A way out of here would be nice," he admitted, though he turned to glance back the way he came. "Supposedly that's not something anyone here can help with. The holo recording was quite informative."

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

There's something familiar about the guy but Han can't place it, probably because Ben was an old man when they met in Mos Eizley.

The robe is familiar though. Definitely another Jedi.

"You just get here? Man, this place seems to like our world. It's confusing but I guess there are worse places to get stuck. At least it's not Tatooine. Or Hoth. I never wanna see either of em again."

[hasmuchtolearn]

Suddenly approached by the strange man, Obi-Wan just blinked at him. Unsure what to make of what he said as he didn’t recognize him in the slightest.

“You know of Tatooine?”

Well he supposed that made sense then if this man is from the same galaxy. Though he had to wonder how he knew he came from there. Perhaps it was the Jedi robes.

“Well, of that I would at least have to agree.”

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

"Yeah." he nodded. "Only been there a few times, but Jabba, the sandstorms and nearly dehydrating to death was enough for me. Only reason I even made it out of there alive is because of my brother-in-law's Jedi skills. Never believed any of that stuff til I met him.

"Name's Solo...Captain Han Solo." Han figured he should give his name.

"You actually might run into the Jedi kid...well, guy... His name is Luke. He showed up a few days back."

Han kept from spilling too much. It'd only overload the guy and he didn't need that.

[hasmuchtolearn]

Obi-Wan just blinked in mild confusion as the man continued to ramble, and remembered to give his name in the middle of it.

"I see. ... I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's a pleasure, I think."
