I tried. I have nothing left to show for it.

[spellslots]

[This meme is for heavy questions or stupid jokes there's no in between.]

I dunno, I mean - I told Lup about her dying and the whole trapped in an umbrella bullshit she pulled, but that's.. different.

[Because it effected him, and it was obvious in the way he interacted with Lup.

Julia doesn't effect him.]

[supersweet]

No, not here. At home.

Intergang. Doomsday. The Eradicator. Manchester Black. It's a long list.

[jedies]

No, we don't normally have Jedi stationed there. Too close to Hutt space and . . . accidents.

[ Hutt-assassination, to be frank. Obi-Wan gets along with the Hutts, but he pities anyone else dealing with them. ]

[ohhmrburnsides]

Hm. That's a good point. If it could make or break my life...

[He considers. He's still not sure.

Then, cautiously:] Why do you ask?

[spellslots]

Cause I know about the worst thing that ever happens to you and it's fucking killing me, not knowing if I should tell you.

[So this honesty thing works both ways. Cool.]

[hititwithacrowbar]

My life is a complicated mess, explaining it even more complicated.

See, a simple question, with a simple answer. Yes. I am trying to help people, I do help and protect people. They go hand in hand in my book.

[talentedscavenger]

The Hutts? They're not a big threat. At least I don't think they are. [ They're not spoken about on Jakku, so she could be wrong....]

[jedies]

[ Were the Hutts diminished too? Maybe the future wasn't all that bad. ]

In my time, they had strict control of their routes.

[ohhmrburnsides]

What would it take for you to let me touch the robot.

[ohhmrburnsides]

Oh.

[A beat.]

Wow. ... Okay, okay. Is this something I can prevent if you tell me or is it just gonna happen anyway?

[talentedscavenger]

[ The notion of "in my time" sounds so odd to her. Time was a straight line, never going back, only forward...but that doesn't seem to be the case. ]

They don't anymore. Now it's more about The New Republic, and the First Order and which one of them hinders trading routes...or the different gangs.

[spellslots]

If it's true about us not remembering this place when we go back, there's nothing you can do to stop it. If-- If you could, it'd be even harder to decide.

[ohhmrburnsides]

Don't tell me. [It's a tough decision, but...] If I'm not gonna remember when I go back, then fuck it, right?

... Is it gonna drive you crazy if you don't tell me?

[spellslots]

Nah, I'm pretty fucking selfish and you not knowing benefits me enough that I can live with it.

[COOL]

[jedies]

[ Obi-Wan has had interesting experiences with time and space. Mortis showed him how vast the Force can be. And how easily it can change. ]

What is the First Order?

[ohhmrburnsides]

[Uncool.]

Tell me.

[talentedscavenger]

Evil. [ Litterally the first word that comes to her mind. ] Kylo Ren is part of the First Order, and his Master is Snoke. They want to rule the galaxy, essentially complete the goal of the old Empire.

[imperceptus]

[ He grits his teeth, tapping his foot against the ground. He'd like to give a cavalier answer, something that suggests a sense of laissez-faire about the whole thing, but ... ]

It's literally the worst.

[imperceptus]

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

Going to need specifics.

[spellslots]

[God dammit. Taako's expression softens.]

You fall in love with Julia and I'm pretty sure you get married, and then some guy called Governor Kalen murders her. When we met, it was... you were still a mess. I was so sure you were gonna use the chalice to change things.

[spellslots]

[#mood]

So about what I thought. I mean - same here, but it seems like you're a little more invested in your lies and shit than I am.

[No... offense?]

[winscenario]

Yes, and I'm not going to try to, either. I have a boyfriend whom I love very much and I have no interest in anyone else. I can't say I wouldn't give it a shot if I were younger— I used to be pretty terrible in that regard.

[ And Angela's definitely attractive. Jim never needed much more of a reason than simply that. ]

I think I should be sufficiently tolerable to you, then.

[winscenario]

I have a few other wishes, you know. It's not like befriending you is at the top of my list.

[ There's a hint of teasing to his tone, which he can't help despite the way their previous encounter ended. ]

But you could know.

[jedies]

[ Evil is a strong word, but Obi-Wan can't deny it. ]

I suppose I should have expected nothing less.
