WHO: Boba Fett, Connor, and Peter Parker WHEN: During Mission 004 WHERE: Assigned housing WHAT: Closed starters for "family" interactions NOTES\WARNINGS: Probable mentions of teen parenthood, familial death, and general familial dysfunction
[sorry, Peter. Connor's able to process bits of information by just barely glancing at it, which is why they're nearly running into each other in the hall.]
Truth or dare is a game, and would imply that the participants are having fun. [no one has smiled since arriving.] I wouldn't define this as fun. The other tasks involve more social activities. [he glances pointedly at Fett - the task of removing the helmet remains unsaid. back to Peter:]
Then, you're supposed to fill the role of our child. I know what a family is, but I haven't experienced one as you two have.
[another glance at Fett, because he isn't sure if he's experienced family, either. he's only working off of tone of voice.]
I'm having a hard time understanding how Eos thinks forcing strangers together will encourage what people describe as a 'warm' environment.
And you don't even look old enough to have me as a son! What's even their process in deciding who goes where? Or what their goals are? [Looking at the list in question, he's immediately struck by even the concept of a crying baby in his vicinity.] I've barely been able to hold onto a girlfriend for more than a few months; I can't be a — a dad!
[ As much as Fett agrees with both assessments that the situation they've been placed in is both obnoxious and nonsensical, he sees little point in standing here rehashing that fact. Yes, this is terrible. No, standing here criticizing Eos isn't going to make it any less terrible. ]
Eos is playing the same game as Aurora, [ he says impatiently. ] You think she engineered the labyrinth or the cursed toys for our benefit, too? This is a test, just like everything else.
[ Which means, as much as Fett hates it, he isn't going to stand here and let them fail. He thinks back to his own list of tasks. There had been one about teaching his "child" a skill, hadn't there? His visor turns towards Peter. ]
Come here, [ he orders tersely. ] I'm going to teach you how to hold a baby.
It's ... a challenge that I can understand is uncomfortable for all parties involved. Keep in mind this is only for a limited amount of time.
[he isn't made for this. he doesn't think he's quite at uncomfortable-level territory, but he is definitely toeing the line. all attention back on Fett, he's not giving up when it comes to trying to get more information out of him. even if it means cheating.
aka, poke the bear.]
Fett is old enough to have had several children, even grandchildren. If there is supposed to be some benefit to our situation, I'd like to think that we can all learn from each other.
