thefinaljedi | 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.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[They reach the shoreline, and Red kicks thoughtfully at some of the stones that rest at the water's edge.] Well, we're going to find out if we continue walking like this, right?

Yes, I suppose we will.

[Luke picks up a few stones, and starts tossing them in the water, skipping them]

Hah! Cute!

[Red picks up a stone of his own and tosses--only to have it plop with a small splash.]

Heh, try throwing it horizontally, like this. Hold the flat of the stone in the palm of your hand. [He demonstrates again]

All right. Let's try this again.

[He reaches for another, hefting the weight of it in his hand before he attempts the same motion on his own.

Plop. Again.]

Harder, Red. You need to put a spin on the rock!

All right--and yet again!

[The motions are once again attempted, this time with added spin as if he were throwing a disk to make it soar.

It skips. Once.

Plop.]

Edited 2012-04-07 12:29 (UTC)

Getting better. Once more, but throw it as hard as you can.

[Quietly, he makes ready to concentrate, and use the Force to help Lupin...]

[He cast a curious look at the Jedi.] If you say so...

isn't that counter productive?

[Regardless, Red obeys and chucks the next stone full force at the lake.]

[Luke gives it a gentle nudge with the force, letting it actually skip several times]

See, proper application of force is all thats needed.

Oh, hey! That's pretty cool how that works!

[He grins at Luke the way a child would. He had never taken the time to practice such things, and it was strangely amusing to see.]

Its something to pass the time. There were points on Dagobah where I had downtime. [He shrugs]

That's a pretty nifty trick, is all. I never thought to give it a try before, just considered the possibility of fishing at one of these lakes.

You know, I've never fished before. Have you?

Actually? No. But it shouldn't be too hard, and there is a lot of people around here who can teach us.

True enough, there are plenty of people from other worlds that don't have starships. I'm sure someone knows how to.

They're friendly enough too, so they probably wouldn't mind giving us a hand in learning for ourselves. It might be fun trying to cook our catches too.

I imagine so, yes. I have a feeling that we're sort of strange to the rest, coming from a starfaring civilization.

Everyone is strange here, Luke, because none of us are where we should be. Maybe that's why everyone is friendly here? Because we're all really not so different, no matter what our homes and history are like.

Right, and there is definitely quite the collection of heroes and heroines as well. Reminds me of when I was a bright-eyed greenhorn right off Tatooine.

This would, wouldn't it? It's definitely refreshing to see.

...feeling a little better there, Luke?

I am, actually. Thank you.
