[Open] Zenith Locked

[holonethero]

[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.]

In my world, Gods are things of the past, if they ever truly existed in the first place. So I'll have to take you at your word.

[Still, Anakin nods respectfully. He is well aware that there are different universes at work here, and the truisms of the Galaxy Far Far Away may not hold here.]

Set is someone to be careful around, then. I assume when the fighting breaks out, if it breaks out, that you'll be a match for him?

[fursuit]

[ That’s familiar, at least. He laughs gently at the idea of all the gods being things of the past, and though he doesn’t speak further to it, the impression through Communion amounts to “yeah, that makes sense.” After all, they still exist, since he’s proof of it, but accessing the mortal world…? That’s a different story. So, yeah. They might as well not exist, practically speaking. ]

Oh, yeah. Like, he’ll be chatty with you, since we’re definitely the same in that. All this faction stuff, it’s kinda beneath us. But when push comes to shove? Yeah, he’s dangerous. I am too.

[ …Anakin’s question, though. He will not mention that Set already snapped him in half (literal) and dissipated him. ]

As far as I know, I’m the best match for him, yeah. Brute strength ain’t my forte, but don’t have to be. Just one shot or two and you’re good, and guns ain’t his forte.

[ …Not yet, anyways. Don’t worry about it. ]

[Again there's that sense of a person absorbing and considering information. It all sounds a little beyond him, but he does kind of agree that the faction stuff seems a little bit...beneath all of them except maybe Silco. Oblivion is generally at the forefront of Anakin's worries, not Meridian. Though if there's some extremely powerful being on the other side, it is something he needs to keep in mind, and he knows it.]

You're more practiced with firearms than he is? I suppose that's something. Assuming you have access to them here, anyway.

[Which, actually, good question.]

What kind of weaponry does this world even have? I've acquired a sword, and that should be alright for now. But I'm used to fighting with more advanced things.
