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.

"Ah." That softness to her voice. Rey might know Leia, but Padmé didn't. Stories, certainly, but it had come as a surprise to her when Anakin had gotten a touch suspicious that she wasn't pregnant. She'd just learned of Luke not that long ago too. Yet not only would she be pregnant, but with twins. "I'm afraid time is a little less straightforward here. I'm not- that hasn't happened for me yet."

"She looks a lot like you. Probably did even more when she was younger, I only know her as an older woman. Not old I mean, she's not-" Rey cuts herself off, scrunching her eyes closed as she feels herself spiraling. "I'm... saying a lot. I'm sorry."

There's that light chuckle, but even if she is old old, that... is nice to know. Padmé is aware she won't have that, but that her children can... "It's quite alright. I- I don't mind, hearing about them. Even if it is unusual."

"It's weird, isn't it? I've met your husband, and... Luke. I've only ever heard stories of him at the age he's at here, the man I knew was so different." She rubs the back of her neck absently as she thinks of him, a little sadly. Maybe they weren't so different, but the Luke of her time had been so tired. Broken, from failing his nephew.

"His nephew, Ben, turned to the dark side. He blamed himself." Because of course, he definitely had a hand in Ben's choice. Rey couldn't absolve him of that, even after he'd sacrificed himself to help the Resistance escape.
