[Allen had just finished training for the day. It wasn't like his usual workout as he was slowly working his way back to to that. He was still honestly tired after what happened even if he didn't do an awful lot beyond talking.

But to him talking can be just as exhausting and yet here he was with a smile on his face.]

Hello... So I don't normally talk on here much but I'm trying this new thing called... being open and it's been going well. Sort of.

[He has his moments.]

So I decided why don't we all try giving a fact or two about ourselves. They don't have to be super serious or anything. Just anything will do and we can talk.

I will go first with some facts:

One: Back home we had a situation where people became zombie like and so to deal with something... I hit on a male robot to get him to do it. It worked.
Two: I have a bone to pick with Cupid. They're an asshole and I don't like them.
Three: I've cheated pirates out of money. Like a lot of money.
And finally Four: I once stabbed myself with my own sword. I thought it wouldn't do anything... I was very very wrong.

[All rather odd facts about himself that he was comfortable with sharing. The smile till on his face.]

So whose going to be next if anyone.

A sentient race native to the forest moon of Endor. They're about a meter tall and resemble nothing so much as living teddy bears. Don't let that fool you though; they're also fierce hunters and not especially particular about what creature their meat comes from. And they became valuable allies, once the misunderstanding I mentioned was cleared up.

[mynameisallen]

I see.... They sounds terrifying. I also know to never judge a book by it's cover considering what I have seen over the years.

I'm glad that you turned them into allies though.

[motherofresistance]

They could be, if you got on their bad sides. But they're not a violent people by nature. Just... not especially picky eaters. Avoid getting caught in their hunting traps, and you'll likely be fine.

It definitely wasn't a conventional alliance, but it worked out well for all involved. And I made a new friend in the bargain; an Ewok named Wicket. He found me in the forest after my speeder-bike had crashed and eventually led me back to his village.

[mynameisallen]

That's certainly a way to make new friends. But its nice that you did since it works out in the end, plus you never know when you need a friend.

[motherofresistance]

Not one that I'd encourage, but definitely a way, yes. Though the speeder bike crash had less to do with the friendship than the fact that I shared my rations with him and that we defeated two stormtroopers together shortly thereafter.

[mynameisallen]

I guess some day fighting together is a good way to form friendships. The train kinda helps with that type of thing considering.

Not that I've made friends thought that method myself. [But he did do a lot of jobs and that is how he got to know some people through work.]

But this was a nice fact to know.

[motherofresistance]

It was equal parts the food and the fight, I think. But yes, most people- including me- would prefer less dangerous methods of making friends. One thing I've learned though, is that sometimes a friendship forms when and how you'd least expect it. The unexpected ones can be some of the best ones, in fact.

[mynameisallen]

I can understand that. More so if they were someone you formally hated.

[He actually would consider Kanda as one of the better ones ow if he was honest because they now had a level of understanding. AT least from that one place.]

In my case pretty much most friendships are unexpected.

[motherofresistance]

Well then you must have some very good friends. And probably some very interesting stories to go along with them.

[mynameisallen]

I have a good number, but it depends on what is classed as interesting.
