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.

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.

Yes, I'm sorry that your first time there was for war. Space, well, its something I take for granted.

It is? How's that?

Think about it Aang. I've called my home the Galaxy. I come from a planet, and travel to other planets regularly. Luke does too. We have ships, like the one you took to the moon, and we use them to travel.

Oh, so... you don't think about how amazing it is?

Not...like I used to. I'm an old woman, Aang.

But you look real young.

Jedi age slower than normal people. When I made the Holocron that Luke found my spirit in, I was forty-five.

Oh. I see where you're coming from. I'm 114.

I'd believe it. [It takes a lot to phase her]

I suppose, really, I'm nearly 5,400 years old, but I wasn't conscious for most of that.

Oh, that.... that is a lot. I'm actually only that age because I was frozen for a hundred years, so I know what it's like to be asleep for a real long time. Or actually don't know, because of being unconscious.

Remember, I'm a ghost.

That I can't relate to. It's easy to forget when you're so... here.

Blame the Malnosso. I'm sure it'll wear off in time.

What'll... happen then?

If everything is consistent with other experimental shifts? Luke will go back to being Luke.
