6th Transmission, Stopping to smell the Kibo...[Video/Action]

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke Skywalker has had an eventful few weeks, what with Anakin arriving, and breaking the news to his father about his rather dark future, not to mention the New Feather cycle. He'd patrolled the woods for newcomers, and spent many afternoons introducing himself to and attempting to help New Feathers get adjusted to life in Luceti. Not to mention the recent the blank...day from the last weekend.

That was beginning to be a common theme, blank days in his memory, and it was starting to be more than mildly disconcerting. Luke was genuinely starting to get angry at having his mind wiped by the Malnosso. To alleviate some of this, Luke decided that today would probably be an excellent day for exercise, and perhaps finding someone to train with. He'd talked to some people in the past about working on Jedi philosophy, martial training, and even meditative practice but due to the New Feather cycle, Anakin, and the confusion regarding the attack on the Battle Dome things had just not worked out.

He sends out a message to the village in Video form during the morning, before stepping outside to begin his own practice]

Good morning Luceti. I trust this morning finds you all well. I have a bit of a request. I would like to find someone to help me train today. Its been a while since I've had anyone to spar with, and equally as long since I've had an exercise partner. If anyone is interested, please contact me. I will be around Community House Five, so if you'd prefer, please stop by.

Moreover, if anyone is interested, I feel like today is a fine day for a hike and would love company.

[After his morning, he heads about his business in the village, stopping by the shops to pick up a few odds and ends like nutrient bars, a travelling pack, and some canteens.

Following this, he begins to make preparations for a rather lengthy hike, planning on heading out into the woods and just walking until he feels like its time to turn around. Why? Because he knows that he needs to relax and take time to smell the Kibo. Even if there aren't any Kibo flowers here. All the little things are starting to build up, and he can ill afford a tantrum of his own, having just prevented Anakin's explosion the previous week.

Its a fine spring day, and he does hope that someone will join him on his walk]

(OOC: Feel free to grab Luke pretty much anywhere. In the morning, in town, over the journal, before his hike, out on his walk, or really whatever you want.)

...I dunno about hiking, but I am planning an excursion to check out the wreckage of the Battle Dome later. Though, we can always do that later in the week.

Frankly? It sounds pretty fun. I haven't checked out the western lake too much, if you wanted to head there.

[video]

[thefinaljedi]

Alright, why don't we do that? I'd rather avoid the Battle Dome for the moment, I have a feeling there might still be droids lurking around.

I've yet to go out to the Western lake myself, so that sounds nice.

[redjacketthief]

[He wasn't afraid of the droids, especially since they didn't seem hostile unless attacked. Red being quiet and sneaky, he had a feeling he could slip in without much notice. But, the caution was warranted, and he wasn't very combat ready.

Red nods.]

You're probably right. Want to try this afternoon sometime? I have some business in town to do, and I need to get supplies.]

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

I'd be up for some hiking.

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

Excellent Rydia. Why don't you get ready, and we can meet up around noon?

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

That sounds fine to me! I'll bring some food, since a picnic is a good way to end a hike.

[After last night's little diversion and a few hours of rest well warranted and well earned, Adele is flipping through the journal for any posts by her favorite villagers. Nothing from Ben, save the recordings that started the chase, She's already spoken to Red, nothing from the Sand-Brat. But, Luke. Luke who seems...restless. With her? That's fine. She's nowhere near powerful enough to cause any real trouble. But a Skywalker? He needs a diversion, an outlet.

Easy enough for her to track him down in the village, dropping in alongside him as he walks through the village in the early morning.]

Morning Luke. [A quick smile, an extension of her consciousness to wrap around his in a friendly, affectionate embrace. The lingering sparks of anger were terribly visible; and she did her best to smooth them over without being obtrusive. it was much easier when she was working with Ben or Anakin, really.]

I heard you were looking for a sparring partner?

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

[Adele's presence isn't exactly difficult to spot. She never failed to make an impression. The mental...hug...that she offered was met with a smile and an actual, physical hug.]

Good morning Aunt Adele. Yes, you hurt correctly. Why, do you know somebody who wants to?

[Action]

[fleurdesel]

I'm certain my desires for a decent duel were expressed clearly in the snippet of the argument Ben and I had last night.

[The hug is returned, and the 'aunt' makes her laugh as it always does. Having a hand in Luke's childhood, helping him in any small way? Warms her heart to know.]

What do you say? It's been months since I've faced anything other than a simulation, but I might offer some challenge.

[fearless_leader]

I wouldn't mind doing some sparing. Or even just a hike.

[thefinaljedi]

Alright Leonardo. What would you like to spar with?

[Video]

[areyoumyfriend]

[Yuriko hesitantly sends Luke a video message.]

I wanted to ask you something.

[Video]

[thefinaljedi]

Of course, Yuriko, what's up?

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

[For this, of course, the picture window shows Mercury.]

I'd be willing to train alongside you if you'd like.

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

I'd like that very much, Mercury. What sort of training would you like to do?

video;

[humility]

I'd be happy to help with either, if you're willing.

video;

[thefinaljedi]

Of course, Aqua. That would be much appreciated. Which would you prefer?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

You know I'm ready for it!

[Sounds... More outspoken than usual.]

((OOC: Current AU.))

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

Great, Daisy. Bring your wooden weapon, and lets meet downstairs in an hour or so?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

What do you spar with?

[ooc: Black Butler Shinigami AU'ed. The sunglasses will be permanently on.]

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

A lightsaber and the Force against Jedi, or those training in our ways. Against others? My fists and feet, or nearly any melee weapon.

[After hearing Luke's transmission, Anakin heads out to go find him. Since that discussion the previous week things have been, well, rough for him. But he's done his best to keep a lot of it to himself, mostly focusing on mediation and taking it easy. So the chance to spar with Luke would be a welcome distraction. Plus, hey, he wouldn't mind seeing just what his son is made of.

When he finds Luke there's a grin on his face.]

What's this I hear about you looking for a sparring partner?

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

I am. Why, are you interested?

[Luke actually smiles now. He's heard that his father was quite the duelist, and had experienced the raw power of Anakin's dueling skills when he was younger. Though...he was curious to know if Darth Vader or Anakin was the more skilled.]

[brokethefourthwall]

[In the item shop, Luke is in for a bit of a surprise. The second he lifts the travelling pack up off the item pile, a bright pink pony explodes from beneath it, blowing a party noisemaker in his face before giggling with glee.]

Surprise! You found Pinkie Pie!

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke DEFINITELY wasn't expecting that. He jumps about a foot in the air!]

WHAT?!
