[ she's talking out of her ass and not answering daisy's very straightforward question. which, really, daisy kind of deserves. she does it to everyone else. but she wants to know! ]
[ and then, smiling entirely too wide for someone who's truly intimidated, daisy reaches over to pull a grape tomato out of jyn's salad, popping it in her mouth with a satisfied hm. ]
No! Because it is pointless to terraform a gas giant when you could build a city above it anchored to the gravitation at its core, and then mine gasses from the planet itself if you want to take advantage of natural resources.
[ jyn's voice pitches up a little but she complains about this in the lab itself so. everyone already knows how stupid she thinks the idea is. luckily, she thinks they are leaning more toward terraforming jupiter's many, many moons. ]
[ he was a keep your feet on the ground type of guy. obviously, it was something jyn was very passionate about though. maybe he'd do some reading tonight so he could better understand what the hell she was talking about. ]
I fixed a broken piece of equipment today so obviously the big ideas are with you.
[ this is what happens when you put a girl born in space on a stupid dirt planet. ]
They're not really big ideas. [ they're sensible ideas.
her moment of fervor cools thinking about her trees. it's still baffling to her that jovavich followed through. she is used to politicians that talk about fighting for peace but clam up when it came time to actually stand up and do something about it.
politicians don't actually listen. cassian was right to frame it as a political move for leverage. ]
[ jyn would acknowledge daisy's compliment but she has the emotional maturity of an eggplant. as it is, she just shoves more salad in her face and lets marcos field the question about his own job.
[ jyn thinks about stabbing marcos with the fork but she doesn't want to, you know, further traumatize her friend. these two people are her first friends in this place. that's a funny thought that makes her stomach twist uncomfortably.
she pushes it away. ]
I used to cheat at Sabacc but no one could prove it.
[ she also used to just outright steal things. yolo: the jyn erso story ]
[ yes, daisy remembers new tokyo, alright. though she mostly remembers it because she'd gotten into a big fight and nearly died of hypothermia. different priorities. good thing jyn was on the rescue mission track. ]
I'd say you missed out, but honestly, you really didn't. [ she does not miss the gulag. ] I'd rather deal with a blizzard than fighting other people's nightmares any day.
You were the only silver lining in New Tokyo, [ she tells marcos.
new tokyo was shitty. it snowed and she got hit with a chair trying to help someone and she and prompto crashed a bike and then she had to fortune told and learned she and everyone who died with her on the beaches of scarif were forgotten after the war so that a jedi who deserved nothing could receive sole credit for winning the war.
Wasn't really my favorite either. [ it was place where his life had changed and he hadn't been able to go back yet. and, if he does find a way, he's not sure what kind of person is gonna be sent back to the mutant underground. ]
But I'm glad I could at least give you one good memory. [ it's not much but it's something. ]

[ you're making him sound like a sweaty neckbeard, jyn. ]
Jyn helped me get this job. I recently lost my other one.
[ no call no for torture and all. ]

Are you from the safehouse?

[ she said he was glowing! that was meant to be an affirmative. ]
He is.

[ sometimes it seemed like it hadn't been that long and sometimes it felt like he'd been here for years. ]
Jyn's been letting me couch surf every once in awhile in exchange for trying on jackets to make sure they'll fit her friend.
no subject
[ and jyn. he really likes jyn. he wants to put his mouth on jyn's mouth too. ]
no subject
You can both fuck off.
[ real intimidating, with the humor escaping the purse of her lips. ]
no subject
[ and then, smiling entirely too wide for someone who's truly intimidated, daisy reaches over to pull a grape tomato out of jyn's salad, popping it in her mouth with a satisfied hm. ]
How was work? Still trying to terraform gas?
no subject
[ was that even possible? ]
And here I am just carrying boxes around all day.

Yeah, but you did get a bunch of trees planted, so. There's that.

[ and since daisy doesn't compliment people just to hear the sound of her own voice, it's something sincerely meant, even if it's flippant. ]
Did you get Marcos your old grunt job?
no subject
[ and he's thankful for that. ]
Saved me from being a vagrant and turning to busking for money.
[ not that he had any musical talent. or a musical instrument. or any desire to do that at all. ]
no subject
buncha people died, there was an opening.
(plus she has to google busking.) ]
People get credits for that?
no subject
[ but even the worst people would get pity money thrown at them. ]
Why, that something you wanna do, Miss Erso?
no subject
[ she was an orphan and a homeless kid! give her a break! ]

I had no idea I was friends with such a troublemaker.

[ marcos, clarke, strangers on the network. ]
Daisy was my accomplice.
no subject
[ from jyn, of course, and a little from cassian. ]
I think I showed up just after that. In New Tokyo.
[ y'all remember all that ice and snow, right? ]
That's where I met Miss Erso.
