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?

[realists]

As ugly as they sound.

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.*

[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]

I'd still love to see one someday.

Animal shelters? [ what's that?]

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

No wildlife at all?

[volitaunt]

[ ABRUPT AND TOTAL DELIGHT. ]

Paige! Where are you? When did you get here? Are you all right, you have somewhere to stay?

[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?

It was too cold. Barely livable.

[starfortress]

[ She laughs with her whole body, wincing slightly at the twinge in her back.]

I'm a little sore, if I'm being honest. But I'm okay. They let me out of the hospital today so I'm at the place they told me I live. I've been here a day or two.

I'm still having a hard time believing this is all real.

[childofaxios]

Mining colony?

[ That's her immediate assumption T B H. ]

[threatenwithcuteness]

Um, shelters, for taking care of stray animals?

*Lola's sounding equal parts confused and horrified.*

Huh, such a weird phrase, if it's about a defense mechanism and not just a strange looking animal.

[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]

[ ... ]

How'd you know that?

[starfortress]

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

...What's a zoo?

[childofaxios]

No other reason for humans to be somewhere otherwise uninhabitable.

[ Her default is still humans whoops. ]

[ 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.

[volitaunt]

Yeah, that doesn't go away. The whole not believing it's real thing.

[ The delight is gone tho. ]

Today? How long were you in there? Which floor, which room--the housing building I mean not the hospital.

[ He's already getting up and heading out his door, carrying the comm. ]

[realists]

[ ATTACHMENT ]

[starfortress]

Since I got here. [ Because a fall like she had should have killed her. But instead, an explosion had to do it. She's also a little surprised that he doesn't seem more shocked to see her but... Poe Dameron is one of those guys who can be hard to read, truly. ]
Communal Housing; Floor 1, Bed 7. [ she says it like it was recited to her more than a few times.]

Where are you going, sir?

[starfortress]

That's... completely fair, actually. So I take it you're familiar with mining colonies then?
