Who: Rey
Broadcast: Fleetwide (except for private parts).
Action: For Hotel Corona.
When: Sunday.

[Rey is flushed with delight, laughing as she narrowly avoids being hit in her Zero-G Kart.]

More people need to try these out! [They might be tricky to operate, but she likes the challenge.] Just try to hit me! You won't come close.

[Her grin isn't cocky, exactly, but it is as close as she can manage. She wants to be a convincing target!]

Is anyone else working at the hotel? I've picked up a job with security and the hours aren't bad.

[Private to Hux.]

Have you checked out the hotel?

[/]

[Private to Fingon.]

I think you would really love the Nebula Viewing. The stars are important to your people, aren't they? I would like to take you up if you're interested?

{Instead of the expected adult Elf, have a child of about 7, smooshing his face up close with wide eyes!}

You would? Really?!

[What a sweet surprise! Rey is shocked until she notices the similarities. This is indeed Fingon! Only...smaller. Much smaller! ~~And adorable.~~]

Yes! I would! But you should check with your family first, right?

{The Elfling pulls back, blinking bright eyes before smiling and nodding.}

Could my grandfather come? He should see them too! {~~Problem solved!~~}

He is welcome! [She can't help beaming at him.] We can all see the stars together - and don't worry, I'm an excellent pilot.

{Totally not bouncing. Nope.} I'll go tell him! {Fingon knows his grandfather won't say no to seeing stars!}

Ah...Pilot? What's that?

Let me know what he says. [Rey thinks for a moment how best to put it.] You know how a captain navigates a ship or a boat? That's what a pilot does for space ships.

I will! {Fingon vanishes for a short time then comes back with a bright smile and definite happy glow.} Grandfather will come with us! {This is clearly the best news of all!

He looks at her with awe in wide eyes.} Grandfather has told me about ships!

I've checked out a bit of it. Why do you ask?

Just curious. There is plenty to see and do.

Like? It's best if you just come out and tell me what you are attempting to communicate.

[You are miserable and could use some fun.] Do you ever laugh? Or do anything without a specific purpose?

That's a ridiculous question.

I assume you're getting to some kind of point. I do everything with a specific purpose.

[You're speaking to the guy who schedules naptime, Rey.]

That's a problem. I was going to challenge you to a laser-tag battle. [No, she's serious.]

Ah, hello? My grandfather said that you wish to take Fingon out - I was wondering if you will need any help with him as he is... rather young, at the moment.

He is adorable. [She has a soft spot for kids and Fingon is such a bright little Elf.] You're welcome to join us, though. I think he said your grandfather would be going too?

He is, at this age. [ a fond smile ]

He is also something of a royal terror, so have a care, for he knows what he wants and he will not be shy about getting it! He will listen to grandfather, however, so if he is coming, you should be fine.

I thank you but... I do not wish to frighten him, so I think it best if I do not.

How old is he? [Ages must be different for Elves, she guesses.]

I accept the challenge! I've got a lot of energy to keep up with him. [She grins for only a moment.] Why would you frighten him? You're his family too, aren't you?

[ Maglor frowns thoughtfully ] Mm, I think... he is probably around seventeen or so. It is a little hard to tell at that age.

[ A wry, quiet smile ]

I am - but I am also far older than he remembers and I... carry burdens I would rather not place on him, and he is very perceptive.

He is only two years younger than me... [There is thinly veiled awe behind that statement.] It's hard to believe.

[She shifts, frowning.] Seventeen is old enough to...make decisions. For humans. But I can see how small he is and -

I'm sorry it has to be that way for you. If I was him, I would want to be around my family no matter what.

[Ravi is never going to tire from seeing recognizable faces on his screen, but the opportunity to fly around in a Zero-G Kart eclipses even that.]

Are you offering lessons? Because I've been itching to give it a try!

I've also taken a couple of shifts as the pool towel boy. They didn't think I was fit for the kitchen, for whatever reason.

[The obvious reason is that he's still kind of a sub-par cook.]

[Finally someone who understands her joy!]

I wouldn't mind! They're interesting and I'm not an expert, but I don't think anyone needs to be to have fun.

[She smiles a little.]

I'm not much of a cook, so I didn't even try to get hired there.

Edited 2016-12-19 03:48 (UTC)

[He grins back.]

Well, I happen to be a tremendous pool towel boy, and I bet you do pretty well as a security guard, so we're probably in the right positions.

But more importantly, just hang tight for fifteen minutes and I'll be by for my first lesson!

As long as we get paid, it doesn't matter. [Rey doesn't mind doing menial labor one bit.] You've got it!

[She will be beside her kart, waiting for him, shifting eagerly from foot to foot.]

[Ravi waves when he spots her and jogs over with all the enthusiasm of a kid let loose in a candy store.]

Hullo! Pool Boy Ravi Chakrabarti, at your service and ready to learn!

[And he holds out his hand with a grin towards her.]

[His energy is just as contagious as her own - maybe more so! Rey looks a little shy, reaching for his hand to shake.]

Security Guard Rey and I'm ready to teach! [She motions at the kart.] Get in and I will show you.
