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.)

[Luke smiles and jogs over, glad to see the blue-haired soldier again]

I'm glad you came. Is the clinic alright?

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

There'll be work to be done, but it will be fine.

Do you know more about what happened?

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

I don't. I'm given to understanding that it occurred when we were speaking with Anakin the other day.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

I wonder if it may be related to the people attempting to visit other worlds.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

I don't know. Did that experiment happen? Bil was the one running it, and I know he's in the infirmary.

Re: [Action]

[geniustheveil]

That's more reason to think something went wrong - if it was true to begin with.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Mercury, are you missing time in your memory on Sunday?

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

No. However, many people seem to be, and they don't seem to be acting as themselves since then.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Oh? Who in particular seems to be acting off?

[What he means, is 'Am I?'?]

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

Well, haven't you noticed it, too? [A lot of journal entries seem to involve strange actions on the part of a lot of people.]

Probably... mostly the people who agreed to the deal. It was a trap. [This may not be as much rational thinking as her strong bias against the Malnosso.]

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

I have noticed it. I certainly don't recall going anywhere though. I'm missing a portion of my weekend though. Did you notice me gone?
[He'll just come out and ask then...]
And...am I acting oddly to you?

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

[She keeps to herself too much to be sure, but the second question, at least, she can answer.]

No, you seem like yourself.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Well thats a relief at least. I really don't know though, I've talked to a few people who do seem to be missing time, and acting strangely.

Its all very frustrating though.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

It will probably be resolved quickly. These occurrences usually are. However, if the effects linger, we can look for a more physical cause.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Right. Well, why don't we check on the simulation rooms?

Re: [Action]

[geniustheveil]

Yes. Let's keep our mind on why we're here. [Training for now. It may seem lax of her, but she's learned to let matters run their course in Luceti, unless they're directly harmful to someone.]

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Of course.

[He walks down the shattered hallways towards the simulation chambers, which seem to be in workable shape]

It looks like they may work. The powers on, and the computer consoles are undamaged.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

You mentioned they should be. I wonder why they were left untouched.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

I don't really know. But they do work it seems.

[He powers it on, and taps in a few commands, conjuring up a copy of the Praxeum's training hall on Yavin IV. Stone walls, a few meditation pillows, and a rack of wooden staves, as well as a table covered in small, metal tubes]

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

[Mercury lets the surroundings take her attention from the questions.]

This is where you used to train back home? A simulation of it?

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

It isn't where I trained, no. Its where I teach, though. Admittedly, the cushions for meditation here are probably significantly more comfortable. Is there a place you'd like to begin?

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

I came here to train with you at your request. Whatever you prefer is fine. It will be good practice to try something unfamiliar.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Then, why don't we try these. [He walks over and picks up a pair of the long, metal tubes. She should know what they are, having seen Luke's own lightsaber during Valentine's, and their mission. Walking back he offers her one]

This one should suit you, its coloration is the same as the crystal I gave you a while ago. Please, test the weight and see what you think.

[Action]

[geniustheveil]

I've never used one before, so please be patient with me.

[Despite the disclaimer, her grip is firm as she tests it with a few practice strokes.]

It seems to suit me.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Of course. Its not much different from a sword, though there are some rather unique tricks with it. It may feel a bit light, which is good given your small frame.

Do you know any forms, from your world with your sword?
