[hadthehighground]

WHO: Obi-Wan Kenobi and YOU
WHERE: Various locations around Temba
WHAT: Jedi doing Jedi things.
WHEN: During the V-Day Mini Event
WARNINGS: Grumpiness probably


Waking up on his bunk in the Twin Roses one morning came with a surprise. A random pink mothcat plushie having been left for him at the end of his bed with a little card. The Jedi is confused as he has no idea what this is even about, and hasn't yet seen one of these creatures to boot. Even so, he leaves the plush on his bed before going out to do his thing.

A breakfast of food paste stuff and then morning meditation. Except... that's when the confetti starts. Obi-Wan finding himself covered in glitter and confetti and disturbed by any confusion and chatter regarding the stuff in the ship. Where is it even coming from?! Dusting it off, only to get covered with more, the annoyed Jedi leaves the ship only to find that it's happening outside as well.

He is not feeling the love.

Trying to escape the glitter, which is futile, he also attempts to find a place to meditate in peace. He can be found in varying locations, usually initially appearing as a sparkly mound as sitting and being still gets him covered in the glittery stuff raining down on everyone. Though every time someone talks to him or disturbs him in some way, he ends up moving somewhere else.

Ultimately he ends up on top of Cayde's tower. How did he get up there?! It's a mystery. Either way, he's sitting up there, trying to get away from it all and calm his mind.

It's proving very difficult as this ridiculous glitter keeps falling.

Come meditate with him or bother him. The choice is yours.

"He sure sounded like it." Echo sort of understood being resigned, but this was on another level. "He hasn't shown any outward changes, however, and he's acting the same as he normally does. No one else seems to be alarmed if they know about his condition, anyway."

[hadthehighground]

"From what I gathered, he regrets some of the consequences. Not the decisions themselves." Which, in a way, Obi-Wan could somewhat relate to. Though much of it was still somewhat difficult for her to comprehend.

"He doesn't exactly come off as a threatening person. Far from it. If I didn't feel it coming from him, I might feel the same way. He was at least considerate enough to warn me of what he's capable of, and that is respectable in itself. Though I have to wonder if there is any risk of him... not being entirely control of himself. In which case, he could pose a significant threat."

What is said is agreed to, a quiet nod in regards to Jon's show of regret and not being an active threat to everyone living in Temba. Yet his shoulders square for a brief second, remembering he's having a 'normal' discussion with the Jedi instead of one involving a war at large.

The remaining bits of glitter rain down in the meantime. "Continue as is and keep a watchful eye, maybe?"

[hadthehighground]

The glitter was getting old. And Obi-Wan brushed some more of it off him as he nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, I think that would be the best course of action. It's best to be aware just in case. In the event that sometime does happen."

Hopefully it wouldn't and they could all live peacefully. After all, they were all stuck here. Getting along was in everyone's best interest.

A 'yes sir' would have been appropriate here, but Echo refrained, stiffly nodding since they were definitely on the same page and nothing further needed to be discussed.

Jon was a good person, and he'd hate to have to deal with a 'just in case' scenario if it came down to it.

After another long pause, the clone's head tilted. "That aside and hopefully remaining a theoretical event, I feel I should apologize for interrupting. I won't take up any more of your time."

[hadthehighground]

“There is no need to apologize, Echo. Though I admit I do have some things I need to work out on my own.”

He gave the clone a reassuring look as he didn’t want the man to think he couldn’t approach him. But perhaps it was time to cut the conversation short. He was having difficulty finding focus with all of the interruptions. It was a good talk though, and he too hoped the subject remained theoretical.
