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

[thefinaljedi]

[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)

All there was for her to do was blush, just a bit, and dip into a bow. It was getting a little easier to look at Luke and not see someone from the films but, well. She was still a little in awe.

"I suppose that means I do not neglect it entirely as time goes on. I wonder if I still practice ballroom as well."

[action]

[thefinaljedi]

"No, you don't. There have been plenty of opportunities for you to dance in a ballroom setting here. I've seen you, and danced with you. It's pretty obvious that you still keep up with it," Luke answered quickly as he stood and crossed the room.

"Would you care to practice?"

"Really? That's...wonderful. It seems as though this place, as strange as it is, has some benefits." Her older self has made friends of her childhood heroes, and seemed to be at least moderately respected.

At the offer she brightened considerably and fell into the basic waltz position, one arm extended to Luke. "I would, if you do not mind it."

[action]

[thefinaljedi]

"It does. Many benefits if truth be told," Luke smiled down wistfully as he took her arm and began to lead the dance. All this heartache, all this strangeness, and so much worry but at least he had friends like Adele. He'd met his father and Obi-Wan, he'd been exposed to many fascinating aspects of other worlds, and he'd even spent time with the greatest Jedi who ever lift.

And above all that? Ami.

"Benefits more numerous than all the stars in the Galaxy, if you know where to look."

"Then it cannot be quite so bad." She didn't know how long her older self has been here, honestly? She has yet to ask. Part of her is a little afraid- for her to have made such an impression for good or ill on so many implied that she had been here for quite awhile. It was easier for her not to think on it, or if she did? To think on the positive points of having been here.

It's an easy dance, easier still to follow along with Luke with a bright smile. She was just a touch giddy. "My luck must have improved if I've found a friend in you."
