Eighth Transmission: A Jedi turns 30. [Action/Voice, Forward Dated to May 24th]

Action

[Today, Luke is fairly active and out and about. The sleeping troubles caused by the possessive ghost of Nomi Sunrider were getting him down, but for the time being the ancient Jedi in his head seemed content to let him have THIS day. He wakes up quite early, and instead of his usual exercises and meditation, he can instead be found at the item shop, riffling through a myriad of junk like he does periodically, checking for objects from home. Today, he's feeling particularly lucky, and...as luck would have it he finds something. A package of cards, with strange, circular cards covered in Corellian script. Pocketing them, he makes his way around to the bakery, picking up a few pastries, and even sits down in the tea house, thumbing through the cards with a happy look on his face.

Eventually he makes his way home, stopping to pick up food from a shop. When he gets home he takes great pains to clean the entire house, with the help of R2D2 and a trio of small remote droids that he'd finally finished constructing.]


[Voice: failed filter to Leia Organa Solo]

Leia, I know this transmission won't reach you, but it wouldn't feel right to not send it. Happy Birthday. Give my warmest regards to Han and the kids.

[Voice: sometime during the early afternoon]
Good afternoon everyone. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who's helped me cope with the troubles I've been having these past few weeks. They seem to have subsided for the moment.

Also, today is my thirtieth birthday. I'm not really sure what birthdays mean in your worlds, but in mine it is a day for family and friends to get together and have a meal. Most of my family is not here, but I would very much like it if people would stop by and share some sort of food with me. Anyone is welcome, as I'm always glad to make new acquaintances, and its considered auspicious to make friends on one's birthday. I'm happy to prepare food from my home, as well, should anyone be curious enough to try it.

If you are available, my door will be open to anyone today. Community House 5, Room 24. I'd very much like to have people visit.

[With that, he closes the feed, the seal of the New Republic broadcasting for a brief moment]

To make a cake round you only need the right pan for it? Helios wasn't in to help me with this so I...did the best I could on my own.

[She shrugs, laughing a little herself.]

There is a tradition on my planet where one blows out a candle on one's birthday cake and makes a wish.

I left the candles at home, however.

...icing. It. It is supposed to be icing- but I may have used either the wrong ratio of ingredients or the wrong kind of sugar. It's supposed to be thick like fudge not. Soup.

...Sugar. I swear I used sugar. I do not know what went wrong with the cake- but I followed instructions! To the letter. I did just as I was told, if I misunderstood something-

It's not that funny, Luke.
fleurdesel: center, sad, angry, serious, confused (You are terrible)

It's not. Funny.
fleurdesel: left, laugh, smile, (Some time to laugh)

[personal profile] fleurdesel 2012-05-24 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I have never had such difficulty following simple instructions before. This failure is not funny.


...

It's hilarious.
fleurdesel: right, laugh (This is some kind of surprise)

[The cake might be terrible, and it might be mortifying, but she's made Luke laugh like an idiot and that's worth the mortification.

She grins, covers her mouth with a hand, and laughs right along with him.]

Happy birthday. Your gift is the gift of laughter, and a terrible, horrendous cake.

...

We could have Lupin taste it, make certain it won't make anyone sick.
fleurdesel: left, smile, smirk, sarcastic (Try saying that again?)

I agree, that would be the better option. If I made Lupin sick he'd never let me live it down, nor would he forgive me.

[Tentative, she edges back to the box to peer inside.]

I'd be a terrible Sith, Luke, and you know it.

It'd be so exhausting, I should think- but passion? [She snorts a laugh.] My ex husband would argue the point with you there. He found me most dispassionate, if anything.

[Then, Nomi. That...bit of weirdness. Luke seems to have a handle on her, though. She can't say she's entirely comfortable with the idea but. He's not hurt by it. Yet.]

You two are...[A very vague hand gesture.] Doing. Well?
