So... My good friend Seren Lyall and I have recently gotten back into the Star Wars universe. (It's been years since I've seen the movies. I used to be able to name all the species, most planets, even the different droids! But those intervening years have stolen some of that from me... :/) Anakin Skywalker, in the original Saga, was unfortunately my absolute *least* favorite character, but in The Clone Wars series, he quickly became my favorite. Obi-Wan's just always been awesome. Seren and I (I don't really remember exactly how it happened, but) have been RPing Obi-Wan and Anakin from The Clone Wars in our daily lives. This has led to some strange scenarios, since our natural personalities both blend really well with the characters we are and are prominent through them, adding some fun quirks to the characters. I'm not going to tell you which of us is which character; see if you can figure it out!

Obviously, these are only *inspired* by real life. Though I do have to say, being able to use the Force on a daily basis would be SO helpful!

This was something that happened the first day.

Obi-Wan sat at the supper table across from his former Padawan as Anakin recounted his latest adventure –or misadventure- with Klajh Ruun, a newly graduated Jedi Knight. The young Rodian was definitely green – metaphorically as well as physically- and a real stickler for rules. So when the Council had originally told the past Master and Padawan duo that Anakin would accompany Klajh on his first mission as a Knight while Obi-Wan accompanied Bail Organa to Kashyyyk for negotiations with the Wookiees, it was a real struggle for both of them to keep the incredulous guffawing that bubbled inside from escaping. And the young Rodian had indeed been caught off-guard by Anakin's… uncouth methods.

Anakin gasped, trying to replace the oxygen he had lost by laughing so hard. "Then-" he could not keep in another bark of laughter, "then I just jumped out of the Gunship! Before it landed, straight onto the back of the tank! Oh, Force, I didn't think his eyes could get that big!" Neither man could hold back the full, loud, deep-belly laughter any longer, gaining them looks from the other occupants of the mess hall – some were judgmental, some amused, and some people were laughing along, because two uncontrollably laughing Jedi was not an everyday sight.

Finally, several minutes later, the two had mostly calmed down, though they were still chuckling sporadically. Obi-Wan ran a hand down his face, wiping away the mirthful tears running from his eyes. He looked back up at Anakin, whose face had become a pained grimace. The sight was so sudden and unexpected that Obi-Wan did not know whether to laugh again or be concerned. Concern quickly won out. "Anakin, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Anakin met his gaze, embarrassment evident in the younger man's eyes. "Heh. Well, my breakfast was really hot this morning, but I didn't have much time-"

"You mean you were late again."

Anakin stuck his tongue out at the Jedi Master, then grimaced again.

Obi-Wan tried to hold back fresh laughter. "You burned your mouth, didn't you? And now it hurts to eat anything?" Anakin nodded glumly.

Loud laughter rang out anew from the ginger Jedi, earning Obi-Wan a sour look from Anakin before he gave up and laughed along.


Thoughts? Can you guess who's who yet? More to come!
