21st Transmission [Video/Written/Action] (Forward Dated to March 17)

[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.

[pokeboy]

Do you know the other gods?

[He's curious!]

[thefinaljedi]

I know Loki well enough, I suppose. But the others not so much.

[It's not really his place to warn Red about Moro, but...]

If you're exploring the woods and happen to see a large wolf, that would be one of the gods here. Moro. She's got a foul temper, so if you do cross her path be respectful.

[pokeboy]

O-okay. [Ohh, that's a good warning, especially since he's into exploring the forest. But...]

...What does a wolf look like?

[thefinaljedi]

[Oh! Right. Lance explained that...]

It's got 4 legs, a muzzle, and fangs. And Moro is white.

[pokeboy]

So like a... animal! [He nods in understanding. He can understand a super being being not human!]

What about "Loki"? What is she like?

[thefinaljedi]

Yep, exactly like one.

[And he smiles, the thought of a female Loki amusing him.]

Loki's a he. He's a god of trickery, and he likes illusions. He's a bit secretive, but he's taken charge of the stables here in Luceti. It's where the horses are kept.

[pokeboy]

[Oops, a he! But they were turning out to be all ladies. But hey, there's a creature he knows!]

Horses? Like- [He begins to make motions that make Saur let go of his arm, trying to depict the shape of a horse.] -four legs high from the ground, a head kind of like this shape... with a flat nose... and fire all over?!

[thefinaljedi]

Yes, all of that, except for the fire. It'd be hard to ride them if they were on fire.

[pokeboy]

[Shaking his head!] You can ride them! You've just got to know how to!

[thefinaljedi]

I'll take your word for it. Either way, horses are a bit easier to ride, I'll be.

[pokeboy]

But fireless ponyta are really strange to imagine... but have you ridden one? A horse?

[That sounds cool...!]

[thefinaljedi]

Once or twice, yes. Generally, I prefer riding other animals though. From my own world.

[pokeboy]

Do you have any here...!? [Potentially seeing animals from his world is even cooler!!]

[thefinaljedi]

Yeah, there's one up on the farm. I figured I'd introduce him to you when we get there.

[pokeboy]

Cool! ...so, can you tell me what he does?

[Does Red have to wait to find out.]

[thefinaljedi]

Well, heh, you'll see when you meet him. We're almost there.

[Explaining a Bantha is hard.]

[pokeboy]

Aw... OK.

[Instead-!]

Let me tell you about a pokémon before we get there!

[thefinaljedi]

Sure, alright.

[No problem there, Red!]

[pokeboy]

Alright! [And he thinks- but not too long.] I knowww... four psychic pokémon!

[Red that is not a pokémon-]

One of them eats dreams, one sleeps most of the day, another can make walls with its hands - and the other is a pile of big looking eggs! But the eggs are also part grass. Also, no matter what, there's always six of them.

[Another second to think...!]

If you were a psychic type pokémon, you'd be weak to bugs, ghosts, and dark. [Unless you're from gen 1.] But ghost pokémon are weak to ghost pokémon too, and dark pokémon... [Um.] ...I don't know any dark pokémon. Not yet, anyway!

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke raises an eyebrow.]

Well, lucky for me I'm not a psychic pokemon, huh? I happen to like insects, and ghosts.

[Why not, he'll humor the young man.]

[pokeboy]

[He laughs a bit.]

Yeah, but you know, if you were - that's the closest type you'd be, I think. [Smiling!] And you don't have to hate bugs or ghosts. Just, you shouldn't get on the wrong side of them - or you'll be in trouble.

[Bugs shoot first.]

[thefinaljedi]

Well that's fair.

[He's been on the wrong side of a ghost once. It wasn't fun.]

What about you? What would you be?

[pokeboy]

Hmm... well, I'm normal - I can't do psychic powers or magic. That means I'd be weak to fighting types, but ghosts can't hurt me.

But I can't hurt ghosts either. [...] It's kind of like a video game when you think about it, but way more intense. [Nod!] It's all about strategy.

[thefinaljedi]

Well, I've heard a bit about the types from Ikki. What are psychics strong against?

[pokeboy]

Poison and... fighting! [He nods a head towards Saur.] That means you're strong against Saur. Or just got an advantage! [Because, you know. His ivysaur rocks.

But-] Ikki's the girl with the flying pokémon, isn't she?
