OPEN: Luke at the turtle's head
Characters: Luke Skywalker and OPEN
Date: Mid-August during the heat wave
Location: The turtle's head
Situation: Luke's been meaning to visit the turtle's head for a while but after hearing the news from Wan about the path of light he's decided it's imperative that he see it for himself.
Warnings/Rating: None, but please do consider filling out the form on Luke's permissions post here if you haven't already. He's capable of a lot of mind-read-y type stuff.
The turtle's head has piqued Luke's interest since he first heard about it. The idea of an altered state of mind has made him wary but he's willing to try it before passing judgment. Perhaps he can negate some of the effects, if even a little bit.
Then he heard tell of the path of light that appears only to some. That is definitely worth checking out.
The heat wave has caused him to leave his cloak behind and even shop for clothing of a lighter design, both in color and in weight, somewhat resembling what he used to wear in the desert. Luke's lived in the scorching heat most of his life and knows how to deal with it well. Once properly dressed it bothers him very little and hasn't affected the time he spends outdoors much. He even bought himself a dorky hat. Luke's far less concerned about fashion than he is about keeping cool and he knows that protecting one's head from the direct rays of the sun is a key part to avoiding the worst effects of the heat.
Once at the turtle's head he finds a comfortable spot to sit cross-legged and begins to meditate, eager to see this path of light that Wan spoke of. He's maybe a bit too eager and it takes a few minutes before his Jedi trance sets in. That patience thing is a work in progress.
Around a half hour in and Luke awakens with somewhat of a start.
((Feel free to hop in at any point; reaching the turtle's head, during meditation, or after meditation.))

"Uh... no, actually I knew you were there I just--... I've been in meditation." Luke closes his eyes and lowers his chin to his chest for another moment, taking a deep breath in and out before looking up at Carlos again. This time he seems a bit more awake.
"I think I just saw it. The path of light."
no subject
There's nothing. Just the turtle, and the ocean. He turns back to Luke.
"Ah, is that a technical term? A kind of meditation? I've not heard it before, but then the furthest I've ever gotten with meditation is falling asleep, so my knowledge in this area is rather limited..."

Of course the water out in front of them has no such path on it at the moment but Luke seems to be watching it as if he's waiting for something else to happen. "Wan said that it took meditation to see it but he didn't give any other kind of specifications. I didn't think it would actually work the first time."
