[It’s a bit overwhelming to go from one place to suddenly another—without the aid of a ship or anything of the like. Then, be greeted by strangers and be told they were in a different place. Rey is trying to grapple with it, but everything seems out of place to her. There wasn’t anything that screamed this was the First Order’s doing, nor could she sense Kylo Ren’s presence, but she still had to keep her guard up.

The device she’s using—a phone is what they told her—is an interesting one. It’s small, compact, and has other uses to it. Later, she’ll try to tinker with it maybe even take it apart to see how it works, but right now she needs answers.]

Has anyone else asked why we were brought here? Or, if they have, do they believe the answer?

Additionally, are there any ships here? If not, maybe an area with parts or a junkyard?

[It wouldn't be wise of her to say who she is. Who knows if there are members of the First Order are here. Or, really, anyone that has connections to the First Order.]

Comments

[jedies]

Yes, I'll — [ See her later? No doubt he will, but his mind is a fog right now and Obi-Wan struggles to shake himself out of it. ]

Thank you. For showing me this.

[ It can't be easy, letting a stranger touch a lightsaber. It's not done. ]

[talentedscavenger]

[He may see her later, he may not, but she'll keep her distance for now. She feels she's caused enough pain to him. She's hoping she can figure a way out of here soon.]

You're welcome?

[Really, Rey is unsure of the protocols of this. Letting someone else touch the lightsaber was a risk, but it paid off. She knows he's a real Jedi, and while she wants to ask for help...this doesn't feel like the time nor the place. Having him deny that he was the voice from her vision doesn't help. She'll soldier on either way.

For now, she'll turn on her heel and investigate more of this place.]

[talentedscavenger]

It's interesting. I haven't seen anything like it before [And it just holds his weight and allows him to glide.]

If most of us were taken by mistake...has anyone demanded questions? Or attempted to?

I think all of us would like to get back home, if not to complete our missions, then at least to see those we care about.

[bluechampion]

Well, if you ever want to try it out let me know, though it looks like you've got more pressing matters to deal with right now.

Did you have an orientation? I asked about getting back to where I was from but they just told me that the portal we came through wasn't in their control and left it at that. I probably should have pressed for more, but I guess I was too disoriented at the time. Did they tell you anything?

[talentedscavenger]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

I had an orientation and they pretty much said the same thing to me too, and that they couldn't believe I was taken by "mistake." I'm going to look into this further.

I do need to get going, so thank you again for the information.

[jedies]

May the Force be with you.

[ With that, he watches her leave. After a few moments, Obi-Wan turns away, folding his arms. Is he shaking? No. He's too good of a Jedi for that. He didn't shake when the others died.

Luke Skywalker. That was an easy conclusion to draw. Perhaps Anakin left the Order. It had been on his mind for many years. Obi-Wan had known it, waited for it but it never fully arose as Anakin threw his lot with the Jedi. Anakin stayed. But perhaps he couldn't stay any longer. Whatever future Rey spoke of . . . it seemed far off. Far into Obi-Wan's lifetime. Fear gripped him and Obi-Wan needed to shake it off.

Victory for all time, we may achieve.

Inhale. Exhale. There is no emotion, there is only peace. He tilts his head upwards, letting the light strike his brow. It is not over. If a terrible future hangs over his head, then Obi-Wan will fight it.

As befits a Jedi.

He bows his head, leaving. ]

[alkahestic]

Oh, it's definitely not magic. [ a small chuckle. ]

And it's okay! I like meeting new people, so it's nice to talk to you. I'm Alphonse. Alphonse Elric.

[talentedscavenger]

Pleasure to meet you, I'm Rey. [She gives him a small smile. It's interesting how these devices work, but she has to go.]

It's been nice talking with you too. Bye. [She turns off the video and starts to explore more of the city.]

Re: Text

[dracolucmalfoy]

[Alright, so she is not going to appear upon video. that is fine. So, instead, he switches over to text as well.]

Understandable. However, my offer for aide still stands. I am still relatively new myself, so I can appreciate how difficult the adjustment can be.

As for a junk yard, I am not overly familiar with the term myself. From a casual glance over a listing of businesses I do not believe so. I akso do not believe we yet have any businesses focusing on repair. There is the abandoned section, however. I am not sure if that might be a substitute for what you are looking for.

[talentedscavenger]

[She doesn't want to show her face, not yet. It's too soon to tell if the First Order is here or not.]

Not so much difficult, rather, it's confusing--puzzling.

It's as the name implies: a yard of junk, or abandoned areas with different parts. Something I can repair, or build something from.

By abandoned section...are you referring to people having occupied that area, or it's never been occupied before?

[dracolucmalfoy]

I figured it was something similar. I still stand by my earlier answer.

It is a city once lived in, currently abandoned. I would speak to the Abandoned City Expansion team. They are likely to have more information on that section, and if it is a safe area to explore on your own.

[talentedscavenger]

Thank you for the suggestion, I see if I can speak with them. I haven't had much of a chance to explore this city...

It's quite different than where I'm from. Greenery mixed with buildings...rather interesting.

[dracolucmalfoy]

Different, how? Less greenery? Or less buildings?

[talentedscavenger]

Both. It was a desert, very few structures, and what was around was rusted.

We did find an old starship out in the jungle, but it's not up and running yet. As a rule though, there aren't too many here - I think mostly because we're a Quarantine. But someone had to settle this moon in the first place.

[talentedscavenger]

What kind of starship? Is there anyone working on repairing it?

[OH MAN so he met rey awhile ago when she first came through the portal and then was really sad because she went home ... BUT IT'S ALL OKAY BECAUSE SHE'S BACK NOW. poe is enthused. at least ... he thinks it is. how many reys who are also scavengers could there be?]

Are you really Rey? From Jakku?

[talentedscavenger]

Yes, I am.

Why?

[ She's not looking at the username cause, anyone could be named anything, right?

...please don't let this be the First Order. ]

[followhim]

I'm Poe Dameron. I don't know if you remember me, or how much you might know, but ... we were friends. I have some of your things, if you want them.

Video

[talentedscavenger]

[ It takes her a moment to figure out how to initiate a video response before a new message comes through. ]

Poe Dameron? BB-8's master? I think we met on the Resistance base..

[ And now there's some confusion on her face. ]

Why would you have my things?

[followhim]

[he switches to video, too.]

Yes! That's me. [he's excited that she knows that much, but also a little sad because — ]

You were here before. I guess you don't remember it? Because of how the portal works. It wasn't for long. But I have your staff and a book of maps you were sketching.

[WAIT HIS MIND IS PROCESSING TOO MANY THINGS AT ONCE] We met? On the Resistance base?

[talentedscavenger]

I was here before?

[ Uhh, she has her staff already and maps? To find Luke?]

We might have? I had to do a few things--including saying bye to Finn, BB-8, and the General....

[ This is starting to make her head hurt. ] Maybe we should talk in person?

[followhim]

[THIS IS NEWS TO HIM because his last memory before being pulled through the portal is crash landing onto jakku. and since no one has been able to dispute it, he's been walking around thinking he's either dead or destined to die in .005 if he ever gets another chance to go home.]

Talking in person would be great! Definitely. Where are you? I can meet you there.

[talentedscavenger]

[ She has to look around for a moment. ]

I'm at a park. There's only one park right?

[dancingmd]

It's a little bit bigger than a shuttlecraft - it seats several people comfortably. I'm afraid I am not much of a mechanic myself, but Jim Kirk and Poe Dameron are working on it now.
