[Video, Thursday] This doesn't actually violate the bro code

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[The past week has been chaotic.

No, the past month has been chaotic.

Being realistic, the past year has been chaotic.

This leads Wes to one conclusion.]

Okay, that's it. I am officially opening the betting pool. How many days of honeymoon do you think Luke and Kaylee will actually manage before there's another crisis?

[unofficial_ambassador]

They don't need you inviting any more bad luck on them.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Just noticing a pattern and addressing it traditionally.

[unofficial_ambassador]

It's inappropriate, especially so close to the wedding.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Notice I'm not taking bets about the wedding.

[unofficial_ambassador]

So it's all right so long as whatever shows up next waits until the next day to kill us?

[cursemymetalbody]

[Threepio sounds very indignant.]

Sir! Such a wager is rather improper!

[There is some beeping and chirping in the background. Threepio forgets to turn off his comm when he replies to it.]

Don't be absurd Artoo! ...you don't have any credits, anyway.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Aww, let him have his fun.

[He's fond of astromechs. It's a pilot thing.]

[cursemymetalbody]

[Threepio sighs.]

Impossible man.

[There is more beeping in the background.]

I don't even know who that is, Artoo.

[-More annoyed beeps-]

Oh, very well. Artoo is betting that Master Luke will be interrupted on the fifth day. And he wagers...

[-A rapid series of digital chirps and beeps-]

A video of someone named 'Master Yoda' playing a series of pranks on Master Luke. I honestly have no idea what he is talking about, sir.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

He has a video of...

[Artoo is his new favourite]

That is an impressive stake.

[Even if Artoo loses this bet he has to find that video]

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

Four days.

[Audio]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Uh...

[Not someone he expected to bet.

Not someone you want to see betting.]

Well then. Four days.

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

What are the stakes?

[Apparently, she's serious about betting. Who knew?]

[Audio]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[The oracle seriously wants to enter the betting pool. This is not a good sign.]

Five credits is usual for this sort of thing.

[video]

[last_ofthe_jedi]

((See icon. This face at you, Wes.))

I hope you lose every credit you own.

[video]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Just running the pool. Not betting.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Luke is evidently surprised.]

Oh yeah? Why not?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Can't be the one deciding what constitutes a crisis if I've got a bet on.

[Video]

[erranthero]

I'll give it a couple of weeks. But fogs don't count as a crisis.

[Video]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[We have an optimist!]

Fogs aren't a crisis, we know how to deal with those.

[Video]

[erranthero]

Still trouble.

[Sigh.]

Isn't this a little kriffed up, though? I mean, shouldn't you be wishing him happiness or something?

Re: [Video]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Oh, I wish him all the happiness in the galaxy. Just happen to notice patterns.

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

I realize you probably mean it as a joke, and possibly you know them both a little better than I do. But I have to say this seems...tasteless at best.

Re: [video]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Old squadron tradition. Can't control it, might as well take bets.

[video]

[girlworthfighting]

And what exactly are you constituting as a 'crisis' here, anyway?

[video]

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Mortal peril that isn't fog related.

Unless the fogs do something different than usual.
