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?]

Comments

[scholiast]

(It's a bad habit.)

Oh. I think
Somebody mentioned you in passing to me, told me I should contact you about exploring outside of the city, past the walls.

[talentedscavenger]

[ She doesn’t know what it exactly means but, it doesn’t sound like an insult so...that’s fine.

But someone mentioned her?]

Depends, who brought up my name?

[scholiast]

Cisco Ramon. Just in passing; I was talking to him about going out there, but not knowing my way.

[talentedscavenger]

I don't know my way either, but I'm supposed to head out there soon. Maybe make a map of where I go.

[scholiast]

You're making a map?

(Yes, this is her jam.)

Would you
I mean, if I'm intruding and you wouldn't like a hand, that's fine. But do you need a hand?

[talentedscavenger]

I might be.

[And Poe said he had the maps she made from...before. But how..interesting that someone would suddenly jump at the chance to go with her.]

I don't know yet. It depends on how much ground we cover. Are you looking for something specific from the Abandoned City?

[scholiast]

Nothing in particular, no.

I used to work as a chronicler for the Institute of Planar Research and Exploration; we were visiting planet after planet, and I liked exploring them and taking notes on... well, everything, I suppose. So it's really just curiousity talking.

[talentedscavenger]

So you're more in the need of a guide then.

[And it's curious that they're been to other planets...Which makes Rey wonder if they've come across the First Order or not.]

Which planets have you visited?

[scholiast]

I suppose.

Too many to list; one hundred, in total.

(Rey took that very well, leading Lucretia to guess:)

Have you visited other planets too?

[talentedscavenger]

Let me think about it.

Only one other, Takodana. Have you heard of it?

[scholiast]

Of course.

Takodana... perhaps? We didn't acquire names for all of the places we visited, and ended up naming some ourselves. What is it like?

[talentedscavenger]

Lush forests. More green than I ever thought there could be in the galaxy..

And there was the cantina that was there.

[scholiast]

It doesn't ring a bell, but I'm not too surprised– I'd be naive to assume we'd visited most planets in the planar system.

Are you from this place?

[talentedscavenger]

No, I'm from a planet that's the complete opposite. It's all sand and desert, Jakku.

[scholiast]

We visited a sand and desert place, once. Completely uninhabited.

The dunes were multi-coloured; there was no water to be seen for miles. We had a lot of problems with that, actually. It stormed a lot, but it was so hot and dry.
