Room 317 [entirely too early in the morning]

[tatooine_doofus]

After spending all night up in the fourth floor common room watching a Space Battles marathon (and totally not trying to avoid thinking about the person who'd come into town. Or how the other member of his family would be dealing with that. Really.), Luke cracked open his door and snuck in, careful not to wake Z.

And stared at the old guy sitting on his bed.

"Um...can I help you?"

Yoda rolled his eyes. "You two have never been that quick on the uptake," he said in rolling tones. "I am Yoda."

"Yoda's green and on Dagobah!" Luke squeaked.

Yoda sighed. "No. I'm a turtle." He paused and looked down at himself. "Most days."

Luke's eyes got wider and wider. "I don't have time for this," he whined.

Yoda stared back. "That is not my problem."

Yoda cracked open an eye. "You two are completely useless," he commented. "I want something to eat."

He pointed a finger at Luke. "Get me some worms. Or lettuce. Or both."

[multiplez]

"Yeah, Luke," Z said. "Get your turtle man some lettuce and worms. For breakfast." She sounded like she might gag.

Luke made an "oh, eww" face himself. "My life was already about as weird as I could handle," he whined, then remembered something.

"Hey! You have hands now. Get your own food!"

Yoda rolled his eyes and wandered over to the Syntheron, then pushed random buttons.

Just because he looked human didn't mean he could actually read.

The Syntheron popped out roughly ten pounds of grapes.

Except they were orange.

Yoda didn't care. He began popping them--slowly--into his mouth.

Z would have tried to go back to sleep, except it seemed she was up to stay. For now, at least. "Hey, Luke?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke sighed. "Yeah?"

[multiplez]

"You didn't--" Z picked at her blanket. "You didn't notice me replicating in class yesterday, by any chance?" She was really hoping that had flown under the radar.

Luke shook his head, looking worried. "You okay?"

[multiplez]

"Yeah, I'm fine," Z said in a tone that tried and failed for casually breezy. "I just...didn't mean to do that."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke wasn't buying it. "He was a complete asshole yesterday," he said quietly. "Don't let it get to you."

[multiplez]

Z stifled a grin. "You shouldn't talk that way about our teacher," she informed Luke.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I can when he's my father," Luke decided.

"Anakin?" Yoda said between mouthfuls of grapes. "Total pain, yeah."

[multiplez]

"Fair enough. What do we do with turtle-man?" Z asked with a jerk of her head toward Yoda.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Put him outside and let him fend for himself today?" Luke asked hopefully.

[multiplez]

"But he's a pet turtle!" Z protested. On the other hand, she really did not want to change with him in the room. "Maybe we could make Artoo look after him?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Artoo blatted a definite negative.

"He's not coming out of the closet until Leia leaves," Luke translated.

[multiplez]

"Artoo?" Z called to the closet. "What did you do to Luke's sister? Do you owe her a yeast puppet show, too?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Artoo babbled out a hysterical story about Nubian starfighters and forty years of Skywalker idiocy and how he'd learned by now to stay the hell out of their way.

Luke caught none of it.

"I have...no idea what he's talking about," he admitted.
