[ You might think that today is your very average ordinary day, but you would be wrong. It's a day in which Luke will have no qualms about running your ass over as she hustles about to and fro without regard for anything (or anyone) in her path, a look of mild panic upon her face.

You're welcome to interrupt her, of course, but you had also better watch out if you're on the slow side! You're liable to cause a collision. Because you know it totally wouldn't be her fault. Mmhmm. ]

[maybe he was half-heartedly flipping through his book and not quite watching where he was going, but the collision is also 100% not his fault, okay]

--hey!! Watch it!

[fononfailure]

[ Of course it wasn't. Therefore the obvious solution is blame someone that isn't there right now, like Jade or Mieu or Asch. ]

You watch it! I'm kinda busy here, you know!

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[an excellent proposition]

Me? I'm not the one knocking people on their - oh, it's you. What's the damn hurry?

[fononfailure]

Yes, you were. And I didn't knock anybody on anything, though don't tempt me!

[ Wait, "you" who? ...ah. The kid from before. That helps quell her irritation a bit. ] Something important! It's-- Well, today's special.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

I was not! And I'd like to see you try. [no, wait, he actually wouldn't, so he just huffs a little]

Today? What's so special about it?

[scionofhispower]

...

...

[ Asch is just watching her run about, arms crossed over his chest and leaning against a wall.

At least until she crashes right into him. ] ...Replica, what has gotten into you this time?

[fononfailure]

[ Smart man, Asch, smart man. Not that Luke stops longer than is needed to clear her head before continuing on. If he hadn't said something ,she wouldn't have even bothered with a hello. ]

Can't talk now! Busy busy!

[scionofhispower]

Uh...huh...

[fononfailure]

[ This erratic display of complete and utter uselessness continues on for another five minutes or so, at which point she pauses to consider Asch with a bewildered expression, then starts shoving at his back. ]

No good! You can't be here right now!

[scionofhispower]

Luke...

1/?

[indigaytion.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, it's a long haired Luke! But Jade's not in the mood for trolling brats today, so he'll just go back to his book-- ]

2/?

[indigaytion.livejournal.com]

[....Wait.]

3/5

[indigaytion.livejournal.com]

[It's a long haired Luke. With a ponytail. And a purple jacket. And....]

[His eyes slip down to her chest]

4/5

[indigaytion.livejournal.com]

[oh sweet lorelei it was THIS luke]

[someday he'll find karma and indignation it until it stops moving]

[preferably today]

5/5

[indigaytion.livejournal.com]

[but until then...well]

[they kinda needed to talk]

[so he makes the mistake of stepping into the rampaging redhead's path.]

Luke--

[CRASH!]

[And from this day onwards, Jade Curtiss will never again underestimated the speed and strength of a Luke that's racing around like a cheagle who spotted a particularly tasty patch of Yulia Grass.]

/HAS A JADE \8'D/ also, ilu

[fononfailure]

[ Ah, just the man Luke wanted to see! ...except not right now. Which might help to explain how she fails to avoid slamming into the tallest of her friends, though plain derplica idiocy could be to blame. ]

[ And unlike running into another version of herself, there is a distinct lack of bounce when encountering Jade at a high velocity. So she goes down for the count in less time than it took for her to get from Point A to Point B, her own personal fon belt obscuring her vision. You win this round, Colonel Snarky. ]

Owowow...! Watch where you're going, damn it--

[ Crap. ]

Re: /HAS A JADE \8'D/ also, ilu

[indigaytion.livejournal.com]

[Crap indeed.]

[But being Jade, he just smiles cheerfully, as if every bone in his body hadn't just been shattered. Which they hadn't been, but details.]

I believe that applies to you more than it does to me.

[Deck him in the jaw y/y?]

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

[Dear, sweet, baby Yulia on a roller coaster, someone get the license plate of the dreck that hit her. Anise goes head over heel when Luke collides into her, the contents of her grocery bag spilling and splattering all over the ground. What the hell! She is going to brutally injure whoever it was that just ran into her.

As if getting things thrown at her wasn't bad enough! Rubbing her throbbing head, Anise looks around, snorting like an enraged bull.]

OW! WHO THE HELL DID THAT?! I'LL KILL YOU!

+1000 POINTS TO ANISE

[fononfailure]

[ For the best mental image ever, I swear. As for Luke... well, while she has the height and weight advantage in this contest of Spectacular Fail, she still succeeds in fairing only marginally better than Anise. The redhead stumbles back a few steps without falling until her foot catches on a bread loaf - she ends up flat on her backside with a yelp, and the baked good is sent hurtling in Anise's direction like a dough missile from Pillbury hell. ]

Son of a--! [ Wait a damn minute. She'd know that voice anywhere, even after not hearing it for way too long. ] Anise??

DOES SHE GET A PRIZE? it better be gald.

[soaringblast.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, squashed bread is nothing compared to a pointy, paper airplane, or a book a long time ago that she's since forgotten, but still. The loaf nails Anise right in the head and she splutters indignantly, snarling and taking the bread up into her hand like some kind of weapon, ready to lash out at the perpetrator. Said perpetrator, however, is not who she's expecting.]

Luke? [She blinks, then catches a real glimpse at him. ...Long hair. Nrgh. Her expression changes into one of annoyance, nose scrunching up.] What the hell is your problem anyway?! o you have something twisting your noble silk undies or something?! Jeez...I should sue you for my pain and suffering, you know! Jerk...

IT MIGHT BE EVEN BETTER THAN THAT >B)

[fononfailure]

[ Miss Tatlin should really look on the bright side! She could have had the ultimate endgame irony: an airborne melon clonkin' her noggin. The mere sound of Anise's indignant rage freezes Luke in place, propped up on an elbow. Oh man, she's going to die a horrible, painful death unless she can quickly placate the guardian, isn't she? That would be so damn embarrassing. Well-deserved, but embarrassing nonetheless.

Not wanting a gruesome end to befall her here, Luke scrambles to her feet and hurries over towards Anise, taking both hands to help her up. ]

Sorry, sorry! I know I should have watched where I was going, but it's a holiday and I couldn't think of anything, and... [ If Anise is foolish enough to hold the bread in front of her, it'll be squished even further as Luke goes in for a Crushing Hug of Death™. She'll comment on the underwear remark later. ]

Um. A bit late, I hope you don't mind another old man busting in.

[glasses-gleam.livejournal.com]

[Hmm. Well then, it seemed whatever Jade had been up to for the day was going to be dashed by actions of a frantic red-head.

He was going to merely guess at why she was in such a hurry, and hope he was wrong, but he was curious sort, wanted to know. Now how to stop her... Well, it wouldn't do to just run into her, it was ungentlemanly. However, he had an idea. Drawing his spear, he started practicing, counting on a certain Replica's natural clumsiness to come into play as he 'just so happened' to lower his spear down around ankle level.]

Oh pish, late my foot. And Jade is always welcome to bust in so long as he keeps his glasses on~

[fononfailure]

[ Hey now, she's entitled to just mind her own business to the point of being on par with her self-absorbed younger versions once in a while. And is it really being egotistical if her thoughts are focused on others? ]

[ While Luke dashes on by without sparing Jade a glance the first couple of times, he earns her attention when the spear comes out, and she does slow enough to regard him with a wary eye - you could never be too sure in this place. But this is Luke. For all the supposed caution she took, her feet still managed to get caught up in that damn spear somehow and with a colorful curse the stack of envelopes she was carrying went sent skyward, their owner going in the opposite direction. ]

Aaaugh! [ THUD ]

I apologize. Work has been crazy.

[glasses-gleam.livejournal.com]

[This is debatable for the mere fact why she's so concerned is in question. After all, Jade was certainly be questioned.]

[Well, Jade isn't quick enough to catch them all, but he does save a few, and collects the rest before stepping over to Luke, a smile on his face.]

Oh my. Luke, might you tell me why you'd suddenly taken to throwing yourself to the ground? It appears painful.

It's a-okay~ I know how it goes. \o

[fononfailure]

[ Questioning replica logic only leads to headaches and confusion, no matter which replica it is. ]

[ After making sure that yes, her head is still attached - regrettably with the way it's now throbbing, Luke props herself up onto an elbow to rub her nose and shoot Jade a venomous glare. ]

Jade...! What's the big idea, tripping me up like that, huh?! Don't think I didn't see you do that on purpose! I'm oughta chew your leg off!

[ And no, that is not a promise. It's a threat, dammit. ]
