[ Anakin is sitting on a barrel, it looks like it's painted entirely blue. He's in a course coverall, and there's many different dripples and dabs of paint in various colors. White and blue are the most featured, then black and grey. But there is some yellow and red sneaking in there. There's a fleck of the same blue on Anakin's jaw, and he looks a bit sweaty. ]

When we arrive here, we are assigned a city, an apartment, a job. How many of you have kept those arrangements? What made you change them? If you didn't change them, why not?

[ He rolled his shoulders back, and twisted a little, stretching his back out. ]

I know there's a fair few of us with lightsabers. I'd like to get a bit of a dueling club together, but first we need to hold some classes. So anyone who is Force Sensative and wants to join in, let me know. It can be privately. But I will be holding some basic safety classes first to make sure everyone leaves with everything they brought with them still attached.

I moved to a different apartment to live with someone. And I changed my job because the one given me required skills I didn't have.

They wanted me to scare people at a scare house and I'm no good at that.

Re: [Video]

[kraythero]

Did they make it difficult for you? Or was it simply filling out paperwork?

I can see how some people wouldn't be good at a job like that. That takes a talent for acting and it's something you have to practice at.

Re: [Video]

[anthropophagite]

I only filled out the paperwork. They didn't really care even though I even changed cities.

[ kaneki nods, with a shy smile ] Exactly. I'm more of a quiet person, too, so I'd rather work somewhere less... eventful.

permavid

[kraythero]

Which is good.

[ He nods, the barrel tricks a little. ]

I'm not but I'd be more comfortable covered in engine grease than what they require for 'business' clothes.

[anthropophagite]

What is your job, currently? They usually give imPorts really weird jobs, it seems.

[kraythero]

Selling playground equipment. Like you'd have in a yard or home gym.

[anthropophagite]

Ah- I suppose not everyone would be excited about such job.

[kraythero]

It's actually fun sometimes, I mean - you'd be surprised how much fun it is to get kids playing, or even adults. And it's easy to sell then, too. But it's...boring too? I'd rather be putting them together or designing them than selling them.

[anthropophagite]

Perhaps you can ask them to do that? Kind of like a promotion.

[kraythero]

Designing is one of those things they require degrees for, and they have a fully staffed construction team. Plus, not that I mind it, it's traveling between Norah and Heropa for work. A small commute by Coruscant standards but I think I'd like to see how I like working close to home.

[anthropophagite]

Ah, i understand. Well, you can always try to work with engines, even as a part-time. Like at a car's shop.

... I don't know what Coruscant is, though.

[kraythero]

Yeah, that's a place to start anyway.

Coruscant is the planet I'm from.

[anthropophagite]

Oh, I see. Is it very different from Earth?

[kraythero]

Oh yes. For one, it's one entire city on the entire planet. It's not like this place, anything, not durasteel is an enclosed garden. Everything are towers, super skyscrapers as they are called here.

[anthropophagite]

O-oh. That sounds overwhelming. I thought Tokyo was big, but that's something else.

[kraythero]

It's the center of the Galatic Republic, so yeah it's. A lot. I like this place, with woods and parks. It's nice. There's most of Coruscant that never sees sunlight, ever.

[anthropophagite]

[ galactic repu-

Oh! That's right, Luciana-San mentioned something before:]

You are one of the imPorts who was able to travel through the galaxy, rather than just being on one single planet, right? [ honestly, he thinks that's amazing ]

You most likely saw places similar to this one.

[kraythero]

Yeah. And yeah I've kicked off a few. Mostly on the Outer Rim and not generally under pleasant circumstances.

[anthropophagite]

Er- what sort of circumstances, if I may ask?

[kraythero]

There's a civil war right now. The Jedi have been tasked with leading the Grand Army of the Republic during the War.

[anthropophagite]

[ Civil War within a whole galaxy sounds like a huuuuuuge nightmare]

I'm sorry. I can't imagine how a war on that scale would be, but sounds awful.

Who are the Jedi?

[kraythero]

Jedi are supposed to be peacekeepers and scholars of The Force. It's a type of energy all living beings are connected to. From the most advanced sentient species to single celled plants and microbes. We study and use it and often act as negotiators in large scale conflict, peacekeepers in times of conflict, and escorts/bodyguards to government officials in times crisis.

And yeah it's pretty damn awful.

[anthropophagite]

[ oh. Maybe something like qi. Not that... Kaneki is the type of person to believe in vital force like that, but he is talking to someone who travels across their galaxy so he is going to accept it's a thing.

The Force, hm.]

I see... You are a Jedi too, then? How do you use it?

[kraythero]

I am a Jedi, a Jedi Knight which means I've completed my apprenticeship and am on my own.

I sense thinks around me, generally before they happen which makes me an excellent pilot - it was the first manifestation of the Force in my case. Also since it's been a lot of combat, to make me faster, stronger, leap and jump further and higher. To slow down and cushion fails, or as a shield. Generally as telekinesis to give me a third and forth hand while working on something.

[anthropophagite]

[ oh it's like...] Rey-San was the same... [ back in that world. She had sort of telepathy too, if he remembers correctly.

But Kaneki snaps out of his thoughts shaking his head] Ah, I'm sorry for all these questions - I didn't mean to pry!
