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.)

You'd be surprised: there is actually a very large number of pirates here in Luceti. Not all of them do pirate-y things, however. Some of them merely---[He tries to send Luke a picture of pirates with rubbery features skipping around and picking daisies and doing a whole lot of NOTHING PIRATE-Y. Nami's boobs get a big feature in there.]

[Luke's mind is assaulted by rubber men and a nice pair of bosoms, and he can't help but raise an eyebrow]

Certainly not what I would call the most piratical of folks. Rubber men and voluptuous young women?

Exactly! That's what I like about you, Skywalker. You're willing to call a spade a spade and you know un-pirate-y behavior when you see it. Just don't tell Nami I said that.

Maybe piracy means something different where they come from?

...Possibly. Piracy does mean different things to different folks. They've just taken it further off course than any self-respecting pirate ever would. I'm certain the space pirates have it all well in hand.

Well you are certainly friendlier than almost every pirate I've ever met. Except maybe Han. But space pirates do seem a bit rougher than those folks

FRIENDLIER?!

[Jack tries to think an image of himself looking positively fierce and mighty and unforgiving and piratical and free at the helm of the Black Pearl.]

Think you meant FIERCE and FREE, mate!

I don't see you as the type to go killing children. Fierce, ferocious, and utterly unattached sure, but not that

Killing children?!

[That is just about the only thought that Inner Jack can get out, he is so incensed by that idea.]

Never.

Exactly. You may be a...salty seadog, but you are a good bit friendlier than most of the pirates I've dealt with

Hmph. You must know rogue pirates, then. And you hunt them down, I expect?

No, not usually. I've dealt with my fair share of rogues, on good terms. My best friend used to be a pirate

Oh, really? And what was his ship called? Or is it, too, simply a strand of numbers and letters?

The Millennium Falcon, though he calls it "baby"

"Baby"?

[Jack might actually be guilty of that too.]

I like that name, though. Makes her sound fast, like.

Yep. Baby. And if Han had anything to say about it, the Falcon was the fastest ship in the Galaxy. Though a number of others have made the same claim.

Fastest ship in the GALAXY, eh?

[That might be a mixture of jealousy, admiration, and doubt in Jack's inner Jedi tone.]

Did he ever prove it?

Yes, on numerous occasions. I can't begin to count the amount of times we outran Imperial battleships on the Falcon

An Empire, eh? I can't abide empires. Always getting up into the private business of the locals. Great giant deadly busybodies is what they are. Hmph. So your friend sounds the proper pirate. That's what we do, lad---strike fast and run fast.

Well, it worked. We won the war. and now we're kind of rebuilding the government from the ground up. Han got himself promoted into legitimacy

Poor sod. How's he likin' that?

Hard to say. He did get married and had kids though so its probably good

[to my sister no less...]

Got married. Had kids?

[Two issues that have tormented the pirate in recent times. And this other pirate accepted them as part of his life?]

Fastest path out of love, eh?

Haha. Perhaps. Though he married my sister...

I see. A pirate for a brother-in-law, eh? Worse things could come about, I suppose. You, though, strike me as the type who would never indulge in that sort of criminality.
