[ Hux is seated at a desk with his chin resting on curled fingers, not quite at ease but in a stylised sort of contemplation. Black blazer (donned just for the broadcast) over an immaculate white shirt; civilian clothes because he can't exactly wear his uniform all the time, his meagre handout of credits having been put to tasteful use. It means nothing on this moon whether he wears FO insignia, anyway. Won't leave an impression. No, that's all down to him and a smooth introduction. ]

Good Evening. This is an appeal to anyone who may have access to a shuttle, the kind commonly used for interstellar purposes. Should it be possible to procure an adequate pilot, I'm willing to pay for a private aerial viewing of the Abandoned City. Your craft ought to have defensive measures and attack capabilities, of course, as a standard precaution. I'd rather not take chances.

Other than that, I'm ... flexible on price.

[ But not so much that he'll let himself be robbed by a scam artist, says the glint of a green eye. ]

Any amenability to this proposal is appreciated.

[ He dismisses the broadcast without another word but a curt nod that he intends to signal some measure of gratitude. Not that it matters unless someone actually responds. Having deliberately snubbed approaching Ren prior to this, Hux is also prepared to hear some loud, nasal complaints and Rebel scum whining from the eaves. ]

[ Have fun sleeping in the bed next to this guy later, Val. ]

It's called duty, something I doubt you know very much about.

[trashvalkyrie]

don't talk to me about duty
my sword has tasted the blood of asgard's enemies since before your kind were even thought of
but i also don't go around wasting energy when it's not necessary

[did that get a little hardcore??? whoops]

[fhux]

Temper, temper.

[trashvalkyrie]

say that to my face
i'll shove my temper right up your arse

[fhux]

[ okay but seriously, ]

Do you know Kylo Ren, by any chance?

[trashvalkyrie]

why

[fhux]

A hunch.

[trashvalkyrie]

[ JUST GONNA SLIDE A THREADJACK IN HERE: ]

You would be correct.

[trashvalkyrie]

oh good my intuition hasn't failed me

[not here, just fuming in his chair]

[fhux]

[ sTOP MAKING EVERYONE THINK THERE'S DISSENT IN THESE UNSPOKEN RANKS, SUPREME JERK ]

[fhux]

You have no context for that.

[trashvalkyrie]

i have three thousand years worth of good instincts

[fhux]

Not around me you don't.

[trashvalkyrie]

you talk a big game for someone who can't even fly a ship by himself

[fhux]

I could BUILD a ship AND pilot it, I simply haven't the time.

[trashvalkyrie]

hm
yeah
you're too busy trying to make someone else do it for you
makes sense

[fhux]

Yes, obviously. Did you miss the entire point of the broadcast.

[trashvalkyrie]

no trust me i got it
what i'm wondering is why you wasted all this time trying to get someone else to do your work for you
instead of just doing it
yourself

[fhux]

Because it's FASTER.

[trashvalkyrie]

your logic is flawed, mate
