[for kitty] AUs Eat Brainz
[ooc: a long time ago in a state far away, shadowed_kat's mun and I created an alternate universe that we dragged into wherein somehow Kitty Pryde and Anakin Skywalker meet and fall for each other and...er, the rest is history. Some of that history can be found at au_eats_brains. Anyway, that was years ago, literally. We wanted to resurrect it. So we're starting anew with the same idea. Let's see what happens. :)]
As he watched the light of hyperspace swirling around outside his viewport, Anakin couldn't help but wonder if this mission was more than it seemed. He'd been Obi-Wan's padawn for nearly ten years now, after all. And he knew he was ready for the trials, it would be about time the Masters noticed it too.
So sending him on a solo mission without his Master along to oversee sounded like the sort of thing that would be the makings of a Trial. Though it hadn't sounded like a particularly difficult mission when he'd been told about it. The planet he was heading toward, Varonat out on the Outer Rim, was having some issue between the (more or less) indigenous natives and the humans who had settled there a couple of centuries ago. They'd requested Jedi mediation.
Of course, Anakin still wasn't sure why he was being sent and not Obi-Wan. Supposedly his Master was needed elsewhere but he thought his impatience with politics and diplomacy would have not made him a good fit for this sort of-...
...of course, that would be the point if this were a Trial. Or even an object lesson. Anakin made a face at his reflection in the viewport, of course they couldn't be straightforward abou it.
Before he had any more time to ruminate, a light started flashing on his instrument panel, notifying him that he was about to drop out of hyperspace. Once returned to realspace, it didn't take long for Anakin to receive clearance to land at the small spaceport in the larger of the two human cities on Varonat. Not much longer following that and the young Jedi was walking the streets of the city, trying to get a feel for its mood. He'd arrived early enough to have time to kill before meeting with the representatives from the opposing sides in the dispute.
