[ THE HANGAR ]

( it comes as no surprise to rey that it takes no time at all for her to end up surrounded by ships. she's still not entirely convinced that this isn't some weird first order trick, but if it isn't then it's just plain weird. either way she's happiest when she's around vehicles, so that's where rey ends up. the place may be strange but this isn't, and the smell of the hangar is immediately familiar to her. it even manages to tease a smile out of her otherwise scowly face.

at any given point she can be found nosing around various ships. mostly she's content to just lurk from the outside, but occasionally she'll push her luck and climb up the outside to get a better look at things. she's got her mask on though, so there's maybe some plausible deniability if she gets caught? maybe. probably not, honestly.

she starts warming up to the area quite quickly, enough so that she's happy to start experimenting a little with the tools available. there's things that need fixing all over the place -- including the workers -- and rey very ""helpfully"" invites herself to join the crew. is she useful? yes. has she been in any way invited to join in with repair work? no. not at all. she also has some very specific ideas about how exactly some parts should be fixed, which she is glad to make known very loudly. feel free to stop the girl arguing with an actual robot at any point, because she's not looking likely to calm down.

as the days begin to wind down, rey should probably find her bunk. and yet here she is, still lurking in the hangar working away. when she's finally tired enough to call it quits, she just finds a ship with their entrance open and sleeps just inside the main doors. sorry to anyone who actually owns it, rey's only planning on staying a few hours at most, she swears. )

[ THE ATRIUM ]

( this place transfixes her for entirely the opposite reasons to the hangar. growing up on jakku, rey has barely experienced greenery like this, so she becomes kind of obsessed with the rooms. she mostly avoids the zen gardens and sand, not because it bothers her so much as having very little interest in the place, but the gardens.

well she just adores the gardens.

rey is pretty much always barefoot when she's in here, practically running around like a kid in a candy store. her eyes are alight, beaming completely unhindered as she explores every nook and cranny of the place. when she's done that she climbs a tree and sets herself up for a while, idly watching the other people visiting the atrium from her vantage point. it's not at all creepy, she swears. occasionally she might drop her head out of the foliage to greet a stranger, but for the most part she stays hidden. she loves it up here. )

[ SOMETHING ELSE? ]

( let's get weird. if you've got something in mind, throw me a random starter or hit me up for questions! feel free to request your own personalised starter! if you want to work out how to make tdm threads work for canon, hit me up and we'll figure it out! )

[Kurama's had a couple of days to familiarize himself with the atrium now, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. It's the safest place he can be on the Eluvio, and while he has the general layout down there are still so many nooks and crannies to find, plants foreign and familiar to avail himself of. He knows he has company, aware of a strange energy in a nearby tree and a scent near enough to Earth human to make no difference, but since the other person doesn't seem to be hunting him, Kurama continues about his business to see what they'll do.

His business, today, is seed collecting. A bed of flowers he mostly recognizes encircles the tree near the edge of its reach, where the flowers can get a little sunlight but not too much. They're little things, forest blooms he doubts he'll find a real use for, but they look nice and that's reason enough. Kneeling, he sends his energy into some bluebells, urging them to provide for him; the flowers begin to swell, petals bending back and withering as the seed pods they hide grow too large to contain. Finally, perhaps a second after his energy first made contact, the seed pods pop open and, with one more nudge, spill their seeds into Kurama's waiting hand.

Ta-da! Bet Rey never saw anything like that on Jakku.]

( rey just about drops out of the tree with surprise.

it's not like she hasn't seen weird things in her time, but never straight up magic. in no time at all she's clambering out of the tree, down the trunk and staring from a much closer vantage point. like a few feet a way kind of close. sorry, she's just really really impressed with that whole trick. )

How did you do that?

( she doesn't want to sound as impressed as she does, but rey's never been particularly good at hiding that sort of thing. besides, she's just way too focused on the 'how the hell can a person do that' angle to be too concerned. there really isn't anything like this on jakku, at all. )

[As expected. Everyone loves a neat trick. Kurama glances up at his companion, assessing without malice, and explains a little.]

I have a particular affinity for plants, so I've learned to use the energy within me to make them grow. Here.

[He picks one seed out of the pile with the thumb and index finger of his free hand and holds it out for the young woman in front of him to take and inspect as she will.]

That's amazing.

( it's said completely honestly, rey really is every bit as impressed as she looks and sounds. she's seen more new and wonderful sights over the last few weeks than possibly in her entire lifetime, and even in this weird kidnapping space ship, there's still things going on that completely fascinate her. )

Are you going to plant them?

( she asks the question as she raises her palm up to inspect the seed closer, although she's not exactly sure what she's looking for. signs of magical tampering, maybe. )

Some of them, perhaps, but I don't need to.

[He doesn't need to see it himself to know that the seed in Rey's hand looks just as natural as if it had developed on its own, not when he's been doing this for centuries. It's still cheering to see such wonder in another person's eyes, though, and while Kurama has no idea what tricks she might be hiding up her own sleeve, he thinks it'll be easy to make a friend of her.

Which sounds completely horrible, but even when he's being nice he's a little bit horrible, so it's just a good thing she's probably not a mind-reader.

To demonstrate what he meant about not needing to plant the seeds, Kurama sends a bit of his energy into the one Rey's holding. It's just a tiny strand, too fine for most demons back home to notice unless they're paying careful attention, but that's all it takes to make the seed begin to grow, swelling as quickly as the flowers had first to an egg-like yellow bulb a couple centimeters long, then sending up a little stalk that grows sturdier and longer until it curves over, heavy with fresh purplish-blue flowers.]

As long as I have a seed, I can grow flowers anywhere I like.
