[ It matters so much but there's no one to ask for the real deets. Alas. For lack of any possible better response at the ready: ]
Congratulations! Good job getting turned into a bird. [ ???????? It's like Poe is speaking another language. Why is life an ongoing string of things that might as well be happening, why not. It's great that he had fun? ] I'm a little more concerned with the why and how.
Right, so--Taako. He's a wizard, great guy. He threatened to turn me into a dog while he was making candy, it was a joke, it's fine. But then he said he could do a bird instead, and... He meant it. So I thought it over, I asked him if he still would, he said yes--
[ Poe snaps his fingers. ] And there I was. Wings and everything.
[ On one hand, rude. On the other hand, definitely a sign that Poe's probably not dying. Finn rolls his eyes even though he knows for a fact that Poe can't see it. ]
I hope you tell BB-8 and he zaps you.
[ where's bb-8, he needs to go and ask him specifically to do it, only to not know if he gets a yes because he can't speak droid.
[ That does explain so much about why he zapped Finn for apparent jacket thievery. No joke, that loyalty programming. Least of all when it's been a long time.
Also BB-8 is just difficult in general. Finn's fond of him but like. Jeez. ]
Suddenly a lot makes sense. How'd "I got turned into a bird" go over with him?
I'm trying to figure out a way to make it make sense to a droid. 'I turned into a bird' isn't exactly within the normal parameters of either one of our experiences.
[ He's learning to embrace different. He's learning to embrace outside of normal parameters. It's not the hardest thing since he always liked it best when his team had their helmets off.

You're space crazy, alright.
[ He supports you, Poe. You're a good friend and he supports your happiness, and this is such a weird thing to even pretend he's addressing. ]

He almost wishes he was sitting across from Poe right now so that he could stare him down over this. ]
I don't know what I expected you to say to that, Poe, but I don't think it was what I got.
no subject
[ ABSOLUTELY NO RECORDINGS OF WHAT HE SAID OVER THE COMMS EXIST BECAUSE HE DESTROYED THEM ALL. ] The point is I'm not space crazy now, I was a bird!

[ Did BB-8 actually say Finn makes fun noises when zapped? It is a mystery dot jpg. ]

You make it so easy to see where that droid got his sense of fun.

Call if you need a rescue. [ bc not everyone has finn's natural chill and grace. ]

[ Sure Poe. ]

Wouldn't have guessed. [ BB-8, you're his only hope. Just a tiny, tiny zap. ] It's not exactly within normal parameters across the board.

Sure, Poe.
