[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?

Not normalized, where I'm from, but normally I would be able to travel to different dimensions with my magic. Here, it's not working. So, maybe a ship would be a good alternative if you're able to find out what galaxy you're even in.

[ Because yeeeeaaah. It's a little worrisome to dwell on. ]

When was the last time you saw her?

[followhim]

[so there were a lot of confusing things in that first sentence but poe thinks he gets it. maybe. so he decides to just move along.]

I think so. I know they're big on keeping us in, with the perimeter and everything, so maybe space travel would be out of the question. But if we were just taking a quick look around, an exploration mission ... maybe it'd be approved? I don't know.

I saw her right after Memoria, but it's been radio silence since then.

[interesting how it was right after he tried to warn her about hux ... not that he's gonna say that on the public network ... but he's definitely thinking it.]

The humans went to the moon in my world.

[followhim]

Really? Just the moon? That's still something, I guess.

[soundsfishy]

They're trying, at least. I don't know much about if they did anything else.

Do your world have serious space travel, then? Like other planets and stuff?

[ When he sees this, he listens for Rey's heartbeat at once. He can't find her at all, and Clark knows what that means. ]

I'm sorry to tell you this, she's not here anymore.

[followhim]

[he doesn't know what to make of this anonymous message — but he figures if it was hux, he'd rather leave poe in paranoid suspense, so. this is probably a benign stranger.]

Thanks for letting me know.

[followhim]

Yeah! Really serious. I explored whole star systems.

Done the whole ship thing, but it wasn't really for space so much as realities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your best bet's gonna be scouring the abandoned city for usable shit. I'm pretty fucking good at scrapping if you need a hand.

[ well someone considers this Serious Business. ]

She's a friend of yours?

[followhim]

That's right. We came from the same world. But I think she's really gone now.

[followhim]

Thanks for the tip! I might take you up on that. I don't have a whole lot of scrapping experience.

[spellslots]

It's a good way to keep a ship running if you're stuck in another reality.

Not sure about a propulsion system, what we used isn't something I can replicate here.

[soundsfishy]

Amazing! Are there any planets that are just a big sea?

[fingerstripes]

Hold that thought.

[ He doesn't trust the public records in this place, but as a police officer he kind of can't not trust on some level that the people in charge of them at least believe what they say. Poe deserves to know, either way.

Thirty minutes later: ]

The city keeps public records of everyone that's sent back. She's on that list, right now.

[followhim]

Hey, thanks. At least now I know, instead of wondering if something happened to her beyond the perimeter.

[or if hux kidnapped her for fun torture time]

[fingerstripes]

yeah. I've been there.

You gonna be alright?

[followhim]

I think so. [he wants to believe that she'll be okay back in their own world, but it occurs to him that the last thing she remembered was being captured by someone in a mask??? so um ... maybe not.]

Do you know what happens to people when they go back through the portal? Do they go back to where they were before?

[followhim]

Yeah, I figure that's going to be the major issue in trying to build anything here. But we won't know unless we try, right?

[followhim]

Water planets? Oh yeah, several. Hundreds, at least. I can't say I've been to many of them, though.

[ex_clobbers559]

I was. My dad took me to more than a dozen other worlds when I was a kid.

That's a good idea. if we're here to help this dimension as a whole, then we're here to help more than just this moon I'd think.

( She wishes she could talk about this stuff off anon, but sadly that's impossible for now. )

[spellslots]

I mean, they must've had some kinda space travel at some point, right? How else did they get to the moon?

[soundsfishy]

Oh, wow. Do any of them have merfolk in them?

[fingerstripes]

I'm not really sure. [ Poe doesn't seem like the type to prefer a nicer lie. ]

I mean the welcome brochure makes it pretty clear what the brass has in mind, but as far as I can tell we don't have any proof yet. No one's left and come back a story.

[followhim]

[nah; he'd rather dick be honest even if the truth isn't great, so ... it's fine.]

Hm. I hate to say that all there is to do is hope for the best, but it doesn't seem like there are many other options.
