*Luke landed lightly and rolled to his feet, lightsaber ablaze. It was an unfamiliar rooftop, with architecture he'd never encountered before. He scanned the darkness, finding nothing and no one. Statues of people--perhaps primitive gods?--he didn't recognize dotted the landscape. It seemed that these people worshiped music.
Seeing no one, Luke lowered his saber and wondered, for the first time, how he'd gotten there. The last thing he remembered was being in a rebellion hospital. He looked down at his hand and flexed it. It looked, and felt, so real.
As did this place, only it made no sense. Why was he here?
And did it have anything to do with Va--his father?
He grimaced, the weight of the knowledge--he'd searched his feelings and knew it to be true--threatened to wash over him like a Tatooine sandstorm.*

*ascends the staircase to the rooftop slowly, casually; she isn't going up there for any reason but to waste time, so there's really no need to hurry*
I do so hope the sun hasn't gone down yet, I'd very much like to watch the people in the streets below...
*pushes open the door to see a male figure silhouetted against the setting sun and gasps in surprise*
Who's there?

*Luke's lightsaber blazes to life again, and by its blue glow he can see a tiny female form in the doorway. Chagrined, he turns it off, but his stance does not relax.*
My name's Luke, *he says.* Perhaps you could tell me where I am?

*shouts and jumps back, nearly toppling backwards down the stairs before catching the doorframe and shakily heaving herself upright again*
*watches the lightsaber warily as she speaks* You--you're at the Opera.

*Luke looks down at the dark lightsaber in his hand sheepishly.*
Sorry about that. I thought you were--nevermind. The Opera, you say?
*He frowns in concentration.*
I see. Some sort of musical ritual. But what planet, miss...?

Earth...
*He rolls the unfamiliar word in his mouth, then shrugs.*
Never heard of it. What system?

*blinks and cocks her head, peering at him*
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Where did you come from?

Tatooine. Desert planet. Moisture farms?
*At her blank look, he continues.*
Well, more recently Degobah, but you wouldn't have heard of that. Nevermind.
*He looks around suspiciously.*
Um... I hate to ask, because if you're an agent or something, this is really stupid, but... How much of a hold does the Empire have here?

*Cassiopeia traipsed up the steps. She had been pretty much invisible for a few months. That Phantom man had never contacted her again, and she had come up here to clear her mind for a moment, as well as to clean the statues. She noticed two people, and hoped they wouldn't mind her being here. She set about cleaning Apollo's Lyre, and hummed very quietly to herself.*
((The fingers! They typed! They made me do it!))

*Luke felt a disturbance in the force. He whipped around suddenly, only to find a girl cleaning a statue. He grinned sheepishly to himself; wasn't a disturbance, it was humming.*
Who's that?
((Aw, thanks! I am feeling jealous of the attention Han's getting. And Cassie, Erik was TOTALLY waiting for you in the room off of Christine's!))

((I think I was dissapeared into the world of Eponine at that moment. And Cassie's a little more than slightly clueless.))
*Cassiopeia turned to the man, eyes very wide because of his very bright sword-thing in his hands, but bobbed a quick curtsey.*
"Cassiopeia Rousseau" *She said, blushing a little.* "I was just cleaning the statues, I could leave you two alone if you want me to."

((I think he already turned off the saber, but whatever.))
What funny names they have here.
No, that's fine. I'm new to this planet, though, and I'm just looking for someone who can tell me what's going on here.

((Typical of me not to notice...))
*She looked at him oddly for a moment, then just assumed he had meant country.*
"I could show you around if you need me to--it was confusing here when I first came. I had to have a friend show me around."
