Just voice testing a bit.

[Naturally, when you hear that particular Luke whine currently coming out of one long-haired brat, you have to wonder where the cheese is.]

[Bad jokes aside, Luke is currently flailing and having an outright hissy fit of epic proportions. What do you do?]

Comments

[guykaiser]

[And he's right into best friend mode.] Luke? What's wrong?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

[Luke perks up slightly. Only slightly; it is just Guy, after all.]

Guuuuuuuuy. [Special whine, just for you.] I saw the worst thing ever!

[guykaiser]

[It really says something that he's doesn't even blink at the special whine and, instead, just gives Luke that kind smile of his.] Come on, it can't have been that bad; what was it?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

I... I saw me... but it wasn't me...

[WIBBLE]

[guykaiser]

[Oh.

Oh.] Luke...

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

W-what?

[guykaiser]

Where were you before now?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Uh... I dunno. It's been kinda hazy the past few... um...

[guykaiser]

[Considering Luke hasn't cut his hair and is clearly uncomfortable having seen someone who looks like him, Guy decides to take a stab in the dark.] On the way to Akzeriuth?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Uh, well yeah, but that was awhile ago.

[Pause, before FLAIL.]

STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT!

[guykaiser]

[He holds his hands up in surrender; if there was one thing he didn't miss about how Luke had been, it was the yelling and the tantrums.] Sorry, sorry, I wasn't trying to change the subject. I was just trying to figure something out.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

That's not the point! I saw something weird! Very weird!

[guykaiser]

Right, right. [At the very least, he's fairly certain the "something weird" Luke is talking about is Asch. But explaining that to him might be problematic, so...] You know, Luke, maybe you should try to forget about him.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

How can I forget about him!?

[Luke pulled at his hair, freaking out.]

He was... he was just... horrible.

[guykaiser]

[So much for that tactic. On to plan B.] Alright. Then how about you tell me what he did?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

He... he... he dyed his hair pink.

[Yeah... he's serious.]

[guykaiser]

...Wait, what? [...Don't mind Guy, Luke. He's just wondering what you'd look like with pink hair now.]

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

You heard me! His hair was pink! PINK!

[guykaiser]

[He tries to mask his cringe at Luke yelling.] Alright, I get it.

Maybe we can do something to take your mind off of it.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

[SULK.]

How...?

[guykaiser]

Well, you know. If you start doing something else that you really like, you won't think about it that much.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[poutpoutpout]

[guykaiser]

Whatever you want! Maybe something fun. You know, kind of like "have so much fun, you can't help but forget everything else".

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Like... at a circus or something?

[Grasping at straws, here. It's either that or sword practice, and he's not in the mood to see you pretend to get your ass whooped.]

[guykaiser]

A circus, huh? Well, sure; I'm pretty sure I saw something like that around here somewhere.

[Guy would argue that it's not his fault he had to pretend he was worse than Luke with a sword; not only does it draw all kinds of attention when a servant proves himself proficient with a weapon but it just looks really bad with a servant beats his master in a fight. ...Plus, he didn't want to deal with Luke to throwing a fit.]
