It's more a stance on "not getting put in prison on a backwater moon," but I think it depends on the murderee.
[ Which is not an answer Poe would have given before they remembered what happened on Crait and before it. It's not an answer he would have given before he tried to gun down Ren in cold blood. ]
[ Finn kind of appreciates the wiggle room. It's probably good that there wasn't strictly an acceptable murder zone like that pre-update, bc he absolutely would have started trying to work out his "assassinate kylo ren if it helps poe to do it" plan back in December. ]
Hux is here.
[ Then, almost instantly: ]
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if there's anyone here less worth wasting that other 10% on.
[ He's making a face like a toddler who just bit down on a lemon even if there is also the delicate blossom of murder in his heart. Of course Hux is here. Of course he is. ]
Don't get arrested because of that guy. You'll make him feel important and he likes that too much.
He'll be missing excuses to feel important here. Everyone here has the choice not to listen to him when he gets long-winded.
If you ever happen to get the chance to knock him on his face, take it. I don't even have to be there. I just owe him one. Between the two of us someone will get there eventually.
[ When you could've gotten Rose but the portal is rude as hell. smh. ]
Maybe. I'm sure I'd hear him complaining without it, too.
[ Nobody really knows how the Force works. Stuff just happens and people keep doing more stuff. It's the circle of life and death and balance and luck not actually existing. Anyway, Han Solo is in the ether somewhere flipping Poe off. ]
I think whatever day he finally eats pavement on is my birthday, actually. Funny how that works out.
[ Local Man Can't Be Stopped.
"He was so full of glee about the realization that he could do that," the man's friends explained. "He just really loved the idea of one of his fascist abusers eating shit on the sidewalk. So much that a day that great could only be put to better use as his birthday. We literally couldn't stop him." ]
[ Poe is way more on board with the idea of an all points bulletin about Hux and Kylo than he would have been before the whole trip through canister memory lane, too, but he has to remind himself that the reason they didn't do that in the first place still stands. It would give them a platform. It would give them a voice. Poe doesn't want them to have either of those things. ]
A perfect birthday. We can invite whatever patch of pavement tripped him and the one he broke his nose on for good measure.
[ Last thing the First Order needs is a foothold, no matter how small. His opinion on power, aka "not something that's gained so much as it is something used, occasionally with a snowballing effect of picking up more and more influence," hasn't changed all that much.
The more they do to keep that tool out of Kylo Ren and Hux's hands (by sometimes doing less, he guesses), the better. ]
Oh, good. Done deal.
He's not worth much without an army backing him up, but we should probably give a few people a heads up. Just in case.
[ Everyone from home at a default, in keeping with teamwork. However many of them haven't already seen him on the network and responded. Cisco, maybe. Finn doesn't have a long list. ]
The usuals? I'll tell John, we can split the difference on the rest of our people. [ Yes John is "their people" now it's a thing roll with it. ] ...Might be better if you tell Karen. Don't think she wants to hear from me.
[ Well he's sure not gonna contest it. Cool yeah let John know man. Even if Poe and John weren't doing their whole... warm fuzzy thing, John is on the team by dint of being... on the team. With RR-1. (Or directly in charge of the team, and a teammate in a much broader sense. But Finn doesn't think on it much because he has no idea what to do with John as a commanding officer sometimes, apart from following him. There's still a hint of "sounds fake but okay, when do I hit the limit" in the air with John Sheppard.
No wonder he and Poe get on so well tbh.)
Finn will one day realize their "we're in this together" team span is. Turning into more of like a whole fucking squadron. Rad. ]
Sure. Tell John I've got Chyler covered.
I can tell Rey and Leia if you want, too. See if they know already. Just let me know.
[ He can't tell what his own motives are. That he wants to talk to her, that he hasn't gone this long without seeing her since they met? That he wants to know if she's changed her mind, if the presence of someone else from the First Order might tip the scales somehow?
He's not sure. Doesn't matter, really. He's not going to run away or make Finn take the responsibility for everything just because the other option is unpleasant. ]
[ Poe knows how to find him if he changes his mind. Finn tries to come up with something supportive to send back, but it's a complex beast, this situation. Can't offer to fight Leia Organa for him. ... no, no, definitely can't, Poe wouldn't dig it. If he has to respectfully argue with her he'll do it on his own time. ]
