9th Transmission: Walking a mile in another Jedi's shoes [Action/Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

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."

[Action]

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.

[It might not have been much more shocked than Ami. That voice, that appearance in the picture window of the journal, all of it was, well, not Luke as she knew him. But of course, the message itself explained that, and she shook her head quickly to clear it before answering with a voice message herself.]

Luke?! [She didn't, quite, moderate the surprise in her voice.] Luke, are you alright? [Clothes, water, painkillers...] I can bring those things, if you want. I can come to the lake right now.

[Let's see...] Ah, but, what about size, for the clothes?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

[...Something's off.]

...Luke?

Can't help you at the lake, so [Action]

[There was something strange about Luke's voice during the audio feed from earlier that left Lupin more than a little concerned--but he couldn't get out there without needing assistance himself. Instead he waited, and listened carefully as he struggled to retrain his sense of balance through the overlying vertigo. With every movement as a possible trigger, there was no safe and secure way to do this. All he could do was put on his glasses as a physical reminder and power through for now.

Sitting and resting would do nothing.

It was the afternoon when he got himself together enough to head down to Luke's apartment, having slept through the initial broadcast and most of the morning. The walls were support enough, and would have to do until he could get himself back on track. He didn't want to think about how long that would take.

He knocked three times in succession on the door before opening it and leaning heavily on the frame. One hand held his head in a vain attempt to keep everything still.]

Hey, Luke. You here?

[Voice]

[selfhelp]

[Okay, yeah, that particular claim results in the fastest double-take Billy can ever recall making.]

....L-Luke Skywalker!?

[WHY IS HE A SHE]

[Action] July 3rd, morning

[fleurdesel]

[Since Luke had been released Adele has made a point to visit him every morning to discuss and further contemplate that single phrase. When he'd been missing the day before she'd been...worried. But. Attempted a day's contemplation on her own. If he was still missing today, well. She'll contact Ben, contact Lupin. One of them would have answers.

'There is no emotion, only peace'. At first it was odd, antithetical, and smacked too much of apathy for her peace of mind but...the longer she considered it, the more they spoke? The more she came to understand it. She's tempered herself bit by bit. It's a slow process, and it will continue to be a slow process but they are making progress.

It's something of a relief.

And something of a surprise to look for Luke and instead see Nomi.]

...Master Sunrider?

[averybadfeeling]

[Obi-Wan is just coming in from his morning run when he sees-

... oh dear. That must be...]

"Master Sunrider, I presume?"

[withnofear]

[With Ami going out to retrieve Luke, Anakin waited patiently back at the apartment. Well, as patient as he could be. When he couldn't sit still any longer he moved on to tinker with R2 for a while. He was anxious and worried about whatever condition Luke may be in after being taken. Besides suddenly sounding female anyway.

When Luke does finally make it back to the apartment Anakin moves toward the door to greet him.]

Luke—ah.

[Only to pause. Right. Female voice. It was still Luke though, wasn't it? I mean it was him who made the transmission earlier. Still, Anakin gives her a questioning look.]

[action, July 4th!]

[folklorist]

[ Today is July fourth back at home not that Helios typically celebrates it all that much. But it is a holiday and it is a nice day out so Helios will be outside by the fountain with a delicious cone of ice cream and a small little cup of it for Luminair, because dragons need to stay cool too.

He will pause in his eating when he sees Nomi...and just look away but only after thinking it rude he'll call out in greeting. ] N-Nomi?

[Action - Backdated to the 3rd]

[In the bustle of getting the debris around the village sorted out Sabriel has been keeping pretty busy, generally out in the town helping out at the restaurant until she returns home to work on moving the tree limbs out from around House 44. On this particular day Sabriel is heading out from her shift at Seventh Heaven when Luke/Nomi passes by.

Were it not for the familiar prickle of power Sabriel can sense from the woman she might have let it go but there were only a handful of Jedi in Luceti and she had met all of them, even Luke's father in passing. But this...this sort of power was old and strong, something Sabriel had only felt once before.]

...Ms...Sunrider?
