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)

"After speaking with Captain Rogers, I'm no longer as troubled by his death, but there were many aspects of the draft that I found... unbalancing. I did not wish to trouble you while you were still coping with Ami's recovery, of course."

[He frowns.]

"I used violence to subdue Korras Blake. He had not yet refused conversation, but I was concerned that he would flee and that I would be unable to pursue him, and..."

[He considers it for a moment. It was not precisely a new emotion, but one he hadn't experienced in a long, long time.]

"I believe I reacted out of panic, rather than out of sound judgment."

[Luke listens, leaning back in his chair and running his hands down his legs. He regards Obi-Wan in silence for a moment before answering.]

You did what was necessary to save the most lives possible. Blake was a hostile element in the past, and you're probably right in thinking he would flee.

Perhaps you did react in a panic. But that doesn't mean what you did was wrong. Biohazard situations are bad enough, but when you have people you care for on the line, you're dealing with a known antagonist, and you've been cut off from the Force?

I can't say I would've reacted any differently. I'd probably have shot him on sight.

[He nods.]

"You're right. Cut off from the Force, perhaps I should not have expected so much of myself."

[There's a pause, then he smile slightly.]

"It seems to be easier for me to cast aside my guilt and self-doubt of late. Already I feel better."

[He turns toward Luke.]

"How has Ami been recovering?"

[Luke nods in approval]

It's good to hear that, I was worried you'd taken all of that onto yourself. Doing what is necessary, to preserve the most lives, is entirely proper.

[He leans back and regards the question]

Physically, she's improving. A little weak, and drained from the infection but otherwise alright. But, neither one of us can sleep well unless I put us into a meditative trance with the Force.

[He shudders]

There are too many nightmares, for her and myself. I'm doing what I can to keep them at bay.
