February Catch-All

[hadthehighground]

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!

"Of course."

Better that than taking it apart. Normally Obi-Wan would know exactly what he needed and where to find them. But things were different in this place. He didn't know what the equivalent parts would be in this world, if there was any.

[looksfine]

With his permission, Aya's eyes began to glow a soft blue as she focused her scanners on the object. It didn't even require physical contact; her internal sensors began reading line after line of information transposed into data she could comprehend. Revert back to an immediate solution.

However, halfway through the process, both her brows rose in surprise.

"Its power source appears to be...internal. And self-recharging."

Not unlike her own, although she could immediately tell it was not an energy found anywhere on the Lantern Spectrum.

[hadthehighground]

"That would be the kyber crystal," Obi-Wan explains. He had wondered if she would notice that. "Its a naturally occuring crystal in my galaxy that's highly attuned to the Force."

He then pulls another crystal from a pocket on his belt. "I have this for the lightsaber I wish to build. It's similar to the Xunutane in Hatal. I'm hopeful that it will work just as well as a kyber crystal."

In other words this is an experiment.

[looksfine]

He was in luck; she was all about experiments.

"It will require an alloy capable of withstanding the concentrated energies at its base, for one." Starting with the obvious. "One that is resistant to corrosion, while simultaneously capable of being molded in such a manner that your crystal's energies can still be accessed with relative ease. Otherwise, it would make for a poor weapon."

She thought for a moment, then glanced down at her own physical form. Then back up at Obi-Wan with a knowing grin.

"I have an idea."

[hadthehighground]

Nodding in agreement with what she was saying, Obi-Wan then paused as she looked at herself and announced an idea. His brows rose slightly.

"Do tell."

Surely she wasn't thinking of using pieces of... herself?

[looksfine]

Of course not.

...well, not specifically.

"I have amassed a small collection of spare parts with which to do emergency replacements in the event of severe external damage. They are comprised of a special silicon nitride that has been synthesized using the conversion of monomers into a colloidal solution for an integrated network of polymers. It has been proven to withstand the force exerted by Green Lantern energy. As such, I am confident it will work equally well for you."

(In short, battle-tested, Aya-approved.)

"They are currently stored in my repair room at Stark Industries."

[hadthehighground]

Oh... Well then. That's certainly rather convenient. That's not something he could really argue with at all. Thus Obi-Wan gestures towards the street with one arm, while returning the Lightsaber to his belt.

"Then by all means, lead the way."

Obi-Wan had a good feeling that he and Aya would get along quite well.

[looksfine]

At the moment, Aya had no reason to suspect otherwise.

"Certainly. It is not far by flight, though I suspect you would prefer to take the land route?"

[hadthehighground]

"Yes... Yes I would."

Sorry Aya but even though he's a decent pilot, Obi-Wan would prefer not to fly if he doesn't have to. Flying is not one of his favorite things.

[looksfine]

She was...mostly ambivalent on the subject.

Flying was certainly easier when it came to traveling long-distance. It allowed one to bypass most physical obstacles, and offered a speed unhindered by the forces of gravity. On the other hand, as she walked along, her movements were fluid and natural. Not a single twitch or hint of stiffness. If she hadn't already confessed to being a robot, one might have easily suspected otherwise from a distance.

"This way, Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Continuing her habit of referring to individuals by their full name (unless instructed otherwise), she began leading him through the rapidly thickening crowd, heading in the direction of the Stark Industries tower.

[hadthehighground]

Oh sure it was convenient. That's why he still bothered to fly at all. It would be hard to get around otherwise where he's from. That matter aside, Obi-Wan followed Aya, seemingly not minding the usage of his full name. Droids would be droids after all.

Unless Aya decided to strike conversation, Obi-Wan was largely quiet as they walked, seemingly thinking to himself.

[looksfine]

Aya did not mind the silence. At the moment, she was the one in possession of something that Obi-Wan wanted. And the knowledge of where to go. There were no immediate questions she needed to ask before arriving at their destination.

In fact, as they walked through the doors of the large building some time later, she did not even need to ask where to go. Merely walked straight to the elevator on the far right, pressing the button to signal the desire to go up.

[hadthehighground]

As they arrived in the building, Obi-Wan's attention seemed to lift from his thoughts to look around as they went. Following Aya into the elevator he folded his hands and waited.

"This area certainly seems more advanced than most others in Keeliai."

Many of the sectors were somewhat primitive, on his scales at least.

[looksfine]

"Stark Industries was not originally run by the local kedan population. It was first established by a man named Tony Stark--albeit not the Tony Stark who currently resides within the city--and specializes in technological advancements."

[hadthehighground]

This draws a bit of a confused stare.

"You mean to tell me that there's been two of the same person here?"

Or maybe he's wrong and it was just a name coincidence? He highly doubts that though.

[looksfine]

In response, Aya nodded. Her expression betraying nothing, even as she thought back to past encounters with these individuals.

"It is not the first instance such a thing has happened. In fact, there have been occasions in which two different individuals from two separate universes bearing the same name and life were known to coexist here."

[hadthehighground]

"... This place never ceases to amaze."

It just kept getting weirder all the time despite Obi-Wan's efforts to learn as much as he could.

"So in theory, a friend of mine could arrive from a different universe and not be the same person I know."

[looksfine]

There was a slight delay in her response. An aversion of the eyes.

"It...has happened to me. Twice."

[hadthehighground]

"Oh... I'm sorry."

It didn't take use of the Force to see how Aya felt.

"Are you here alone?"

[looksfine]

"No."

That response came far more quickly, although it required a bit of elaboration.

"I am the only individual originating from my universe...that I have ever been made aware of. But I am not alone. I have made many friends here since."

[hadthehighground]

There was a small smile at that reply.

"I'm glad to hear it. How long has it been?"

He's heard of some being here for years like Zatanna. He can only imagine what it must be like to see people coming and going. Though he knows it's likely he will come to experience that in due time himself.

[looksfine]

"1,201 days. Including the duration of time that was spent in the realm of Dreaming after our defeat of Malicant."

...you know, give or take.

[hadthehighground]

"I see. You have been here a long time."

This said as he feels the elevator slowing to a stop. The Jedi Master waiting for Aya to exit first since she is the one leading the way.

[looksfine]

"Longer than some. Not as long as others."

Once the little bell rang, signaling they had arrived at their intended floor, and the door opened, Aya once more stepped forward to lead. Down one hallway, turning right. A few doors down, and she held up her palm by the scanner next to the entrance. It registered her unique signature. The door opened.

"I must request at this time that you do not touch anything."

[hadthehighground]

Stepping into the room after her, Obi-Wan respectfully kept his distance from anything that was in it. His hands folding together and disappearing within the long sleeves of his cloak.

"Of course."

He would merely stand somewhere off to the side and out of the way unless she wished otherwise.
