[so … rey is missing. he's tried to check on her, found some of her belongings (and took them for safekeeping in fear of the worst…), but no her. with hux lurking around, it's really hard not to fear the worst. but he's gonna keep it together and make a nice normal network post everything is a-ok here it's fuckin' fine!!]

How many of you are from a place with normalized space travel? The more people I talk to, the more I realize it's rare. I was thinking, maybe if I had enough people who were interested and had the right knowledge … who knows what could happen. We could put together a ship, go exploring. This wouldn't be an instant thing, I know it'd take a lot of time and work. But if other people are interested, we could try and make it happen.


[jk it's not fine aw here it goes]

And I was just wondering: has anyone seen Rey around? She's new, too, so I don't know how many people would actually know her … but she was living on the fourth floor in communal housing. Brown hair, carried around a staff sometimes?

Merfolk?

Fish people!

Oh! I know what you're talking about. Back home they're called Melodies. I've never actually seen one, though.

[fingerstripes]

Yeah. I'm working on that one. [ As much as he's far from ready to take their explanation at face value, he doesn't exactly have a better solution to offer just now. He feels bad. Poe is a nice guy. Probably hurting for reminders of home as much as Dick is.

Then: ]

So I'm more of a cycle guy than a reassembling starships from scrap guy, but if there's anything I can do to help I'd love to lend a hand.

[followhim]

That's actually a really good point. There's no way they destroyed everything.

[he says there's no way bc if he believes that hard enough it'll be true, ok.]

[followhim]

Yeah, that'd be great! What's a cycle, though? I don't think I'm familiar.

[followhim]

Really? Wow. My mom let me sit in the cockpit with her when I was a kid, but it was mostly patrol runs around our home planet. I didn't really see other worlds until I was older. Actually, maybe we could do something like that here. Have a perimeter guard around the moon, patrolling.

But anyway, you're right. I think that, too.

[soundsfishy]

Melodies? That's such a beautiful name.

[ex_clobbers559]

Hey, that's a great idea! Which means the perimeter guard could recruit and train pilots to do it. So far it seems almost like 'only the martially inclined need apply' and I've been hoping to change that.

( Because she'd never have gotten anywhere without her non-warrior friends backing her up. )

I wonder if we're in the majority or minority. Out of curiosity, have you ever heard of a planet called Earth?

( Kara may or may not be trying to gauge how far away where he'd grown up is from where she had. )

It's not the most normal thing in my world, perhaps. But one of my good friends is from the moon.

( maybe she should mention that he's also a talking gorilla? )

I would be incredibly interested in going exploring. This is a brand new world, who knows what it holds. Though, I'm afraid I can't help with your friend, though. If I see her, I'll let her know you're looking for her.

[followhim]

Majority or minority of what? People who have been to different planets? It seems like minority to me, but that's part of why I made this post.

I've heard of it since coming here, but not before.

[followhim]

That's all right. I'd still appreciate your help with the exploring! We're all in this together. I'd love to see what's out there, too.

[followhim]

Yeah, I think so, too. I don't know a whole lot about them, just some stories. They seem really secretive.

[soundsfishy]

So are we. Maybe that's a sea trait?

[followhim]

Maybe. The sea's a big place, good for secrets. Not too much different from the stars.

[valkyre]

It's curious to think about what could be different or similar to our own worlds.

But in yours, space travel is normal. What is it like? What are the worlds like, and how many are there?

[soundsfishy]

Quite true. What is it like, out in space?

[spellslots]

.Unless those wars of there's were real fucking bad, there's for sure gotta be some stuff left. Have you asked like, people who've been here longer? Most of us are pretty new.

[followhim]

Not yet. I was trying to gauge interest first.

[fingerstripes]

[ Pretend there's a picture attached of an old, beat up motorcycle halfway taken apart. It's not much to look at, seriously. ]

This one's mine. [ And he's so proud of it it's embarrassing. ]

They tend to run a little faster than a car. It's nothing like any kind of flying, but it has it's own charm.

It is incredibly common where I'm from. But for some in my universe, normalized space travel is still unheard of, strangely enough.

I am unfortunately not an engineer nor a technician but-- putting together a ship does sound promising.

[spellslots]

Not the worst way to do things, I guess.

Having much luck on that front?

[followhim]

I've got a few people, which is good. Could be better, but a good start for now.

[followhim]

Oh! It looks like a speeder bike. I've rode those before, although I imagine the mechanics are a little different. I'd love to try it out.

[followhim]

I'll take whatever help I can get, as long as you're interested and willing. Having some sort of knowledge base is still worth something, even if you aren't an engineer or technician.
