[Today there’s a video by someone that a few might find familiar. He’s not really a fan of using the network, but it’s a bit necessary this time. However, for those that know him, he looks a bit off. Maybe it’s the grave expression on his face. Or the fact that he’s wearing something other than his usual Jedi robes. Perhaps the solemn tone in his voice that isn’t quite usual. Either way, it won’t be hard to figure out he’s not okay despite what he says.]

I apologize if I’ve worried anyone. 

But I’m here, and I’m all right.

Though I do hope that no one has done anything foolish because of me in the interim.

[There’s a seriousness in his voice at that last sentence that’s more like him, and in the next comment.]

Oh, and Bane. I would appreciate it if you would return my lightsaber.

[A deep sigh as she sees the post, flicking it on to video, and private, almost instantly.]

About time you got back. Took you time, didn't you? [She gave a tight smile that wasn't a good smile at all.]

I am very glad to see and hear you again, Master Kenobi.

[video | private]

[hadthehighground]

I returned Sunday evening actually, so...yes.

[He did take his time and with good reason.]

I’m glad to see you too, Ahsoka.

[He could see the surprise that he had returned Sunday and this is the first she's heard of it, or felt it. Then again, her connection to sensing those in the force has been removed, so it's not TOO much of a surprise.]

[She's just glad to see him back.]

Sunday? Been in hiding, have you? I really wouldn't blame you for that, all things considered.

You are okay though, yes?

[Thank fuck. Poe hasn't even been there, but he saw some of the aftermath on the network.]

not gonna lie, you're a sight for sore eyes

[He switches over to private.]

there uh
there were some pretty intense reactions to your disappearance

text. --- > private

[hadthehighground]

[He hadn’t really expected anything from Poe, but the sentiments are appreciated nonetheless.]

I saw them, yes. That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to publically announce my return. I can only hope that certain threats were not taken to action.

[No one wants to see the people from his galaxy go full Force Meltdown. Especially not him.]

unfortunately i have no idea if they were or not

leia might know

but yeah. thanks for the heads up. one less thing to worry about - if war hasn't broken out yet, with you back at least it's less likely to

[Maybe.]

you alright?

[video]

[carbonfrozen]

You still owe me those seventeen thousand credits, by the way. [Hi, Obi-wan, Han's happy to see you too.] I'll let Luke and Leia know you're back, stars know they had a rough time.

I'd ask if you were doing okay, but—[He lets his voice trail off, giving a little shrug. Is anyone okay after dying?]

[video]

[hadthehighground]

[Han at least gets a short, weak laugh out of Obi-Wan at that.]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

And well, I’m doing as well as one might expect I suppose. Though I can’t remember a bit of what happened.

[carbonfrozen]

Don't mention it.

[Seriously, don't, he has a rep to maintain.]

What, really? [Now Han looks worried, eyebrows drawing together.] I'd have thought dying would have stood out. What's the last thing you remember before that great big chunk of nothing?

private, video

[articulations]

Han.

[ Just this look. ]

private, video

[carbonfrozen]

It got him to laugh, didn't it?

[A huff.] Poor bastard, though. Apparently he doesn't remember the whole dying thing.

[articulations]

If anyone did anything "foolish" it was because emotions ran high. And there are people here who care a great deal for you.

[ She has to pause for a short moment, watching him through the comm. ]

But... Welcome back.

video; private

[hadthehighground]

Yes, I am aware of that. But... that’s no excuse to seek blood and revenge. It is not something I approve of or want.

[Hes mostly referring to Anakin in this regard of course.]

Thank you. How have your meditations been going?

[functusofficio]

It is so good to see you again, Obi-Wan. You don't seem yourself, though -- is there anything you require?

As for anything that may have been done while you were gone, that can be thought of later, once you are back to yourself.

[hadthehighground]

It’s good to see you too, Padme. ... And I believe my needs are being well enough. Kanan and Hera have been kind to allow me into their home while I recover.

Is Anakin at least doing well?

[dun_moch]

[Now is the crucial moment. Did Pucci's memory alterations work? Or were they undone by the resurrection process?

There is only one way to find out. Count Dooku appears on the video, looking politely sympathetic and most certainly not like someone who ordered a murder.]

Master Kenobi, you've returned to us. There are many who will be most relieved to see you again.

Video

[hadthehighground]

Yes, though I am certain you are not among them Count.

[Not exactly the clue Dooku was likely hoping for but they didn’t erase all his memories of the Clone Wars, so. You can stop pretending you care, sir.]

[prophesiedone]

[What can he say? Losing Obi-Wan had hurt worse than he had ever imagined. The wound is still open - still raw - and he isn't sure what to do.]

...liar.

[Video; Private]

[hadthehighground]

[Well hello there, Anakin. It’s nice to see you too.]

What?

[Video | Private]

[faithfulson]

Ben, are...

[ There was so much he wanted to ask, and if he was okay almost came out first. But... no, of course he wasn't. No one would be okay after dying like that. ]

...I'm glad you're back.

[Video | Private]

[hadthehighground]

Hello Luke. I’m... sorry to have worried you.

[He had looked back and seen Luke’s network post.]

[foralways]

[As her face flickers into view, her expression is a strange mix of worry and relief--two sides of the same coin, diametrically opposed.]

Obi-wan...It is good to see you again. [A tight smile.]

I would hope you would understand how your....disappearance would cause some to react in "foolish" ways.

[A pause.]

Are you certain you are all right?

Video; Private

[hadthehighground]

Satine...

[Now there is a sight for sore eyes. Obi-Wan’s expression immediately softens to the point that he’s almost smiling. He was glad to see her, and it showed.]

Well... yes. Unfortunately, I do understand.

[He understands what Anakin might have done due to his poor reaction to his old master’s disappearance. Something that wasn’t looking forward to hearing about.]

Physically, I’m well, my dear. ... But, I’m afraid I’ve lost my connection to the Force. As well as any recollection of what happened.

[Video]

[cadbane]

I don't have it.

[His tone is curt and seemingly tense.]

[Video]

[hadthehighground]

[Well that’s... interesting.]

You sound disappointed.
