February Open Log

[hatejakku]

CHARACTERS: Finn & You
LOCATION: all around the station
DATE: first week after Bad Company
CONTENT: post-mission blues + kyber crystal
WARNINGS: probably just depressing, will update if needed


I. Infirmary, 13th & 14th (the hurt/comfort prompt)

[ Finn, a little thinner and a lot exhausted, couldn't find it in himself to stop just yet. McCoy had been seriously injured and needed time (likely more time than he'd allow himself) to recuperate, leaving the wounded and ill in the hands of others, Finn included.

He barely ate in Scorpion's Bend once it became apparent how important the rations were. Instead, Finn tapped into the Force and used it to sustain himself. It worked, more or less, but it had been draining the entire time. If he stopped now, he doubted he'd be able to start again. So Finn did his best not to show it. The last thing he needed to do was worry people, especially those worse off than him.

So catch him buzzing from one end of the room to the other, checking in and tending to people as he goes for the better part of two days. Then he spots you. Are you hurt? Sick? Completely fine? ]

Hey, easy. [ Whatever's up, he's going to gently guide you to sit on a bed. ] Do you feel all right? What's wrong?

II. Common Items Teleportation/Sunlight Room, 15th-17th (kyber crystal get)

[ Finn did finally go to bed, unclear if it was his own choice or some well-meaning friend's. Either way, he stayed in a deep, dreamless, dead sleep for the better part of thirteen hours before jerking awake. He wasn't woken by the usual suspects. No noise managed to permeate his sleep and what hunger he did (finally) feel wasn't the concern. It was... decidedly something else. So he got up to investigate, follow the feeling, and arrive... straight to the living area's teleportation platform.

Someone may come across him while he's looking around in his sleep clothes, clearly hunting for something specific and, apparently, small. It takes him a minute to get a handle on his abilities to lead him in the right direction, but when he does eventually move a new stack of clothes, he finds a crystal about the length and size of his thumb. He lifts it slowly, carefully, and... discovers a deep red hue when he tilts it against the light.

It's easier to see the dark red in the Sunlight Room, and that's where he stays for the next few days. It's weird in here, not being able to feel this life either, but it's the only area where he feels like things aren't completely hopeless. Because a bleeding kyber crystal calling out to him is enough to send anyone into a spiral. For Finn, after some of the things he felt in Scorpion's Bend, after the things he's done throughout his life, it might as well be confirmation for every awful thought in his head right now.

It's not until the 17th that he finally gets an idea. If you've seen him a day or so ago, looking despondent while staring at a rock, you'll find a different scene today. His legs are crossed as he sits near the water, deep in meditation, with both hands wrapped around the crystal and obscuring it from view. ]

III. Armory, 18th-20th (lightsaber?? get????)

[ Anyone who walks into the armory will immediately be accosted with apologies and promises that he's going to clean all of this up in just a second, don't worry, here, he'll clear you a spot, he's so sorry.

Once they're able to look around, they'll find the armory to be a slight mess. (Not even a bad mess. Finn's just over reacting.) What's worse, it's a mess of junk. Sure, it's all parts of weapons but they're all a bit... scattered throughout. Finn has been trying to work with the control panel to produce... something, something that he isn't giving a complete blueprint of, supposedly. It's fine, though. He's fine. Totally hasn't cracked at all.

Though, tucked close to him is a square piece of cloth with a few of these junk-esque pieces placed on it in a seemingly careful pattern. Looks like he's building something. Without the aforementioned, nonexistent blueprints, of course. ]

IV. Wildcard?

[ ooc: Finn's going to be in the infirmary and kitchen a lot, tending to and cooking for those who need it, respectively. He'll also be in the training room, sparring. Basically, you can catch him pretty much anywhere. If you want to plot something, send along a PM or find me on plurk! ]
