[Video] Introduction!

[hadthehighground]

[The face of a man who is pushing forty appears on the network this evening. Casually stroking his beard thoughtfully as he activated his devise for the first time. His brows raising slightly as he realizes it’s broadcasting.]

Oh, hello there.

This is certainly no holo emitter is it?

[His voice sounds as tired as he looks but he carefully keeps his tone neutral.]

I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Ben if that’s easier.

[He has already gotten some strange looks for his exotic sounding name from the locals here in Maurtia Falls.]

Could someone explain to me what “Performance Hypnosis” is exactly?

[Its his assigned job you see and while he knows what hypnosis is, the performance part he’s not really clear on.]

[ Well you're... not as old as Han said you were. ]

The famous Obi-Wan Kenobi, at last.

[ How is this going to tip the balance of light and dark in this place? Lando's making popcorn. ]

If "Performance Hypnosis" has to do with the job they assigned you, you can just forget it and do something that suits you better. They made me a dance instructor.

[hadthehighground]

Famous? I’m not sure how to take that.

[Though it’s true he was rather well known during the Clone Wars. If that’s the period he’s from. Or perhaps word has gotten around about him some other way. It was hard to say. Which made it a bit unsettling. There were far too many people here already he didn’t know who knew him.]

Well, unless you have any suggestions, it will have to do for the moment.

[bespin]

Or should I say, infamous? Though, I think, everything I know of you for, you haven't actually done yet.

[ Lando wouldn't expect Obi-Wan to know him, seeing as he never actually met the old Jedi. ]

Most any native business would be happy to hire an imPort, though I might suggest you stay out of Maurtia Falls.

[hadthehighground]

Ah, another from my future then.

[Though he has to wonder what he’s done in the future to make him so infamous. He’s afraid to ask.]

It’s a bit late for that. Maurtia Falls is where they decided to put me.

[bespin]

Bad luck, then. But hey, if you ever decide to move, give me a call. I own and operate a moving firm for imPorts, Ugnaught Moving Company. We move your possessions from one imPort city to another, no matter how much or how little you've got.

[hadthehighground]

I appreciate the offer, but as you may know, Jedi don't have possessions.

[He's proooobably not going to need your services Lando. Sorry.]

[bespin]

I'm afraid I don't know. [ His expression turns slightly somber. ] By my time, you Jedi were only stories.

[hadthehighground]

Ah, yes. I have heard the Empire has tried to erase us from history.

[Which only adds on to the sorrow for what happened to them. No one even remembers them.]

Though somehow you know about me?

[bespin]

Through a friend. Some old man named Ben Kenobi and this kid Luke Skywalker hired his ship to get them to Alderaan.

[hadthehighground]

[Wait... he’s heard brief mention of this story from someone else already.]

Your friend wouldn’t be a Han Solo, would he?

[bespin]

That's the one. Why, he's not bothering you, is he?

[hadthehighground]

Not at all.

[Han Solo seems harmless enough.]

But he did mention something similar.

[bespin]

He's still bugging you for his payment, isn't he.

[ Lando doesn't even need to go look at the other responses to this post. He just knows Han that well. ]

[hadthehighground]

Still isnt the word as I have 20 years yet before I hire him.

[That would be a yes.]

[bespin]

Don't let him get to you. He's a good guy. Stickler for money, but then most smugglers are.

[hadthehighground]

Indeed, and I have certainly dealt with my fair share of scoundrels. Besides, if he’s a friend of Luke’s I see no reason to worry.
