[Open] Zenith Locked
[Anakin has taken his time in reaching out to others, partially because he doesn't really like the idea of communion and partially because of his desire to remain detached, but he knows that isn't feasible. He's heard all of the warnings about the war coming to an end soon, and about the need for action...but committing to that is not something he's willing to do just yet. However he still wants to be of some help, and in a sudden, snap decision he just...does it.
His mental voice falters briefly, almost as though he's thinking better of it, but when he does speak up it's in a confident, clear tone. He's used to public speaking, at least, even if this is a little weird.]
Good afternoon. I have been remiss in introducing myself to the rest of you. My name is Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight and General of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic. I've recently arrived and I've been slowly taking things in. I have a few questions, and an offer I'd like to put on the table.
[His thoughts slow, and are accompanied by images of a long stone room with a shallow, sandy floor. A training room.]
The offer first. I have trained many men and women in my unit in self-defense, and I've had an apprentice Jedi up until very recently. I've come to understand that many of you come from civilian backgrounds. If you would like to learn how to fight, or you'd like to brush up on things, particularly when it comes to swordsmanship, please seek me out.
[He pauses to let that sink in before going on.]
Secondly, the questions. I'm curious what made you choose Zenith to give your allegiance? And I would also ask what would make you change your mind? I am not intending to question anyone's loyalties or allegiances except possibly my own, I just would like to understand why you've made the choice you did. It may help me frame my own thoughts better.
Thank you for your time and your thoughts.
[His thoughts quiet then, waiting for responses.]

[He remembers you, girl. You were one of the reasons he decided to even make the offer. The other guys all seemed alright, so far, but if the war turned he didn't want to see people he'd taken a shine to unable to fight back.
His thoughts turn more focused as she continues, though.]
When you say reality-breaking, what exactly do you mean? You...think you saw Oblivion?
sorry for the delay!
As for the topic of Oblivion…]
Who knows if it was Oblivion or not. It wouldn’t surprise me if it eating away at reality was part of the whole problem I saw, though. I dunno how much you know about time travel, but like… let me just tell you that trying to change the past comes with some real shitty consequences.
[aka, reality throwing a fit that things didn’t go the way they were supposed to.]
No worries!
[He definitely sounds surprised by that. That's not something he expected to hear, but then that shouldn't be too surprising. He was familiar with a lot, and he knew the old Spacer's stories of Hyperspace accidents throwing people off if they got too near a black hole, but that was always forwards and not backwards.]
Have you traveled in time? If you have, you definitely know more than me. Where I'm from, that's not possible.

[‘We,’ despite just saying that she wasn’t the one doing the reversing, but she’d sure been the cause of a lot of it (and done a lot of egging Max on).]
Timelines crossing the streams, or whatever, kind of pulling her in all directions… I dunno how to fix it, but a fresh start sounds like the best bet. So here I am.
no subject
I don't...again...know much about time. But if your friend was being pulled apart or something, then yeah that sounds like the best way to save her.
Do you have her shard?
