WHO: Weiss Schnee & Starkiller (b/c the numbers said it must be so)
WHEN: February 17th
WHERE: Outside to start
WHAT: Weiss is trying to figure out her life a little
RATING: IDK

______________

Weiss couldn't exactly call herself happy right now. She was meant to find herself a new calling, a job in this place, but what that meant, she didn't know. Trying to find herself in a new place seemed nearly impossible with her identity so tightly wrapped up in who she was back home. At first she'd just been a Schnee, then the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company - something that had meant so much to her because she was going to change the company, to make it better and bring her family a better reputation - and finally a huntress. None of those things mattered here. Not really. Not to these people. But it felt empty here. She knew she was supposed to find a new job, but there wasn't anything she felt she wanted to do. It all seemed so...disappointing.

She was low on Dust, low on anything even resembling home. At least she still had Myrtenaster. She could do simple glyphs without expending much by way of dust. It was simple enough. But anything serious would have required having back ups.

She sighed as she explored the town, left hand resting on Myrtenaster just in case she needed it. She'd have to find someone that was worth their weight in fencing to continue with training. At least someone that knew anything about fighting. Until then, she would have to force herself to find new and interesting ways of training without anyone else.

Part of her had considered the very real possibility of going to Octane for help, but the fact that he would take so much glee from the interaction was enough to keep Weiss from following through. He'd also probably try to accuse her of thinking he was cute again and she'd have to sigh as she put up with it because she'd have brought it entirely on herself. Still, she didn't think she'd never talk to him again. For one, he reminded her a little of people from home. Enough of Yang to make him worth the annoyance. Enough of Jaune to make her hate that homesickness would end in her spending any amount of time with him.

She decided, after a long moment of consideration, that what she really needed was coffee, so she was definitely going to get some and hope that she could even get any if she didn't have a job to do so.

Ugh.

There was so much that was a variable in life, that Galen wasn't entirely sure how he would consider it. Learning of the Force from his master previously, he understood that it was in everything and flowed through life and items all around. Bringing forward people and things that had to happen with little answer. As large as using it to maneuver a bolder off a beast of burden which later saves you. Same concept were to come with simpler things such as this small aspect.

Coffee. Coffee in it's standing alone had nothing to do with the Force, but Clint accidentally pouring two cups, and giving you a second cup of coffee would waving his hand off telling him to give it to someone else left a lot to be questioned.

Especially when you ran into someone almost literally who was a new face in town, walking into the same place you were just leaving. With the Force, Starkiller easily could sense simple desires for the dark caffeinated beverage and Galen having the second looked down, scowled softly before extending his arm out presenting the second cup to the girl.

"You're the new girl." Starkiller stated in a cold tone. "You're also coming for this." He stated as if it was fact. For all purpose, dressed as casually as he did - Galen watched the new person with harsh eyes sizing her capabilities but hearing Barbara in his ears all those times to be welcoming he opted instead of the normal harsh words he swapped to a simple.

"Are you finding the things you need?"

Nearly running into someone hadn't been something she'd meant to do. It reminded her of her first run in with Ruby. She was almost tired of being reminded of home when it was so far away from her. She frowned slightly, more at herself than at anything the boy in front of her had to say.

It was a moment before her mind caught up and she realized he'd spoken to her. "Yes. I'm Weiss." She wanted to ask how he knew she was coming for the coffee in his hand, but she was also just about to walk into the coffee shop. It wasn't so surprising. "I was coming for coffee," she agreed, eyeing the cup before taking it. "Are you sure this isn't for someone else?" Cause she didn't want to take someone else's coffee.

"I am...trying, I guess. I don't really know where to get everything, but I guess mostly once I figure out the building everyone talks about, I can maybe figure it out." But would she be able to get Dust? Would getting it mean stealing from her father? She would probably still do it.

"Oh. And thank you..." Because she realized she hadn't said it before.

Galen was stoic for a moment, examining the girl before him. She couldn't have been any older than him, though being armed with such a rudimentary weapon didn't leave much for defenses. His eyes were on the sheathed weapon as his own hand floated over the hilt of his lightsaber, but ultimately he wasn't concerned for her in a fashion of such. Just as he did with many - he would put her down quickly if it had come to it.

Finally his eyes landed on Weiss specifically. "The coffee was an error. Clint told me to give it to someone." He nudged his head at her. "You're someone. The Force obviously saw presented you to my path in such a manner." With that said Starkiller started walking away from her as if the conversation was done just like that, before he halted to look back to her. "C'mon. You wanted to see house." Without waiting, Galen continued towards the house with door.s

Once Weiss had caught up he didn't look to her. "I'm Sta-" He paused sighing. "I'm Galen." He stated firmly. Yes he was still Starkiller and the draw to his red lightsaber was always there - but he often tried to use the green one at his disposal. "The house is simple, and the doors are equally simple." He started to explain. "When you open a door, it brings you somewhere. You can't stay forever, but the worlds are different and the places are always different. While someone is through the door, others can go through the same door into the same world as you. Once everyone is out and the door is closed - it changes." He explained.

The boy in front of her was definitely different from her first encounter. She wasn't sure if she preferred it or not. It wasn't like there was a lot to do about it. He'd at least been nice enough to give her coffee. Even if it was only because someone else had made an error.

"The force?" Was that some secret magic thing that she hadn't been told about yet? And then he was walking away from her and she turned around, a hint of disbelief and confusion coloring her expression. But he seemed to decide to help her with the door. She wasn't sure if that was because he felt like he needed to or because he actually wanted to, but she followed after him.

Galen. It was a nice name, but she couldn't help but wonder what he'd been about to say before then. "Have people ever traveled back to the places they've come from before?" Mostly because she was curious about the possibility of being able to get more Dust. She'd need help, though. If she wanted enough to last her a while. "Does the door never go to the same place twice and how does it know where you need to go? Or is it just wherever the door wants you to go?" She knew the questions probably sounded annoying, but she needed to understand it if she was going to use it.

"The Force." Galen echoed. "It is an energy that connects everything in the galaxy. Here. There. Everywhere." To deliver a prime example he held his handout to his side while walking moved snow forming a snowball raising it up in the air to float. "It can be used in a number of ways, this just being one." Then with a wave of his hand, the snow fell to the ground crashing and he paid it no further attention.

While walking up to the house with doors, Galen stopped to consider all the annoying questions.

"I don't think it's brought anyone home." He responded. "But back to the same universes which were familiar - but no one was able to stay." Galen started walking again going into the house in question. "It just chooses where to send you. Luck of the draw." Galen explained as he opened a door revealing a cold and dim hall of a space ship before closing it. Going down two doors he opened one to let the pair peer in showing a darkened grocery store. Looking about, Galen made a thoughtful noise.

"Good opportunity." He whispered. "We should take advantage of it, and bring some stuff back." Galen stepped in leaving the door open while he started looking around. "It looks like a shop with plenty of food."

Weiss stared. She couldn't pretend it was anything else. It was definitely staring. She'd seen a lot of different semblances in her time, so maybe this was his...or, she reminded herself that different worlds meant different powers, this was just something entirely different. Energy that connected everything.

She listened to his answers, wondering idly if this meant she might be able to get to Atlas. It would be nice. But she didn't let herself linger on it for much longer. It wasn't like she'd be able to see her friends or anyone else. Chances were that something bad would happen if she got there anyway.

She peeked into the first door, curious about the unusualness of the craft. It wasn't like the Atlesian ships she was used to. But once the door was shut, she followed to the next door. "Do we even have money for groceries?" But she stepped in through the door anyway because she wasn't going to be left alone.

The stare wasn't uncommon from those who were truly unfamiliar with what he was speaking of. He remembered getting the same from Babs when he explained it, but she more understood as he showed with explanation. Still, to most it was just something that was not easy to understand. That was okay, they didn't need to.

Starkiller moved to the front of the store and looked about and grabbed a shopping cart. "Money?" He shook his head. "We do not." As if it were perfectly acceptable he moved on with the single cart towards a row of shelves. "Everyone has their own methods on how to acquire resources. Some do so through traditional means, some do things a little more underhanded." Galen shrugged. "You figure it out, but remember, if you don't you might starve - and remember most of the supplies in town has come from somewhere."

WIth his statement made, Galen made his down the first aisle gathering things that the two places that prepared food would use. Then he got instantly less picky about the groceries he started tossing into the cart utilizing the Force so he could sip on his coffee while doing it. "It's not a perfect system, but it's what it is. If they didn't want us taking it - do better to stop us." Not that he could be stopped.

They didn't have money. She took all of what he said into consideration. If she was going to have to survive this, she would have to use the logic she'd used when they stole the Atlesian ship: what other choice did they have? She sighed and apologized to the universe because she wasn't exactly sure how to play taking things cool. She'd at least be fine if this backfired and they had to fight their way out.

Grabbing her own cart, she followed after him, trying to find things that would last. There were some things she'd have to figure out as she went, but she hoped it wouldn't end in a near arrest. "I've stolen a ship before," she said after a moment. "Well, all of us did. But we had to. To get where we needed to go." And then they'd been arrested when they got there only to be unarrested, trained, and given their licenses. Only to then again be on the verge of arrest because of General Ironwood's fear and negative reactions to stupid things. She'd defend Yang and Blake till death. Ruby, too. They were her family. Telling Robyn hadn't been the wrong choice. Letting fear guide his actions had been General Ironwood's.

"So you guys regularly do this? And no one tries to stop you?"

Mostly, Galen didn't care. When the situation came to, he'd choose himself or even Leia every time. Starkiller didn't apologize to anyone about it. Though that could even have been the Sith training showing there. Galen did as he liked ninety percent of the time.

Seeing as Weiss picked up his notion and started helping, Galen paid little attention to her and what she grabbed still being focused on his own tasks. "That's nice." Galen said unimpressed by her proclaimed notion of theft. "I cut down droves of storm troopers just because my master told me." Glancing over his shoulder at her as he waved his hand holding the coffee cup as more items were pushed into his cart from the shelves. "Don't confuse my telling you these things as anything further than friendly education." Galen said. "Talk to me in a month or so, when you're not suddenly gone again. People disappear just as fast as they appear here - you could be gone tomorrow." His coffee being finished he set it on a shelf leaving it behind as he continued down the snack aisle.

"We do." Galen said picking up a box of Twinkies. Processed, and delicious. Cracking open the box he took out a golden treat before tossing it to Weiss before retrieving one for himself. Tearing the wrapper he gathered more snacks and tossing them into the cart while snacking. "Everyone has their ways on procuring supplies." Galen commented. "Klaus for example is very creative where Nyx has a pile of gold coins that he sells to a pawn broker for whatever world he's in currency. Once having that he buys what he needs." Looking to Weiss he smirked. "I just take what I want." Then he stuffed the remaining of the Twinkie in his mouth.

His words made her frown. She'd just come from a similar situation. People ordered to take them down, to arrest them. "There's a lot of that going around, it seems." Her tone sounded unenthusiastic and tired at the same time. "You'd fit in at Atlas." Which wasn't a compliment to say the least. She sipped her coffee, wishing she was back with her Team or at least that they were here. Even if it wasn't the right thing to wish for.

"It'd be nice if I was gone tomorrow, but I doubt I'll be that lucky. There's kind of a whole war to fight and I'm stuck here." And all she wanted was to be back there. Even if it meant dying. Not because she wanted to die, but at least if she did, she could die knowing she'd done the right thing.

She was beginning to think that Nyx had the right idea, but she didn't exactly have anything except her jewelry to sell and she didn't really want to sell it. So she'd have to deal with the concept of stealing and forgive herself for it later.

Stopping, Galen leaned on his cart. "Do you feel put out, Weiss?" He asked, not actually wanting an answer. "Here is your reality," He gestured with his hand. "This is it. Regardless if you like it or not, want it or not, ready for it or not." Galen was annoyed, but that was par for the course. He was just easily annoyed. "This is just the reality of the situation and you just have to make what you can with it. We all come from somewhere being in the middle of something." He pointed at her. "That master of mine, also is the one who stabbed me in my back," He lifted his shirt to reveal the opposite side of the scarred over wound from the lightsaber going clear through him. "And then jettisoned me into space. Cold, dark, space." He said. "Some of us are here because they're dead - and some of us are brought here amidst a war."

Growling annoyed he turned from her. "So yes. You may be gone tomorrow, but who says you're going back to where you came from." He snapped. "Some of us have lost people here because they just suddenly vanished one day." Which was too many for Galen. Barbara especially hurt.

"Now if you're just going to whine about it, go back through the door, if not get supplies and do your part." For being so selfish, he was surprisingly pro-Starklandia.

Weiss flinched without meaning to, peering down at her cart. She grew quiet after a moment, not entirely sure what else to do. She had half a mind to leave and never look back. She closed her eyes, focusing on the feeling of breathing because she wasn't in Atlas in her home and she had been through too much already.

"I'm sorry." She wasn't sorry for wanting to go home or wanting to get back to what she needed to do. She wasn't ever going to be sorry for that. She didn't share more about what was happening back home. Not about General Ironwood deciding to arrest them or the Ace Operatives falling into line and fighting them all despite the order being bullshit. Nothing was stable or okay and they weren't going to be okay going forward.

"I don't want your apology. For someone who seems to be in conflict and combat - you're awfully short sighted." Starkiller stated. "We all want to go home and people are trying to find a way - but sobbing about it or a pity party does no one any good all the way around." Staring at the shelves he paid no attention to Weiss in the immediate. "If my future is what I saw - I'm supposed to the catalyst of a rebellion against a tyrannical empire." Looking over. "You think I can do that here?" Again he gestured to the grocery store. "Point being, I have to make do with what I have and I can. I have to move forward anyway for the day I may return."

Taking boxes off the shelves he looked more snack items as if he was trying to decide if he should go with one or the other, but ultimately grabbed a bunch and tossing them into the cart.

Bracing a hand on his cart he looked to her. "What will it be, Weiss? Pity or action?" He questioned. "Because no one here faults your want to go home, but you wont find any pity amidst people who have been her as long as they have and lost people in a snap."

She knew what she had to do back home. It was just the fact that there was nothing if they didn't have the Maidens and the rest of it. They couldn't kill Salem. But they had to figure out a way to stop her. Somehow.

She wanted to argue that she wasn't sobbing or throwing a pity party. She was just expressing herself. But she was tired and annoyed and none of this was going to help her. She considered that her next adventure would definitely not be with Galen. But she'd deal with that later.

She didn't reply to his question, instead choosing to put more food in her cart. She had questions and things to say, but she'd rather talk to someone else. And once she was done, she would practice with her rapier and leave her feelings to that.

Galen watched the woman for a moment, but ultimately shrugged. There wasn't any true desire to reconcile their debate - mostly out of disregard or care. Galen wasn't entirely sure if the girl was going to be around any longer than the rest.

Returning to his task at hand and loading the cart with as much essentials as he could he ultimately turned towards Weiss and nudged. "Lets go. I'll introduce you to Peter and Clint." He started with his cart where they had come in from. "Bringing in this load of stuff should keep people going for some time in comforts."

Regardless if she followed, he was done - and heading to see Peter. Being a new fan of pizza, he knew that if he wanted more that he should help keep the man in ingredients.
