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

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.)

[Luke can't help but smile at that]

Well, shall we? If its there, I can show you

Sure! [they're nearly at the square anyway. And... there. He's not sure but people said it should be at the Smithy? Weapons? so let's go there]

Sounds good, lead on!

[And... smithy. He gestures for Luke to go ahead. Find stuff. He'll follow]

[Luke pokes around for a while, rummaging through swords, axes, and other things until he finds a cylindrical metal pipe with nobs and buttons]

This would be it. Definitely. Take a step back, I want to check and see if it works.

[He steps outside and presses a button, the emerald-green blade springing to life with a distinctive hiss. Testily, the Jedi waves it through the air, the energy thrumming with each swing. Luke decides perhaps that it may be alright to give Rin a bit of a show, and runs through a complex series of forms, a sort of martial routine designed to focus his mind]

[ ... ... Oh wow that is cool. Rin stares at the show in amazement. That's a green laser sword. Like from a manga or a movie]

[Luke finishes his martial routine, sealing the blade with a similarly distinctive sucking sound, and feeling much more focused and in tune with the Force.]

Sorry, it helps me center myself. Something of a meditative exercise.

W-whoa so you're like... a laser sword monk or something?

[Thats not far off!!!]

I'm a Jedi Knight.

You said the Jedi thing - but what's that, like an Exorcist or something?

A guardian. Its a Jedi's duty to protect people. My home has fairly constantly been stuck in a civil war.

...So you're like a soldier?

In a manner of speaking, yes

...That's gotta be rough.

[So he kills people. to protect other people, like Exorcists, but takin' out humans has got to be different than demons, or beating up punks]

Mostly...right now, I teach. And thats not an unpleasant job.

[...!] Wait, and you said you do meditate-y things, right?

[He said, leaning against the wall. He tries to reign in his excitement, but it shows in his voice]

That...is what I said. Why?

[Luke can FEEL the excitement, its almost tangible]

Then... you could help me out with somethin' When you're all used to things, I mean.

[He reigns it in when he recalls this guy just arrived]

Absolutely. What do you need?

I need... to control stuff. Stuff in me. My teacher's not here, I think, so.

[What a strange boy...]

Sure. Meditation training, is that what you need?

...Sort of?

[Luke isn't entirely sure what Rin is driving at, but stretching out with the Force, he begins to get a clearer picture. Something...powerful...]

Containing...something?

...Controlling? I mean- I gotta be able to control it some more. Meditation helps with that, right?

Right. Though it depends on what it is. If it were, say, the Dark Side of the Force then meditation might strengthen it.
