A Jedi Comes Calling [Closed]

[hadthehighground]

WHO: Obi-Wan and Jon
WHERE: The Library
WHAT: A conversation
WHEN: Early July
WARNINGS: Likely disturbing topics of discussion.


Every time that Obi-Wan talked to Jon, more and more disturbing things tended to get mentioned. About his life, his world, his everything. It left the Jedi very concerned for the man. He seemed like a nice enough fellow, even if the things he felt coming from him were a bit repulsive to his light sided nature. However, the last time they spoke, Obi-Wan felt like Jon needed a friend. And while he wouldn't admit it, Obi-Wan needed one himself, and felt like perhaps they could relate to each other in some ways. It's not that Jon was alone necessarily, as he had Tony and such, but the Jedi still felt like the fellow needed something a bit more.

So with a simple message being sent to Jon that he was coming, Obi-Wan made his way to the Library. It wasn't far, so he didn't bother riding Boga. But he did bring a few things with him, namely to make some tea with. It took him a few minutes to get there by foot, but eventually he was walking into the building.

"Jon? Are you here?" The Jedi calling out for the man he had come to see. He could feel his presence, but the library was a big place so who knows where he was exactly.

Pouring the tea for Jon, Obi-Wan is mildly intrigued. “No formal written language? That’s not impossible but it is peculiar. I suppose that explains why they struggle with it when communicating with us.” Most species in his galaxy had some form of written language, but certainly not all of them.

“There’s artifacts of course, which I’ve gathered together and started sorting when I have the time. But beside that the place feels… different. Particularly the tall building in the courtyard that I’ve affectionately called ‘The Spire’. There’s an echo of pleasant memories there. As well as… it’s difficult to explain but… it’s not entirely unlike what is at the temple on Coruscant. It almost feels like a vergence. A well spring of energy that runs below the site.”

"...an echo of pleasant memories..." Jon repeats thoughtfully, tea between his hands. "Cal has spoken of those echoes before, but- He didn't mention ever come across any nice ones." Though it's a welcome surprise that not every trace of the past in this place is dreadful.

"Though I wonder what artifacts you were able to uncover?"

“Ah, you mean his experience in those caves,” Obi-Wan says solemnly. Cal had told him a bit about that. He hasn’t ventured into the caves himself as he didn’t wish that to happen to him too.

“Only pieces of things.” Which was unfortunate since it seemed the museum and its treasures were all either destroyed or taken away before they got there.

“Bones, pottery shards, and the like.”

"I see. So it was very much like the library. The shelves were empty and any data point shattered to pieces." They had tried to gather the bigger pieces and try to recreate at least one of these smaller data points, but it hadn't quite worked out, unfortunately.

Upon hearing Obi-Wan mention the caves, Jon grimaces a little. "The caves, yes." Jon nods and his expression darkens. "I went to them some time later myself, believing they wouldn't affect me, but-" He trails off, then shakes his head. "I was lucky I didn't go alone. Just as Cal was to have BD-1 with him."

It was lucky. In both cases.

"Something in there- It affects any... Powers we might have. Turns them up to eleven. It's not a place either of us should be going alone - Or at all."

"Any powers then," Obi-Wan said with a thoughtful frown. So then really only those without some sort of ability could go in there safely. He has to wonder what it could be.

"If that's the case, then yes I would agree." It sounded like it was too risky. If both Cal and Jon had an ordeal in those caves, that couldn't be a coincidence. The warning was well heeded.
