008 [Action/Voice]

[fabrecation]

[Luke had been trying to get back to House 5, but it's awfully hard to do so with a sudden crowd of people. There's a whole slew of sounds coming from the journal as if Luke's right in the middle of the crowd, along with Luke himself switching between trying to be polite and being outright indignant about being pushed through a sea of people. One can hear him saying "Excuse me" and "Sorry", along with "HEY" and "WATCH IT, YOU JERK".

Eventually, though, the noises fade as Luke escapes and slides down the wall of a house that he decided to take refuge behind. With a loud sigh, Luke straightens his jacket and speaks to the journal, ignoring the light pain in his abdomen from his still healing wound.]

What a pain...

Guy, Asch, Natalia, I don't think I can make it back to the house. I'll just camp out or something, okay?

[Maybe he can find some marshmallows and make some awesome smores or something. Away from the sudden crowd.]

...Kinda like I did? [Yousuke rubs at the back of his neck as well, utterly lost.

He bends down near the red-head.] You know, I can, uh... [Heal a little? Would it even work outside the TV? And how is he supposed to just tell a random stranger that?] ...help you up. If you need.

[fabrecation]

[... Well derp, that's kinda awkward.] ... Yeah.

[And Luke doesn't particularly want to stand up, considering that it hurt to sit down. But getting up and getting further away from the crowd is probably better than sitting all day, so he nods and shifts, and though he's accepting the help, he's still trying to get up by himself.] S-Sure, I guess... I can't hide out here forever!

Hey, if a bunch of people I didn't know started showing up where I lived I'd probably be weirded out too. [He's doing his best not to panic, really.]

[He offers the other teen a hand, then a shoulder if he needs it.] I'm Yousuke, but the way. Where should we go?

[fabrecation]

[Luke takes the hand, though not the shoulder. He doesn't particularly like depending on people for things like this. And though he's still mildly irritated, he still smiles.]

I'm Luke. [And with a glance to the crowd-] ... Not out there again. Let's find some clear path or something.

[guyslikegames.livejournal.com]

Clear path. Got it.

...Clear path to where? Anywhere?

[fabrecation]

[At first, Luke nods... But then he shakes his head and waves his hand as if to dismiss his approval.]

No, wait, I know where we can go. How about we go to my house? I can tell you about this place when we get there.

[guyslikegames.livejournal.com]

If you don't think you'll have too much trouble getting there, sure.

[It's hard to tell how badly the guy's hurt.]

[fabrecation]

I'll be fine, really! [It's not too bad or anything, just an ache from a not-fully-healed wound. Luke waves his wrist as if to wave off any other concerns, then turns to give a confident smile.]

So, let's go! [Luke'll lead the way. He edges out of his hiding spot and sticks close to the wall, where the path is clearest. He'll look behind him every now and then, too, just to make sure that Yosuke is following him.]

[guyslikegames.livejournal.com]

[Yousuke follows, glancing around himself every now and then with a frown. Nothing about this place is familiar.]

[fabrecation]

[Luke can understand that, so he'll try to explain as he edges past some people - he has to speak louder than normal, though.]

This place is called Luceti - It's a completely different world than where you're from! I'm not from here, either!

[You don't say?]

I've kinda dealt with this sorta thing before...

There's a way out... right?
