If anyone has been contacted by Poe Dameron about being turned into a bird...

He is fine. He is well. ~~For the time being.~~ [deleted]

I'm taking care of it...

And I truly do apologize for his...excitement, for lack of a better term.

If anyone is upset, just contact me directly.

Thank you.

To be honest, it's more confusing than anything else.

But..different world, different ships.

[ Bill chuckles. ]

You're more accepting of it than I was, at first.

I've been around ships all of my life. There are different designs, and if I were to continue to think about it, I might get a headache.

Best to accept that and move on.

I suppose that makes sense. It's not like that for me. We don't really have spaceships on my planet, at least not in my time.

What's your planet like then?

Well...?

[ Bill pauses, trying to think how to describe Earth to someone who's never heard of it before. ]

It's all humans, except for a few aliens who come visit or try to take over from time to time. We've no magic, or anything like that. Mostly it's... normal? Just a few billion people trying to live their lives every day.

But it's good. It's home, you know?

[...Intriguing to say the least.]

If aliens do try to take over, wouldn't everyone be prepared for it? Or invest in some sort defense against it?

[She's curious, really she is.]

it sounds like it's a home that works for you. Not many can say that.

[ Rey can't see, but Bill is making a strained sort of face. ]

Well, it's weird. After my friend or whoever puts a stop to the invasion, and things go back to normal and the aliens leave, everyone just sort of... forgets.

[ It sounds weird, Bill knows it does, but she's seen it, when they defeated the Monks. ]

[Rey is trying to wrap her head around that...give her a moment.]

That is very weird. If a battle took place, there would be evidence of it...and people would have to notice it.

Unless, no offense, the people from your world are..the forgetful kind? Maybe?

Well, there's no battles, really. He usually gets them to leave by talking to them, or tricking them. Or beating them some other way, with his mind and his hearts.

[ Yeah. Plural. ]

But yeah... I think most people just don't have room in their minds for a world that is visited by aliens all the time, so they'd rather live without knowing they exist.

Wait, he? He, who? Your friend?

[And it doesn't surprise her that they may have two hearts. Different species, different anatomy and all.]

It sounds like it would be a bit boring after a while. To have something happen and then forget, and not be prepared for the next possible attack. It doesn't make much sense to me.

Yeah, my friend. The Doctor. He's brilliant.

[ She means that both in the way of describing his intelligence and also just in that he's great. ]

It can be boring. It can be so, so boring. [ That's part of why she stayed with the Doctor, after all the mess with Heather. There was just too much excitement to be seen. ]

A Doctor? A doctor of what exactly?

[Forgive her for not catching the 'The' in the name.]

So I take it you like living here then?

[ That's alright, everyone does. It's just one of those things. ]

No, not "a" doctor, "The" Doctor. It's his name.

[ Not his real name, according to Missy, but it's what he goes by and that's good enough for Bill. ]

Here's alright. I know I'll have to go back eventually, but here isn't so bad.

What about you, do you like it here?

[...How can a person just be called The Doctor? No, no it'll make her head hurt, really it well.]

Okay...I suppose he's earned it, saving lives and such.

[That just can't be his real name, but whatever.]

It's different to say the least. Much different from where I'm from in terms of technology, and the people...and just the feel of the place. It's peaceful.

Is Jakku not peaceful?

[ That is where she said she was from, right? ]

[Yup, Jakku is where she's from...sort of.]

Yes, and no. Jakku is a desert, so nothing really happens there. I mean, there's more life here. There's nothing...depressing about this place, for lack of a better word.

Oh, wow. I've never been to a desert before.

[ Unless you count Mars... but then she'd spent most of her time on Mars underground. ]

Well that's good! I know a little what it's like living somewhere so depressing. Where every day is just the same and you feel like you'd do anything to get away.

[ Granted, Bristol isn't much like Jakku BUT STILL. ]

I suggest avoid going if you can. The heat isn't for everyone.

[No idea what mars is like...and what's mars? Like a candy bar?]

It was more of, I was waiting for something to happen. I kept going and going with the hope of seeing someone again. It didn't happen, but I'm glad I left. There really wasn't anything there for me.

Oh.

[ That sounds... lonely. But Bill doesn't know Rey that well, so she won't comment. ]

Well that's good. Did you come straight here from there?

[ Yeah, it was lonely. No need to ask. It was. ]

No, I was on a different planet before coming here.

Oh? What was that planet like?

A desert. That’s basically it.

You went from one desert planet to another one?

Sorry, no, I was thinking of a different place.

The other planet I was on had more greenery to it.
