star_kingdom | [Action/Video] A new enemy.

[If Starkiller learned anything here, one could not live on protein cubes or the Force alone. He wanted to think he was above begging his roommates to cook something for him. Even when his stomach was protesting loud enough to sound like an angry rancor.

He could do this, the microwave was simple enough to use. He'd watched everyone else use it many times before, so why couldn't he? He pushed a few buttons and stared at it like the others- willing his food to cook through the Force. So why wasn't it working? Punching more buttons, he waited. He could fly fighters and just about anything (with the exception of those blasted gummi ships) but he couldn't get this to work?

Technology hardly confused him but he couldn't seem to remember the real Starkiller ever using one of these.

What could possibly go wrong with a little lightning to boost the power? Other than nearly setting the entire kitchen on fire. When the fire was out, via the hose from the sink, he thought about leaving and pretending his adventure in the kitchen never happened. He could blame it on that animal the old man had running around the house.

By the stars he was hungry. He could call Obi-Wan or one of the others but how long would that take?]

Jedi. [He was usually talking to Obi-Wan when he asked for one of them.] We need a new food dispenser, this one is defective.

[Yes, he's being serious. Then again, he didn't realize this video was being broadcast to everyone.]

[Ami, tactfully, doesn't laugh; instead, she makes a very simple offer of help.]

I can help you with that one, if you'd like. I used to use them back home.

I'm done with it. More trouble than it's worth.

They're very convenient, once you learn them.

Or a pain. Isn't it easier to go out and pick something up?

Easier, but it isn't as economical.

Oh dear. Defective, you said? It was working fine yesterday... What exactly happened, Leroy?

Who cares. It's a heap of scrap metal not fit to quick fix a ship now.

Leroy! There are better ways to deal with problems than abusing the Force! I would be very interested in knowing what happened.

Such as?

Such as calmly deducing what is causing the problem and coming up with non-violent ways to solve it, like repair or... I don't know, asking someone for help! You blew up the microwave, didn't you?

I didn't blow up that thing. It started sparking. On it's own.

That's all you had to say, you know. Tomorrow, we'll go get a new one and I'll show you how to use it. In the mean time, would you like me to make you something?

Don't bother with a new one.

Why not? I'm sure the others in the house might like to use it. Are you intending to assault the microwave every time we get a new one?

At least get one that works properly.

That sounds fair. I'll do my best not to bring home any more defective microwaves, then. As long as you can refrain from blasting it into oblivion if it gives you trouble.

What kind of technology is that?

[Some one who also does not know what a microwave is. ]

Does it really dispense food?

A useless piece of scrap.

According to another it's meant to cook food that you put inside.

I see, something to warm it up? It looks like a very classic piece of technology.

I don't recommend trying it.

I might have to if that is how people cook food here. Unless there is another way?

[....if it wasn't for the fact he knew some people didn't even know what a communicator was, let alone a microwave, this would have been prime evidence of stupidity to him. Nevertheless, he doesn't look all that impressed at the man when he decides to set him straight on one thing.]

That thing does not dispense food. It cooks the food that you're supposed to put inside it. Obviously, if you don't put food inside it, you're not going to get any food out of it.

Good to know.

Oh my!

Do you need help?

I got it under control.

[Fried microwave and a flooded kitchen floor. That's a pretty impressive defect.]

What happened...?

It's defective.

Apparently, so.

It's possible it could still be repaired. [Even with it sparking. There are two Skywalkers around, after all.]

[Oh sob, Leroy! Someone smelled a fire and came running.]

Wh-What happened here?
