WHO: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Evaan Verlaine
WHAT: Trying (and probably failing) to avoid spoilers
WHERE: Town square
WHEN: April 24th
RATING: Lowish

It wasn't difficult to find Kenobi after giving him time to settle in. Jedi robes were unique enough, they weren't common in Evaan's experience and in Starklandia they made the master stand out. She would have known him in any clothes though. She knew his face. He looked the same as he had the last time she remembered seeing his face on the HoloNet. She'd been six years old at the time, though if it was before the Empire's purge of the Jedi Order or after it she couldn't rightly remember. She did remember paying special attention to the reports as a child, hearing about the exploits of Kenobi and Skywalker had been more entertaining than most of the stories her parents would read her. Of course, whatever of his features her youth and years since might have made fuzzy, were cleared away years later after Yavin when the Princess had seen to it that an old image of the Jedi Master be added to their remembrance wall. She'd spent a lot of time in front of that wall, she got to know most of the faces on it.

Of course, all the faces on that wall were gone with no logical hope of returning to life. But then there was Kenobi. In the flesh. Alive and twenty years younger. The Force worked in mysterious ways alright.

Evaan had taken care to make herself presentable. She'd pulled her hair up in a traditional Alderaanian style, made sure her boots were polished and that her high-collared yellow jacket was spotless. If she'd had her dress uniform she might have worn it, even if it felt like a silly impulse. It did feel important not to be slovenly when meeting a legitimate galactic hero and Jedi Master. So, of course, when she approached him in the square, she bowed. "Master Kenobi? I'm Lieutenant Evaan Verlaine, I think we have some things to talk about."

Kenobi had been sitting at a table outside, staring at the device that he'd been given by Peter and trying his best to figure out if there was a way to send word off this planet. Or whatever it was. When someone approached, he glanced up. And he was honestly surprised to see such familiar clothing and for someone to know who he was. He looked a bit confused at first but smiled and stood. Yes! Evaan, he knew that name. She seemed to be from his star system, at least,but she claimed from a future date.

"Yes, Leiutenant. It's a pleasure to meet you." He nodded back to her with a warm smile, though he was surprised with how she was staring at him. And a little confused. Of course, Obi-Wan had fought in the Clone Wars and served in many prestigious positions, but he did not fancy himself very famous or a hero by any means. Just a man who did his best to follow the path and who often made mistakes by doing so. The most recent of which was still haunting him and would for the rest of his life.

"So you've been here a little while, perhaps you can tell me more about this place?" He had shrugged off the larger robe due to the warmth outside, wearing only his Jedi tunic and standard clothes, his lightsaber secure around his belt as he approached. "Have you learned anything so far?"

Evaan straightened, resisting the urge to salute as well. It had been half to show him the respect he was owed but the other half was just her needing to do something with her hands. It seemed like a silly thing really. She'd been mentored by the Queen of Alderaan, had occasion to meet her husband when her father worked for him. She was close to Leia. She knew Luke when he was just a farmboy who had never flown an x-wing and before he picked up his lightsaber. She should have been used to being surrounded by heroes, yet a part of her felt so anxious to be meeting the Jedi face to face finally.

Eventually, she settled on clasping her hands behind her back. "Not as much as I would like, Master Jedi. This planet seems empty save for those of us who have been brought here in one way or another. We're all from different times and universes, though there are a great many people here who know each other so it doesn't seem likely that the selection of people who are brought here. Stark, Tony Stark, he's made himself the leader in a way, built the power grid, worked on the plumbing, clever enough that he can follow-through on his projects but egotistical enough to slap his name on our little section of this planet."

Stark had done more than that but Kenobi could find out more details for himself if he cared.

"No spaceport, no transportation that we didn't make. No getting any messages off-world and no receiving them apparently. I did my best to salvage the comms on my ship but even without proper parts, I can say for certain that we're pretty alone out here. The closest thing I can think is a quarantine, but I can't figure what the common denominator for all of us would be and there haven't been any signs of illness." She shrugged. "Oh, and there's a building with doors that lead to different places that makes no sense at all within the usual confines of reason, physics, and everything we know about space and time. I recommend avoiding that place unless you're looking for a headache."
