Network Post: Anakin Skywalker
Has anyone else with a connection or ability to sense a particular object of theirs found that, since arriving on this ship, you get the disorienting sense like there's more than one of it in different places? Especially if you have a lightsaber? It's been bothering me for some time now.

[Misty Knight and Howard Stark]

How are things so far with the new arm?

	We fought on Mustafar. I stole onto a ship heading into the system, and I met you there. [...] I didn't want to believe that you were the enemy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What changed your mind? If you took my lightsaber, you must have won the fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I cannot say exactly, only that you were changed. I would not call it "winning." You were [...] reckless, and I had an advantage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	Whatever you would call it. What did you do with your advantage? I know that Ahsoka and Padmé know what happened there, but they aren't telling me. Other people have said things about me wearing a respirator, or a support suit. Is that anything to do with our fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Often, we are better not knowing the truth in its entirety. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you rather I hear it from you or from someone who wasn't even there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would be easier on you to make it someone else's responsibility to tell me. But you've always taken responsibility for yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is my own failure for seeking to avoid this conversation.

I did not believe that you were truly lost. I do not know if I believe it now, given what I know of our futures. We were evenly matched, as we are, but the planetary's systems were activated in the struggled. I made it to the higher ground below. I told you not to, but you jumped and I [...] took your legs out from under you. The planet's environment did the rest.

	[...] You took my legs. And I burned? Did you try to save me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. That is the sum of it. Save you? You were already lost to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	I don't mean philosophically. My life. I can't imagine Mustafar inflicts only a small sunburn, and if I had to use a respirator after... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Then, you misunderstand my intentions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] Did you mean to kill me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	I did what I had to do to protect the Republic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	You tried to kill me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	It is not a decision that I made lightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	But you did make it. He told me to kill you, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	We did what we had to under the circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Why did it have to come to that? Why couldn't someone besides him be willing to help me save her? It's not fair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	Do you not see it? He used your fear of losing her against you. To turn you into a puppet that he could use for his own ends. This has never been about what you wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	And he supported me when nobody else would. That is why it worked, isn't it? I had no one else to turn to. I was done being the Council's puppet and I turned into his instead. And she still died anyway. It has always been about what somebody else wanted of me, never what I have wanted for myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin strikemedown 2017-04-09 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I suppose it is. If it is any consolation, you can have what you've always wanted here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Obi-Wan / Anakin balancetheforce 2017-04-09 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Not everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have your family. You have friends. And we are on a ship that can take us literally anywhere in the universe, albeit not where we expect to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
