You can just call me 'Cal'. The rest is pretty superfluous.

[He kind of brushes past that.]

So how did you end up here?

[eyesights]

Mm. Well, call me Nikola.

[Well, if nothing else, Nikola has to acknowledge to herself that this Cal doesn't seem to be a bad guy.

Another few obvious points are that she's not in a Dusk Zone and definitely nowhere on Earth, but it didn't seem beneficial to point that out right away. She opts to try and answer his question as she scratches her cheek.]

I... Uh... I walked.

[It's not a lie!]

I'm an explorer of sorts, but sometimes if I'm not careful, I tend to wander off into corners I'm not familiar with.

[uglyponcho]

It, uh....Nikola...

[He hates to point out the obvious but he's going to do it. He's absolutely going to do it.]

...it doesn't take a Jedi to know you didn't walk here. There's no civilization left on this planet.

[eyesights]

[She looks displeased, even more so.]

I'm not lying. You calling me a liar?

[and Jedi what now, how about we get back to that later although that does kind of ring a bell for her

that said, she's crossing her arms and looking huffy]

[uglyponcho]

Not at all. I'm just saying that you're probably ignorant of the situation.

[Which was probably just as bad. But far less confrontational.]

[eyesights]

[She sighs and uncrosses her arms.]

Fine. I mean, let's just say neither of us are wrong... Cause I really don't know where I am...

[She looks back and forth again... It's a really interesting place and she could worry about finding her way back later. She takes out her smartphone and waves it at Cal.]

You said there's no civilization here right? Think it's okay to take pictures while we walk and talk?

[uglyponcho]

I won't mind but be careful of the wildlife.

[They can be aggressive. Between burrowing lizards the size of dogs and large tick looking creatures, who knew.]

But, since you don't know, this place is called Bogano.

[eyesights]

That so... [She mumbles to herself as she turns her phone on, switching to the camera app.] Don't remember that from the movies.

I hope you're not too troubled by seeing a human face here since this place isn't supposed to have anyone on here. Thanks for not making a big deal by the way.

[And she's already starting off in one direction.]

[uglyponcho]

Troubled, no. Surprised, mostly.

[He might as well lay it out.

And follow after her. She didn't seem prepared for random animals who wanted to eat anything that walked by.]

What kind of reaction were you expecting?

[eyesights]

[Sometimes, Nikola's sense of fear is low, which is a cause for concern... But enough about that.]

Maybe some loud and indignant questioning. Like, "Who the hell are you?" or, "Where the hell did you come from?"

Click!

[She snaps a few scenic pictures of the sky.>]

To be fair, I'm also not treating this like a big deal as I should...

[uglyponcho]

That's not really the Jedi way.

[Overreacting, that is. Which, from what he could tell, her description was exactly that.]

I suppose both of us are a bit more level than each of us think.

[It was an observation, at least.]

[eyesights]

I'm not really levelheaded. If anything, I'm probably screaming internally and you wouldn't even know it.

[She sounds so deadpan though.]

[uglyponcho]

Not to destroy your ambitions but if you were internally screaming, I could probably hear it in the Force.

[Being a Jedi and all. Though he's not trying to destroy anyone's sense of privacy.]

[eyesights]

Oh shit. You can really do that?

[Yes, he's a Jedi, Niko...]

So if I was singing a song in my head, could you hear it too?

[uglyponcho]

That's not really how it works. Extreme emotions I can feel. Anything else is way out of my reach.

[No harm in being honest about it.]

[eyesights]

Ah. Well, I can't say I'm a person of extreme emotions so you're probably gonna have a hard time reading me either way.

[She nimbly makes her way over a ledge so she can kneel down on the other side and take some pictures of the plants.]

Hm. Guess grass is just grass even in another galaxy.

[uglyponcho]

[Though out of a grass clump, a group of lizard looking creatures come scampering out, mostly to run away. They didn't seem like anything to fear, though.]

Careful. Sometimes there's aggressive creatures out there.

[eyesights]

Guh!

[She jumps again, mostly surprised by the double set of eyes on the lizard creatures.]

The heck? What do they need that many eyes for?!

[She takes a picture of them anyways, geez]

[uglyponcho]

Beats me. I'm not a wildlife expert.

[He just dabbles in archaeology.]

Maybe you could look into that.

[eyesights]

I mean, I could... But I also think I should look for a way home. Somehow.

Any idea where I could get started? Being on a planet that doesn't have an actual civilization anymore doesn't seem like a good place to begin, but it's what I got apparently.

[uglyponcho]

There's a vault here on this planet. An ancient civilization used to use the place so if there was something available, it'd be there. Though it can be a bit difficult to get to. You have any kind of skills in getting around?

[eyesights]

[Opens mouth...

Closes mouth.]

... I can do some hand to hand combat? And I can run. Fast. Sort of.

[uglyponcho]

This might seem really specific but can you run on walls for a really short period of time?

[Look, it was the only way there.]
