Hello, everyone! I thought you all might want to read this. It’s sort of early-version Selay’uu… sort of. For instance, no portals this time… Bummer. And it doesn’t even have a title, even in My Documents, aside from “random stupidity.”
Anyway, I hope you enjoy! 😛
Thnap.
Obi-Wan looked up from his book to shoot a fulminating glance at Katniss Everdeen, who was instantly recognizable (don’t ask me how). She was sitting on the other sofa, chewing gum. Erin was typing busily away on the computer, seemingly not noticing the invasion of her mind palace by a character she had only heard about, never met in person. Katniss took no notice of the dangerous look, but at least she didn’t snap her gum again. Obi-Wan went back to The Silmarillion. He had always felt an odd kinship with Glorfindel and Beren…
Thnap, pop. Obi-Wan tossed his book down on the coffee table (which was covered in loose sheets of paper covered with Erin’s writings) and glared at Katniss. Suddenly, her gaze snapped up to his, as if she hadn’t even been aware of his presence before. She grinned at him, unapologetically, and popped her gum again. Obi-Wan could feel himself blushing, but he was more annoyed than embarrassed by the interruption, dangerously near to flirting as it was. Of all the cheek! he thought. He scowled at her. Katniss actually had the gumption to look over her shoulder, then point to herself, mouthing the word, Me?
I thought that was abundantly clear, Obi-Wan thought. He wasn’t bothering to mute his body language, either. Snap, snap. Not again! Obi-Wan frowned and put a finger over his lips. Katniss looked at him, raising both her shoulders and her eyebrows.
“You and I have very different notions of quiet, my friend,” he grated, dangerously low. Katniss looked offended.
“What are you talking about? I can be quiet,” she hissed under her breath.
“Then stop popping your gum!”
“I’m not popping my gum!”
“Oh, what do you call it, then?”
“Don’t you dare use sarcasm with me, mister!”
“Go flirt with someone else!”
Their little tiff was interrupted by a quiet cough. Both characters turned to see Erin, who had spun in her swivel chair and was now watching them both, her expression indecipherable and her arms crossed across her chest.
“Obi-Wan, I need your help, please,” she said after a long moment. Shooting Katniss a dangerous glance, Obi-Wan straightened his tunic and marched stiffly to the author’s side. He dropped on one knee to survey the computer screen. “And Miss Everdeen—how’d you get in here?” Katniss shrugged and vanished, off to plague Midnight instead.
Well, that’s that. What do you think? Stupid, right? 😛
Thanks for reading, and God Bless!

That was actually rather funny. xD Though, having read THG, I think that an exchange between Obi-Wan and Katniss would turn out somewhat differently and possibly involve Obi-Wan telling Katniss to stop being so whiny because she sounds like Anakin. Still, I liked this a lot.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Yeah… I was just frustrated at the time, because siblings of mine were being pests. 😛 *bows* The author apologizes for defamation of an innocent character. 😛
sarahtps said:
Oh no, I don’t mind at all. Katniss is annoying. >.< I spend a lot of time wanting to smack her very hard. Sorry your sibs were being annoying.
erinkenobi2893 said:
😛 They do that all the time, I’m just about used to it by now. 😛
irisbloom5 said:
Very random and mindless, yes, but funny. 🙂
I agree with Sarahtps, it would have played out VERY differently.
But since you have no idea who Katniss is, you are forgiven for your portrayal of her. 😉
erinkenobi2893 said:
Jewel and Mom were both snapping their gum when this happened. 😛 ‘Nough said. 😛
irisbloom5 said:
Ah, that would explain that. ;-P
erinkenobi2893 said:
So annoying!!! I don’t chew gum much, myself.
coruscantbookshelf said:
Ahhh, gum-snapping, how we hate thee.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Indeed! I don’t even chew gum much.
PorterGirl said:
I really liked it. A little mindless stupidity is always a good thing 🙂 (although, actually, I don’t think this is stupid at all!)
erinkenobi2893 said:
🙂 I’m glad you think so. 😀
Professor VJ Duke said:
*laughing* I never liked Katniss! Pulling for Obi-Wan the whole way. I think he should have used his lightsaber.
erinkenobi2893 said:
I doubt he would. He should have used a mind trick on her to make her spit out the gum! >:-D
irisbloom5 said:
Ah, but if he had, she has a strong enough mind she’d spit it out AT HIM! ;-P
erinkenobi2893 said:
That may be true… But I believe I was talking to the Professor. ;-P
irisbloom5 said:
So? The Professor doesn’t mind… do you Professor? 😉
erinkenobi2893 said:
*face desks, repeatedly* You little flirt. 😛
proverbs31teen said:
I like it. I’ve never read the Hunger Games, so, yeah… But I like it. 😉
erinkenobi2893 said:
;-P I’m glad you do.
coruscantbookshelf said:
Meep meep meep. Oh so funny.
erinkenobi2893 said:
……
Sorry… did I offend you? :’-(
coruscantbookshelf said:
What? Oh, not remotely! Au contraire. I think it’s hilarious. Srsly.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Thanks… I was rather bemused by your comment. :-S
coruscantbookshelf said:
Oh. Sorry. meepmeep would be laughing. “hahaha” gets so boring.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Ohhh… I see. 😛 I haven’t heard that one before. 😛
coruscantbookshelf said:
I suspect I made it up. I should probably stop doing things like that.
erinkenobi2893 said:
It’s possible… Don’t stop! It’s cool! 😀
coruscantbookshelf said:
Like thrilleratin’ and unfivetunately?
erinkenobi2893 said:
^_^ Yes indeed! (I think “unfivetunately” was originally a part of Victor Borgia’s “inflationary language.” I don’t watch Borgia much, but my dad does. 😛 )
coruscantbookshelf said:
That said… well, I got it from my grandfather, who was a great fan, so… you’re probably right. Only it’s Borge, not Borgia. The Borgias were Spanish. He’s Danish. Slight difference.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Oh. Whoops. *blush* I misspell things like that all the time. Once I even misspelled “Skywalker.”
coruscantbookshelf said:
Whaat? Not possible. Now… Ae’enn Narshala, or even Kenobi, I can understand misspelling. But Skywalker’s practically English.
erinkenobi2893 said:
I was in a hurry and hit the wrong keys. :-S
coruscantbookshelf said:
That’s a typo, not a spelling mistake. A spelling mistake is when you do it in manuscript.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Well, I have been really dazed and out of it and wrote the letters in the wrong order. That mostly happened right after they took my wisdom teeth out and I was still a little crazy from the drugs.
coruscantbookshelf said:
Again, definitely not a spelling mistake. That would be like expecting said misspelled Skywalker to spell Chu’unthor correctly in the middle of a podrace. Or anywhere, actually.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Hmmm… you’re probably right.
coruscantbookshelf said:
Have you read GP Ch54 yet!? Wowee. baulding living up to her reputation with a vengeance.
erinkenobi2893 said:
Poor Obi-Wan. :’-( Who would’ve thought that he’d end up… 0_0 I guess it might be partially true that brilliant people are unstable on some level. But it was… 0_0
coruscantbookshelf said:
Ohhh… I was in agony. It was AWFUL!
erinkenobi2893 said:
Yeah. Self-harming?! It was disturbing. I think that there should have been a warning to up the rating for the chapter at the top. 0_0
coruscantbookshelf said:
Disturbing?! Holp. Still… I don’t think it was remotely OOC!
erinkenobi2893 said:
Yes, and that’s the scariest part. 0_0 Though, I should say this: after TPM, if Obi-Wan was suicidal… Anakin was his poison of choice. 0_0
coruscantbookshelf said:
True. 😦
erinkenobi2893 said:
😦 I should really send you the dark lullaby I wrote about the two of them. It’s kind of creepy and… oooh. I just thought that since Palpacreepy is doing Morgan singing Mordred’s Lullaby (sort of) to Anakin, I should add something about how helpless Obi-Wan feels. (Because, really, in the end I think Obi-Wan was just caught in the crossfire–like Padme. Since he tried, but it was just too little too late and he really didn’t know WHAT to do. Poor Obi-Wan.)
coruscantbookshelf said:
You really should. Better yet you should post a few of those! And the John-and-Sherlock scene.
erinkenobi2893 said:
oooh, yess!!! I think I already posted the “How to Save a Life” with John and Sherlock, though…
coruscantbookshelf said:
Oh yes, so you have. Silly me.
erinkenobi2893 said:
😉 It’s okay. 🙂
BTW, Iris and I are sharing her fanfiction account now. 😉
coruscantbookshelf said:
Okay, hint taken, I’ll go look.
erinkenobi2893 said:
I haven’t posted anything yet. I’m still working on it. Trying to get my debut piece up to standard and all… since Iris has been boasting. *head keyboard*
coruscantbookshelf said:
Iris? I thought you wrote that part. 🙂
erinkenobi2893 said:
No… Nothing I’ve written has gone up on there yet. She was boasting about my talents. *sigh*
coruscantbookshelf said:
Well… they’re boastable.
erinkenobi2893 said:
You’re just saying that. *puts head in hands*
coruscantbookshelf said:
Now you’re fishing for compliments.
erinkenobi2893 said:
No, I’m not… I’m serious… 0_0
coruscantbookshelf said:
I’m not even going to answer that.
erinkenobi2893 said:
People are flattering me, I’m not sure I can handle this…
coruscantbookshelf said:
Erin: The sincerest form of flattery is imitation. I use your background on Obi-Wan. I use your Shendi language and culture. How much more obvious does this need to be?
erinkenobi2893 said:
I’m freaking mental. *sigh* It’s not my fault. :-S
But thanks anyway… 😛
coruscantbookshelf said:
You’re welcome. You know that is the usual response to a compliment? Not, “Oh, no, I’m not”?
erinkenobi2893 said:
…… I’m not normal.
😛
