Hello, yes this is Master Kenobi.

It sounds like you already have a plan. I'm sure if you tell me, I'll be happy to help, however I can. We could certainly all use some levity, given the recent... events. At Adamant.

What did you have in mind, Miss Ruby?

Master Kenobi, right— ( a slightly audible wince. ) Sorry about that.

Yeah... Adamant. The entire Approach, basically.

( and she shakes herself. ) Great, though, thank you. Basically the idea is that Ad— that Councilor LeBlanc and her students prepare a number of ice fortresses, and each one has a special flag. The goal of the exercise is to try and capture as many flags as possible, while also having a giant snow fight. Randomised teams, No weapons, no powers and stuff in general once it's all been set up, just... slightly ridiculous fun. Whatever team has the most flags at the end is the winner. I haven't thought of potential prize yet, if we need one, but I'm working on it.

Ruby, was it? Please, relax, it's alright.

Obi-Wan is my name. And I'm sure Adelaide wouldn't be too upset to hear you using hers, if she's put you to task setting up a children's snow-games. Unless these snow-games are to be played in all of our ah... official capacities?

It's a good idea. Should we have them as an open field, or would you prefer the invitations be more personal in nature?

No, Adelaide is used to me calling her a number of ridiculous things, I was just... grasping for a level of professionalism. ( Her tone is self-deprecating and amused. ) And I just know it's... well, weird being a rifter, I didn't want to deny you of a respectful title by just being clumsy with my words.

( That aside, she hums thoughtfully. )

I think we can be childish and mature responsible adults simultaneously, if we try. It's going to be not so much Templars and mages and rifters as... hopefully, at least, a bunch of people getting together to have fun. Mixed up teams, maybe with set team leaders, but other than that anyone who wants in just needs to sign up, and then I'll make up the teams by pulling names out of a hat. I figure the more the merrier, you know?

But I was going to ask if you'd like to be a team leader. You get to pick a colour, and everything. I have red, Adelaide has violet. It's...

... it's pretty childish, yeah.

[Obi-Wan reflects upon the plight of the Rifters and feels a great surge of gratitude for people like Ruby, who put aside their own embarrassment for the sake of others. Sometimes, the courage to open oneself to another can be much more frightening than the courage it takes to risk merely bodily harm.

There is a brief pause.]

Blue.

Although I warn you, there'll be no mercy for your dastardly, red-bearing fiends.

Blue it is. Do you favour a light blue or a dark blue?

( These are the important questions. And, with a surprised laugh— )

That's fine. The superior Red Team doesn't need your Blue sympathy.

Light, please.

[Is there any other answer?]

Do you have an announcement already planned, then?

Cool, so that iiis— ( the words are oddly dragged out in that particular way that comes when you are writing something down as you say it, )

Mas-ter Kenobi with Team Periwinkle.

Awesome.

( Ruby no )

Uh, well, first I need to ask the Mage Council to give me some help putting it together. Partly because Adelaide didn't actually expect me to go through with it so it needs to be as official as possible, and partly because it'd be unfair to leave all the work on her.

Periwinkle.

[He is affronted! Shocked! How dare you no-- indeed, how very dare you. Brat.]

May I recommend contacting a rifter named Araceli, somewhat recently connected with a local Vashoth, Korrin Ataash? She's been here longer than most, and has some connections, something about a meeting called some time before my own arrival. If she's able and willing to help, the more hands the better, yes? I suspect the mage-council might have more work than to dedicate any significant manpower to... Oh, let's call them Rifter morale-building exercises.

It's a beautiful shade. But, I mean, if you're not a fan of Periwinkle I could think of something else. Maybe... Celeste? Columbia?

( see this is what happens when you're nice to Ruby Lucas
she is terrible )

I've spoken with both of them before, actually. Only once with Araceli, but Korrin was one of the first people I met here. That's a great idea, I'll get in touch with her for sure.

( and a huff of laughter. )

So far Knight-Commander Norrington and Warden-Constable Blackwall seem to be on side too, so it won't look like a purely rifter focused indulgence, but all the support I can get sounds like a good plan. I'm very committed to snow fights.

If you please, yes.

[Periwinkle indeed.]

...And that's good to hear. It's a good plan, mixing the groups thoroughly. We all have to learn to trust one another sometime, and a snow war may be just the stakes we need.

Team Baby Blue, maybe?

( 8D )

Exactly. It's less a snow fight and more like a... bro fight.

( No that doesn't work. In fact: ) That didn't sound as good as I hoped it would.

[With laughter in his voice]

Let me know if you'd like anything more from me. Any way I can help.

I will, for sure. And likewise, if you ever need anything, just let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help.
