1st Transmission, A Skywalker sprouts wings [Action, Voice]

[thefinaljedi]

Action
[Sometime around midday, not too far from the road, Luke Skywalker finds himself sprawled face-down and shirtless in the grass. It's colder than he remembers it being when he went to sleep, and the ground is wet. With a grunt, the Jedi pushes himself up, surprised to feel an awkward burning sensation in the middle of his back.]

"Geez, where in blazes am I? Artoo, where are we?"

[No answer, naturally]

"Artoo? Oh great...why do I have the feeling that I'm not on Corellia anymore?"

[Luke stands up, his foot brushing against a strange, leatherbound book.]

"Oh hello, whats this?"

[Picking it up, Luke begins thumbing through it, seeking some sort of answers. Upon finding the guide, Luke spends a fair bit of time pouring over it, attempting to digest his situation before slowly beginning to make his way into town, feeling out with the Force]

Voice
[Luke's feeling a bit better, having recovered his clothes and lightsaber, so he begins to address the voice recorder. He takes a very calm, casual tone until he addresses the Malnosso, his voice gaining to an authoritative, icy edge.]

Good afternoon, anyone who may be listening to this. My name is Luke Skywalker, and it appears that I've been...brought here to stay for a time. I'm not sure if thats the right way to word it, but as I am unfamiliar with the local customs, please forgive me. If anyone has seen a small blue astromech droid wandering around, please let me know. Also, if any of the...Malnosso are listening, I'd like some sort of explanation on your reasoning for bringing me here.

(ooc: Feel free to post anywhere, in town, in the woods, wherever.)

[It's the name that catches Jack's attention more than anything else. He pretty much ignores everything Luke says after that.]

......Oi. Not related to Captain L. G. "Hopping Mad" Skywalker, are you?

[Because if he IS...]

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

[Luke listens to the message a couple of times to make sure he heard the name right. Something sounds off with this man...]

No sir, I don't think so. As far as I know I'm not related to any captains, nor anyone going by the name "Hopping Mad." Why? Is he a missing friend of yours?

[Voice]

[all7seas]

"He"? She. She's the meanest, evilest, mercilessest, orneriest, angriest, hoppingest lady pirate to sail the Spanish Main.


And I owe her ten quid. You certain you're not here to collect? One of her malicious brood, no doubt?

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

[Definitely off. It doesn't take a Jedi to figure out that Jack is mad as a hatter...]

Oh, excuse me. Then I definitely don't know her. I don't even know what the Spanish Main, or a "quid" are. Sorry.

[If Luke's voice could shrug, it totally would be]

[Voice]

[all7seas]

Interesting....

[If he doesn't know the Spanish Main, then he might be from one of those alternate universe place. Things. At least he doesn't owe the guy ten quid--and the less said about that, the better.]

That's money, that is. I owe her money. "Skywalker," though. Not a common name, by all accounts. Where do you hail from, Skywalker?

[mistlegacy]

I haven't seen a droid that doesn't belong to the Malnosso...and I wouldn't expect a reply from them, by the way. They aren't very interested in speaking with us, most of the time.

Where are you? Do you need help getting to town?

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

No but thank you, miss. I found it alright. I'm just sort of meandering around. I hadn't counted on a response from the Malnosso, but it never hurts to try.

[mistlegacy]

Who knows, maybe they'll make an exception.

I'm Rydia, one of the volunteers at the Welcome Center. You'll find it near the plaza.

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

Thank you Rydia. I was heading there now, actually.

[mistlegacy]

You're welcome! I'll see you soon, then.

Don't worry if you get the customs wrong. There's so many different people from different universes, it'd be impossible to guess all of them.

[He pauses for a brief second, and decides to ask the question. He's not worried about looking dumb about it.]

...And what's an astromech droid, so I know what you're looking for?

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

[Many universes?]

An astromech droid? It kinda looks like a trash-can with legs. A robot about a meter tall.

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Well, a robot definitely narrows it down. Don't know of too many of those around here. Haven't seen anything like that, sorry. I'll keep an eye out for it, though.

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[A pause]

Whats your name, by the way?

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Sorry, rude of me to forget.

I'm David Jordan, Major in the Federal Erusian Air Force. Or, at least, I was before I ended up in Luceti.

[rashness]

[...Oh wow, this older looking guy is shirtless, just like he was. Rin feels for him. Which is why, hefting his sword over his shoulder (though right now it's wrapped up in a bundle to look more like it does on this page]

Ossu- hey?

[Action ]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

[Luke turns to the speaker, smiling]

Hi. Are you from around here?

[Action ]

[rashness]

No, I just sorta showed up the other day. People do that here.

[His wings flap, uncomfortably, without him noticing. So weird]

[Action]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

[Luke watches his wings, his own still itching something fierce]

So I gathered. Seems we're in similar boats. I'm Luke Skywalker, nice to meet you.

[Action]

[rashness]

...That's a cool name.

[THOUGHTS, DERAILED]

[Voice] (oh so late the to fray)

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[If Derek still had all his memories intact from the last time he'd been here, hearing that name over the journals probably wouldn't have been such a shock.

As it is, he still has to give himself a few seconds before he answers.]

'Staying' is a nicer term than I'd use for it. But welcome to Luceti.

...I'm under the impression the Malnosso don't talk much.

[Voice] (oh so late the to fray)

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

So I have gathered. I am sure they monitor our communications though, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. They sound like horrible, but childlike, people.

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

I'm reserving my judgement until I get to know the situation a little better.

[IE: he's going to wait until more of his memory comes back]

Getting the rundown you need so far? I'm Derek, by the way.

[Voice]

[thefinaljedi.livejournal.com]

I think so. Rydia and Jack have been most helpful. Nice to meet you Derek. Again, I'm Luke.

How long've you been here?

[Voice]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Luke.

[The weirdness is starting to wear off, and the hunter starts talking more naturally.]

As far as I know, a few days. According to some folks though, I was here before, for almost two years.
