Greetings everyone. For those that I have not yet met, my name is Ben Kenobi and I am a recent arrival to this planet.

[The image is of one very calm and serene looking Jedi who is sitting cross legged in some random place around the city. He had been doing some meditating before deciding to officially make his presence known on the network for the first time.]

Now that I have settled in as well as one can, I have been considering the matter of these data points. I believe it would be useful for me use one. The question is which? That is what I’m hoping you might help me with. It seems to be an important decision.

So I am asking. Where is our community lacking? I wish to be of most use to everyone here. So I’m hoping you might give me feedback so that I can make a decision accordingly. How can I contribute best to our little society? Do we need medics? Pilots? Or something else? Please do let me know what you think.

[Text? Okay then. He can oblige.]

My dear Tony, what could possibly make you jealous of me?

[in_extremis]

[Tony has his proclivities.]

Your beard, for starters, but that's not what I meant. Unless that's what you want to get into. I'm flexible.

[hadthehighground]

Are we starting a list now?

Though I’ll take that as a compliment. You have a fine beard yourself, you know.

[in_extremis]

I do know, but it's always nice to be reminded.

I don't think I know enough about you to have a list, but I guess I can put that confidence on there now.

Who's advice were you hoping to get, that you think is going to be better than mine? It's okay, you can tell me, I can keep a secret. [On a public network, clearly.]

[hadthehighground]

[Sure Tony. He’s not sure he would buy that even if it wasn’t public.]

I think Wanda is a very insightful person. Tommy also seems to have no problem sharing his opinions.

Thus I suppose the real question is, what makes your opinion so valuable? You have yet to even give it.

[in_extremis]

Yeah, she can really get in your head.

Now you don't even remember? I've had more thoughtful hookups. Quick, what colour are my eyes?

[hadthehighground]

I remember someone rather stubbornly not taking my advice.

Blue.

[in_extremis]

How ungrateful, he sounds like a nightmare, you should stop hanging out with him.

Was that a guess? Don't answer that. Why not the hospital?

[hadthehighground]

Perhaps I shall heed your wisdom.

I am seriously considering it. Though I’m also wondering how useful it would be if patients refuse to be treated.

[in_extremis]

That's not fair. I was treated. Some people have allergies to account for, you have to be ready to adapt.

[hadthehighground]

Well, I see no reason not to use something that has proven effective.

You only need to have an open mind.

[in_extremis]

Proven to you. You might be cute, but I'm not that easy.

Don't ask anyone else about that claim, my lawyer isn't here.

[hadthehighground]

That sounds like a challenge.

So my friend, what would it take to prove myself and my abilities?

[in_extremis]

Have you met Reeve yet? You'd like him.

Usually, someone has to lead with some good numbers, projected market value, six month returns, a big one is always going to get my attention. Or a cup of coffee.

[hadthehighground]

I have, and I do.

And I would be happy to give you my statistics but I seem to have left them in my other robe. I suppose coffee will have to do? Though I’m not certain what that even is.

[in_extremis]

It's alright, I'll get you first, we'll come back around to you trying to prove something to me. We'll go to the Deep End some time, see if Cayde can hook us up.

[hadthehighground]

Is that the name of the bar? It's rather apt, isn't it?

[in_extremis]

He's a clever humanoid, but could use the help advertising. What's your art like?

[hadthehighground]

My art? I'm not sure what you mean.

[in_extremis]

You seem to have many talents, I didn't know what parameters I was working with. Art, you know, painting, or whatever. Do you have art where you come from?

[hadthehighground]

Of course, though I'm not really an artist unless you count swordsmanship.

[in_extremis]

God, that's pretentious. You're adorable.

Let me know when you've figured out that I'm right. Billy asked for a few things around the hospital, I don't want to encroach on your space.

[hadthehighground]

Oh I intend to have a conversation with Billy soon enough. Not to worry, I’ll give you the full report.
