Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father...

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Who: Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader (oh shit son)
What: Luke comes to vent to daddy about mean old Ben and gets a big surprise instead. No, not that kind of surprise you sickos. The other big surprise.
Where: 3474 Erwin Road
When: Backdated to the day after prom.
Warnings: EVERY WARNING EVER. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE, LOCK YOUR DOORS. (Really it'll just be lots of angst, emotions, whining, and the infamous "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSDKFJSDHFKDJSHF")

[Luke gives himself the night to think things over and cool down. By morning, however, he's still bothered by the conversation he had with Obi-Wan. He knows there have to be differing opinions considering the various relationship statuses of every other Jedi in town so he decides to vent to seek advice from his father... probably the worst person to go to but he doesn't know that. Yet.

Their interactions thus far have been minimal but Luke figures this will also be an opportunity to bond and get to know each other. He thinks it'll be a good thing. Bless his poor, little idealistic heart.

He rings the doorbell, rehearsing his rants questions in his head.]

Comments

It's safe to say I know something about it, yes. [ ...all right, his curiosity is absolutely burning. He recites it with practiced ease: ]

There is no emotion, there is only peace. [ Peace is a lie, there is only passion. ]

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. [ Through passion, I gain strength. ]

There is no passion, there is serenity. [ Through strength, I gain power. ]

There is no chaos, there is harmony. [ Through power, I gain victory. ]

There is no death, there is the Force. [ Through victory, my chains are broken. ]

[ The Force shall free me. And how hollow the Code of the Sith sounds now, when he can only ever recall the armored, claustrophobic prison he wore back home. Vader's next comment is meant to sound breezy, but it's a little stiff, ]

Did you have questions about it?

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Luke finds it almost eerie that his father can recite the code on cue. Why was something so important to the Jedi of old never even mentioned to him?

He shakes his head slowly, then shrugs.]

Possibly. I'd never even heard of it before Ben mentioned it last night.

[Quickly, he catches himself.] Uh, Obi-Wan, I mean. In the time I knew him he went as 'Ben'.

[chosen_to_fall]

Is that so? [ That is certainly a surprise. Obi-Wan and Vader haven't exactly had a heart to heart in Mayfield- he knows only that his children were hidden away from him. He had assumed his old mentor would make the effort to train them from the start, what with Kenobi's regard for the Order. Preservation of the traditions and teachings would surely be a priority.

He thinks abruptly of Murkhana, of the Jedi that escaped. What future lies ahead for all of them?

Leaning forward, he rests his elbows on his knees. ]

How long have you known him? I'm afraid I haven't quite got the whole story...

[Getting to tell his father about his life and the people he's known is something Luke had always dreamed about, but for obvious reasons he assumed he'd never get the chance. Amazing how things turn out. He appears very eager to tell his father everything he can.]

For as far back as I can remember. Ben lived not too far from our moisture farm. Occasionally he came to visit but Uncle Owen never liked him much. Said he was crazy and up to no good.

[He smiles wistfully.] Makes me wonder if it was Ben or me becoming a Jedi and running off on some wild adventure that Uncle Owen was more afraid of.
