This is an overflow for the intro post.

@WANDA.

[t65]

[from here.]

[Depending on how Wanda's abilities work (who knows!), she may sense the heartbeat, aura, or general sense of Luke desperately trying not to laugh too loud while he packs another snowball together. Can she catch him in time before he lobs it at her? Only time (and the overflow log) will tell.]

[seeingscarlet]

[Luke may or may not be aware of Wanda's awareness passing over him like a radar. She feels that glee, and glee of the mischievous variety is only coming from that one direction.

Her fingers are slightly red. Throwing another snowball at her might get mildly interesting.

Try again, Y/N?]

[t65]

[Y, obviously.]

[Luke waits a little longer, and peeks over the side of the snow drift he's hiding behind. Target acquired, he lobs another snowball in her general direction.]

[seeingscarlet]

[She's expecting it this time and catches it with her powers in midair. Cheating? Definitely.

She sends it back in the same direction it came from. A warning shot, but no proper retaliation - yet. Shaking the snow-laden branches over that drift does seem like a rather tempting idea, though...]

[t65]

[Luke, of course, has never been one for stealth. As soon as he sees the snowball stop in the air, he stands up with an excited expression on his face.]

Wow! I should have guessed you could do that!

@SIDESWIPE.

[t65]

[from here.]

You've never... [Luke narrows his eyes.] Holographically projected yourself before...? [Cybertronians continue to be the most confusing species ever.]

[redshitlord]

Nope. I didn't even know I could.

[SHRUG. It seems normal enough now, but...]

[t65]

Really? How'd you find out?

[redshitlord]

Riptide told me. Sort of.

... he's back, by the way.

@STARSCREAM.

[t65]

[from here.]

Oh, anywhere, lately. [Luke chuckles. It's a bit tricky when you move around with a mobile base.] Anywhere the Imperials won't catch us, which is where the hide-and-seek comes in.

[aerospacecommander]

Imperials? Some sort of government system? Are you a criminal?

[Which Starscream is not going to judge that just makes Luke more interesting.]

[t65]

[Luke laughs, mostly not nervously.] That depends on what you mean by 'criminal', I guess. The government we're fighting against should be illegal. [Which answers a few questions if you can speak Political Bias fluently.] But I'm wanted on most systems. Why, do you want the bounty?

[He's joking, because no one here would pay that bounty. As far as he's concerned, he's completely safe.]

@J.

[t65]

[from here.]

[And Luke maybe feels a little guilty over this unworthy use of the Force, but he's far too pleased with himself to let that show. Triumph wins out as he presents the toy to his companion.]

I'm Luke, by the way. Luke Skywalker. It's nice to meet you! [He holds his hand out for a shake.]

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

[Still wearing a puzzled look she reaches out to take his hand to her own and gives it a rather awkward shake. She quickly glances past him to take a look at the booth clerk who acts like nothing happened.

Knitting her brows into a slight frown, she takes the toy from and opens her MID once again, typing him a message:]

what was that? [Yeah, forget about introductions.]

[t65]

[Luke winces. He really should have seen this coming. He assumes out of hand that this woman, with her cold disdain in such ready supply, is quietly judging him.]

Uh- A trick. A mindtrick. I thought it wouldn't hurt, it was such a little thing...

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

[She might come off as cold or disdain, yes, but there's still not a trace of judgement in J right now. She's more curious than anything. Even though people with supernatural powers on Moira ought to be old news to her, it was still puzzling to see someone posses them especially when they came in such variety.

She jerks her head a little on the side, looking him up and down with perplexed eyes. A mindtrick? That makes her think of the woman in red whom she had had unfortunate encounter with, Wanda or what was her name, the one who could read minds. She wonders if he could, too.

Her stare intensifies a little, eyes narrowing as he expects him to be able to tell what's going through her head.]

@TAILGATE.

[t65]

[from here.]

Tailgate? [She could almost be from Tatooine with that name. Tailgater, probably.] It's no problem. I'm glad you weren't too fond of it.

[He tries to joke as he stands, dusting himself off. He holds out his hand for a shake-- the right one, cybernetics and all.] Luke Skywalker. It's nice to meet you, even if I wish we could have met under better circumstances.

@SUNNY.

[t65]

[from here.]

[Luke has seen enough aliens in his life not to be too bothered by rows and rows of sharp incisors. He regularly receives lung-crushing hugs from Chewie, after all. So, Luke sees the green one, and nods, smiling.]

Good choice.

[He aims the dinky little slug-thrower the booth attendant gave him, and begins firing at a series of moving targets, dancing 'teddy bears', whatever those are.]

@CLARA.

[t65]

[from here.]

[Luke frowns at her.] I don't worry too much! [He seems personally offended. It's everyone else who worries too much! Obviously!] You're the one who's never flown before!

[Ah, it's that time again. Time to argue about inconsequential stuff.]

@JACKY.

[t65]

[from here.]

[Maybe men carry purses on this girl's world, who knows. All Luke cares about in that moment is making sure no one gets killed.]

Hey! Hey! Don't hurt him. [Luke holds his hands out in front, attempting to pacify them both. No Jedi mindtricks, just genuine pleading.] Nobody has to get hurt over this.

@ED.

[t65]

[from here.]

That's not any science I've ever seen. [Luke scrambles to get up, and runs over to the canon to inspect it.] How did you...? Is it some kind of energy field?

that icon, i am dying.

[forfeits]

[ Up close, Luke might see the canon actually has decoration, too. Little skulls and swirls and flames etched into the icy barrel. Priorities. ]

Sort of, I guess. Everything has energy, and it's just about knowing how to manipulate it. I can make almost anything if I have the right materials, but I can't change what the materials actually are. They have to have the right components.

my fav tbh.

[t65]

[Luke gapes over all of it with clear sense of wonder and curiosity.]

It's so intricate! How do you have the energy? Where does it come from?

his dumb face.

[forfeits]

Well, it's just knowing how to use the energy. Snow is just water, you see, and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, so if I know how the kinetic energy in that works, then I can use that same energy to manipulate it. It helps that the makeup of the things around us can also be found in our own bodies. Once you can understand that and feel the flow of the materials, then you're set. So it's a little of bit me and a little bit of the snow, too.

[ Ed grins, quite happy to talk about alchemy to someone who has clearly never seen it before. ] There are rules you have to follow, too, but it's pretty complicated.
