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.

[Jon is, for all his brooding, more or less a kind and affable man. But his expression has gone from friendly to sober and troubled through the course of this exchange.]

When I was a boy, I made a vow to stay somewhere without fully understanding what it meant, and I was only released from it by... by accident. I made it because I didn't know what else to do, and I didn't have anywhere else to go, but it was still my choice. Until the moment I made it, I could have left freely. It was a harsh place, but I think that in many ways, Jakku was harsher for you.

Things are better for you now? How did you get away? Not only by coming to Riverview, I gather.

[..Well, no one said her life was easy. She didn't mean to make this entire conversation about her, or her life. They could talk about the different planets she's been to instead if he wants.]

Jakku was a world I lived on for many years, and for all it's harshness, I learned how to survive. Not many can say that. I am not bitter about it, and learned it's best to move on.

[There's a nod of her head.] Things are better for me, and not because of coming here.

I left because of a droid--a robot, a round mechanical being, named BB-8. I found him on Jakku, and then Finn, a friend, found me..and one thing lead to another, and we left. [Minus them fleeing because of the First Order and being shot at.]

[northerndragon]

The one who talks in numbers! [BB-8's reputation precedes him.]

It's good that you got away. Where did you get away to? We're bound to the ground where I'm from, Rey... everyone but Daenerys. She rides her dragon. I can only ride in a winch cage or climb a tower's steps to get high in the air, and then only so high as people can build. Touching the stars sounds like a miracle.

Yes! Him! He speaks in binary. It's a pretty interesting language, and easy to learn. [She thinks it's easy to learn, but that's her.] How did you come across him?

I ended up on a ship, a magnificent one called the Millennium Falcon. We landed on a planet called Takodana....there was so much green, more than I ever thought possible in the entire galaxy. [Her voice takes on a softer tone then, still in awe of what she saw.] We stayed there for a few hours and then went elsewhere... [With her getting kidnapped, but shhh. No need to get into that.]

She had told me as much! Flying is a very freeing experience. Piloting the Falcon was amazing. When you make that jump into Lightspeed--literally the speed of light, the colors and the light itself is amazing, but when you're actually flying and are with the stars...there's nothing like it.

What is your world like then? I know ships are used for ocean travel. Are there any other magnificent creatures like dragons in your world?
