FINN

[forcesensitive]

a) caprine

[This can be backdated a bit! Come and meet your newest crewmate, Caprine. Slightly disappointed by the lack of private bunks, Finn quickly settles in to his role as Security and spends the first few days thoroughly familiarizing himself with the ship. The food isn't nearly as bad as he'd been warned, especially with their nice, upgraded kitchen. Most of all, he seems very relieved to be off the lonely Marsiva.]

b) shopping

[While he doesn't have a whole lot of money yet, Finn has decided to invest what he does have in a gas mask so he can get out and explore. He avoids anything terrible Stormtrooper-like with a passion, which leads to looking at some of the more esoteric masks. A bird? A plant? Come help him make a decision that isn't terrible!]

c) catch-all

[Anything else? Feel free to add in something!]

B!

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ Kirk and Finn thought alike, it seems. Nothing in the shopping area held much interest for him aside from the masks that would give him the ability to go out and explore. The scenery was enough to ward most people off, but not him. He was to innately curious to simply not go out there.

He noticed Finn looking through the different options and took up a rather utilitarian looking one and held it out. ]</sub>

This one will work as well as any of those, it just has less decoration - if you want to save money, that is.

[forcesensitive]

[Finn looks up, startled because he was deep in contemplation. After a very brief moment, he seems to relax and nods.]

I don't have that much money yet. Just got here.

[Finn rubs the back of his head, looking rueful.]

But I kinda like the different designs.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Kirk chuckled and nodded. ]}

Yeah, some of them are interesting. I guess I just worry about functionality getting sacrificed for looking pretty.

_{[ He glanced out the window of the shop, out into the polluted air and beyond to the tops of the forests that surrounded this place. ]}

And if you want to go exploring out there, I don't think standing out is going to work in your favor. Just a feeling.

[forcesensitive]

But why would they be here if they didn't work right? [Don't they want people to be able to breathe out there?

But as for standing out, he shakes his head.] I think we're all going to stand out anyway. And look at the people who live here - most of them have some kind of interesting mask. Well. The ones I've seen.

B. 1/2

[throwsdown]

[ALL OF A SUDDEN, POPPING OUT FROM AROUND THE CORNER--]



[SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--]

1/2

[throwsdown]

[But then he pulls down the mask, revealing a normal little dude.

Lil' lad. Wee child.]

Hi! Whatcha' getting?

[forcesensitive]

[Finn, for his part, is easily startled; this place seems safe enough, but just a few hours ago he'd been dragged into some weird mud-wrestling competition and he's not sure he wants to do that again, even if his bank account had mysteriously skyrocketed after the fact. Luckily, the kid reveals himself pretty quickly, and Finn Flashes him a bright smile.]

Oh man, you had me there! Good move.

[He gestures toward several masks.] Trying to figure out which one I should get. What do you think?

[throwsdown]

[He taps his chin, considering all of the masks.]

Mmm... That's a real good question! I haven't even figured out my favorite one.

What kind of things d'you like? Maybe we can find something!

[beardstrokes]

[ Obi-Wan drops him a message to meet up on the Iskaulit. Now that he has his own lightsaber (sort of), it'll be easier to train Finn. Compared to all the other things people have asked of him lately, lightsaber training is by far the easiest . . . and the one Obi-Wan looks forward to the most.

For all his ragging on Anakin and his favouritism of the lightsaber, Obi-Wan is no better. ]

[forcesensitive]

[Likewise, Finn has been looking forward to meeting up with some Jedi in person and actually getting to learn how to use a lightsaber instead of bluffing his way through a fight. So he sends an acknowledgment promptly and arrives precisely on time; rather than his ship jumpsuit he's in his usual jacket-over-black-undersuit because it gives him better freedom of movement, especially if he forgoes the jacket.

And when he sees someone obviously in Jedi robes, his expression lights up with a smile.]

General--I mean, Obi-Wan?

[If he's sensing Finn's feelings, it's primarily excitement though there's an undertone of worry that probably won't go away unless his friend Rey shows up at some point.]

[beardstrokes]

[ He frowns lightly, sensing it through the Force. It's no good to begin lightsaber training without the proper mind set. ]

Something you'd like to talk about before you get started?

[forcesensitive]

[Considering he doesn't exactly know what the proper mindset is, Finn misses the direction of the question entirely. Still, there's probably plenty that he should tell Obi-Wan, so he pauses a moment to think about what to start with. Running the gamut from by the way I was a Stormtrooper to hey is it true only people with the Force can use a lightsaber, he decides to settle on the most obvious one.]

Tell you the truth, I don't really know much about lightsabers. They're a Jedi's weapon, and I know what they can do, but until a little while ago I never even saw one in action. So--where should I start? Can you help me?

READY FOR THE MOST HETERO REUNION EVER BUDDY

[helluva_pilot]

[Poe stays on the Golden just long enough to say hello to everyone and be polite, but he's got something he needs to do. Talking to Finn was great, but he needs to see the guy is okay in person.

So at the first possible instant, he grabs one of the shuttles and heads for the Caprine. Then he's moving down the halls, looking for one person in particular.]

Finn? Finn!

MY BODY IS READY

[forcesensitive]

[He's lucky to find Finn on his ship - he's been spending a lot of time on the moon - but sure enough he hears the familiar voice and grins.]

Poe?

[He leaves his impromptu lunch of meat-texture beef protein sprinkled with vitamin powder and black pepper in the galley and sprints down the hallway, and when he sees his friend Poe is going to get tackled with a bear hug.]

You're really here!

AND MY HEART WENT BOOM

[helluva_pilot]

[Rib-cracking bear hug, go. Beyond how good it is to see a familiar face, it's Finn, and he's in one piece and looking damn good.]

So are you! Just look at you!

[forcesensitive]

[As much as he's liked everything in this place--and, with very few exceptions, that's been the case--it's a profound relief to have someone here from his time, one of his friends.]

I was beginning to think everyone here was from the past.

[...Not letting go just yet.]

Good to see you, man.

( b )

[partialities]

[ you know what, finn? such endeavors require the help of a lady. ]

I should think the bird would be very befitting.

[ she is standing just behind him, almost out of place in her gown and mask. the flowers are faux, of course, but they add a nice touch. she was so dearly hoping to find one in green and gold but what can you do.

the mask is currently around her neck, she will not wear it unless she must. pretty as it is, she still finds the entire concept quire dreadful but she will reach to pick up the bird mask and offer it to him ]

we will not know unless you try.

[forcesensitive]

[Finn's eyes widen at being offered a suggestion, and he offers her a slightly hesitant smile when he turns to see her.]

You don't think it would be too much?

[Though why not give it a try? He'd been considering it anyway, and this way he can get someone else's opinion - someone who clearly has a better fashion sense than he does. So he takes the offered bask and straps it on with ease. When he speaks, his voice is slightly muffled.]

Comfortable enough. Does it go with my jacket?

[partialities]

Who would dare say if it were? I would think with such an impressive mask, no one shall think to complain.

[ she smiles and claps her hands, evidently excited with the result of her interference. ]

it is beautiful and very well-suited to the jacket. You shall be the most impressive traveler upon this odd little world.

[forcesensitive]

Guess I could always challenge them to a game if they do. [He holds out his hands in front of him and looks around, making sure he has a fairly wide range of vision. It's no worse than what he's used to.]

Yeah? [The smile can be heard in his voice, if not seen.] But what if I poke someone's eye out?

a - backdated to some nebulous date

[nextlineis]

[You know what's awful about these ships? It's not the communal room. It's not the food. It's the fairly narrow hallway. Which is maybe not such a bad thing if people are walking and taking their time, because then people can pause and be sure to maneuver around each other without colliding and all of that good stuff.]

[Unfortunately, not everyone is taking life at such a leisurely pace. There's probably nothing to worry about when it comes to the white, fluffy dog that whips past Finn with a communicator in her mouth. The dog who he will learn the name of because shortly after she races past him, he'll hear:]

Cloudy! That's not a toy!

[So, it's not Cloudy that's to worry about so much as it's probably the 6'5" captain of the Caprine that's racing after her that's probably something to worry about because he most definitely runs straight into Finn. While the collision does nothing to Joseph in terms of knocking him over or slowing him down (because he's built like a brick shithouse), he does actively slow down a few steps after smacking into him. Joseph half-turns to look at Finn, glancing after Cloudy, and obviously ready to go racing after the dog at a moment's notice.]

You okay? [he asks hurriedly as he's already starting to inch towards the direction of the dog, rather than offering any help to get Finn up on his feet again if he fell. And then,] Sorry, she's got my communicator. So, I really can't— Do you mind if I come back to this conversation later?

[forcesensitive]

Whoa!

[The dog is a bit of a surprise in and of herself, though since he saw a fox over the network on his first day it's not totally unheard-of. Getting run into, however, is what really knocks the breath out of him. He doesn't fall down either, but it's a very tight fit.]

Uh--sure? I'll be in the armory.

[Welcome to the Caprine?]

[nextlineis]

[Joseph flashes a smile as he gives a small bounce in the direction Cloudy took off in, and then he's off. At least he calls over his shoulder,] Thanks!

[And that's the last Finn will see of Joseph for about twenty minutes. Not because it actually takes twenty minutes for him to catch Cloudy and get his communicator back, but because Joseph legitimately forgets he was going to come back and talk to him in the first place. Things happened quickly, and, well. Joseph's a little bit of a ditz. Let's just be honest. Anyway, he does show up in the doorway of the armory looking for Finn, Cloudy this time trotting at his side rather than sprinting on ahead.]

Oh hey! You're still in here... [Joseph smiles, trying not to look relieved that he doesn't have to try and track Finn down, as Cloudy scampers forward to go inspect Finn.] Sorry about earlier. That's not usually how I try to greet new crew.

[forcesensitive]

Uh, you looked a little busy.

[Finn's seated and inspecting one of the handguns to make sure it's clean and in good working condition. That the weapon is entirely unfamiliar to him doesn't bother him at all, since the augment makes up for it, and having a job that makes use of his skills is actually a comfort to him. He sets the gun down carefully and stands up.]

I'm Finn. Security, but you probably figured that out.
