February Catch-All
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi and YOU!
Date: All of February
Location: Keeliai and Tavimbi
Situation: Getting to know you and Landfall!
Warnings/Rating: None that I can think of?
Obi-Wan is still somewhat adjusting to things here on Keeliai. So the fact that the giant turtle makes landfall on a continent is surprising and piques his curiosity.
He can be found either wandering around the streets of Keeliai or Tavimbi. Willing to talk to just about anybody. Especially the Kedan and the Tavimbi natives.
Upon sensing a power that is not unlike the Force within Tavimbi, which he comes to know as the Xunutane, he will make checking that out his highest priority.
Feel free to find him just about anywhere!

However, as Anakin does divulge some details, Obi-Wan goes quiet for a moment. Looking upon his former apprentice with sorrow and pity.
"I'm so sorry, Anakin." His words are sincere and heartfelt. He hadn't known that he'd struggled with this. While he had never met Shmi personally, he knew that Anakin felt strongly about his mother. Something Obi-Wan couldn't entirely relate with since he'd never really known his own mother.
"Perhaps, perhaps not. No matter what happens, we have to believe it was the will of the Force. Focusing on what could have happened will only bring you more torment, and potentially lead you down a dark path."
Obi-Wan sighed quietly, hoping this his friend would see the truth in his words and find comfort.
"I wish you had told me this sooner. I do want to help you."
no subject
Obi-Wan would never trust him if he told him what happened after. But did he ever to begin with? The older Jedi stood like a tall beacon. The perfect example of a Jedi, he heard others say. Anakin knew him to be wise, and skillful. There was no one else he'd rather have at his side in battle.
But he didn't truly trust him. No one did. Were they afraid of his power? Anakin isn't sure, but he knows it's something. He feels it in the way some people look at him.
And sitting here now, with the raw emotion rippling between them, he didn't see any difference. Obi-Wan wanted honesty, but he wouldn't want to hear this next part.
"You don't know what I did," finally coming to the conclusion that he'll confess this one thing and see what happens. "I killed them, Master. I killed them all. The entire village. I slaughtered them like they were nothing. Small pieces of trash easily brushed aside. I went through the entire village and I murdered them all."
no subject
But Obi-Wan could sense that there was something more to it. Dread swept over him as he felt Anakin's conflicted feelings. But then the confession came and for several moments there hung a heavy silence. Until Obi-Wan finally bowed his head into his hand.
"Oh Anakin..."
There was no anger, no real shock either. Just a deep sorrow and pain. His voice sounding as if it might break. The normally reserved and supposedly perfect Jedi was struggling with his feelings. He had been so blind. The signs had been there and he had not seen them, or perhaps he hadn't wanted to. Memories flashed through his mind. That of his friend, his face twisted by darkness and hate. I hate you! And then the sight of him burning and writhing in agony.
If only he had known. Perhaps he could have stopped Anakin from destroying the Order and himself.
no subject
But surely his confession must have filled Obi-Wan with disappointment. He failed his master and himself. And in a way, even his mother. She would not have approved of the slaughter. Through all the pain and torture she still held onto a pure-hearted goodness. Something Anakin obviously lacked.
"When we go back ... you will tell the Council?" He spoke his words with a heavy sigh being both a question and a statement.
He assumed Obi-Wan would feel it necessary, to turn him over for his actions. A dark secret like that one could not be looked upon lightly. Even Anakin knew that much.
no subject
"It's too late for that. The Council and the Jedi Order are no more."
The words fell from his lips before Obi-Wan really had a chance to think about it.
no subject
Emotions of guilt and regret melded into ones of anger. What happened to the Jedi? What is Obi-Wan talking about? The questions screamed rabidly in his mind and other than his first response he didn't know where to start. His mind struggles to put it all together.
He tries to hold it together. Keep his emotions in check, but he senses no deception from the elder Jedi. But still, he could be mistaken right? That small glimmer of hope remained. That Obi-Wan was wrong. Or mistaken.
His earlier thoughts of his confession were now lost to this new revelation. The more he learns, the more he does not want to know.
no subject
"It was Palpatine. He was behind everything. The corruption in the Senate, the war, the clones, everything. It was all a plot to take control of the galaxy and destroy the Jedi. He's the Sith Lord that we had been looking for. The clone troopers turned against me and the others. Many Jedi were killed and you turned to the Dark Side. With the clones you attacked the temple and slaughtered everyone, even the Younglings."
He regretted it as soon as he had spoken. This was not the way he would have given Anakin this news, but he was unable to stop himself.
no subject
And him? Turning to the darkside?
Anakin took a step back. The emotions overloaded his mind, swelling it with fear, confusion and other thoughts.
"No. No. You're mistaken. That would never happen. I -- No. Palpatine is my friend he'd never turn on us. And I would never --" He wanted to explode. Call Obi-Wan a liar. Scream at him to stop making things up.
Why would he say this? Why?
"This isn't true. You're simply mistaken. Confused. That's all," he continued, trying to justify everything said. It was the only way his mind could make sense of it all. The only way he could cope with what he was just told.
"Everything is fine. You'll see when we get back. This place, it has corrupted your mind somehow."
no subject
"I only wish that were true."
This said softly in response. If only he was mistaken, or confused, or anything else. Anything but that nightmare he had to live through. But thankfully Anakin didn't ask any more questions. Perhaps it was time to stop before he did. Thus Obi-Wan rose to his feet, careful to keep his cloak wrapped around him so that Anakin's Lightsaber couldn't be seen.
"I'm sorry, Anakin. I really have said too much. Stay here, I'll be going to Hatal for a few days. I need to be alone."
He needed to wait this virus out before he did any more damage.
no subject
Finally taking a step back he collapsed into a chair. The burden of this new knowledge was far too much for him. Holding his head with both his hands, he stared at the floor and waited for Obi-Wan to leave. He needed to think about everything and what he was going to do next.
For now he'll just stay in the room for a few days until he can gather his thoughts.
Though later when Obi-Wan finally returns after the virus is over he'll probably find several pieces of furniture broken out of general frustration.
