Liam in a galaxy far far away
Current mood:  creative

The day had started out just like any other. Liam woke up and showered, then went to breakfast and decided what he would do for the day. This morning, however, he thought he'd do something a little different, like checking to see if the defensive wards over the castle could be strengthened or not. He quickly finished breakfast and cleaned the kitchen, then went deep downstairs to the sub-levels beneath the dungeons where the castle's ward-stone resided.

Entering the massive chamber, Liam's nose wrinkles a little over the dust. He thinks nothing of it and pulls back his sleeves, allowing him full use of his arms. As he begins to incant a guiding spell to help contain and control the power of the ward-stone, his hands and arms start to sweep through the air, weaving an intricate pattern and slowly gathering the castle's magical energy together. Once the guide spell was in place, he begins to incant an invocation that would extend the wards over the entire grounds, and not just the castle itself.
Just as he's about to complete the spell, his nose twitches and he lets out an enormous sneeze. Startled, Liam quickly attempts to discharge his spell, but the energy had already swelled up beyond his control. As he vainly tries to hold back the buildup, the ward-stone begins to glow brighter and brighter, illuminating the vast chamber with a blinding light.
Suddenly, Liam feels the energy hit a peak, and is knocked unconscious by a tremendous blast.
When he comes to, Liam's first thought is that the power must still be building, and brings a hand up to shade his eyes. When he opens them and looks around, however, he discovers how wrong he is. Blinking against a bright sunlight, he looks around the barren stretch on desert he'd suddenly found himself in. At first, Liam thinks he must have accidentally transported himself to Egypt or somewhere similar, but when the temperature and light suddenly start to increase, he turns and stares in shock as a second sun breaks over the crest of the far distant horizon. Fighting down a panic attack, Liam quickly realizes that he'd been sent to a completely different planet than Earth.
With a million different questions running through his head, Liam starts climbing a nearby dune, to see what he could see. Shading his brow with both hands, he does a slow turn as he scans the horizon. Just as he's about to think he's on a lifeless world, he spots a reflection in the distance. Deciding that it's better than just sitting there, he begins a long march toward the reflection, hoping to find some sign of civilization.
After several long and hot hours of walking under the baking twin suns, Liam peers ahead to see that the reflection in being cast from the side of a huge vehicle, lumbering over the dunes by way of tracks much like those of a tank. Curious and growing parched with thirst, he hurries his steps, angling to intercept the course of the vehicle.
As he gets closer, the tank-thing grinds to a halt, and Liam spots a group of small robed beings emerging from a hatch in it's side. One of them spots him approaching, and points him out to it's companions, chittering away in something that sounded like some kind of a cross between chipmunk chatter and Swahili or something. As the group approaches him, Liam casts a translation spell over himself, hoping that it works on different planets. The spell starts to work when the small creatures surround him, and one of them reaches out timidly to touch his trenchcoat. "They're traders!", he realizes as their chatter begins to make sense to him. Relying on a few key-words of their language and a great deal of hand gesturing, Liam gets one of the creatures ( who he learns are called Jawas ) to understand him. The one who pointed him out ( likely the leader ) pulls out a worn leather-like bag from inside their vehicle ( a sandcrawler ) and hands it to Liam, who pantomimes his gratitude before taking a long drink.
Passing the bag back to the leader, Liam sees a few of the Jawas assembling a strange tower like machines short way from the crawler. Another round of charades and he learns that it is a moisture vaporator, for collecting water from the dry atmosphere. Fascinated, he plunks down on the sand to watch them operate it. After a short time, however, it becomes apparent that something is wrong. He turns to the leader to inquire about the problem, and is informed that the air in this area of the desert doesn't have enough moisture in it for the vaporator to work. Smiling, Liam stands up and tells the Jawas that he'll try to help. Removing his trenchcoat and setting it folded on the ground where he'd been sitting, he attempts a summoning spell to call forth some rain. Unfortunately, with so little moisture in the air and environment, the most he can conjure are a few small and thin clouds. That, however, apparently turns out to be more than the Jawas needed, and their vaporator quickly begins to collect a great deal of water.
The Jawas begin to jump around in excitement, and sayings "Jedi" to him a lot. Unsure what they mean, Liam assumes that Jedi must mean "Rain bringer" or something similar, and smiles graciously to them. Their leader then gratefully offers him a ride to the nearest settlement. Liam accepts their offer, and helps the Jawas bring their vaporator back. To the crawler, once it has collected a full load of water. They then all pile inside for a ride to a place that sounded like Mos Paisley, or something. Liam finds himself a space to sit amidst a strange looking collection of robots and machinery, all in different states of poor repair, and waits out the ride.
When they arrive at the settlement, Liam disembarks and hands the Jawas some Earth coinage from his pocket, as payment for the drink and the ride, then waves farewell to his new friends, and head into the settlement, hoping to find someone or something that can help him get back home.
