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?

Did you ever have a house, where you're from? Possessions there?

[obi_wanmanshow]

No. I grew up in a-- a temple complex. I've slept in houses, but not often. Jedi travel, we rarely have the luxury of a permanent residence, or more possessions than we can easily carry with us.

[justice_is_blond]

There are similarities there with my own experience. I've never had much in the way of possessions.

[obi_wanmanshow]

You know, perhaps I could go for my weapon. I can't easily replace it, given the-- well, the technological limitations, of Thedas. But then, I'm rarely so far from it that I have to go back anywhere to get it.

[justice_is_blond]

Technological limitations? What is your weapon?

[obi_wanmanshow]

It's a lightsaber, a Jedi weapon. It came through with me, when I arrived, if that gives you any indication for how well I keep ahold of it.

I've heard it mistaken for a Knight-enchanter's blade, if that helps you imagine it. But it's not the same thing, really.

[justice_is_blond]

It helps a little. What's the difference?

[obi_wanmanshow]

There are quite a few. I'd prefer not to discuss the details so publicly.

[justice_is_blond]

Perhaps I'll see it someday, then.

[obi_wanmanshow]

...would you like to?

[justice_is_blond]

I would. I'm fascinated with many of the variations between worlds, though some of them are confusing.
