Hello, you've reached Rey. I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message, I will try to get back to you.

Thanks.

Why would it be seen as weird? Learning is essential to surviving.
Oh, expectations...very stupid expectations then.

I do like you as you are. Nerd, friend, everything. [And whoever tries to bully him or harm her friend...they'll have to face her. She doesn't seem like much of a threat, but she can be a great one.]

Can't you be your own category to fit in? You're an inventor, kind, smart, a nerd, talkative, easy going, helpful, understanding....patient. An expert on candy.

[She's being very sincere with those words, and looking at the cow emoji...]

Sort of...but more hairy and a darker color.

there are a whole lot of stupid social expectations where i'm from

[ Doubtless there are in Rey's universe, too. Maybe she's just not as aware of them, or perhaps they weren't as foregrounded when so much of her concern was basic survival and not the social hierarchy of a high school, etcetera. Cisco makes a mental note to maybe just get Eddie to explain some of that stuff to her, sometime. He's better at articulating that kind of thing than Cisco is. Just a detective thing. Gotta be aware of those nuances.

All of Rey's compliments leave Cisco somewhat at a loss for what to say. They're all things he wants to be, tries to be. But hearing (or, well, reading) Rey calling him them makes him happy and embarrassed and uncomfortable all at once. Cisco is bad at accepting compliments. ]

categories are pretty restrictive, for most people
things never work out as neatly as we want them to
you can't put people in neat boxes. that's just not how people work.

(and... thank you)

i wonder if there are any nerfs on this moon?
i kind want to see one now.

[talentedscavenger]

I can only imagine how many problems that creates.

[ To have so many expectations of someone, putting limits on them...it would be more of a headache than anything. ]

No, you can’t put a person on a box. It doesn’t do anyone any good, and limits them greatly.

(You’re welcome)

I don’t think so, but I could try to draw one for you?

[franciscoramon]

a whole lotta problems
but it's all good
i said screw it to all that a long time ago
no point pretending to be somebody else
and anybody who doesn't like it can just fuck off.

i mean you don't HAVE to
but i would definitely love that

[talentedscavenger]

Exactly. I don't think I could imagine you in any other way than you are now.

I could try? I think I still need to draw a picture of an X-Wing for Jim. He was interested in what sort of ships are in my world.

Though with Poe here..sure he could explain it better.

[franciscoramon]

thank you. that means a lot.

well if you do have poe draw an x-wing get him to send me a copy too
don't need it for anything but what kind of nerd would i be if i passed up a chance to learn about whatever kinda badass awesome space ship something with a name like 'x-wing' has gotta be?
