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.)

Exactly. There isn't room in our lives for weakness or worries. Thats the life of a servant of peace, yes?

A servant of peace. I've never heard it said that way before.

I wonder if it can be true, when what we do is fighting.

Is that not what you strive for, Ami? Peace, and prosperity for you and yours?

Yes. But the more I fight... the more I'm not really a peaceful person myself, isn't that true?

[And she'd defend it as neither bad nor wrong; but is it compatible with a doctor's dream?]

No. Not at all. You fight because its necessary, right? If you didn't, then your world would be much worse off, wouldn't it?

I believe that. [It's her defense to the people in Luceti who've called her horrible things over her role as a soldier.]

But... Can it really also be right for a doctor?

Of course. Without Mercury, your world would need more than a single doctor, right?

That isn't exactly what I mean... It's just that I've never been sure if they're compatible. [And besides that, the time she spends fighting... is time she'd missed cram school, time she hadn't been able to study, time she'd lost the opportunities to further her education.]

Of course they are. Surely your world isn't so dangerous that you have to fight all the time. There is always a need for doctors, and so long as there is evil there is also a need for soldiers of wisdom. Why wouldn't your dreams be compatible?

Because one hurts, and one heals.

And? It is the same for a Jedi.

I just don't think... it's right. They don't suit each other.

Its a quandary all soldiers find themselves faced with. But...even when one turns swords to plowshares soldiers ARE necessary. That is just a fact. Besides, even soldiers need doctors.

Yes, but I'm not talking about being an army surgeon, and I don't have any healing powers in my world that would be useful in our battles. Just here.

Well, even then I don't feel that the two are necessarily mutually exclusive. Being a soldier does not necessarily make you a violent person. Being a doctor doesn't make you a peaceful one.

I understand that. But they don't go together either. They're contradictory.

That doesn't mean you can't be both. Moonlighting as a soldier of justice isn't something everyone can do. And...do you fight other humans in your world, or something else entirely?

No. Our enemy has tried using them, but they were able to be healed and returned to normal instead.

So...your enemy is mostly monsters? I think you mentioned that you called them Youma or something similar?

Not exactly. Youma were used by our enemy. [And by herself, for awhile.]

Ahh, so monstrous minions? What...exactly...is your enemy then?

Something that shouldn't have existed in our world. It was a creature of malice and evil. It used the people it corrupted as minions, who used youma in turn.

Oh? So...something ancient and powerful. And it corrupts humans?

[Could the Dark Side exist in other worlds? He'd heard legends of a Dark Side creature fleeing the galaxy to spread its ways, and of the Force creating avatars.]

That sounds...well...it sounds familiar.

[One of the incarnations of Chaos itself; though Ami is largely unaware of the shadows that lurk behind it.]

It's said to be a demon from the sun.

A demon from the sun? That sounds...similar to something out of legends in my home.
