considering ataraxion, looking elsewhere too

[ventifact]

No. Absolutely not. This is stupid. I don't need you to be my voice, I've got one of my own.

I don't care how much green you say there is--sand is just fine by me. It gets everywhere, but it's home.

This never would have happened if I'd just stayed on Jakku.

Personally, I've had enough sand to last a lifetime.

[ventifact]

That's all well and good for you, but I've still got things to take care of. And sand is a part of it.

[shortforastormtrooper]

I can appreciate that. What're you trying to do?

[fanfaron]

There's a lot that never would've happened if you stayed on Jakku.

[ventifact]

Sometimes I wonder if I'd really be unhappy about that.

[fanfaron]

With the Order unchallenged, you wouldn't have been unhappy for long.

[generalskywalker]

What is so exciting about Jakku?

[ The only think Jakku has on Tatooine is that it has less Hutts. He cannot imagine why someone would want to stay there. ]

[ventifact]

[the real answer is nothing.]

It's my home is all.

[darthemo]

I believe it can be universally agreed upon that you staying on Jakku would have been better for everyone, little Jedi.

[ventifact]

Don't call me that.

[darthemo]

You are what you are. You know it to be true.

[bewareyourheart]

No accounting for taste, I guess.

[ventifact]

What's that supposed to mean?

[bewareyourheart]

Just that you couldn't pay me all the credits in the Galaxy to live on a desert planet. Let alone Jakku. It's even more backwater than Tatooine.

[a disarming smile]

There must be something very important to you there.

[ruhgwyaaaag]

[Have a low growl of agreement, at least about having your own voice. The sand, however, is something he's much less fond of. You try getting that stuff out of this coat.]

[ventifact]

At least someone understands.

[ruhgwyaaaag]

[A shrug. He understands well enough, deciding upon a few low growls and murmurs to suggest maybe, just maybe they could take a diversion to Jakku some time. If she'd like. Maybe?]

[ihatesand]

I hate sand... It's coarse and rough... and it gets everywhere.

[ventifact]

But it's also full of treasures.

[ryuuzaki]

I'll warn you, it's not dry here.

Can you hunt?

[ventifact]

It'll be a change, I guess.

Probably. Never really tried. Not much to hunt in the desert that doesn't come out at night, and most of that will kill you.

[ryuuzaki]

What are you used to eating?

[notsuemaybecanon]

This isn't his daughter. It can't be, no matter what his Mun says... because why would he and Juno have even thought of doing this to her, if she was their little girl?
"Rey, listen, I don't think I can say for certain but... I don't think your family, if they're still out there, would blame you for leaving. I think they'd want you to get out there, and become the best woman you could be in the galaxy."

[ventifact]

She doesn't know what to say to that, and instead blurts the first thing that comes to mind: "No. They left me for a reason. They had to have."

[notsuemaybecanon]

"...maybe the situation with the Empire's remnants was just that awful. It's possible that w-they tried to do with you, what was previously done with Vader's children."
He really wishes his mun wasn't trying to influence him. Tough, because I refuse to let my theory die until Episode VIII!
And yet, if Ben Solo had tried to undo his grandfather's redemption... If this Snoke was in fact the Emperor's master... And if he and Juno continued to exist in this new galaxy...
Then maybe they would do whatever it takes to protect their child... even if it meant breaking her heart.
"Maybe the plan was to come back if w-THEY had a chance. If not, maybe we'd pray that Skywalker could pull off another miracle."
