[boy oh boy, isn't everyone just so excited to explore this... charming... place...?

this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

[ He smiles, but it's faint and strained. ]

Well, perhaps it's best to leave the past where it is.
forcesensitive: (if you say so)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-03-31 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Some of it? Yeah, it would. But you can't tell me it was all bad back then.

[Even if they had been in a war.]
beardstrokes: (But it must be earned)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-03-31 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't. Some even called it the age of heroes. Grand titles and epic battles all over the galaxy.

[ But all he would trade easily. ]
forcesensitive: (secure it)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-03-31 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Finn exhales sharply.]

You know? It's all I ever trained for--the epic battles, I mean--but I'd be just as happy if I never saw one again. Sometime you got to fight. I know that better than I used to, and that's why I asked for your help. But what I really want is for it not to have to be that way.
beardstrokes: (He who seeks to control fate)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-03-31 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
You were trained as a trooper, correct?

[ Like the clones, and yet unlike them. The younger clones . . . like Waxer and Boil would talk like this. ]
forcesensitive: (not so sure about this)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-03-31 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Finn bites his lip, badly hiding the surge of panic that comes up at that question. But no, they didn't have Stormtroopers yet in the Clone Wars. And General Kenobi'd been working with the clones, not against him. So it's not a bad thing, right?]

Y-yeah. It's all I ever knew until a little while ago.
beardstrokes: (The enemy of my enemy)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-03-31 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Poe kind of spilled your entire life story. ]

What was it like?
forcesensitive: (uh oh)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-03-31 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Poe is going to have a lot to answer for.]

Nothing I want to go back to.

[Come now, that's not fair to General Kenobi. Finn grimaces and chooses his words carefully.]

I was trained to do one thing. Obey without question. No names, only numbers. They were right and everybody else was wrong. There was no room for other points of view or a chance to do what you wanted instead of what they told you.

[He shakes his head lightly as if to clear it.]

And the things everybody complains about here, like the food and the close quarters? It was worse there.
beardstrokes: (One vision)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ So nothing like the Clones. He hesitates briefly. The Clones wouldn't have survived this long anyway, but still. ]

Did you know . . . of the Clones?
forcesensitive: (with the resistance)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! [That he feels easier to talk about. Anything is easier to talk about than his own life.] It was a big question, whether they should use clones again or not. They never did in my time. General Hux always said ordinary troopers would provide equivalent results at a fraction of the cost, even though the time was doubled.

[That sounded a lot like rote repetition rather than a well-thought-out response, but there you have it.]

But I talked to Ahsoka, and she said you were with the 501st? They're legendary.
beardstrokes: (Courage is a dangerous game)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
That was Anakin's division. Mine was the 212th.

[ And while Obi-Wan knows of Order 66, he still wonders what happened to the Clones. To Cody and his other troopers. ]

It's probably for the best that they didn't use clones, though . . . I can imagine their current ideologies aren't any better.
forcesensitive: (wait no)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right, you were in different divisions. [Well, the 501st was legendary, anyway.]

--If you mean, are we--they--still treated like disposable killers, then yeah. It's not.

[He grimaces.] But General Organa doesn't hold with that. I'm with her forces now, and it's a lot better.
beardstrokes: (To the tree of evil)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles, amused. ]

I'm not surprised. Leia would know how to look after her men.

[ Though it's impressive that Finn managed to leave at all. Obi-Wan knows the kind of indoctrination that goes on. The Jedi had lessened it to some extent for the Clones, but not enough. Never enough. ]
forcesensitive: (i can do this)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[They're sure not supposed to be able to break their programming--but Finn has to wonder if that's just more propaganda. If he could do it, surely anyone could?]

She does. And she's got the skills to back up her reputation, too. Not everyone can say that.
beardstrokes: (Easy is the path to wisdom)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
If anyone can, it's her.

[ Their differences aside, he has no doubt in her abilities. ]
forcesensitive: (if you say so)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles, the conversation having been effectively driven away from the things he doesn't want to think about.]

So. Lightsabers aren't something we can just find on the planets, right? So that means I should try to find a baton or something the right size to practice with?
beardstrokes: (Default)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
You can have my staff for now. Ahsoka might be able to make one for you. Unfortunately, they're not proper sabers but it'll give you a feel for one.

[ And there's no way Obi-Wan is parting with his. ]
forcesensitive: (yeah!!)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[His face just lights up at that. Rey may be the one who uses a staff most, but he's had at least basic training with it, and Finn just bets he can get better with it in no time.]

I'll take real good care of it, Gen--Obi-Wan. I promise. I'll only hold on to it as long as I have to.
beardstrokes: (If you ignore the past)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ He blinks. ]

You can keep it if you like. I said "for now" to mean when you get a proper lightsaber.
forcesensitive: (oho)

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is everybody being so nice to him? But his grin doesn't let up.]

Then, thanks. Thank you very much. I'll do my best.
beardstrokes: (A failure in planning)

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles, indulgent. ]

I'm sure you'll do fine.
forcesensitive: (yeah there is)

wrap?

[personal profile] forcesensitive 2016-04-01 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[It's very clumsy, but he bows to Obi-Wan on his way out, pleased by the results of his first lesson.]
beardstrokes: (The enemy of my enemy)

sure

[personal profile] beardstrokes 2016-04-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ He watches him go. The future is a strange place, but not without hope. ]
