Warnings: None atm, will adjust if need be.

Thanks to Aerith healing his wounds, it didn’t take Obi-Wan long to feel like himself again. Or, well, as much like himself as possible considering circumstances.

While he didnt much care for this place, the Jedi is patient, and waiting for an opportunity to find a way out. It’s clear that won’t be easy. At least somewhat feigning cooperation might help though. But for now, what he simply can’t stand is to willingly live in filth. This whole place has obviously seen better days. If they were going to live here for awhile, he would like it to be at least somewhat comfortable.

So anyone milling about might find this man making such an attempt. Going around picking up and reorganizing the furniture, cleaning them as best be can, and discarding anything broken or is clearly trash that they can’t use. This will extend to the kitchen and the bathrooms as well. Though he will let the ladies handle their own.

Anyone is welcome to come help him, though he won’t ask. You can also just watch and make comments at him if you like. He won’t reallt mind.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

As the days moved, one to another, it was becoming more and more clear to Felix that this wasn't some strange fever dream, that he really was in a completely different reality, trapped with strangers, and awaiting some sort of strange "testing" by a disembodied voice he'd been told was called an "AI Computer". There was little to no information on the terminals related to "computers" and none on "AIs" and so he'd decided to busy himself with more mundane tasks. Joinin Obi-Wan in moving the sofa on the commons seemed like a good place to star.

The younger man smiles amicably enough as he approaches, raising a hand in greeting as well.

"Would you like a hand? It is our furniture, after all."

The moment that Obi-Wan got his face smashed in, by a naked man who should be dead, was the moment he had realized this was nodream. He’s glad no one else has had that experience here yet. It wasn’t a pleasant one. At least his face is better now.

Busy pulling the sofa away from the wall, the Jedi then looked up at the offer of help with a smile.

“I would appreciate that, thank you.”

He could certainly move it with the Force if he wanted to, but with how cluttered everything was still he decided it was better to take more care.

"Well, we're all on the same team." Felix took up a position on the opposite end of the sofa. Not only was it nice to have something to do, it was nice to be of a body stable enough to do it. He's spent the last few years battling a seemingly terminal illness, after all. Recovery was a wonderful thing. He nodded to Obi-Wan.

"On three?"

“That we are,” Obi-Wan replies as he took hold of his end of the couch. He then nodded in acknowledgment.

“One, two, three...”

Lifting the sofa up with Felix’s help they were able to do rather easily. With the Jedi nodding his head in the direction of a space he had cleared out for it. Once they put it down, he looked back to where it had been. A lot of dust, dirt, debris, and random things that had been underneath and behind it.

“I have to wonder how long all this has been sitting here.”

He didn't move his own eyes from the spot vacated by the sofa, either, frowning at the debris. Even further proof they weren't the first to call this unfortunate place home, and most likely wouldn't be the last.

"And how long ago others were in our situation."

"Yes... We are clearly not the first."

Though whether the previous inhabitants were captives like them, or this facility was repurposed, remained to be seen. He doubted that LACUNA would be forth coming with any of those answers either.

"Perhaps with time and patience, we will find out."

Though he hoped not to spend too much time here.

"Much of this facility is inaccessible." Which troubled him. It was very much like being held in a prison, after all. "If that were somehow changed..." He left the rest open. He knew better to think this LACUNA was never listening.

"Perhaps with good behavior. Cooperation is what they seem most interested in."

Whether he intended to cooperate with everything... well, that was yet to be decided. It all depended on what happened from this point on.

"Then it may be in our best interests to play along."

He didn't seem too pleased with that thought, but it was the only bit of constructive advice he had at the moment.

"I've no opposition to trouble, but I also enjoy breathing."

"Until an opportunity arises, yes, I agree."

Whatever that opportunity may be, he doesn't know. But it was always best to be prepared in case something did come along.

"Whatever they've done to Anakin clearly indicates they won't tolerate "deviant" behavior."

Obi-Wan's last statement caught Felix's attention and he narrowed his eyes, frowning on concern.

"What do you mean 'what they've done to him'?"

“After he attacked me, some droids carried him away. I don’t know where or what they did with him, though obviously he was brought back.”

He hasn’t actually asked because, well, he didn’t care to have a repeat of that fight.

Frowning, Felix watches him for a moment before nodding. "You and he have a history. Do you think, perhaps, he would be more open to discussing the situation with someone else?"

Obi-Wan considered that for a moment.

"Possibly."

That answer was a rather open ended one though. Anakin was rather unpredictable in his current state.

"It may depend on how you approach it. He certainly won't with me."

Felix, who'd lived his entire life in a viper's nest of those who thought him worthless simply because he, unlike the rest of his family, was incapable of naught but the simplest spells, nodded.

"I'll see if I can't get more information from him. We are all neighbors, after all."
