❝ i don’t know what i’m doing. ❞

‘  don’t worry about it  ‘   he smiles reassuringly .  they’re both waiting for the recording to begin ,, the script still feels as heavy in his hands as it had done the first time —when they had pulled him out of combat  &&  put him here to do  over-glorified commercials  .  he’s done this too many times that it has become second nature to him ,,  but he understands if she’s nervous (   he was too .  once .   ) .  ‘  what’s your name ?  ‘ he asks  ,,   knowing that the distraction of conversation used to make it easier for him .

❝ if there isn’t some kinda life after death, i’m gonna be so fuckin’ pissed. ❞ [Give me any boy nom]

‘  you ‘nd me both buddy  ‘   lew was chewing his way through a soaking wet army ration that reminded him too much of his grandfather’s old socks from before the turn of the century —-except those socks would have been   more   appealing .   when lew signed up he hadn’t imagined   this  ,,  sitting in a dark wet hole eating rations intended for soldiers in the last war . (  undoubtedly very few imagined this when they signed up  )  it wasn’t exactly the  glory parade  that had been advertised ,,  but at least he was alive to eat his piece of wet cardboard in moderate tranquility (  for the moment  ) .   ‘  they better have good food too .  ‘  he mutters the words as he smacks the rock solid ration against his knee —-all while trying to convince himself that it is safe to eat  (  that is  ,,  once you  can  eat it  ) .  the second after he says it his brows draw together to form a look of perplexity .   ‘  do you even need food in the afterlife ?  ‘

@hctchered liked for a starter

‘  hey doc  ‘  his voice barely held up as he nudged the other at his bedside with his foot .  he was  exhausted  but the ache in his bones didn’t allow him to sleep .  his body was caught in a  frozen hellfire  that caused it both to shiver  &&  burn up all at once .  ‘  how can i be so cold i feel like my shaking’s gonna cause an earthquake but sweatin’ like i just jumped in the god damned pacific ocean ?  ‘  his voice  tremors  as he speaks ,, the clatter of his teeth punctuate each word .

JYN: 

       THE VEHICLE COMES TO A SCREECHING HALT . shackled wrists clink together as she’s jostled by the sudden loss of movement , eyes alert and muscles in her legs WINDING UP , a tingle in her fingers readying her bones for a FIGHT . ‘  why did we stop  ?  ‘ a familiar voice speaks in a hushed voice , capturing her attention and momentarily calming the ERRATIC beating of her heart .

         ’  I DON’T KNOW  ‘  SHE REPLIES ,  too quietly to be heard but she knows he doesn’t need to hear her to understand her words . in the back the guards talk between themselves , one getting to their feet just in time to get blasted to the ground as the back door SHATTERS . instinct KICKS IN , violently jerking her frame as shoulders square FIRMLY beneath the fabric of her clothing , fists clenching as wrists struggle beneath her bounds . the men boarding call her name – HER ALIAS , eyes flicker to meet runner’s from where he’s seated in the opposite end of the transport as the STRANGER comes up to her — and frees her from the weights clamped around her wrists . a moment passes , his guard is down and she POUNCES , clenched fist colliding with his throat and sending him CRASHING to the floor as her other hand reaches out , grabs the key card , and tosses it over her shoulder - trusting runner to catch it as she roughly yanks a baton from the INDISPOSED stormtrooper laying in her way , swinging it with TRAINED efficiency to clear her way - DETERMINED eyes focused on the LIGHT beckoning her from where shattered pieces of a thick durasteel door hangs off of it’s hinges .

       SPRINGING FROM THE LEDGE , she gets one deep breath of FREEDOM - cold air filling her lungs before it is allRUSHED out of her at once as her back COLLIDES with the ground , dust flying into the air and clouding her vision - digging into her throat all the way down  into  her  lungs  .  ABOVE  HER  STANDS  AN  IMPERIAL DROID , and her heart LEAPS with fear and adrenaline , ( ANGER ). distrust seeps into battle - ready temper as it declares it’s purpose - underlying DEMAND for her cooperation .

THIS WAS A MESS .  runner sat at the furthest end of the truck, directly opposite jyn .   he had been giving her the scornful silent treatment for about a day now but it was backfiring ---- not chewing her out for getting them into this mess just made him angrier and seem to suit her just fine .   he was just about to unleash the pent up lecture when the vehicle abruptly hit the breaks ,, pushing his words back down his throat .   he looks immediately to jyn ,, the lecture forgotten and archived til when they get out of this mess .   naturally she doesn’t have a clue what’s going on ----  but hearing her speak without tremor at least offers insurance that she’s prepared for anything .   the blast shook the vehicle violently ---- sending runner’s frame into the side of the wall beside him .   the impact wasn’t enough to incapacitate him but it would bruise .   the sound of jyns alias being called out pushed through and stood out in the confusion of   too many things   happening all at once .  he pushed violently against his restraints as whoever seeks  jyn  comes closer  -  he really regrets the petty threats that lead to his additional restraints across chest and arms   (  but their faces had been worth it .   at the time   ) .  he manages to push himself slightly of the seat of his holding - but the stranger now standing before jyn is still far from his reach .  he can hear the loud clatter as her shackles hit the metal floor and runner lets out a strangled chuckle .   ‘  well i’ll be fucking damned that was stupid  ‘  who honestly lets someone   out   of their shackles without identifying themselves if they  DON’T want to get pounced ?   it’s an open invitation, really . 

as jyn lifts off the seat and attacks ,, runner pushes himself as far as his restraints grants him and - with the credit of legs longer than purely necessary, aids his friend by giving the stranger a booted foot to the hollow of his knee. by the force of jyns blow and the less than gentle boot at the back of his knee ,,  the stranger came crashing down .   as quick as ever jyn is already on the move ,,  and runner just barely catches a glance of the key card before he has to push entire body to an angle in order to catch it in one of his restrained hands.   ‘  yea ,, thanks there buddy --- be with ya in a second !!  ‘ runner works the card at the locks as fast as he can manage ,,  but before he’s done he sees jyn being knocked out of the air . 

  ‘  DAMNIT  JYN  ‘  he shrieks as he yanks the remaining restraints off in a violent push out of his seat .  the heavy shackles remain on his wrists as he tries to unlock them  and  charge to jyns aid all at once --- but when he gets to the edge of the truck the cuffs were still clasped around his wrists. runner leaped onto the sturdy cold surface of the droid’s back --- holding himself in place by wrapping the chain of his shackles around the neck of the droid.  ‘  MAYBE A LITTLE HELP HERE BUDDY ?  ‘  he shouts with great effort as he violently pulls the chain as reins, moderately efficiently pulling the resisting droid backwards .   this was about as much of a plan as he had ...  strangle a droid .  damn this was a mess .

It is a garden of Eden. The jungle holds both beauty and terror in its depths, most terrible of which is man. We have met the enemy and have learned nothing more about him. I have, however, learned some things about myself.
