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.

But... where's Luke's head?

His body? I...think its here, and that mine was Shifted into his. If you're referring to his mind and voice? They're in mine. Like before, this body has two spirits, not one.

I... I think I get it now. I hope Luke ends up okay. It's nice to get to meet you, though, Nomi Sunrider.

Its nice to speak to you too, Aang. Please, just call me Nomi. I think Luke will be just fine.

[She pauses before going on]

Do you...think you could help me out? I'm not sure I'm able to get back from the lake by myself. I'm rather drained, and more than a little dehydrated. Would it be too much trouble for you to bring some water out here?

Oh... of course, Nomi! I'll head over to you as soon as I can, with the freshest water I can find!

Thank you, Aang. Also, can you tell me the date?

Today's July 2nd.

[Nomi quietly mumbles to herself]

Only two days

[He doesn't notice her mumbling, and he quickly gathers a few bottles of water that he attaches to his belt. Then he takes off on his glider, scouting the lake for a sign of the woman.]

[Nomi is resting on the lake shore, sitting in the sun in her New Feather dress. At least the Malnosso had given her proper female clothing instead of just pants. That would have been embarrassing.

When she spots him overhead, she stands, waving up at him]

Good day to you, Aang.

[He comes to a landing and he holds up the first water bottle before withdrawing his glider into staff form.]

Good day to you as well, Nomi. [A bow.]

[Nomi takes the bottle and bows deeply in kind]

Thank you, I fear I've been at least two days without water. The Malnosso are not the kindest of keepers.

[She takes a drink, a long one, draining most of the bottle]

And with this heat...

I... I didn't know.

[He quickly uncorks the second water bottle and Waterbends the water out so that it floats above her. She's free to either drink immediately from it or use it to wash her face or whatnot.]

They're monsters. Have as much as you want.

[She smiles lightly and reaches up, taking a handful and splashing it on her face before finishing off the first bottle.]

That they are. Monsters, that is. But, what's to be expected from such people? At least they left me with clothes, though. The last time I woke up on a strange world I didn't even have that...

[She pinches the bridge of her nose again, as though she's trying to shake off a headache]

[He nervously averts his eyes at the "clothes" comment, but he maintains his hold on the water.]

Oh. [Pause] This kind of thing happen to you often?

Waking up in another person's body? No. Waking up in a strange land? That's more within the realm of belief. It happened to me personally twice, and to Luke at least as many times.

I see. You mean a world like Luceti, or just one of those other places you find in "space"?

I mean other planets, like in space.

I guess it would be weird to think that there are other places like this. Do you have a lot of neat space adventures?

[Nomi laughs, the inquisitiveness of youth reminding her of her own headstrong daughter]

Yes, I suppose I have had my fair share. But most of my adventures are on planets, not actually in space.

Oh, that's good to know. Space is kinda weird and scary. When you're just traveling on land, I feel like I can relate better.

Have you been to space?

Yeah, not too long ago. The Malnosso... they made us fight a war on the moon.

On the moon? Oh...the most recent draft, yes. Master Kenobi mentioned it went well. Tell me Aang, what did you think of space?

It's big, dark, cold and scary. There aren't even any stars. The moon was... kind of pretty. If we didn't have to fight there, I might have loved it.
