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.

[Nomi is far from the first person to tell Ami to be more direct. She's gotten better over the years. But speaking up for herself is one thing; something like this is different.]

I think... Luke and I will have to decide that and settle that for ourselves.

Of course, forgive an old woman her intrusion.

[She continues on, a soft smile playing across her lips]

There's nothing to forgive; it's alright. [In a very odd way, she supposes she truly can't blame Nomi for being curious, when she's been an unwitting witness to all of it anyway.

But it's still a bit embarrassing.]

It is not my place to pry into your dealings with my kind host.

[Nomi nods, glad that she's been forgiven all the same]

In this case, I understand it sort of couldn't be helped. Whatever's done in front of him, you've also seen. That wasn't your fault.

My dear, you've nothing to be embarrassed about. You've done nothing a normal young lady wouldn't do.

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?

[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.
