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)

[At that question Lance puts his hands in his pockets and heaves a sigh.]

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.

[Luke nods gravely in understanding]

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.

I see. You're a very perceptive man.

[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.

The Force guides my senses, but I appreciate it.

[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.

[Lance folds his arms and frowns lightly.]

I suppose you're right, however, this past draft was quite the... shock. ... And what is the Force?

I can only imagine what it was like for you. It was quite a shock for me and I'm from a world with a lot more history with war.

[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.

[Now Lance is the one that's intrigued.]

Is that so. And you can tap into it, even here?

Yes, I can. All living things are bound up in the Force. I can feel it in you, and your Pokemon. I've got no reason to doubt that it may be present in your world, though in a different way.

[Lance raises his brows at that. This is really fascinating.]

Amazing. If it's present here, and you can feel it in us, that would make sense.

Actually, it might be something you tap into without realizing it.

[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.

[Lance puts a hand to his chin and thinks about this.]

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.

That makes a great deal of sense, given what I've seen of them. They're more than just animals, and if they can do what you say they can do then they're definitely much more in-tune with themselves than humans. It could be plausible that the bonds you forge are the result of that.

[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.

[Lance nods his agreement to Luke's words. Though the question draws a blink. He then turns to look at the Pokemon next to him.]

Dragonite?

[The dragon tilts his head curiously, looks at Lance, then over at Luke. He bobs his head in a nod.]

[Luke closes his eyes and reaches out with the Force towards Dragonite's mind. His senses can feel the strength of the creature, and there is a subtle thrum of energy, at least.

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?

[Lance just watches quietly while Dragonite's eyes widen a little bit. The Pokemon can hear Luke's words and even replies.]

I can. This is strange. I've never spoken to a human like this before.

[Luke smiles warmly at the Pokemon, genuinely pleased]

It's my power, the Force. Did you understand what we were talking about earlier?

[Dragonite nods.]

Yes, I was listening. Your power does feel... familiar. But it's also different.

Edited 2012-11-13 02:28 (UTC)

[Luke speaks out loud, for Lance's benefit as well]

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.

[Again this gets Lance to thinking.]

I wonder if certain legendary Pokemon might know more about that.

[Dragonite nods several times at this.]

Yes, yes, I think so!

It presents interesting possibilities. Dragonite, I'm going to let the link go now. Thank you, and I look forward to speaking to you again.

[He keeps it active a bit longer so the Pokemon can respond, and then ends it, offering a handshake to it.]

Certain Pokemon, you said?

Me too!

[Because really that's kinda cool. Dragonite shakes Luke's hand happily. Lance smiles at this, glad to see Dragonite so pleased, although wishing he could talk to his Pokemon that way. But he and Dragonite already know each other very well, and he is content with that.]

There are Pokemon in my world that are one of a kind, and are a great deal more powerful. They're referred to as legendary Pokemon, and many of them are said to be masters over certain parts of our world. For example, there are two dragons that control time and space.

That's certainly possible then, if they've some mastery over power like that. The more I think about it, the more I'm seriously thinking that there is some sort of nexus-point or singularity where all realities collide. And perhaps shades of that point are where super and pseudonatural power comes from.

[He strokes his chin]

And it'd explain a lot about Luceti, too.

[Whoa. That's a bit too technical for Lance's mind to handle. He knows a lot of stuff about Pokemon, but stuff such as that? Not really. He gets the gist though.]

You mean you think all of our worlds are connected at some point, including this one? I suppose that could explain how we got here.

Exactly. I've started to think that maybe...reality, all reality, is one giant wheel, centered on an axis. A central point. It's possible that Luceti is part of that axis.

[He waves a hand all around them]

It'd explain a lot of things.

That's quite the theory. What would it explain?

[He hasn't exactly been here very long and doesn't know as much as Luke.]
