008 [Action/Voice]

[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.]

[That's okay by Luke, although her actions are still very worrisome. Also, Jade's the one who kids around, not him. 8|

He rubs the back of his head as he tries to figure out how to explain this.]

I-I'm not really sure how you got here, but... this place is called Luceti. A different world. A lot of people got pulled here from places other than Auldrant.

[A different world.]

[A different world.]

[Yeah, she's not buying that. Plus, she hasn't seen your wings just yet. ~~She's too short.~~]

Luke, you fell on your head when they brought you back, didn't you?

["Brought him back"... But that flies over his head in favor of defending his honor.]

I did not! Tear, Guy, Asch, Natalia and a lot of other people are here, too!

[Anise pauses, and her teasing look turns turns to one of morbid confusion and a hint of guilt. That couldn't be right. Everyone else, maybe, but...]

Luke...that's not--Asch is... [But then she has a sudden realization and clamps her mouth shut. Did he forget?] What's the last thing you remember, Luke?

[Sorry, but her question is getting tossed aside in favor of Luke take a step forward.]

What... Anise, what happened to Asch?

[How did it get to this point? Damnit, Anise did not want to break this to Luke. Not after she had been waiting close to a full year to see him again. This moment should have been filled with smiled, laughter, and tears! Not just tears.]

...Asch died, Luke, before we went to fight the Commandant. You were the one who told all of us! I-I guess you saw or felt it or something, we weren't there to see it happen. But...But you came back, and I-I knew you would! [That was a horrible lie, Anise.] S-So maybe Asch can come back, too! I-I'm sorry, Luke...

Asch...

[That's about all he can say before he just... stares ahead with wide eyes, not really seeing Anise. Asch was dead in the future? But... how could that be? How could Asch be dead? No, no, no, not after all that's happened to him, after all he's worked for to ensure the world was safe again! And... And him, too! Guy's panic, Anise's hug, everyone's hesitation around him, did... did everyone know?

He feels light-headed. Luke presses a hand against his forehead as he takes a step back.]

No...

[Anise watches Luke for some time, feeling sick and cold - which wasn't solely because of the chill in the air now. It's only when he speak again that she takes a careful step forward, to make sure he doesn't faint or anything. She takes his hand carefully, squeezing his fingers and avoiding his eyes.]

I-I'm sorry... Luke, I'm really, really sorry...but you're here right now, a-and you said Asch is, too! S-So...there's nothing to worry about, right? You're both here, so...so--

[That hand might to squeezing your fingers a tad more tightly.]
