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)

[Lance is back from his trip to the mountains, and is actually wandering around the farmlands. Perhaps a bit odd for a Pokemon trainer, but he remembers this place from his... first encounter with Draco. He has an idea rolling about in his head and is pondering this as he looks over the orchards. Needless to say, it's probably a bit weird to see a guy in a cape walking around with a Dragonite, looking at apple trees.]

[doubleppk]

I always liked to travel all over the world, but it's not as exciting as visiting other worlds I bet. Did you ever count up how many you visited?

[Action] at Seventh Heaven

[selphie_t]

[The usual lunch crowd has a new face in it today as Selphie makes her way over to Luke to get his order started. She's only talked to him once over the journals but it's nice to see a new face in person. She'll be humming a happy tune as she finally stops in front of his table.]

Hey there, Luke! What can I getcha today?

[Action]

[asthehawkflies]

[Clint's heading into the Battle Dome for a few hours of shooting practice, stood near the computer and checking his equipment, when Luke leaves. He offers a friendly wave, looking him over quickly.]

Morning, Luke. How are you doing?

[Action-Backdated to the 6th.]

[averybadfeeling]

[Obi-Wan has been scarce for the past week, and it's probably not difficult for Luke to guess why- Obi-Wan's feelings undoubtedly betray him.

But Obi-Wan has, in particular, been avoiding Luke so as not to trouble him. He has been at home as little as possible- typically preferring to exercise or meditate in the woods where he had some privacy, and when he was home, it was to stay in his room and keep to himself.

This changes, however, after Steve Rogers comes back to the village, and the next day, he comes to visit Luke, knocking on his door.]

[fourteen]

... assistance? Assistance like what?

[ A pause. ] I'm new... sort of. Everyone says I've been here before, but... I don't remember anything.

[ahappylie]

I think I went out and had fun with my friends at the close of my first year.

I'm afraid I've never traveled, however. It was illegal for us to do so and we could be executed for it.

[redjacketthief]

[Since his answer would be the same as Fujiko's, Lupin immediately skips to the one question that he can answer.]

Some people do something discreet and special for themselves if it's a subdued anniversary. Visiting a bar comes to mind, or maybe spending some time in a favorite place just to relax.

Others go and have a time on the town--pity the boardwalks of New Jersey aren't here, because they're fun...in a tacky sort of way.

It depends on the person. Mostly.

[brokethefourthwall]

Baking? [Giggle.] That's one of my specialties! What'cha need help with, Luke?

[action]

[the_other_leblanc]

[She became a doctor, or so she keeps hearing in this odd recurring dream. Dance may or may not be a part of her future and she honestly doesn't know how to take it- habit, however, is far easier and far more comforting no matter the frustration it might cause. Adele, now seventeen to her memory, a little more lean, a little less rounded of face and eye drills the same fifteen motions in the dance sim she'd learned from Loki. Plane hardwood floor, mirrors and waist high barre on one side, a recording she'd worked out earlier this morning going in the corner.

The motions are clean. Crisp. The lines and gestures straight and sure end every step made with calculated grace. And yet when she's finished she sags back on her heels, swears under her breath and stalks back over to the record player to lift the needle and replay that segment of song. Back to the center of the room, the music picks up and once more through the motions. Again she sinks back on her heels when she's finished, frustrated. Again she stalks for the record player to go through it when she realizes she's not alone in the room and looks up.

At.

Luke Skywalker.]

[rashness]

Aaaaah, jeez.

[Rin, in his apron, is now rummaging through some stuff behind the counter of Seventh Heaven. As Luke walks in, that is. He's looking for his journal...but]

[Voice, Filtered]

[removeimpurity]

[There's the sound of a book set aside as soon as Luke addresses her. Her voice is soft, relaxed -- something it hasn't been for a while.]

I'm glad they could be of use, Luke. Really.

Meeting up somewhere is no problem. Have you got a place in mind?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[Sometime when Luke returns to town, Raine will be out and about taking care of some errands that had been neglected after returning from the draft. At least, she had stepped out of the item shop with a large bag and a few assorted items in it, and is sitting on one of the benches in the square looking them over and trying to determine if she's forgotten to pick up anything important.

She's also hoping to catch sight of a certain person, but there haven't been any signs of the part girl-part cat-part something else around. Still, she does catch sight of Luke, and that garners a wave for the man.]

[voice]

[frost_jewel]

[She might as well.]

I have visited most of the continents in my world.

voice

[stilldontgotit]

Hah. I've traveled to plenty of worlds. It's part of the territory when you're a Keyblade wielder, I guess.

[Heh.]

It'd take forever to list them all, but I've gone everywhere from inside a computer program to the belly of a whale. ...And yes, I'm serious about that last one.
