11th Transmission: Seasonal Shifts [Video/Action] (Action Forward Dated Oct. 13)

[In the mid-morning Luke broadcasts a Video feed through the journal system. He stands squarely in front of the camera and speaks in a clear voice. It was a simple, fairly quick message that was open to anyone willing to listen. The seasons were changing and the first real cold snap couldn't be too far away. That meant...harvest time.]

Good morning everyone, this is Luke Skywalker and like usual I've got quite a lot of things to address. Please bear with me, this might get a little lengthy.

First, as this New Feather Cycle comes to a close I would like to welcome every newcomer to our little purgatory. I know things may seem confusing, and I'd like to offer my help to anyone that needs it. I'm willing to help however I can to make your transition as easy as I can, should you require medical assistance, need help moving heavy things, or even just need someone to talk to, feel free to contact me.

Secondly, I would like to thank Doctor Eggman for his instrumental assistance with the farm. He has been an invaluable help towards keeping everything watered and growing smoothly. His hard work has kept the farm running while I have been preoccupied.

Third, if anyone is available to help this weekend, I would greatly appreciate assistance in bringing in the final harvest of the farm's produce. We managed to actually grow quite a lot, and I'd like to make sure it all gets brought in before the frosts set in. I'll be out there all day on Saturday, and while I have some mechanical aid, more hands or hooves would definitely speed the process up quite a bit. Related to that, the food harvested will be added to shops, as well as preserved and stored where we can manage to find room. I've always felt that it's better to have too much food set aside for emergencies than just enough. [He chuckles]

Finally, I'd like to close with a question, as so many people often do. How do people prepare for winter in your world? I admit that this will be my second winter in Luceti but I've never actually been present for a seasonal shift from autumn to winter. I'm from a desert world, so we have very little in the way of actual winter weather.

Thank you for bearing with me, and may the Force be with you.

[End Transmission]

Action:

[Saturday, Luke and Eggman are out and about at the farm, doing their best to collect the harvest with a small flotilla of heavily modified training remotes that have Eggman-style arms attached to pick things. Eggman, of course, is doing zero manual labor, but he's programming robots and maintaining them. A Bantha with large buckets is used to transport the food to the village for storage and consumption, as well as a repulsor-sled. If anyone wants to help with the harvest, the Jedi and the Inventor would definitely appreciate the help.]

(OOC: Tag wherever you'd like and if its an action portion feel free to tag around or thread hop like its a log. I can't promise I'll answer every harvest tag with Luke, but I will try. If you'd like to handwave that your character helped harvest, thats fine too! Lets get all Harvest Moon up inz!)

[Luke is strong to have survived all that and come through it so well.]

It's different for me. Some day, I'd like to see a glacier. [Aside from pictures on the internet or in travel books, this is unlikely to happen. But it would certainly count as something she's never done before or seen before.]

Well, I'm grateful. Rare that I lose my temper like that.

[Right, Jedi. His life has become very very strange and there's nothing really to focus him or drag him back when he's about to do something stupid.]

I'm willing to take anything like that as a win at the moment.

Reasonable or not, I'd hate to be stuck in a place like that with enemies.

What do you think happened to all those people..?

Why not new wings then? It makes a lot more sense since I don't think all the wings have feathers, but it seems like everyone has wings. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Brook, musician extraordinaire of the straw hat pirates, the humming swordsmen, and the artist formerly known as Soul King! Yohohoho!

[Brook gives an elaborate bow and a tip of his hat.]

So that's what the force is? I was always wondering if anyone ever had an official name to it. I've heard of names for it like, chi, or just spiritual energy, but the force certainly has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

I'm just curious. Besides, to be able to see one, I'd have to go somewhere I've never seen before.

Not the biggest enemy, but... the most personal.

[He shouldn't be entrusting this much to a relative stranger, but he doesn't think Luke is the type to betray a confidence or use it against him.]

Our encounter in my own world left him with...

He knows everything about me. Every last detail, every secret, every part of myself I ever tried to get away from. I've made a life out of keeping myself hidden, keeping secrets. Not something I'm used to dealing with.

You wouldn't mind the weather, and going back there, if it was just for a little while?

Has anyone ever thought of renaming the term? We could start a revolution to change the name so that it's new wings rather than new feather! Yohohoho! But I'm getting a bit distracted here... where was I? Ah! The straw hat pirates is the group of pirate led by captain Luffy, who as the name suggests, wears a distinctive straw hat. I believe it was passed down to him by the legendary pirate Red Hair Shanks. Regardless, we're a small band of pirates consisting of 9 members. My captain, Luffy, Zoro, the first mate, Nami, our talented navigator, Usopp, our sharpshooter, Sanji, our fine chef, Chopper our excellent doctor, Robin our charming archaeologist, Franky, our eccentric shipwright, and of course, yours truly! Yohohoho!

[He takes a long sip of tea after saying all that. Aren't you glad you asked?]

Are you sure the force is only found in your home? It sounds like a much grander... force than simply that. But perhaps I'm simply overestimating it. Although I know one thing, it's a little hard for the force to be with someone if it doesn't exist anywhere else but your home. Yohohoho!

[With that laugh, she can't entirely shut her mind to the double entendre, intentional or no.]

Luke! [Ami's face flares crimson.]

[That's not what he'd been expecting, an honest offer of assistance. But he's already said more than he ever meant to.

He's a little taken aback by the offer.]


I... maybe. Thanks for... for not laying into me. It's appreciated.

That's the one! Yohohoho! I thought you may have met one of us, with so many of us living in this place. Apparently I lived here a few times too, although I don't have any recollection of my previous visit.

Ahh, so it's a matter of controlling it that you were speaking of? It could perhaps be that you have to be born with a certain amount of the force in you to wield it? Or perhaps it requires some sort of enhancer like a special diet? Yohohoho! Eating lots of force fruits and vegetables! Yohohoho!
