i. one quarter portion. [ olympia ]
[ rey is a desert rat. she's used to near-starvation on almost a daily basis, used to having to forage and scavenge for what she could sell to feed herself, and yet having come to el nysa she's become complacent with the availability of food and drink.

...sort of. she's hoarded a bit of foodstuffs for herself and poe — not nearly enough for what they'd need for an extended period of food unavailability — but she knows well that she needs to secure more, and with that in mind she begins stalking some of the street vendors who used to sell their products but have stopped doing so. if they're storing extra somewhere that they're no longer selling, she's going to find it.

sure enough, her sleuthing efforts uncover a makeshift warehouse with stores of produce, dried meats and grains. someone might sneak up on her, though, while she's busy stocking her knapsack with whatever isn't nailed down, hungrily sampling some of it in the process. ]

b. this much green in the whole galaxy. [ exploring wyver. ]
[ this new city that they've been taken to, wyver, is remarkably lush and green. rey's never seen anything like it, and they're hardly past the relocation efforts before she's taking off to explore different areas.

she can be found in the new city built inside of the canyon, testing rickety little walkway bridges and even attempting to use some of the shops/structures to scale and climb the canyon walls with. the north end markets will be a draw, as will the vibrant, colorful western entertainment district. the south end, though, holds her fascination even more potently; there's a sort of gravitational draw she feels in the force from the shamans' temples, and she can be found peeking into them, as well as wandering into areas designated for ceremonial rituals and gatherings.

she'll also find the market in the old city strangely somewhat familiar, with its slums and dilapidated buildings and huts and hovels that people have built themselves out of old metal materials...and it might even make her a little nostalgic as she browses, for her rusted-out at-at on jakku. ]

c. wildcard.
[ feel free to find rey in a scenario of your choosing, either in olympia or wyver! ]

i. one quarter

[murphys_laws]

[scavenging and hoarding was second nature to john murphy; he didn't trust the abundance and supposed security that he was greeted with upon arriving in el nysa, so he had been hoarding a bit of food himself as well. but with everything happening across olympia and the rumours of evacuation abound, murphy knew that he needed to have just a bit more food if he was going to survive this in the long run.

happening to stumble upon the same warehouse that ray did, murphy didn't immediately notice that he had company until he rounded a corner and saw that there was someone else in here with the same idea that he had. she was currently crouched over some produce, stuffing things into a backpack, and murphy was immediately struck with an overwhelming wave of familiarity. she reminded him of someone, but he knew that it wasn't her.

he kept his voice down as he approached her, making sure to keep a safe amount of space between them so that this stranger didn't feel like she was being snuck up on.]

hey. you need some help there?

[[ooc: not sure if you want more than one scene per starter, so let me know and I'll wildcard it!]]

[ she startles at first upon his approach, but her concern dissipates when she realizes he's in the same situation she is — he's got his own supplies he's carrying in his hands, obviously gathering food as well.

in her former life she was used to cutthroat competition with those she knew on jakku — there was so little to grab, such meager opportunities to find and trade for food and water, and scavengers used to double-cross one another and lie and steal in the name of survival. but this place is different; despite the market vendors' strike there's plenty here for the taking, more than enough for a room full of people, and she nods at him somewhat gratefully for his offer of help. they can help one another, instead of work against one another. ]

I'm just taking what I need for myself and my — [ what is poe, exactly? ] — roommate, but you're welcome to whatever you can carry. Here —

[ she digs at the bottom of her knapsack and produces another bag roughly the same size as hers, handing it to him. ] This is yours, if you want it. You can carry a lot more that way, than just with your hands.
