[Morris looks thoughtful to camera. His right hand is clasped over his left - which is enclosed within a thick, armour-like glove. He rubs the knuckles distractedly as he speaks.]

In my time, gold was so desperately craved for that men would kill for it and were always seeking ways to find more of it. While there is still such theft or murder going on, it appears that pure gold nuggets are not usually the most desired item stolen or fought over.

What is it that is of most value here? What is most valuable to you?

[ Anakin has gloves off, his black plated arm on display, a spanner inside his right wrist, his fingers limp and unresponsive and amusingly enough, tipped in gold. In his left hand is a portable soldering iron, smoking as he works on something. ]

Here I don't know. My family would be most valuable to me, but if you mean a thing, my lightsaber.

Video

[john_morris]

Oh of course many would say family or friends. That much is expected.

Yes, I did mean objects or things.

What, pray tell, is a... lightsaber?

[A pause and he adds, even more bewildered.]

And what has happened to your hand?

Video

[kraythero]

[ Anakin looked up with a little smile, laid the soldering iron down on its heat matt, twisted the spanner to lock it in place, then motioned with his left hand back. The device moved away from him by several feet and held steady. He twisted and held out his left hand - a hilt flew to his hand and landed with a solid impact, he twisted back and flicked the saber 'on'. ]

Lightsaber.

[ Anakin powered it down and placed it by his thigh. ]

Lost the arm in combat about five months ago while dueling Count Dooku in the opening battle of the War.

[He looks amazed.]

That is some kind of magic.

Ah... I am sorry about your arm. What war was this?

Video

[kraythero]

I just built that one, I lost my original one in the same day I lost my arm.

[ It was a spectrally BAD day. ]

Uh...The Clone Wars I think is what it's being called,- galactic wide civil war.

[unrepentantsoul]

Here? This one is unsure. But of most value to Khajiit? Her soul.

[john_morris]

But what of material items?

Unless you fear that your soul can be stolen.

[unrepentantsoul]

Material things can be replaced.

[She waved a hand dismissively before shrugging.]

No, this one does not fear it. It has already happened. What use is there in being afraid?

[john_morris]

Still, they do have value to some.

You have lost your very soul?

[unrepentantsoul]

Yes. It was stolen. Was this one not clear in her words?

[photografist]

Freedom of choice, as ironic as it is to say here.

video

[john_morris]

Oh dear. I should have specified perhaps more material goods?

Of course such freedoms are of immeasurable value.

video

[photografist]

Well, that gets tricky. Never been a materialistic person myself.

video

[john_morris]

But many people do put value in such things.

Gems. Money. Gold.

[He taps his lead-gloved-clad fingers against the tabletop.]

video

[photografist]

Of course, it's only human.

[ She grins a little at him, but nods concedingly. ]

My camera.

Video

[grabtharshammer]

The ability to control being myself, which I've apparently lost in coming here.

Video

[john_morris]

That sounds most concerning, sir.

[grabtharshammer]

It certainly is, yes. There's such a thing as an actor 'losing himself' in a role, but this is ridiculous.

[john_morris]

How exactly have you lost control of yourself?

[germhating_hypochondriac]

[He gives a very serious look for a very simple answer.]

Friendship's the most valuable thing anywhere, dude.

[john_morris]

Oh, but of course. I am not disputing that.

But you cannot pay for goods or services with friendship, can you?

[germhating_hypochondriac]

Not really. My friend Richie said he'd help me pay for my medicine, but I don't want him to do that.

You pay for stuff with money. Or you can use a credit card 'cause you're an adult.

[john_morris]

What is a credit card?

[resoluteandunyielding]

Here, specifically, I can't say. I haven't been here very long.

[ Lie. But impeccably told by a royally trained liar.
Especially when her husband is here. Her son. ]


But those these things of most imminent value to me would freedom, compassion, service.

[john_morris]

[He chuckles softly.]

I do apologize. I must admit that my words were very unclear as many have answered with such worldly truths.

Of course these are ultimately more valuable, however I was referring to material wealth. Even if they are of truly less value to the human soul as family, friends or freedom.

I assure you my interest is only one of curiosity for this time, partially due to my....

[He holds up his gloved hand.]

... my predicament. It seems an inconvenience with no real financial gain.
