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.

What'll... happen then?

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

[He figured that, but he was concerned about Nomi. Even if that should have also been obvious.]

I see. I... feel honored that I get to meet you, Nomi.

And I feel the same for you, Aang. Its rare to meet someone like you. To have such great power at such a young age, and to remain so kind? That is truly a rare thing.

T-thank you. It helps that I've known such great people.

I'm sure. Having companions of good moral standing is essential in the development of anyone in a position of power.

That's true. The monk who raised me and all the friends I made after coming out of the iceberg... I wouldn't have been like a hero without them.

Like a hero?

[Such humility...]

Aang, were you born in my world you would make an excellent Jedi.

That's... thanks, it's really great to know. And you and Luke have the right mentality to be good air nomads or an Avatar.

Our philosophies seem similar, that is certain.

Tell me about the Avatar, Aang, I'm curious what it means to be one.

The Avatar is someone who can master all four elements. He or she acts as mediator for the four nations, helping to keep the world in balance and at peace. The Avatar's also the bridge between the physical world and the spiritual world, to make sure that the spirits aren't displeased with the acts of man. And past lives of the Avatar are all there in the Spirit World to give their advice and insights from their own lifetimes.

Most curious, Aang. Do you enter the Spirit World? Or does it seek you out in dreams and visions?

It's a little of both! Most of the time I have to meditate to reach it, but sometimes spirits come into the physical world. And there have been times when I've been contacted in dreams.

That is intriguing. It sounds at least somewhat like how Jedi interact with the Force. There isn't another world, but sometimes it speaks to us.

That's real interesting. And it's good to know. It must act as a great guide.

At times. At other times it is silent. But it's a good way to look at things.
