If I understand this right, there could be people here I know, despite that I could swear I just talked to them at home, right? [Luke frowns, looking rather tired as he runs a hand through his hair, sitting at the console in the Welcome Center.] In that case, if anyone knows if Leia Organa or... [A pause, because does it work if the last you knew someone was frozen in carbonite and basically in coma?] Han Solo are here, please tell me. Or tell them Luke's looking for them.
[He smiles briefly, his expression brightening a little in general. Something strikes him then, though, and Luke's gaze lowers for a moment, frowning at something out of view before he looks up again.]
Aside from that, I'd like to know what sort of prosthesis are available, and the tools to repair them. Or if the tools could be adjusted for already existing ones. I don't need any of that at the moment, but you never know.
[Better be as prepared as he can, before something happens, for once. Especially in a new place. He's had his new hand not two weeks yet, and he's very, very aware of it... which is probably why this occurred to him at all.]

[He grins.]
And, yeah. It's a symbol of prestige, and the champions are expected to give prizes from their own posessions as a token of their respect to the winners. All the weapons are blunted, so it's not like it's to the death.
I've heard they use it to train their militia, too.
Video
[Luke agrees almost cheerfully, but there's seriousness underneath it, because well. It's true enough, and all joking aside, medical personnel have a hard job.]
Ah. [Luke relaxes a little, nodding.] That's better than I thought, though blunted weapons doesn't really mean much.
[He quirks an eyebrow at that; you can do a lot of damage that way. Maybe even worse than killing someone.]
I guess it could be a pretty effective way to do that, though... sort of like a real combat experience, with less chance of dying.
Video
[He shrugs.]
I can see the benefit, though.
Video
Basically. But you also run the risk of putting your soldiers out of commission for a potentially long time, depending on the injuries they get.
[It seemed like a needlessly brutal way to train your militia, though the violence wasn't something Luke was unfamiliar with.]
Video
Video
[He grins briefly, shaking his head.]
Magic, like how?
[Luke's not exactly about to question that; he knows very well what the Force could be seen like, what Han has practically called it, more than once. So that's simply curiosity instead of incredulity.]
Video
[He snaps his fingers on the last word.]
It's amazing. Never seen anything like it. Professor Sage, the head of the Healer's Guild, can do stuff like that.
Video
Never heard of anything like that.
[And again, it leaves him wondering if healing is something you can learn to do with the Force...]
Definitely makes this place a little safer, but I'd still rather not get injured.
Re: Video
Video
[He frowns thoughtfully, he really needs to figure that one out.]
Video
Video
Yeah, I guess you could sort of call it that, since the things you can do with it... [an eyeroll.] It's certainly left me disbelieving a few times.
[Most notably a few weeks ago.]
Bacta can't fix everything, but it can help the body regrow tissue to a large degree and help heal a lot of other things... Like severe hypothermia. Don't ask me about the specifics, though, I'm not a doctor. [He grins briefly and shrugs.]
Video
[Because this might be worth looking into.]
Video
I have a medkit in my X-wing, there's a medkit in the 'fresher in my room, both of those have at least bacta patches, but I don't really carry that with me.
[There's a soft snort.]
Not that more than one person hasn't said I probably should carry at least something with me, more than once.
[Mostly jokingly, but the exasperation had been real more than once.]
Video
[He sighs, but doesn't go on about it.]
Well, either way, if you find yourself injured, the Guild's always got it's doors open. And if you can't get there, shout over the radio. Someone'll come help.
Video
That's good to know, though... and something of a relief.
[Not like he still intended to get himself injured, but it was good that there was resources in place.]
Video
[He's grinning, though, mostly not serious.]
Anyway, I'll leave ya to settle in, mate. Any more questions, feel free to ask.
