[ The crew jumpsuit they gave him is tight with bright purple stripes running the length of it, when he's used to baggy plain grey. Wearing it he feels more like a podracer superstar than a former Imperial cargo pilot, which in turn makes him both slightly more confident and slightly more nervous, his body language all crossed legs and fidgeting. His dark eyes dart, nervous. ]

Listen. Listen. Hello, yes, listen, I need help.

[ He sounds a little urgent about it, voice dropped low. ]

Um, I've followed the instructions, and turned up to work, and I want to work, I do. It's the least I could do, I think.

[ He feels grateful enough to even be here that he's fallen immediately back into the old routine of following orders, and after the initial introduction and orientation was over his orders were to report for his first shift at the electronics store. So he's done that before even going to see if the directions to his ship held true. Before even seeing Cassian and Jyn. And that has... well, proven to be a mistake. ]

I've worked out how to send a message — assuming anyone actually sees this — but I don't really know how to fix them. Does anybody have any tips about using the technology here? It's just a little, um, different from what I'm used to. Okay. Thank you.

[ He seems a little sheepish about having to ask at all, grimacing to himself as he ends the transmission and signs off. ]

Jokes! Well, I mean, if you're looking for something else, maybe you can ask to be transferred here? Here being the um, "Star Fruit Store". Then we could help each other out.

[taggingwomprats]

I might. I think I'd do a hell of a lot better job working with tech, even if I have to learn on the job.

[ He sounds a touch rueful. ]

I'm not a comedian...

[ex_brainstorm70]

Maybe you said something funny in your interviews. But all right. All right. I'm still actually at work if you want to swing by and I'll introduce you to the woman who runs the place. Or, um, s'pose I should introduce myself first. I'm Bodhi, Bodhi Rook.

[taggingwomprats]

Maybe I did. [ Luke doesn't sound that happy about it, but he'll take it.

Besides, now they're doing introductions. ]

Oh, right - I'm Luke Skywalker. Nice to meet you!

[ex_brainstorm70]

Nice to meet you too, Luke. I hope you know I'm sort of counting on you to drop by so I'm not the only learner. [ He smiles mischievously. ] But no pressure or anything, eh.

[taggingwomprats]

No pressure.

[ There's a laugh in Luke's voice. ]

I'll see if I can stop by - where'd you say you were again?

[ex_brainstorm70]

"The Star Fruit Genius Bar".

[ Literally reading it off the sign. ]

Which is stupid, I mean. There's no alcohol. And I'm not that smart.

[taggingwomprats]

Star Fruit Genius Bar. Got it.

[ He'll remember that. ]

I can drop by in a bit, if you want. Not like I have a job to do right away.

[ex_brainstorm70]

That would be... yes, yes, that would be very welcome.

[taggingwomprats]

Great! I'll see you soon.

i have an open log would you like a starter? :3

[ex_brainstorm70]

Er, also, it's sort of a very big ship we're on so if you get lost just let me know and I can try and give you directions... maybe.

[ He doesn't sound very confident though. ]

i'd love one!

[taggingwomprats]

I've been in places a lot more confusing than this. Don't worry.

[ Let him tell you about wandering around an Imperial facility... ]

Well... if you say so...
