[And over in this corner of the dressing room, there is a Luke. A Luke, dressed in a long-sleeved tunic and pants that match, his coat off his shoulders and bundled on top of his head-- he seems to be kind of ...hiding under it. He's talking-- upon closer investigation, one would realize he's doing one of two things. Either talking to the mellow white cat sitting in his lap, or talking to the tiny pink fontech in his hand. He's also not wearing any shoes, for one reason or another.]

[By all means, come bother the weirdo.]

[[...by tiny pink fontech, I mean he's borrowed not_yuuna's mp3 player again. I need to post her again someday. XD]]

[ Keep this up, Berry, and you'll have the entire dressing room tossing gald at you out of pity. All he he needs is a Hoover blanket and a can, and he'll be set. Weirdo 1 is joined by Weirdo 2, who quietly takes up residence behind number one without disturbing him any further. She'll prod him shortly. ...after snooping in on his conversation/singing. ]

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[He's not asking for pity, he's just hiding under his coat in a (rather feeble) attempt at being left alone. Clearly this failed. By the time she comes over to snoop he's fallen mostly silent, though. He clicks the circular wheel on the fontech to turn the device off and sits up a little, bumping into her prodding and jolting with a cry-- Yuki scrambles out of his lap and he hurls himself forward, throwing his coat off his head and (surprisingly) staying upright with a wild look in his eyes for ...all of half a second.]

...Yulia's Freaking Chastity Belt, Luke. Don't do that to me!

[fononfailure]

[ Well then he should quit looking like a nicely dressed hobo!replica if he doesn't wish to be mistaken for one. The lack of footwear doesn't do much to help change the neglected feel he has going on. Being back to back, he won't see her making herself comfortable as a pout crosses her face at missing out on the not-conversation. Fine. Time to see what's up with our platonic snugglebunny today. Except that she foolishly hadn't been expecting him to move, and so shouts in tandem, making a for a nice feminine echo. ]

Gah! Don't do wha-- --aaat the heck is a chastity belt?

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[He just left the Manor without putting on shoes, honestly. Sighs after a while, hands palm-down on the ground and dropping his head for a moment. Be still, our erratic-beating replica heart. Looks up with a vague smile after a minute.]

...long story that you probably don't really need to hear. Didn't mean to startle you. [Reaches out to smooth Yuki's fur, and the cat trills in mild irritation.]

[fononfailure]

[ That's why socks end up wandering off; abuse. Gives him a quizzical and very much concerned look until satisfied that he won't be pitching over anytime soon thanks to her. Darn replica is probably as skittish as his cat... ]

It's always those I don't need to hear that are the best ones. [ Unsure if he's talking to the ball of fluff, she holds a finger out to him. Her. It. Sorry, fuzzy shrimp. ] What're you doing sitting over here?

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[Ffff. Shifts, folding his coat haphazardly in his lap and scritching behind Yuki's ears with two fingers.]

Well you know what the word chaste means, right? It's the same thing. They're crazy contraptions meant to prevent sex. ...Jade made a joke about Yulia having worn one the other day, it's kind of a long story. [Yuki sniffs her finger and then trills appreciatively, raising her floofy tail like a flag to signal that Luke may pet her.] ...didn't realize I was here, for starters.

[fononfailure]

Didn't know they had such things. It'd make more sense for there to be a fonic arte that blows you up if you try going at it too early. ...besides, she couldn't have worn one. Tear and Van are her descendants.

[ Love on the kitty time~ Very gently brushes a hand over the white fur atop her head with a snort at Berry's tale. Leave it to him to talk with Jade of all people about Yulia's sex life. ] That would explain why you're not dressed for the weather.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

If it blows you up that'd kind of be counterproductive... [Shrugs lightly.] They've been told that, they're not certain. And it had to do with the rest of the conversation and wasn't entirely serious anyway.

[Runs a hand down Yuki's back, and she promptly flops onto her side and purrs. Oh, attention.] I'm dressed fine, I just forgot my shoes. [Wiggles a sock foot.]

[fononfailure]

Not if it just leaves you singed and dazed! [ ffff. Why so cute, tiny ball of fluff. Almost as much as your owner. ] I'd be surprised if Jade was serious. Doubt he knows anything about being intimate anyways.

[ Pausing mid-stroke to grab one of his toes. ] Your feet are going to get cold, you know.

[gurenhai.livejournal.com]

...I didn't know anyone else had things like that. (gestures towards the mp3 player)

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.] Oh, this? It was a gift.

[gurenhai.livejournal.com]

That explains it, then.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

She had two of them and had loaned this one to me a few times, and eventually just said I could keep it. She called it a...n "em-pee-three". Not really sure what it means, but it plays music.

[gurenhai.livejournal.com]

...You don't even know what it means? Maybe you should have asked that person.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

It plays music, and that's about all that mattered to me. She gave me a little ...thing to charge it with, I don't use it much though.

[gurenhai.livejournal.com]

...Is she still around? There aren't many people around who're familiar with Earth stuff.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

Here and there, yeah. 's Tear, but she's usually dressed kind of strange-- I guess in "Earth" clothes. She's almost always got a little pink folding fontech she calls a "laptop" with her, too. [And mun promises to post her sometime between now and December so that they can meet. XD]

[mistressvan.livejournal.com]

[Now have an unexpected Van looking over you shoulder.]

That's a fascinating piece of fontech.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[Unexpected Van-ette, you mean. Berry about jumped out of his skin, both from the Sudden Van, and the fact that Van is Suddenly Female. Scrambles a bit, fluffy white feline hopping out of his lap and waiting for him to stop flailing. He ambles to his (sock) feet and boggles for a while, and the cat eventually hops onto his shoulder.]

Ah-- yeah, it's... Your sister gave it to me. She called it an "em-pee-three" player. It plays music through these little... headphones. [Holds an earbud out, warily. Van, you have boobs. What is this.]

[mistressvan.livejournal.com]

["Van-ette" smiles softly.]

I don't believe I've seen an "em-pee-three" player before. [Van takes the earbud and brings it close to her ear, raising a brow.] I wouldn't call this music, however.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[I suppose Vanessa works better. Vanette sounds like an effeminate take on the Panel Van. Blinks at her... friendly demeanor, and chuckles.]

It's... modern Earth-stuff. You're a Hymnist like Tear, right? So I guess it wouldn't sound anything the same.

[mistressvan.livejournal.com]

["Vanessa" is always friendly, what are you talking about? |3]

Modern Earth, I don't have much...familiarity with it. [Van hands the earbud back to him, looking over his odd dress.] Is that where you're from?

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[Not last we checked. Still wary, but we're not minding the civil conversation. He shakes his head.]

Nope. Still an Auldrant brat, still the replica a male version of yourself created for the sole purpose of being destroyed. Dated a girl from Earth, and there's a fair amount of people from there floating around this place.

[mistressvan.livejournal.com]

[Oh fine, be that way. Van will raise a brow at that.]

...I suppose it's a comfort to know that some things are consistent, even if physical appearances aren't.

[replicaberry.livejournal.com]

[Never can be too careful, much as we wish we could be your friend or your student again. He gives her a once-over, pointedly not focusing on the ...changed assets.]

...So you're the same after all.
