15th Transmission: Fourth Wall Episode II The Fourth Wall Strikes Back! [Action!]

[thefinaljedi]

[When Luke woke up that morning, he got a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach that there was something strange going on. Sound flooded his senses, and Artoo had rolled into his room, bleeping excitedly. Apparently there were a lot of new people in the village today, and the droid was pretty annoyed. More than usual.

He grabbed up his things, clipped on his lightsaber, and headed out into the rather large number of strangers that'd gathered around Luceti.]

You weren't kidding, Artoo. There are a lot of New Feathers this time around.

[Only, he was beginning to notice...these people didn't have wings. That was new. That hadn't happened before, ever, to his knowledge.]

What's going on?

[Luke makes his rounds as usual, albeit slightly slower, heading around to the Village Clinic, the Battle Dome, the Tea Shop, and the Farm. In the evening, he's probably weirded out enough to have visited Seventh Heaven to indulge in hot chocolate, so feel free to grab him up anywhere, anytime, and for whatever purpose you might have.]

Comments

Tea Shop

[padme]

[ What is she doing here and how had she even managed to find her way to this strange world? There's so many people, none of them familiar to her. They bustle about, the chatter loud and all around. Padme's just as confused as the next new arrival, her confusion evident in the furrow of her brows.

The tea shop has a warm glow in its windows, inviting almost. A hand reaching up to tug up the shawl to drape better around slim shoulders, Padme heads through the crowds for the tea shop, speaking quietly as she goes. ]

--I'm sorry. Pardon me.

Tea Shop

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke stops short, freezing in complete and total shock as he feels the slender woman brush against him. A tingling sensation in the Force told him that she was someone he should pay attention to. And when he heard that voice, and saw the face that he'd only seen in the films that he and Obi-Wan had watched a year before he couldn't quite bring himself to speak terribly well.

It hadn't ever occurred to him that his mother might end up here.]

H-hello.

[padme]

[ Their eyes meet and lock, and then hers break away first to roam his features. Padme doesn't recognize this man and yet there's something about him that's familiar, that says she should know who he is. It's a nagging feeling in the back of her mind.

The expression he's currently wearing; immediately Padme's eyes drop down between them and she's taking a small step back, fingers curling in her shawl just beneath her shoulder. ]

Did I step on your foot? I'm so sorry-- I didn't mean to. That was entirely my fault.

[thefinaljedi]

[He shakes his head, half in apology for staring, and half to clear his mind.]

No, you didn't. And it was my fault as much as yours. Sorry.

[He falters a bit, and takes another step over towards the door to the quiet, warm tea-shop. He really does want to talk to her, but it's too crowded outside. He nods at the door, eyes clearly hoping that she'll take the hint and follow.]

Would you care to join me for tea? It's rather crowded here today.

[padme]

[ That something seems to nudge her forward to follow. There's very little hesitance on her part save for the glance thrown over her shoulder as if that would suddenly reveal Anakin or General Kenobi amongst the new arrivals. Padme turns her attention forward again first on the sandy-haired man and then upwards to the tea-shop. ]

I would love nothing more. [ No one can turn down a tea invite.

One step, two steps. Once Luke moves to open the door, Padme will follow, a small and thankful smile curving her lips. While she may be used to the senate chambers being overcrowded - worse than this at times - the offer to step away from it all is more than welcome. ]

Seventh Heaven

[everydayimswoopin]

[Det doesn't have the faintest clue how she got here, weird village, and it's busier than a casino district of Nar Shaddaa during some kind of vacation season. People everywhere, a solid wall of bodies she hears everywhere she goes.

She's been trying to get her bearings. In Det's case, that means one of the first things she does is find something to eat.

There's not a whole lot of food running around here. No small scampering animals. She has, however, rather quickly made her way to a restaurant, and from there made her way to the restaurant's kitchen.

So now she's opening cupboards, fridges, boxes, and anything else that might contain delicious, bleeding raw meat. Her stomach growls.

In short, there's a grouchy-looking barefoot Togruta in the kitchen going through all the stuff.]

Seventh Heaven

[thefinaljedi]

[A Togruta? In Luceti? Well that was new. Luke leans over the counter and waves at her.]

Miss, you know you can ask a cook for food, right?

Re: Seventh Heaven

[everydayimswoopin]

[She turns around almost as soon as he shows up, having heard him -- a person's body sounds very different than empty air.

She gives him a Look.]

"Yep."

[Not much one for talking, apparently.]

Seventh Heaven

[thefinaljedi]

Why not come sit down before Sanji or Buffy finds you messing up the kitchen and starts yelling, Miss?

Re: Seventh Heaven

[everydayimswoopin]

[She shrugs, glancing over to Luke.]

"Gonna be here soon?"

[Sanji or Buffy, she means. Whoever those two are. What kind of names are those? And she doesn't look perturbed at the idea of being yelled at.]

"Been threatened with a lot worse than yelling for being in a kitchen, pateessa."

[Of course, there is still the problem that she's messing up the kitchen.]

[scienceofcourse]

[There is a man in your living room, and he is examining your robot!

It is, of course, primitive compared to the technological genius of Insano! But it was a start.]

Now, then, let's take a look at how you work, shall we, my diminutive friend?

[And then he begins giggling a shrill, maniacal giggle.]

[thefinaljedi]

[Artoo reacts first, even as Luke starts across the room, hand reaching for his lightsaber, to be on the safe side. The droid's shock prod extends, zapping Insano! with a jolt of electricity.]

Who are you? [Luke's not in the mood for this.]

[scienceofcourse]

Who am I? I am your future ruler, Dr. Insano!

[He giggles slightly, turning to face Luke.]

And your robot seems to be malfunctioning, it just shocked me.

[thefinaljedi]

That would be because he doesn't like people prodding him.

[Luke folds his arms over his chest]

Dr. Insano. What are you doing in my house?

[scienceofcourse]

What am I doing? I'm doing science, of course! I require components with which to begin my technological conquest of this backwards world!

[Farm]

[unseenspy]

[A little black kitten is wandering around, and finds itself at the farm, exploring the fields for a little bit. Shortly after, Jay appears, fighting his way out of the crowds in pursuit. But once the kitten senses him, it takes off. Jay stops at where the kitten was, catching his breath.]

N-no! Come back!

[Even now, the panic is evident on his face. He's terrified of losing his little kitty.]

Somewhere in your day

[tellsyoutheodds]

[C3PO, human-cyborg relations was quite distressed. This wasn't the Planet Endor, where he had been earlier. The ambient temperature was quite wrong for that!

Who ever deactivated him and reactivated him in this unknown location must have been up to no good. And there were so many humanoids! None that were recognized by the database, but so many humanoids was a bit odd.]

Oh dear, oh dear. I simply must find Master Luke. If he is even here!

[With limited visual range, the golden protocol droid does not notice if anyone familiar is approaching. Simply keeps fretting and observing the confluence of humanoids.]

[thefinaljedi]

Threepio?

[Well THAT isn't a face he expected to see.

Artoo beeps and whistles, rolling over towards the golden annoyance.]

[tellsyoutheodds]

[Oh that voice was recognized. C3PO turns around just as R2D2 rolls up, communicating with him.]

Oh, Master Luke! There you are!

[C3PO looks downwards at his counterpart.]

What do you mean 'Where are my wings'? Why would I have wings? Are you malfunctioning?

[thefinaljedi]

Well I never expected to see you, Threepio. You arrive this morning with the rest of the crowd?

[Artoo, of course, continues to badger his counterpart. Cheekily.]

[archaeologic]

[At Seventh Heaven, Luke might spot a familiar-looking man at a table with a half-eaten sandwich and a sprawling stack of maps in front of him. He's clearly wrapped up in his own thoughts at the moment. But he had to figure out where he was.]

[thefinaljedi]

Han?

[After meeting his mother and Threepio Luke was only a little surprised to see a man who looked like his brother-in-law sitting in Seventh Heaven. He approached with a salute.]

[archaeologic]

[Indy doesn't look up at first - because, well, that wasn't his name, so it wasn't him being addressed, obviously. Of course, he can't miss it when the man comes over to his table and salutes to him. Someone he's never seen before in his life.]

I think you've got me confused with somebody else. The name's Indiana. Indiana Jones.

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke blinks, somewhat surprised. Of course. Indiana Jones. He'd seen those films, and he feels somewhat foolish for assuming it might be Han. ]

Ah, pardon me then, Indiana. You look a lot like my brother-in-law. My name's Luke. May I join you?

[lookingforchange]

[Look out, Luke, it's a hobo in the plaza! And he's waving a styrofoam cup at everyone, including you!]

CHAANGE? YA GOT CHAANGE? AW COME ON HELP A GUY OUT WILL YA? COME ON, CHANGE!
