My name is Anakin Skywalker. I am a Jedi Knight from the Galactic Republic. I'm sure that doesn't mean anything to most of you, but I'm hoping it means something to someone out there.

[He looks a little tense as he doesn't appreciate being separated from everyone he knows]

I'm looking for two people: Senator Padme Amidala, and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Both of them are good friends of mine and I'd appreciate finding them as soon as possible.

If you want, just shout "Cato Neimoida does count" into a group of people and if a bearded man comes to contest it let him know that Anakin is looking for him. That phrase should be enough to draw him out of hiding, provided he's around here somewhere.

Concise, to the point, and with a dash of irresistible mystery. Not bad.

[ignitethestars]

I tried to make it as simple as possible. So that it'd be quicker in the long run.

[insertdadjoke]

What, no questions or demands to be returned home immediately? Color me surprised.

Anyway, someone named Obi-Wan is here and I'd like to say it's probably your guy but who the hell knows with how this place works.

This is not the first time I have ended up in a strange situation.

[And he might have already broken something earlier in frustration. Shh.]

Even if it's not, I'd like to speak with him. Do you know where you saw him last?

[insertdadjoke]

Around. Fire Sector or so, but you probably want to check the Midnight Hotel first. Shortcut and a place with more information in one.

[ It's also where Cain is right now, shhh. ]

I'm so sorry about her

[lasergrenades]

Oh my god.

[OH MY GOD THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Pepper is, to say the least, excited. And Anakin Skywalker of all people? Holy crap.]

Uh. Sorry. Hi. Wow. You're here. That's a thing.

[She realizes she's staring and clears her throat.]

Ahem. Obi-Wan is here, I think he might be staying at the Hotel but he might be going into Hatal which is the city we're next to - by the way we're beached on Tavimbi, that's the other continent - and now we have two Jedi this is so cool!

[ignitethestars]

I take it you've heard of me?

[It's okay, he's used to fans back home. He's just going to assume she's from his world and has heard of his adventures.]

-- And thank you. I now have two places to look which is much more than I had before. Hopefully he'll be in one of them.

[lasergrenades]

'Heard of you' might be a mega giant understatement.

[You're a meme, Anakin. That's how famous you are.]

You're, uh, welcome. [Pepper just got thanked by Anakin Skywalker - she can die happy or something.] Aren't you guys supposed to be able to sense each other or whatever? Or are you still inside that twenty-four hour period where nothing works?

My abilities are a bit finicky at the moment. Normally I would be able to, yes. But I wasn't sure how much I've been affected here.

[Mostly. Unless he's like on another planet or something.]

[lasergrenades]

Oh, well, they'll probably be back to normal in a few hours - usually people with powers lose them for the first day and then everything comes back and it's totally okay.

[Anakin Skywalker being back to full strength is both awesome and rather terrifying.]

I'm sorry to say I don't know either of those people, but... what does "Cato Neimoida" mean, if I may ask? You've made me curious.

video;

[ignitethestars]

Ah, it's a planet. Obi-Wan got himself into a bit of trouble there once.

video;

[pompous_today]

Ah, I see- and he doesn't like to be reminded of it, I gather. I've never heard of that planet before myself...

video;

[ignitethestars]

He really doesn't like to be reminded of what happened. He finds it ... embarrassing.

video;

[pompous_today]

Then hopefully nobody will need to resort to catching his attention that way.

[problematical]

"Cato Neimoida"?

video;

[ignitethestars]

Ah, it's a planet. Colonized by the Neimoidians.

They're kinda a greenish people.

Re: video;

[problematical]

Why are they green?

[ As if they choose to be that way, River... ]

video;

[ignitethestars]

I ... don't know actually. I've never bothered to ask any of them.

Re: video;

[problematical]

[ To be fair, what River considers a viable line of questioning, most people wouldn't. ]

What did you talk to them about?

[looksfine]

You recommend we proclaim a phrase that would deliberately agitate an ally of yours?

[...she's not criticizing or protesting the idea. If anything, the slight upward twitch of her lips proved that Aya was...amused at the notion.]

video

[ignitethestars]

More like irritate him. Mildly annoy. He won't be too upset, I assure you.

video

[looksfine]

[Yup. Definitely reminded her so very much of Hal Jordan and Kilowog that, for a fleeting moment, she felt a wave of homesickness for the Interceptor.]

It has been my understanding that such forms of joking among male colleagues, regardless of the species involved, are most effective when enacted personally between the two. Rather than communicated through an unknown third party.

video

[ignitethestars]

I ... suppose you are not completely wrong. But I need to find him before we can joke around.

video

[looksfine]

This is also true.

[Difficult to argue with that kind of logic. It was only a shame that she wouldn't encounter Obi-Wan herself until a few days later.]

I do not recognize his or the other name you mentioned at this time. However, there is still a possibility that they have arrived separately from you. Have you familiarized yourself with the basic layout of the city yet?
