‘you have a cute laugh.’

For a moment, Bodhi’s laughter paused to be replaced by a confused look before he was gently laughing again. “A cute laugh? Thank you,” he said, face flushing a reddish pink. “Now that I think about it, I didn’t laugh a lot when I was alive. That’s pretty sad, isn’t it?”

SOME PROPER company and a great deal of liquor, that was what he needed to take his mind off of things. Luckily, the stranger beside him was happy to oblige in offering one of those things – and hopefully the other would follow suit. “My kind of guy. I mean, why should  we just sit here moping around?” He chuckled softly before patting the other on the back and raising from the spot he had been seated in. He wet his lips slightly before nodding his head in the opposite direction, “Let’s go, I’m trying my best not to get my hopes up right now… for all we know there may not be any alcohol in this shit hole and I’ll just be forced to suffer and waste away for all eternity.”

HE COULDN’T help the chuckle that came from the pat to his back. It reminded him of the others, when they congratulated him or when they wanted to incite some sort of courage into him. He missed them. He wondered if they were here somewhere. He stood and nodded, giving the younger male a gentle smile. He was too young to be in a place like this, to be dead. “I’m sure they may have something. I have never once gone to a restaurant anywhere in the galaxy and there wasn’t some sort of alcohol. Why would this place be any different?” He asked, starting to walk to their destination. Of course, there were a million reasons why it should have been different.

Ethan. The very last thing she saw before looking into the eyes of God was that of her beloved. She knew she was gone, finished. She knew she was too damned for heaven, but this place did not seem quite as hellish as mortal life. Dazed, she found herself approached by an individual who looked more frazzled than she. “I…I-I’m afraid so, sir. Do you know what this place is? I’d think it would be Hell, yet it seems so tame compared to my mortal life…”

Bodhi felt his shoulders droop as he heard the woman’s answer. Well, what was he expecting? He did know for sure that he was in very close contact with an explosion that no doubt ripped him to mere particles. But, there was that very faint hope that perhaps he was wrong. At least he could calm down -- well, pretend to calm down, at least. “Well, I’m not sure at all what this place is. I thought I’d been brought to a new planet. I’m not too sure what this Hell is that you’re referring to, but it does feel pretty tame. I’m glad for that, at least.”

Wendy nodded enthusiastically, “ Oh yes, very much so! “ she replied. “ Neverland is a turly magical place. “ she explained. “ Of course! “ she assured him, in delight. She was always happy when people seemed to enjoy her tales. 

“ Neverland ? It really does sound wonderful. Can we get there from here ? ” He asked, very much curious to know about this Neverland. It definitely sounded far more interesting and fun than this little town. “ Thank you for the stories. I remember when my mother used to tell me stories about Jedis and Sith. I always though they were stuff of legends until I saw Darth Vader, like, once -- really, really far away. It was awesome and really terrifying. ”

The figure turned around, and Ofelia smiled. Her pristine white dress was marred this time, as she had fallen asleep in it and forgotten to change the wrappings that kept the roses from growing out of her belly. It was stained a dark red, nearly black where the bullet ripped through her when she was only a little girl.

“ I take it you are new here, yes? Welcome to Sheol.” 

Ofelia’s accent was light and lilting, almost innocent compared to the nature of purgatory. Her voice, high and inquisitive, was nearly unchanged from the moment she screamed in protest when the bad man ripped her baby away from her.

It was funny, she didn’t remember his name anymore.

Bodhi paused for a moment when the other turned around, struck with a sense of confusion and surprise at the stain upon her dress. How could she be so calm when clearly there was something very wrong here? It did not ease him one bit -- really, only making him much more nervous and frightened.

“ I-I am, but... Um, are you okay? It really doesn’t look like you’re okay. But, if you are, I am sorry. I just... that looks a lot like blood. ”

He said, pointing to the female’s dress. He had to be dreaming. There was no resistance, no Rogue One, no nothing. He was back home, waiting for the next cargo order.

A flash, certain death. Bodhi knew it was the end before he felt the heat of the explosion. It was certainly over before he knew it. Of course it would be, he was in direct contact with the grenade. But the breeze against his cheek, the lack of salt water in the air, the lack of gritty sand against his skin, and the quiet told him all that was gone. Was this it? The afterlife? The Force? He opened his eyes and there was nothing to confirm what he thought. He was dead, that had to be sure. This was where you went? The place was curious, unlike anything he’d ever seen before. With shaking hands, he approached someone rather abruptly. It was obvious he was rather distressed. “Are you dead too?”

THIS WASN’T the most ideal way to spend one’s afterlife, but it wasn’t as if hanschen had much of a choice now. the boy was used to making the best out of even the worst situations, but he wasn’t entirely sure what he could possibly do to make this any better ( ernst would have known what to do ). the only thing that came to mind that might possibly help him cope with his new reality, if you could call it that, was a stiff drink. a weary sigh fell from his parted lips as he shot the individual who was seated next to him a look, “you don’t suppose that shitty little restaurant that we passed serves alcohol, do you?”

WITH A longing stare, Bodhi’s gaze was focused to the sky. He had never felt so alone and small before. Even with the person next to him, he felt completely stuck. Regrets poured in on him and the only thing to save him from drowning was the other’s voice. He blinked a few times, looking back in the direction of the mentioned restaurant. “Well, I don’t see why not. This place has been rather surprising already. I could probably go for something right now, that’s for sure,” he said with a gentle laugh. “Did you want to see with me?” He asked, standing as he pointed his thumb to the restaurant.

Exection. 

That had been his sentence, and what had ultimately lead him to the place he had been at currently. It was ironic that the resistance had found the first order so barbic when they had been the one’s so quick to deem him unworthy of living. While his mother had been one of the few to oppose it, ( figures ) he couldn’t help but feel as though she was partly to blame. Kylo was consumed by his own thoughts but he had still managed to sense the presence of the other.  He turned around suddenly. “ What could you possibly want? “ he asked sharply. 

Bodhi stopped dead in his tracks when he was addressed, eyes wide as he suddenly stood up straight -- it was a habit that still lingered from being addressed by higher command. He quickly looked around him to ensure that the other was not speaking to anyone else. Nope. Of course I managed to mess up already. He swallowed thickly. “ Oh, well, I was just walking this way, sir. Perhaps I had started to walk to close? I’m sorry. I get a bit absorbed sometimes. But, um, I did want to know if you knew if this is what it's like to rejoin the Force or perhaps I completely dreamt up fighting and dying and now I’ve been kidnapped. ”

“ Isn’t that the most lovely story you ever heard? “ Wendy asked with a gentle smile. “ Why,  It’s one of my absolute favorites! “ she recalled. Whenever she had been feeling down she always tried to remember it and found that it lifted her spirits. ( And as far as she was concerned a lot of people here needed something to lift their spirits. )

“ Was that a real story, ” he asked, eyes wide with amazement. Most fantastical stories had some semblance of truth to them, no matter how incredible and impossible they seemed to be. At least, that’s how it was from where he came from. “ Do you have more? ” Bodhi was suddenly hooked.

pearl had been in sheol for a little while now. probably a month or so. she wasn’t quite sure. the gem had never been great at keeping track of time what with the way she had lived for thousands of years before this. she generally kept to herself, unable to trust the inhabitants of this place, but today she was wandering, talking out loud to anyone who would listen. “i mean, it would be easier to stay calm and accept this is any of it made any sense.” she said, hands flying up to gesture along as she spoke. “of course there’s millions of ideas of the afterlife but does anyone actually consider the scientific implications. i was broken, shattered. chemically, there shouldn’t be anything left of me to exist here. the most sensible idea would be that this is a hallucination but i don’t think that’s the case either.” she was fairly certain due to her biology she couldn’t hallucinate. “and then a place like this has to be made and at the very least the make up of my mind has to be transported from where i died, galaxies away, to here. and for what purpose?” a hand was tugging at her hair now as she forced herself to pause, take an unneeded breath, finally making her silent for a moment.

Bodhi was doing his best to figure out how he came to be here as well, attempting to study the planet and his surroundings. What planet could he possibly be on? None that he had ever visited before -- and he’s visited almost every planet under Empire rule. He’d heard the other talking to herself, knowing he shouldn’t have been listening but he just couldn’t help himself. He even went so far as to jump into her narrative. “Well, perhaps we’re part of the Force now. Though, I never imagined that the Force would quite be like this. I imagined more of a melding on consciousness together and being a part of every living thing in the galaxy, knowing everything there is to know. But, I was never sensitive to the Force, so I never thought I could become part of it, you know? Anyway, we haven’t been able to really scientifically prove the existence of the Force yet -- it’s still technically a theory. But, when you see someone push a man across the room or watch a blind man fight with troopers, it’s kind of hard not to believe in it.”

nancy had gathered so much as to figure out she was dead, as she still watched the detrimental blow to her chest, caused by some kind of monster, oozing scarlet liquid that inevitably stained her straight-from-the-eighties sweater. she’d hoped she’d seen barb— but nancy didn’t believe this was a place that she’d find barb. she heard the word purgatory in passing– was that where this was?? nancy didn’t consider herself a sinner, will she ever find out that the reason she was here was at the fault of her other two monster hunting buddies? was it her secret underlying LUST for jonathan?? or was it LUSTFULLY letting her best friend get eaten by a monster while hooking up with steve?? or lying about her LUSTILY spent night to her mother— isn’t lying and disrespecting your mother a double sin?? whatever it was…nancy was shaken. her eyes were firmly planted on the ground, contemplating it all in her short 17 years, and also— bumping into someone. “ah, i’m so sorry. i wasn’t, uh, looking where i was going.“ she hummed, figuring to be careful. who knows what kind of character she could be exchanging with.

Bodhi too had been wandering the streets aimlessly, never before seeing any sort of city, town, or settlement like this one. It was strange not seeing the symbol of the Empire on everything or seeing everything written in Aurabesh. He too was out of sorts when he walked into the girl -- which was rather sad considering the small amount of people on the streets and the lack of distracting factors such as speeders, droids, and troopers. He put his hands up as a sign that he meant no harm, offering a nervous smile. “Don’t be sorry -- I’m pretty new here and I should be aware of my surroundings. I never really was good at that. Are you alright?”

Hello! My name’s Jess and this is Bodhi~

Bodhi Rook never dreamed of doing anything other than what he was told to do -- that was usually what kept him alive and well looked after. He’s tense, nervous, and always filled with self-doubt. He could probably power a small town with the amount of nervous energy he’s constantly creating. He’s not one to take big risks unless he very strongly believes in the outcome of such or risk or his life depends on it. Otherwise, he’s someone who goes with the flow. He’s passionate about flying and any type of technology he gets his hands on. He’s not a fighter and avoids confrontation at all costs. He’s a daydreamer but knows that reaching for the stars was never for him.

he doesn’t fit the traditional bill of a star wars hero. but he starts the action by doing one of the most heroic things possible, which is making the hard choice. and i think that makes bodhi really charming and really admirable. —pablo hidalgo
