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)

.... sort of. [ Concerned yet curious at the same time. ] She told you about all of that? What else did she tell you?

[thefinaljedi]

Nothing in great detail except for to look out for people named Vanitas and Xemnas, and an Organization. She said they were dangerous enemies.

[fourteen]

[ ... she tries to swallow a wince, and only sort of manages it. The name Vanitas means nothing to her, but the Organization...

... they are dangerous enemies. She knows better than anyone. Would Kairi have considered her a threat...? She was part of them... ]

... they are. But I don't think they're here... or I'd know.

[thefinaljedi]

Oh?

[There's a hint of curiosity in his voice, but he won't press the issue beyond that one word. Clearly she's fairly young, and worried about something.]

I hope I haven't upset you. I don't really know much more than that, and Kairi's been gone for some time now.

[fourteen]

No, it's okay. I guess I was a little surprised, that's all.

[ A blatant lie. Well -- she's not very upset. But "a little surprised" severely understates the matter. ]

The Organization... if they were here, they'd probably seek me out, and no one has. That's all.

I can edit this if it bothers you overmuch, but lying to a Jedi is very difficult to hide.

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke...can feel the lie there, the Force warning him something's off with her answer, but he doesn't press. It wasn't a sense he could turn off, but he didn't get any flashes of malice from the girl. She's confused, young, and obviously having a difficult time, but he can't help being a little curious about why.]

Alright. Well if you think of anything you need help with, don't hesitate to ask.

TOTALLY FINE. May the Force be with you.

[fourteen]

... okay. Thanks again, Luke.
