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.)

...That's a cool name.

[THOUGHTS, DERAILED]

[Well thats a first]

Uh...thanks. What's your name?

O-ossu- Rin. I'm Rin Okumura.

[Oh wait his original objective-] Aren't you cold?

[Luke shrugs]

A bit. I'm rather underdressed. Am I on the right path to town? I was hoping to find some clothes there.

Oh, you know. Ossu- yeah, it's right back there.

[And he jerks his thumb over his shoulder. They're in the thick of some houses already, actually. But. The square proper is beyond]

Great. Whats an Ossu?

...Just something you say?

[Cultural differences...right]

Ah, ok. So, where are ya from?

Japan... but uh. Wanna go to down? Don't want you freezing on me.

[In fact, he's going to turn in order to head towards the center of town]

Sure, that sounds good. I understand the shop may have some of my clothes, and my lightsaber. It would be nice to have that back.

[ ...! ]

What's a lightsaber?

(ooc: stop tempting me to quote Obi Wan!)

[Luke blinks. He hadn't considered that sort of tech may not exist]

Its a weapon. Like a sword, made of pure energy, and the traditional weapon of the Jedi.

[Jedi... Jedi... he's totally heard that before. But a sword? He gets a sword - he's got his on his back, wrapped up as usual. See icon and all.

But hm...] That sounds cool.

[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?
