@firstgeneral The name of the game was intel, and it was up to Rey and her co-pilot, Chewie, to obtain it. It wasn't easy to do when the Intel they sought was where the First Order had ended up once she had defeated Kylo Ren and the First Order’s weapon had been destroyed. She knew they would have been forced to move on once the base they were living on imploded, of course, but it was like the First Order had dropped off the face of the galaxy. No amount of meditation or training in the Force had given Rey any leads, at least not conscious ones. She was about to give up the search and return to the Ileenium system empty handed. They were making a stop for fuel when she spotted him, a red-headed man she might not have noticed if she'd looked around a second later. As it was, she caught a glimpse of him and everything in her body screamed at her to follow him. "Chewie, circle around and cut him off," she said to her co-pilot before she slipped away, tailing the man as quietly as she could.

“I love you –”

And isn’t that the height of dishonesty? Oh, but Arris is very convincing in how unsure those syllables sound, formed between traitorous lips. Let us see it from you first, he says, and she gives him what he doesn't expect to hear. Lures him with those honeyed words. What it would mean, to persuade the General of her adoration, how powerful a position she would hold over him then.

                                                                 "I love you.“

Arris repeats herself, though he has not asked for the clarification. Confidence grows in her voice, and she likes how it sounds, could almost believe this is what being in love would sound like. Would feel like. Cheeks rosy with emotion, and eyes bright when they focus on his features – taking what there is to see of a man that she has just LIED to.

 MMMM OH MY GOD, DANI. Like I even need to say it (because how many times have I made sure everyone already knows) you’re my best friend, and probably even beyond that. Somewhere into family territory by now. But where do I even start? You can take on any character flawlessly, even when it’s just ones I’ve nudged you at that I wouldn’t expect you to have an interest in at all – like Justin Hammer and Vasquez (too bad the Borderlands fandom was a shit show and burned me out before we could do much b/c we would’ve ruled the school as August and Vasquez.)

You excel with pretty much anyone, and anytime you want to follow me into roleplay again I feel honored that you would consider it something worth your time. It floors me that you’d even want to devote the effort it takes to roleplay for me, and I wish I could write everything with you because I’m selfish and want to see you ace all the characters we love, and get a chance to do it with you. 

None of the relationships we write are perfect, or even friendly, which is so much more satisfying to me than Happily Ever Afters. You play the villains so well. Your plot ideas are my lifeblood, honestly. Whenever you’re down on yourself, I want to come over to your house and shake you until you admit that you’re just as amazing as anyone here.

Beyond even roleplaying, you do so much for me (too much) I wish I could think of a good pair to compare us to but it’s late and literally all that comes to mind is Rocksteady and Bebop b/c I was just googling them. Speaking of, you’re probably the only person I would trust to see TMNT2 with and NOT get disgusted when I accidentally enjoyed myself, and if THAT isn’t the true measure of friendship then what is?

Papa bless this great blog, and my best friend. Where would I even fucking be without you.

She is a vision of poorly contained rage, garbed in Resistance rags, and quivering with the effort it takes to restrain herself. He stands before her, the same as he ever was. She would expect something. Anything. A new coat. Different haircut. Perhaps even the tell-tale marks of exhaustion to hint at what has kept them apart. Yet, he remains unchanged. Bored, even. Arris wonders if he would have had her sent for at all, if she hadn't contacted him first.

                                                   ( what a weak thought -- get rid of it )

"I've returned with some intelligence to report, Sir." Arris tries to hold her voice captive - can’t let him hear her break down - but she has become out of practice in her time away from the Order. D'Qar has worn away that mask that she has spent years crafting for herself. Once cold indifference cracks and beneath it her face is freckles and fury. "I'll have it transferred to you, so you can pursue it at your own convenience."

@firstgeneral

She has grown too familiar.

And perhaps it is best for Arris, in some small way. She feels sanity, or something like it, in those moments where she has become too bold with the General. The times that   are scheduled into her life so meticulously that sometimes she forgets that it isn't quite business, anymore. It's --

Well, it's nice, but it's also a weakness to be exploited.

        (  and, of course, she is sure that Hux would be the first to seize            that weakness and tear her to shreds, if he saw the merit of it    )

He never reciprocates, but Arris doesn’t mind.

Today she interrupts his reports. Bold enough to take the datapad straight from his hands and replace it with one of her own. He had demanded it, after all. And the hour had long since passed. "I have heard some troubling news about Coruscant."

For one tense moment, Arris is content to let him think that something is wrong.  Of course, nothing is. She would not be quite so flippant, then. 

"He actually expects me to return to the city. To Underworld, no less. I can't stand that filthy hole." Whoever 'he' is, Arris doesn't elaborate. Likely, she means the only other agent in their little circle who still holds any command over her. 

                                                                                 ( after she saw to the other one )

"Intel is stretched thin, at the moment. Another day spent trying to dig up scraps of  rebel activity is time wasted." ( So naturally... ) "Tell him that he has to go instead."
