Voices of the Past

I can hear the wind singing already:

"Hey, ho, blow the man down!"

You know, I don't remember seeing any freight trains on Coruscant the last time I was there. How does Obi-Wan know what such a thing is? (Minor quibble.)

 

poor Obi Wan....but I know that he and the Force will conquer in the end.....but even knowing that.....::squeak:: what's going to happen??

 

Jane Jinn- Obi-Wan may not have heard trains on Coruscant before. But, being a Jedi, he's traveled to several different planets and has heard them there. Does that answer your question?

 

Of course. Why didn't I think of that? Now where's the rest of the story?

 

Great story!
Now what of Obi-wan and the tonadoes? Post please!

 

I've got a quibble: Obi-Wan has lots of training with using the Force to see (i.e., lightsaber duels with blindfolds, etc.) so why is he having so much trouble figuring out how to use the Force to sense objects?

 

While I cannot speak for the author, I imagine that Obi Wan would have to take some time to get used to not using his eyes. Despite being adept at the Force, humans are sight oriented creatures. The loss of sight is not one that I imagine you can adjust to at the flip of a coin. Obi Wan has had to experiment to find out how to use the Force to "see." It's not something that anyone would be able to show him I would think, plus, there's more to the endevor if he does it himself. Just my humble opinion

 

Obi-Wan vs. Tornado? Can't miss it. Please post soon

 

Jedi Tamara-Knight Obi-Wan is very right in his assumption. It does take time to adjust to being blind, even for a Jedi. Also, I don't know if I've made it very clear, but Obi-Wan is fourteen in this story. He's just started his adventures as a Jedi Padawan. He doesn't have the full grasp of the force yet. Does that answer your question?

 

Obi-Wan awoke. He could feel movement under him. There were people shouting all around him. He was extremly confused. What was going on here? And why did he hurt all over?

"His blood pressure is dropping."

"Give a him a dose of Elimine."

"Right."

He felt a quick pain in his right arm.

"Done."

"How's his side?"

"The bleeding has stopped, but he lost a lot of blood. We may need to give a transfusion."

"Right. Blood type?"

"No I.D. found on him, Doctor. We'll do a quick check."

Someone lifted his finger and he felt a prick.

"Type B."

"Got any on hand?"

"We should. It's a common blood type."

"Ready it. We may need it during surgery."

Surgery? NO. No that! He tried to protest, but his voice didn't seem to work. The movement under him stopped. He heard shuffling around him.

"Put him under."

Put him under? NO! They were going to kill him! He was going to die! NO! Why? What was happening? What...

He felt another quick pain in his arm? What was that? Poison? NO!

He felt it seep into his veins. He fought against it, but in his weakened state he couldn't do much. He suddenly felt sleepy. Is that what the poison did? Make you sleep...forever?

He didn't have time to answer the question. He started to drift off. He was getting very woozy. Goodbye hands. Goodbye arms. Goodbye legs. I'm going bye-bye. These peoples are killing me with sleeping potion. Bye Bye. I'll miss you.

With that, he drifted off into what he thought was eternal sleep.

Sorry to leave you with such a confusing post, but that's all I have written.

 

"Put him under." Six feet under? Did the tornade smash Obi-Wan into a tree or something? Or was it really a freight train and did Obi-Wan get hit by it? I'm glad he's alive, anyway, so you can torture him some more with that Voice of the Past. This post wasn't confusing at all, but another one would be greatly appreciated anyway.

Mekial -- Yes, it does. Thanks.

Your last post was a great way to pick up the story (and it wasn't any more confusing than it should have been -- after all, Obi-Wan was only about half-conscious). Keep 'em coming!

 

WHAT HAPPENS?!

 

I found this on p. 4! UP!

 

I believe "put him under" refers to anesthesia, dear fellow readers.

"Obi-Wan! He's waking up!"

Huh? What? Who called my name? Who's waking up?

He lifted his head, but a razor sharp bolt of pain shot through him. "Ow!"

"I wouldn't do that."

A voice. A female's. A young female.

"Hey, didn't anyone ever tell you not to tangle with a twister?"

He shook his head, or tired to. The girl groaned. "Generally, when you get a concussion, you don't shake your head." She chuckled. "Unless, of course, you happen to enjoy excrutiating pain?"

It was Obi-Wan's turn to groan. His hand went to his head. He winced. It hurt. He felt something warm on it, and brought his hand to his nose. He took and deep breath...and just about gagged.

The girl sighed. " You moved too much and now it's bleeding. Wine, bring some more aniseptic and a fresh bandage for the gentleman who thinks he can ride a twister."

Obi-Wan heard metal footsteps as a droid got closer, and started to remove the bandages from his head. The medic droid was none too gentle, but Obi-Wan did manage to keep from screaming.

"Thanks, Y-9. You can leave now. But come check up on him again in a couple of hours."

She directed her attention back to Obi-Wan. "You got a name?"

"Obi-Wan Kenobi."

"Nuh-uh. You're joking." she said, sounding a little surprised.

He started to nod, but caught himself. "Not joking. Thats my name."

"Well, then, Obi-Wan, it's nice to meet you. My name is Obi-Wan Lecoiten."

Now it was Obi-Wan Kenobi's turn to be surprised. "Wow. I never expected to meet another Obi-Wan." She didn't reply.

"Obi-Wan?" he said.

"Obi-Wan?"

"You can't see, can you." she said, sounding afraid to touch on the subject. "I was waving my hand in front of you the whole time."

He nodded, ignoring the pain that still rocked him.

"Hmmm...I didn't know you can be a Jedi and be blind."

He smiled. " It's possible."

"Obi-Wan?"

"Yes?" two voices answered.

Both Obi-Wans laughed.

"You're talking to me, aren't you, Qerie?"

"Um, yeah." Qerie said, a little confused. "He's an Obi too?"

"Yes."

"This is going to be confusing." he paused. "We found out where he's from. Murray picked him up on Coruscant."

The female Obi-Wan sighed. "Obi-Wan, how did you get forced into going with Murray?"

Obi-Wan was confused. "I needed to come here, and he offered me a ride."

"And you took it?"

"Yeah. He's a nice old man. What wrong with accepting a ride with him?"

Qerie giggled.

"You mean you accepted a ride with Murray? No way. No one is that dumb."

"What are you talking about?"

"Murray is one of the most feared slave traders in the galaxy. He kidnaps kids. No one has been able to catch him yet. And you accepted a ride with him." She sounded exasperated.

Obi-Wan was surprised. "You mean...? Why'd he dump me, then?"

"Because, Corulag is well known for it's intense twisters. He must have seen that one coming and dumped you. It's a bit of a walk from his landing port to the city. He wouldn't risk carrying you. It'd be too slow. So he just dumped you. According to him, no slave is worth risking your life over.

"But I'm not a slave!" he protested.

"Obi-Wan!" Qerie said. "None of us choose to be slaves."

"Um, which Obi-Wan were you addressing?"

Qerie sighed. "This is going to be a problem. We have got to find a nickname or something so we call one of you without the other one answering."

The three thought for awhile.

"I know!" Qeire said, obviously excited. "Obi and Wan."

"No, too hard to remember."

"Ok! I got it this time! Obi-Wan Kenobi, we'll call you Ken. And Obi-Wan Lecoiten, we'll call you Coit. That okay with you two?"

"Sounds fine to me, what do you think, Ken?" Coit asked.

He grinned. "Sounds f...."

Ping

Ping

Ping

BOOM

He a felt a fast movement.

"THE CORLAGIANS!" Coit screamed. "They're attacking. I've gotta get down there! Come on, Qerie."

Obi-Wan started to get up, but Coit's hand stop

 

Yes MORE MORE MORE. This is very interesting.
Yes....ohhh twisters....hmmm. Cool

 

HOORAY! A post! My heart (which is the only part of me that can dance) is doing the Little Jedi Jig of Joy! Great stuff! I like the idea of having another Obi-Wan and the mix-up that ensues. But did I understand correctly that the other people are slaves? "None of us chooses to be a slave?" And is Obi-Wan going to be one, too, or not? (Good possibilities for Obi-Torture there!) And what's going to happen next? And when's the next post coming? I hope we don't have to wait weeks for it!

 

Boy, does this bring up fond memories of times long gone...

Kinda miss the old campaign... haven't gamed in six months, and GMed since last May... fanfic and non Star Wars stories took my time...
