[ 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. ]

I gotta say, Starfleet never did a poster with my face on it. I'm almost jealous right now.

[ He's had his fits of annoyance at this point, at least. He can enjoy this for what it is: a reminder of a moment of levity in darkness. ]
There was a whole week when I couldn't turn a corner in the base without my face on a wall and somebody laughing.
no subject
[ He is putting all the possible and imaginable emphasis on the word 'special' because he's an ass like that. ]
Well, it could be worse. At least that's your good angle. Not that you have a bad angle, mind. You're all made of very fine angles, trust me. [ Totally unbiased opinion, based on strict scientific observation. ]
no subject
[ He Knows Where Your Brain Lives, sir.
AND HEY, HE'S GOT NO COMEBACK FOR THE SECOND PART. Mostly his stomach is doing that buzzy thing and his brain is going whargarble. ] That's.
[ "No you" is not the right response. ] Thank. You?
no subject
[ His mind does not live in the gutter, for the record; his mind is the gutter.
He's secretly pleased that he managed to practically render Poe speecheless for a moment. Also excuse you, but 'no you' is definitely the right response. He is also all made of fine angles, thank you very much. ]
You sound unsure. [ An eyebrow raises minutely. ] But I meant it. And you're welcome.
no subject
He's also just not sure how to process the fact that the whole "we are all possibly going to die so let's laugh about what we can" thing is not true here. He's getting there, but it leaves him a little at sea sometimes, humor-wise.
He just drags his hand through his hair. ]
Anyway, I got seven holocubes of this thing, and BB-8 apparently thought it needed to be shared.
no subject
He decides it's better to ease up a little. Not that he'll completely stop teasing Poe, of course. Far too much fun for him to give that up. ]
Clearly he felt we all deserved to see it. [ He can imagine Poe has gotten a few people making fun of him for it so far. ] So what are you gonna do with the holocubes? Wait— if you're taking suggestions, you should auction them. Give the money away to charity, if you don't want to keep it.
no subject
I am not auctioning these off.
[ He was going to destroy them tbqh but he hasn't been able to bring himself to do it. It's a little piece of home he's not quite willing to give up. ]
no subject
[ He pouts, a little exaggeratedly. ]
I think you look cool. Can't say I'd mind getting my hands on one of those, but... you let me take a picture with you so I can add it to my album and I'll let it go.
no subject
[ Your pout does not move him, Jim!!! ]
I look ridiculous. I'd rather take a picture.
[ Even if photos are weird and static. ]
no subject
[ Because, as Poe is likely aware of at this point, Jim does appreciate his own looks very much. ]
You look great, you're just self-conscious about it. Your friend did you justice, trust me.
no subject
[ His looks. They don't matter. They have no utility, they serve no purpose. It's frustrating and embarrassing to be so consistently reminded of something that makes no difference in the fight.
Spoilers Kirk your First Officer has Pretty Obvious Priorities and they all center around how to do his job. ]
no subject
The thing is, one doesn't invalidate the other. Poe being pretty doesn't change the fact that he's reliable and competent, and it certainly doesn't change the way Jim trusts him to do his job. It's not like he has to choose one or the other.
Or maybe Jim's just too vain. Not that he'll stop either way. He likes knowing he's attractive, and he makes sure to always look his best, no matter what. ]
Seems like I won't change your mind. [ His lips curl a little, but he figures it's for the best that he just lets it go. ] I still hope you won't throw them away, but we should take some pictures together anyway. You know, for posterity. [ Maybe include the rest of the shuttle crew, why not. ]
no subject
[ Poe picks one of the little cubes up, rolling it between his fingers without turning it on. ] Wouldn't want to hurt Yolo's feelings if he shows up.
[ And That Is The Only Reason. ] You want good looking--why don't I drag Cassian along? Hell, let's get the whole crew.
[ Great minds??? ]
no subject
That would make for quite the picture. Although I'm not sure my camera could handle all those good-looking people together in the same picture. [ Himself included obviously. ]
