Action: 952 Beulah Street

[ Interestingly enough, a package is waiting for Obi-Wan when he arrives home, resting casually on the doorstep. He moves to pick it up with a puzzled look, simply staring for a long moment. What could this be about?

He steps inside, carefully pulling at the box. There is almost a hushed feeling about the air as he does so, an intense anticipation.

Nothing. The box is empty.

Appearances are deceiving. ]

Phone; Later

The will of the Force truly is a fascinating thing.

Or, perhaps I should thank the postman instead.

[donttellmetheodds]

I'd say you're lucky but maybe the Force is with you today.

[mediations]

Apparently so. [His wry grin can even be heard over the phone.]

[donttellmetheodds]

Jedi are allowed to be smug? [kidding kidding he is the cockiest jedi ever]

[mediations]

I'm quite certain the line can be blurred when something such as this occurs.

[donttellmetheodds]

I guess you can start getting used to using it again. In the meantime, I'm going to get some more lightsaber practice in.

phone. ...he is so curious, okay.

[helpmeguideit]

The Force?

omg they could get along so well

[mediations]

[ He almost forgot that not everyone would know what the Force is. ] It is an energy field, created by all living things. It is the Force that binds the galaxy together.

lmao yeah, they would...

[helpmeguideit]

[ Charles seems to accept and understand that well enough. ] And you're thanking the postman for it?

[mediations]

Simply for delivering the package. [ Oh yes, that is a very content, pleased tone. ]

Can I assume that you are a recent arrival?

[helpmeguideit]

Yes, I am. [ His line of questioning would definitely give someone that idea. ]

[werejew]

I heard he's a dick, though, so maybe you shouldn't.

[mediations]

I'll take your word for it, then.

Phone

[aozaki]

[that sounds vaguely familiar, ho hum.]

Literally, or metaphorically?

[mediations]

A bit of both, I suppose.

[aozaki]

Is it the same 'Force' that allows you to read minds and discern energy flows, from what I've been able to gather? [She sounds both curious and laid-back, like a tourist asking about a neat trick performed by a street magician...]

[mediations]

Indeed it is. [He sounds surprised.]

[aozaki]

I see! May I ask what else is this Force capable of? I've seen it in practice once, but I haven't gotten the chance to ask for details. [but this is mayfield, what's wrong with being candid...]

Phone

[companioning]

Will of the force? I don't quite understand.

[mediations]

It is, I suppose you could say, a saying from my galaxy.

[companioning]

Ah. [Her eyebrows lift a little.] So what does it mean exactly?

[mediations]

The Force is a great and powerful... thing. An essence. It surrounds us, and binds the galaxy together.

The Force is what gives a Jedi their power. It flows through them, allowing them to achieve a great many things.

[littleblonderiddle]

[ Juliet is still not quite comfortable with everything that's happened, but at least Ben is in the top notch end of the spectrum as far as roommates go. Hearing the door, she moves over to investigate. She doesn't want to intrude, but she's curious about the box in his hands. ]

Someone sent you... an empty box?

[mediations]

[He turns to her slowly, a slight smile on his lips.] To the average eye, yes.

To a Jedi? Not so much.

[littleblonderiddle]

[ She smiles back, tilting her head a little to the side. ]

Well, you seem pleased about it, whatever it is.

[mediations]

[ Oh, how the Force would continue to be a mystery, to both himself, and all those around him. ]

Let's just say I have received something from home.
