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.)

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.

To most people in my world, it would sound unbelievable and impossible. But we know it was true. We fought against allowing it to revive.

[Aside from when one of her tasks had been to help with its awakening. She pushes that thought away.]

Well, that is a noble accomplishment. By your tone, I take it that you defeated this creature, and...were perhaps at one point enslaved to it? I...apologize if that's stepping too far.

[It's not a difficult guess, from what she has said, and her attitude in speaking of it. Nevertheless, Ami glances away and her fingers curl tightly at her sides. She has to face it, but that's anything but simple. Or easy.]

I sold myself to it to be able to destroy my friends.

[Luke now offers an apologetic look. He...hadn't really thought when he said that. He doesn't need to know more]

Well...clearly it worked out in the end. You aren't trapped by it anymore, the same as I am no longer controlled by Palpatine. The Dark Side...in any world...has an allure that is inescapable. Falling, and then being able to step back proves your humanity.

It proves I could hurt them. Even though I know it's the past, and I know they forgave me, I think about it sometimes.

Another mark of humanity. Its good to think on it, but not good to dwell.

[For emphasis, he'll put a comforting hand on her shoulder, and just nod towards the door]

Now...why don't we go out and get some sun? Staying indoors on a nice day like this is only going to fuel depressing thoughts.

[Ami is quick to nod, and agree.]

I'd like that. We can take a walk while the weather is nice. Maybe we could even stop by the bakery.

[He'll walk out, leading the way into the light of day]

Sounds good.

Unless you'd rather not have too many sweets? [She isn't the sweet-toothed one of the group, but she does enjoy them.]

I don't mind sweets. I'd be happy to share a pastry or two with you.

[He grins, leading the way to the bakery.]

I'd like that. What kinds do you like? [She falls into step quite easily, with a glance and a smile up at Luke.]

I like danish. Quite a bit, actually. How about you?

I'm fond of blueberry pastries.

Blueberry? That sounds good. Lets go for that.

[He should've guessed]

It's alright if it's something else, too; you don't have to be polite.

Well, I don't think I've ever had blueberry before, so...it'll be something new.
