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]

[Action] it does help! but billy's well past that so I will sort that out.
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.
[Action
[He's not trying to pry, but those would be the major events and players in his life sense the movies. He does need to get a general sense of what Billy knows, so he'll be able to more accurately gauge how to approach the boy, and get a sense of how accurate that timeline is.]
And I appreciate that. I've been trying to break it to Anakin slowly, over time.
[Action]
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.]
[Action]
[Luke shrugs]
Its not really important, I'm just mildly curious. Its sort of strange but I don't mind. So, what about you then? Do you have any powers of your own?
[Action]
Powers, though... how to explain those.]
Yeah, kind of. I mean, I do, I'm just not sure how to describe them. It's... magic. I can make things happen by, like... wishing for it. Basically.
[Action]

[Action]
[Billy half-stands, so eager is he to help, but he realizes at the last minute that, hello, this isn't his apartment. He has no idea where anything is. Which, of course, leaves him standing awkwardly with nothing to do.]
...Uh... spoons?
[And then, he blinks, hands lifting before Luke can respond.]
Actually, wait! C... can I try something?
[Action]
By all means, go for it.
[What could the boy be up to? He's not entirely sure, but he's prepared to be astounded!]
[Action]
Quietly and unhaltingly he starts to chant, making his intention obvious-]
"IwantspoonsIwantspoonsIwantspoonsIwantspoons-"
[His eyes and hands glow a bright blue, and after a moment, a pair of spoons phase into existence on the table between him and the ice cream. Only then does he release the magic. They're ordinary spoons, really, though whether they came from Luke's apartment or somewhere else, he can't tell.]
[Action]
Wow, Billy. That's quite something! I'm very, very impressed!
[Action]
Yeah, that's, um. That's basically what my magic can do.
[Action]
[Action]
[Feeling suddenly sheepish at wanting to show off for such a little thing, he offers out a spoon to Luke, tugging the lid open on the ice cream tub with his free hand. It would have been faster to just fetch them from a drawer, but he's had so few opportunities to use his magic in this place. He doesn't want to get out of practice.]
Help yourself. And you can keep whatever's left here. Since, uh. I didn't really get a gift.
[Action]
You did give me a gift, Billy. I said before that at home its considered auspicious to make new friends on one's birthday.

[Action]
[He pauses, then his tone shifts, slightly teasing.]
I hope you're not starting to feel old, saying stuff like that. Thirty is still pretty young.
[Action]
[Action]
[His tone takes a slightly somber note, there; he's been wondering how he might end up handling his own birthday, if he's still here by then. It's a lonely thought.]
