fadedlustre / luke skywalker * !!
at least it wasn’t just his mind playing tricks on him. or maybe it was the force guiding him to where he needed to be, even if he didn’t know it. luke gave the man, finn, a small smile and nodded. “uh, yeah, doesn’t mean a whole lot right now, i have to admit,” he agreed, but he could feel the man was telling the truth. he was starting to learn to trust the force his gut again. “i’m luke. or, i guess you already know that.” since the other man seemed to have his memories. so he knew his sister, and they were fighting… something. “wait, did you say a different time? what, are we from the future?” that might take a little explaining to do when it came to ezra.
・・・・・・
the other’s smile was easily returned, meekly shrugging his shoulders. “to be fair, you didn’t look like you do now when i knew you. but i’m pretty sure i’d know you anywhere.” whether that be from the force or his own wishful thinking. “this system marks time differently than we did. but based on what little tech they have i’d say probably so. no ships, at least ones like ours, no droids. they’re all human too. which considering there aren’t any wookiees who always win at dejarik maybe it’s a good thing.” finn smiled, but it was slight, a bit bittersweet. he wouldn’t mind seeing chewie again, any of them. “but i haven’t seen any evidence of —” dark forces, “— of anything bad, besides the whole barrier thing of course. so whatever is going on, i think it’s something we haven’t faced before.”
finn’s feet carried him towards the other before he could stop himself. he’d recognize the jedi anywhere ( with the force helping guide him or not ). finn’s smile dropped slightly at the immediate question. finn had rather hoped the other had all his memories, that he wasn’t afflicted like many of the others around town. but nonetheless finn was relieved, seeing luke alive. “we have. but not here.” he was quick to add, knowing how confusing, perhaps painful it’d be to not remember it all. “&& in a different time,” brows furrowed, though finn offered a comforting grin. “but it’s okay. i’m finn. i was part of the resistance with your sister, general leia. though i know that might not mean anything to you now.”

maybe it was just for luke but despite having very few memories of his past, things were going really well for him. unusually well, in fact. he was getting to know his brother in law, han; he’d met an amazing guy who didn’t seem to judge him for the fact he had galaxy-sized holes in his memory, and his job was relatively stable. all things considered, luke was having a great time of it. but he was getting concerned with the hazy moments of deja vu when he met certain people. like the guy walking towards him at that moment. he wasn’t certain that he’d met him but something inside him said the guy was important. “hey, sorry. have we met?”
dcvinely / marley rose * !!
Marley was somehow good at making decisions, especially if it wasn’t about herself. She could indulge into someone else’s life without ever having to think about her own. So, when the other had said that they did need the help, Marley let out a content sigh, soon a smile spread over her features. If she had learned anything while being in Ivywood, it was that it wasn’t as different as Lima, Ohio. Well, other than random people waking up here. Other than that, she found similarities between the two small towns. “Well, I’m definitely glad to help!” And with that, she went around to a few different clothing racks, picking and grabbing different clothing items for the other to try. When she finished, she returned with a smile. “I think these would look good on you, too.”
・・・・・・
the one shirt was all the help finn expected. while used to the community back on the resistance base, he doubted many other places could even come close to replicating it. how could they ?? after seeing && going through what they all did together, those bonds were forged. he couldn’t expect much from such a place he knew little about, but the kindness of others was a surprise, but welcomed. eyes widened with each additional item she picked, smile genial as he chuckled. eagerly, he took her suggestions without question. he may not have ever picked them for himself, but he found he liked them regardless. “see, i never would’ve picked any of this out. back where i’m from we just kinda wore what was durable.” a shrug, his smile only widened. “i’m finn. i can’t say i can help you with fashion, but i owe you one.”
while feeling much more comfortable in the attire he came to ivywood in ( how he did, finn was still trying to figure out ), he knew it was best to blend. that was something finn was used to, having simply been a NUMBER once. though, that felt like forever ago now thankfully. dark gaze wandered over the different pieces, all the different fabrics. he pulled out a simple tee, wondering to himself if it was blast-proof when the other spoke. finn couldn’t help but grin, immediately more at ease. “really ?? cool.” with that he slung it over his arm, eyes moving between her and the clothing rack. “you’re good. if anything i need the help.” he admitted, a light laugh following his words. “i’ve never been all that good at this stuff.” he never had the privilege to be before.
waking up in a town where she had no idea who anyone was or how she got there was weird for the girl. she felt like singing a song about it, but she decided against it. this wasn’t glee club, although she wished it was. it didn’t take her long to use her resources and get a job at finder’s creepers, a thrift and consignment shop in the town. although she couldn’t leave and she had no idea how she got there, she got an ounce of happiness out of working there and going back to school. while at work, marley had been gawking from far away, unsure if she should walk up to the other and tell them that they would look great in the shirt that they were looking at in the thrift shop. finally, she shot her nerves down and basically strutted towards the other. “that would look so good on you!” marley spoke, a bit of enthusiasm in her voice before she realized. she felt like retreating. but she had already gotten herself into this mess. “i, uh… didn’t mean that in a creepy way, i’m— sorry.” ivywood was a place to find her inner lady gaga. she needed to be more.. out of her comfort shell.
despite the l o n g line, finn was rather preoccupied with studying the technology this system had. while advanced in some ways, it also severely lacked in others. no ships, not even speeders. cars, they were something, but damn were they SLOW. if they had the falcon, or really any old ship, they could all be outta here by now. the droids, that’s the only word he could use to describe them, that people were using to select their orders were the same ... slow. finn chuckled at her words, shaking his head. “to be fair, the people ahead of us just might not know how to use those things.” he certainly didn’t. “that or the droids are just acting up. some of the ones i used to know were quite stubborn with when && how they wanted to work.”
Month number two. It was ridiculous. Is ridiculous. Will likely be ridiculous for a very long time. Peggy wasn’t as angry at Howard now. Didn’t mean she didn’t want to be. Having time to cool down and take stock of her situation not that she really had much of a choice was vaguely a good thing. Only vaguely. No more than that. She still had yet to settle down. Any moment, she couldn’t help thinking hoping, she’d disappear from Ivywood and find herself back home with her family. Back home to her position as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Any moment at all now please. The only thing that happened was the line became one shorter. Peeking around the person in front of her, Peggy nearly tutted at the lack of progress. “How long do you think it will be until there’s an employee out here taking our orders the old fashioned way?”
edgcofgreat / han solo * !!
Han wasn’t impressed. It was clear that the stranger– Finn knew more than he was letting on. Hell, he might have let it go, if it weren’t for the fact that he was clearly trying to hide something, something personal. If it was something that could help him find his kid, or just get some answers, he wanted to know. “ Kid, I know a good liar when I see one, and you ain’t one. You’re gonna have to try a hell of a lot harder than that. ”
・。・゜★
finn was hoping that’d be enough, but he could tell from the look on han’s face it was f a r from it. despite how uncomfortable it all was, finn knew if roles were reversed he’d want to know. the idea of information being held, not helping in all the ways he potentially could — finn never wanted to experience that sort of thing again. a sigh pushed past him, offering a small, kind grin. “okay, yeah — it’s a bit more COMPLICATED than that. you’re gonna think i’m crazy solo, but ... i knew an older you. but !! i have good news, depending on what you do remember. the empire lost. && the was this thing called the first order that may have taken its place but, we won against them too.”
edgcofgreat / han solo * !!
Han’s brow furrowed together. Clearly this kid knew more about him than Han thought, but he couldn’t remember ever meeting him. Sure, a lot of faces came and went in his line of work, but still, the other man’s words caught him off guard. “ Solo is what? ” He asked, brow furrowing together as his hand fell back to his side and both of them immediately went into his pockets. “ Sorry kid, not ringing any bells. Mind filling me in? Maybe it’ll help. ”
・。・゜★
solo is what ?? heart practically sank— mouth DRY as finn attempted to reign it back. he certainly didn’t want to be the one that told him. not as someone the other didn’t even remember, let alone at what was supposed to be a celebratory occasion. finn forced a chuckle, waving it off. “i don’t know what i was getting at ; i think i drank more than i realized.” he jested, despite not even having a drop yet. “we ran into each other on a mission once. things got bad, as usual, && you helped me out. i’ll always be GRATEFUL, just so you know.”
“— you ... you remember me ??” he may not have been the lando finn had known, but there was no question it was him. thank force. for one of the first times that evening finn felt a bit more RELAXED. “there is, but don’t worry ; they have nothing on your style or capes.” finn mused, a short laugh breaking from him. having someone to talk to, a friend, finn felt like maybe there was hope in figuring this all out. “perhaps a bit ago i would’ve agreed. but i’m not sure we know what we’re up against yet. have you heard about the border ?? apparently there’s no way in or out. but there’s gotta be a flaw.” there always was.
𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗡
“ seems the gang’s getting back together. ” lando’s smile was warm, genuine as he laid eyes on the younger man. he couldn’t explain how they were all ending up here, but he would never complain about seeing yet another old friend. “ it’s good to see you again, finn. and thankfully under much calmer circumstances this time. ” taking a sip of his drink, he glanced around the ballroom before returning his attention to finn. “ certainly is a pageantry on display tonight, isn’t it? ”
impcrishable / leia organa * !!
How odd that sounded. General. Her father told her all about the great Jedi generals but never once considered herself even close to one. At least not now. She’d dreamed of it, but only when absolutely necessary. Things were peaceful… well… at least until now they were. Leia was prepared to be Mayor Organa, somehow holding the title of Princess amongst her people. “General?” she asked with a frown, “That’s Princess or Your Highness to you…”
・。・゜★
the system that he found himself on was only getting worse && finn had a feeling he’d be trying to understand how all this was happening for quite a while. nonetheless, it’d be a lie to say finn wasn’t relieved to see leia — even if he didn’t understand how it was possible. people believed in leia ; they had figured out to get of situations just as bad as this one, right ?? “sorry, gen— princess.” how much did she know ?? “i didn’t mean any disrespect. it’s just — you’re one of the LAST people i ever expected to see.”
edgcofgreat / han solo * !!
Han felt ridiculous here, dressed in some suit that was way too tight and overall unpleasant, surrounded by people dancing. He was sure that if it weren’t for Leia, he wouldn’t have come in the first place. But here he was, and perhaps the first interesting thing that happened to him all night was when someone, who he assumed was a fan, came up to him. “ Uh, yeah. I think there’s a reason for that, kid. ” He held out a hand. “ Han Solo. You got a name? ”
・。・゜★
perhaps it was RUDE to stare, but finn couldn’t help it. he knew of the past — the clone troopers that were made in the likes of jango fett, bred to serve. could something like that have happened again ?? it felt like han though. && that was something finn was having difficulty in understanding. “that’s not funny. we all know solo is —” words trailed off, jaw clenched tight. even now, it hurt too much to say out loud. finn shook han’s hand regardless. “it’s finn. we’ve met before though. you know — big deal in the resistance ??” a hint of a grin formed at the memory, but he also wanted to see what han ... or whoever knew.
seeing everyone else joyous at such a celebration, finn felt like he should be as well. but he couldn’t. he was not long ago, when the resistance finally saw VICTORY, but it seemed that would be short-lived. perhaps he was foolish to think it would take time for palpatine, supporters, or even someone or something new to make such an impact. but whatever brought him here, it felt d a r k . even at the sight of a younger someone who represented light, HOPE ; for it couldn’t be her. “general organa ??” the name slipped his tongue regardless, dark gaze immensely confused. @impcrishable / leia organa.
having not grown up with any TRADITIONS, finn found them all a bit odd, albeit fascinating. valentines day, one day to show love to family, to friends. he already knew it wasn’t going to be his favorite. in the midst of war, one day was never enough. he’d been admiring some of the questionable heart décor when he felt it — a draw to someone he couldn’t ignore even if he wanted to. finn had heard of the memory lapses, the identical faces that some people in this town had to endure, but he knew her. finn immediately rushed over to rey, arms winding tightly around her frame. “rey. you’re here. you’re okay.” a pause, brows worriedly knit. “i mean, you are okay, right ?? SAFE ??” @spcllbovnd / rey.
EARTH — quite a strange system, even stranger having never heard of it before. they’d won the war ; certainly palpatine couldn’t have found a way to come back again ... && again, right ?? racing thoughts shortly stopped however at the sight of the other. the FORCE could do many things, but it couldn’t bring back the dead. finn knew he was foolishly HOPEFUL, but the words came before he could stop himself. “has anyone ever told you that you resemble this one famous rebellion general ?? or —” a younger version of him. “ — sorry. guess i’m just trying to find familiar faces in everybody,” he attempted to quip. @edgcofgreat / han solo.
