Happy New All Skate!
"You know what, let's have a party."
Dinah threw her platinum card (thanks, Oracle) on the Bar and as a result there is free flowing champagne for everyone whose culture, age and religion permits champagne - and top quality soft alternatives for the rest. There are bar snacks doing the rounds around the tables, and delicate winter flower arrangements on each surface.
And most importantly, on the TV screen is a lot of dancing, a giant countdown, and a big ball ready to drop.
...and when the ball drops, something happens.
Welcome to another Milliways All-Skate!
All welcome - yes, that means all. Whether they're retired, deleted, AU, original or already being played by someone else, bring 'em along.
Usual all-skate rules apply:
1. Everyone's stressed out of their mind right now, so have fun!
2. Communication is key.
3. Gratuitous behaviour (either of a violent or sexual nature) will not be tolerated in the bar proper. Take that to an OOM, and then Content Warning the hell out of it before you link it.
4. Much like Vegas, what happens in All Skates, stays in All Skates (in most cases)
5. Please don't be a dick.

Re: Age 19 or so
Re: Age 19 or so
Warlock doesn't so much flag down a waitrat as let it be known, generally, that Charles doesn't have a drink, and one brings it to him.
"Earth years, right?"
Re: Age 19 or so
Re: Age 19 or so
Re: Age 19 or so
The robes remind Charles a little of pictures he's seen from India.
Re: Age 19 or so
Warlock tilts his head, getting a feeling of recognition, but not much beyond that. But as he's pretty sure he's talking to a fellow here, he asks: "where have you seen them before?"
Re: Age 19 or so
Then he takes a breath, this is still a strange thing to say aloud, "Are you a telepath too?"
Re: Age 19 or so
"I'm a Jedi," which he appreciates also doesn't translate. "I, er, I can sense the shape of your thoughts. Feelings are stronger."
Re: Age 19 or so
There must be if they have a temple unless its a small one and they're hiding out from the world like the stories of the monks in the Himalayas.
Re: Age 19 or so
Which isn't many if you have literally millions of brothers.
"I think some mmasters can do that? I'm not really gifted at that side of it. I'm better at moving stuff."
Re: Age 19 or so
And it never works, it would be so useful, but to think of thousands of people who can also read minds. He could learn so much.
Re: Age 19 or so
Realising that's going to raise more questions than it answers, he drops his habitual sheild enough to offer a thought out to Charles, Can you feel me do this?
He reaches out a hand to the nearest table and summons a plate of onion rings, which he then offers over.
Re: Age 19 or so
When Warlock summons the onion rings, Charles grins while he takes one, "Thanks."
Re: Age 19 or so
Re: Age 19 or so
That could be something like what allows Charles to read minds and Raven to shapeshift. He knows there's new science in the world, but Warlock's also clearly from somewhere else with different rules. Though they might be similar enough to be helpful.
Re: Age 19 or so
"Do you know what a clone is?"
It's always a good place to start.
Re: Age 19 or so
Charles wants to ask more about the Force but he also wants to know about clones, that at least has as scientific bases that he understands.
Re: Age 19 or so
He gives Charles a thought again, the mental image of thousands of exact replicas of Warlock, first back on Kamino where they're all the same age, then a snapshot of ranks of full grown men in identical helmets, seen from a vantage point of above in a transport ship.
"But I'm the only one who's also a Jedi."
Re: Age 19 or so
Re: Age 19 or so
"Yeah," he says. "That's why I was made."
Re: Age 19 or so
And then before that there was the Great War, both of them left a lot of scars and pain.
Re: Age 19 or so
"And yeah, I wasn't made two years ago. It was just expected that a war was coming and the clones would be needed."
Re: Age 19 or so
Re: Age 19 or so
Again, because it's easier to show than explain, he offers an image of Asajj Ventress, two red lightsabers flashing, in a duel in which Warlock was luckily to escape with his life.
Re: Age 19 or so
Charles sees his telepathy as part of him, the Force seems to work another way.
