A flash of red caught his eye. There weren’t that many red-heads around after all. “Hux! We need to discuss–” his vocoder voice cut off mid sentence as he finally got a decent look at the man. It wasn’t the General, but… “How…? Who are you?” he demanded. -kylocanyounot

Techie froze and felt ice run through his veins. Why is Kylo Ren, of all people, talking to him?! The blood is pulsing so hard in his ears that he doesn’t even know what the man is saying, and can only stare blankly at him.

“Um, ah,” he says, very intelligently.

And then bolts for the nearest exit.

“You h-haven’t disappointed me,” Techie says softly as he blinks and moves his eyes around, trying to get them to settle comfortably in their sockets.

“And I know it d-doesn’t count for much coming from me but… *I’m* happy to see y-you. I thought you w-were scary, and yet, th-the more we speak I feel l-like you’re… kind, too.”

Techie goes pale as he realizes that may have been the wrong thing to say. Didn’t Kylo Ren want to be powerful and intimidating, NOT “kind”? He gets down from the cot on shakey legs.

Techie and Adeline Hux [Closed] [Part 3]

Not a moment passed before he scooped Addie up into his arms and mafe a run for it. Any minute now MaMa’s cronies would realize something was up and look for them. As Techie ran through the hallways, desperate for an exit, he suddenly remembered how they’d first met.

It was eerily similar: the two of them running for their lives from gang members, clutching each other and terror, that horrible *terror*.

Send “!!!” for my muse to jump out from behind a corner, trying to startle your muse. @techiehux

BO1289 had intended to catch a fellow trooper by surprise. It was all about  making sure that he was always on his guard as part of the training process. They had been given a troopers name written on a paper, told not to tell each other who it was, and to report back their findings on the soldier in question.

So imagine his surprise when he jumped out from the corner of a hallway and bellowed his loudest warcry-only for it to be in a small, defenseless man’s face.

Woops.

Techie threw himself down onto the ground and covered his head in a defensive maneuver learned from years of beatings as soon as he heard that terrible scream. He was nearly incoherent with terror, shaking so hard his teeth chattered. “Pl-pl-eaaase! D-don’t h-hu-hurt meee!” he wailed.

Techie and Adeline Hux [Closed] [Part 3]

“Maybe I don’t. Not an-anymore. It’s been a wh-while, a lot can change.” This he said to her as he eyed the terrified Adeline. “But y-you’re still the s-same old *bitch* you always w-were!”

If she just dropped her guard for a few seconds…

A flash of red caught his eye. There weren’t that many red-heads around after all. “Hux! We need to discuss–” his vocoder voice cut off mid sentence as he finally got a decent look at the man. It wasn’t the General, but… “How…? Who are you?” he demanded. -kylocanyounot

“Oh. Oh, no, I d-don’t think you are. You’re th-the co-com-mmander of a huge ship and have r-really cool powers. How could an-anyone think you’re a disappointment?”

The doctor cleans Techie’s eyeballs and leans in to put them back in. He swallows hard when the doctor gets too close.

With a hint of humor, Techie added, “And some people *l-like* assholes.”

“A w-witch!” Techie lets out a loud guffaw and promptly turns bright pink. He hadn’t meant to laugh. “You’re m-more of a cool wi-wiz-zard,” he says earnestly while the doctor takes his bionic eyeballs and examines them closely.

He looks strange sitting on a medbay cot; sockets empty, smiling faintly, cheeks red.

Techie’s expression turns somber as he recalls Peach Trees. “T-torture, I guess…” He takes a deep breath and adds, “MaMa just *did* th-things, and I wouldn’t know why. It was f-fun for her, probably, to m-make me scream.”
