Luke Skywalker | OTA

[neverjoinyou]

[Yeah, kickin' it old school, but I can't get enough of this boy. Open to all, including spoilers.]

[let_it_in]

(Why not play where it was left off? Ya know, in silence.)

"You knew I would come, didn't you?"

as long as you're cool with bb!Luke icons and the fact we don't know what went down

[neverjoinyou]

"I didn't know. But I hoped."

Totally fine with it!

[let_it_in]

Her arm that had been outstretched with the light saber slowly fell back to her side as she stepped closer towards him.

She had so many questions, and Rey knew he was the one who would have the answers. Whether or not he willingly shared them was up to, well, him.

"I heard your voice before I knew it belonged to you."

[neverjoinyou]

Luke shook his head, eyes sad.

"I should have been there for you," he said. "You shouldn't have had to wonder."

[let_it_in]

Rey had only come to terms with the fact that she was able to sense and use the force, but the fact that Luke had just more or less confirmed it...

"How long have you known?"

[neverjoinyou]

"Always." The answer is instant, direct, though the cost is written in his eyes. "My regret is that it wasn't safe for you to be associated with me." Luke's head tilts, watching her, reading the signs. He's not ignorant of the fact that one of his closest friends is now dead. The flare in the Force when Han had been killed was not something he could ignore, and he mourned the loss as a friend as well as one who considered himself partially responsible.

He allows himself, and Rey, a slight smile. Because it's a reunion much longed for, no matter the circumstances.

"I am so, so sorry."

[whatawaste]

She lay across the awning over the entrance to the club, draped in nothing but some strategically placed strands of pearls. It was Pryce's latest scheme to try to drum up business. Frankly, Maya thought it was just giving the show away for free, but she wasn't about to argue with the boss.

Anyway, when people stopped to stare at her, sometimes, she could sink hooks into their minds from where she lay.

You want to come into the show. You want to drink and tip the dancing girls...

It was surprisingly easy.

Which made it all the more confusing when she found that she couldn't penetrate the mind of a boy, one who didn't even look old enough to shave, let alone patronize Pryce's den. She had no idea who he was or what he was doing in a disgusting dive like this, but she found herself trying again and again to brush against his mind.

[neverjoinyou]

He felt the touch of another mind before he noticed the woman. He'd just been passing by, but the effort to penetrate his mind stopped him and Luke stood on the street outside, searching for the source of the disturbance.

When he found it, he couldn't help but blush--and also furrow his brow in amused disbelief.

Is that the best you can think of to do with your powers?

[whatawaste]

The surprise only registered on Maya's face for a flickering second, and then it was gone. She had to play her part, or Pryce would have her head. He had a soft spot for her, but it only went so far. And the second his bottom line was in jeopardy, all sentiment went out the window.

She resumed her provocative pose, looking at passing men and women from under her heavy eyelashes.

But her mind wandered out again...

How did you do that?

[neverjoinyou]

Luke takes up a spot a little below and to the left, when it's clear she's deliberately not watching him. He leans against the wall, crossing his arms.

How do you?

[whatawaste]

Wasn't that a good question. Maya nearly broke character to snort. Definitely not sexy. And she had to sell sex, sex, sex. It was easier for the other dancing girls. Most of them were Twi'lek. They didn't have to work for it like a lowly Human girl.

I don't know. She thought it back to him with, perhaps, a wistful manner of thinking. I just do.

[neverjoinyou]

Luke huffs, a mix of irritation and wonder filling him. To find someone like her, in a place like this? It doesn't make any sense. But then, he'd never heard of the Force, either.

It's called the Force. And you're... very strong.

Even he doesn't do this much, but that's partly because he hasn't met many Force telepaths.

It's in and around every living thing. Some of us... can focus it.

[whatawaste]

The Force? That ridiculous ancient religion?

Maya had heard of it. But in the same way she'd heard of fairy tales. No one she knew put much stock in it. Except for her senile grandfather. But he'd been pretty far-gone by the time Maya got to know him.

Nuts. He'd been nuts.

It couldn't possibly be true. The boy was just messing with her, having a laugh at her expense...

[neverjoinyou]

Do you have another explanation?

He could understand people not believing in the Force when they'd never met anyone using it. But to dismiss it once you were aware of your own abilities?

[whatawaste]

No. She didn't have an explanation.

But Maya was used to working with hustlers and thieves and con artists. She wasn't the type to accept something--anything--on faith. Especially the outdated nonsense of faith itself.

The simplest explanation was usually best. The simplest being that he was conning her.

But how? She'd only ever met one other person who could put thoughts into her head before. And he was a mute, ten-year-old kid. Not a lot of explanations there.

So. If she wanted an explanation...

Buy me.

[newgenwraith]

[totally on Yavin 4. Totally working on fixing his x-wing while BB-8 runs diagnostics. Totally did not go through a black hole sending him back in time.

Totally not yelling at his droid]

Tell me something I don't know!

[neverjoinyou]

[The battle's over and the celebration has begun to die down, and Luke's starting to find his footing again as he adjusts to being The One Who Destroyed the Death Star while they figure out their next moves, and he's casually avoiding his new-found fame by taking a walk, alone.

That's when he comes across the X-Wing and the pilot, with a slightly unfamiliar flight suit and a very unfamiliar droid. Luke frowns--it's not like he's buddies with all of them, but he recognizes most of the pilots by sight, at this point.]

There a problem with your ship?

[newgenwraith]

There's a long list of problems, it seems. Nothing I can't fix, but this is the worst time for it to decide to break down on me.

[he looked over at the hero and there is something about his face that is familiar, but he can't place it]

[neverjoinyou]

Could be worse. [Luke shrugs.] That Death Star could still be on its way here. I'd say your timing's pretty good, all things considered.

[newgenwraith]

The... death star? When did they build another one?

[neverjoinyou]

[Luke's brow furrows. O-kay.]

Another? [It'd be stupid to try that, he thinks. Never happen.] There was just the one? I... blew it up? [He winces at how pretentious that sounds but it's not like he's not proud of it. He's just kind of surprised the guy doesn't know.]

[newgenwraith]

No... no Luke Skywalker blew it up like, thirty years ago.

[what the hell... he looked over at BB-8 who was starting to whistle but talking too fast for him to get it. Something about the hyperspace jump...]

[neverjoinyou]

[Luke's eyebrows start to climb up under his bangs. This is... either someone's playing a bad prank on him, or this guy's crazy.]

Try three days ago.

[newgenwraith]

... that's not possible.

[he wasn't even born until two years after that battle. he's going to just turn to look at the droid]

Where the kriff did you take us, BB-8?
