thefinaljedi | 13th Transmission: A Year in Review. [Action/Voice]

[Early that morning, Luke rolls out of bed quietly so as not to wake Ami from her Force trance and set about his day. It was a strange thing, really, getting up in the morning and heading into a routine. The week of dreamless sleep had done him a world of good, keeping back nightmares from the draft. Things were getting better. A light breakfast follows, filling the house with smells if housemates are feeling peckish.

For the early part of the day the Jedi went through his typical morning routine. A run around the village, complete with some rather extreme Parkour has him breathing pretty heavy. He stops by the Bakery for a bit of brunch, and then makes his way to the Battle Dome for a bit of practice. Around lunchtime, he can be found at Seventh Heaven and the square before heading out to the Farmland to check on Hamal before heading back to town.

Sometime in the late afternoon, he sends out a Voice message:]

Afternoon everyone, and greetings to any New Feathers who may be listening. As always, I'd like to offer whatever assistance I can. If you need help with something, please let me know.

I've got a bit of a question for anyone who's willing to listen. Is there anything particularly special you do for the end of your first year here? I arrived one year ago, today. And to be honest it's the longest I've spent on a single planet in over a decade. I've got to admit it's a bit of an odd feeling for me.

I've also been curious about people's travel experiences. Have any of you visited other worlds? Or even other continents on your own homeworld? If you haven't, why not?

And on a final note, I regret to inform everyone that Doctor Eggman has returned home again. He was a great help with the farm, and a good friend.

[A few filtered messages follow]

[Filtered to Adele LeBlanc]

Adele, I haven't heard from you since we got back. Are you doing well? I've been worried.

[Filtered to Syre Atries]

Syre, I wanted to thank you for the notes you left a few weeks ago, and I've got something for you as a token of my appreciation. I can bring it by your apartment, or we can meet somewhere.

[Filtered to Pinkie Pie]

Pinkie, I was wondering if you could help me with something. It involves baking, and I'm not very good at it.

[Then he returns shuts the feed.]

(OOC: If you want to run into Luke somewhere, go for it. He'll be all over town today)

[Clint's heading into the Battle Dome for a few hours of shooting practice, stood near the computer and checking his equipment, when Luke leaves. He offers a friendly wave, looking him over quickly.]

Morning, Luke. How are you doing?

Good morning Clint.

[Luke salutes and walks over, wiping sweat away with a towel as he walks.]

I'm alright, how about yourself?

Glad to hear it.

I'm well enough. Trying to get back into some kind of routine.

Me too.

[He grinned and looked back at the room he'd exited]

What sort of program are you running?

[Clint grins back.]

I have a couple I use. One's a standard combat sim, moving targets. And I have a sniping program although getting it realistic and random enough is proving difficult.

Oh? What do you call a standard sim?

A mix of hand to hand and shooting would be normal for me. Plenty of armed targets. Aiming for efficiency and speed.

Ahhh, and what sort of targets? Just regular guys?

For the moment. That's what I'm used to. Think I'm going to have to switch it up soon though. Too many weird things coming up for me to stick with that.

Heh, why don't you try stormtroopers?

That's not a bad idea. I'm always up for a challenge.

Out of curiosity, you've seen those films, haven't you?

I think everyone has where I'm from. They're pretty famous.

Huh, I was wondering about that. Lots of people seem familiar with parts of my past. I've seen them myself.

I can program in some Imperial troops, but I should warn you. They're a lot more accurate than in the films.

Yeah? That's got to be a bit crazy. I can't imagine watching my life on screen like that.

I can imagine. I don't mind them being accurate. Prefer it.

It's not the worst thing ever, and it helped me get a better idea of what people know.

[He steps over to the console and taps out a few commands]

There, your regular guys will be interspersed with droids and imperial troops. Aim for the neck joints.

There is that. Still gotta be strange.

[He grins and nods.]

Arrows gonna work or do I need a gun?

Arrows should work, though I wouldn't try shooting them down a blaster barrel. They'll just melt it.

[That makes him smile.]

Not if I blow the arrow up first.

You'd be surprised, Clint.

[He smiles right back]

But if you want a real challenge...

You're right. It would take their hands off too. Messy.

I like challenges. Have to keep finding new ways to prove I'm the best.

Then I'll mix in a few surprises.

[Luke taps out a few commands, this time adding the random element of a Rancor beast]

I think you'll like this one

I'll look forward to it. I could use a good workout, especially if I'm going to be fighting aliens and zombies in future.

[When had his life come to this?]

Hopefully we'll have a distinct lack of Zombies in the future.

[He clasps his hands in front of him]

Never seen anything like that. Reminds me of Rakghouls, or other boogie-men like that.

That would be good. Yes.

[He figures that aliens are sort of a given for Luke considering.]

Rakghouls... never heard of them, but I can imagine they're not pleasant. Things like that, they're supposed to be stories.
