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.)

So pirates cannot use the Force, then?

Some can. But not to the same extent I can. It takes training

Training. What does said training involve?

First, Force sensitivity. Then learning to control it, which takes years. This...telepathy is fairly common among Force users, but most can only speak a few words. I've got something of a gift with it

Sounds like a great deal of work to me, though the payoff seems significant. And the wenches enjoy it, I expect.

[Luke actually sighs]

Haha, not so much there Jack. Just a couple, most people are a bit intimidated by a Jedi

I can understand why, lad. You don't seem the intimidating type, if you'll excuse the observation.

Haha, I've heard that before.

[All of this...mind-talking...is getting somewhat tiring for a man who is so used to driving inner voices away.]

Certainly it's to your advantage to project that sort of front to the world, I would think. As long as you're not dangerous to pirates? You're probably alright, Skywalker.

[Luke is quite fine with this, keeping a connection active with someone for extended periods can be tiring]

I've got few problems with pirates who aren't really engaged in wanton murder. Sometimes I wish I could live as free as pirates do, what with the responsibilities and all, but thats not the life the Force chose for me.

Here in Luceti, you know, you might be able to manage that. Your responsibilities might not have followed you here.

[No Jack, he wants to say. He's still a Jedi, and one misstep could lead him down the path to Darkness. But no need to worry the pirate...]

Perhaps. Though if its one thing I've learned in the War, its how to resist tyrannical overlords.

So that's something we have in common, then. We could do with a few more of that resisting type around here, just so long as they don't do anything stupid, eh? Anytime you're in Good Spirits, give a shout, lad.

I will. Thanks.
