[ the feed turns on to show you a small child in white robes, looking like he got out of bed with tousled hair and sharp blue eyes. he seems to be looking around warily, his jaw tight. ]

So this is a kidnapping right? By one of those slavers?

[ he lets out a quiet breath like he was taught. gehren. he hoped she was safe. ]

Fine, whatever. Where is the closest space port?

[ Who is this sassy lost child. ]

Slavers didn't kidnap you. Honestly, I don't think anyone knows for sure how we get here.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan frowns. ]

That doesn't mean it's not slavers. And I fought some recently.

[hopesparks]

[ Anakin shakes his head. ] What brought us here was able to pull people from all over time and space and across realities.

Slavers wouldn't have left you alone.

[jedies]

I made them leave. They don't know how to deal with Jedi.

[facultative]

[Okay, Anakin is out. He doesn't want to deal with any more Jedi or Jedi adjacent people any more. This is not his problem.]

Neither do most other people here.

Contact Master Kenobi, he'll get you sorted.

[It's the word slavers that catches Lucius's attention, snapping like a bowstring. The reference to a "space port" lessens his alarm - that's something someone new or who's shed into no longer remembering Trench would talk about would say.

Still. One of the best things about Trench, possibly the best thing about Trench, is that for all them monsters here, it's lacking that type. And it had better stay that way.]

Have you seen slavers, or is that a guess?

[jedies]

I don't make things up.

Gehren and I ran into them when we were in the lowers levels of Coruscant.

[lludw]

[What's a Coruscant? A keep?]

I meant here, in Trench.

You know that's where you are, right?

[At this point, he expects the answer to be "no."]

[Have someone who's in Jedi style tabards, although they're burnt orange, not beige. Ezra smiles, warm and gentle, trying to cover his nerves.]

Obi-wan.

You're right, this was a kidnapping of sorts, but you're not in immediate danger.

Take a deep breath, and reach out with your feelings. There are other Jedi here.

[jedies]

[ the sight of those robes does settle him, a little. ]

There are? But I don't recognize them.

[ezra_of_lothal]

[The smile flickers with sympathy.]

No, you wouldn't. People end up here from other times and places. I know that sounds very strange.

You poor little dear! Are you hurt? [Snow can't stand anyone being hurt, but especially not children.]

Do you need someplace to stay?

[jedies]

[ she seems the most normal one so far. obi-wan remembers his manners. ]

No, thank you. I simply need directions to the space port.

[onebadapple]

I'm afraid I don't know where that is. Has someone given you directions yet?

[necroprince]

Would you believe they don't even have a spaceport? I had the same question when I landed and apparently they don't even have space travel. That's how backwater we are right now.

[jedies]

I didn't think it was that bad . . . how did I even get here without space ports?

( video | un: salvatore )

[prescind]

( this actually feels familiar considering he'd talked to another person who thought they were a child recently too. )

Afraid we don't have space ports.

[jedies]

So no travel outside of your planet? What about ships?

[abornfighter]

[She recognizes that username and oh my gosh, little Obi-Wan is adorable.]

There isn't a space port here. Or any slavers. Most people here would beat up slavers, or at least not cooperate with them.

[jedies]

That's . . . good to know.

[tealeafs]

[ .. huh.

Most people would probably think of the thing that kept changing people into children just the other month, but considering that it seemed to have passed already, there's no way Chizuru imagines this is someone who was already in this place turned younger.

Instead it seems like a new arrival. And how could she not want to help a young new arrival right away? ]

Um.. I'm not sure what a space port is, forgive me.. [ Something up in space, surely, but Chizuru has zero idea about space travel or anything of the sort. ] But this isn't a kidnapping. Or.. um, it's something that's a little like that, but also not at the same time..?

[ Okay, maybe she's not quite as reassuring as she intended to be. S-She's trying! ]

[jedies]

[ bluntly. ]

. . . So which is it?

[onerthes]

No, no kidnapping I assure. At least, not the traditional sort... But you won't find any space ports here. Just the old fashioned wooden ports.

For fishing vessels.

[She sighed and smiled. Was this a shedding thing, or a new arrival? She thought the account felt familiar but put it out of her mind.]

Are you safe and well for now?

[jedies]

I think so. Nothing has happened so far.
