GRACE, DIEGO, LYRA

I'm meeting Romy's family tomorrow for Easter.

ROMY

Does your mom have a favorite flower? I know her name is Iris, but I also know that people with flower names don't always like the flower they're named for so. [...] Also, should I bring anything? A dish to contribute?

Scientists revealed today the first photo taken of a black hole, changing the setting and landscape of science fiction forever. :)

The neat thing about this project is that scientists linked observatories across the world, amassing their power and sharing data as they all focused on this specific project. I might not be that scientist yet but I'm proud of them. This photo is the first step to fully realizing the enormity of the space-time continuum.

GRACE & DIEGO

Not to jinx anything, but I think I've gone on two successful dates in a row.

ROMY - added later

Hey, you. If my friends wanted to invite you over for dinner and a game, would you be up for that?

WHO: Diego & Grace Rojas
WHEN: Within the last 2 weeks
WHERE: Their bedroom
SUMMARY: Grace and Diego talk about some elements of family planning :D
WARNINGS: *~scissors emoji~*

( We can start to get comfortable. )

FRIENDS

Just because I understand how Dunhaven works, I wanted you to hear the following from me. Yes, I went to the ER last night. No, it wasn't anything too serious. Yes, I had to get stitches. Yes, I'm back at work. No, I'm not overexerting myself or whatever.

Now you're up to date.

This will be my last semester in school ... soon, I'll have a degree in Physics and Astronomy. I may even get my late nights back? And for that reason I have to ask you if you have any good television or books I should put on my list. It won't happen until May at the very latest but I work under the idea that there is no time like the present.

[ROGUE ONE FAM & FAM OF DUNHAVEN]

It has been absolutely too long since you have eaten dinner at my house. This Friday night I expect each and every one of you there. Bring a hungry belly and a good story to tell me. I should say please but I'm not going to say please.

When I am in school, I feel cut off from you and from Jyn and the way to lure myself back to encountering you is with food. (Of course.)

( TW: attempted mugging )

dreaming about dying is no easier when you knew it was coming.

PARENTS + CHARLIE

Hey. I figured this was the easiest place to let you guys know that Charlie and I decided that we're not going to move in together after all. Nothing changed between us and we're as good as ever, but I wanted to be transparent with you guys and let you know. That's all.

[...] And I'm sorry for how I was acting. It wasn't cool of me. I love you guys.

GRACE ROJAS:

I'm stopping to pick up ice cream on my way home tonight. Any requests for dinner? Should we order in?

MATEO ROJAS:

I think we need a night to ourselves. Or maybe us and your nieces? Or just you and the nieces if you're feeling up to it.

But also just us.

PARENTS

Hey. Charlie asked me to move into her house.

In just over a week, I will be thirty eight. I have over ten years on what the man in my dreams ever had, and not a day goes by where I don't think about that. He deserved better. He deserved more.

STAR WARS:

They're making a series about him. Did you see?

WHO: Grace Rojas
WHEN: Halloween night
WHERE: The Rojas house
SUMMARY: The girls get tired early, so Grace decides to hand out candy through the rest of trick-or-treat. She gets some unexpected company.
WARNINGS: N/A

( I really like your costume. )

I bet you all were thinking, "Oh, good. Charlie is going to stop asking random questions about our dream lives because it's an uncomfortable and awkward topic most of the time." HA HA. No, not quite. I'm too curious for my own good and I think, eventually, all of this information will be of use to us. So here's the next topic for discussion for all you second-life dreamers out there!

What is the best part about your dream life? What is the worst?

You can answer anonymously, or not. Totally up to you.

[FINN, GRACE, DIEGO]

Hello all! Great news for you on a Thursday. The adoption papers are finalized, barring the final signatures of all relevant parties. You've always been one of us, Finn. Now we just made it legal.

I await your pleasure at the courthouse. ;)

My advice? Sign them and then have a family supper. Hell, sign them again in front of everybody. Get everyone involved. This is reason to celebrate.

FRIENDS & FAM

So I have three ties. Do I wear the blue one, the red stripey one, or the grey one?

I also need one of you to tie it for me. Or teach me how to tie it. They were always already tied before, but I was an idiot and untied them during prom prep. I looked at Youtube and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to recreate any of this. So, yeah. Just throwing that out there.

I'm nervous about this. I shouldn't be nervous, right? I mean, it's not like

FRIENDS & FAMILY:

I'm cooking tonight. Tacos, since it's national taco day. Real tacos.

BYOB, and Charlie, Finn, if you want to bring any friends from school, go ahead.

It's been a month and my assessment of college is that there's a lot of reading.

CHARLIE

You should let me take you out on a date. A nice one.

PARENTS

So these dream lives.

Do you think we're different enough from those people and their lives or are we prone to making the same decisions and mistakes as them? I don't mean the big ones that are tied to that world, you know the ones. I mean little things, like personality quirks and flaws.

Because Han and Leia It's just been on my mind and you guys are wise grown ups and all that, so I figured I'd get your take.

To all of you who are working hard and keeping up your families, your full time jobs and chasing what you want to be ... I see you. Even through the homework and laundry haze. You're doing good. Keep working. You can get it done, okay? I believe in you.

[FINN + DIEGO]

You know what you haven't mentioned to us, Finn? Family weekend at the University. I want to embarrass you in front of all your new friends.

[CHARLIE]

I wanted to see how your first semester is going. Everything shaking out like you wanted?

[MEDHI]

Hey, you.

[STAR WARS FAM]

Long time no talk. Anybody new join our ranks lately? How about a get together?

[DIEGO]

I'm going to embrace this other self. Mostly.
