[ audio / image ] un: wingingit

[ It starts with a blank screen and cheerful booping that anyone who has met BB-8 will recognize, with muffled conversation in the background.

BB-8 is working on something. The screen flickers from blackness to brief color, goes dark again, then abruptly displays the following image: ]



[ Yes, it is Poe Dameron, standing nobly above a motif of X-wings, over the word "RESISTANCE" and below the words "WATCHING OVER THE SKIES AND STARS."

The background conversation stops. Poe's voice comes through clearly: ] Bee, what are you--BB-8, take that down right now.

[ Annnnnd the image vanishes. ]

Someone's idea of a joke.

[godslay]

And why was it supposed to be funny?

[volitaunt]

Because I find it embarrassing...?

[ HOW TO EXPLAIN CONTEXTUAL HUMOR. ]

[godslay]

Then I’m not understanding why it embarrassed you.

[volitaunt]

I'm the guy on the poster. My friends knew I was about as likely to pose for one of these things as I was likely to fly my X-wing into a sun, so they went ahead and made one without me.

And then stuck it up all over our base.

[godslay]

Ah.

That would actually be amusing.

[ Sorry, Poe… ]

[volitaunt]

They certainly thought so.
