Is it normal for things to be this...intense?

[The ghosts, the weird party thing that happened and now...now she isn't sure what to make of anything.]

Rather, is it normal for your old things to suddenly appear? I didn't think I would see it again after leaving Jakku, but...it's better than nothing.

Or, is it a trick and should I prepare for it to be something else? I would like to eventually use it, but if it's a trick....

[Nothing is given freely, especially her Speeder. How or why it's suddenly came to Riverview is beyond her. Does she dare trust it?]

[She knows pilots too, well...a pilot. And Tony's an inventor slash hero...but the people she's meeting here are unique and interesting in their own ways. Regardless, she is curious about people who have been to other worlds and through other portals--

Wait, what?]

Three portals? I thought there was only one...or...have you been here before?

Expect the unexpected then?

[alchemyfreak]

Other places, sort of like this. Not entirely,
though. Here they offer a chance to go home if they can get the portal pointed right,
the last places held us against our will, for one thing. It's pretty complicated,
being pulled from one world to the next without any control over it but the last portal I took a rocket through.

[Getting into the differences between Riverview, Purg and Lang was one thing, adding Munich or London to that was only going to make this conversation messier.]

In this place? That's always your safest bet.

[talentedscavenger]

That's the hitch to it--if they can get the portal to be pointed in the right direction or something. So they can get the portal to bring items back, but not send people who need to go back, back to their place..

[Pointless to keep going on with that, she's explored that option one too many times.]

...A rocket? And you didn't...get injured?

[alchemyfreak]

That's the thing, I think the stuff shows up just as randomly as we do. The Perimeter Guard just collects it until an owner is identified to come claim it. No one told me the store was here, I saw it walking by one day.

[At the question he realizes they're definitely imagining different things.]

I guess a one seater spaceship might make more sense?

[talentedscavenger]

How do they which item belongs to which person--never mind. One question only leads to others, and I don't think there'll be enough answers.

That does make more sense. A rocket usually involves a weapon, a ship will transport people...or weapons and people.

[alchemyfreak]

No idea.

[And that's that, because she's right. He could speculate but it would only lead to more questions and neither one of them wanted to deal with it right now.]

Where I learned about them, smaller rocket propelled space ships could bet called rockets for short. I guess context made the difference, we flew a rocket in a demonstration at a carnival but it wasn't being used as a weapon then either.

[talentedscavenger]

Context does make the difference, but where I'm from they're almost one in the same. Space ship, rocket.
