Rey | Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[leftonjakku]

From one breath to the next, she was lifted from the island - or so it seemed - and deposited on a planet she had never seen. She was unbalanced to say the least and she nearly dropped the lightsaber in her hand.

"I am awake!" she spoke, frustrated, to the invisible voice she had heard...in her head? Surely it must have been. There was no one around her.

"Whoever you are, I need to go back. I was meeting someone important!" her voice rose and then broke. She forced herself to steady; to breathe; to count to ten and then backwards again.

Be calm. The answers she sought were around her. Silent, waiting... But present.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <3

[renkylo]

He sensed her before he saw her.

On one of his patrols, Kylo Ren made his way toward the girl whose presence he had suddenly felt. No, surely it was a mistake. There had been very few from his own time here and part of him was reluctant to face any of them now.

But face her, if she was really here, was what he must do.

He looked much the same as last she saw him, although missing any visible scars. He was without his mask but dressed in his usual black robes. His expression bore a slight frown as if of disapproval as he sensed her very close now...

Hiiii <33333

[leftonjakku]

He was one of the few she could never confuse for anyone else - even if she couldn't see him. Her body tensed and she was glad she had the lightsaber in her hand. Whether or not she brought out the blue blade was up to him, though Rey was on her guard.

Their last confrontation was embedded in her mind, reinforcing that she must follow the path that would make her stronger in the Force. Someone like him needed to be stopped; him and the rest of the First Order.

"What do you want?" she made herself look at him - to see his appearance and the changes. Her brow knitted in confusion. "You heal fast."

[renkylo]

His own lightsaber could clearly be seen but it remained attached to his side on his broad belt. As yet he made no action to take it out or make any other threatening movements. Quite the opposite. While there was some irritation in his gaze, he seemed cautious and watchful of her. If she was freshly arrived then it was likely she didn't have any of her powers yet but he knew to be careful.

On the other hand, his power had been fully restored and building from months of training, both on his own and with tips from some of the Jedi that were here.

Of course, she was not to know about any of that at first glance and he didn't yet inform her.

"It may be that our moments in time have not been aligned. The last time I saw you was...," he thought for a moment, calculating. "... maybe eight or so months ago.

"As for what I want. I had... felt your arrival and wanted to see if it was true." He regarded her with a measured look up and down. "It seems that my instincts were not wrong."

Plus he had lessened the scar's appearance when he'd practiced healing by Bending on himself. It was now very faint and you'd have to be very close to see it.

[leftonjakku]

With or without her power, she would fight him if need be - and likely lose miserably. But Rey was someone who stubbornly did what was right no matter the outcome to herself. She had only erred from that path once - out of fear - however Kylo Ren had convinced her to set her feet back on the straight and narrow.

"That long...?" she was shocked, "What has happened in that time? For you?" it was a broad question - eight months was a long time - but she wondered what hell he had wrought.

To her, he was a nearly unstoppable force.

"I'm here." Rey lifted her chin, fighting back a flinch, "Why are you able to sense me?"

Why am I able to sense you?

[renkylo]

He decided not to answer her first questions. There was so much to explain and she was probably unlikely to even believe it all yet.

Even though he didn't try to see into her thoughts he could tell she was confused, which wasn't surprising. Everyone was confused when they arrived, for the most part. It was a jarring and unexpected transition and took some getting used to. In some ways he still wasn't used to being in Nautilus himself.

"The Force," he answered simply. "I expect that you cannot currently feel it but it will come back to you in time.... If you let it."

His eyes were fixed intently on her but he hadn't come any closer, giving her her space.

[leftonjakku]

She twitched at his answer and moved back a few steps, holding the lightsaber between them. It was unsettling that he could read her so well without peering into her head. Rey wasn't sure what to think of anything and currently Nautilus was both her smallest problem and her largest. How was she going to get back to Luke?

"If I let it...? What does that mean?" she wanted it back. She felt wrong this way. "Why aren't you attacking?"

[renkylo]

"I could explain but I doubt that you would believe anything I had to say... and this is outlandish enough without your inherent mistrust of me," his eyes only glanced briefly at her saber before going back to her face.

"Why should I attack you?" He did take one careful step forward now. "I told you before that I want to teach you. The potential you have... It can be harnessed and you could do so much. However... Here you will have to begin again. Even the little you picked up before is gone."

Or at least he assumes she'd be like every other person who came through. Powerless at first.

"I can help you. You can learn so much more here, even more than the Force. There are powers here that are... immeasurable."

He paused, watching her. "But first you will need to trust me."

He knew, even as he said it aloud, that that would be a difficult request. So far, though, he seemed to be surprisingly calm.

[leftonjakku]

"I haven't run, have I? I am listening." Rey scoffed, "You earned that mistrust! You tortured my friend, kidnapped me, tortured me, killed..." her voice shook, "And you nearly killed Finn! If Chewie were here, he would rip you into pieces."

Fortunately for Kylo Ren, she was not a towering Wookiee with a diabolical temper. But she did have a temper and he had pushed her too far too many times.

"For the same reason you attacked me before. Because I wouldn't agree with you, right? Because I opposed you." she felt the insane urge to laugh and cry as he repeated his offer, "So I can be like you? You think you hide it, but you don't."

He was in pain; in agony and she would have felt bad for him if he hadn't hurt her friends and his family. Han Solo and General Leia did not deserve what he had done!

"He came to take you home, didn't he? And you impaled him. You are a monster."

[renkylo]

There was an obvious flinch from the one who still called himself Kylo Ren. What he'd silently been dreading for months was now here, in the form of this girl. The confrontation of what he'd done. It had been easy enough to set it aside in his head and pretend it hadn't happened when there had been nobody to know about it or bring it up. Hux wouldn't dare mention it and the rest were from before their time, so didn't know all that had happened since.

He didn't want to let the weakness of how her words affected him to show - but show they did. In the way he looked downward; lips pursed slightly and the twitch of his eyes. It was a grimace, although it may not be clear whether it was from guilt or just annoyance at her having brought up the subject of Han. It took him a moment to compose himself and, with a deep breath in and out, he looked up toward her again.

Slowly, he spoke.

"You cannot understand. This... is not relevant here and now. You have bigger problems than what happened between us back on the base."

Even with these words, he was avoiding speaking directly about the other issues and other people involved and it was clear that he was suddenly very uncomfortable.

[leftonjakku]

She didn't see what there was to understand. Her family had abandoned her on Jakku and she knew something must have happened to them - something bad. Rey would give almost anything to see them again, but she had accepted that wasn't possible. Kylo Ren wasn't like her. His father and his mother wanted him to come home. He had a home! In her eyes, he was throwing the best gift he had ever been given away.

"It's relevant to me." she spoke softly, giving her head a slight shake, "You know how I felt about him."

Han had been like a father to her, though they had only known one another briefly. They had shared a connection and this man standing before her had severed that without a thought.

"Don't worry so much about me." the words were laughable and she sighed, "Are any of your First Order friends here?"

Hello there 8D

[hadthehighground]

It must have been providence, or the will of the Force, that had brought him near when she arrived. And he had felt that presence as soon as it was there. Someone who had a strong connection to the Force, but wouldn't be able to use it just as they all were when they first came.

As his robed figure approached, he could hear her calling out. The wind catching the hem of his cloak as tousling it as Obi-Wan paused a few feet away. Merely observing the girl for a moment before finally speaking up.

"And who would be so important?"

He asked this in a calm voice, knowing how confused she felt. Perhaps he had the answers she was looking for?

Hi hi hi <3

[leftonjakku]

With or without the Force, Rey was ready and willing to fight with everything she had. Weapons could be found in unlikely places and she could move like few others. Jakku had been good preparation for her in that way. Scavenging and protecting her finds had been as essential as teaching herself to fly over the sand.

She should have been frightened when she saw him, but she wasn't. He intrigued her to such a degree that she lowered the lightsaber to her side, not wanting to spook or anger him.

"Skywalker. Luke Skywalker." Rey frowned a little at how she wanted to tell him the truth, "The last Jedi."

[hadthehighground]

For a moment he looked at the lightsaber, recognition showing there but not a bit of concern. Instead he turned his kind blue eyes back up to look at the girl's face. There's a spark of curiousity. How did she get that weapon and why? Her words though draw a slight crease of his brow.

"The last... oh, of course."

Sounding if he had nearly forgotten something, only to be swiftly reminded. A sad smile then gracing his bearded face.

"It seems you've come to the right place."

[leftonjakku]

His voice... She knew his voice. But how? When had she heard it? Rey edged closer to him, wishing she could feel the Force again. Without it, she felt like she was missing an arm or a leg - or like there was a hole in her heart.

"Is he here?" she felt her heart race, "Who are you?"

But that was probably rude. Rey licked her lips and added: "I'm Rey."

[hadthehighground]

"Yes, he is," the Jedi confirmed, wondering why exactly this girl was looking for Luke. But that could come later.

"My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi," he says with a polite bow of his head and a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Rey."

[leftonjakku]

"Where? It's...crucial...that I see him." for more than one reason. Rey's mind was wiped clean by that name, however, and she gasped.

"The...Obi-Wan Kenobi?" well there was only one, "N-No, the... The pleasure is mine! I had no idea it was your voice..."

She pressed her lips together, holding out the lightsaber again.

"You recognize this, don't you?"

[borntolove]

"Nautilus doesn't care what you were doing prior before coming here. All that Nautilus cares about is that you answered the call sent through the sleeping mulitverse and made a subconsious choice to come here. Don't worry whatever it was that you were in the middle of - time is paused thar."


A short pause, "Hallo. I'm The Doctor."

[leftonjakku]

"That...doesn't make much sense." said many other arrivals, Rey was sure (if the explanation was common), "And I'm Rey." she shifted, tucking the lightsaber back into her bag, "I thought Doctor was a title?"

[borntolove]

"Which part didn't make sense?" A short pause after the smiling and finger wave, what was that object?

"For me that's my name. Alright? Alright! Welcome to the multiverse, Rey!"

[leftonjakku]

"All of it." she eyed him suspiciously, thrown by his merry demeanor, "How can my subconscious have wanted to come here when I have never heard of Nautilus in the first place?"

Multiverse? Either this man was crazy or he knew exactly what was going on.

"Alright. How long have you been in this world, Doctor?"

[borntolove]

"Because Nautilus is a living being and in order for Nautilus to keep living, Nautilus has to send a telepathic call though-out the multiverse. Those who's mind are willing to hear the call will find themselves here.

For everything that doesn't happen in your universe, happens in another and all of those other choices that happen elsewhere happen in a parallel world in another universe.

Your universe is a snowglobe and the multiverse is a bigger snowglobe with your universe within that snowglobe and so forth.

I've been in this world four months exactly."

[leftonjakku]

"I think my head hurts." Rey found a place to sit, leaning her head against her hand, "Is this all...normal...to you? I don't think I could adapt as well as you have given four times four months!"

But she knew when push came to shove, crazy things could happen.

[notaservant]

"Whoever your meeting you won't be seeing here," Hux greeted in an indifferent tone. Hux had spotted her from a distance and hesitantly approached her. He was unsure what to expect and at first thought he was dreaming. He had wondered when Nautilus would decide to send them someone from their world...and someone who was opposing them.

He was no longer dressed in his First Order uniform and simply wore a simple civilian outfit. He stopped when he was a few feet from her, his hands clasped behind his back and no weapon in sight.

[leftonjakku]

"How do you know for sure?" she didn't recognize him immediately - she might have seen him in passing - but his title and name were unknown to her. It wasn't like she was fond of the First Order or kept track of their movements outside of what the Resistance told her.

"You don't even know who I am looking for, do you?"
