[video || un: scavenger.rey] (forward dated to 3/28)

[The comm flickers to life and starts to stream instant video. It's drizzling, but who would've left their device out in the rain? A porg steps forward, soon joined by two more. Each of them staring at the screen, chirping and trying to figure out what was going on. The first one to approach picks up the device, showcasing the forest scenery and Rey sitting cross-legged under a tree wearing a poncho. She looks like she's meditating and not paying attention.

There's another squawk with the porg carrying the device turning around to see another porg poking and then TURNING ON the lightsaber out of Rey's bag. The brunette hears the sound and instantly turns around.]

Hey! What are you doing?

[The porgs freeze for a split second, then start running. The porg playing with the lightsaber manages to turn the thing off, picks it up and now both porgs are running away.]

Come back here! [The video turns shakey with two thieving birds taking off with Rey's things, but she's hot on their trial. It looks like they're preparing to fly, beating their wings and ready to take off--but they're frozen in mid air. The video displays the porgs moving backwards, being drawn back. When they're turned around, the camera captures Rey with her hand out and drawing both birds back with the Force. She grabs the porg with her lightsaber and puts that back on her belt, sets it down and then grabs the porg that has her device.]

Don't do that again, okay? [It feels useless to talk to the birds, but better than being upset. She doesn't realize the video feed has been on this entire time.]

[ooc: based off of this adorable video. Additionally, 3/28 was the 'birthday' Rey picked out with Cisco, but she's treating it as any other day. So..have at thee!]

I knew him as a famous smuggler...and to think the Falcon...it was on Jakku and I thought it was a heaping pile of junk.

[That moment seemed like a lifetime ago rather than just days...hours ago.]

No...I didn't. I didn't manage to bring him back. He went back on his own...

He's one with the Force now.

Oh. [ So many dead, so many lives lost, her own included. What did it mean for the rebellion? Would they make it? ]

You can do it, you know. If you learned from him, even if it was just a little bit, you're going to be able to help them. You and the rest will make everything we've lost count for something.

I know. [The words are murmured softly, almost distant. They've lost so much, but they have to keep fighting. Paige's life--the lives of others cannot be for nothing.]

I'm going to keep fighting and continue to have hope.
