Man, fuck those CENTCOM assholes!

[He lets out a huff. There is a noise of a bobcat yowling] Hey, girl. Good to see ya again. [A short silence as he communicates to his omen] The fuck you mean it's been days? How long's it been?

All right. Fuck. So, uh, anybody make wishes durin' that festival? They... kinda work. I donno if anyone tried to contact me, but I was out of commission for a while. I woke up in some weird shit that I'm bringing to the Sanctuary.

Any Hunters wanna fill me in on the latest monsters we gotta take down?

Jason? What happened, what do you mean your wish 'kinda' came true?

[he'll address other aspects of that but given he knows the gist of the wish in question this takes priority.]

[hearuthinking]

I don't know how else to explain it. I wished I could see Salim, know he was okay. And I did.

I saw all of 'em, Vik. We were back in the temple, right where I remember bein' before I got here. We blew up the vampires, got outta there, and eventually air support came to get us. Took 'em long enough for Salim to get away.

[He delivers all this in the same sort of professional tone one might give a report]

[mehanizovati]

You got your closure. [there's a beat before he says it, considering it all, coming out with that in a slightly relieved tone.

that's... really the wish answered. he doesn't consider himself particularly spiritual but he really has to wonder if ammy had anything to do with it.]

Well, now we must do this festival again next year. It apparently gets results.

[hearuthinking]

Yep. [And that's all he has to say about that until he finds something to punch. Good thing he's going to the Sanctuary first: that dummy will do the trick]

Guess it does. I'll have to put in another offering for Lady Amaterasu as thanks.

Wait, what do you mean the wishes “kinda work”? [ Sharon has a lot of questions but that’s the one she hits him with first. ]

[mehanizovati]

Find me at Sanctuary when you do show up, I want to hear more of all this. And see the 'weird shit.' [that's always fun.]

Oh, as for monsters there's been some odd ones from the sea. Not beasts as far as I've been able to tell, and difficult to look at. They upset the mind. [and then, dry,] A typical welcome back.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Dryly-] Central Command?

Uh. I do stuff at the Sanctuary sometimes. Do you need a psychic for your stuff? A Jedi, if you know what that is?

[hearuthinking]

Sure thing. I figured to drop it off with you, anyway.

Just the sort of welcome I expected.

[hearuthinking]

I made a wish durin' the festival, and not long after I was back home for a while.

[hearuthinking]

Yep.

Sure, I know Jedi. You one of Obi-wan's students?

[ezra_of_lothal]

[There's a barely noticeable beat of hesitation; since Obi-wan recently gained more memories, himself, a combination of being too unwell to be able or take up the role of teacher or being reluctant has left Ezra in uncertainty, in that aspect of their relationship.

But then the teenager smiles, warmly. Regardless of whether Master Kenobi currently sees himself as capable of guiding a padawan, Ezra has always looked up to him, anyway.]

I am. Also, I live with him.

At any rate, I'm no master, like he is, but I'm at your service, if I can help. My name's Ezra Bridger.

[hearuthinking]

Oh. [so very thankful this is just audio right now so he can make this sound casual] How's he doin'?

Ezra, nice to meet ya. My name's Jason. I met Obi-wan a while back; he told me a lot about what the Jedi do.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Carefully, lightly-] Better than he was, for a couple of months there.

I feel like we're still working out how to adapt what we can do, to act as Jedi here. But the work the Sanctuary is doing aligns well, so far!

[hearuthinking]

He told me. Not details, but that he had a rough time a while back.

From what I understand of the Jedi, the Sanctuary is a great place for ya. What was the phrase... "focus on the present moment".

[ezra_of_lothal]

[That Obi-wan is willing to talk to anyone about it, at all, is a good thing, in Ezra's book. As long as they don't turn around and use that openness to hurt Obi-wan, of course.

Ezra's grin gets even bigger.]

All my Jedi teachers have been big on that, yes. Not always easy.

[hearuthinking]

[He snorts amicably]

I hear ya. I can't even tell ya how many times I had to get my guys to focus.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[He nods, almost a small bow.]

Very important in battle, too.

[hearuthinking]

Anybody who ain't got their head screwed on durin' a fight is askin' to get their ass whooped.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[Ezra laughs.]

Well, now you're reminding me the captain who did a lot of my training as a soldier.

[hearuthinking]

That a good thing?

[ezra_of_lothal]

I trust Rex with my life. And with helping liberate my homeworld. So, yeah.

[hearuthinking]

Well, then, thanks, kid.

I'll be by the Sanctuary soon. You mind sharin' this stuff with my buddy Viktor? He might wanna do some science-y shit with it.

[fogsong]

Is that what you wished for? To go home?

[hearuthinking]

[He takes a breath] To see Salim again and know he's okay.

[ .. Chizuru is quiet for a moment after she hears this message. Slightly puzzled, for once. But then she softly speaks up. ]

Your.. wish was to be out of commission for a while..?

[ She assumes not, since that's an odd wish! But on the other hand, it sure is what his message is making it sound like to her. ]
