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

[bringbackgold]

The least they could do.

[talentedscavenger]

There are many things they could do, who knows if they want to.

[bringbackgold]

I suppose that's true, but there's also much less.

[talentedscavenger]

Like what?

[bringbackgold]

Nothing. They could do nothing. No housing. No work to occupy us. No wall.

They could leave us to whatever creatures are out there.

[talentedscavenger]

True. They could also make it hard for us to earn a living, to have food and shelter.

Many things they could do, at least for now they're doing something rather than nothing.

[bringbackgold]

Exactly. And if there's something you're seeking,
I don't think asking will hurt anything.

[talentedscavenger]

Don't think there's anything I would ask for.

[Well, aside from the obvious but, she already had her answer to that.]

[bringbackgold]

Then you're unusual.


Not that it's a bad thing.

[talentedscavenger]

I wasn't thinking it would be a bad thing.

[bringbackgold]

Some people might take being unusual the wrong way.

[talentedscavenger]

True, but I hadn't taken offense to it. I'm not the 'usual' type, as you've seen.

[bringbackgold]

Definitely. Good.

I'm Otabek, by the way.

[talentedscavenger]

I'm Rey.

How long have you been here?

[bringbackgold]

About...six months.

Yourself?

[talentedscavenger]

About a month, I'd say.

Is this place anything like your home world?

[bringbackgold]

Not really. There's no monsters, magic, superpowers, or anything like that.

Is yours?

[talentedscavenger]

Similar in the sense that, there are people...and not similar in that, things are very different here in terms of transportation and technology.

[bringbackgold]

Ah. Sounds interesting.

[talentedscavenger]

It is, but also have to be mindful of words having different meanings.

[bringbackgold]

Really? I guess that could be true. Like learning another language.

[talentedscavenger]

Almost, more like, a slight variation. The main parts are there, just assembled differently.

[bringbackgold]

Ah. A dialect. I understand. Has it been difficult?

[ He relates to learning different languages. ]

[talentedscavenger]

[Learning different languages is something she's done in the past...and wouldn't rule out learning others.]

Yes, and no. It's more like trying to find that common foundation and then building it upon there.

Ship, could mean sea vessel and in most instances that's what people tend to think. Whereas for me, ship means spaceship. Vessel for space.

[bringbackgold]

Ah. That makes sense. I think of... the ones on water. Spaceships aren't really thing where I'm from except in science-fiction.
