The Holocron

[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.]

Groaning, Luke Skywalker rolled over in the warm sun of an early morning. Sitting up, he squeezed the bridge of his nose, blinking all around him. He was out by the lake, and he was still in Luceti. All he could remember was being woken from sleep by a loud banging at his window, and then blackness. Something felt off, that was sure, but he wasn't sure what. Shakily, he got to his feet and dazedly made his way over to the lake.

As he...looked into the lake, her jaw dropped, eyes widening. A female face stared back with the same shocked look, clad in New Feather garb. A familiar face, that of Grandmaster Sunrider, greeted him. To his further surprise the reflection began to speak, echoing through his mind. When it finished, things were a lot clearer. And so was her mind. Turning away from the water, Nomi Sunrider stared at the journal on the ground in front of her. Deep in the back of their mind, Luke Skywalker nodded in agreement. There wasn't much else to be done, if Luke was to be in control it would tax both of them. He knew she'd slipped him into a trance to spare him the pain of experimentation, and now she was willing to take his responsibilities until whatever the Malnosso had done could be undone.

Taking the journal, Nomi opened it up and Luke sent out a message in a distinctly...female voice. They agreed that not everyone needed to know what was going on...at least right away.

[Voice]
"Greetings residents of Luceti. This is Luke Skywalker, and...I'm having a bit of a situation. I was taken by the Malnosso, and I'm feeling a little weak. I am out by the lake, and if anyone could bring a spare suit of clothing, some water, and some pain killers I would be in your debt."

[Action]

Later that afternoon, and all week, Luke/Nomi can be found around the village. Its pretty weird, even for a Jedi, so...expect lots of confusion and mostly to be speaking to Nomi. Feel free to poke at them throughout the week, just denote a day.

[Something in the early afternoon, Luke Skywalker's voice crackles over the journals. His voice sounds somewhat tired, but filled with cheer. In the background, there is a small thrumming sound that anyone familiar with mechanics would recognize as something Droid related. Could his good mood be related to the machines, or something else?]

Good afternoon, everyone.. Let me apologize in advance for the long message. I've got quite a few things to bring up.

I wanted to let everyone know that we made it back safely from the mission. I would like to commend Leonardo, Gambit, Chien, Sheena, and Sailor Mercury for their exemplary performance out in the jungle. There were no significant complications, and the entire thing went off without any trouble. I am not entirely sure of the purpose of our spying, but I suppose our keepers don't require my understanding, merely my obedience. That said, they were fairly reasonable with their rewards. I managed to procure a small supply of power cells from home. The droids I was working on previously are coming along nicely.

I've been informed by Obi-Wan that there was a town meeting in my absence. If possible, and there are projects discussed that I could help with, please don't hesitate to bring them up with me. I'm quite curious to see what was discussed, and if there is anything that you would like to address, please do.

Next, I would like to invite any interested parties to marathon the films I addressed in my last transmission. Obi Wan and I have managed to gather all 6, and would be interested in viewing them with some of our friends. Yes, I realize this is an extremely odd idea, watching myself as seen by a storyteller, but curiosity has gotten the better of me.

Finally, I'm quite confused by all this talk of Valentine's Day. What is it? I'm told that it has something to do with love? I'm also told that when one is in love with another its expected that they offer gifts to that person? What...sort of things would be appropriate? I do not want to disappoint a certain important someone.

[He leaves that deliberately vague, not wanting to embarrass Ami publically]

Good evening everyone, this is Luke Skywalker returning from a mission at the behest of our...keepers. Did I miss anything important? I only have a sketchy time-frame for how long I was outside of the compound. I am alright, it just took longer than I anticipated thanks to the weather.

Next, I would like to extend a greeting to all of the newcomers I've seen wandering around the village. I have not been around very long myself, but should you require assistance I would be more than happy to help in any way that I can.

Finally, the weather here seems to have gotten colder, and it was my understanding that in many other worlds this time of year is considered a feast time or festival? It may seem like a strange request, but I've thought quite a bit about, and gotten curious about the customs and traditions of other homes. If you would be willing to share information about your home's winter culture I would be very interested to hear it.
