A brief pause, and then, hesitantly- "Er - hello. I would like to apologize briefly, that I didn't ... mention my brother can be somewhat difficult," presumably it doesn't take a Jedi to read between the lines and see 'sorry I didn't warn you', "but I'm afraid this once I wasn't expecting him. He's-" an ancient genocidal xenophobe, "-not a man to trust easily, and I hope you weren't bothered." She doesn't think he was, but she does still feel...well, awkward. Plainly, and understandably. There's a moment of silence, then, "I do hope your sister approved of my gifts. Goodnight."

	[Static] This is Jedi Padawan Kenobi; do you read this signal? [More static, then:] Bother. [And it begins to clear up] Can anyone hear this signal? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Luke is in the Nexus, presently, which is fortunate - it's unlikely he'd get any stray off-timeline broadcasts at home. He has to duck out of the coffee shop he's in and jog down a cobblestone path to clear up reception-- "Hello? Yeah, I can hear you. Who is this?" Though for some reason he feels like he knows.

	There's a sigh. It's a long suffering sigh, the kind of sigh that only one man in the many universes could ever manage to produce. "Padawan. Kenobi." The accent is distinctly Coruscanti, and the tone clipped. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

"--Obi-Wan?" there's laughter in his voice, as there so often is, even if he sounds a little older. "Well, Padawan Kenobi, this isn't picking up anywhere near home- are you somewhere stable? If so I'd suggest just resetting your unit and moving on."

... It's the Nexus. Luke doesn't think this would be the Obi-Wan he knew. There have been coincidences, yes - like Claire and Lucy - but his expectations don't run very far. He's a realist, but only sometimes.

	There's a pause. It's the long kind of pause, like someone trying to figure out what's going on, and then, "Don't tell me this is the City." That part was garbled, more mumbled than anything. "Knight Skywalker?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	comm-PINpoint knightbalanced 2009-02-18 07:19 am UTC (link)
	He doesn't quite catch the mumbled line, but it becomes irrelevent with the other man's recognition. Luke freezes, shocked into stillness for a moment. "..Er. Yes." That's what you're going to say? Yes? Really? Okay. "You recognize-- you know I'm not Anakin?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	comm-PINpoint knightambition 2009-02-18 07:21 am UTC (link)
	Er. Yes? What kind of greeting was that? Obi-wan managed to clear his throat in response. "Of course you're not Anakin, Knight Skywalker. Unless you've decided, in the time since we last met, that you are going by Anakin because it makes the day go by a bit faster." The sarcasm, was, as usual, a little bit muted.

	There's, as usual, no laugh. Be satisfied with him laughing on the inside. "I'm not exactly sure." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	"Is your comm unit set up for a visual projection?" It's standard for Jedi, isn't it? "This certainly doesn't look like Tatooine." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	comm-PINpoint knightbalanced 2009-02-18 07:39 am UTC (link)
	"I mean your home universe. And you're not feeding in over my comm, it's my PINpoint, hold on-- yeah it should be set up." Obi-Wan, you know better than to assume Luke has anything standard. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	comm-PINpoint knightambition 2009-02-18 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Sorry, Luke, he doesn't remember that some Jedi are more ghetto than others, okay? He sets up the comm. "Hello," he says, with a bow. Of course. "Well I was last on Tatooine. So I assume I'm not there now." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Hey, some of us have galaxies to reform, Obi-Wan. Luke's own projector responds, though it's just his face and shoulders, since his PINpoint device resembles an Earth-modern blackberry cell phone (we're just going to blame Enfys for that).

"Obi-Wan!" he's grinning - all black, as usual, though the knee-length coat he has over his attire is new, as is the still-healing ruptured blood vessel in his left eye (though he probably won't be able to see that too clearly over the feed; and he can't see the bacta-bandages from his fingertips to his elbow, either, barely visible outside his clothes anyway). "No, this is not Tatooine. But it's not the City, either - you can come and go as you like once you figure it out - huuhh. You don't see any pink flying whales overhead or anything do you?"

	comm-PINpoint knightambition 2009-02-18 07:54 am UTC (link)
	Right, right. He looks right at the projection, and nods his head, before he looks up and around. "...well, I suppose it's a flying pink...something..." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	comm-PINpoint knightbalanced 2009-02-18 07:56 am UTC (link)
	"Okay! I should be able to figure out where you are then, they kind of keep a pattern-- One second!" the feed cuts out, and after a moment of fiddling with his coordinates, Luke simply appears about four yards away. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	comm-PINpoint knightambition 2009-02-18 07:58 am UTC (link)
	He stares for a moment. Okay, that's a pretty cool trick, Obi-Wan wonders when his Master will let him in on that. "Well." There's a pause. Awkward, okay? He bows, and his braid tumbles down in front of him. "Hello again." Okay so Luke's not the only awkward one. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	knightbalanced 2009-02-18 07:59 am UTC (link)
	Obi-Wan are you FOR REAL. Luke bursts out laughing and immediately rushes him for a hug that probably nearly knocks him off his feet. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	knightambition 2009-02-18 08:01 am UTC (link)
	Thank the Force for the Force. He manages to retain his balance, and most of his dignity, thank you very much. His arms even come to hug Luke back. Someone call Qui-Gon, quick. "It's good to see you too." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	knightbalanced 2009-02-18 08:06 am UTC (link)
	"It's really you," he marvels, shaking his head. "I almost can't believe it! How've you been, how- how long has it been I can't even- wow." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	knightambition 2009-02-18 08:08 am UTC (link)
	Listen to that dry retelling of events. "Well, as usual, I seem to have lost my master in some upheaval or another." He really needed to tie a rope to the man, or something. "I don't think it's been very long at all. It's all a bit blurry, I have to admit." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cailisairgid 2009-03-01 08:49 am UTC (link)
	"Hello," she says, brightly, "Luke, it's only Nuala. I'm showing a man that I met here in the nexus how this device works. Oh - I met your sister, please tell her hello for me, and that I will be happy to visit with her when she's free. Goodbye and be well, the both of you." (Reply to this)
