obi-wan and fox have bi-weekly meetings, either in person or by video call depending on availability and location. these meetings are titled the Politicians Are Assholes meetings and it's mainly like:
Obi-wan: *taking a long drag of straight vodka* force, this tastes like shit. i miss spotchka. Fox: *head on table, only hair visible to the screen* hound brewed some brandy. obi-wan: *raises brow* and how's that going fox: i feel like i just downed paint thinner obi-wan: so well, then fox: fuckin' awesome
intersperced with
Obi-wan: did you hear the idiot from Corellia? Saying that they didn't want any aid from our troops? she's just going to allow her people to be taxed within their lives by the separatists fox: oh, that's nothing. after the meeting she tried to talk up the chancellor in order to get some mineral grants. it was honestly disgusting obi-wan: not while I'm drinking, fox. ew.
Obi-wan: i caught the tail end of Senator . . . Fox: *already groaning* bonteri obi-wan: *nodding profousely* bonteri's speech. there was not a word of sense in the entire damn thing, was there? unless I missed something fox: you missed more bullshit obi-wan: hm. I thought so
but while it's mainly just them bitching, they accidentally uncover Palpatine this way.
Obi-wan: force, is that all paperwork? on your desk????? Fox: *glances at the paper and datapads almost covering his desk* don't make me say yes, Jetti. it's giving me the worst fucking headache. Obi-wan: *eyes narrowing* wait. what? you're not supposed to get headaches Fox: *shrugging* and I suppose I'm not supposed to get blood clots, either obi-wan: NO??? what???? fox: *raises arm and shows him what looks like oddly-shaped veins running up his arm* what's this fuckin' thing then Obi-wan: ARE THOSE LIGHTNING SCARS fox: *drunk off his ass* obviously not, we don't get lightning on coruscant Obi-wan: CODY, TURN THE NEGOTIATOR AROUND.
