Action, Seventh Heaven

[Sunlight creeping through the windows and striking her in the face was how Leia woke up. She put a hand up to her head to stave off the headache that was promising to be a hindrance later if she didn't nip it in the bud now. She looked around, not recognizing where she was. This certainly wasn't the room she'd fallen asleep in the night before.

No. This was a...bar.

She'd never been in a bar her entire life.

She looked down at her clothes, only to find out that she was in some strange white dress instead of the outfit she remembered passing out in. It vaguely resembled some of her other outfits, but she couldn't see how practical it would be in space. That certainly didn't help her headache. A swatch of familiar fabric caught her eye and as she looked at the chair to her left, she found her clothes folded up perfectly, a book (of all things) placed directly on top of them. The table was set as if she was going to eat with someone at the place next to her.]

What is going on?

[An insistent itch at her shoulder blades has her reaching behind to scratch at it, only to find the beginnings of soft downy feathers. Okay...Don't freak out. Don't freak out.

She casually reached over to grab her belongings, as well as the book. Taking a better look at the cover, she saw her name embossed in fancy gold filigree. It unnerved her, but she couldn't feel anything inherently...wrong...with it.

Although, wondering about feelings had her wondering about her brother. Her twin brother. Cautiously, she reached out with what Luke and Anakin's ghost said she possessed, trying to tap into the great Force to reach out to Luke.]

Later, Action

[Later, Leia will be dressed in her own clothes again, one of her blasters strapped to her side and the other in her hand. The journal with her name on it has been shoved into her bag as she walks through the village.

Suspicious? Yes, she's as suspicious as hell. And she's not afraid to show it.

Her path takes her from the center of town to the outskirts, checking the forests and buildings for signs of people she might have known. However, it doesn't take much to catch unwanted attention from her.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She nodded in thought. That was actually useful information.]

So, you're saying that every sixty days, this village was made home for displaced peoples but that's changed to every thirty days? How is that even possible?

It is yet unexplained. And considering the nature of Luceti, that is not a surprise. Though it could mean a number of things...

[Spock refrained from explaining further.]

If you wish to hear of any other theories, I would be amenable to sharing them with you.

[She considered her options. Outside of Luke, this Spock seemed to be the most knowledgeable person she'd run into as of yet.

She could do worse.

At least it wasn't someone like Han.]

I wouldn't be adverse to that, Mr Spock.

[Spock nodded, looking pleased.]

Very well. How familiar have you become with the village? I presume you have acquired a place to stay?

Edited 2013-10-18 15:13 (UTC)

Yes, I have. My brother, Luke Skywalker, has lived here for a while now. He's offered me lodging with him. And this is the first chance I've had to explore the village actually.

Indeed, Mister Skywalker is a good friend of mine... and has helped me on a number of occasions.

You and him bear a striking resemblance.

[The Vulcan gives her a small half-smile.]
If you require a tour guide, I would be amenable to showing you around. Though I believe you will have no difficulty with the technology here.

That sounds like Luke. He's always trying to do things for other people. [She smiles fondly at that thought.]

I should hope that we look similar. We're twins after all.

[She thinks over his proposition. It was true that she has yet to get very acquainted with the village, but this man was a virtual stranger.

But, then she remembers that she has not one, but two blasters on her and ready for usage.]

I would like that, actually. It would save me a lot of trouble in the long run.

[Spock again looks pleased as he gestures toward the village center, indicating that they should go that way.]

If you wish to someday walk the perimeter of Luceti, I suggest that you do not do it alone, just in case. However, you will find a barrier that does not allow you to leave this place.

For now allow me to show you the Dome.

[She gladly heads in the general direction he indicates. She still makes sure to have her hands ready if she needed to protect herself.]

Why would I need someone to walk with him when I check the perimeter? And what is this Dome?

People disappear here on a regular basis. It would not do for that to happen and no one notice. You could either be sent back home to your universe, or kidnapped by the Malnosso to be subjected to various forms of experimentation.

[Spock didn't know how detailed he should get in that...]

The Dome is a building with holographic technology. It is utilized for training simulations and other activities. I myself spend much time there programming different simulations for private or public use.

[Well, that was another confirmation of information that she's received so far.]

What else can you tell me? Luke's mentioned Shifts, but that doesn't mean that he's gone into much detail.

And the Dome sounds interesting. How detailed are these holo-simulations?

The shifts are not easy to explain, because they take a different form every time. The Malnosso claim that they subject us to them for the sole purpose of getting us out of here. That has yet to be confirmed...

Though, if you have any specific question about them, please ask, I will do my best to answer.

As for the Dome, it is the most advanced simulation technology I have seen yet. It is possible to interact with the holograms, making it for combat training.

From what I've learned, the Shifts seem to bring more trouble than good. You've said yourself that they happen on a semi-regular basis. I find it hard to believe that they're really attempting to assist us in returning back to our worlds.

Indeed, their claims mean very little when compared to how they treat us.
I truly hope that you are never kidnapped.

[Indeed, no one had a good experience from that.]

[Better and better....]

I've already been kidnapped.

Indeed. But you will find that an interesting sort of peace is present in Luceti at various times. The peace is interrupted during shifts, and when the Malnosso decide to kidnap individuals for experimentation. I have been informed that it is their way of determining how to better 'help' us...

...the results have yet to be seen.

[Spock sounds bitter... for a Vulcan.]

[Leia raises an eyebrow at her new companion.]

You sound as if you don't believe them, Mr Spock.

The Malnosso are trapped here as well, just like us. Their advantage is the amount of time they have spent here, learning the world's technologies. They care only for themselves. They experiment on us so that they might find a way out of here.

[Spock has many theories, but there are some that he has not spoken of with anybody.]
