[ what if she just... doesn't answer that first part. she can handle the pity, she got plenty of it when they returned from eadu, she doesn't want cassian and kay and bodhi to deal with it to. ]
The Force is everything. It's
hard to explain. It would be a very long message. It might scroll. [ slowly, in yellow block print over a starry background. ]
[ at least not one that would make sense without context. jyn had grown up with a force-sensitive mother, it had always been a part of her life, even with her father being so scientifically minded. ]
The Force is energy created by life that surrounds us all.
There is a species of rodent on the planet Alpinn that were born without eyes because the white rocks of the planet were so bright that if they could see, the reflection of the sun off the white stone would blind them. Then have no concept of light because sight isn't even one of their senses. Even though we know of light and suns, they do not.
The Force is like a sun. It touches everything and it connects all things. Most people are like the Alpinn rodents and can't feel the Force, but some people are born sensitive to it and can feel it moving and surrounding people. In rare cases, there are people born that are so sensitive to the Force that they can bend it to their will and use it. There are no Jedi left though, they all died in the Clone Wars.
[ she thinks all that is accurate but she hasn't read about alpinn since she was very young and the clone wars were back when she was small enough to fit into a back pack carrier. no doubt chirrut would have a better explanation, but yuuri's stuck with jyn. ]
I think I sort of get it. It's not called the Force, but some people back home believe they have a sixth sense of some kind. Not an exact match, but it's still a kind of power that not everyone really understands or believes in.
It sounds like the Force is accepted as fact in your universe, though. Is anyone you know sensitive to it?
A friend of mine, yes. [ chirrut was a jedi in everything but name, really, and the more jyn thinks about it, the more she believes baze was the same, only far less vocal about it. he had very good aim. ]
[ i mean, yes, definitely to a degree, but jyn doesn't think that personally. maybe she's too close to the situation to realize that she's definitely on the side of force sensitive. ]
Sorry, I know I asked a lot of questions. I guess I kept asking because it sounds like you and Captain Andor have a lot more experience with...everything.
A regular person with a lot more experience than I have.
I guess it seems like ...an obvious choice to ask you and Cassian about what you've been through when I still have no idea what I'm even doing in space most days. (There, I used his first name. Happy?)

Sorry, it's just a lot to take in.

A friend of mine, a brother really, likes to say that everything is as the Force wills it. We're dead, but apparently we're not done.
[ maybe not say "we" when talking about dead people idk. stop having a sad life!!! ]
no subject
"We"?
What is the Force? I've never heard of it.

So no condensed version?
I don't mind scrolling, though. It's sort of interesting hearing about all these new things from everyone's worlds. Or universes.

My mother maybe.

What about you?

[ i mean, yes, definitely to a degree, but jyn doesn't think that personally. maybe she's too close to the situation to realize that she's definitely on the side of force sensitive. ]
no subject
Actually, is it something that you can learn?
no subject
It can only be taught if you're already sensitive. Jedis learn how to use the force, but normal people can't.

We can just pretend I never asked!
I like you somewhat too Jyn. (I'm guessing that's what you prefer to be called.) Thanks for answering all my questions like that.
[He's teasing her little there, but he is happy that she'd indulged in his curiosty, especially when he has a feeling she generally keeps to herself.]
