[Change is hard, but maybe, in the long run, it will be good. This message will be brief, yet oh how he has changed over the past month. Is that facial hair? Has he gotten a haircut? Yes to all the above. But don't worry, it wouldn't take much for him to return to how he was before. At least externally.]

If you're wondering about the Death Star, I'm willing to tell you what I know.

[What he remembers, rather, which isn't much. But he has paid attention to Luke and Leia, who know far more about the subject.]

I'm glad it's gone and you should be too.

[When does he get to throttle Sidious again?]

You cut your hair. Is everything alright?

Private; video

[prophesiedone]

I think we should meet in person. [It doesn't feel right to do this on a network.] Have you spoken to your mother?

Private; video

[articulations]

We’ve spoken, yes. But this isn’t about her, I’m asking about you. Are you alright.

Private; video

[prophesiedone]

...so you know? [He is relieved and also touched that Leia is worried about him(?).] I think this will be...good...in the long run. But I...

I miss how we were.

Private; video

[articulations]

I know, yes.

[ Will it be good? She supposes not everyone is meant to stay together forever. Eventually all good things come to an end, and what Anakin and Padmé had had before everything had turned upside down in their world, it no doubt had been wonderful. ]

You’re going to miss it for a long time. This isn’t going to be easy, Anakin, but as I said to Padmé, I’m here for you both should you need anything. Anything at all.

[Well this is... something. The whole Death Star thing happened while he was at the beach. But ever since he came back, things have been odd with Anakin. Their argument aside, there was also his break up with Padme, and now this. He's becoming very concerned.]

Anakin, what on earth?

[This is a new term for him! He's learned it from the locals and well.. they are on earth.]

Are you all right?

Private

[prophesiedone]

Master? [He gives a quizzical look - as if he doesn't know he looks different. Sometimes it's difficult to look at your own reflection; Anakin has discovered that problem as of late and this is his way of changing it. He doesn't want to look like the man who killed younglings or did all of those awful things.]

I'm taking one day at a time.

Private

[hadthehighground]

[It's not that the new look is bad, but it's certainly different. A bit jarring really.]

I see.

Its my hope that you remember that I'm here if you need anything.

[Like a razor. He is not sure what to make of that beard.]

Private

[prophesiedone]

[He usually shaves, but that hasn't seemed too important. When he is at their home, he has been strangely quiet - like he is lost in his own thoughts.]

I'm hurt and that's to be expected. I think what I feel is normal. Besides, I'm not sure what to say.

[Anakin wants to come through this and be stronger for it somehow.]

[stlg13bomber]

So what the heck was that thing? A prank?

[prophesiedone]

No, unfortunately not. That was a planet destroyer.

[stlg13bomber]

[Long pause on the line.]

Sorry, a what?

[Like. The kind of planet that is in space? Is that a euphemism for something? Not a whole entire planet, right?]

[prophesiedone]

A weapon that can destroy an entire world. [Unfortunately this isn't a metaphor or a euphemism.]

I just wanted to smash up its insides with a tank but the universe just keeps conspiring against letting me have any fun, I tell ya.

Video

[prophesiedone]

You know, I don't think that would actually work. Maybe the universe is saving you from a disappointment?

Video

[lootsnshoots]

If it was doing that, it'd let me have a tank.

Video

[prophesiedone]

You have an interesting way of thinking.

[sathan]

Do you know what it was?

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

It was a super weapon meant to destroy planets.

[sathan]

How do you know that?

[prophesiedone]

In my future, I am involved in its creation. I've spoken to my children and they've told me some of what it does.

[ Allison does turn on her video, as a habit now, but her words appear at the bottom of the screen in text. ]

I would like to know about this ... Death Star.

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

[While he can text, it's easier for him to talk via audio or video.]

It's a weapon designed to destroy worlds.

[numberthree]

[ She never minds. The video is always for everyone else. If she could talk, she would. ]

What does that even mean?

Why would anyone make a moon meant to destroy their world?

[prophesiedone]

It means exactly what I said. [You point it at a planet and it blows it to smithereens.] I doubt it was ever meant to destroy the worlds of those that built it. The worlds of enemies, however, are fair game.
