[ There's a faint sound of wind in the background of his broadcast, as if he's sitting somewhere up high. ]

Hello. Again. [ Oof, okay, not the strongest start. ] I'm Anakin Solo, a knight of the Jedi Order, at your service. I sort of remember being here before, and I wanted to thank everyone who helped me out.

They offered me a bed at the orphanage, but I don't want to take it from someone who might need it.
How does housing work here, exactly? I don't mind sleeping outside, but that doesn't seem wise in the long run.

[ A pause. ]

By the way, I don't remember the sky being like this before-- is this normal? As normal as anything is here, I mean.

[ Another pause. He's clearly not in his element. ]

Thanks again.

[ The feed ends. ]


( ooc: let me know if you want to keep his tdm thread! i'm cool either way. )

You know, that's a great sentiment to have. I can understand that, completely.

[If the people you care about are with you, you'll be fine anywhere.]

A lot of things about this place are like that. They don't quite make sense - and we don't know how to explain them.

You just kind of roll with it, after a while.

[ Unfortunately, he doesn't have that here. The closest thing to actual family he has is his uncle, who is several decades too young.

He tries not to think about it too much. He tries to be grateful for whatever he does have. ]

I guess that's all you can do, to save your sanity. [ Wryly: ] Any other sanity-saving tips? I get the feeling I'll need them.

[shiro2hero]

Find something that grounds you. Or something to focus on.

I volunteer at the orphanage a lot, for example. Check in on people I know... do a workout routine.

[ It sounds like settling into a prison. It's good advice, but it really hits home that he's not going back any time soon, if ever.

Chin up, Solo. Keep going. ]

What sort of help does the orphanage need?

[ He can, at least, start doing good. Keep himself tied to his roots as a Jedi and as a son of Han and Leia. ]

[shiro2hero]

Any kind they can get. Looking after the kids, cleaning, laundry... cooking.

I'm no help in that last one, so I'm always on the look out for anyone who might be.

[He is a Disaster, to be more accurate.]

[hopesparks]

I could probably follow a recipe, but no promises that the food would be more than average.

[ He tried experimenting making rations taste more interesting. His attempts weren't always successful. ]

[shiro2hero]

That's more than good enough.

I mean it. No one needs anything fancy, just decent food. Which... I can't do, for some reason.

[hopesparks]

Alright. Once I get settled in, I'll come by and "audition."

[shiro2hero]

Don't burn water and you'll pass with flying colors.

[hopesparks]

[ He's joking... right? ]

I'll do my best.

[shiro2hero]

Then you'll do great.
