[Ren did a lot of pondering about the situation overnight. It's certainly strange; not terribly upsetting, but strange.
That's the case for himself and the general, but he has no doubt others might be slightly more alarmed, and he doesn't want those people storming into his house and demanding what he did and where Poe Dameron is.
The answer to those questions are: nothing, and standing in the corner of his living room, now apparently made of crystal. He intends to clarify that up front.]
FN-2187. [He will never be Finn, to Ren.]
You may be wondering where your pilot friend is—and before you get it in your head, no, I haven't done anything.
[He doesn't know if Dameron told the ex-trooper about where he was going or not when he came to visit his home. He apparently said something when he came to face Ren when he was possessed, so it's not out of the question. And if he did, Ren has even more reason to preemptively make certain he's not blamed.]
[Poe told him what he was doing. Taking a book over to Ren. Finn grumbled about it, but he's also getting over the idea that he can't stop the idiot pilot from checking in on the idiot Ren. It was fine. FINE. Ren seemed... over killing people. Or... something.]
[How much trouble can one person get into just taking a book over to Ren?]
Finn. It's FINN. How hard it is for you to remember a very short four letter name? Why is this so hard for you? I know you do it in spite but it makes you look ignorant and slow. What do you mean you haven't done anything? What happened?!
[That went from exasperated to mildly alarmed. Nothing GOOD happens when someone like REN says he hasn't done anything!]
[This is already a pain. Ren flat out doesn't care about whatever name the trooper has taken on, the hypocrite, so he simply moves on to the thing he intended to speak about in the first place.]
He won't be returning for... some time, I assume.
[Here, Finn. Have an image of your crystallized friend, a hand on his hip and the other hand pointing. He's got his mouth half open and a look on his face like he's mildly frustrated over something. I.e. the look most people have on their faces when talking to Ren.]
[So maybe he should start calling him by what ever the hell his real name is. Or make some shit up. Crylo sounds good, especially after that hospital room incident.]
What the hell are you talking about? What did you do?!
[You didn't think he'd skip that comment, did you? Clearly what ever happened is your fault. And then the image came in, and Finn is flabbergasted.]
How hard is it to deliver you a book!? How did you do that?! Is t hat some Fake-sith force crap? Are you kidding me right now?
[Distress level going up. Oh, and he's getting up to head over there. Sucks to be you.]
Are you that forgetful or just stupid? I already told you I didn't do anything. It just happened.
[Ren is basically sending through a live feed; Finn will see a gloved hand holding the welcome pamphlet gesturing at the pilot-statue.]
I can't turn someone to crystal, that's not how the Force works!
[... can he? No, no, let's move on. Probably better not to contemplate that possibility while having a mental conversation with someone he's trying to convince of the idea it's impossible.]
[Not forgetful! Not Stupid either. Just not TRUSTING of him. Not that he will say that at this moment.]
[He's already dragging shoes on and is half out the door. He even sounds rushed and moving]
I don't care if that's how you say the force works or not! Could you try and sound less like Han right now? This is serious! What the hell happened if you are oh so innocent?!
My best friend and room mate is standing stone in your home right now. In the middle of yelling at you. You have no right to tell me what to do right now!
[You better do something else because words aren't going to stop him right now. BRB OMW]
[Feelings or something like that, it doesn't matter.]
And the reason I care is because I don't want you anywhere near me or my house, traitor. I'm not letting you in so you can give up now or be disappointed and forcibly removed later.
Nothing what? Is that what happened? Did you get caught up in some shitty feeling and changed him?!
[There is a frustrated sound and he actually paused. A feeling of mild distress and anger mixed with an unease littered his words.]
That's not... --Thats...[He growled] That's my friend in there, Ren! What are you going to do with him? Just leave him standing in the center of your floor?!
No! I didn't care about what he was saying— [Aaauuugh.] Much less feel something strong enough to change him! I don't even think that's possible!
[... he wouldn't be that surprised if it were, but that's not the case here.]
I'll move him out of the way, of course, and keep him there until he... de... crystallizes. [That's a word now.] If I was going to harm him do you really think I'd contact you of all—don't answer that.
[This wasn't very well thought out.]
If you're that concerned about me doing something to him, you can send Rey to come physically inspect him, if you must. No harm will come to him as long as he's in this house.
You don't know if it's possible or not! We don't know what stupid powers we have here. Add in your damn force powers and you could have done anything!
And yes. Yes I do think you'd contact me. [Answering that] You're a psychopath! I bet you get your kicks by doing something like this and contacting someone over it. Like hell I'm telling Rey to go to your place, alone, and check on him! What do you take me for? An idiot?
No harm will come to him in your house? Except that he's already been harmed!
[Damn it! Why does this have to be so frustrating?!] You should be grateful I'm doing you the courtesy of even telling you! Dameron isn't hurt—he's fine as far as I can tell, just—different! [And for that matter—] Rey has already been here and I haven't done anything to her, either!
This was a terrible idea. I should never have even considered trying to be nice to you for once.
[He yelled back, startling someone on the street passing him by, making him lower his voice. The four lettered N word coming out of Ren's mouth also helped him try to chill out a bit. He took a breath.]
If you're trying to be nice then let me come see him for myself...
[another slow breath and...]
I promise... I'll stop accusing you and I wont try anything stupid.
And I'm telling you he's not in pain or—damaged at all! He's... suspended, he's fine!
[His hesitance and frustration come through; that's as best as he can describe it. He did his best to investigate with his abilities, and that's the conclusion his senses led him to.
There's a tense silence that follows that promise, loaded with suspicion and the barely-restrained desire to reject it and Finn immediately. He's not sure why he's even considering it at all. If it gets FN-2187 to stop yelling like an idiot... it might be worth it. Barely. Perhaps Rey would even be pleased with him for extending this sort of thing to the traitor she seems to care for... as much as Ren hates it.
The response that eventually comes through is short and reluctant, like he's already expecting Finn to break that promise. Ren doesn't trust him at all.]
If I hear one negative word out of your mouth I will throw you out before you can blink.
How do you know? Because he hasn't said he's in pain? Or are you just assuming? Who even knows he's alive enough to be... de-crystallized? [That? That was not in anger. That was more in... need to know. A desperate sound of wanting to believe him and not.]
[There is a deep sigh as Ren seems to break and let go. Finn is already moving again, but he sounds..... grateful?]
Got it. Best behavior. No negative words. I just... want to see him. I want to know how. Has anything like this ever happened before here? Do you know how insane this sounds?
I'm not assuming. Have you forgotten so soon that my specialty is reading minds? He is alive, I can still sense him. I would know if he wasn't.
[There's the feeling of a frustrated sigh here, but now that the shouting has stopped, he'll attempt to... reciprocate.]
It has happened before, according to this booklet from the welcome center. I know how it sounds. How do you think I felt when it happened in front of me?
You... you can get a sense off him in crystal? [Again, it's not accusing or pointed but this time but concerned and curious.]
How often does it happen? Does it say? That's... insane! How long does it last for? [Finn, slow down. He's not a data bank. He's running again though, on the move. He's also trying to contact Rey at this point.]
[He did pause, frowning.] Yeah, of course I do. Don't you keep track of where others from home live? [the a hmm...] Unless you're else where since all this Enforcer coverage stuff.
[Finn. Not a stalker. He swears. He just likes to know where the bad guys live just in case they do something bad.]
Yes I can, I don't know, and I already told you I don't know how long it will last. Weeks, perhaps.
[He can keep up, even if it's somewhat aggravating. He reads the pamphlet again just to make sure he didn't miss anything, but there's hardly more than two sentences about it.] This says it happens "a few times per year," whatever that means.
[Uh, wow, FN-2187. There's a bit of mental squinting as Ren responds to the idea that he's been keeping track of everyone.]
No. Why would I care where everyone else lives? [Then again, he can sort of sense where people are, generally. He has no reason to learn where they live when he can just talk to them over the amulets, anyway.
Grumble.]
I find it appalling that you've been looking into where I live without my knowledge, but if you know where my house is, that's where I am.
