[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.

[thefinaljedi]

Excellent. I'll ask around too.

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

Thank you for that. In return, I can take some of their hours sometime, too, if there's something else they need to do.

[Video]

[thefinaljedi]

I plan to as well. I was probably going to try and focus on working more evenings, if I can. Till planting is done.

[geniustheveil]

I'm sure everyone will understand: for you, the farm needs to come first. There's a lot to do there right now, and it will be for everyone's benefit, too.

[Video]

[thefinaljedi]

Yeah. It's too important, especially if we have another food shortage.

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

Although a drought or the weather might affect the farm, too. [But at least it's still a standby, and a good idea. She's always thought so.]

[Video]

[thefinaljedi]

It might, yes. That's why I'm hoping to get this irrigation system set up, so at least we'll be able to keep things watered. If the rivers are drying up then we've got a real problem, since the spring they feed from is so near the farm.

Other weather, well, we'll have to see about that when it comes. Not much I can do to stop a tornado.

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

A tornado? We've never had weather that severe here before.

[Not... yet, anyway. Some storms, but not much out of the ordinary. Should she be worried about that? Anyway, whether normal rains or whether tornadoes, the point is the same.]

If there's trouble with the water, if it's a dry year, I can help.

[Video]

[thefinaljedi]

Yes we have. A couple of Novembers ago.

[Though she may have been possibly out of the enclosure, or too out of it. It was shortly after the Vaskoth incident.]

And, yeah, I'd guessed you might.
