Who: Rey & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: For Marsiva.
When: 9/16

[She is understandably confused, but after all she has experienced, she is taking this in careful strides. Unlike a certain member of the Dark Side.]

If anyone can see this transmission, my name is Rey and I was just - [Meeting a cloaked Jedi. No big deal.] It doesn't matter. I'm looking for the Millennium Falcon and a tall Wookiee named Chewbacca.

[Unless she has been kidnapped by the First Order again.]

This ship is called the Marsiva, isn't it? It...wouldn't happen to be owned by the First Order, would it?

[Please say no. She has noticed that she is missing the lightsaber and that leaves her with only one option if she is cornered. How does the Jedi Mind Trick even work?]

I think that must be the case for most Jedi.

Re: [video / private ]

Ah . . . yes, that might be true.

[ Depressingly true. ]

[leftonjakku]

Scavengers are sort of like that too. Maybe it comes down to your occupation and not your appearance?

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

It certainly has very little to do with one's appearance.

[leftonjakku]

That's good, isn't it? Otherwise we'd be relying on one species for every Jedi.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

Species are - A Jedi can come from anywhere.

[leftonjakku]

I never really understood that. They seem - you seem - like...

Heroes. Like you come from everywhere and nowhere.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He's bemused. ]

So what does that make you? Since you possess Force abilities.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

I'm not sure yet. I don't even know my last name.

[That last part is said softer.]

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

Why should it matter?

Heroes come from everywhere and nowhere.

[Ouch. She frowns at him and then laughs.]

I deserved that.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

My name is the only thing I know of my family. I've never met them.

[leftonjakku]

I'm sorry. Names are great if they connect you to someone, but in your case and mine, they probably don't mean very much.

Finn doesn't have a surname either for that reason.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

I know. Clones - Troopers follow a different code and they're not given names.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

That's not right. It's like they want to strip away their identities.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

Clones didn't have identities. Not at the start. We - The Jedi encouraged them to have some.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

Finn isn't a clone, though. He was a regular kid, I think.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

There are no more clones, not in your time. They would have all died out by now.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

Is that...good? Or bad?

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

Not everything is good or bad. Sometimes . . . that's just the way they are.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

It's sorta sad when people die out. They didn't choose to be clones.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

No one chooses to be anything. The choice is what you do with yourself that matters.

[video / private ]

[leftonjakku]

I hope the majority of them chose to live good lives, then. After the wars, of course.

Re: [video / private ]

[beardstrokes]

I'm sure they tried to.

[leftonjakku]

It shouldn't be so difficult -

[No, she closes her eyes and calms herself with a few breaths.]

I feel like some make it too hard to be happy.
