Timestamps, such as "Date/Time/Type of Action" would be great!

April 11 // Action
But either way, I'm glad you ended up being thrown off with me.
April 11 // Action
[They pass through the teleporter and arrive at the beach. Lupin takes a deep breath of the salty air--it's been a while since he's done something like this on his own.]
...I also wanted to thank you, for informing Han and Kyle and them. It probably won't do much in the long term, but maybe someone on the otherside can try something. If we're lucky.
April 11 // Action
Well, in truth, if anyone an manage it it would be Han. Kyle, Kyp, and Mara are all relentless, as well. I wouldn't count on a rescue anytime soon, but if anyone could? It'd be them.
April 11 // Action
[They reach a spot near the shore, and Lupin plants the two rods in the sand and holds out a hand.] Bait?
Just so you know...I got your back if you ever need it.
April 11 // Action
[He holds out the case Lupin had given him]
Here.
April 11 // Action
[He pulls one of the plastic critters out and firmly attaches it to the hook. When he's complete, he passes it to Luke and does the same to the other two rods.]
Fishing is not that hard, honestly. It's a matter of attracting a fish, having quick reflexes, and being able to handle their fight. [After checking his line to be certain it was properly weighted, he unlatches the reel and moves away from Luke a few paces.]
Of course, you need a good cast too. Too close to the shore and you're just going to get nibbled at by little suckers; too far and you risk not noticing if you have a catch because the line's not taut.
It's a matter of how the wind is blowing and, most importantly, your swing.
[He holds the rod in position as if he were a baseball player at bat and snaps the rod in the air. The brightly colored mimic of a shrimp sails through the air before dropping in the water.
Smiling, he latches the reel back into place.]
You think you got it, or do you need another demo?
April 11 // Action
I think I got it though. [Luke attaches the bait to a hook and tests the wind with his own senses. He winds up and tosses the line into the water. Its not perfect, but its certainly not a bad first attempt]
How was that?
April 11 // Action
[Chuckling, he does the same to the next rod and plants them both in the sand. He flops down himself, thin legs crossed in front of him.]
And now? We wait. You can hold the rod if you're antsy, but the tip should bend when there's a solid bite. It's a lot of watching and waiting. Oddly relaxing.
April 11 // Action
[Luke embeds his in the sand next to Lupin and flops down to wait, his eyes fixed on the end of the rod]
Are there any techniques to attract fish?
April 11 // Action
[He shrugs and grabs one of the rods for a demonstration.] You can jig in on occassion--[He jerks the rod slightly, just enough to move the bait but not enough to lift it from the water.] Like so. With fake bait like this, it helps to simulate it being alive.
...so nothings changed on your end because of this Shift? That's...good. Makes life a little easier.
April 11 // Action
[Luke smiles and jiggles the line gently as well]
And no, nothing's really changed.
April 11 // Action
[So it was all on his end, with his feelings and mentalities on the matter. His actions and feelings would be what determined the course from here on out. Sighing, he leans back in the sand.
The fish would take their time. Why not him?]
...it's an allergy.

Looks like you got something.
