USERNAME: parker

( peter is Uncomfortable doing this. he tried desperately to change his username and nothing in his nerd brain and encyclopedic knowledge of coding languages has offered any respite from part of his name being attached to whatever he wanted to say. which means he has to be careful about what he says...

though, he's gotta ask, because he's gotta know. )


so, uh, quick q

anybody feeling weird? not... quite themselves..... . . . . since they got here

( that's it. short and sweet. hopefully it's vague enough to not indicate anything but still leading enough to possibly result in getting the answers he's hoping for. )

you're talking like... spacecraft, right? wow. spacetravel is possible in my world, but it's incredibly difficult and expensive.

( he can't really picture a junkyard of abandoned spacecraft. and not just because most stuff never comes back to Earth or explodes somewhere between liftoff and reentry. )

war might be the wrong word, but, it's not my first time being thrown in a fight i didn't ask for
yeah. it would. but there's only so much a normal guy can do.

( Peter sort of misses being normal, it's hard to not be a little disappointed that at some point his powers will return, and his Responsibilities along with them. )

[purpose]

Yeah. It's common in my galaxy.
Wouldn't that be primitive? I can't begin to imagine a world without it.

[ as for the second half, rey pauses. it comes in a separate message, no less idealistic and hopeful than rey herself. still, she has her own experience being pulled into wars, only to discover her place in it.

she can't imagine walking away from that. ]

Most people don't ask to be thrown into a war, or even a fight. It finds you. It finds you for a reason.
You just have to decide whether it's worth fighting. I would say so.

doesn't feel quite as primitive when you have never known anything else

( the concept of being landlocked on your own planet when there are other planets and universes out there and for some universe there's a whole graveyard of spacefaring ships, well, it does seem limiting. )

yeah, i've heard that one before. ( and the whole moral responsibility to fight because he has the power to do a lot of good, yadda yadda. it's still a lot for a teenage kid to handle,Rey. ) i guess i'm still deciding as far as this place goes.

[purpose]

I'm only trying to help.

[ to be clear. much as she feels the need to rally others to the cause, concerned for this world and her own, that isn't her intent now. better than anyone, she understands that flavor of self-doubt and the need to express it. ]

You're not alone in that. We're all deciding.
You'll know what feels right.

[ easier said than done, but rey is forever the idealistic, even when it's tragically unrealistic. ]

i know. it's okay.

( it takes a lot more than a pick yourself up by the bootstraps and do what you can peptalk to offend him. he knows the intentions are good, he's just Sensitive about Responsibilities, ok Rey??? not all of us immediately run head first into destiny!!! )

go with my gut, huh? well, luckily i'm pretty good at that.

[purpose]

[ look, sometimes you just have to yeet into destiny ??? a very star wars theme. ]

Good. You'll be needing it.
I hope whatever you're missing comes back to you.

[ in time, at any rate. ]

( yeet into destiny or be yeeted into destiny unwittingly, as they say. do people say that? they do now. )

thanks. i hope so too.
