i. community housing: floor 10

[ Turns out Ren doesn’t need much to be comfortable. The ascetic lifestyle comes easily to him now, after years of practice – and he has such meagre possessions besides.

His helmet he stows in the sturdy trunk at the foot of his bed. He has no need of it now, here, where his face is not known. His saber remains clipped to his belt, more out of habit than need. It’s too much a part of himself to leave behind.

This done, he can likely be found inspecting the floor, familiarizing himself with his new surroundings, or heading toward the elevator with the intention of heading out into the city. ]

ii. portal

[ While he has only the vaguest memory of the portal, Ren has seen enough bewildered newcomers by now that it’s lost some of its novelty.

Still, there’s a café en-route that he stops by on the way to either the barracks (to train or to check over the job roster for the day) or to the university.

He buys himself a cup of coffee (black and spiced) and a fruit pastry. ]

iii. university

[ Finally, he visits the university in the hopes of learning something of the history of his new (temporary) home. To pour over what historical records there are to be found, or perhaps to simply satisfy his curiosity.

It’s been awhile, after all, since he’s had the chance to indulge this side of himself, and so he folds himself into one of the corners of the library, several books open in front of him, and reads. ]

iv. wildcard!

[ If you have an idea, or questions, or just want to say hi, hit me up either via a pp or at shellacker

Yeah, to the portal. [said in the intonation of duh weirdo what did you think i meant?] Were you planning on going back again today?

[jiaasjen]

[ The obvious answer in retrospect but then there'd been something in the phrasing, a subtle dip in his mood even if it had only lasted seconds.

He continues to chew thoughtfully a moment longer before answering, turning his head: ] Thought I'd check out the university actually.

[followhim]

[GET OUTTA MY HEAD CHARLES!!

anyway, poe takes in this information thoughtfully.]

Why the university?

[jiaasjen]

The library. [ There has to be one somewhere, or some kind of historical record in general. Something that hasn't been reduced, sanitized, over the years.

Better to be proactive than risk losing what remains of his sanity pacing the housing floor. ] I've a little while before my next patrol starts.

To research the portal? [he asks, then takes another huge bite out of his cinnamon roll while mulling this over.] You're obsessed. [the statement is teasing, a friendly jab. because they're friends, ok. also he has clearly invited himself along without actually saying as much.]

[jiaasjen]

Among other things. [ It's not his intention to be cryptic but he will work the mystery to his advantage if he can, luring along his unexpected company along with him if he can. ]

You never mentioned your name. [ He knows, of course, but tucks this knowledge away carefully, betraying nothing in his expression. ] When we met before. I'm Ben.

[followhim]

Oh! You're right. I'm sorry. I'm Poe, Poe Dameron. [he'd offer his hand for shaking but it's full of cinnamon roll so he does not.] It's good to meet you, Ben.
