Cleaning up the Residential Area

[hadthehighground]

Who: Obi-Wan Kenobi and You!
What: Tidying up the place!
When: Any day between their arrival and the first tests.
Where: Residential Area
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.

Comments

“The man that attacked me,” Obi-Wan explained. “His name is Anakin Skywalker. I suppose I shouldn’t have expected he would introduce himself like a civilized person.”

This was said with a sigh. Pretty much nothing Anakin has done do far has been civilized. He was a loose canon, and it was largely his fault. His mere presence seemed to set him off.

“The last time I saw him... he was... physically different.”

That’s putting it extremely mildly.

"So, different times as well." It was an interesting idea, as well as and a worrying one. If these people could transverse both worlds and times, well, that was more than he thought his world could even think about doing. He wasn't sure about the other worlds though.

"At the risk of prying, what was he like before?"

[hadthehighground]

"You mean after," Obi-Wan corrected solemnly.

Taking in a breath, he let it out again as he recalled the still fresh memories.

"For me, the incident happened a couple weeks ago."

There was a pause, his eyes not making contact.

"Let's just say, he should be dead."

With what he had been doing to Obi-Wan, Darius could venture an educated guess on who would have been the one to kill him. He'd like to think it had been self-defense, that Obi-Wan hadn't tried to murder the man in cold blood. At least he hoped that was the case.

"Mind if I ask, why?" It was important to know.

[hadthehighground]

Again there was a pause, Obi-Wan’s expression distant. After a moment though his hand scrubbed across his beard.

“He had done terrible things, and had to be stopped.”

Which was said with certainty. But then one might wonder why he looked so remorseful.

Darius didn't have to wonder why he sounded that way. He'd seen the man after the incident, talked to him, and had hoped that the two could reconcile. Now, he wasn't sure that they could. At least not yet, and possibly not ever, if what he had done was unforgivable. But there was a lot, in Darius' opinion, that could be forgiven.

He didn't pry anymore into it, there was a feeling that Obi-Wan might break if he spoke more on it. Darius didn't want to hurt the man any more than his former friend seemed to be doing by simply being here (and attacking him at every turn). "I'm sorry, truly." He meant it too. No one should have to be put into a situation where they had to harm someone they loved.

[hadthehighground]

Whether it could be forgiven depended on one's point of view. Obi-Wan also believed in forgiveness, but if Anakin didn't turn from his ways, even forgiving him might not change anything.

Glancing at Darius, the man just nodded at the other's words. "Thank you."

The sympathy is appreciated, even if it won't do much good in the long run. Taking in a breath, the Jedi then looked around the room.

"Well, I think I might be done with this for today."

Time for a change of subject, and Obi-Wan wasn't much in the mood for cleaning anymore for now.

[movesahead]

Darius looked around at all the cleaning the other man had done. It was impressive, to say the least. "Are you planning on keeping this up every day then?"

[hadthehighground]

“I don’t see why not,” Obi-Wan said casually.

“Finding some sort of routine would be good, and there aren’t exactly many options here.”

[movesahead]

"I'd like to help if you're agreeable with that."
