[Poe appears to be in one of the ships, trusting the locks to keep Kylo Ren out. He's sitting cross legged, quickly turning the camera to face his newest acquisitions, a cobbled together droid, similar to the boxy simple design of a MSE-droid, and painted to match BB-8's colours. BB-8 seems very curious about his new companion, nudging it and giving a series of cheerful beeps.]

We've got a new friend here who needs a name. Anyone have any ideas?

[waterwhip]

Well, you’re always calling BB-8 your buddy, so why not Buddy? Or... BD-Y?

[happybeeps]

I knew I liked you for a reason. That's pretty damn good. I like it.

[waterwhip]

Is it going to help protect you from that man in black? The “Supreme Leader” or whatever it is he calls himself.

[ She hasn’t met Kylo Ren yet and she seems pretty unimpressed, but there’s concern in the slight crease of her brow. ]

[happybeeps]

I'm not sure they're really battle ready. Not enough to take on Ren.

[He smiles though, trying to be reassuring.]

I can look after myself. But you be careful. I don't want any of you getting dragged into this.

[waterwhip]

I know you can, but you shouldn’t have to do it alone. In the Southern Water Tribe, a threat against one of us is a threat against all of us.

What's the other one's name?

[ video ] »

[happybeeps]

He's called BB-8.

[The droid in question warbles in greeting.]

[geomagnetically]

[ After smiling at the droid (hi new friend??), she squints slightly, in thought. ]

Hrrm. CC-9? To have a theme.

[ YEP. ]

[happybeeps]

That's not bad, actually. Good option.

[geomagnetically]

I do try. [ Have a corny smile. ]

[doubled_speed]

You could ask it what name it wants when it's active.

[Yeah, Tommy's more than made his opinion on droid independence clear, hasn't he?]

[happybeeps]

It doesn't know. They are still very new.

[doubled_speed]

Okay, then how about this. Come up with a list of a few good ones, ask them if any sound good. If not, then pick one you like but remind them as they ask to change it after?

Which, frankly, I feel like everyone should get one free go of as they grow up. Sometimes parents give you shitty names.

[Maybe he just doesn't want to be a Shepherd anymore.]

And go with something that isn't a massive mouthful. Two syllables at most. Maybe... Happy? Spark? Quibble?

[He just likes the sound of Quibble.]

[happybeeps]

Sometimes. It does seem like a lot of pressure.

[No one says you have to stay one, kid.

His lips quirk.]

It's a bit strange for a droid, but I like it.

[doubled_speed]

Which one?

[thrawnsaide]

Is that a custom made droid? I don't think I've seen anything like it.

[Video]

[happybeeps]

It is. I'm not sure BB-8 knows quite what to make of them yet.

[Video]

[thrawnsaide]

I bet by the end of the day they'll be buddies.

[Video]

[happybeeps]

With any luck. He usually gets on well with most droids.

[Private]

Are you sure you want to be seen talking with me?

[Video]

[thrawnsaide]

Yes. In another day or so that droid will start to show it's personality.

[Private]

I may have politely told Kylo Ren to fuck off. He's not my Emperor and nor is it my Empire I had been working for. And if he's the Supreme Leader in your world? It only shows how bad my Empire went down. That saddens me in a way.

[kallig]

I see the droid is finally done, though I doubt you need me coming up with suggestions for names, given that you've gotten a few already.

[Altair appears to be at the hospital, as he has been for a while now, really.]


[Private]

You doing alright?

[They aren't exactly close by any stretch of the imagination, but with the new addition to the place, Altair believes his concerns to be valid, regardless.]

Video;

[happybeeps]

Came out pretty well, mm?

[Private]

[He nods.]

He hasn't come for me yet, and no one seems to want to turn me over.

Video;

[kallig]

It did. Not that I ever had any doubt.

[Hux is skilled, after all.]

[Private]

I suppose we're all decent people.

[He gives a slight smile.] None of us are going to turn you over no matter how many times he gets his underwear in a twist.

[Private]

[happybeeps]

I'm not going to blame anyone if he escalates things.
Threatening supplies is...tame.

Private;

[kallig]

There are people here with power beyond his knowledge. If he does escalate matters, no one will make it easy for him.

[He knows that for a fact.]

Besides, he is not the only Force-sensitive here. I am Sith, after all.
