re: the things her mun makes her do.

[talentedscavenger]

Do you have any idea what you've done? How badly this will end?

This is ridiculous! Madness! [Grumbles, and tries her best to not swear or do anything rash like yell, scream or throw things. Then, she stops and realizes....that trait...it's something Kylo Ren would do.

....Today is not a good day.]

[not_soft]

I don't know, it worked out alright for me.

After I trounced him.

[talentedscavenger]

[...Well this is the first time, she's talking to herself. Literally.]

I thought it would be a given you, I...we would trounce him--

Wait, what did you say?

[not_soft]

[She talks to herself all the time, just not like this.]

Training. With Ren. It's always equal parts terrifying and wanting more.

[talentedscavenger]

[Give her a moment to let that sink in...and STARE.]

You're joking, right?

[Why would she--her, would do that?!] You--we have to find Luke!

[not_soft]

They have the map, they can find him, no reason for me to get involved.

Besides that, why should I give up a whole laundry list of things, some of which I haven't even tried yet, to be any good at using the Force his way?

[talentedscavenger]

There is a reason! We--you--I, we found Luke's lightsaber. We need to give it back to him!

Do you know how many people are counting on us--on you to find him?

[not_soft]

But why is it up to us?

Finn could go just as easily, he wielded the saber before we did, and surprisingly well.

[talentedscavenger]

Finn? Finn is in a coma, he can't go!

[Now she's concerned, worried, and trying to breathe.]

Don't you remember? He tried to protect us from Kylo Ren.

[not_soft]

He did, and it was admirable, if ultimately unnecessary.

[She tilts her head, oddly bird-like] Do you really have so little faith that he'll survive? Ren did, after all, and we certainly made sure that his injuries were worse.

[There's something more than a little feral in the flicker of a smile that follows that statement.]

[politicallyinclined]

Surely it isn't that bad?

[talentedscavenger]

It's bad. Very bad. Like, the entire galaxy would be in even more danger--bad.

[politicallyinclined]

Maybe you could explain why? [Deep breaths, Rey.]

[talentedscavenger]

[Trying to breathe while trying not to Force choke yell at her Mun.]

If Kylo Ren finds out I said that, he'll want to train me. He'll want to train me in the ways of the Dark Side--and why I would ever bloody say those words to him is beyond me!

[politicallyinclined]

He may want to train you, but you have a say, do you not? [The Dark Side can do little without consent.] Do you feel he is manipulating you?

[talentedscavenger]

He wants to train me, and what I say...[Another deep breath.] I tell him I need him to teach me--words, I never wanted to say to him.

If anything my Mun is manipulating me...but that goes without saying. [And she's taking another deep breath, trying to calm down.]

[politicallyinclined]

So you are being forced to acquiesce. [Alright, the anger is understandable.] Is there any way you can distance yourself from this...Kylo Ren? Once you open that door, he will not let you close it if you show promise.

[talentedscavenger]

I can't seem to distance myself from him. He's...he and his Master are interested in me.

[She's beginning to calm down slowly but surely. She'll figure a way out of this.]

They already know I have potential. I pushed Kylo Ren out of my mind with the Force...and beat him with his grandfather's lightsaber.

[dorkvader]

There's no possible way for that to go wrong.

[Can you hear all the eyerolling behind the mask? Because its kind of a lot.]

[talentedscavenger]

[She can hear it, and frankly she didn't ask him.]

Plenty of ways for it go wrong.

[dorkvader]

[Nope, she's just shouting into the wind for everyone to hear.]

And shouting about it will change things how?

Unless your plan is to make sure everyone is aware of how ill tempered you are?

[talentedscavenger]

I am not ill tempered! [Okay, she's having a moment of weakness, she's frustrated. She's allowed to have that.]

I'm...trying to figure things out. On my own.

[dorkvader]

[Weaknesses are easily exploited.]

Then you are a fool. You are nothing but wasted potential without training.

[talentedscavenger]

[Glaring now. Why is he here?]

I will receive training, but not from you--or your grandson.

[dorkvader]

[Because you are weak and emotional. Because he is bored and because you can't stop him.]

I wasn't offering. You are of no use to me.

[Mostly because he's curious how strong you really are.]

[talentedscavenger]

[She is not weak! But, if he spoke those word out loud to her, she would be wondering why she was trying to prove her worth to him.]

Good. [Huffs.

But never mind the fact she still has his lightsaber. Nope. Ignore it. ]
