thefinaljedi | 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!)

Oh I see. So it's sort of an inherited gift too? Do you know who was the first in your family tree to be strong with the force? Or is it just untraceable? Or skips a generation?

... Sorry for all the questions, I'm just... Rather curious. This is all just so new and fascinating to me.

It can be, yes. And yes I do. My father. It rarely skips a generation, though.

And I don't mind, really. But I'm just as curious about you. How do you keep your hair...but be a skeleton?

Hmm... not as far back I was expecting, but interesting nonetheless. Can a lot of people in your world use the force the way you do? Or is it a more limited gift than that, like only one in a million have this ability?

Ah! Well as for that, my hair was rather deeply rooted in my skull. It's so strong, that it managed to stay on my head even after I died. I think part of how it stays there now might have something to do with my soul, but I can't quite be sure.

Less than that, typically only one in every five million. But in an entire galaxy? That's not as uncommon.

And, how is it you're still up and about even though you're dead?

One in five million?! How do you even find these people?

Oh! Right... Umm... Well you see, I sort of ate a cursed fruit, a devil fruit if you will. Have you ever heard of them? They're pretty rare in my world... actually come to think of it, they're probably rarer than people who can use the force in your galaxy. Yohohoho!

I have heard of them, actually. It means you can't swim, right? Doctor Law has one.

And we find Force Sensitive individuals through the Force, it guides us to them.

Yes... although his is a kind of weird one, I must admit.

[And when you're getting this from a skeleton with an afro, who asks to sees women's underwear, you just know it's got to be weird.]

That's kind of convenient. It's like a self propelling... umm... what's that word? Well what I was getting at is, it sounds rather handy! Yohohoho!

Yea, it really is.

[Luke shrugs]

It is and it isn't, it's never exactly precise. But it does help.
