“how long have you been here?” cassian asks, keeping the question intentionally vague in the name of information gathering. he sips his coffee (caffeine has been feeling like a necessity as of late) and waits for an answer. @woundedwrldd​

“this design seems counter-intuitive,” says cassian as he inspects the large vehicle’s engine. there is no difference on some level between understanding the mechanics of a blaster and understanding the mechanics of this large land speeder or whatever it is – but for the moment he is, to put it mildly, confused. he sighs. “how would i go about stealing one?” @rvkybusincv​

if it is ezra, he’s older now, but cassian has seen other familiar faces here in this land that seemingly defies time and has avoided, somehow, the shadow of the empire (he is still not entirely convinced they haven’t landed in some form of afterlife, or that this is simply all a hallucination, but he must work with what he has). so cassian catches up with him in the street. “wait, i need to talk to you.” @jedimusings​

cassian is as close to relaxing as he has been in days, his caf – which was difficult to order, considering how many variations on simple coffee exist on this place’s menu – cooling slowly as he sits across from leia. “you don’t travel with security?” @mcrcki​

cassian watched the ship fly overhead, wondering still how similarly the technology on this planet functioned compared to that of his home. it was this momentary distraction that had him nearly colliding with a woman standing in the street to his right. “sorry,” he said, before frowning. it was madness to even consider, and yet she looked almost like– “what’s your name?” @dcpravities​

“pass me that, please.” cassian gestures to a wrench that has fallen just out of reach. the vehicles on this planet are certainly different, but he is familiarizing himself with them – they seem to run on similar principles. “are you from this world?” @drvcxrys​

the horror at being trapped on what was either simply a strange planet untouched by the stars or a collective hallucination had faded enough now – three days past waking up to it – that cassian could register and reflect momentarily on the fact that this opposite of his was also named cassian with at least some degree of patience. “never mind that,” he said, though his expression was not entirely unfriendly. “i need answers. what is this place?” @graveycrds​

“what happened there?” asked fili, nodding at the newspaper splayed across the table. the punchy little headline read ‘cruise calamity.’ without asking – or thinking much of it – he slid into the seat across from the dark haired woman sitting outside the cafe and turned the paper toward himself. @mischiefmuses​

When Kili had been told that he was to be buddying the new park ranger this certainly wasn’t what he had expected. He stood, frozen at the sight of the brother he had so longed to reunite with, but there was no recognition there. His heart sank. Fili had been affected by the magic here. He didn’t remember Kili, and that hurt. But, at least he didn’t remember the battle and his death. “Uh, yeah,” he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, “weird coincidence. Kili.” He shook his brother’s hand. “I’ve been here since the summer. Got the job not long after I arrived here. Do you have any experience as a ranger or is this new for you?”

fili was too busy taking in the scenery of the office to notice his brother’s colleague’s melancholy airs. he finally noticed something was off when he smiled at kili, shaking the man by the hand. “alright, mate? but yeah, been at it for a few years. just not around here. obviously. i’m not from here.” as if the accent hadn’t already given it away. “you been living here long?”

  “Fili.” “And Kili.” “At your service!”        ↳ “Stay here, search the lower levels. I’ve got this.”

“and then i was just sitting there, staring at the charred ruins of what were once perfectly healthy potatoes, overcome with grief, and who should walk in but–” fili seemingly loses his train of thought, having spotted that the weather outside has taken a turn for the worse. “ah. rain. that’s something of a given ‘round here, isn’t it? suppose i’ll have to acclimate myself.” @softsliders19​

fili’s already raising the glass to his lips when he remembers that he’s not completely alone. “oh, sorry,” he says, after he’s already drunk half the beer in one go. “was this yours? i’ll get you a new one.” the beer had been placed there by a waiter and fili, seeing his chance, had plucked it off the table. @xtory-nicholsx​

“your name is almost as strange as mine is,” fili says with a grin to his coworker. the names rhyme, too, which is another strange little coincidence to add to the slowly growing pile. he almost makes a joke about them being long lost twins, in spite of the fact that fili is blonder and taller than the other man. “fili, at your service.” he offers a hand to shake. “they told me you’d show me the ropes. you been a ranger long?” @bcrncoldx​

“you have the day off,” rhys informs nesta. “i’m taking the day off as well, and there is nothing that you – or anyone – can do to stop me.” he checks his watch. “hm. coffee? walk with me.” @rvkybusincv​

maybe she was just being paranoid after cassian had forgotten her. he seemed the same as he always did, teasing and cocky. “being fashionably late is fine, but keeping me waiting so long just feels rude.” she quipped, still slightly on edge as she leaned against the wall. “thank you. i do try sometimes.”

“somehow i doubt you need to try.” the game he’s playing of trying to coax information out of her doesn’t make rhys feel guilty, exactly, but there is something about it that bothers him a little more than it might ordinarily have. he doesn’t feel like being smoke and mirrors with this woman. he wonders if honesty is a good idea. after all, he’s made it this far. well, okay, not very far at all, but– “if i told you i didn’t remember your name, would you hold it against me?” the undercurrent of his smile turns apologetic. “it’s a shame. you clearly don’t deserve to have been forgotten even a little bit, and yet...”

the fae could sense him nearby, smiling brightly as his voice hit her ears. she turned to fully face him, though it suddenly hit her that something was wrong, and she wondered if it was the same thing that had happened to cassian. he seemed normal enough, but she couldn’t be certain without going into his mind, and invasion she wasn’t comfortable with if he didn’t remember her. “surprised you finally showed.”

she knows him, it seems, which rhys goes along with, because she’s beautiful and he still feels that ghost of familiarity even if there are no memories rushing to the surface to support it. “i prefer to be fashionably late. it’s befitting of someone as handsome as me, don’t you think?” he wonders if he can figure out why she seems to know him without outright asking – a foolish game to play, but he’s bored and he can’t see why not, and for some reason he feels like being someone that she knows. “speaking of which, you look as radiant as ever.”

rhys has gathered, by this point, that something violent has happened, which is unfortunate but vague enough that he hasn’t yet worked out a response. he is distracted by working through this problem by an oddly familiar – or maybe he’s confusing familiarity with beauty, maybe she reminds him of a painting, of some ideal – face to his right. “hello,” he says, with a roguish smile that doesn’t really fit the circumstances. “fancy meeting you here.” @tragcdysewn​
