Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had been out for the last couple days, and she would have forgone the warehouse today except she was in the area and just wanted to check in while she was here.

And who would have ever thought that Anakin working on this place this week would mean it was an actual nightmare today. The course itself, extremely hard on a good day, now kind of looked like something one should only try if they were trying to get their family the insurance money without looking like they were trying to get their family the insurance money.

Also why was there a boulder? Why?


[Open!]

Never mind the boulder, Rey. Why was Dean being chased by burnt French fry remnants?

"Just. Get. Away!" Dean was shouting as he tried to kick the mass of charcoal and french fries away.

Ugh. Not working. He started heading towards the door of the warehouse.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey could sense that someone in trouble was coming, so she ran to the door to open it. Not that in here was much safer.

Also mind the giant pit of creepy-looking quicksand right the hell when you walked in, Dean.

[single_man_tear]

Dean was not expecting the door to open or for there to be quicksand. No.

Why would anyone expect quicksand in a warehouse?

So, naturally Dean fell straight into the quicksand and began sinking.

"Son of a bitch!"

[thatwaslucky]

"I've got you," Rey said, offering a hand while holding onto the doorway with the other.

[single_man_tear]

Dean took the hand and started to pull himself out. "Is this quicksand?" He asked. "Who puts quicksand in a warehouse?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Master Skywalker," she explained, waiting until he was fully out to let go. "I'll also need you to avoid the lava."

[single_man_tear]

"Skywalker?"

Damn. Maybe Atton was right.

"Lava?" Dean turned around as he pulled himself out and looked at the room. "Who would put lava in a-"

He paused. "Actually that might be useful with all the French fries chasing me."

Context? Who needs it.

[thatwaslucky]

Atton was biased. Fight her.

"It's for training, it's fine. French fries?"

[single_man_tear]

Fine! Context.

"I made some french fry dishes earlier this week. Then they came to life and started crawling around the kitchen. I thought burning them was enough but now they are coming after me," Dean explained, pointing at the door. "Shooting them didn't work. Stabbing didn't work. I would have blasted them but I left it in the trunk of my car."

He looked around the room again. "This is the weirdest obstacle course I've ever seen."

[thatwaslucky]

"I've got a lightsaber and lava. We can handle this," she assured him.

Rey looked around and said, "It doesn't normally look like this. It's difficult, but this is... different. Seriously, why is there a boulder?"

[single_man_tear]

"Look, I wasn't going to say anything about the boulder," Dean said shaking his head. "Clearly the quicksand and the lava grabbed my attention."

...

"Did you say lightsaber?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Yeah. Why?" she asked.

[single_man_tear]

Was Dean pouting a little? Maybe.

"Nothing. Just... Where would I find one of those?"

Yes, there are monster fries out side the door but there are such a thing as priorities.

Look, they're really cool, okay?

[thatwaslucky]

"You pretty much. Jedi make them as part of a rite of passage to actually becoming a Jedi. And the crystals are so hard to find."

Due to the planet most of them came from being mined to make a kyber-powered planet-destroying super weapon, of course.

[single_man_tear]

Oh, sure. Bring up the planet destroying super weapon.

"Just seems like everyone else on the island has one," Dean mumbled before shaking it off. "Okay. I got to focus. So. Demon french fries outside the door. Lava. Can you do that-"

Dean did a finger wiggles. "-thing like you did with the coffee cup? Or do you want to use your cool laser sword?"

[thatwaslucky]

Sabine might have some explaining to do, oops.

"Lava's easier, depending on the number of..." Sigh. "Fries."

[single_man_tear]

"Did I mention there were toppings?" Dean asked, his voice just going a bit high.

[thatwaslucky]

"Dean!" How could you!

[single_man_tear]

"Do not judge me. Nachos on fries are delicious. As is chili. And poutine."

...

"The clam chowder was a mistake."

[thatwaslucky]

Rey raised her eyebrows. "Is clam chowder following you?"

[single_man_tear]

"Burned clam chowder," Dean clarified.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey unclipped her lightsaber from her belt and rubbed her temple with the other.

"This is the dumbest day."

[single_man_tear]

"There were dragons in the park yesterday," Dean pointed out as he started toward the door. "I think fries with toppings are definitely less bad than that."

[thatwaslucky]

"Yeah, but you expect to fight a dragon."

Did you, Rey? Did you?

[single_man_tear]

"Well, normally they go after virgins," Dean said, knowledgeably. "So after the whole pollen thing the island's probably safe for a bit."

With the exclusion of Rand. And Dean was not having that conversation with Atton. But assumptions were made after radio. Big assumptions.

And with that he opened the door and a stream of burnt fries and toppings began to crawl through the door.

"Right. I forgot the chicken bacon ranch."
