But I'm only human (open)
Who: Rey
What: settling in and stuff
When: throughout June
Where: different locations in Trench
Content Warnings: possible discussion of child abandonment, war stuff, will add more as needed
i. Sanguine Station (the first few days after arrival)
Remembering who she was was easy. Coming to terms with the reality of this place was harder. She spends a few days at the inn, pouring over the journal that had been given to her along with other items. There were others who seemed to be in similar straits, and if anyone approaches her while she's sitting at one of the tables in the inn with the journal in front of her she'll speak with them.
ii. exploring (anytime)
Once she's quietly freaked out enough at the inn Rey sets out into the city. She finds herself in Willful Machine, walking through the shops and pausing to look at anything shiny that catches her eye. She likes to touch things though she makes no attempts to buy anything.
She is surprised when she finds a shop selling old bits of machinery and wires, taking more time in there than anywhere else. In her mind she's cataloguing everything, how many portions certain parts would have gotten her back on Jakku. Part of her is still the starving scavenger girl, even if she's tried to grow beyond her.
iii. house hunting (towards the end of the month)
The inn was comfortable enough but Rey needs her own space. Part of her had been looking from the first day, but so much of the Trench seemed loud or crowded, both things that Rey enjoyed, but on her own terms. She needed something quiet for her own space, and after almost an entire month of staying at the Sanguine Inn she found a small victorian-style bungalow at the end of a road of homes mostly overgrown by vegetation in Crenshaw.
It was big enough for her to park her speeder that had somehow appeared on the beach not long after she had, and had a little shed out back that had an old workbench that looked like something she could repurpose into something useful.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, so after moving her meager belongings in she got to work in cleaning up the yard.

"Did you erase his memory? Think he was just some tool for you to use? This is Leia Organa's droid and his memory went back to before the Fall of the Republic, I certainly hope he's got a backup because if you erased all that..."
no subject
"He hasn't lived through the fall of the Republic." He keeps his words short and clipped. He keeps a tight leash on his anger, that they had let one droid keep his memory while wiping 3PO who could equally be relied upon to keep silent. The continued secrecy around his marriage was testimony to that.
no subject
"How is that possible?" But then, there was something off about this place. She hadn't seen her speeder in over a year and yet it sat outside waiting to take her home. A moment passes before she tries to get a grasp on the situation, feeling more with the Force now than with her own emotions. "Who are you?"
no subject
Did they remember who he was? Or had Vader overshadowed everything else?
no subject
The grandfather that Kylo had wanted so badly to be like. With that information, Rey can feel it now, in the Force. A presence not unlike Kylo's, something he would probably find comforting but she does not.
"I was trained by your children. How are you younger than they were?"
no subject
He stares at her, one hand lightly placed on his droid's dome when he beeps sadly at him.
"Is that what you expected me to say?"
no subject
"No," she replies flatly. "I was expecting a real answer, but I suppose that's a lot to ask from a Skywalker."
no subject
"Then you should tell me. I was here first."
Him, Obi-Wan, Maul and Savage. They'd all been roughly from the same time period with no real way to know that their timelines didn't quite line up. Qui-Gon was the first sign, but it wasn't until Luke that it started to become clear.
no subject
"I suppose that sort of explains why things that I left on Jakku a year ago ended up here, too."
no subject
"The pthumerians... they're powerful. I once wanted to know if it was possible to learn what they do."
He's aware of how alarming that might sound to someone who only knows of that monster.
no subject
"They're... gods, aren't they?" She knows of the two sides of Anakin Skywalker, the man who fell and the most hated man in the galaxy who was redeemed by his son. Furthermore she knows his grandson. "It wouldn't be possible. That kind of power... no one should have it."
