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.

Fair enough. Now, have you roped Anakin into it?

I have. It seemed like he needed a project, and I'm aware of some of his problems. It's better for him to have something to do around here.

Have him construct your heater then. That would have been MY first thought.

That's true. I just wanted to do the figuring on my own...

Well, when you have a resource, why not use it? Pride only makes things worse, you know.

Habit.

[It was something he understood on an intellectual level, but he was so stubborn and independent that he insisted on doing everything he could on his own. Normally his friends were around if there was a snafu. Jigen was there on the guns, the wheels, and whatever else he needed for an assist; Goemon's sword was among the most reliable he had ever encountered when the blade wasn't directed toward him; Fujiko always pulled through in the end, with more help than any of them bargained for, no matter how cold and callous she seemed during the initial planning phases.

His network wasn't in Luceti, save for Fujiko. It took years for him to fully adjust to the presence of his partners, and even then he always held back a detail here or there. They accepted it. The four of them accepted each other, for all of their flaws and quirks.]

...I have a lot of bad ones, I know. This is just a job I don't want getting out before the right time.

[Job. That's what it was to him, and so much more.]
