[Open] Come away little light

[talentedscavenger]

who: Rey and OTA
what: Rey coming to the conclusion she would be here for sometime and CR building.
when: 9/16--9/20
where: Around town
warnings: None, will be updated as needed.

In the beginning, Rey was dead set on finding a way home. She wanted--no, needed to find a way back home. There were things she had to do. She had to find Luke, she had to give him his lightsaber and...hopefully, he would train her. Given her connection to the Force, she would need to be trained. There would come a time when she would face Kylo Ren again, and she had to be prepared, but now that she was stuck in this place. What would she do?

It had been a week or two since she came via portal to this place. A place that made no sense to her and one she wasn't willing to trust. Some viewed it as a second chance, a new home for themselves. While that was fine for them, she couldn't stay, but she couldn't leave either. Was this part of the Force? Obi-Wan said she had to learn to trust in it. The Force could be confusing, but there had to a be a reason behind it, right? Rey was contemplating that idea, letting it circle around in her head as she left the Communal Hall. If she was meant to be here, then maybe it was time for her to start looking for work?

She went into the city, her eyes flickering down to her phone every now and then. There were times when she was searching through it and the posts on the network, looking for answers..none came. If she was going to find work...what would she do? Jim had suggested she join the Perimeter Guard, but could she? She didn't exactly trust how things were being run here...but what other choice did she have?

Rey wasn't paying too much attention to where she was going until she stopped realizing she was at the park. She took a seat on a park bench and mentally ran through her options and what she would need to do to live in this new place.

"A phone?" Her eyebrows were knitted together for a moment before she recalled what if meant. "It's called a comm from where I'm from. But, no running water?" Well, to be fair. There wasn't running water in every area of Jakku. There was a spring, a communal area for water, but that was more or less it.

"The idea that other people are from different time periods, still trying to come to grips with that. " among other things like people from the past from her own world. Plus, the fact she was here before....

"Think I'm doing well, at least I have a place to stay. " and not looking for one, thank goodness.

She watched as Sprig munched away on his sugar cube. Something so simple to make him happy. The idea of him getting fatter was a bit funny.

"Maybe instead of fat, he'll grow into a tree!?" She had no idea, she was only guessing. She noticed how blue Sprig's eyes were in comparison to Ivar's...still beautiful and striking.

"No running water, no electricity, no vehicles that didn't move without animals pulling them. Most people here seem to have come from after the year 2000 or thereabouts. I came from 816." He hadn't been exaggerating when he said he came from a ways back.

"As long as you have food and shelter, you're doing alright." It was the little things in life that one had to be thankful for.

He glances at Sprig, who licks around the edges of his mouth with quite a large tongue in comparison with the rest of his face, getting any small traces of the sugar cube he might have missed. "Now there's an idea. It's said they can evolve into different forms, but I don't know what Phantumps turn into. I'll have to ask the Pokemon Professor." He really needed to go to more of Professor Sycamore's classes so that he could properly care for his creatures.

Rey knitted her eyebrows together in thought, trying to figure out if there was a way for her to translate the year she was actually from. However, that was difficult considering, she didn't exactly know the year she was from. Days and weeks were all that mattered on Jakku. Not the years, only if the First Order took over and rewrote the calendar system.

"I can't say what time period I'm from, but...we have at least running water, and a few other things. Some say futuristic given we can travel from one area to another very quickly." No need to say star system just yet. But wow, he came form such a long time ago.

Now her puzzled features only deepen. These creatures could...evolve? Grow?

"I didn't know that was possible. I'd assumed he'd grow just...bigger in size?" If that made sense, but the little creature was adorable, trying to lick away any remaining bits of sugar on its mouth.

"It's been interesting, learning about what other people have in their worlds that I lacked in mind." Which was pretty much everything when he got down to it. Vikings had only primitive technology and hadn't even discovered all of the known world in Ivar's time. Since coming here, it had been shocking to realize what kind of ignorance he'd been living in.

Getting back to the topic of the Pokemon, he tapped Skinfaxi on his muzzle. "They do grow in size. Skinfaxi here was only a little foal this big--" He shows off the size with his hand, barely at his head height sitting down as he is in the wheelchair. "--when I first got him. They grow, but apparently, they can also evolve, changing shape, and becoming more powerful."

"I can only imagine. There are some similarities between my world and this one, but there's still an adjustment period." Especially when it came to coming to grips about her situation and going with the flow rather than fighting it. Right now, Ivar was helping with providing her a much needed distraction.

As for Pokemon, well, she was surprised to learn they could 'evolve' into a different shape or size.

"There is nothing like that from where I'm from. I suppose the closest thing would be a droid..you built it and then you can add onto it later on, but it doesn't do it on its own." She thought of BB-8 and then R2, missing both of them.
