Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

True enough.

Ah, I almost forgot. I'm organizing an expedition to go into one of the terraformers. Your skills would be useful, if you want to come.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

My skills in particular?

[ He's curious to see how Kirk will pitch it. ]

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

Your telekinesis - like what you did in the arena that day. We don't know what we'll find, and having some capable of moving objects or opening doors from a distance could be useful. Not to mention such a method might be gentler on the terraformer than other aggressive methods we might have to employ. I want to explore the thing, after all, not bring it crashing down.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

I can certainly help in that area.

[ He doesn't see the need to correct the telekinesis remark. It's hardly important. ] I should be able to hold it without much of an issue.

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

The help would be much appreciated, Obi-Wan. I don't honestly expect a lot of trouble, but you never know on these things.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

That is often the thing we do know. That things will go wrong at a moment's notice.

[ voice ]

[universal_charm]

We have a term for that where I'm from - Murphy's Law. Which is exactly why your presence would be much appreciated.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

How could something like that be a law? How does it break then?

[ Do people get incarcerated for it??? ]

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He laughed softly. ]}

Murphy's Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

It just means to never expect anything to go exactly as you plan for it too.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

[ So like. Anakin then. That is literally just Anakin ]

I think I have a better idea of it now.

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Well, he hadn't met Anakin, so he couldn't say, but whatever works for you, Obi. ]}

Personal experience with it one to many times?

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Dryly. ]

Personal experience with someone who embodies the role.

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

Hmm, and for once it isn't me. That's a first.

_{[ He gives a laugh. Yes. He is well aware of the trouble his shenanigans cause. ]}

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

You are very similar to Anakin in many respects.

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

After that bit with Murphy's Law, I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

Well, there's no one I'd prefer to have at my side.

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He smiled a bit. ]}

Compliment, then, with a healthy dose of truth.

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

Having him by my side also means I can keep an eye on him.

Re: [ voice ]

[universal_charm]

Should I put the fleet on red alert any time he's not?

_{[ He's teasing, Obi. ]}

Re: [ voice ]

[beardstrokes]

No need. He's come a long way. He doesn't need me all that much anymore.
