NPC Invasion - day 5
I guess I have a key now.

[Room 504]

Sorry if I startled anyone this morning. I made some coffee to make-up for it.

I'll try to think improv and just go with it.

I'm pretty sure they were all fosters or strays, and it's a farm- so there is space, but it wouldn't be great here. But Pilot, good to know.

Does the droid have a name? Is that a dumb question? Do you name droids?

Wuthering Heights? Gothic novel? Kate Bush song? Never mind, it's a reference to a fictional character from classic literature where I come from. Dark and handsome and broody is the general vibe.

That's a theater term?

Pilot was a rescue. Back in Texas, I had a Ranch I sort of inherited so he had a ton of space. I still don't think I could have managed more than just him. Where was this farm of yours?

Yes. BB-8. All droids have designations.

My Earth culture knowledge is fairly decent but I admit to not being terribly exposed when it comes to novels. Still, all those descriptors fit perfectly.

Yeah, it's -- improv is when you get thrown a scenario with two or three other people on stage, typically, and then there's no scripted lines, you just riff on the idea, and hopefully come up with something fun and amusing to the audience.

You're from Texas? Except - okay, I'm assuming not originally because droid. At least the Texas I know doesn't have robots. [...] I don't think? I've never actually been to Texas. The farm isn't mine - it's my [...] wife's family has a farm in King County, just outside of Seattle, Washington. I grew up in the Seattle area and am still a little more comfortable in the city than the farm, but I'm working on that - or I was.

BB-8, alright. If it's friendly I'm guessing we'll get along alright.

There's a song that Kate Bush sings, and I think I have that on my laptop. It sort of summarizes the Drama™ of the whole thing very nicely - I can play it for you later if you want.

Ah. Yeah, that's a good strategy to move forward with, I think.

Texas is where I call 'home.' There's a few droids in my area of Texas but they are all transplants like Beebee and I. We're not natives to Earth. I've only been to Seattle once, a long time ago, but it was a nice city. I think I prefer the accessibility of cities more but I did enjoy my ranch spot.

Beebee likes most people.

Yes please. I don't think I've listened to any of her. And I'm desperately missing Spotify. I've got my iPod but it's only got what I already had. Spotify was useful for any new artists people would expose me to.

The accessibility of cities is what I love about them. I have a car, but I don't use it most of the timebecause I don't need to - which is really nice.

Where are you native from?

Oh god, there are so many playlists I already miss from Spotify and I know it's just going to be worse when I have time to actually listen, but fortunately I've always had a significant amount of music on my laptop and I've got that with me, so hey - maybe I can get you some new stuff. What do you like generally?

Those of us without teleportation abilities had to use cars to get around in Texas. I had a beat up old truck that used to be Poe's and a speeder bike. I usually opted for the bike. Chicago had decent public transit that I wish was more of an option in Texas.

A planet called Jakku.

I'll never not be grateful for the fact I had my iPod on me. A lot of people come with far less. And it varies but my favorite band I've discovered is Imagine Dragons.

There are people here with teleportation abilities? My wife, has a truck, she always makes fun of my car - it's a little convertible, but hey, it's super easy to parallel park, and her huge honking truck isn't, so it's practical for the farm, mine's practical for the city. I guess we can pretty much walk to everywhere there is to walk here.

I've never heard of it... What's it like?

I don't know if I have any Imagine Dragons or not, but I probably have some stuff you would like then, we should do a shuffle listen sometime.
