I've never seen so many animals in all my life. Where I'm from, there's no wildlife. None. This place is amazing. [ playing the part. be calm, paige. you'll find your way.]  Although, I'm feeling wobbly as a mother Gorgybird.

[ it's the best thing she can think to say, that might attract the attention of anyone in the Resistance. it's not quite the most accurate signal but it's good enough for this situation.]

Does anyone know where I can see or find more?

[ He all but dives for his comm when BB-8 gets to the latest message on the network and reads it out for him.

Hence, the reason why the comm is dropped twice after he turns it on. Have fun with the twirling visuals before his face appears, Paige. ]

Who is this?

[starfortress]

[ Paige immediately cheers when she sees this familiar face. She scambles to turn it to video and turn the camera so he can see her face clearly. She might be reeling from arriving, from her hospital stay and the fact that she is somehow alive...

Not to mention her back hurts.]

Commander Dameron, you're a sight for sore eyes.

It's a defense mechanism. The gorgy-bird.

[starfortress]

So I've heard. I've never seen one in person. Have you?

Um, there should be animal shelters, but I would guess a lot more wildlife running around now that winter is over?

I've never heard of a Gorgybird before, what are they like?

*Lola's just friendly, don't mind that she sees nothing fishy about such a message.*

Animal shelters? [ what's that?]

They are, apparently, ugly and wobble to distract their predators.

[talentedscavenger]

[Well...that's a phrase that certainly has her attention.]

Gorgybirds are not in this system--place.

[Her eyebrows knit together, trying to figure out what's going on and if she should alert Poe to this.]

Who is this?

[starfortress]

[ Paige never got to see Rey in person, she was on a mission when everything happened but her username helps put some context, maybe.]

My name is Paige. [ pause. she switches it to private; ] Wait... are you Rey? The scavenger from Jakku, the one that helped take down the Starkiller Base?

No wildlife at all?

It was too cold. Barely livable.

[ohhmrburnsides]

Yo! I'm Magnus Burnsides, certified animal lover and extremely willing to take you around to all the animal shelters in town. And also the zoo! If you're interested.

[starfortress]

Magnus, it's nice to meet you. I'm Paige.

...What's a zoo?

[ Karen doesn't get the reference but she does take a picture of the nest of Porgs that have decided to stay at the top of her closet and attaches it to her text. ]

Watch out for these little guys. They will invade your apartment if you let them.

[starfortress]

IS THAT A PORG?

Sorry, I've just never seen one in person and always wanted to.

[bringbackgold]

Like - none. None?

[starfortress]

None. Our planet couldn't sustain wildlife.

[evasives]

There is plenty of wildlife outside the wall.

But I cannot say I've seen any gorgybirds there, nor starships.

[not a pilot, but does he understand that reference?? yes. #spy reasons.]

[starfortress]

Outside the wall? That sounds ominous...

So you understood?

these are literally everywhere save yourself

[ Attached is a picture of Lorna with a porg on her shoulder, its big blank eyes staring placidly into the screen. ]

[starfortress]

Porgs! I've heard. I can't wait to see one myself.

[protectingthelight]

[ What? What? ]

Those are a couple of animal names I didn't expect to see here. Much less the catchphrase.

[starfortress]

[ that name. she knows that name. she immediately switches it to video.]

Vice Admiral Holdo?

[11calls]

What kind of animals are you looking for? Any in particular?

[starfortress]

Any kind, honestly. There weren't any where I grew up.

[Those words always inspire action in Leia, and she has quickly reached for her device upon reading them.

And then she just asks softly:]

Who is this?

[starfortress]

[ HOLY CRAP. paige immediately straightens and she beams into the device's camera.]

It's me, Paige Tico, General.

Video @the.boneless

[ragnarsson]

You'll find a lot of strange animals here. Quite a few are outside the wall. Here, let me show you one.

[There's a brief flash of light, and when it fades, there's a Ponyta staring curiously at the camera, mild black diamond eyes at odds with the flames coming from his mane and tail.]

Say hello, Skinfaxi.

[He whickers softly by way of a greeting.]

[starfortress]

[ Paige probably looks like a kid in a candy shop, to be honest. he's rocking her world.]

What is that? It's beautiful! Is his.. her... name Skinfaxi?

You feel like a what bird?

And some of that wildlife might eat you, you know.

[starfortress]

Gorgybird is a bird from where I'm from.

Really? Which ones?

what the hell is a gorgybird

[starfortress]

They're a type of bird from where I'm from.

[ Sort of.]
