thefinaljedi | 9th Transmission: Walking a mile in another Jedi's shoes [Action/Voice]

Groaning, Luke Skywalker rolled over in the warm sun of an early morning. Sitting up, he squeezed the bridge of his nose, blinking all around him. He was out by the lake, and he was still in Luceti. All he could remember was being woken from sleep by a loud banging at his window, and then blackness. Something felt off, that was sure, but he wasn't sure what. Shakily, he got to his feet and dazedly made his way over to the lake.

As he...looked into the lake, her jaw dropped, eyes widening. A female face stared back with the same shocked look, clad in New Feather garb. A familiar face, that of Grandmaster Sunrider, greeted him. To his further surprise the reflection began to speak, echoing through his mind. When it finished, things were a lot clearer. And so was her mind. Turning away from the water, Nomi Sunrider stared at the journal on the ground in front of her. Deep in the back of their mind, Luke Skywalker nodded in agreement. There wasn't much else to be done, if Luke was to be in control it would tax both of them. He knew she'd slipped him into a trance to spare him the pain of experimentation, and now she was willing to take his responsibilities until whatever the Malnosso had done could be undone.

Taking the journal, Nomi opened it up and Luke sent out a message in a distinctly...female voice. They agreed that not everyone needed to know what was going on...at least right away.

[Voice]
"Greetings residents of Luceti. This is Luke Skywalker, and...I'm having a bit of a situation. I was taken by the Malnosso, and I'm feeling a little weak. I am out by the lake, and if anyone could bring a spare suit of clothing, some water, and some pain killers I would be in your debt."

Later that afternoon, and all week, Luke/Nomi can be found around the village. Its pretty weird, even for a Jedi, so...expect lots of confusion and mostly to be speaking to Nomi. Feel free to poke at them throughout the week, just denote a day.

That's true. I just wanted to do the figuring on my own...

[ Helios blinks and then just laughs at that. ] I-I'd imagine I might be a bit too sweet for its tastes.

[ Another small laugh as he runs a hand through his hair. ]

And why is that, dear?

[She smiles right back]

[ Helios looks a bit sheepish when he gives a small shrug. ] Ah w-well you know. I-I do love my sweets is all.

[In the bustle of getting the debris around the village sorted out Sabriel has been keeping pretty busy, generally out in the town helping out at the restaurant until she returns home to work on moving the tree limbs out from around House 44. On this particular day Sabriel is heading out from her shift at Seventh Heaven when Luke/Nomi passes by.

Were it not for the familiar prickle of power Sabriel can sense from the woman she might have let it go but there were only a handful of Jedi in Luceti and she had met all of them, even Luke's father in passing. But this...this sort of power was old and strong, something Sabriel had only felt once before.]

...Ms...Sunrider?

[Nomi Sunrider turned at the mention of her name, and her eyes lit up. She remembers you, little lady]

Sabriel. How nice to see you again.

Likewise.

[So she was right. Sabriel blinks in surprise for a moment longer before dipping her head in greeting as she steps up better talk with the woman.]

If I may ask, where is Luke?

Luke is here, with me. The...Malnosso switched us. Yesterday.

I haven't done anything! [This... is entirely not what Nomi had meant, and at least Ami's done isn't defensive, but the conversation is putting thoughts of things couples might do into her head.]

[Nomi just laughs and keeps walking]

You really are quite charming, you know that?

Haha, so you are a confectioner as well as a wizard?

Well, when you have a resource, why not use it? Pride only makes things worse, you know.

[She has the feeling she's being laughed at for her outburst, albeit gently and perhaps even kindly, so Ami dips her head in slight embarrassment.]

I wasn't trying to say anything strange.

Habit.

[It was something he understood on an intellectual level, but he was so stubborn and independent that he insisted on doing everything he could on his own. Normally his friends were around if there was a snafu. Jigen was there on the guns, the wheels, and whatever else he needed for an assist; Goemon's sword was among the most reliable he had ever encountered when the blade wasn't directed toward him; Fujiko always pulled through in the end, with more help than any of them bargained for, no matter how cold and callous she seemed during the initial planning phases.

His network wasn't in Luceti, save for Fujiko. It took years for him to fully adjust to the presence of his partners, and even then he always held back a detail here or there. They accepted it. The four of them accepted each other, for all of their flaws and quirks.]

...I have a lot of bad ones, I know. This is just a job I don't want getting out before the right time.

[Job. That's what it was to him, and so much more.]

Ah. W-Well I do tend to make my own sweets at times, yes. I just...have a bit of a sweet tooth.

[ 'A bit' is a very big understatement. ]

Oh? The more and more I get to know you, the more fascinated I get. Such a curious, peculiar man you are.

[ Helios gives a sheepish laugh at those words.] Oh, n-no. I-I'm not that, that interesting. Just, just an ordinary man. Nothing too fascinating, really.

Come now, and let an old woman flatter you.

[A cheeky smirk in response indicates that she's just messing]

Switched you? [That doesn't sound good at all but Nomi appears to be doing alright.]

Is he...are you both alright?

Yes. We're both fine. Here, he'd like to say something.

[And slowly from behind a nearby building Luke Skywalker walks into view. A projection, but still...]

Its fine Sabriel. This should be only temporary.

Luke!

[Blinking in surprise at the projection Sabriel glances between her friend and the woman she was standing beside.]

How are you doing that?

The Force. I'm projecting an image of myself. Its solid, but it can't really be damage or interacted with on a meaningful level. Its just easier for me to talk to you this way I think.

[She nods with a thoughtful frown, feeling a little pang of guilt.]

I...didn't know the Malnosso had taken you. So this is a Shift of theirs.

I was only gone for a day. Its alright, no need to worry.

[Luke's projection puts a very solid hand on her shoulder]

How are you, Sabriel?

[ Just a sputter Nomi, just a sputter and an embarrassed look. He takes compliments oh so well doesn't he? Not. ] Y-You don't have to d-do that! I, ah, h-haven't really warranted being given flattery at least.
