[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.]

Yes and no. Traveling from one planet to another is common, but depending on your line of work, you may be grounded on one planet.

Maybe...that would make sense.

That sounds interesting. It is well known that people can do magic? Or is it kept a secret?

Why would people assume such things? It is a skill--one that deserves payment, unless it's done out of free will and not expected of them. I would find that insulting--which is why I wouldn't ask. What would he trade for? Portions--food? Or other materials?

We can't do that in my reality. We've went to our planet's moon and explored but beings can't travel from one planet to the other.

I'm not sure that any of it makes sense, but I think some people should stay here.

Most of the ones who don't have it don't know it exist. People who are connected to the supernatural know it exists.

There are people here who study it. They may be able to explain it better than I can.

Magnus will like you. You're one of the few people I've met that think of magic that way.

People assume because they're thoughtless or they assume that because he has magic he should use it to help them. I'm not sure what he'd trade for but it could be something as simple as stories about your world.

Or he may want to show off to prove that magic does exist.

Really? Is there a reason? I'm just curious. Traveling from one planet to another, it's very common--especially for trading.

Nothing makes sense, or maybe it's not meant to make sense now...who knows.

How interesting...to keep it a secret from other people. So, I take it magic is just a myth to those who don't know of it?

I would hope that he would be able to tolerate me at least, and if he likes me...that would be nice. I would like to meet him and you too. You've been very nice and helpful. It's not common from where I'm from.

I'm Rey by the way.

We don't have the technology to go beyond our solar system and we haven't found life on the planets nearby.

Most people think it's a myth. It's safer for most beings if those without magic keep thinking magic isn't real. People used to be hunted just for the suspicion of being able to do magic.

I don't think our society has really evolved beyond that. We still hurt what we think is different.

Maybe you're here to see a place where it's more common to be nice and helpful?

I'm Alec. Magnus runs the Quarantine bar. We're usually there most nights if you want to meet us. When you've settled in you should come see us.

I probably can convince him to do a few minor spells to show off.

So perhaps it's a good thing that your world hasn't had the chance to discover life on other planets. No one would get hurt--one species or another. Which is sad in a way, you have more freedom to roam from planet to planet--assuming you have the money and a ship for it.

Maybe? Who's to say that isn't it.

I might visit you at the cantina, but it might be a while. I'll try though. It would be nice to meet you and him in person--magic spells or not.

I need to go but, thank you again.
