[ For a moment, after the device turns on, there's only a faint outline of a man sitting in front of it. A ghostly presence, as transparent as a window.
Then the figure flickers, and Poe comes into focus. He doesn't look well. Sweaty, eyes feverish, there for a moment and then flickering again like a struggling television. BB-8 is in the background, whistling in concern, but that whistling comes and goes along with Poe. Neither one of them look particularly attached to the world at the moment.
When Poe speaks, it goes from faint to clear and pained. ]
So this is new. So's that ship outside, has anyone else noticed that? Has anyone else tried to get to--auuuck.
[ He doubles up a little, teeth gritted. ] Okay, first thing... first. Does anyone have any experience with something like this?
[ He lifts a hand and it pales, before flashing back into clarity. ]
One second I'm walking toward my room, next minute I'm down in the park and there are two extra suns in the sky and from what I can tell it's been a month since I was here.

[ Force, he disappeared on Finn. He disappeared on Finn. A moment ago he'd just been scared (cavalier, faking bravado, but scared). Now he's scared and trying to think how he would feel in Finn's shoes. He wouldn't be satisfied with thinking that Finn had gone home. Not after all of this. He would never really be able to believe it, no matter how many times he told himself it was true.
The world shifts out of focus around him and he steels himself, praying it doesn't disappear entirely. He doesn't know what's going on, but he doesn't want to vanish again. He doesn't want BB-8 to disappear either. He's not sure either one of them would come back. ]
I'm okay, Finn, I'm fine.
[ He does not sound convincing or convinced. ]

We could use better hobbies, he remembers saying, a few months back now. Wasn't much of a relief then. Doesn't feel like one now, either. But he thinks that maybe one of these days he'll actually try putting an effort into that. ]
Let's save "fine" for when you're actually fine. It'll hold. [ Classic Poe.
Finn appreciates it. ]
For all we know, this happened all the time back before the place cleared out. Could be an easy fix.
[ Finn doesn't necessarily sound convinced or convincing either, as is his wont. He still put all the "I will do literally anything possible to try to ensure that this is a when over an if, up to and including trying to 1v1 the laws of physics in this universe as needed" energy at his disposal behind it, though.
Because he is several years off, at least, from taking the intensity down from 110% to a cool 100. He'll throw all the whens in the world out there. ]
