Has anyone seen Luke? I can't find him. (She is doing her best to remain in control, to not panic, but the strain is easy to see on her delicate features.)

It's possible he went off on his own... (Skywalkers and their adventures.) but he should still see this, right?

(In her heart, she knows the truth.)

Hi

I'm going to look for our stuff

Tell me what you lost?


[There. Link has successfully managed to Communicate Using The Network. He feels very accomplished.]


[[ooc: Plotting post for this is here. If you want to get involved in helping to retrieve items - or you'd like another character to retrieve something for you - comment there too]]

[Hajime hates that he has to do this, but he's looking a little green and tired. And so, so very uncomfortable with what he's about to do.]

It would appear that I've gone too long without a Tether. I...need help.

[There's a pained sigh. Not because he's really starting to feel the effects--it's just a bit of nausea for now, but he knows what's coming.]

I'm a Tian, I can offer...combat training in exchange? I am...not good with people.

[He's trying his best, but it's hard. There are very good reasons he's put this off as long as he has.]

[Li is reluctant to do this. Starting social interactions is not her forte even in the best of times, and this is very assuredly not that. Regardless, she turns on the video, takes a breath, and steels herself to try to communicate clearly and concisely.]

Hello. My name is Ya-Jing Li. Li, if you want to be formal. I'm new here and I... [what's a way to put this that doesn't make her sound dim-witted?] I'm a bit lost on what to do. Usually I operate with more of a plan than this. I think it would be wise to develop some kind of training regime so I can maintain my combat capabilities, but I'm unsure what to do with the rest of my time here. Suggestions would be appreciated.

And if anyone remembers me from the, um, dream, from before? I would like to hear from you, just to know you made it out alright.

(Since she has been made aware of her prior stay, Padmé decides to use her tablet to send out a message. She is pale, but strangely resolved to this new plight. Her hair is ornately braided, but her clothing is plain. She's just happy to have clothes and to be rid of that white gown!)

Greetings, everyone. Some of you might recognize me; I want to speak to you if that is the case.

(The faster she is up to speed, the better.)

For those I am encountering for the first time, hello. I'm Padmé. Some of my family is present and -

I would like very much to protect them. I'm sure you can understand the feeling.

Video

[ At a disgustingly early hour of the morning, Obi-Wan will record and post up the following video. At least the location appears quite serene? Deep in the jungle, with the sound of a river washing softly over rocks in the background.

Obi-Wan himself is looking thoughtful, one arm settled across his chest while the other lifts a mug of tea to his lips for a sip, before he starts talking. ]


Good morning. I apologize for the early hour of this transmission and I promise to keep it brief.

A few weeks ago I had the unique opportunity to speak with one of our Sylphid captors. During the course of our most pleasant discussion I learned that aside from the method they attempted to use on all of us, kidnapping with the expectation of infestation, they have other methods of increasing their ranks on this planet.

Apparently they can bring in more of their number via ships in orbit to this planet, which unfortunately means that the more of them we dispatch, that many more of them they can replace. This war could continue indefinitely, and if the Sylphid get smart and stop bringing in new potential hosts -which we then free- we're going to be overrun.

[ He's going to pause for more tea, sorry folks but tea gets cold quick. ]

I would like to propose that -on a volunteer only basis- we consider finding out what we can about how the Sylphid are transporting their reinforcements from ships in orbit, to the surface of the planet.

If, and it may be a very big if, we can secure that information, then we may be able to come up with a plan for how to incapacitate the Sylphid's abilities to easily replenish their numbers.

In the sake of full disclosure, I do not expect any of this to be particularly safe or easy, we are talking about a deep infiltration of Sylphid held territory. But it may be possible, if we are successful, that in the longer view we are looking at a possibility of gaining ground, rather than merely holding on to what we already have.

[ And even that is a loooonnnggg shot, but hey. He's the eternal optimist? ]

Would there be any volunteers?

[ He doesn't want to have to do this on his own, but ... it wouldn't be the first bad idea he's jumped feet first into. ]

[ No way would Felix ask this with his name attached, but once he notices the anonymous function for the network, he figures it is worth the risk. ]

Question for those of you who are already Tethered, or I guess anyone who knows...

I've been told that people who are Tethered to one another have access to each other's emotions. How specific is that access? Is it just the feeling or the cause of the feeling, too?

For instance, is it just "Harold is happy right now" or is it fully "Harold is happy right now because he noticed that I mended that rip in his jacket, and because I smiled at him when we said goodnight last night, and also because he's secretly in love with me."?

All Harolds in this example are purely hypothetical of course.

Two Old Men Get Hitched - Early month prior to mini-missions

[ ooc: tl;dr two old guys get tethered in a very outrageous and opposite to what they wanted way. Characters are welcome to react (or ignore!) as they’d like/reach out “privately” to them via their communicators, but the Doctor and Obi-Wan will likely thread hop since they’ll be together contemplating their life choices after this. If that’s not your cup of tea, feel free to indicate who the comment is going to and or mark it as 'private'! ]

Knew we should have taken a left at Albuquerque. )

This isn't a promise, more like a request for ideas?

( there are sounds of metal being moved in the background, some clanking and things being dropped or pushed )

I'm an engineer. I've got a list of things I'm working on but I can't get all of the parts yet. But I could repair something in between or upgrade something. I've been getting a better look at some of the technology here too, I might be able to do something with it.

( or shred some of it for parts. she certainly had managed to get her hands on enough scrap but there were other things that weren't (yet) looking as common )

Or if you've got anything useful you're not using I can take it off your hands... see what I can do with it.

( one day she'll figure out her own cash and stop using her sugar captain )

( Witch Cast (Debut) Œ ≈≈ Video Œ ≈≈ Post-Mission )

[The screen flickers on an a distinctive banner shows up, covering the screen. The screen then starts playing a young octoling beatboxing a upbeat jingle, which have been overlayed with the garbled singing. The entire thing has the appearance of a studio set, albeit one that was done by an amateur who didn't entirely know what they were doing.]

[Because they don't.]

[The banner is pulled away and a pair of eyes looks into the camera before pulling herself away. The camera droops a moment, prompting the girl with tentacle hair to rush over and straighten it back. Satisfied that it's all in position, she returns to the center of the camera. Her face flushes as she strikes a pose, extending her fingers out and down in a wiggling motion.]


H-Hello Witch's Camp! T-This is the first ever Witch Cast, w-where we can talk about ourselves a-and stuff going around the camp! "That's right! We're all in this together right?" [She chirps in the corner of her mouth.] ...cod, no. I shouldn't try to make up another voice to respond to, that's dumb...

[Oh, right, she was still filming this live. UM...] Anyways, I'm Eight! I'll be your TakoCaster for today!! A-A-And I was thinking maybe, we could talk about stuff like things we find interesting, places with good food, and whether there is something important on your mind.

[Er-HEM. Her face flushes bright magenta as she is continuing.] So... what's on my mind is that, if anything, we discovered in the last mission that the Sylphid are doing some pretty grisly things to people. And... even if we want to go home, it seems pretty obvious that us being here means that we can work on making sure the people we care about won't be taken away. I think that is important enough to be displaced for a little while. Not because we want to be, but because we're in a position to do something about it. [As she says that, the nerves bleeds away to genuine concern and she thinks about the ones back home that she wanted to keep safe. Yeah, this... this was important.]

[Her attention returns to the camera. Oops, that got a bit dark, huh? The bright cheery smile returns and she tries her best to pick up the energy again.]
A-Anyways! Um! I thought it would be good to start with introductions! So, um, what you want to go by, and whether or not you have a skill you have that you'd want other people to know, and—OH! places!! Are there any places in camp you think people should know about??

As for me, I'm pretty good with guns and weapons! I can do weapon maintenance a-and... yeah that's pretty much it. Oh! And you should definitely check out the Xin Markets! It's where I picked up these clothes. [Indeed, she's sporting a rather cute black high neck with a white high waist pleated mini.]

So, that's it for me, Eight!

So for now that's all we know,
just stay upbeat and go with the flow!


[She does the pose one more time before rushing up to the camera and turning off the record.]

( leia organa ⇄ video )

( It's been about a week since she was rescued and brought to the camp. The first mission hasn't happened yet but there is chatter about it coming up. The adults seem busy and stressed, and Leia is bored except for finding new ways to use her budding Heba power of Robotics Mastery. However, she feels limited in growing her skill by practice and application without a proper supply flow and, importantly, tools and a workshop. Sure, there is an armory and related things at the camp, but someone almost always shoes her away, and she wants her own place to focus and do what she wants. The precocious ten year old also thinks she is full of great ideas, and will happily tell you that herself.

The feed shows her in her room. Her hair is cleaned and done up the way she likes it again, braided like a crown on her head. She is wearing a flowing white blouse, pushed up at the arms, with a thick leather belt around her waist - sadly, she hasn't found Lola or Tala's holster she was given by Obi-Wan back home, so the belt is more a fashion accessory. Leia also has on loose emerald pants that cling closer to the leg at the bottom, tucked into brown - also leather - boots that she doesn't love but work for now.

Her room looks almost completely empty and unused despite having been at the camp a week (she been staying with Obi-Wan, mostly, and finding excuses to have sleepovers with nice people), except for some tools she stole acquired and a growing heap of mechanical scraps, wires, electronic bits, and generally related doodads and whatchamacallits. She looks very pleased with herself.

ooc: prose instead and switching to action 100% welcome! )


Hi everyone. It's Leia again. So, I have a question. Well...I guess it's also a request. I want to make a droid shop out of my room, so I can build and repair things and help people! But I need help turning my room into a workshop, and I need a LOT more supplies. I wanted to know if anyone would help me so I can help everyone else too!
