IT FEELS WEIRD BUT IT'S NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU GUYS WITH YOUR SPINES ON THE INSIDE WOULD CALL PAIN! WHAT I AM IS WORRIED THAT THIS IS GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING!

['Weird' isn't exactly helpful, but the lack of pain is interesting.]

Okay. We'll figure this out, I promise.

[Luke sits back on his heels, thinking.]

I'm able to detect currents of energy between living things. Do you mind?

SURE, GIVE IT A GO! I DON'T KNOW IF I'M A LIVING THING!

[So this is a fun way to find out!

(He is.)]

[Luke doesn't really have any doubts that Bill is living, and never has, and if he'd been aware it was a question, he'd have mentioned the fact that Bill feels alive and not like some sort of void. But he doesn't bother with that right now, instead closing his eyes, resting his palms on his knees, and letting himself sense.

There's a LOT of energy in and around Bill, always is, but something is different. It's not a hole, per se, but more of a... Luke frowns. A conduit? a wormhole? He reaches out, eyes still closed, and places his hand over the rectangular space. And there's a tug there, like if he pulled on the string, it would lead him somewhere.

This sort of large-scale work isn't what he normally practices, so it takes some concentration and focus, though it's probably not as long as it feels to Bill before he sits back, opening his eyes.]

Well. That's... weird.

[Bill watches his whole process, cheery and unreadable.]

I GET THAT A LOT!

[Luke makes a face, but just briefly. His fault, for hesitating there.]

It's like... your energy is connected somehow with this port. Wherever we are, it's having some sort of effect on you, or vice versa.

HAH? THIS PORT? THE ONE WE'RE DOCKED IN?

[Not the ship? Someone killing him, slowly, for revenge, or whatever?]

[Luke chews on his lower lip, folding his arms as he concentrates.]

I think so. It's like... I don't know. I don't really have the words to describe it, it's not the kind of thing I've studied a lot. [Look, he's mostly used this power of his to wave swords and people and jump really far, okay?] But it feels like something is connecting you to something off the Barge.

Have you left the ship?

NO!

[Bill looks down at the hole. Howwwwwwwwww?]

I CAN'T WITHOUT A WARDEN. WANNA LET ME OFF? I HAVE TO GO SOLVE THIS BEFORE I GET MORE HOLES!

[Luke sighs.]

Of course I'm going to let you leave the ship.

[He stands up, grabbing his pants and then the belt to which he attaches his lightsaber.]

But not without me.

HEY, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT! YOU'LL BE USEFUL NO MATTER WHAT'S OUT THERE!

[Luke eyes him. He thinks that might be a compliment?]

Thanks. I think.

YOU HAVE A SWORD! COME ON!

[Bill goes to grab Luke's wrist and try to tug him out the door. Preparation for the wilderness? What's that?]

Hang on.

[Luke extracts his wrist and makes sure he's wearing shoes and a jacket and now he's ready.

No, exactly. What is that?]

[Bill waits and taps his little foot rapid-fire, then goes to resume dragging when Luke is ready.

Up to the deck!]
