Has to happen sometime, Ben.

[feetoffury]

[Chun-Li usually takes her morning tea in Seventh Heaven, and today is no exception. She's just come in from a run, and sits down to drink a cup or two to recharge. She can't help but notice the gentleman who's not touching his tea, she feels him brooding, and...is practically overwhelmed by curiosity.

She approaches and takes a seat next to him, wanted or no. She's pushy like that, Ben.]

Hey, you alright?

And apparently it happened late.

[averybadfeeling]

[He snaps out of his reverie, taking a single sip of tea, distractedly.]

"Well enough... do I know you?"

[feetoffury]

[She grins and holds her head in her palms, leaning against the table]

Nope! But I've seen you around. Not sure who you are, but you look familiar. Either way, I'm Chun-Li. And in my culture, its a sin to waste good tea. So...something's gotta be on your mind, or you wouldn't be moping around here.

So here I am, to cheer you up! Whats your name, gloomy?

[averybadfeeling]

[He did not look gloomy. He was a Jedi. A picture of composure and tranquility. Absolutely free of gloom, doom, and variants thereof.

He sips more tea. She was right, it'd be a shame to waste it.]

"... Obi-Wan Kenobi. And I assure you, while I appreciate the thought, I do not require cheering up."

[feetoffury]

[To her? Thats the very picture of gloomy. You aren't getting rid of her that easily NOW]

OH, YOU are Obi-Wan? Adele mentioned you. Said you could use a friend. Mister Kenobi, you definitely need some cheering up. Whether you know it or not. That mask you're wearing? Tranquility? I've seen all that before. My father used to wear it all the time. So does Ryu. You aren't fooling anybody with the stoic act, least of all me.

Now, whats eatin' ya?

[averybadfeeling]

"... Did she, indeed."

[The blandest look. The blandest.]

"I see. Well, I assure you, it is nothing a bit of time alone with my thoughts won't sort out."

[feetoffury]

Well, not this morning, chief. You've just attracted the attention of the best cop in Hong Kong. So. That means we're having tea. Unless you somehow object to having tea with a kind stranger.

[She'll just give you the most wicked grin, Obi-Wan. And then take a sip from her own teacup.]

So. Where are you from?

[averybadfeeling]

"By all means."

[He takes another sip of his own tea. It's gotten cold. Oh, dear.]

"A small planet called Stewjon, but I was raised in the Jedi Temple."

[feetoffury]

OHHH, so you're from space. OK. That makes sense.

A...Jedi. Thats what you are? Hmm. What do Jedi do?

[averybadfeeling]

"We are guardians of peace and order throughout the Republic."

[... Were. We were.]

"Essentially, we serve as diplomats, protectors, advisors, and, when necessary, military commanders."

[feetoffury]

Very nice. So...special forces for your Space Republic?

[She's genuinely impressed]

I take it you have some sort of special powers? Or did you use all kinds of neat laser guns and stuff?

[averybadfeeling]

"Laser guns? Oh, no. Blasters are messy things. Clumsy. Uncivilized. Artless. They cannot defend, they cannot disarm, they can only injure and destroy."

[He nibbles his danish.]

"But yes, we are, though we're not actually part of the Republic's military or law enforcement. As for special powers, we are adherents to what I suppose you might consider a form of religion, in that we follow and draw strength from a mystical energy known as the Force.

And our weapons are not guns. They are, in a manner of speaking, swords. Though they are also meant to be our last resort, drawn in violence only when all other options have been exhausted."

[feetoffury]

Ohhhh? So you don't use guns? Thats good. I...only use them on the job, when...my preferred form of dealing with trouble isn't an option. But swords? Aren't those just as messy?


And...whats this Force do?

[averybadfeeling]

"If used properly, the Lightsaber can defend as well as attack, deflecting incoming blaster fire and parrying strikes in melee. It can also be used with more subtlety and finesse than a blaster, owing to the amount of maneuverability it provides.

And it makes a rather handy cutting tool, as well."

[He chuckles.]

"As for the Force, it... in our world, at least, it is a field of mystical energy that is created by all living beings. A living, unifying entity that binds the Galaxy together. Those attuned to it can use it to perform feats that would otherwise be impossible."

[feetoffury]

Oh my. So, you have special swords. Very cool!

[She nods when he describes The Force]

We've got something like that where I come from too. Chi. In my homeworld, people who apply themselves can learn to channel their own life essence to do the impossible.

[averybadfeeling]

"I have read something of Chi in my time here. It does seem to be very similar, though I don't recall it being used to accomplish spectacular feats."
