May the Fourth Be With The All Skate
The bar shifts, or it changed when no one was looking, and now resembles a certain cantina popular with the villainy and scum, as well as more upstanding folks. The air is dryer than usual, and a taste of grit and sand just hangs in the air. It just makes you want some blue milk doesn't it?
Has your character changed? Perhaps...who can tell? The Landlord I suppose but they aren't talking.
[ooc: HI and Welcome to a Star Wars themed All Skate, the best way to celebrate May the Fourth! Party style post. You do not have to interact with any of my characters to play.
The Rules are simple:
- This post, and any post with the subject heading ALL SKATE are open to everyone.
That means old characters, new characters, retired characters, doubles of characters, original characters, non-canon compliant characters.
- We will all play nice and adhere to Wheaton's Law: Don't be a dick.
- Gratuitous behavior, either of a violent or sexual nature, will not be tolerated in the Comm. Take that to an OOM, and then Content Warning the hell out of it before you link it.
- Communication is paramount. Everyone's keyed up, let's just have some fun.]

What else would collecting be? It's better than Alec using some of the stuff he's picked up.
"It depends on your definition of artifact. Lightsabers are one of the defining items of your universe. That, the Force and..." And he's not saying Darth Vader and Death Stars. "A few other things. Show a lightsaber to a universe hopper who has visited your universe they will know exactly what universe you're talking about. It's the like the one of the few things that if you removed it would completely change your history. Making it into something completely different. It's what makes you you."
This is Alec being a very weird Historian.

"As for that other part; I know that. Which is why it's been hard for me to find one that a Jedi, or really any owner, has intentionally discarded. One that they've tossed into a stormy ocean, for example, to give up what it means to them. To give up that reminder of that part of their life, not wanting anyone to know about it. Not want the memory of its existence. One they would destroy rather than let it exist."
Hmm... Oceans...
"Taking one from a Jedi who just dies or accidentally loses it doesn't work because they still wanted it. It's still theirs, still has that bit of soul. Even if it does fall into the ocean to be lost forever."

He's mollified, but not happy. Mostly because he doesn't want to start an argument in Bar. But he's *definitely* going to be keeping a better eye out when he gets home for smugglers trading in Lightsabers.
"And I suppose asking you not to isn't going to work, is it?"
no subject
He tilts his head up for a moment thinking of a good answer to that question. Because, no, asking him not to isn't really going to work. It'd be like asking the sun not to be hot. But, he does like Kenobi.
Maybe a compromise?
"What about myself? Can I steal from myself?"
no subject
And how, Obi-Wan would like to know, is that going to work?
no subject
Look. He's everywhere. And everywhen. At some point. Like a bad credit.
no subject
He's not being hypothetical.
"...that's a very specific circumstance."

"A version of myself exists in every possible universe. The tricky part is finding that version of myself because universes exist for quite a long time," he said and tapped his finger rapidly on the table. "I'm... have you run into the Father, Brother and Sister yet?"

And not some weird outer rim religious thing.

They're not a weird out rim religious thing.
"Right. So. You know how the Force is ... sort of alive? And in every living thing?"
And we're not talking Midichloreans or whatever.

Hello, Jedi Knight.

"You've got the Force, dark side and light side, all the living things. And like the Force having a dark and light side, the Force itself has its own opposite. Something that's ... not life," he said. "Now, that other half of the Force can't exist fully in life, but it can a little bit. Just like there's a little bit of light and dark in everyone. There are no absolutes.
"I'm that... not life... and there's a bit of me in every universe. Because of that, there's a me in your universe. But finding it is like trying to find a black grain of sand in a beach. So, I find that one and just... wait."
Which, now that he thinks about it, was probably far too much information.
"And that was far too much of an explanation and I'm sorry about it."
no subject
"No no," Obi-Wan says quickly, "Why would you think that's too much?"
no subject
He's aware of these faults.
no subject
Some people really aren't.
no subject
He learned. It took him ... a very long while... but he learned.
