What?

No. I'm out here.

Yeay! You're still here. Or boo? I donno. To be honest, I think the apocalyps has happened and that's not something to celebrate.

Some day you'll get my references.

Probably not.

You don't remember any of this?

Wait, should I? Has this happened before?

Not exactly like this, not that I remember.

But I recognize the droids from my memories. Some of those memories were right around the time I met you.

Oh, so these are right around the corner for me.

Are you safe? Do you need help? Do you know how to deal with these droids?

I am safe, and I know how.

Do you know how?

[ He is... legitimately playful and happy, but the question is an important precursor to what he wants to ask. ]

My memories of the droids I worked on, on Tatooine, were usually vulnerable to blasters.

So I'm pretty sure I know how to deal with them.

[He's forgotten about his lightsaber.]

I just need to make a plan to take a few blasters off some of these droids.

You could probably use the lightsaber you have to get a less effective and less civilized weapon from one them....

Wait- what are the less civilized weapons?

Blasters. The things the droids are armed with.

I'm sorry, a laser sword that can cut someone in half is civilized?

But a blaster that just shoots holes in someone is uncivilized?

The sword is elegant.

What?

There is no civilized way to kill someone.

They are both uncivilized.

First of all, they are robots.

Secondly, if you're going to kill someone you can do it with style.

You need to learn to get creative with a gun.

Or I can just use my laser sword.

Fine, suit yourself, sword snob.

I intend to, you inelegant dork.

Excuse you, I'll just be over here, being versitle as fuck.

Fucking isn't versatile, Anakin.

A person learns to get creative when they have only one hand.

As long as you have a dick, it's not that innovative.

You can use more than a dick in sex, Ben.

I know. You can also use lips, teeth, tongues, fingers, feet, knees, elbows, handcuffs, and gags.

That is an oddly specific list.

Random selection from a wide variety of specific options. I could go on. I'm not going to. I'm going to go be elegant in dispatching droids.

Okay, Ben.

Where do I meet you?

Use the Force, Anakin.

[ He sends an address with that, though. ]

Use the Force? Anakin rolled his eyes and almost left his apartment without taking his lightsaber. He doubled back for it.

Then he found a truck big enough worth hotwiring and headed towards the address Ben had given him.

He found that it was easy to mow down the majority of these droids either with the grill of the truck or holding his lightsaber out the window. He just had to avoid the tanks and larger droids.

He located Ben easily enough, coming to a screeching halt a few feet away from him.

"Elegant my ass," he called out the diver side window. Not the most fair assessment, Ben was handling the weapon easily enough. The two men just had different styles.

"Your ass was definitely more elegant than that display!" He is handling his weapon fairly well though he is going to be so, so, sore when this is over.

He got into the passenger side door anyway and immediately put the window down. "I'll give you points for creativity, though. Partial points. Full points for remembering to bring your light saber."

"I almost forgot it," Anakin said.

"Where are we going?" In the fray? Where people needed them? Or just to aimlessly?

"We should probably get supplies."

"Why would we start getting supplies on our adventure now? We can just spend the entire night starving." There's a grin with that but - "Let's head toward people. Help who we can, grab supplies as we go."

Anakin shifted the truck into drive and floored it. It was good to be behind the wheel of a truck- any vehicle again. He hadn't driven in almost three years- no longer than that because he didn't have an Italian license when he was stationed over there.

"You know where people are? If you spot a pharmacy, we stop, okay?"

"Only some of them. Pharmacy is a good idea. Take a left at the next intersection. I'll get us to one." He hoped. It was worth a shot.

Please don't be legend! I have enough problems without being in a zombie movie! Especially since focus testing will probably make the one that dies first!

...but yeah, there really isn't anyone else, huh.

I think in this case you'd be turned into a robot.

Is it just, you know, us Different - let's come up with a new name for us.

...Robo-Lisa might be cool, yeah? I get lasers, and I bet I don't have to worry about forgetting my songs ever.

I haven't seen anyone else. But I've been too spooked to post about it in case nobody answers me. [Well, at least she's honest. She's trying hard not to let it come across in her voice, though.] And if you figure out something else, I'm all ears. I haven't come up with anything better.
