Hello

[farmboyjedi]

Even with the contract I signed, this is a lot to process. Even after all I've seen in my life, time travel is kind of shocking to me. I keep wondering who else could be here. And how my age has been altered.

Anyway, my name is Luke. Luke Skywalker. I look like a boy right now, but I'm really an adult. I'm a little out of sorts right now, but I will help any way I can to make things better while I'm here.

[Okay, now she's just being pranked.]

I'm sorry. You're...48?

[Because she's having a hard time swallowing that. No one has that kind of optimism. No one over the age of, like, three.]

It's hard to prove, I know it, but it's true.

[He's surmising she probably wonders why he's still so upbeat. It's just who he is, mostly.]

I've just always been a natural optimist. I do get teased about it at times, I'll say that.

[He can't recall how many times he's heard "optimism is your specialty, farmboy, not mine." from Mara.]

[Man, this guy would get along great with Auntie Diana. They could out-do one another with sunshine and puppies.

In the meanwhile, Fatima takes a breath.

Benefit of the doubt, benefit of the doubt, benefit of the doubt...]

Well. Um. Our ship, the Moira, crashed here. There isn't the best chain of command happening. People just tend to be sticking with their friends, I guess?

[Luke nods.] I guess that is natural. It's always good to see a familiar face in a situation like this.

Or almost always.

I'm still grappling with the apparent time travel...seeing faces I thought I never would again.

Running into other people from your world?

[Lucky kid. Er...old man?]

That happens sometimes. In the multiverse.

That's what we call it.

Re: [VIDEO]

[farmboyjedi]

Yeah. People who shouldn't be alive in my time.

I guess I'll have to get used to it, but it's just a shock.

I don't think I've heard that term before...multiverse. Interesting.

You're gonna have to get used to "interesting" around here.

(OOC sorry missed this)

If it's more unpredictable than my life at home, it must really be strange here.

[dust_of_life]

Well.

Have you ever turned into a small child at home?

Re: [VIDEO]

[farmboyjedi]

No. No, you're right...that part's definitely stranger than back home.

[dust_of_life]

I rest my case.
