[It's late, Han just got back from ferrying people from one place to another, and he is bored. He also has access to the comm and a best friend to pester.
So it's really not a surprise that this shows up:]
so what if I challenge your old man to a race
sure he's the only human podracer I've ever heard of, but I've been here longer and I know the vehicles better
could take him
[hey luke u up]

[hey luke u up]
you see those ads on the network lately
[As is typical for Han, he sends this at two in the morning. Because sleep is for the weak.]

[ ...does he do this to Chewie? He's almost tempted to ask. ]
yes
you realize its 2 am right

[Right after this mess, at an uncharacteristic ten PM:]
Luke, I've got a son. [Han's tone is freaked out, to say the least. Giddy, certainly, about having a son, but horrified and heartbroken as well. And maybe a little bit panicked, because Han does not actually know how to be a father.] I have a kid and he's older than I am and he hates me, what do I do?

[ He wanted to make a sarcastic quip about asking his own father, but he doubted Skywalker brand sarcasm would be appreciated at the moment. Luke let out a breath instead, shaking his head even though Han couldn't see. ]
I know. I saw; I've been trying to talk to him as well, but...
[ He ran away. That smug Imperial jerkface said that to him as well, so he was sure he retreated at some point, but it didn't sound like him to just give up. There had to be more to this story than their point of view. ]
...I honestly don't know what to do. I'm still trying to figure out how you have a Force sensitive son.
[ Because what are you not telling him, Han. ]

[Guess who's back at an ungodly hour of the morning? And also, sitting somewhere in Heropa like a very shivery, kinda blind guy.]
Hey, Luke. Did I miss anything while I was out? [This would sound casual if Han's teeth weren't also chattering.]

[ Oh my god, Han; this was the first night since Bespin he was able to go to sleep without staring up at the ceiling for hours! ]
Haaaaaan. Why do you do this...!
[ ...it takes him a moment to register the teeth chattering. ]
...why do you sound like you're on Hoth without protective gear?

Hey, Luke, guess who arrived
I will give you a hint she is the best and related to you
We're at Zozzled, come join us

[ Say what now??? ]
Leia is here?!
When???
And where's Zozzled???
[ He's a little happy about this news. ]

We're going to have to tell Leia.
[No preamble, no stupid questions about grass or horsepower or what if I hooked up rockets to my taxi. Just worry, and dread.]
Aren't we?

[ Luke just let out a groan, not even lifting his head from the pillow. ]
It's two in the morning, Haaaaaaaaan...
[ His hand flopped uselessly toward her communicator. ]
Tell her what?

[ It was more of a mental whisper, the whisper of his name. She wasn't saying it out loud, Leia was thinking it. Over and over and over. The subconscious call of Luke Luke Luke— The unchecked emotions that came with the calling were more of something else entirely. Anger, frustration— she was in disbelief all over again and so very helpless to all of it.
At this point, she wanted nothing more than to go back home. To erase the talk she'd just had with Anakin; this was someone she had zero interest in knowing, only the urge to hurt him the way he'd hurt her. ]

[ Luke let out a faint noise, distracted from his work by the faint whisper in his head. He made up a lame excuse to end the session early, but he was so obviously completely distracted that he barely remembered the escort the family he was currently working with out before he closed and locked the door to his office. ]
[ Of course he knew it was Leia. Of course he figured she had some Force sensitivity -- she had heard him at Cloud City, after all -- but it seemed... out of control, here? Perhaps the porter did something when she was brought here, heightened her powers; or maybe she was just that distressed. ]
[ He sat down at his desk, letting out a deep breath and trying to focus on his own calm, trying to follow the call of her voice and push it out her way. It probably wasn't very successful; if she was right next to him, maybe, but farther away was much harder when coupled with his lack of experience. ]

Luke - look, I get that you want to give your dad a second chance but I have a really, really bad feeling about this.
I've been trying to reconcile the man who's here with his future for a while and this? This made me see the connection as brightly as a blaster bolt.
This is not good.

[ Luke just let's out the longest, most suffering sigh. So much for a peaceful night. ]
I know, Poe. But they both need this. The only way they're going to establish where they both stand is if they talk to each other.

[ ...is he hearing a pout in her voices? He's not sure; there were times where she was good at hiding what she was feeling. ]
Father does? I'm not so sure about that. The basics are probably fine, but...
[ He trailed off, frowning slightly. He was less worried about Dark Side rhetoric slipping in, and more worried about trying to figure out what being a Jedi really meant. ]

Are you available any of the next few evenings? I would like to have you and your sister over for dinner together.
It would be good to see both of you at the same time.

I always wanted to say that.

[ Oh... right, this is his shy roommate, right? ]
Sorry, I'm up in space right now!
But thank you for the offer.

[Hi, Luke. Anakin looks guiltier than usual. This probably has to do with him not spending a certain holiday with his son and daughter.]
Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? Did you celebrate it? You and I could go out for a bite even if you did.

[ Anakin gets treated to an equally guilty look from Luke. Also, there are totally things floating in the background behind him. ]
I'm sorry, father. I thought I told everyone; I'm in space right now. I'm part of the space station show they're doing.

[He hasn’t really spoken to Luke in awhile, but here he is. One young, old mentor leaving a message on Luke’s device.]
Hello, Luke. I hope all is well with you.
[Its certainly been trying as of late for many.]
When you have a moment I would like to talk. I have something to ask you about.

Sorry, I was at work.
What’s up?

[In the middle of this conversation:]
how do you and the old fossil feel about talking about the Jedi with ANOTHER old fossil
drinks are on me don't worry about it

Han there's too many fossils in that statement to know who you're talking about.

Hey Lando.
[ There’s a long pause as Luke starts to type in several things. That he’s angry about what happened. That the depth of that anger scared him. That he could understand now why attachments were so bad for Jedi because even knowing Obi-Wan would be back isn’t enough to keep him from wanting to hunt down the people that did that to him. That he’s more like his father than he gives himself credit for and he’s not sure if that’s a bad thing. ]
[ But he deletes all of that and settles for: ]
It’s been a difficult couple of days. Hopefully he’ll be back soon.

I saw.
I keep having to fight against going over there and hugging and punching him.

Bane confessed to the killing. Grandfather and I have handed him over to the authorities.
[ Consider him surprised; he thought for sure they would have killed him. ]
Thank you, Kylo. I appreciate you helping him do this.

He's gone.
[ She hasn't moved yet from the chair she'd dropped herself down into, still trying to make sense of the hollow sensation in her chest. If Luke had left her, would it feel this way? ]

I know.
[ That probably didn't help to hear, but there was no point in pretending to be surprised. He had sensed it the moment it happened, and he didn't doubt Leia did too. ]

I find that I need your advice, Luke.

Let me figure it out; the calendar here is different from ours.
[ A bit of calculating and... ]
Oh...
Looks like it was on December 25th.

Hey, Master Skywalker. This is Kanan Jarrus. I've heard you around on the network a bit, but we've never really spoken. I know it's a little out of the wild for me to just be contacting you like this, but I do have a reason for it, promise.
First of all, your roommate, Joshua, seems pretty eager that we should talk. He's a nice guy, seems to think you might want more people to talk about - well, the Force with. Jedi stuff. I hear you've been training with Master Kenobi.

...uh...
[ For a moment, Luke is entirely baffled, and doesn't really know how to respond. Master Skywalker? He actually felt his face heating up a little. ]
Did you mean to contact my father?
[ He did mention Josh, but... Master Skywalker? Really? ]

Luke. I wanted to check in with you and see how you were holding up -- with Leia and Han both gone for the moment, I mean.
Is there anything you need, or I can do?

I'm fine, I just...
[ He trailed off a moment. ]
...Ben is gone too. And it's... hard, every time someone leaves. It's like a giant hole opens up to take them, and then even the hole disappears. We're just... left behind. With nothing.

good news: I'm not blind.
bad news: I'm outside of Cape Canaveral because they don't trust my power not to turn their van into, and I quote, "a barely-operational shitheap with a terrifying arsenal".
sorry I was out a couple of days. the Porter thought it would be real funny.
