Second floor common room- Sunday night

[thatwaslucky]

After work which she had totally gone to even it wasn't posted, Rey came back and didn't feel like hiding out in her room tonight. Instead, she'd gone to the common room to see if there was anything that looked good on TV.

There was only one thing she saw that looked remotely interesting so far, and it had left her with a very strong curiosity as to who Kanye was and why they kept talking about him.

"I never really did it until I got here and stores turned out to be an assault on every sense," Rey said. Again, apologetically.

"They can be a bit much, I guess," Ringo admitted.

She cocked her head slightly. "Have you tried shopping online, maybe? Though I guess that doesn't really help with getting out, does it?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't really need all that much," Rey admitted. "I make do with what I have, and as long as I can eat I'm pretty happy."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"I suppose that's a reasonable way of looking at things," Ringo admitted. "But then what do you do for fun?"

[thatwaslucky]

"I visit the junkyard, see what's there. I have a speeder bike. I read. I'm really not that exciting," she said again.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"The junkyard? I think I've been by there, but never inside. Is it interesting?"

[thatwaslucky]

"It can be. People seem to park their ships there sometimes, and there's plenty of scraps and parts for things. I have no idea where it all came from, but there's a lot to look through," Rey explained.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Scraps? Do you build a lot of things?" Ringo wasn't really a tinkerer, but she did maintain her own ATs, but she kind of understood the fun in that sort of thing.

"I fix things up sometimes," Rey said, and added, "I work at Stark's."

She felt like that might explain a little more.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Oh, hey, I've been in there. They look like they have some pretty neat stuff!"

[thatwaslucky]

"They do. And people bring in things to work on and fix, so I like keeping my skills sharp," Rey said.

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo nodded. "I can understand that. And if you stop practicing, you can get pretty dull pretty quick."

"What did you do back home, anyway?"

She'd never really asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"The same thing, in part. I'd find pieces from downed ships and sell them, or use them myself." She'd learned that 'scavenger' got her funny looks here.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"That sounds kinda neat. Is that, like, a family business or something?"

[thatwaslucky]

"No. It's just me," she said.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Oh." Ringo misunderstood Rey on that. "So what does your family do, if you're the only one to fix things up like that?"

[thatwaslucky]

"They're elsewhere," Rey answered. "I'd rather not get into it."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo blinked, surprised by that response, but shrugged. "Sure." She could change he subject.

"You said that you had a speeder bike? Did you build it out of parts you found, then?" And, also, what was a speeder bike? How was it different from a regular bike?
