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 earns a chuckle.]

Good thing there's not then--we don't need you working any harder than you have to right yet.

[There's just a second before Ami hurries a few steps to catch up. She smiles quietly to herself: Luke and Nomi really are similar.]

Luke said something like that a little while ago.

Yes, its bad enough to have a land of rogues and scoundrels and pretty young doctors. The last thing we need is for the Sith to come in and make it worse.

Did he now? I wonder why that was?

[A half smile, knowing...]

I think it would be because he wants to take care to heal properly. [Right? Right?]

[He raps a hand on the wall.] Knock on wood, Nomi. It's getting to be that time of the season again.

We can only assume.

[A conspiratorial smirk]

Oh...by the Force it is isn't it?

[She shrugs]

I'm not worried. My powers have begun to return. And I have my lightsaber.

It is.

[He chuckles, and takes a grateful bite of his sandwich.]

Good and good. After last month, we have no idea what's gonna happen now. This isn't a time to show any weakness, unfortunately.

No, no it isn't.

[Nomi takes a sip of her drink, iced tea.]

The battle was intense.

Edited 2012-07-06 00:20 (UTC)

I haven't heard much about the battle on this front, honestly. Only scraps of info, like the building damage and the lack of repairs.

...Ami ordered Daisy to stay down, though Daisy didn't say why. I can imagine how intense it must have been.

Extremely so. Many were injured, and from what I saw a being called Hulk did a number on several buildings. There were quite a few droids, too.

[It's a comfortable assumption. Ami takes a quick glance at Nomi to be sure she isn't tiring yet, and keeps herself following Nomi's pace.]

When we arrive, please rest right away. I'll take care of the rest.

[That earned a smirk as he remembered his daring plan with the Hulk during the mission onboard the Tyr's Revenge.]

Of course he did. Jolly Green likes to smash things!

...those droids, were they the old or the new model?

[She isn't, not yet.]

Of course. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing.

Are you friends with that creature? And old droids. There were a handful of new ones that I thankfully avoided.

...I shot him at Cultists once. [There's a sly grin.]

But that confirms things then. The new ones are more complicated to make, even if they involve cloning. The level of tech that must go into those things...

You...what?

[Excuse her a moment, and Luke as well]

[griiiiiining~]

It was on that boat mission I took a few months back, where Law was kind of our captain. We were being swarmed by Cultists, and there was this trebuchet...

I'm terrible in combat, but I do have good ideas sometimes.

We can rest by the fountain. It's a nice place, and everything you could need is close to there.

"Perhaps not as well as I should like, but Luke does a great deal to rectify that."

[He offers a small smile in response.]

"I fear my accomplishments pale in comparison to yours."

Do not sell yourself short, Master Kenobi. Different times call for different sorts of people. My galaxy was much more savage than yours.

[It certainly seemed savage when he remembered it. Hiding from an entire empire that wished him dead, living in isolation on a barren desert rock, trying to protect his dearest friend's son- from that same friend, who would kill him and do far worse to the son if he found them.

Dismembering that same friend in self-defense. Watching him burn.

There was nothing civil left in the galaxy he left behind. He felt it burn with Anakin's flesh.]

"Perhaps you are right. There is some comfort in the knowledge that, ultimately, I will be successful, as Luke's survival and status attests."

That's clever, I'll grant you. Did it go well?

That sounds nice. I'm just hoping that my presence isn't too disruptive for the other residents, or Luke.
