Town Square in the Park, Saturday Afternoon

[saddeserthermit]

Most of the information they had found was circumstantial, at best: rumors about what might have happened, strange reports that could mean anything about what caused this. But from it had arisen one potential path, the destruction of whatever anchored this place here - though whether it was an anchor that held their island tied to this, or an anchor that held this island tied to its doom, Obi-Wan couldn't say.

Regardless, it was time. He made his way to town square after spending some time urging people to come there. Just to make sure, he raised his voice. "May I have your attention?" he called.

And waited. A bit.

"I'm sorry if I am being presumptuous. My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am... newly here. I, and several of our people, have spent some time researching the current state of the island." Yes. That. "We have identified two creatures that may be involved in powering our current circumstances. Therefore, we find it credible that removing these creatures may at the very least improve our circumstances some."

He couldn't make any promises, here.

"If you are willing to volunteer to take on a flying man vulnerable to electricity, and an easily-distractable... thing... out in town, please do report to me." Beat. "And Principal Zoe? I would like to speak with you as well."

He stepped away from the rock he'd stood on, straightened his robe, and waited.

[[ wait for the ocd up! ]]

If you're just here to listen to the weird bearded guy yelling about stuff.

Isabela was paying very close attention to Obi-Wan...not least because she'd discovered there weren't very many pretty things on this version of the island. Especially ones that weren't trying to murder you.

Ahsoka was there but distracted, since the closer she'd gotten to the park the worse the buzzing in her teeth and montrals had gotten. She was about ready to scratch the skin clean off them if it'd make it stop.

Re: Listen

[theplacetostand]

Ahsoka wasn't the only one, though Ahsoka at least was using the rise and fall of the buzzing as she moved through the park to locate the source.

Huh, that was a surprise.

Kanan had been out most of the night searching for survivors after meeting Raven yesterday. Putting as many hollows - and worse - out of their misery as he could manage. He looked tired, but strangely invigorated by it, like he'd found some deep well of himself to run on that he had left behind a long time ago.

He hadn't gone back to the MCA, though. There was nothing in this Galaxy or any other that could get him to go back there. And listening to Master Kenobi speak made for a great distraction from that.

It was really only a matter of time before Jono had made his way from their little stronghold in the house to the one place on that island that seemed to have the largest collection of minds that didn't have murder resting at the fore. He looked a little worse for the wear, maybe, but generally whole. For Jono.

And, because he was apparently an idiot, now he was walking over to listen to Obi-Wan talk about how to fix this.

Easily distracted? Sounded a bit like somebody he knew.

Eliot was there, looking rather grimmer than usual, even for him. He stayed off to one side and listened.

So. The anchors of his world weren't the anchors of this one, then. Good to know.

He couldn't fly or shoot electricity, and frankly, Parker and Hardison might kill him (ha) if he volunteered to play distraction to anything else, after Kenzi. So while part of him was raring to -- was always raring to -- dive in and fight, this time it seemed like he was better off staying behind with his crew.

None of them were up for being separated very long, today.

Re: Listen

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Don't even, man," Hardison said, before remembering that that was probably the wrong way to handle this.

Kathy was standing off to the side of the crowd, arms crossed over her chest, just listening. This wasn't the first time she'd heard the denizens of Fandom scrambling to come up with a plan, nor the first time people had decided to try to take out some of the more horrifying creatures in town. Hell, if she concentrated very hard, she could almost remember being one of those pouring over books and notes, hoping to find anything she could about their predicament.

It hadn't worked then. She doubted it would work now. But it was inevitable that they would try something.

Re: Listen

[rebelseekspizza]

All of this was just weird. So fucking weird. And Dante... needed to do something, anything, to stop it.

Not because he was a hero-type, mind you.

Just because it was the weekend, and he was missing a great chance to hang around the room and watch shitty TV with Anders and drink booze and--

Okay, hell, he just wanted things to go back to normal. So he showed up to the meeting, quiet and thoughtful.

Ada had eventually made her way here last night after the library, after someone had told her it was safer than the dorms.

She fingered the knives hidden at the small of her back, but didn't speak up or offer assistance. She was leagues better than she had been when Isabela had first started teaching her, but Ada wasn't stupid. As much as she wanted to do something productive and help, this wasn't the way for her to be of assistance.

Maybe she'd see if anyone was going back to the library. Anything to get out of here, and away from being this close to the water. There was something...itchy. About the ocean here. Something scratching at the back of mind. And Ada wanted as far away from it as possible.

Tip sat in the back, hugging her backpack.

Right. Other her wasn't one of these "anchors". That was nice to know. Maybe.

She hoped what they were talking about here would work. She'd had enough of living off her go-bag supplies again.

Re: Listen

[throughaphase]

Kitty of course was here, because that's what hero types did, and also because she would like to start really fixing things already.

Seriously, she hated when this stuff happened.

Re: Listen

[kintsukorosu]

Hannibal was prepared to listen. And wait. And look out over all the people that would probably be dead or going hollow in a day or two.

Re: Listen

Peter was here, and Peter was listening. He nodded at the end of the speech and tightened his grip on his sword.

Strike Teams!

[saddeserthermit]

Please volunteer here.

"Oh," Obi-Wan will add eventually, "We may need some of you for another mission afterwards."

Re: Strike Teams!

[furnaceface]

Well, flying and electricity, Jono couldn't do much about. But - and again here he went running off his mouth before his brain could really kick in - he was putting up his hand as he spoke all the same.

//Distracting, I can do,// he noted. //I'm sort of made for it, really.//

He could be very eye-grabbing when he wasn't wrapped from nose to navel.

Re: Strike Teams!

[snipsnspecks]

"I can fight."

Please let her fight, Obi-Wan, she had mental images she needed to not think about ever again.

Re: Strike Teams!

[good_for_six]

"I can help." This was a terrible idea, but not in fact the worst one Isabela had had today.

Re: Strike Teams!

[2_old_for_this]

"I can help," Peter said. "Where do you need me?"

Talk to Obi-Wan

[saddeserthermit]

If you wish.

Re: Talk to Obi-Wan

[theplacetostand]

Hi, Obi-Wan!

Here, have a Togruta.

Kanan's better judgment was apparently suffering, this week. He had his lightsaber in plain view at his hip, and he looked like a man who had been putting himself through his paces fighting overnight instead of getting rest like a sane person.

All the better for Not Thinking About It™ while actually doing some good, for once.

"Master Kenobi," he said, bowing his head and approaching him as the crowd began to disperse. "Good to see you here."

Re: Talk to Obi-Wan

[bigdamnprincipal]

"I think the bad feelings you all get are starting to be contagious," Zoe said, smirking softly. "What have you all found out?"

OOC

[saddeserthermit]

Ugh, almost at the end of my week off.
