[Luke Skywalker's usual routine isn't really altered by the presence of newcomers. He's got a wedding to attend, but beyond that he'll be doing his usual parkour runs along the rooftops of Luceti, working on the farm and helping out around the Clinic. Good Spirits is another likely place to find him in the evenings, having a cup of hot chocolate.

[Rei's routine is somewhat broken up by the stream of newcomers and Law's wedding, but when she's not working at Tsukino Shrine she'll be around Luceti's village shopping, eating, and taking care of daily life. Sailor Mars does make an appearance at the Battle Dome as well.]

[Saori goes through life as normal, though these new people are certainly exciting! She'll drift around Luceti on a cloud, watching the people coming and going with obvious interest. This many strangers is definite a sight to see, and she's looking for people that she knows or who seem to be showing an interest in the odd lady flying on a cloud.]

[Anko is a little bit put off by all the newcomers. She'll be in the bakery, basically gorging herself on sweets, and if anyone tries to come near the dango they might find themselves dealing with an irate ninja, a poisonous snake, or both. Once it gets dark, she heads over to Good Spirits for a drink or two. Which might make her happy and social. Or it might make her even more irritable...]

[OOC: This is a catchall for Luke, Rei, Sailor Mars, Saori, and Anko. Just let me know which you want in the header, or if you don't care I'll decide randomly.]

[R2 is just scooting along outside, blooping and bleeping and cleaning up the snow on the walk of House 46, while Luke is working off to one side, fixing the damaged washer.

And they are both unaware of the approaching science.]

[There. There he is. The human is no threat, of course- he clearly isn't as full of science as his robotic counterpart. BUT THAT ROBOT. That robot was undoubtedly a powerful weapon of war. He would have to approach this with caution. Guile. Cunning. Strategy. He would have to formulate a plan so devious and foolproof that only a scientific genius such as his own could even comprehend it!

So naturally, he levels the laser and fires.]

"Die, robotic scum!"

[Well, caution and guile are great, but Artoo's scanners are pretty much always on, so Insano! is detected. The little droid zips out of the way, and dodges the laser. Whirling, he beeps angrily, while Luke looks up from his work.]

You again?!

"Yes, me! Behold, the face of your enlightened and benevolent conquerer! Insano!"

[He lets out a shrill cackle again. It seems to be something of a compulsive behavior.]

"Your war machine will not save you! Not from the power of SCIENCE!!1!"

[Luke can't help but chuckle and go over and rest a hand on Artoo's dome.]

This little guy? He's a navigation and maintenance droid. I don't know why you think he's a war machine.

"What? Look at his design! Compact for easier stealth, storage, and mobility, a 360-degree sensor array for tactical analysis, a tracked mobility system and built-in jump-jets? The wheels are no doubt magnetic as well, for operations in unprotected vacuums. I assure you, my friend, whatever that robot may have told you, it clearly hides the calculating circuits of a killing machine."

[Beat.]

"Also he had a zappy thing and it really hurt."

[Sulk.]

Those are to allow him to operate outside a starfighter, and perform his functions. The shock prod is to keep away mynocks.

And as I recall, you attacked him.

[... Oh. Well.

That was an embarrassing miscalculation of his adversary.]

"No matter! He has humiliated INSANO, and for that he must pay!"

[And with that, he starts cackling and levels the laser again.]

I would advise against that.

[Luke's hand strays towards a long metal tube at his waist.]

"And how do you plan to stop me? Hmm? You just admitted that your robot wasn't a weapon of war, and that weapon doesn't precisely look imposing. Unless you have a size-changing coin in your pocket, I'm unstoppable!"

[Beat.]

"... you don't have a size-changing coin in your pocket, do you?"

[The blade of his lightsaber ignites with the distinctive hiss]

I don't think I'll need it.

[You can't see it, but under the goggles, Insano's eyes are lighting up like a kid at christmas.]

"... A self-contained feedback loop of plasma! That's it! That's the secret to creating an energy blade! It's perfect!"

[For a moment, he seems to be winding up for another good old-fashioned cackle, but then he seems to remember something.]

"Oh, right. Still have to defeat you. Well, um..."

[He points the laser and fires.]

"FOR SCIENCE!"

[Well...Luke can't help but deflect the laser beam. And then does something most unscientific by Pushing the mad scientist away.]

Please, stop this.

[Insano falls on his ass fairly easily- you pretty much could have knocked him over with a feather after that.]

"Did you... did you just... deflect a laserbeam?"

[What?]

"With a laser-sword?"

[WHAT?]

"But... but it's a laser-beam! It moves at the speed of light! Because it's made of light!"

[He clambers to his feet, still sputtering indignantly.]

"Bullshit! I call bullshit! There's no way you can deflect a goddamn laserbeam! There is absolutely no way!"
