Luke awoke the next morning to the foreign sound of birds singing outside his window. He blinked his tired eyes before sitting up, as the events of the day before came back to him. He moved the curtains aside, pulling open the eleborately carved shutters to reveal the outside world. The sun peaked over the horizen bathing the school in the soft early morning light, a thin layer of fog covered the ground below. Luke probably could have spent all day just staring at the unfamiliar scenery, but a musical chime anounced that someone was at the door to his room.
Throwing on day clothes as he went, Luke ran to answer the door, only to find Kareem standing on the other side.
"Good morning Luke." Kareem said, smiling at the boy's sleep ruffled hair.
"Good morning sir."
"Shall we go get some breakfast before we work on getting you some new clothes and setting you up in your classes?" Kareem asked as he stepped back to allow the boy out into the hall. Luke yawned before answering.
"Sure, sounds good to me." He said, following the man to the main floor of the school.
After a quick breakfast of dried fruit, nuts, and blue milk, Kareem led the young boy into town, to a little store called Galalia's Clothing and Accessories. Galalia turned out to be a green Twi'lik female wearing a navy blue A-style sleeveless dress with an orange cross running from top to bottom and all around the waist with a pair of knee high orange boots made from some plastique material. An orange band of the same material wrapped around her head with orange stands comming off of it and wrapping around her head tails. A chunky blue and orange bamgle hung off her left wrist, a chrometer flashing from the bangle.
"Hi, what can I do for you today, Kareem?" She asked, pulling out an enormous book that looked as though it weighed more than Luke did and slamming it down on the chrome counter. Kareem smiled.
"We're here to get Luke some clothes, Galalia. Asuming you feel up to it." He smirked, and Galalia laughed.
"Let's get started, shall we?" She asked, wipping out a body-size scanner and inserting a new data card into it.
Thirty minutes later, Luke and Kareem left the store, Galalia hard at work on completing their order. She would put Luke's data card in her system when the transaction was complete. The clothes were all very simple. A few standered tunics, pants, a set of swim clothes, underware, socks, and two new pairs of shoes all in very basic colors. Kareem had told him that those were just the basics, the style and colors would change as his tastes did. Luke felt this was a good thing, because at the moment, he had no idea what he wanted. He was still reeling from the shock of arriving on planet.
After doing a little bit of shopping for things to put in Luke's room, they returned to Galalia's to pick up his clothes, before stopping at Al'handro's Kitchen for lunch. When they were full, they truged their way back to the school, where Kareem helped Luke to put his new belongings away. As the last article of clothing was placed in the wardrobe, and the final cup placed in the cabinets in the kitchenette (which was child-safe, but still very usable) Luke looked around. It had only been a day, but already, it was home
Hey! just a quick note. I'm looking for characters! You have the chance to design a character for the story. At this exact minute, I need stores and their owner's, students, teachers, master healers, and two more friends for Luke. One male and one female. Please be as detailed as possible. PM the character sketch!
Thanks!
