@theforceisawakerey

Send “chu” to surprise my muse with a kiss on the cheek!

The droid jumped back from the foreign action the female performed, his stance frozen in confusion. Well… she didn’t seem displeased… and what she did was not at harmful.

      “Bwiio-beep- bop-bwreiiopeep?”

[Was that a good gesture?]

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Rey grinned at the droid’s confusion. She’d felt the same when she’d first experienced the gesture.

“Of course it was a good gesture,” she promised. “It means I like having you around.”

Training Sessions || Closed Starter

Ben grinned encouragingly as the youngling held fast to his hand as best as she could, and off they went to find Master Luke. Since the day she appeared at the training center, Master Luke had made sure she was challenged in every way possible. He said she held the Force stronger than any pupil he’d seen in a long time. Ben promised his Master he would do everything in his power to see that his will was achieved in her. And how the Master Jedi would be pleased to see how far she was coming along in her training.

Ben knocked confidently at the wooden door that encased the Jedi’s private meditation chambers. The door opened moments later, and he led Rey inside the slightly darkened chamber. Luke sat on the floor, facing them, his face calm as he beckoned the pair forward. Ben settled Rey in front of him and put his hands on her shoulders as he explained what the little one was now capable of.

“Go on Rey, show Master Luke your flowers…” he instructed her gently, letting her go to do her thing unencumbered.

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Rey bounced along with him into the meditation chambers, as happy and carefree as a child could be. Master Luke was going to see her flowers!

She fell into a steadier and calmer step when they reached the Jedi’s private chambers, letting Ben guide her along. It was never scary to see Master Luke --fear didn’t have much of a place in a paradise like this -- but it was awe-inducing. Even a youngling like Rey could pick up on the appropriate tone and mood for the setting.

She waited patiently while Ben explained what she had been able to do, then glanced up at him when prompted to exhibit her skills. She nodded and held her hands out, eyelids drooping shut while she focused on channeling the Force. It took a little longer now that she was showing the Jedi, but another flower blossomed in the palm of her hand before sprouting a stem and leaves.

[flyboypoedameron]

"That's it? You're just giving up on me?"

“ No, it’s not – I’m just – Rey– I’m too much of a risk, you need to focus-I’m just a distraction.” 

[flyboypoedameron]

He nodded, a tear rolling down his cheek, “ I am–I am so– so so sorry Rey.” squeezing her tightly he didn’t want to let go, “ I – will you come and spend the night with me? I’m – I don’t know – it may be better for – I think neither of us should be alone tonight.” 

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Rey was as pleased as she manage when he didn’t let go. The last thing she wanted to do was separate from him right now, dreading the thought that it would be one of the last times she could be so close.

She didn’t have to think about his request, although it still took her a few seconds to answer as she tried to steady herself out. Part of becoming a Jedi would mean controlling emotions like this, right? She needed the practice if nothing else. If this was something she was losing Poe over, she’d have to make sure she was actually good at it. 

“Yeah. Of course I will,” she muttered at last, her voice no longer shaking but still feeble.

             ❝made amends is it?❞ he repeats, incredulity highlighting his tone but only just so, and well mixed with the teasing that carries. his light heart feels ready to soar, it only swells evermore at their banter. ❝i will once bee-bee-ate apologises for zapping me then.❞

             is it silly, that he wants to hug her again? oh, how his mouth aches with the stretch of his grin. finn gives in to his own desires, letting the overwhelming wave of emotions push his arms around her once again, another tight squeeze  before he pulls back. ❝you can’t just say that! the falcon, really? i have to see it then. you’ll have to show me, young padawan.❞

            and as he speaks, his hand reaches out to flick her braid, eyes alight with mischief.

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

“Well, I don’t think he’s sorry for that,” she said with a mischievous grin. She certainly wasn’t’ going to try telling the droid to apologize. He’d only been protecting his owner’s belongings, albeit with a lack of information at the time. She found the loyalty admirable.

“Oof! I’m getting the feeling you missed me,” she grinned as he hugged her again. She returned it before letting him pull away. In reality, she didn’t mind the affection. It had been far too long since she’d been able to express it to him.

“I only wiggled it, really. It’s not as impressive as it sounds,” she waved a dismissive hand through the air, then swatted playfully at his hand when he flicked her braid. “Oi, be nice,” she groaned as she caught his hand and tugged him on board the Falcon.

OOC: Hello!

I have been the worst with replies lately (as in there have been zero replies from me lately)!! I am so sorry! I had a bunch of stuff going on and it’s probably not slowing down anytime soon but I am going to try doing a few replies today and tomorrow.

If I haven’t answered you yet and you are dying because you love the plot so much (I definitely have some of those), please message me! I’ll do my best to get to those first if I can.

Thanks for sticking with me, lovelies! <3

[leaderofdxrkness-deactivated201]

Routing through her mind was not as simple as it was for him with his other victims. She was strong with the force. And she was beginning to figure out just how strong she was. 

At her remark, Ren snarled and pressed forward with his actions, though it didn’t seem to be working. He told himself to be careful. The last time he had done this, she had ended up inside of his mind, seeing one of his own fears. One he didn’t share with anyone. 

“You don’t think you have what it takes. You’re too afraid to even try. That’s why you have not accepted Skywalker’s offer to train you….why you haven’t accepted mine. Don’t be afraid, Rey. I can show you. I can teach you true power…–” 

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

She gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut to focus on blocking out his attempts. It was a little harder to do when she could see how hard he was trying to get into her head, and she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of looking around again.

She used the force to push back at him and shove him out of her head as he started speaking again. Her eyes flew open and narrowed as she looked back at him.

“I haven’t accepted your offer because you keep doing things like this. Did you ever once stop to think that maybe if you hadn’t been trying to kill me and my best friend” -- one of her only friends at the time-- “that I might have accepted?”

[the-delusion-of-a-dreamerarchive]

“Thank you very much! Oh, how rude of me! I do not believe I introduced myself. My name is.. Tina.” No matter how many years that name still felt strange to say. But it felt even stranger to go back to her old name.

“I wouldnt want to trouble you. I can sleep in my ship tonight.” Satine did not wish to put the girl out. If she was only asking for food then she must already not have much. She couldn’t ask more of the woman. Besides, she had slept in her ship quite often, it wouldn’t be that bad. “Thank you once again though. I do appreciate it.” 

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

“Tina,” Rey nodded as she repeated it to ensure she’d heard correctly. There was nothing quite as empowering as having someone acknowledge your name. “Nice to meet you,” she smiled.

“It wouldn’t be any trouble. If there’s too much damage to your ship, I have room for you. Otherwise, I won’t be offended.” She’d made a decent home for herself but knew it probably wasn’t up to standard for others who didn’t have to build their ships out of wrecked AT-ATs. 

“It might be better to stay close to your ship tonight, anyway. That way, the other scavengers won’t try to loot it.”

The Synthetic Effect

There was a metallic click as the door slammed shut.

Hux walked into the room, soft heels still clicking loudly on the solid metallic floor of one of Starkiller Base’s holding cells. He eyed the new arrival, one slender red brow rising upwards. He smirked a bit at the sight of Rey, currently unconscious after the procedure that had entangled her memories and reality. 

He moved closer, watching her breathe, steadily, in and out as she slowly began to return to consciousness. Each moment trailed on, until he could see her eyes, widening in surprise, unsure of what to think as synthetic thoughts and memories filtered into her mind, straining her ability to withstand the brain treatment. 

“Welcome back.” He answered, watching her eyes find him in the near dark of the room. “How do you feel?”

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Rey’s instincts warned her that she’d been caught again, that this was the camp of the enemy and she needed to do whatever she could to escape and get back to–

Back to…

Well, this was her home, wasn’t it? She lived wherever the First Order did, and therefore had no reason to leave. Her brows furrowed as she tried to make sense of the conflicting information her brain was tossing around.

Her eyes rose to meet Hux’s as he spoke, her instincts yet again screaming ‘enemy’ while her mind sorted through her knowledge of him in a much more logical manner. Name and occupation: General Hux, Rey’s personal handler and overseer of military operations for the First Order. It was a relief to see him now in her momentary distress; after all she thought they’d done together, he was the only one with the capacity to calm her down.

How did she feel? Scrambled, like there was constant radio static sounding in her mind. “Tired,” she muttered as she looked around. “My head hurts. What happened?”

[anditwillbemine-blog]

“You encountered a bug in your programming.” He answered as he advanced towards her. moving to study her reactions, taking mental notes. “I was concerned that it would ruin your progress, so I had the doctors run some tests. I am happy to see you seem to be better for the most part.”

He smiled at her though the smile did not meet his eyes. It was a calculated smile, one that had already been well thought out.

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

In her programming? She didn't have programming. She wasn't a droid. His answer only caused her more confusion. Her head should have been aching from the stimulus but she felt no pain. She didn't feel much of anything, in fact. It seemed as if her mind had been hollowed out, like she was missing something crucial.

Rey nodded, not sure what else to do but trust what her handler was telling her. He was one of the only people she could trust, after all.

"I trust it has been fixed, then? And I can go back to training?"

Consequences || Closed Starter

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Rey managed to stake it out for another hour before she finally decided to take off. She slid off her bar stool and strode past the scouts, though her pace slowed just a little as she did so. She heard them radio to someone over their comms in what sounded like code, although she hardly had to guess at its meaning.

Someone was waiting for her.

She had two options: wait until they grew tired of her game and came in after her, or she could face them directly. The former would certainly lead to her arrest but at least she had a chance of dissuading them if she faced them directly, no matter how small that chance might be.

After taking a deep breath and centering herself in the Force, she stepped outside and raised her hands in surrender. She surveyed the scene until she found the man in charge, and a small smile twisted onto her lips.

“General, isn’t it?” she asked with a raised brow. “Did your Supreme Leader grow tired of Ren’s failure and send a worthy opponent for a change?”

[ofstarkilling]

❂ >>> Hux was prepared to wait as long as it would take                to meet the scavenger girl personally outside the                 cantina. He was a very patient man when he wanted                to be. He knew this plan would not–could not–fail.

When she finally stepped outside with her hands raised, a tiny smirk spread across the general’s lips. So it seemed she already knew of their presence. He was not surprised nor was he concerned. Everything was going smoothly so far.

The general motioned for a couple troopers to go over and secure her before walking over to her himself, hands clasped together behind his back. He regarded her a moment, noting that she was much shorter than he had expected. A trivial observation, at most.

      “ Oh, but of course he did. There is no room for             repeated failure in the Order, you know. I am             here, however, because I have also grown              tired of his failures and decided to take care            of this issue myself. Which, as you can see,            was a much more EFFICIENT approach. ” 

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Rey didn't resist as he sent his goons over to grab her, but walked with them as they brought her to Hux. She studied him curiously for a few seconds, trying to reach into his mind with the Force to see how susceptible he would be to a little persuasion.

"Ren's methods were anything but efficient," she smiled. "Although even he managed to apprehend me. I don't think you'll find me much trouble until we get back to your base."

[fcrgiveme]

“Right now, you’re supposed to keep your mouth shut and stay out of our way so we don’t get us all killed.” Ben’s voice was harsh and no nonsense as he strapped himself into the gunner, rotating a few times to get his body used to the system he’d operated hundreds of times before. No one could say that their profession wasn’t dangerous.

He usually sat as the copilot of the Falcon, but considering Chewie was much better at flying than he was in the gunner’s seat (his shot with a bowcaster couldn’t be beat, but Ben had him with a blaster) Ben took over where he was needed. Han and Chewie began the evasive maneuvers necessary to get them off the planet, and Ben swiveled and fired with the movement of the ship. He might have used the Force to sense where the TIE fighters were before he saw them, but hey, their lives were at stake. All’s fair in love and war, after all.

As soon as they’d broken atmosphere without any assailants on their tail, Ben huffed out a sigh and stood, making his way back into the main room. “Look, kid, I’m sorry, but there isn’t gonna be any going back to that sand trap anytime soon. Not with the First Order crawling all over its surface.”

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

“Do I look like I’m in your way?” she shot back. If they didn’t want her in the way, why had they dragged her onto their ship, anyway? Why hadn’t they just left her on Jakku?

She settled in, holding fast to her seat while the ship bobbed and flipped through the air to evade the TIE fighters. She actually quite liked the sensation of flying like this; she’d piloted her fair share of ships now and then on Jakku but she’d never ridden in something like this.

Once the fighting ceased, she sat back and crossed her arms, her eyes scanning the room she was in. Her gaze shot back to Ben when he entered and her eyebrow quirked.

“Well, who brought the First Order there?” she accused. “I don’t see why you think they’re after me. It’s not possible.” She was nobody. “Clearly, this is your fault.”

Whoooo Are You? || Closed Starter

[chasiingfreedom-blog]

      For 22 years Finn’s life had been the same routine—eat, clean, train, sleep, repeat. And then his 23rd year happened, Poe and Rey happened, and his days were never quite the same again. It was overwhelming at first—there were so many things that he didn’t know about, or was taught incorrectly, or hadn’t experienced yet—but the former trooper wouldn’t have changed it for anything in the entire galaxy. After all, he wasn’t alone anymore.

      And things only got better once Rey returned. He would forever be grateful and thankful towards the new friends he had made in her absence, but there was nothing like sharing something new with someone who was also going through it for the first time, too. Now here they were, on the brink of another new adventure for the both of them, and Finn was buzzing with excitement.

      After double checking that they had everything they needed on board, he headed into the cockpit, flashing Rey a smile as he slid into the co-pilot chair. He wasn’t able to watch the Jedi-in-training fly a ship the last time and Finn was looking forward to seeing it almost as much as the rest of the trip in general.

      ❝ Kriff yeah! ❞ Finn exclaimed, whooping as he settled in. ❝ Ready when you are. ❞

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

In Rey’s short life, she’d never met anyone as enthusiastic to experience new things as Finn. She owed him entirely for opening that possibility up to her as well. Perhaps that was why she found it so easy to relax around him, to share in the exhilaration of their new experiences. She didn’t feel out of touch around him since his knowledge of the world was around the same level as hers, so it was much easier to let her guard down and have fun for a change.

“All right, then,” she beamed over at him as he strapped into the co-pilot’s seat. “Let’s get out of here.”

She flipped a few switches and started the ignition. The Falcon’s motor sputtered to life before she raised it from the ground and angled it into space, leaving their planet of refuge behind.

“So what have you been doing?” she asked as she settled in for the trip, hitting a few more buttons on the dashboard. “I haven’t seen you in ages. Are you doing okay?”

Relieved as she was to see him alive and walking around after their encounters with Kylo Ren, she wasn’t sure how he had mentally processed the event. She wanted to make sure he wasn’t still suffering from that, even if he’d physically healed.

Dropped Thread - Kylo Ren - New Tricks

“We have ways of making you talk.” 

“I’m not telling you anything.” If there was one thing Rey knew how to keep, it was silence.

“How brave,” Ren said, straightening his posture. “But as I said, I do have ways of getting you to talk. One way or another. So you could tell me what I want to know, or…. I can extract the information from you forcefully. Your choice.”

“Who’s to say I even have the information you want?” she pointed out. “I think you’re grasping at straws, personally.” Maybe she did have the information he needed, but who cared? She wasn’t about to tell him that, and she wasn’t going to let him get it.

“So you choose force then,” Ren said, obviously unamused by her attempts to deny her knowledge of such things. “Tell me where Skywalker is. You’ve seen him. You were sent for him. I know he is alive, so where is he?” he questioned, though not forcing the information from her quite yet.

Rey was a lot less concerned about answering to him now that she’d kicked his sorry arse once. There was nothing to say she couldn’t withstand him again. It didn’t mean she wanted to endure his mental prying again, but she knew she could.

“How long do you think they’ll let you run the place when you never get the necessary results?” she asked instead of answering his questions. “I don’t think people like that stay in charge long.”

“I told you I have ways of making you talk,” he replied, completely unfazed by her remarks. He knew she knew what he could do. She had experienced it once before. And unfortunately for Ren, she’d resisted him the first time. But now he was stronger. Now he knew how to better control his powers. She may have trained. But he had too. He was much stronger than even before.

“You must remember,” Ren said, looking into her eyes, almost as if he were searching for any form of fear or weakness. But she had learned. It seemed she wasn’t going to be as weak as he’d thought. With a swift movement, Ren found himself inches from her face, just like before. “Tell me what I need to know.”

“And last time, you said you could take whatever you wanted,” Rey pointed out. “And who won that exchange?” If she recalled, it was her. It wasn’t the most pleasant victory, but she could withstand it if she needed to.

She wasn’t about to give him the opportunity, though. Instead, she struck first, using her training to push into his mind. “There’s so little of you left,” she murmured in thought before she drew back. “So much of someone else...doesn’t that grow tiring? Aren’t you sick of this?”

“I told you I have ways of making you talk,” he replied, completely unfazed by her remarks. He knew she knew what he could do. She had experienced it once before. And unfortunately for Ren, she’d resisted him the first time. But now he was stronger. Now he knew how to better control his powers. She may have trained. But he had too. He was much stronger than even before.

“You must remember,” Ren said, looking into her eyes, almost as if he were searching for any form of fear or weakness. But she had learned. It seemed she wasn’t going to be as weak as he’d thought. With a swift movement, Ren found himself inches from her face, just like before. “Tell me what I need to know.”

Giving him the information he wanted would render her utterly useless. She knew this game and how it worked, and she knew what it would take to keep herself alive. Giving up the information wasn’t at all beneficial to her survival.

Her eyes narrowed as he swooped in closer to her. Her lips pursed as she looked up at him, but it was easier to recognize his attempts to intimidate her than it had been before. She could see his actions for what they were: the last resorts of a man throwing a temper tantrum to get what he wanted. She figured he might resort to trying to pull the information from her mind with the Force again, or else swinging his lightsaber around to make her think he would actually harm her.

But the truth was, he couldn’t do much if she continued resisting.

“Look, Ben,” she said, hoping the use of the name would throw him off a little. “I’m not going to tell you. Even if I did give you a location, how would you know I was telling the truth?”

how are you so quiet about it? your sadness i mean. how do you hold it in your chest, in your eyes, in your teeth without letting it speak; how does it stay still?

[theforceisawakerey-blog]

Dropped Thread - Darth Vader - The Battle of Jakku

The quiet sands of Jakku, had been awakened. Laser fire filled the air as x-wings and tie fighters chased each other in an aerial dog fight…

The ground was louder then the sky. Rebels and imperial storm troopers battled to find a messily piece of cover in the crashed ties and rebel cruisers.

An imperial shuttle soared threw the laser fire from the star destroyer, tens of thousands of ties, turning to guard the jet black shuttle. It landed gently on the sand. Lord Vader exited the shuttle wearing a tie fighter pilot suit and some gloves, along with a crew man’s sleeveless unzipped vest. He pulled out his saber and activated the crimson red blade. His stormtroopers ready to guard him as he ran to join the battle.

There had never been much for Rey to do on Jakku but scavenge, so when the opportunity to work, to fight, had presented itself, she’d jumped at the opportunity. She’d trained with the Rebel Alliance long enough to know how to fight and how to counter the Dark Side’s techniques. Being strong in the Force gave her an advantage, and by the time the Empire struck on Jakku, she was ready.

Into the trenches, she’d gone, taking on Stormtroopers with the her standard issue blaster as opposed to the lightsaber hanging off her belt. That, she planned to save until it was absolutely necessary.

It looked like it would be needed soon. The battle was heating up, and the new shuttle brought with it a wave of dread the rebels had yet to face during this fight. Rey’s comrades became more desperate, leaving themselves more vulnerable and open to attack.

Her own actions became more focused, more in tune with the Force running through her veins. She sprinted across the battlefield and tackled one of her fellow fighters, shoving him out of the way a mere second before a blaster shot struck the sand exactly where he would have been.

She rolled a few feet away from him, her protective helmet lifting from her head and stopping in the sand just out of her reach. She had little use for it, anyway, and so abandoned it as she pushed herself back to her feet and began shooting at Stormtroopers again.

He landed on the broken wing of a tie fighter, after jumping over the rebel cover. He landed on his knee and foot, twisting the blade hilt in his hand and striking a rebel trooper.A blaster bolt was coming towards him and he twisted his saber, flinging the blade over his head and behind his back, deflecting the blast.

The blast had his the troopers gun. It was a young man…a boy practically. He didn’t seem ready to die. He extended his hand, the force wrapping around the boy’s neck.

When he decided it was a good idea to join the terrorist organization know simply as the ‘alliance’…

That was his first mistake…

It didn’t take long for Rey to zero in on the leader of the Empire’s attack. He was the one with the strongest Force signature, after all, and he seemed to have no qualms about using it.

She didn’t bother wasting time looking at who he was using the Force against. All she knew was she had to distract him before it killed his victim, one of her comrades in battle. So she took aim at him with her own blaster, squeezing off three shots. There was a possibility that none of them would reach him, but it would hopefully throw him off course long enough for his victim to escape.

Meanwhile, she activated her lightsaber and charged closer. It was her job to protect these people from the dark side and that’s what she was going to do, even if it killed her.

He turned and deflected the blasts. Beginning to lock blades with her.

“Usually people don’t ask to be killed…”

“Nobody’s stupid enough to ask for that, and you don’t get to decide who has,” she growled back, holding her lightsaber against his with as much resistance as she could manage. The last thing she needed was to ease up on her grip and let him run her through.

“End this. Nobody else needs to die today.”
