001 ☆ video/action (if you're in Traverse!)

Aug 19, 2011 19:43

[Though standing quite calm, one can see the unnerved and concerned thought behind the eyes of the young man who has just appeared on the feed. He looks tired, but he bows his head politely in greeting.]Hello there. It's become apparent to me that I am among the many new arrivals here. ...I felt a very powerful disturbance in the Force before I ( Read more... )

What's a force?

[Video] abreakingwave August 20 2011, 02:01:52 UTC

The Force -- [He corrects gently.] -- is what connects and binds the galaxy where I'm from. It's a field of energy created by all living things, and there are many facets of the Force.

So it's this energy stuff and there's a lot of it. And you can feel all that?

[Video] abreakingwave August 20 2011, 02:22:32 UTC

Essentially, yes. Not everyone has the ability to feel it, however. Only those who are Force-sensitive are able to sense and use the Force. Where I'm from, we have Jedi. They are an Order of Force-sensitive people who dedicate their lives to studying and understanding this power; I am also a Jedi.

Why are you so interested in the Force?

[Video] abreakingwave August 20 2011, 02:33:34 UTC

[He laughs.] You're very curious! I could ask you the same thing. [But he doesn't mind. In fact, he looks considerably less burdened than when he started the feed.] For many of us, it's a way of life. Spirituality. I'm sure you have religion in your world, don't you?

[Video] blitz_acing August 20 2011, 02:59:43 UTC

[He shrugs.] Why not? It sounds like it's important to you. I mean I might as well learn about you. [His eyes drift to the side.] Yeah uh, religion and I don't particularly get along any more.

[Video] abreakingwave August 20 2011, 03:38:59 UTC

It's very important to me. A shame more people couldn't share your sentiments [It's his turn to be curious; the smile fades a bit, but only to an expression more thoughtful.] Why's that?

[Video] blitz_acing August 20 2011, 03:53:07 UTC

Sounds like it would be pretty important to your world too, if it's apart of everything. You don't think I'm being too nosy? [He smiles, a little. Almost as if he doesn't realize it.] Because I found out the thing that created it had sacrificed thousands of lives of its followers and everyone else for the sake of a dream. Not that I followed it to begin with.

[Video] abreakingwave August 20 2011, 04:11:26 UTC

Hardly. I can't help but be curious about the other worlds that are out there, myself. How they function, how they differ from the one I come from. If nothing else, I can appreciate the desire for knowledge. [He listens intently to the answer to his question, a frown pulling at his mouth.] That's horrible. It sounds more like a cult than a religion...

[Video] blitz_acing August 20 2011, 04:32:47 UTC

I think most worlds have a least one cool thing about them! What might be normal for someone can be exciting for someone else. [His smile turns cynical.] An almost world-wide cult. It's not like most of them were asking to be sacrificed. But, it should be gone now, so it's okay.

[Video] abreakingwave August 20 2011, 07:04:03 UTC

I agree. It's very refreshing to meet someone so insightful. [His brows raise.] I sincerely hope you're right. You can't always prevent bad things from happening, but you can try to make it well again.

[Video] blitz_acing August 20 2011, 15:53:01 UTC

[He scratches the back of his head, looking almost shy. Then, he grins confidently.] We're going to restore all the worlds! So this Force, what do you do with it when you learn about it?

[Video] abreakingwave August 21 2011, 08:21:49 UTC

I would very much like to help in doing so. [He considers the other man's questions for a moment.] Many things. First, you are taught to sense the things around you. Environment, people, wildlife. It's important to the Jedi to be able to understand the world around them-- to be in tune to it. Even now, I can feel the disturbances from the worlds lost to this Darkness. [His smile turns sad as he says this; it's not a nice feeling. It's hard to control his anxiety when he feels so much, all at once. He is quick to shake off the sadness, however.]

Jedi are also trained in combat to use their abilities to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Most commonly, we are trained in telekinesis; the Force allows us to feel out an object and will it to move. Some even train to send waves of power through the air. Like a shockwave.

Ah-- please stop me if I'm rambling.

[Video] blitz_acing August 21 2011, 13:58:41 UTC

Hey, I wanted to know.

But how can a Jedi sense all that and...well, stay sane?

[Video] abreakingwave August 22 2011, 00:50:46 UTC

It sort of becomes a part of us. It's like an extension of all of our senses-- eyes, ears, touch... If nothing else, it functions much like a sixth sense, allowing us to sense danger when it is near, or to see things before they happen. Other things.

It's not easy. I'm still an apprentice, myself-- and I am still learning much about that branch of the Force. [Pause.] Well, I have a lot to learn in general. There is still much I don't know.
