[ he's honestly glad this talk is happening through text rather than face to face, because it is awkward, for a number of reasons, and at least this way, he has a moment to think a while before he sends something back. ]
i got The Talk from dad around like 14 or 15. our district's school kinda sucked, so they didnt cover it.
there was a guy i did it with a week or so before i got stuck in hapsburg. i was 17 then.
[ and it had been right about a week before, specifically because he'd considered that he might die trying to get jehanne back. he hadn't considered what else they might do to him. it came out to about the same, as far as his sex life was concerned. even if he never saw that boy again, at least he'd had the experience of something good, something simple, before all the bad. ]

I thought it would make cleaning up easier. Which it still would! I just need to work on the algorithms that let it recognize trash.
[That pause has Vic worrying he blew things. But the eventual reply has him grinning like a dork even if no one can see it.]
Great! I'll find out what's playing and we can figure out a good time to go.

Think you might be alone on this one, Lance. But good luck.
Well, you've never been dead before either.
[Erm... oops? Probably shouldn't tell a friend that they're dead in his time line.]

full house? annoying neighbor girl? the show with the little girl and the weird catch phrases?
none of this ringing a bell?

Of course you will. Or you'll die. It's what you lot do.
[Either way he ends up alone.]

Yup. That's Fitz.
And what constitutes a fuck-up?
that's the pointy-eared kid, right? whose name is, misleadingly, not actually zelda.

Update robot voice not so effective. Using lots of technical terms while I explain how to build a robot? More effective.
I've heard that more times than I care to count.

Poe absolutely believes she's found it here. The Resistance was the best cause he'd found with the best people. He can't imagine a better place and with her and Finn, quality people like Akbar and Organa, this was the best place to belong. Rey likely didn't appreciate just how well she fit in here, she couldn't see herself from the outside looking in. It's a puzzle piece fit and honestly he can so easily see himself falling into her and Finn like she wants. Like he thinks he wants too. The thought excites him but he has too much respect for them and love itself to just say yes on a whim. They'll get his dedicated thought and an honest answer.
Rey was a lovely listener too. Even the parts he knew were redundant she gasped and tucked her head into him. It was so charming. He so badly wanted to kiss her head when she peeked out from his side. It was a thought he resisted but it was harder to do so by the minute.
He sweeps past the part about Kylo getting his information and there was a strange understanding then. He knew that she knew. She knew the grimy details and he didn't need to explain it to her the way she did to others. He need not broach the subject with her, and he appreciated that. It made him want to be honest and tell it all to her, she'd get it. When Kylo Ren got his information he wanted to shrink into nothingness. He had been so exhausted trying to resist but he wasn't force strong, he didn't have any defense against a sith. That didn't make it easier to swallow.
He squeezed Rey tighter and he does peck the crown of her head.
"We both are." and she resisted him, even turned the tables on Kylo. Poe's so proud of her. He counts that one as her getting a little revenge for him, even though she didn't know it at the time.
"I passed out after he left me. The next thing I knew a storm trooper was coming to collect me. I was staggering in the hall, he had to lead me by my arm it was so bad. Then out of nowhere, we're in this hallway, two guards are patrolling ahead of us but they're not facing us. My guy orders me into this pocket corridor, right? He says if I do exactly as he says that he could get me out of that place. I was so confused. he takes his helmet off. I'd never seen a storm trooper but hearing his actual voice, not muffled by the damn mask, it made it all the better." and there is no need to introduce Finn.
"He says 'This is a rescue, I'm helping you escape. Can you fly a TIE Fighter?' and I thought he had to be with us. So I asked and he just squints his eyes.
'What? No, I'm breaking you out, can you fly a TIE Fighter?'
I felt kind of offended, this guy has no idea what I'm like. I said 'I can fly anything.' Finn's smile then, it was like a sunrise. He was so excited. I ask him, 'why are you helping me?'
He paused, I didn't think he even knew why. He just nodded. 'Because it's the right thing to do.'
I realize he needs to escape too. I said he needs a pilot, he hadn't even thought of that and he agreed. I was so excited, I said 'We're gonna do this!'"

[ Even if it is awkward, Steve would have rather have had this conversation looking at him. At least, then, he could have reached to take his hand or held him close. ]
Talk was all the boys I grew up around were good for. Bucky never let 'em get too detailed, but I guess that was fine with me since I wasn't looking at girls the same way he was. Too busy fighting. [ And you just didn't do stuff like that with guys. Ever. Even in private, it was risky. But he's getting off topic, and he honestly can't believe they're talking about this now. ] What about after that?
