[ah what was that about questions and not judging :V]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Alcohol? Ah, I'm afraid I couldn't say! I don't possess any myself at the moment...I do have a fair amount of tea, though, if perhaps that might also suffice?
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Of course, if you are in true need of only the alcoholic sort of beverage, I do believe the rec wing's clubs are offering drinks on the house for about a week as we speak...
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Is there something amiss, Andronikos?
See, the thing about the rec wing that I just found out is that they don't like you taking the alcohol out of the wing. Which doesn't help in this case.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
Why would something be amiss?
[He's just going to totally ignore the bit about tea because really Obi-Wan? That's what you're going to offer?]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Well, inquiries towards other sources of alcohol usually give the impression of amiss things, and so on. Consider it a more concerned gesture, of sorts.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org If nothing is actually amiss, though, pardon me--alcohol out of the wing? I see. And what good cause is it that needs the drinks elsewhere?
[and suddenly a lot of things do make sense all at once...huh]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Certainly a good cause if there ever was one, I daresay. I imagine many people would need it indeed...I apologize, for not being more helpful about this.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org If any of them prefer something soothing that isn't alcoholic my own offer still stands, at least. Hopefully there are others better-prepared than I, though.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Hm, well, to speak from experience myself--I find that it rather varies by the person, really. Alcohol certainly does have the means to numb!
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org On the other hand, my master would always turn to a cup of sapir leaves on harder days. Quite interesting, really--the difference any drink can make.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org But I'm glad to hear you've found others so far! You're right, the reception for the fallen will probably be a large one.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org I'll keep an eye out for others with a bottle or two to spare as well, if it's any help at all.
I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal of tea, to be honest, but the girl I worked with before coming here was about the same way. Never went a day without it.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
Always was worried she'd end up with an unhealthy addiction to it, the way she depended on the stuff for so long.
[As if he has any room to talk about addiction and dependence. Or needed to worry about a sith, but hey.]
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
But I would appreciate it, if you do happen to come up with anyone that does. Never hurts to have a little more on hand, right?
[Nah bro, always worry about Sith. Especially Sith with tea addictions.....]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Hm, spoken as one that's already tried it, I hope? I do know it's not for everyone, but the offering of my own supply still stands too. If you ever care to try some!
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org But it does sound like she was quite fond of it. On the other hand, I daresay there are worse things to be addicted to...
[obi-wan please your bias is showing]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org And no, it certainly doesn't hurt! I understand entirely; it's not a problem at all.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Don't get along....in the flavor sense? Or the more biological sense? Though you'd have to pardon me for that, I wasn't aware that native Corellians might have an allergic reaction to such things...
[is that a joke maybe it's a joke ah who knows
but well, only fair payback for that bit which may or may not be teasing there--]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org But oh, yes! Definitely actual tea. No code here...I never thought of having a code like that, actually. Perhaps not an entirely bad idea. [is that also a joke ah it's really hard to say, the mystery thickens]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Just regular tea for now, though. Is that so odd?
[INDEED HE DOES rare and occasionally dry as a Tatooine desert as said humor might be...but well, at least one form of tolerable chattiness is better than none at all.]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Hm, perhaps I haven't, it's true! If I ever return home I might remedy this sometime. [Well, no, that's not true. He'd never intended to leave Tatooine to start. But that's neither here nor there, and there's no good to be had from thinking about it, and so Obi-Wan doesn't let himself--] Funny though, for most people those sorts of things are the other way around...is water especially lethal?
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Oh, rest assured my friend, if I were trying to push something upon you I'd imagine there are much more subtle ways to go about it. [Uh.] Not that I would, of course! At least when it comes to tea--why try to ruin perfectly good leaves?
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org But that's what I'd be more wary of anyway, myself. Subtle attempts...those are always the worst, really.
Water you can get away with in a pinch, I think. Not so much toxic as it is tasteless to the point everyone's got their alternative. Just can't beat good Corellian whisky, you know?
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
And you ain't exactly helping your case here, Kenobi.
[He can't even help it at this point, Obi-Wan why are you even encouraging him like this.]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Well, I guess in the end human limitations still must be taken into account, even for a Corellian!
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org According to what I'm reading, anyway. I am sorry that there is probably a bit of a dearth of Corellian whiskey to be found here, I imagine...
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Oh, come now, it only warrants saying! In retrospect I don't think I'm a terribly subtle person anyhow, myself...but I figure it's the thought that counts, you know?
You'd imagine right. It's kinda painful, honestly, especially when half the crap they serve on board this ship doesn't even count as real alcohol in my book.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
Kinda funny, the things that really leave you homesick.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
Could be. Though if you did ever want help with the subtlety thing, I know a sweet girl out in Mos Ila that could get you on the right track. Might even trade some favors for that tea.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org I'd try not to give up all hope just yet! The ship's selection of drinks could always be worse...but besides that, I've been able to acquire a few teas from home in the past that are otherwise not found here.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org That sort of shopping channel only opens occasionally, and may not be available for some time yet at present, but I'll be sure to let you know if it does reappear. It may be of interest to you!
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org But oh, I suppose I could keep that in mind! Mos Ila...some sort of locale on Tatooine, that?
Really? If there's a chance I could actually get some homebrew from it then I'd definitely appreciate if you did.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
Yeah, that's right. About the only decent settlement you'll find on that rock, if you don't mind the Empire setting up camp and the Exchange having a stranglehold on the place.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
But the people aren't too bad, and the cantina there is the only decent watering hole I've found.
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org It wouldn't be a problem--I'll keep an eye out in that case, as well. There might not be much in the way of home comforts here, no...but well, every little bit, and so on.
[But oh, that gives him a bit of pause--mention of the Empire then. It occurs to Obi-Wan that he never had gotten around to asking what timeframe Andronikos himself hails from, as well--if only because the timing hadn't been quite right, every other occasion they've spoken. ...But well, one step at a time--]
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org Hm, I see! I suppose most any other settlement would be a sight better place to be than Mos Eisley--that's the only Tatooine locale I've been to before, myself. Quite the hive of scum and villainy, as they say!
FROM: kenobi.obiwan@cdc.org But the populace who aren't bounty hunters aren't nearly so bad, no. "Exchange", though? I don't think I've ever heard of that particular name...?
Every little bit, yeah. Because to be honest, it's hard trying to imagine surviving this contract without it.
[Yeeeeeah, one step at a time may really be for the best, all things considered. And although Obi-Wan can't see it, the face that Andronikos makes at the last message...wat.]
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
You haven't heard of them? Pirate clan gaining traction as a crime syndicate, and they've been expanding their territories for a while now.
FROM: revel.andronikos@cdc.org
Spice, stims, weapons, slaves - they have their hands in just about everything, and they're everywhere from Tatooine to Nar Shaddaa. Pain in the ass to work around, but they ain't all bad people.
[No, really though, what hole do you have to be living in to not have even heard of the Exchange.]

Some might prefer it. Never actually asked. Thing is, I'm not sure tea helps numb things quite as well as alcohol does.
