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.

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)

[Action]
[Pardon him if that strikes his as super odd]
[Action]
[What's so odd about that?]
[Action]
[Action]
Actually, my world remains largely very safe.
[Action]
[Pardon him, he grew up on a world where there's no surface water]
[Action]
Not to mention trainers are not allowed to go out into the wild without at least one Pokemon. They serve as protection as well.
[Yeah, Lance's world is probably a utopia compared to Luke's.]
[Action]
[Because he knows for sure that there are plenty of people, anywhere, who're willing to take from others and hurt them in the process.]
[Action]
Not exactly. We do have some crime, most notably through organizations such as Team Rocket. They are the types to steal, abuse, and use Pokemon to their own ends. Mostly for world domination. Giovanni... is actually the former leader of Team Rocket.
[Action]
I figured he was something like that. The suits, and his attitude...it made me think of criminal elements in my world. I suppose it's for the best I didn't press to hard.
Every world has it's underside though. It's just human nature.
[Action]
[Yeah he has no idea. But Lance again sighs and nods.]
That's true, but I feel in comparison to some other worlds, we have been rather fortunate.
[Action]
[Luke offers an apologetic look]
You do seem fortunate, but that's nothing to feel bad about. Your world's peace is something we all strive for. It's nice to see it, honestly.
[Action]
I suppose you're right, however, this past draft was quite the... shock. ... And what is the Force?
[Action]
[He smiles at the question]
The Force is an energy field projected by all life. It's a philosophical concept and power from my world. It's something that guides us, and something certain individuals can manipulate or feel.
[Action]
Is that so. And you can tap into it, even here?
[Action]
[Action]
Amazing. If it's present here, and you can feel it in us, that would make sense.
[Action]
[He gestures to the Dragonite and smiles]
You say you develop a bond of understanding with your Pokemon, yes? In my world, some Force sensitives develop bonds with animals as well. In theory, at least, it could be that Pokemon develop bonds through the Force in your world. You may have different words to describe it, but the parallel is there.
[Action]
Yes, I can see that. If that were the case, I would certainly say that Pokemon have a stronger connection to it than us humans. Pokemon are amazingly sensitive to various elements in nature and to each other. They are amazing creatures that even we have yet to fully understand.
[Action]
[Luke rubs his own chin, thinking]
May I try something with your Pokemon? I'd like to attempt to speak into it's mind a bit.
[Action]
Dragonite?
[The dragon tilts his head curiously, looks at Lance, then over at Luke. He bobs his head in a nod.]
[Action]
He doesn't do anything intrusive like a Force Meld, he just tries to create a psychic link so that Dragonite can speak to him mentally.]
Can you understand human words? If you can, what do you think?
[Action]
I can. This is strange. I've never spoken to a human like this before.
[Action]
It's my power, the Force. Did you understand what we were talking about earlier?
[Action]
Yes, I was listening. Your power does feel... familiar. But it's also different.
[Action]
Energy from different worlds can be similar and different at the same time. That would make sense. It could mean that the Force has a parallel in your home, or that your power and mine spring from a common sources at some sort of...universal nexus.
