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.]

[Skulduggery's at the Hotel console, looking exactly the same as he did when he went missing a month ago. He's impeccably dressed in a suit, hat, scarf, and coat - and also happens to be a living skeleton, for those new to the turtle. 'Back from the dead' has new and interesting connotations where he's concerned.

It's April 1st. It's a little past dinnertime. Skulduggery takes a moment or two, once the video turns on, before he speaks. He sounds the same as ever, too - Irish, his voice as smooth as velvet.]


I promise, I don't do this on purpose.

[That's directed at... a lot of people, actually. Pepper. Solomon. Cain. Raine. Anton. Erskine. Honestly, anyone who's not so much relieved at his return than annoyed.]

It looks like I missed quite a bit. Someone died, someone didn't die, everyone's blaming everyone else, and now we have a person or persons unknown trying to assassinate every prominent kedan in the city. On top of that, I heard something about an earthquake and power outages. Does anyone know more than the barest details about any of this? And if they do, would they be willing to share it?

[He reaches out to end the feed, then pauses.]

Oh, and why is all the furniture on the ceiling?

[OOC: Feel free to approach Skulduggery in person at the console if you're in the Hotel!]

[Later in the evening, some time after River's broadcast, Obi-Wan finally settles himself down at a console and looks a bit tired.]

My apologies for any panic or inconvenience that was caused. My colleagues and I were responsible for the fluctuations earlier.

We attempted to reach Tu Vishan's mind through the Force. While I can assure you he's there, I'm afraid he was unresponsive, aside from what everyone apparently witnessed.

[ OOC: In relation to this event. The video feed from the console in the lobby of the Midnight Hotel is still showing a bit of static as it boots back up from the unexpected power loss and restart. In the background, the lights are also beginning to power back on. ]

Circuits stop and start, follow the path of least resistance, avoids the open loop. You can't make water flow uphill, but maybe we don't have to... we just need to complete the circuit.

[ a pause ]

We just knocked.

Good evening, everyone. I understand that recent events and revelations have been... shocking, to say the least. I would hope that all of us will reserve any judgment until we have heard the whole story, including Doctor Milyn's side. And that is all I will say on that.

There is another matter that I need to bring to your attention, and one that is quite pressing.

We have been grounded a few weeks. As most of you are aware, the purpose of landing Tu Vishan here was to afford us more time in finding a way to awaken him. I believe a means may be found by utilizing the power of the Xunutane. However, before I go to the heads of the families and the Dexedi with this request, I had hoped to gain both information to see if it is a viable means, and also input and suggestions from other foreigners.

Now something most intriguing occurred while I was making my inquiries- my path crossed with a number of metalworkers who were researching the crystals that caused last month's truth compulsion. I agreed to work alongside them in a number of experiments - one of which involved setting active crystals alongside those that gave no readings. There was a brief reaction in which the "dead" stones gave off a bit of light and I...

[He hesitates here because it's not so much that it sounds absurd, but more he simply doesn't have the words to describe it.]

...I saw many things, all at once. The interiors of caves and homes. It was as though I had hundreds of eyes all in different places.

[To tell the truth, he was rather disoriented after the whole ordeal and needed to go sit down and have a headache.]

Needless to say, the other metalworkers did not share in this vision. I believe it came about due to my soul gem - a hypothesis the metalworkers agreed to be possible, though I would like to repeat the experiment with other foreigners to verify. They have kindly permitted me a secure facility as well as aid in writing up questions.

As I'm sure you've gathered, we would require volunteers for this. I am seeking those willing to sit through the same experiment as myself. I am also looking for people with psychic or magical capabilities for getting a read on things.

I will ask that no volunteers be under the age of eighteen for these experiments as I cannot guarantee there is no risk involved.

If you would prefer more discretion than speaking here, you can contact me privately on this frequency.

I thank you, and bid you all a good evening.

[Following up on a conversation with Tu Yunxu at the truth party, Pepper appears on the video looking a little pensive. She's totally not just doing this for Yunxu, but with all the things they've had going on recently it's no wonder there haven't been any big, new developments.]

So, uh, now that we've gotten ourselves anchored and aren't sinking anymore, does anyone have ideas on next steps to waking Tu Vishan up? I know I'm not really much help in that area, but I'm betting everyone would be happier if he was awake. Just after some brainstorming here.

[The feed opens with a somewhat concerned and contemplative Obi-Wan Kenobi.]

My fellow Foreigners and the citizens of Keeliai, I have some news that I believe everyone here needs to be made aware of. 

[His tone is most serious, and he hopes that it will get the attention of anyone who sees this video.]

I've recently felt a disturbance in the Force. For those of you who are unaware, the Force is an energy field that penetrates and binds all living things. In my galaxy, those who are sensitive to it's power are granted extraordinary abilities. 

I do not know what this disturbance is, or where it is coming from, but I feel that it is significant. Thus I ask that everyone be mindful of themselves and their surroundings. If anyone notices anything unusual, I urge you to not keep it to yourself. Please either inform myself or make an announcement via the consoles.

[Padmé has seen some things in her life, but never before has she thought that she'd been stopped by machinery. These strange consoles have given her the hardest time and she only wishes to find out if anyone she knows is here. How she longs for the ease of the holos back home. But she does finally get the contraption to work and she smooths the lines around her eyes and face before setting to contacting the other people.]

Greetings, fellow Foreigners. My name is Senator Padmé Amidala. I am aware that the Welcome Center exists and I have been thoroughly educated about my current situation. [And if she could sound any more displeased about it, she would yell. But, proper decorum won't allow her to do so. Not when these people she's addressing aren't responsible. Or she's not pleading a case on the Senate floor.] Some of this sounds fantastical at best, but I won't sit here and beleaguer you all with how unpleasant I find this whole ordeal. I'm sure that it's been covered by many others by now.

There are only two things I wish to know that I think you all might be able to help me with. Do the names Bail Organa, Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi sound familiar to anyone? If they do, please contact me.

The second is has anyone seen my protocol droid? He would appear to be a man of golden metal and responds to the name of C-3P0.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 [Oh look, a certain Jedi is actually making a console post instead of stalking everyone else's.]

My apologies for not introducing myself here sooner. To those I haven't already met, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. 

[Now that, that's done. He has a very important question.]

Does anyone know what 'grasshopper' means?

[The man who appears onscreen appears to have his eyes closed. If you pay attention, you might notice a pair of lightsabers spinning in midair in the background. By all appearances, he doesn't seem to notice the screen...until he speaks.]

I...need help. Specifically, I need a medic or a healer.

[He pauses, opening his eyes.]

Anyone who knows anything about cloning, and...memory tampering. I...have some questions that need answers.

[ There's a crackle of static and a mechanical whine, like someone is fiddling with the radio, before words start snapping into place. There's an unfamiliar voice first: ] —the Force, this wouldn't have occurred.

[ Then it's Casey, who is speaking with an almost-hushed tone. ] You definitely had enough force a second ago...

What I did before did not involve the use of the Force. [ Sounding like he's speaking to a small child. ]

The Force. Like magic?

Some would consider it as such.

It'll come back. My magic futzed out like that, too. But first... aha— [ The broadcast cuts out to Casey falling into a small coughing fit, as they finally manage the filter they were working for. ]
