I have arrived in a time of much uncertainty, but I wish to share with you a truth known among my people that has not yet spread throughout the Eluvio. Look to the Force, that which connects all life, and you will come to understand there is no need for fear for all is as the Force wills.

[ His speech is confident and firm, though it takes a more conversational tone when he continues. ]

I am Chirrut Îmwe, and I hope that, in trade, you will humor a blind man. I would like to hear the impressions others have of this place. What do you see? The races that live here, the structure of the ship? I would like to know it through your eyes.

May the Force be with you.

[Oh, no. Monk bullshit. What did Goku do to deserve this.]

The Force kinda sounds like a dick then.

[No resentment in his tone or anything, it just sounds dumb to him. Dumb monk bullshit. Sorry, Chirrut.]

The ship's got lotsa stuff. There's one room that's got trees and grass and a sky even though it's all inside!

[whillful]

[ Patiently amused: ] The Force is neither good nor evil, but it is one with all of us.

[ Did he just "the Force is rubber and you're glue" some kid? Damn right. ]

[rockthemonkey]

So it just hangs out with everyone? [Sounds kind of boring!] ... Are ya just talkin' about air or something?

[whillful]

More than air. Do the people of your world worship anything?

I have met those that believe in a god, or a holy text, or a sacred mountain from which they believe all life springs. All of these are a manifestation of the Force.

[rockthemonkey]

Oh, gods.

[Yup, he was right. Monk bullshit.]

I know about that stuff, sorta, but I dunno about worshipping them. Sanzo says worshipping anyone is pretty dumb.

["Among my people" huh?]

It seems as if the Force has beaten you to it. In some cases anyway.

[It's not a name or a voice he recognizes, though perhaps that's not terribly surprising in all that he's learned already of how these anomalies give as much regard to time as they do to space (which is none at all).]

But I haven't been around long; what about the ship do you want to know?

[whillful]

The Force has its way of making itself known. I can only follow. What stands out most strongly to you?

[ex_forcechoke292]

And what about when it doesn't want to be followed, but used?

[It has a way of speaking too, in the way he's come to know it. Not quite so literally, but the Force seems to eschew literal definition, even through the Order would prescribe an exact science to it. He sighs, shakes his head, and moves on.]

It's larger than most I'm used to. Bigger than a Republic Cruiser, probably; it's no wonder they need help.

[whillful]

[ He pauses thoughtfully before responding. Anakin might have been willing to move on, but Chirrut doubles back. ] One must first learn the discipline to determine when they are obeying the will of the Force, and when their own ego clouds its guidance.

[stop_apologizing]

Um, sir--

[Sticking with "sir" because there is no way she'll get his name right on the first go, and Colette would rather not embarrass herself trying yet]

What exactly is the Force?

[whillful]

There is no need for honorifics, girl. Call me Chirrut, and I will tell you of the Force. [ If you want him to never stop talking, his religion is clearly a safe bet. ] It is understood differently from one culture to the next, but the Force is what binds the all living things together

[stop_apologizing]

Oh- okay, sorry.

[Reflexive apology, she can't help herself. But aah, the next part is actually warming to hear. There's a smile in her voice]

Really? Mm, the Force reminds me a little of mana. That's what gives life to everything -- um, where I'm from.

[whillful]

It is known by many names. Where you are from is clearly not untouched by the Force whether you call it such or not.

[voice] un: hello

[unluckynumberseven]

Have you always been blind? Do you need help getting around?

[Have a sympathetic, young-sounding voice. Emil knows from experience how difficult it can be to get along without eyesight, and he's eager to help if he can.]

[whillful]

[ If it had been an adult, he might have had something to say that had an edge to it, but a youth... ] I have been blind for many years. I am able to get along without my sight.

But I would not turn away a companion as I learn my way through the ship.

[unluckynumberseven]

Of course! I'd be happy to!

[And there's the added benefit that a blind person might not be immediately freaked out by him.]

I just got here myself, but I know where to find the cafeteria, and the shops...

[whillful]

I would like that. Perhaps we will discover something new to you as well.

[ninponeil]

The Force kind of sounds like the saying "nothing happens by chance" or however the exact wording is.

[Her small smile is just as apparent in her fond tone.]

My master said that often.

[whillful]

Your master is wise to encourage you to look for meaning all that occurs. That "nothing happens by chance" is a manifestation of the Force.

[ninponeil]

Yeah, he's a pretty great teacher. You two would get along well I think, this Force stuff is right up his alley.

[A small bit of time while April debates whether or not to offer before finally:] If you ever wanted to really see the ship I might be able to help with that.

[whillful]

It sounds as if your master may have more than an interest in the Force. [ His speech is more careful now, as if he's taking his time in picking his words. ] And you as well.

[worldsaway]

The structure? Large. Metal. Shiny. Floating through space. Very confining.

[He doesn't sound particularly happy to be here.] There are races from all realms here. Many human, many from Earth.

[whillful]

Do they not accommodate your species here? [ There is some sympathy there. ] It does seem as if this ship is designed for humans.

[worldsaway]

My species is humanoid, fortunately. The differences are quite subtle out of battle. [He's pretty sure his father would roast him for saying that, but it's true.]

You say you're a man, are you human? Of Earth? You should not have a great difficulty adapting, though I cannot say for sure.

I know how to sign into the right account....

[whillful]

Human, but of the sacred moon Jedha. I have met many pilgrims of many worlds, but I don't believe I've ever heard of Earth.
