Outside MST3000 [Wednesday afternoon]

[sith_happened]

"Let's do something normal!" Anakin said in a voice that sounded nothing like Obi-Wan's, making a face as his lightsaber sliced through a kriffing flying eel. "Let's go see a movie! Nothing weird will be zooming around the island with their own kriffing anti-grav units trying to eat us or mate with us or whatever the frell these things want

Obi-Wan's eyebrow raised at her, even as he moved to combat more of his attackers. "Do you need some help with that?" he called.

"No thank you, I have currency to pay for my ticket," Jones replied with what looked like a grateful nod. A nearby eel spotted Jones and leapt at her face with a loud shriek. Jones caught it casually in her hand and crushed it without a thought. She then started going through her purse to find a tissue to clean her hand. "Are you going to the movie as well or merely defending this establishment?"

[saddeserthermit]

Poor Obi-Wan; politeness was his kryptonite.

"We had been aiming for the former, but we've unfortunately--" okay, it was a sarcastic unfortunately, "...become embroiled in the latter."

[wandering_stone]

"Well, I supposed I could offer some assistance," Jones said shouldering her purse. She grabbed another eel trying to attack her and crushed the anti-grav unit with her hand. " if we decrease their numbers sufficiently I can attend the later showing."

She grabbed another eel and flung it hard against the wall causing in rather large splat.

"When you say we.... Were you attending the movie with Mr. Skywalker?"

[saddeserthermit]

"Thank you," Obi-Wan said.

Politely.

"And yes. He was rather insistent on this one, I've no idea why."

He neatly sidestepped another eel attack.

[wandering_stone]

Jones on the other hand wasn't avoiding the attacks at all. In fact now she was just letting them attack her. It seemed easier than chasing them.

"It is good to see that you have overcome your initial hostility to each other," Jones noted. "Perhaps when this fracas has ended you can resume your date."

[saddeserthermit]

"I wouldn't call it a date, but an attempt to foster civility," Obi-Wan said. Because sigh.

He reached out and ripped an eel off Jones' arm with the Force. "Though I think the mood of civility may have soured because of the circumstances."

[wandering_stone]

Not a date? The internet may disagree with you Obi-Wan.

"I believe there is a later showing," Jones noted as she crushed another eel. "Assuming the theater is not likewise infested."

[saddeserthermit]

Obi-Wan had this wonderful, wonderful dream of a world where people weren't constantly speculating about his romantic life and lack thereof.

It'd been decades since he last lived in one.

"Will you be attending?" he asked politely, slicing through two eels' heads at once.

[wandering_stone]

Obi-Wan clearly had not met Jaye yet.

"Most likely," Jones replied. "Unless the eels prove to be too much of a distraction."

[saddeserthermit]

No; he'd only felt a strange, terrifying tremble in the Force shortly after radio went live after the picnic. He'd brushed that off.

"I would hope there's an end to them," he said, "Or this will get more irritating than it's worth."

[wandering_stone]

"They do prove to be distracting," Jones replied. "Perhaps this is a merely a diversion of a larger attacking force."

[saddeserthermit]

"I don't sense a greater force," Obi-Wan said, sidestepping a barrage of eels without having to look. "Just a large amount of mindlessly aggressive animals."

[wandering_stone]

"You have extra sensory perception?" Jones queried as she stepped into said barrage of eels and began to dispatch them. "How helpful."

[saddeserthermit]

"Indeed," Obi-Wan said, "Though I'm having the hardest time determining how many of the blasted creatures there are."

[wandering_stone]

"While the numbers are an item of concern, I wonder if we should concentrate on the origin of such creatures and their source of technology," Jones suggested.
