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

[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...am not sure how comfortable I'd feel speaking to the local spirits, to be honest. My last encounters with spirits were less than pleasant.

[Her eyebrows raise at that.]

Oh? What happened?

Nothing here. But approximately 3 years ago, my body was attacked by the spirit of a Dark Lord of the Sith, a five-thousand year old malevolent ghost that sent me into a coma and corrupted my best pupil.

[She pauses and stares at him, horrified, then shudders.]

The spirits here are nothing like that, but...I can see why you'd be hesitant.

Exar Kun presented himself as such as well. I'm just wary of contacting things that may or may not have their own agendas, anymore.

I'd be, too, in that case. I guess it's just easier for me, since when I first arrived here, I was still more used to the company of such beings instead of humans. Even now, it's still somewhat that way.

Oh? Then I can see why my problem might seem a bit odd to you. Exar Kun was just a particularly malevolent one, but I've met many Force ghosts that were quite helpful.

Then at least you have those positive experiences to help balance out that other one.

[She smiles while glancing around the wooded area, glad to see it coming to life after winter made it so bare.]

It truly is a nice place. I've never been on a world quite like this during the spring.

Is your world similar?

...sort of? My world has plenty of monsters and hostile creatures in the wilderness, unlike here. It's why we always carry a weapon with us. And yet, the coming of spring is more or less the same. There was always a celebration for that in my village; winter was usually mild for us, but it's still tradition to welcome the changing of the seasons.

Interesting. My homeworld was a desert, but now I live in a jungle moon. This temperate climate is quite different, and to be frank, a welcome change.

[She chuckles softly.]

Tired of all the heat, huh? I can't say that's happened to me, but maybe if I had to live in such extreme conditions, I'd change my mind.

Very tired. Try growing up in a place the most prevalent occupation is moisture farming. Thats...what I learned to do as a child. Farm moisture.

[At that, her brow furrows.]

I've heard of many strange things in my time here, but farming moisture? How on earth do you manage that?

With devices called Vaporators. They take in ambient water in the air, and collect it. I admit, it sounds like a strange thing, but in a world with very, very few water sources? Its necessary.

[She nods, a bit impressed despite herself.]

My world isn't exactly lacking, yet something like that might be helpful in the desert areas.

It is. Are there many cities on your world?

[She shakes her head.]

No, only towns. Even the largest of those isn't very big, and the people of my world are fairly thinly spread out. The castles contain quite a few people, but I'd hesitate to call those cities as well. Honestly, the monsters have greater numbers than we do.

Truly my homeworld is much the same. The Sand People and Jawas far outnumber the human and other alien settlers. Are there many skirmishes?

[At that, she frowns in thought, trying to summarize as best she can.]

Between monsters and people...sometimes, but it's getting better. The issues that caused our world's monsters to become agitated has passed, though there will always be some that are hostile.

As for between humans or other races...not really, not anymore. Again, recent past, but that turned out not to be a true conflict between us, so much as someone manipulating from behind the scenes. But that person is dead and gone now, and the world is infinitely better for it.

Oh? Were there inter-species conflicts between sentients at your home? Its been many eons since there was a racial conflict in the Galaxy, and most people get along with each other. When I say people, I mean Humans and other races, like Wookies, Talz, Duros, Twi'leks, and many many thousands of others.

My world isn't nearly as diverse. Honestly, before all this happened, the races were pretty isolated from each other. Humans dominated the world above, dwarves the world below, and Eidolons only deigned to communicate with my people. The latter are still isolated, but at least the dwarves and humans interact with each other now.

What are Eidolons? Thats a word used in my home Galaxy as well, but it refers to a variety of starship.

[She stares in surprise, since it's not a word most people know.]

In this case, it has nothing to do with starships. Eidolons are beings of great power that dwell in the Feymarch, below the surface of my world. Once I've gained their trust, like any Summoner, I can call them to aid me in combat.

...at least, at home. It's not something I can do here.

That sounds absolutely amazing. I've never heard of anything like that, but...I assume the Barrier interferes with it? Are you able to use them outside of the Barrier?

In my world, Eidolons look something like this. [While he walks, he pulls out his journal and sketches an Eidolon-class Strike Cruiser

These were roughly half a kilometer long, and had a crew of several thousand men.
