(01 ☀ Open) A disturbance in the Force

Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi and YOU c:
Setting: Dormitory floor 2, morning-ish
Format: Action brackets
Summary: Obi-Wan deals with (the seeming) destruction of his universe AKA Jedi Trauma Time
Warnings: No warnings (as of yet???)



Just outside his room (dormitory floor two)

[There's something wrong about this place. Very wrong.

This is the only explanation that Obi-Wan can begin to pull together in the face of what feels like the complete and utter destruction of his entire universe.

At first, the gaping sense of nothing in the Force is almost too much to bear. There is no physical pain, and yet the sensation of losing the connection to his universe is so much more than any of the injuries he's ever experienced. It's as though the world itself has fallen out from under his feet and left him stumbling and disoriented. Suddenly winded, the Jedi shoots out a hand to catch himself on the door frame leading into his dormitory room, barely managing to keep himself from sinking to his knees.

It takes a few moments for Obi-Wan to catch his breath, but eventually he rights himself and shifts away from door frame. Unimaginable loss pulses through him as he struggles out into the hallway. Once outside, he closes his eyes and reaches through the Tower's Force presence to prove to himself that there is, indeed, a floor under his feet and that everything isn't as utterly and completely gone as it feels.

To his great relief, he immediately feels Force energy leaping out at him from the Tower's very walls. Energies of the many beings in the tower swirl about, and through him. Reconnecting him. He breathes in again and exhales smoothly, letting the life all around him fill him with strength.

When the dizziness finally fades, he opens his eyes again and takes in the hallway ahead of him.

What he feels seems impossible ––should be impossible–– which is, happily, usually the sign that one has encountered a phenomenon in the Force. He's fallen into memories during meditation and been deceived by the Force before, so why not now?

He can only hope.

Because the alternative is too terrible to even begin to conceive of.]

Jabiim, [she says faintly, trying to recover and mostly failing.] Right. I think Xander would have a fit if he were here.

[But he's not, and the thought sobers her abruptly. Willow shakes her head to clear it.] What do you know about dimensions?
guiltapalooza: (☆ hmmmm)

no Ewan... just say no to the 80's...

They might be difficult to traverse, but the guys running the tower manage it just fine. We're all from different ones. And times. And so forth.

It's kind of complicated, but... Where I'm from? Voyager 1 hasn't even left the solar system yet. We don't have anything like what you do.

[Watch her conveniently leave out how she knows what his dimension has. One thing at a time.]

Oh yeah, [she says with confidence.] I'm pretty familiar with illusions, and I've checked up, down, and sideways. All real. Though they've used illusions to trick us before, so don't get too comfortable.

It all seems implausible to me, too, considering the power expenditure they'd have to be going through. But it's a little hard to deny given how long it's been going on.
