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]

[Luke Skywalker just invited him over, Luke Skywalker just- guh.

He is going to die, just die.]


S... sure! Should I bring anything...?

[What does one bring to a tea-and-cake meeting with a Jedi Master?]
selfhelp: ([billy] omg he called me "friend wiccan")

[personal profile] selfhelp 2012-05-28 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Okay! I'll do that sometime, then!

[omg omg omg omg omg aaaaaaaa this is so exciting. It's all he can do not to rocket down the hall immediately. That might just be too eager.

He will do a quick teleport to the plaza, instead, and pick up some ice cream. It feels weird to just show up empty-handed. A short while later, he's knocking nervously on the Jedi Master's door.

....eeeeeee]

[He just shook Luke Sk- no, no, stop doing that, you look pathetic. It takes all his willpower not to squeak out his reply, but he isn't even going to bother stopping his idiotic grin. Nothing in the known universe could force that down.

This. Is. Awesome.]


It's. God. It's an honour, sir. I mean- thanks. For the invite.

[Awesome, and still pathetic. Guh. Hesitantly he offers out the little tub of dessert.]

I brought ice cream.

[Oh man oh man. He almost asks for coffee instead - his personal preference - but then it occurs to him that the last thing he needs is caffeine to make him more wired, so he nods, stepping into the apartment and trying not to stare in awe. It's probably not that spectacular as far as apartments go, it's more the fact that it's Luke Skywalker's apartment that just.

...God he is such a fanboy.]


Tea's great. And cake isn't the same without ice cream. Have you had it? ...Do they have ice cream in space?

[Oh wow, he's even got R2!? Billy kind of stares at the droid helplessly for a long moment, then crouches down to be more at eye-level, peering at every curve and flap and panel and guh this is amazing.]

Oh, uh... [....] Hey, R2. I'm Billy, I live down the hall.
selfhelp: ([billy] it's... kind of a brother thing)

[Oh, that sounds fair. Billy gives the droid one last look, brows lifting - he can't tell whether that was approval or what, but he isn't getting zapped, so that's something! - and then heads over to sit down, drumming his fingers against one of the teacups.]

Well, uh... it's not that exciting, compared to you, really. I'm sixteen, raised on Earth- New York, if you know anything about my world. My city was kind of a major place for super heroes to gather together - people with powers or tech that could help them fight evil and stuff - so I grew up a big fan of them, and all that cool sci-fi stuff. Like- you know, Star Wars.

[It feels awkward to call it that, knowing that he's talking to the man - the man, not the character, how crazy - who lived through all of it. Who seems more amused that he's a franchise than anything else. There's so much he could say right now, but he's fairly sure that most of it would just come off as embarrassing or ridiculously out of place.

He pointedly does not say that he used to have a bottle of Darth Vader shampoo in his shower or that Han Solo was his first fanboy crush.]

[It's to his credit that Billy doesn't immediately spit out the mouthful of cake he'd managed to bite down on before Luke said that. He very nearly inhales it, though, so for a moment all he can do is cough behind a fist. God... at this rate he should just come out of the closet about this whole super hero thing before hiding it gets him killed.

Still, Luke Skywalker, he's- he's one of the good guys. He's like an original good guy, before almost all of the super heroes even existed. He's someone trustworthy. Even if he technically didn't exist as a real person for Billy until like two weeks ago.]


Uh... k-kind of. I mean, I'm still in training, but... yeah.
selfhelp: ([billy] some serious thinking)

[Billy accepts the napkin, coughing quietly into it, then tries again.]

No, not exactly. I'm working with a team, and we're all mostly self-taught. We help each other, though, if that counts.

[He thinks it counts for a lot, personally, but the Jedi thing is all about masters and apprentices, so it might not mean that much.]
selfhelp: ([billy] I'll handle this myself.)

[Video]

[personal profile] selfhelp 2012-06-02 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Billy can't help but smile at that; it's nice to hear. At least some teachers are eager to get out there and help the next generation learn. He and his team are still fighting to be acknowledged by the super heroes they respect.]

I've uh- [He pauses, then coughs into a fist. Awkwardly.] ...There's books. On top of the movies. I've read most of them.
selfhelp: ([billy] are you breaking up with me?)

[Action] and then akai buried herself in the wikia hahaha

[personal profile] selfhelp 2012-06-04 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Billy pauses mid-sip at that question, brows lifting a little as he peers cautiously at Luke over his teacup. He's been down this road before, and it's not always a great idea.]

I... don't know about that. Hearing about the future when there's nothing you can do about it here... isn't that dangerous?
selfhelp: ([billy] the dreams are getting worse.)

[Action] it does help! but billy's well past that so I will sort that out.

[personal profile] selfhelp 2012-06-04 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ah.]

It's been almost thirty years since the third movie came out. There's... been a lot of books since then. I probably know more than you do by now.

[He pauses again, twiddling his thumbs a bit. Maybe it's best to leave it at that. He's really uncomfortable with the idea of sharing someone's future. Messing around with time travel when Kang the Conqueror had attacked was enough to warn him of the dangers of that.]

I won't say anything, though- if... if I meet him. I promise. No one should have to hear all of that.

]Jacen and Jaina, but not Anakin 2.0. Billy nods slowly as the names are listed off, lips pursing. Some of those are old, and the memories are a little foggy, but not so much that he can't recognize them. Okay, so that at least gives him a guideline of what he is going to be damn well sure to avoid talking about.]

Yeah... I know about that stuff. Sorry, this must be really awkward to hear- some strange kid knowing all these things about your life...

[Maybe he should have just avoided it.]
