Anoat- Friday sometime after classes

[thatwaslucky]

It was a lovely day on this… uh, planet covered in actual trash. Honestly, it wasn't so bad. Sure, you needed a rebreather to go outside due to the toxic air, which was good because it also kept you from smelling all the literal garbage covering the ground's surface. Somewhere under all that trash was also a monstrous pit beast that could eat you whole, but it probably wouldn't make an appearance today. (Probably.)

But for the most part, they had more pressing things to worry about. There was a series of giant interconnected domed tents which served as the Resistance base. There was war room, filled with massive screens and equipment most of you probably didn't know how to work, where the power had largely been cut to most of it to dismantle them for travel. There was storage for things like supplies, food and weaponry. A few people had living quarters here, and there was a decent kitchen for that sort of setup.

And all of that had to be packed up and moved onto either the Falcon of the other transport ship. ASAP. By the few Resistance members working here, and the lovely volunteers from Fandom.

Welcome to the glamorous Resistance!


[For those on the trip!]

Rey was tense. She probably didn't need to be. They had time, she knew that, but the urgency of the situation was getting to her a little, and she'd been very clear that every single thing had to go or be trashed. So she was doing what she could, taking apart some of the controls in the war room, or helping when she was called to help with heavy lifting.

In a time crunch she wasn't going to complain about being used to Force lift a bunch of stuff when asked. It was basically a sort of training.

[long_memory]

"How are you holding up?" Silver asked. He couldn't really blame her for being tense. It was a pretty stressful situation.

[shesroyalty]

Leia honestly probably could have just directed things and no one would have said anything, but that wasn't her style. She still wasn't up to a lot of the big stuff, but she was perfectly fine doing things like getting weapons and ammunition crated up to go.

It was also a really good way to play it calm when her father was here, seriously, Rey? They were going to have a Talk later.

[sith_happened]

Anakin would just be....over here, with his rebreather on, hoping no one really recognized him as he moved giant pieces of whatever with the Force when no one was looking.

[long_memory]

Okay this wasn't the nicest planet but space travel was still new enough to Silver that he was still kind of in awe by everything. Maybe one day he'd get used to all of this, but it wasn't today.

He was also happy he could at least be more help than he was the last time he was in space. Manual labor he could do, and he wasn't hindered by a crutch now.

"Heads up," Rose called, as a couple Resistance members came by carrying a long antenna pole.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Trash planet! Summer should not be this stoked to actually be dealing with Trash Planet right now, but she was, so just take that judgement and put it right up your....

...er, in your pocket. Yup. There.

Either way, she was there to help, and so help she did, moving things with an energy and eagerness reserved for when she was getting to scratch that persistent Space Resistance itch that was was pretty sure was as permanently under her skin as one of her grandpa's tracking devices, and trying not to get distracted with ship upgrades and shit like that while she hauled shit back and forth.

On the trash planet! Which did not disappoint!

[savingwhatwelove]

"You're maybe the first person I've sever seen look excited about moving," Rose said from where she was wrapping cable over her shoulder.

[badassprodigy]

Barry was indeed having the time of his life. Especially after retrofitting an inertial compensator on one of the ships which unfortunately got him covered in hydraulic fluid. He clearly didn't care about the mess.

"This place is fucking awesome," Barry said cheerfully coming up to Summer. "So much shit to fix and new technology to play with. Best weekend trip ever!"

Barry had a different viewpoint than others when it came to a mass evacuation of a planet.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Um, gross.

Annie was trying really hard not to be all that grossed out by the trash planet, because they had a job to do. (Going to space had helped; even if it was a trash planet, it was a trash planet in space.)

In any case, Annie was trying to find heavier stuff to carry, since she could. What good were superpowers if you didn't use them to haul around heavy-looking crates when your friends needed you to?

[bigwalkingcarpet]

Don't mind Chewie, casually walking by with an even heavier load, like a boss.

[notarockharpist]

It was probably inevitable that she'd cross paths with Yasha at some point then.

She was pulling a stack of crates on a makeshift sort of sledge that had no right to be moving as easily as it was, but she kind of awkwardly nodded to Annie and half-mumbled what sounded like a hello.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Aaaaannniiiieeee!"

Summer only wished she could blame that greeting on the fact that Nina was staying at her apartment a lot this week, but that was definitely not the case.

"Is this great?"

For the record, Summer also did not bother keeping a straight face as she said that, no, laughing a little although a very big part of her was absolutely loving this, but, for, like, personal reasons that had nothing to do with hauling shit through a trash planet.

[firstofitskind]

Liam had been here once before, so he more or less knew his way around, though it definitely looked different when everything was in the process of being disassembled.

The last time he'd been here, he'd spent a lot of time with the communications equipment, so that was where he was now, helping take apart and pack things away.

[savingwhatwelove]

"I'm guessing you're going to be able to help us set this stuff back up, too?" Rose asked him from where she was working nearby.

[notallbluemonks]

"Liaaaaaaam," Beau said on her way past. "'sup?"

[notarockharpist]

Yasha, unsurprisingly, did not look comfortable, though how much of that was because of the people and how much was because of the garbage was anyone's guess.

It was more than a little bit weird for her to be here, especially since Beau had just dragged her into this unexpectedly, but... she felt like she did owe Rey for helping to rescue her, so she'd also felt obligated to help.

The equipment was unfamiliar to her, so she wasn't going to try and disassemble any of that, but from her time with the carnival the tents were much more her speed. That was where she focused most of her effort, when she wasn't helping move and carry heavy stuff.

[bigwalkingcarpet]

Of course Chewie would end up having to help with tent stuff, as one of the biggest and strongest here. So when the first of the tents was empty, he growled something over at Yasha to ask for help with it.

Which may or may not be obvious. He gestured, at least.

[notallbluemonks]

Rey, you were so lucky Beau had you pretty far up there on her list of friends, because she'd had all these anniversary weekend plans. But when it came down to it, she couldn't leave a friend hanging. She'd maybe be a little scowly about it for the next day or two, but the weird thing about this fairly new experience of having friends -- nothing in her would have let her say no.

Carrying heavy things was definitely not her strong point, so instead she had set herself up to help direct part of the massive game of packing Tetris they had going on here.

"No, man, hang on, no! There's room here for something --" she held up her hand like she was holding a midsize box -- "before you jam that shit in here."

[thatwaslucky]

"Got something," Rey said, coming over with a couple of crates. "This should fit."

[badassprodigy]

Barry wasted no time diving into whatever he could do to help. One of the things he brought along with him was several crates that were much bigger on the inside than on the outside. Hooray for Inspector Spacetime and Mr. What for giving the inspiration for that.

Cracking open each crate which had a five foot by five foot entrance there was easily over 1,000 square feet of space in each one and a ladder leading down into each crate.

"All right motherfuckers," Barry said cheerfully. "These suckers were built for transporting completely legal and safe cargo-"

Well. It was built for that now

"So load them up. Doesn't matter about the weight as the crate mass will remain the same. Just don't get stuck down there when the crate is sealed as there's only so much air in there."

Looking around he saw various vehicles, spaceworthy and otherwise. "Any of these not working? Point me to them and lets get those fuckers fixed up."

[savingwhatwelove]

Don't mind Rose peering down into one of the crates.

"Is there a weight limit on these things?"

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"...admittedly, not how I expected space to look," Jaskier said from a safe spot. Away from too much physical labor. He was here as moral support.

[savingwhatwelove]

"Probably because we're on a planet," Rose said, coming over. "Can I get your help with something?"

[notallbluemonks]

"Now are you going to play Freebird?" asked Beau as she went by to go take stock of the next batch of cargo so she could get an idea of what she had to work with next.
