Commander.

[It's very late. Were you sleeping, Dameron?]

[followhim]

Grand... Admiral? [he WAS. why are you doing this to him???]

[mitthrawnaruto]

I apologize for calling so late in the evening, however I only just returned to my current lodgings—

[A deliberate pause, as though checking something.] —and realized that I must have missed your earlier attempt to contact me.

[followhim]

[if you're trying to call him out on not doing his homework ... it's not going to work because 1) he's not awake enough, and 2) even if he were there's only like a 50/50 chance he'd get it.]

What? I didn't do that ... [he's trying to be quiet bc he's sleeping next to finn you monster.]

Poe! Rey left the room to us, but I talked to her before she left. You want to meet me here?

[At least he doesn't sound distraught or something, right?]

[followhim]

Yeah, sure, I'll be right there.

[he would ask how it went but finn's tone sounds ... good??? not ... you know, angry or sad or anything. that he can tell. so maybe it's good news. and he's not that far from the room anyway, so he doesn't feel like prolonging the conversation when he can just bust in like the kool-aid man. (except slower. he doesn't run the whole way this time.)

he just opens the door with no greeting besides:]

What happened?

[militarized]

Rey just explained some stuff, that's all. It was just a big misunderstanding like I thought. She's heading to the Sea Clan territory soon, and she figured you'd want some space, so she left us the room while she's gone.

[That's sort of what happened.]

We thought that all mind reading had to be torture, and she said it isn't like that. She's afraid that you think she's evil just because she has the same kind of power Kylo Ren has.

[forcevisions]

How's it going with Youmi?

[ what she really means is 'how's it going with not murdering ben' but you can't just come out of the gate with that. ]

[followhim]

everything's great. i'm learning archery

[yeah ur gonna have to dig deeper for those deets]

[forcevisions]

Why are you learning archery?

text | @keith

[secondnature]

I couldn't get through to her.

[That's it. That's the message.

Keith will not be replying.]

[followhim]

what? what happened?

keith?

???

[he sends each message with decent-sized pauses in-between, giving up after the third. it must've been bad. really bad.

welp. good thing he and rey were going to go out for drinks back at hq. she owes him at least one drink. he ... can't wait ......... ]

during azeria preparations / aka forces myself upon you

[forcevisions]

[ Telepaths.

Of course they're bloody telepaths. It leaves Rey feeling weird about talking to Poe because no matter how comfy Scott is with the concept, she knows that Poe has telepath trauma. This world must be as bad for him as Hanabira was for her. Just constantly barraged by his trauma.

She catches him alone while some of the negotiators are working with the vulphytes to get their trust. ]

This place is really beautiful, isn't it?

👌

[followhim]

[it left him a little on edge, to be sure, but he was trying very hard to be okay with it. the vulphytes were innocuously curious, peering into his mind through the window instead of TRYING TO TAKE A CHAINSAW TO THE DOOR. there's some real immersion therapy going on here. maybe. also, the vulphytes are very cute.]

Uh, yeah. [he's taken off-guard by rey approaching him, having been preoccupied with his own thoughts.] It kind of reminds me of home. All the green and everything.

[forcevisions]

The closest I'd seen to a place like this was Takodana.

[ Until they landed, obviously. She pulls up a seat on an overgrown tree root. The tree roots are so big you can SIT ON THEM. Wild. ]

This is better. [ She folds her arms over her knees. ]

shortly after that Loki clusterfuck post; un: cyclops

[evenslimmer]

Poe? It's Scott. There's something I want to ask you, if you're up for talking about it.

[followhim]

yeah, sure. what's up?

[evenslimmer]

What is the deal with Kylo Ren?

I know you know him and obviously don't like him, and I know there's a history there that seems pretty painful. You don't have to tell me about it. I really didn't want to do this at all, but the more I think about it, the more concerned about him I become. Pretty soon we're going to have to start making moves.

[ It's late, well past curfew, when there's a knock on the door. Finn has been gone a few days now; she can't possibly be here for him, but standing on the other side of the door is Rey, red in the face but dry-eyed. She has a bag hanging over her shoulder, her quarterstaff and laser pike in hand. ]

[followhim]

[ finn sure has been gone for a few days. and when the last time they'd really talked was during a huge Confrontation with rey where finn took rey's side against him, he can't help but feel responsible. finn didn't understand him, maybe finn didn't like him anymore. and now he's gone.

he wanted to be leia. endure loss after loss and still keep going. finn could disagree with him, stop believing in him, but if he couldn't lead the resistance to survival then there was no point to any of it. just as he'd chose the resistance for his incentive over leia, he could choose the resistance over finn, too.

and it hurt. but urahara was right. he knew he was right at the time, but he lets the words wash over him now. you won't have much of a world left if you only concern yourself with the people you're closest to and don't look at the big picture. if choices were easy, they wouldn't be choices.

that's the introspection you missed on glee. 🎵 comin out of my cage and i've been doing just bad 🎵

poe has taken this time alone to commit more Violence on Inanimate Objects. the maintenance droids repaired his tv, but his hands look re-bandaged and there are new strips of bandages on his forearms. he seems to be holding one of the roombas hostage. it's his only friend.

so he looks kind of red-faced too when he opens the door. embarrassed that his life is a god damn mess. (he's stripped down to a tank top and boxers, but judging by the lucidity level, had not been sleeping.) he immediately sees the bag and goes ??? inside. ]

Hey. Uh ... are you okay? What's wrong? ... It's late.

[forcevisions]

[ What a question. What a series of questions, in an order that makes Rey feel like she's teetering on the brink of further tears. They don't come, though. Some distant part of her, some delusional hopeful part, thinks maybe he'll come back. That's why she'd known she couldn't stay in that room — it was as desolate as Jakku and twice as disappointing. She couldn't do that to herself again. Wouldn't.

If he came back, then … that would be then. For now, she can't just wait around. She can't give up.

Unfortunately, all this introspection and self-reflection does Poe no good. She needs to form actual words into sentences. She can do this. Stars, she doesn't know where to start. ]

I know. I'm sorry. And I know that we're not … [ Oh man. This is the hard part. The fact that things aren't good between them right now either, but she knows that Keith has his own thing with Voltron, and she doesn't want to impede on that, and she'd already imposed on Hayame enough. She draws a breath. Straight to the point. ] Can I stay with you?
