[ 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. ]

they're definitely that. not the newest models--those are the T-85s--but the way we fly them they might as well be fresh from the assembly line.

hey, a dependable piece of shit has saved the galaxy more than once, where i'm from.

[trashvalkyrie]

oh good
glad its not just me representing

im Val by the way
does our glorious rebel leader have a name
otherwise i can come up with some clever variations on douchebag

[volitaunt]

poe.

and i'm definitely not the leader, that's general organa. she's not here. she's where i SHOULD be but y'know, beggars and choosers.

[trashvalkyrie]

poe it is

if you have a woman as a leader then your kind is clearly doing something right
its ok though i know how it is
i should be somewhere else too.

[volitaunt]

i don't think we could find a better leader even if we felt like trying.

mind if i ask where?

[trashvalkyrie]

a good leader's the most important part of any battle

a spaceship actually
a huge one
it's got...my entire people on it
i'm supposed to be helping them find a new home

[volitaunt]

your

oh

[ He hates saying something as trite as I'm sorry in the face of something like that. So, a long pause, then: ]

have any prospects?

[trashvalkyrie]

it's fine
it's all good

or
i don't know
we will whenever we get back

[volitaunt]

okay, is it weird to NO ONE else that there's just a planet named dirt?

[ Because there are SO MANY PEOPLE FROM EARTH HERE. ]

[trashvalkyrie]

oh my god
yeah
right???
it's so anticlimactic

[volitaunt]

THANK YOU.

ivar said his people called it midgard, which at least is a decent name.

[trashvalkyrie]

yeah thats what people on Asgard called it too
makes a hell of a lot more sense than dirt world

[volitaunt]

Asgard and Midgard. Related worlds? Do you think you're from the same universe?

[trashvalkyrie]

those are just our names for them
but i think there are different versions of each
ive already met the double of one of my teammates from a different...universe
timeline
not sure what the right word for it is

[volitaunt]

[ A long pause. ]

this place is kriffing weird.

[trashvalkyrie]

kriffing huh
that's a new one

[volitaunt]

i'm a connoisseur of interplanetary curses.

[trashvalkyrie]

maybe i should teach you some Asgardian ones then
they're much more fun

[volitaunt]

yes

[ that's it that's the tag ]

[trashvalkyrie]

done deal then

[short and sweet]
