[Obi-Wan isn’t usually one to initiate texts. He prefers audio or video because it’s closest to what they use back home. But today is different. He sends Ezra a text.]

We need to talk.

I found a little girl and I’m bringing her home.

Re: Text

[ezra_of_lothal]

[This response is pretty quick.]

Ok. I'd much rather us than on the streets, if there's else no one around she's comfortable with. What do you think I need to know? Should I go pick up some supplies for her?

[hasmuchtolearn]

She’s from our galaxy and she knows me. Like you, a much older me.

I don’t know. What do 10 year old girls need?

video: un; apparition

[unphase]

[there is a young woman with dramatic make-up, eyes made up of variations of blue, and what looks like a crown but is really twisted bits of antlers on her head.

she's wearing a very elaborate gown and is posed with one leg bent behind and underneath the other, its foot raised in a straight line. her arms are up and bent at the elbow with her forehead resting on her arms and her eyes trained down in a show of deference]

Master Jedi, I am Tinya Wazzo, the Daughter of Bgztl. I knew of you in Trench and have seen you here. I think perhaps you may be able to assist me with a task of vital importance.

Back home, my husband is held in thrall to a telepath of considerable strength. She dictates his moods, his opinions, his very being. I do have some training in Force telepathy, but I know I need more if I am to have any hope of breaking her rule over him and restoring my husband's free will unto him.

I beg of you, if you cannot assist me yourself that you make introductions to one who can. I would be eternally in your debt. Please, do not leave me without hope.

A not-response (yet)

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra watches the message with increasing bewilderment and discomfort. Why does Tinya think she needs to put on this performance of flattery to ask for help? They've spoken before, and he thought they were friendly enough.

But more importantly....what can he even actually do? Her husband isn't here. Neither is this telepath, and frankly if they were, he doesn't know how this sort of sustained mind control could even work, so how could teach her a reliable way to strike back.

The closest thing he's aware of is however clone troopers were subverted, and that, he knows, was at least partly biotechnology that had to be physically removed. Although he still has many question about that, too.

So no, he does not respond immediately-]

[hasmuchtolearn]

[Thanks to a new bond, someone is quickly alerted to something going on with Ezra. Thus instead of the young man she’s expecting, another one shows up with a very unimpressed expression on his face. His tone carefully neutral as he speaks.]

Greetings Tinya Wazzo, daughter of Bgztl. I’m Obi-Wan Kenobi and a close friend of Ezra Bridger.

Seeing as neither your husband nor his captor are present in this world, I’m afraid nothing can be done from here. Further more, it’s said that we remember nothing when returned home. So even if we could give you information on how to help him, it would be lost. A fact that I would think you would be aware of.

Therefore, due to that and the nature of your call, I suspect you actually have another motive here. So I will ask. What are your intentions with my roommate?

[unphase]

[she does her best to restrain her temper at the accusation. when it comes to requests of the nature that she made, formality was paramount. to be accused of having ulterior motives for a gesture of respect in her culture's eyes was maddening.

but she goes back into her pose and carefully modulates her tone]

Nothing untoward, I assure you. My request was that: a request. Not a demand or an attempt at trickery. If that request is to be refused, so be it. I will accept graciously and not err twice.

early december

[ruevealing]

My friend! I wanted to check in on how you were doing.

:)

[ezra_of_lothal]

Kinda tired! But better in some ways. Had some talks that needed to hand with my roommates. And more of my family showed up! Ahsoka.

Not that she knows me, so I have that am I being presumptuous calling her family thought in the back of my mind. But things are always better when she's around.

How about you, Rue?

[ruevealing]

I'm so happy for you, Ezra! That is wonderful news! Memories or no, I'm certain you both can build that relationship up again someday, as long as she is willing.

How lovely. :)

I too am well! My husband has just arrived a few days ago. My heart has been so full since then.

Special Delivery! (backdated to Thursday evening)

[bossyboiler]

[ On the first night of Hannukah, a near stranger sent to Ezra, a half-dozen margarita cupcakes. There are also a half-dozen strawberry ones. They are both delivered by a cute little rabbit messenger. There is note inside that wishes him a Happy Hannukah. ]

(Sorry for my late reply!) [text; un: Lothalite]

[ezra_of_lothal]

Kate,

Thank you so much, your cupcakes are amazing. I hope the season is treating you well.

Ezra

Mid-March-ish!

[licensetocrane]

Hey Ezra, you got a moment? This is April-- we met at Rue's brunch?

[Must be serious, she's using proper punctuation.]

[ezra_of_lothal]

I remember! And sure. What's up?

Sometime in March

[mywayistheway]

[Have a random video of a red headed Mandalorian, Ezra. Notably she looks a bit distressed.]

I hate to ask this of you. But I need help.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra brow furrows in mild concern.] Well, I don't mind being asked, and I'm listening.

un: sansastark; text (4/14 around 1 AM)

[dohaeris]

Hallo Ezra, I very much hope you weren't woken up when I was, but if you were, of course you're welcome to call me. If you're reading this in the morning, of course you're welcome to call me then, too.

It seems the Lady Fox has put us on a boat in Nymph Port with all my things. I couldn't say what she means by this, except that I think she intends us to stay for some time, or she wouldn't have brought my things here with me. We aren't very close to the train, so I hope to stay at school during the week.

[this will NOT be possible!!]

I'll try to come and visit like before, but it would be well if you might meet me in Tides sometime. This boat doesn't have very much room for entertaining, and I share it with a house mate. Her name is Maki and she's kind enough. Our kitchen is even smaller than in Satori.

I hope you're well and I haven't disturbed your sleep. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

very shortly after 1 am

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Of course Ezra leaves his relic notifications on even as night. He's a healer for one thing and who knows when someone might call with an emergency.]

Got it. You're physically ok?

Video; un: s.rogers

[hadthehighground]

[Surprise Ezra! Have a seemingly random message from one super soldier! Or at least that’s what it appears to be on the video. Obi-Wan having managed to get Steve’s body dressed before reaching out to him.]

Ezra. We have a problem.

UN: Bridger

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra peers at the screen in faint confusion, before he smooths out his expression into at least appearing calm.]

How can I help...sir?

backdated before EVENT THINGS

[faceblocks]

so
hi
i got u a thing
where do u want this delivered

[she could ask sansa, honestly, but she's doing this the old fashioned way. and if he doesn't answer soon enough she's just going to show up. because that's absolutely what one does, right?]

[ezra_of_lothal]

Wait who is this?

It is a thing safe for 11 year olds?

10/22ish

[nativized]

In all honesty, Lex feels the whole process of Cale setting him up to team up with someone else to clear this out feels, well, tedious. He doesn't mind, but he suspects this is as much if not more to make sure he talks more with whoever this is. He halfway feels like he recognizes the name just from the network, and then there's the whole jedi thing...

Well.

If he followed the path towards Epiphany from Willow he'll eventually run into the guy, right? He picks up debris as he goes, but without much in the way of magic it's mostly just by hand...

And then there's some guy shoving it away with magic(?) ahead. Looks like a man around his age... plus or minus a few years. So that... probably is the one, right? A big pack on his back with all his stuff, sword on his belt, warhammer hanging off said bag, he picks up his pace to catch up with the guy.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Ezra's sword hangs on his belt as well, albeit in the form of black and chrome lightsaber hilt, that may be less than obvious to the uninitiated. Today he is, as he almost always is, in a version of Jedi tunics, this set, brown and orange, meant to be something he doesn't mind getting dirty.

After floating a small pile of debris and dropping it, he stops to wave. "Hello! You wouldn't happen to be Cale's friend, would you?"

Left on Ezra’s doorstep

[doesntsing]

[ A small gift box of coconut macaroons is left on Ezra’s doorstep with a note attached:

Dear Ezra,

Happy Hanukkah! It’s been great to get to know a Jew who’s from a whole different planet. We’re going to take over the galaxy. Please enjoy!

From, Midge ]
