[Video] Tuesday of Week 31, late morning

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[This face right here is a very eager face. Luke is grinning ear to ear and his voice reaches decibels that make the sound system of his communicator clip slightly as he excitedly greets anyone listening in.]

Hey, we're in comm range again! Yup, that means we'll be home soon though I'm afraid I can't give exact details yet. Boy did I miss you guys.

Is anybody around?

[Some might notice that Luke is more chipper than usual. Sure, he'll be happy to talk to just about anyone who replies, especially friends, but those who know better will be well aware of the real source of his excitement. He's almost giddy at the idea of getting to see Kaylee again soon.]

You need better hobbies, kid.

[Not quite an accurate nickname given that Bones is only in his late 30s, no matter how old and world-weary his soul. He smirks a little, all the same.]

Get back here and we can toss you into the thick of it. Details can wait 'til you're not on the network, I'd guess.

[Luke's used to getting called 'kid' so he doesn't even think twice about it. He just grins.]

Can't wait!

[Reminded of Jim yet?]

We'll be making contact again soon with more details of our arrival.

[Forcibly. Some of Bones' pained expression probably isn't entirely for show. He shakes his head slightly.]

You have a strange sense of self preservation... but fine, fine, I'll be standing by to sew you and everyone else back together as needed. As usual.

I'll keep an ear out for more details. You need anything waiting for you on your return?

[Despite the painfully different personalities, Luke likes Bones, though mostly in a likes-to-troll sort of way. Luke finds his sarcastic, jaded pessimism funny.]

You probably won't be hearing from us again until we touch land so a rendezvous won't really be a possibility. My guess is that if anyone wants to escort us back to the Old City, they'll have to meet us halfway. Basic supplies like food and such for the journey home is probably all we'll need.

[This seems to be Bones' lot in life. Although given the sheer number of people who enjoy keeping him around, it's questionable just how much he believes his own press.]

In that case, I'll hope not to hear from you until you're all back here, since the alternative means one of you is bleeding out in a way that Solus can't fix on his on.

Safe travels, kid.
