[Well it's about that time of year, when the weather begins to shift and it's beginning to get to the point where cultivating and preparing to for planting season is becoming a necessity. And to get all this started, Luke needs your help. He opens up the journal and smiles at the camera.]

Good afternoon Luceti,

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Luke Skywalker. For the last couple of years I've been tending to some of the farmlands outside the village, trying to build up emergency stores as well as bringing a bit of self-sufficiency to the enclosure. And as some of you may know, within the last year both Nami and Applejack have both departed, leaving the orchards near the farmland untended. I've been tending to them as best I can, but the vast majority of the help I had with the work has also returned home.

In the interest of better utilizing the space I'd like to request the help of anyone willing to volunteer their time with a bit of manual labor. I'm afraid it's simply not going to be possible to manage it all by myself, and any help would be greatly appreciated. It's beginning to near the planting season, after all. I'm happy to offer whatever services I can provide in exchange.

[There's a pause, and he seems to look somewhere off camera.]

On a related note, if there's anyone who knows anything about building irrigation systems, I'd appreciate any advice.

Thank you for your time, and may the Force be with you all.

[Shutting off the feed, he sends out two private messages.]

Written, Filtered to Loki
Loki, I know this is much less interesting than musical theater and cookies, but I was hoping I could get your help with a bit of magical work on the farm.

Written, Filtered to Trafalgar Law
Law, I figure we should probably revisit some of those supply caches and check on them. Possibly restock and take care of a few other things down that vein.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[Luke blinks, but since the boy's obviously not hurt, he doesn't comment.]

You wouldn't remember him disappearing. He'd have vanished and returned in the same instant, as far as your world goes. Time moves differently here, so while he may have been here a month or two, he'd have been gone in the time it takes you to blink where you're from.

Oh...yeah... I think I remember somebody telling me that. Isn't that weird? How'd people find out about that?

Grand.

[Some people have a hard enough time surviving without worrying about nihilistic cults trying to wipe them out.

He starts walking again.]

Yup! It's just been training though, but I really want to put my results so far into some practical use.

Good. I've heard scarecrows are a way to go, but they don't seem to work when the birds can talk, and the scarecrow obviously can't. I think they figured out they weren't real people.

[Luke follows. The nihilistic cult thing...well, it's not that different from Mindor or Dathomir, and thankfully the Third Party doesn't have rancors...but still.]

Yeah. Either way, that's what we're dealing with. They make the Malnosso seem almost reasonable.

Almost. Hard for a pack of mad scientists to act reasonably.

[which is more or less how he sees them. A bunch of Hanges, but with even less moral compass so that they veer much closer to evil, even if out of neglect or inability (or lack of desire) to care.]

People sometimes vanish from this world and return. They don't remember Luceti at home, and they're gone less than a second. One friend of mine vanished and returned home mid-conversation, and when he came back he found it rather disturbing.

True enough.

[He's reminded of more than one himself. The people from Maw Installation were just a bit too cracked for him, and they were normal compared to the Malnosso.]

Though, the Malnosso's Security Force isn't as bad as the rest of them.

Well, that can definitely be arranged. What sort of training have you been doing?

It does. Let's get you suited up.

[He heads over to a section of clothes that would probably be suitable for a general store circa 1930. Overalls, straw hats, the works.]

This what you had in mind?

Mid-conversation? Were you talking to him? How did it look?

Yeah, I'll be seeing you.

[And true to his word, a few hours later Vash will show up. Ready to work.]

Dawn may be a bit of a push, hell, mornin' too normally. But for ya, mon ami, I'll make an exception. Lucky ya so pretty or I wouldn't bother.

Oh, believe me, ninja can be a lot more creative than that! If we toss up some seals, we should give those birds the shock of their lives!

... Iunno if I got time, but I wanna help.

[ But he also wants Luke's help. They did some stuff way back in the day and despite being distraught and trying to look for someone's input a few days ago, he didn't think of Luke. So now when he sees this, he remembers "oh yeah, that guy" ]

Okay.

[Toph's not that far from the square, so it's really just a matter of waiting and listening for the right voice.]

Ah, mainly just your standard physical training. Sometimes magic thrown in here and there just so I don't get rusty.

You kiddin'? I'd kill for somethin' to do.

No, I meant he was talking to someone at home, left, and returned in the middle of it.

[ooc: let's fade out! Threading farm work is kinda dull, haha.

<3

Hah, well I appreciate it, definitely. Anything you'd like in return? Information's not really a fair price.

Well, that'd be excellent. Better than having them all over the food, of course.

Though, these seals are hopefully a non-lethal method?

Well, that'd be appreciated, if you've got the time Rin.

[Luke remembers this kid too, and he's been wondering about him from time to time.]

I hope you've been well, and not too busy.

[Well, given that she's not covered her face up in the journal, Luke has no trouble finding her. He meanders over and calls out.]

Hello Toph.
