Video & Action for anyone at the apartment
[Winry had been laying in bed, feeling defeated and alone, unable to really do much of anything, at least not anything she wanted to do, but within a spilt-second that feeling had changed. She had no idea what exactly happened, but within a moment her thoughts of only the queen changed and everything she had done or said or didn't feel was slowly sinking in.

It was enough to cause the young woman to sit up in bed, hands gently pressed up against her cheek as tears fell down her face. It was the thought of how she didn't seem to care for her friends that was slowly become a realization. She felt awful about it. Moving to wipe the tears away from her eyes she reached over to pick up the device, fingers paused over the button to record. Should she say something or should she just get to work? She knew what she was like as she soon pressed the button, the feed switching on. Her lips not giving off the usual smile instead a small frown was upon them, the tears that had fallen were still present as she wiped them away again before speaking.]

Hey, uh... Sorry, it's been a while. [She paused for a moment, giving off a hint of a smile for a moment.] I'm back to normal as you can tell and I want to apologize to my friends for potentially worrying them during the time I was gone and the time after I was found. I feel awful about what happened.

[That was the important part out of the way. She was pausing over her next few words.]

I also want to just say something. Back home I was told something very important that I still believe in. But at the same time, this whole situation has also shown me that I can't handle myself necessarily in a tough situation. [She looked away slightly.] So I guess I'm asking if there are ways I can defend myself should I need to without harming anyone? At least to not worry people as much over if I am going to be hurt or kidnapped or something.

[She looked back she had at least stopped crying for the moment, looking slightly more determined.]

I would be grateful for the help. [With that she switches off the device before putting it down to the side and moving to get off the bed. She figured she was behind on work at the hospital and so was planning on heading there and maybe pull a few overnighters.]

Action
[Winry had grabbed her travel case as well as some food, water, and essentials for the long work day she was planning on making herself do. She figured she was behind and she also guessed it would be the safe bet as well for the time being. Sure she was back to her emotion-filled self, but she had started to worry about if there was a possibility that it could happen again and the thought clouded her mind as she started to walk out the apartment complex and started to make her way over to the hospital.]

The following rumors are going around as NPC gossip. Your characters are welcome to hear them. The rumors may be true or false, and the subject of the rumor is randomly selected from the taken list. If a character shares the same first name with another character, we will not specify which one it is.

This week's rumors are:

1. Namur tried to go vegan once. It didn't take, but his idealistic heart still believes it's the right thing to do to protect the animals of the world.

2. Catelyn secretly keeps a hit list under her pillow at night.

3. Otonoshin once hacked a guy's legs off for a bit.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A VISIBLE POST TO CHARACTERS. IT IS JUST WHAT THEY MAY HEAR GOING AROUND AS CHATTER AROUND THE CITIES.

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.

Excuse me.

I have a small request I would like to make, if anyone is willing to render assistance.

As things stand right now, I'm somewhat er... incapable of moving about the more crowded sections of this world without a significant amount of difficulty.

I'd really prefer not damaging anything.

While I do have the means of creating a more suitable shape, in a sense, for getting around, I'm afraid I'm lacking in the correct tools, and I don't believe I can accomplish the appropriate upgrades on my own. The sections that require the most work are far too small and delicate for me to attend to myself...

If anyone here is accomplished in the area of robotics, engineering and general repair-

[He'd ask for a medic but he's got a pretty strong feeling that there's no Cybertronian medics here]

I would be willing to offer payment for your services.
