[enforced]

For those who noticed the incident that triggered the watering system in the garden a few hours ago, I'd like to assure you that it wasn't a ship error or an act of random vandalism, and it wasn't anything to be concerned about. It was an accident and it won't happen again.

[a pause. okay, anakin, your turn to speak. explain the accident]

There was a slight…malfunction while we were testing the repairbikes.

[okay, so perhaps it's more like "they were being idiots and pushed the bikes too hard and managed to hit a tree" but shh.

also, guess who isn't impressed about having to make this post in the first place? damn future masters.]

The rain managed to put out the fire before it spread, but- Look, it wasn't our fault. We fixed them perfectly, but then the controls froze up and it either this or let them fly about and possibly kill someone. At least this way it's just a few trees that got hit.

[because that means they made the right choice, doesn't it? he just glances back across at obi-wan now, leaving him to finish this up. there's a reason the other jedi usually takes the lead in discussions instead of him.]

Either way, we accept full responsibility for our actions, and apologize if we startled or frightened anyone.


[ooc: Blue is Obi-Wan, this refers to this!]

How can you tell it was a girl? [ priorities. ]

video; im really sorry

[unbraided]

I'm pretty sure he's making it up.

[He hopes so at least :|. Elves are weird.]

audio; DON'T BE C:

[wolfchild]

[ you seem to know him, bro. help a girl out. ]

Are elves always so weird?

video; awesome :>

[unbraided]

Yes. Well, Legolas is the worst, I think.

[Maybe this is why Thorin was always so disgruntled when it came to talking to and/or about elves....]

[wolfchild]

Grief will do that. [ poor leggy lost his wife. ]

I wouldn't worry, he'll find another tree to be besotted with. [Should they hold a funeral for the first tree-wife though.]

video.

[tofindthesun]

A feeling. They speak, in their own way.

[YEAH KIDS YOU KILLED SENTIENT TREES HOW BOUT THAT he's joking]

audio.

[wolfchild]

And she told you she's a girl?

[ THE SKEPTICISM IN HERE IS SO THICK. ]

video.

[tofindthesun]

She does not speak to me. Her language is a different sort than I know.

[he is over 600 years old do not think he hasn't already done this before.]

audio.

[wolfchild]

[ she's eleven, she will have this argument. ]

Then how can you understand it?

video.

[tofindthesun]

I did not say I understood it. [GURL COME ON NOW] Only that she speaks, and I can infer from that.

video; yes good

[unbraided]

[UNSURE......]

....but how can you tell it's a girl?

[Was that offensive to trees should he have said 'she' too? Oh man what if he's been offending trees his whole life, what if that's why he fell out of them so many times when he was a dwarfling -- ah well, too late now.]

video; pulls random facts out of hair

[tofindthesun]

Can you not tell? The same as distinguishing a man from a woman.

[that's right lady tree bits good luck thinking about that.]

I AM NOT EVEN SORRY

[wolfchild]

Trees do not have cocks.

IO DON' TNKOW ANYMOREEEE

[tofindthesun]

[why

how


no]

You do not know how to see them.

[wolfchild]

Do you go around looking for tree cocks? [ that's really weird. and kinda creepy. ]

video; casually crying oh my god legolas

[unbraided]

[nO LEGOLAS HE DIDNT WANT TO KNOW THAT OH MAHAL MAKE IT STOP.]

Should I console you for your loss then?

[Legolas were you married to a tree.]

video; he's been left along for way too long

[tofindthesun]

[NO. NEVER.]

..I will recover, given time. [DRAMATIC SIGH.]

permavid; yeah he can tell

[unbraided]

[Elves are so weird. :I]

Good luck with that, then.

[elvenking]

Does this mean I am to expect my first grandchild at last?

[Deadpan.]

[unbraided]

I wouldn't encourage him.

[DAD NO]

[elvenking]

I have been encouraging him since he was fifty. [Exaggeration, he hasn't actually put any pressure on his kids to have grandkids for him.] At this time I should be happy to hear of any progress at all, and not the least bit surprised that his interests lie with trees, for it has ever been so.

[tofindthesun]

[d.. ad....]

..If anything has survived the fire. [8(]

[elvenking]

Alas for the woeful news that it was destroyed. [Deadpan again.]
