FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Obi-Wan Kenobi
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: An announcement, and a thought-experiment
WHEN: After having resolved the Leliana/Assassination plot
NOTES: n/a

This is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I apologize for the delay in doing so, but I'd like to make an announcement; I've been appointed as the liason for the Rifter population.

For this reason, if you have a concern about a particular Rifter which cannot be peacefully resolved on your own, or if any Rifter has need of information, or support, please don't hesitate to contact me. I know we may not seem like any kind of cohesive group, but you aren't alone. Please, try to remember that.

[He clears his throat, then and continues.]

As for the rest of you, I have a question. Nothing too serious, just a little... oh, call it a thought-exercise: I first heard this one as a child.

If your house was on fire, what's the first thing you'd take out of it?

You're breaking my heart.

[obi_wanmanshow]

Turnabout is fair play. You started it.

[eviscerates]

Oh, the name? No, I've had much worse nicknames. Your periwinkle rejection is what hurts, Master Kenobi.

[obi_wanmanshow]

I'm sure you'll recover, somehow.

[eviscerates]

I dunno. ( light, airy, not quite singsong. with a certain amount of amusement, ) Too bad I can't report you to the Rifter Liason for being mean.

( more seriously, ) No, honestly, I think you'll do a good job. If you ever need a hand with anything I promise not to be annoying.

[obi_wanmanshow]

If petty name-calling is all I have to deal with, I'll be grateful.

You know, I actually believe you would? [Be annoying, that is, even in the context of deadly danger.] I will ask, if I need help. I promise you.

[eviscerates]

Here's hoping, anyway. I'm sure a catastrophe or two is on the cards, but I have every faith in you.

( Ruby laughs a bit, not quite sheepish. ) Maybe it can be part of your tactics.
