May the Fourth Be With The All Skate

[jedi_interrupted]

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.]

Look, short Cody ordering his regiment to turn on the general, and somehow Anakin and Ahsoka not at his side, Obi-Wan really doesn't consider himself at that much of a risk.

Still...

"Calm down, little one."

This is why he has such a hard time with droids. You can't just mind-trick them into cooling their sockets.

"Explain from the beginning."

[bestbuddydroid]

Hah. Hah. Funny you should think that...

And really, Obi-Wan. You can't mind trick everyone to make your life easier.

Still, the droid calms down and thinks. He only really knows bits and pieces of it from what he's heard from Cal and Cere having been on Bogano for all of Order 66.

"Beep boop bop beep bop. Beep. Biip blip boop beboop bop bheep bip bip bleep boop. Bo boooot beep bop whoo beep beep beedoh. Beep beep booop bop bop beep bleep bop."

There was the war. And the nice troopers. And then the nice Troopers became bad killing almost all the Jedi. Now there's the Empire, which is bad, and they have Inquisitors. Which hunt Jedi.

[acertainpov]

No... no that doesn't make sense. Not because Obi-Wan's idealistic or naive, but because there is literally no way for clone troopers to rebel like that. Their loyalty is ingrained in their training from the very beginning, and anyway, Obi knows Cody like a friend. More than he knows Anakin in some ways.

No. This must be another group of 'troopers' and another war.

"I think you must be from the future, my friend. None of this is part of my time."

[bestbuddydroid]

And the little droid knows nothing about clone troopers and how they're programed to be Loyal. He just knows they were nice and then they weren't. And couldn't tell the difference between a storm trooper and a clone trooper if his programing depended on it. Well, their uniforms are different and all but... 'people in white armor and trying to kill you' fits both descriptions.

So, alas, he can't correct Obi-Wan.

He tilts his head here.

"Beep bop boop?"

What does he mean about 'future'?

[acertainpov]

And so the Galaxy marches on to impending tragedy.

Obi-Wan relaxes - a little, because he wasn't exactly worried anyway, just thoughtful.

"Oh you haven't noticed?" He gestures vaguely, all around. "Here you can meet people not just from all over the Galaxy, but all over time itself. Time and space mean nothing in this place."

[bestbuddydroid]

He looks around and sees people, which just registered as people because the galaxy is a very big place and there's lots of different people so how was he supposed to know that these weren't people from his galaxy? Even well traveled people haven't seen all the different species that there are. Why would a little droid?

But... if he is from the Future then Obi-Wan should listen to him! Maybe show pictures?

"Beep bop bop boop beep beep. Bop boop."

These are the bad people. The trooper and the Inquisitor.

He projects a hologram of a Storm Trooper aiming a blaster at him and then of Second Sister - helmet on - and red double bladed lightsaber slashing towards them. It's a weird saber, what with that round central piece. But still obviously not a nice thing.

"Boop beep bop boop. Beep peep beep."

You need to avoid them. They'll try to kill you.

[acertainpov]

The droid doesn't quite seem to get that he's obviously way in the future form Obi-Wan, but Obi-Wan will indulge.

The trooper armour, fortunately isn't recognisable as clone armour, though it's similar enough to give him pause... as is the symbol on the sith's (because that's obviously what she is) armour.

His frown is genuine, but still not worried for himself.

"I'll look for them, I promise."

[bestbuddydroid]

Obi-wan just said "future". That could be tomorrow. That could be three years from now that could be three thousand years from now. Or in this case about seven - eight years from now.

"Beep."

Okay.

Because if a Jedi says he promises...

And he holds up a leg as if offering it for a handshake.

[acertainpov]

Oh very well then. Obi-Wan lifts two fingers (or more, depending on scale) and confirms with a handshake.

Obi-Wan Kenobi agrees not to get killed by Sith Inquisitors or any sort of troopers. Satisfied?

[bestbuddydroid]

The foot... leg is big enough for fist bumps. So the shake is well shaken.

"Bep!"


Which can be loosely translated as "^_^".

And yes, though neither of them know this, Obi-Wan will keep his promise. Not because of anything the little droid does, but still! He keeps his promise.
