[Have a Luke stumbling into town, though he doesn't look very well. He's hunched over, hands over his arms and trying desperately to hide just what's wrong with him. And what is wrong with him? Well... if you look close, you can see stitches running up his stomach, as well as stitches around his shoulders, elbows, each finger...]

[Such is what happens when someone dissects you, then puts you back together again.]

Th-this place...? But... why now...?

[bitterly] He claimed himself a scientist.

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

...You were being tracked by a scientist?

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

...he didn't just track me, Asch. He cut me to pieces.

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

What did you do? Just walked right on up to him, thinking he was trustworthy?

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

Of course not! [well, not the last time!]

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

Heh, so you say. [he removes his hands, taking a step away from him] He got to you again, you say?

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[Luke nodded sadly, wrapping his arms close to himself. It was hard to hide all the stitches though.]

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

And this all happen after I left?

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[...left... so the Asch back at Micro-Metropolis... was a different Asch? But how did that make any sense...?]

Y...yeah...

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

Heh, and here I thought you got out too.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't... [a pause.] ...I wish I did.

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

...Look, I woke up finding myself here. If I knew how I got out of there I'd tell you.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[smiles faintly.]

...it's okay, Asch. I'm... just glad you're all right.

[And didn't go through the same thing.]

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

Wish I could say the same about you.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[...that got Luke to turn a faint shade of pink.]

I-I'll be okay... eventually.

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

Yea, until something else happens with your luck.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[Lets out a small noise.]

W-well, as long as I stay away from the hospital, I'll be fine...

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, the hospital. I bet you get into trouble even when you're in your own room.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

...well, considering where I'm living at the moment...

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

Feh, sure you're not bothered by the living arrangements at all [turns away from him]

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. I love waking up in the morning to a human-like creature that thinks he's a cat on my chest, threatening to claw at me if I don't get off the couch. It's just so much fun.

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

[...that doesn't sound at all like a melodist] ...right.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

[That would be because its not.]

[sighs softly]

...I'm sleeping on a friend's couch for the moment.

[lost-scion.livejournal.com]

...who wants to claw your face off? Nice friend.

[sacred-flamer.livejournal.com]

That's just his arrancat. He doesn't actually want to claw my face off.
