Why.

( This situation doesn't even deserve the correct punctuation. )

[goazon]

It was on my way to where I was already going, and I knew it was likely to befuddle and otherwise annoy you.

[ those tacos could've been yours kylo, if you were less of a dick. ]

[apparare]

( Befuddle? Whose thesaurus has she been reading? )

Making a pilgrimage to Tatooine?

[goazon]

[ die mad. ]

You know I won't answer.

[apparare]

( He probably will. Or not. )

You don't have to. I can glean enough from an image without needing you to spell it out. There are only so many planets that house sarlaccs. I suppose you could be on Aargonar, although it seems unlikely given how sparsely populated it is. I don't expect many of its inhabitants would eat or make tacos, at any rate. Dathomir, Duroon, Darvannis, Felucia, and Socorro all seem equally unlikely given the terrain, as do the other planets and moons that have been known to house sarlaccs, living or dead. There are, however, several locations on Tatooine that are capable of supporting them. Was it Luke or Han who told you the story?

( Fucking nerd. )

[goazon]

What story?

[apparare]

Interesting.

( Sent alone initially, but the three little dots that indicate typing will appear in Rey's little message box for at least a full minute before he decides - )

Jabba the Hutt tried to feed them to one.

[goazon]

When? Were you there?

lmfao that icon

[apparare]

How old do you think I am?

here this one is better

[goazon]

Physically or spiritually?

two ends of a real spectrum

[apparare]

It happened thirty years ago. So no, I wasn't there.

perpetual dealing with kylo ren face

[goazon]

Are you going to tell me the story?

she's going to have a lot of wrinkles

[apparare]

You want me to elaborate further than 'the head of a crime syndicate tried to feed them to a mouth in a hole?' Are you looking for context?

if they don't kill each other first

[goazon]

I do, yes. I like to see how the real story differs from the more fantastical version that usually gets filtered down to nobodies like me.

luckily he has a great skincare routine. now watch me butcher the empire strikes back

[apparare]

If Han Solo had told you the story, it would have been unnecessarily fantastical.

( And probably mostly inaccurate but that wouldn't have stopped it from being entertaining, as he recalls. )

This would have been during the Galactic Civil War. The way I have heard it, Solo owed Jabba a large amount of money from time spent smuggling for him, which he failed to pay after getting caught up with the Rebel Alliance for several years. Darth Vader, concurrently, was hunting the galaxy for Skywalker, so they had a common interest. Once he caught them on Bespin, Vader allowed a bounty hunter to encase Solo in carbonite and take him back to Tatooine to collect the reward. Apparently Jabba wanted him as the focal point of a growing art collection. The others escaped and spent some time strategizing how to save him from his own mistakes. When they executed their plan, they were all caught, unsurprisingly, and were taken out to the Dune Sea to be fed to the sarlacc. Like tacos.

ah that was so well done

[goazon]

What happened to Jabba?

[ for as cantankerous as he is, he does tell a good story, however occasionally peppered with uncomfortable truths it has been before. it helps that she's a sucker for things she doesn't know about. ]

call me jaded cliffnotes

[apparare]

He was killed when everything inevitably went to hell. Leia strangled him.

( The version that he was told as a child didn't have the level of detail necessary for a true recount of events, but word gets around and people talk, particularly when you go looking. Of course talking about his mother is never easy or simple, no matter how abstractly. )

I was spared the illustrious details, but as the rumors go, he had enslaved her, so he deserved it.

cliffnotes for crybabies a new musical

[goazon]

[ if his pain over his mother is anything like his mother's is over him - and Rey think it might be - it's likely only held back by the same duracrete determination Leia exudes. which is to say, she doesn't say anything about how incredible it is, Leia taking down a Hutt crime lord, but she wants to. call it inexplicable graciousness. ]

Enslaved her? Then he got what was coming to him.

Have you ever met a Hutt crime lord before?

coming soon to theaters

[apparare]

( He wouldn't disagree with her. As much as he resents Leia, it's still. Complicated. There's no other word for it. )

I tend to agree. But, no, I haven't had the pleasure. I have been told they smell, though.

rated pg-13 may contain wall punching

[goazon]

[ there is a lot of typing. this conversation took a turn. part of her wants to ruin it, part of her doesn't. ]

I think it's known across the universe that Hutts have a stench to them.

Sarlaccs are impressive.

one can only hope

[apparare]

In size or in appetite?

( Talking about unsightly desert dwellers is so much easier than talking about his mother. )

[goazon]

Both. I think it knew I had more tacos I wasn't giving over.

[ he did not deserve this reprieve and she knows it. ]

[apparare]

I think it is more likely that it considered the tacos an appetizer.

[goazon]

It's possible, but appetizers are something rather unique to individuals who have an abundance of food. I don't know if that can be said for the sarlacc.

[apparare]

I'm implying that it was more interested in eating you.

( Is she empathizing with mouth in the ground? )
