i like the rush, need to feel it on my skin
Who: Rey [ventifact] & you!!
When: 10 April - 16 April
Where: Nomo Deck, the gardens, flight deck, anywhere else!
What: Wandering, poking around where she shouldn't, accidentally being social.
Warnings: TBA.
NOMO DECK
The living situation still isn't to Rey's liking, but it isn't as if she's about to turn down a real bed to sleep on. Her roommates aren't awful, but she would still rather sleep in a place she can call her own. Taking the mattress and finding a more secluded part of this deck has crossed her mind more than once, but she just hasn't found the right place yet. Hallways suffered too much foot traffic, she was certain Rinzler would throw a fit if he found her sleeping on the flight deck, and an appropriately cozy corner had not yet presented itself. That left Rey to sleep in the communal area, which was also where she had begun keeping a stash of food that probably shouldn't have left the galley.
She is currently on her way back from said galley, gnawing on a vegetable she hadn't recognized as she carries a bag stuffed full of other edibles.
THE GARDENS
It doesn't take much leaning for Rey to see the top of this tree, but despite its small stature compared to others she had seen, it was glorious in its own right.
On Takodana, there had been trees. She'd thought they'd been tall and lush, but it had also been the first time she had ever seen a tree. Her expectations had been low, and the plants had surpassed anything her imagination had come up with. But standing at the base of this one, she realizes that those trees had simply been a taste of what could be. What was in front of her. Takodana's trees had been monstrous, but this tree was simply impressive.
Though the level on which it resided was sparingly vegetated, the roots growing below in open-air had made her stare in wonder. The greenery of Takodana had shocked her, but it had also left her unprepared for the variety of what could be. Roots above ground, attached to a living, growing tree, had amazed her. She hadn't thought plants worked like that.
Now, she wants to discover how this one does it.
All else in her life had been muted, it seemed, in comparison to the raw beauty of knowing that like people, plants could survive in places they shouldn't. And it pained her to think that if she had stayed on Jakku, she might've missed it. She might've gone her whole life without knowing the intricate twist of those roots and the gentle green of the leaves. It stung even more to know that leaving meant she might never see her family again, for how could they find her in the endless universe if she was not where they left her?
But that is neither here nor there at the moment, and Rey shakes her head to clear it.
Instead of dwelling, she exhales slowly and stretches her limbs in preparation. There had been no time on Takodana to climb a tree, and she wasn't about to let the opportunity slip from her fingers again.
If she's lucky, she thinks, maybe she'll make it to the top before someone tries to stop her.
FLIGHT DECK
The flight deck had become Rey's foremost prowling area since she had arrived on the Moira. Even though she didn't really recognize any of the models on board, being surrounded by at least semi-familiar ships made her feel just a little better about being stranded like this. Knowing that she had access to any of them should she decide it was an optimal time to flee was even more comforting.
Not that an opportunity had yet presented itself, but Rey felt unusually optimistic about one coming around soon. At least, she told herself she was.
The scavenger moves between the transports, gently running her hands across their outer plating as she goes. She's so used to seeing ships battered and bruised from the war, or even just torn in two, that getting to see some intact seemed like a gift. Even the ships traders had brought to Jakku hadn't been as pristine as these. But even as lucky as she feels to be around these ships, she can't help but miss the one that she'd grown so attached to in so short a time: the Millennium Falcon. Even though it had appeared garbage on the outside, it was a ship filled with so much history and flair that it was hard not to miss. But for now, these would have to do.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!
Rey will likely spend most of her time in the three aforementioned places, but she's bound to be in other parts of the Moira and on the Del Pascia as well!

"I've met a person or two with phantom pains." She remembers Mast Surko, with his cybernetic leg, and how many times she'd heard him complain at the cleaning tables about that kind of pain. "I don't know if there's a way to stop that."

He lowered his hand to ruffle between his dog's ears, then offered it out to her again.
"Works just like a normal hand. Don't know how it'll be when it's upgraded. Before I lost it, I was actually right handed. So I had to adjust. Guess now that I got it back, I have the advantage being ambidextrous." If you considered that luck.
"If you want and if you don't break anything, I could see if you would be allowed a look at the Training Sim room tech."

"I'd like that." Which is the biggest understatement she's uttered since her arrival. As an afterthought, she adds: "I'm Rey."
no subject
"Most people just call me 'Kaz'."
He nodded towards the tree beside them. "You want some help getting back up in there? I could give you a boost."

"How used to places like this are you, by the way? Ship? Trees? Tech?" Because she obviously seemed interested in his hand.

He'd made a point of learning almost every environment, ones where humans could frequent. How to use surroundings to one's advantage, know what flora and fauna could be used as resources. What generic objects could be cobbled together for makeshift weapons. But the jungle, that jungle, was special. Central America had been his home during the happiest years of his life. When he was a much happier man.
Maybe the idea of tree climbing made him a little nostalgic. How many times had he or other soldiers climbed trees to get a view of encampments, and in the process saw the expanse of the forest canopy.
"I think you might have appreciated the scenery."

"I saw trees once that I'm pretty sure were miles high." Takodana already held a special place in her heart, even though she'd only been there once. "I'm sure it's comparable to your Costa Rica and Colombia." She smiles a bit. "So maybe you would've liked it, too."
no subject
"Miles high, huh? Guess you've been a few places long before this ship. Me? Just Earth."
All over the Earth. But now, being out here? He could say that. Just Earth. Sounded sort of odd that way.
