The List
The Bulletin board was located just oppopsite of captain Rex's office onboard of the Resolute.
At first it was just the usual ship gossip.
Sabbac game tomorrow, first price the new poster of the Bolo team from Alderan or question for a double squad training.
But about two weeks into the existence of the board a small commotion in front of his office nearly caused Rex to turn on his heels as he came down the corridor from the mess hall.
He really didn't want to deal with whatever was going on, but to Corellia with it. He was the Captain Rex, so he straightened his shoulders and pushed through the crowd.
A thin sheet of flimsi had been pinned on the dark fabric of the board.
1) I really appreciate that everyone likes the new tools, but if they are not where they should be when I need them, whoever didn't put them back will clean out the droid's oilbasin for the next stellar cycle, by hand.
Rex recognised Skywalker's handwriting, but even machine written he would know who that came from. The General's curses had been audible throughout half the ship.
It was a few days after the first appearance of the list and the slug incident caused Ahsoka to leave her mark on the list.
Rex sipped his first caf of the day in the early hours of the morning when he caught sight of it; and had to surpress a smile. The shrieks of unholy terror had woken up half the Resolute.
2) I feel honoured that all of you include me like this, but from now on my quarters are only to be entered upon my, Captain Rex's or Master Skywalker's allowance. All items will be delivered to my desk.
2a) I am serious. It took me days to get the slime out of my robes. There are still hatchlings appearing out of somewhere.
As he came back from the mess hall after getting his second cup later in the day, someone had left another note.
3) It followed me home is no excuse.
Rex didn't know for sure who had written that note, but he had his suspicions. There had been something with an oversized arachnid a few days back.
The days came and went without another point appearing on the list, but then, just after one mission, there came a new one.
3a) 'They wanted to keep me' isn't one either.
3b) No matter how good the food was.
Ahsoka had stepped by Rex's office for a short post-battle discussion as she noticed the fourth note and smiled. Ox's squad had run late for pick up, and now she could figure out why.
After a short moment of consideration she pulled out a pen and added another note.
4) No matter how fascinating you find other cultures. Please try to refrain from summoning deamons in your quarters.
She thought the matter finished until shortly after point four had been added, other notes on the subject appeared in short succession. She couldn't figure out who had put them there.
4b) Also refrain from cursing your brothers. Not getting the last muja-fruit desert is no excuse for making a mess out of the quarters.
4c) Neither is trying to prove that demons or curses exists.
4d)Also no attempts to contact the afterlife. I am serious.
4e) No attempts at something that has not been proven scientifically possible, earnest or joke, period. The rookies in corridor three delta still can't sleep without the light on.
The last point had been written by Captain Rex. Ahsoka winced. What had happened there and how had she missed out on it? Whistling she turned to the mess hall. Time to find out.
After the shiplife came to a grinding halt Rex saw himself forced to make use of the board again.
5) If i ever find out who substituted the caf with decaf in the mess he will wish that the Kaminoans had forgotten to decant him.
After a moment of concideration he added another point.
5b) And if anyone should get the idea to switch to double caf now he will wish that the Kaminoans had forgotten to decant him and scrub the Resolute with his toothbrush.
A.N.:
This fic was inspired by Skippy's list, which made me roll on the floor in laughter. Thanks a bunch for the inspiration.
My appologies for everyone who is waiting for an update of Born To Live. It is about halfway done, but as that story really drags me down I needed something to cheer me up. Hope I could do the same for you, something akin to a one shot that could be expandet if you like it (hint, hint) seemed like the best choice.
see you hopefully on monday, Windpheonix.
