10K. [ She repeats, wondering if it's a designated name he'd chosen for himself, or a name given to him ... something like the identity-marker Finn had been given before he left the First Order to join the Resistance.
It hardly matters here and now anyway, and a quick moment later her expression softens. ] I'm Rey.
[ She shrugs a shoulder. ]
And it's all right. About seeing whatever you saw. I'm not ashamed of it, it's just โ complicated.
[ he almost expects the usual question of "what does that mean", since most people tend to think it's stupid or not a real name at all. with 10k, he doesn't get as many strange looks, but if he leads with "ten thousand" instead, there's the usual insistence that a number can't be a name.
but she seems to accept it pretty easily, his own lips quirking up into a partial smile when she offers her name in return.
he nods, glad that she's at least not mad at him or anything. ]
Most things are. I mean, if you saw my stuff, you'd probably think it was all really weird and crazy. So I get it. We can't really help the kind of stuff we get thrown into, you know?
[ Rey almost has to laugh at his comment, struck by just how incredibly true she feels it in her own life. She was nothing more than an orphan on Jakku, no name, no destiny, no real idea of what the rest of her life was going to look like outside of her desperate dreams. And then out of nowhere, a droid showed up, and Finn showed up, and then she'd been thrown alongside myth and legend and a rebellion that meant to change the fate of the entire galaxy.
Okay, fine. Yeah. She does have to laugh. At least a little. ]
You're right. We can't help the kind of stuff we get thrown into. [ She shakes her head. ] Look where we are, after all that.
[ Honestly she's never really ... given it much more thought than that before. She's also never been to school or had any training, so you'll have to forgive her vague answers. ]
suns are just stars, right? the suns just occupy the same orbit ... but you might have to ask someone smarter than me about it
Apparently there's a particular kind of fruit that only grows up near the very top of certain trees, the best way to get to it is to climb up there and navigate through the canopy.
[ It's reflex, really, that Rey immediately checks her belt for where she keeps her lightsaber hooked at all times. And there's relief when she finds it where it should be, but now she's got other questions.
She doesn't even think to check the username, because that would be the logical thing to do. ]
i haven't lost it
what makes you think i wouldn't have it with me?
this isn't master skywalker, is it?
[ Not the Luke she knows here, younger and sunnier, but her old Master who wouldn't hesitate to chide her like this. ]

[He's very confused, looking at this conversation that seems to have been started by him, but whoever this is, is not the intended recipient. It's a message from years ago. It feels like lifetimes, really, even though he knows it's not been all that long at all.]
Did you say Master Skywalker? [That's very confusing. Anakin isn't a Master. Perhaps he achieves that rank later. But then he knows the Jedi suffer great losses. And based on the way Anakin spoke of it, Obi-Wan and he had been among those lost.]
I'm Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Apologies, this message was not meant for you. It seems the network is playing tricks.
Oh yeah sure. I once carried a defunct ship all the way through a couple solar systems. Though I imagine if I punted the Danae hard enough to send her spinning into a sun, I'd probably just punch right through the hull... My over the top outlet needs some workshopping.
Have you tried the spa option on the holodeck yet?
[ After a long day of learning their way around the new tech that's been installed on the ship he can't think of a better way to unwind. The water might not be real, but the effect it has on sore muscles definitely is, and a much more utilitarian shower to get clean just isn't the same.
Especially when that has less privacy than the holo offers. ]
