018 [Action]

[fabrecation]

[Sup, Luceti. There's a certain redhead walking to the bakery.

A certain redhead who's wearing nothing but briefs.

Every now and then, he appears to tug at something below his wrist with a little frown before moving on ahead casually, as if he doesn't even realize that he's pretty much half naked.

At least he's got the body for this kind of thing.]



((ooc: Luke is following The Emperor's New Clothes, although instead of believing his clothes are invisible to those who are stupid or unfit, he just thinks he's actually wearing very nice clothes.))

[Nonsense, those little flowers just add to the taste! But once Luke hears that, he stares blankly for a second, and he looks down...

And sees just what he's wearing. Just briefs. And he blushes and reaches up to rub at the back of his head -

Until he blinks and sees the clothes of royalty once more. He shuts his eyes and shakes his head, then gives her a curious look.]

What are you talking about? Of course I'm wearing clothes! See? [He seems to pull at something near his chest.] It's kind of tight, but... That doesn't mean I'm not wearing anything.

[i_am_not_cute]

No, really. Just...just look down! [Because Pao-lin's trying desperately not to.]

[fabrecation]

[He looks down, and... sees a perfectly normal outfit. Granted, it's gaudy, but...]

I, uh... still don't see anything like underwear.

[i_am_not_cute]

[Oh boy. This is one heck of an experiment.]

Well, okay, but...aren't you cold?

[fabrecation]

Yeah... But that's because this thing's really thin. [He runs a hand over his torso with an annoyed frown on his face.] I don't know why I decided to put it on...

[i_am_not_cute]

Hmm... [Inspiration!] Hey, if you're cold, we can go to the clothing shop and get you something to put over it, like a jacket or something.

[fabrecation]

[On one hand, a jacket would ruin the effect that such a snazzy outfit would have.

On the other hand, Luke has never cared about how outfits like this look, and he is cold.]

... That's not a bad idea. We can go back to the bakery later.

[i_am_not_cute]

[WHEW. Crisis averted. Well, beginning to be averted.]

Yep! I'm sure those cupcakes you were looking at will be there when you get back. You should definitely put on a jacket if you're cold, so you don't get sick!

[And with that, she turns to head out of the bakery.]

[fabrecation]

Heh, you don't have to tell me twice.

[That's precisely the reason Luke got so sick last year, after all. He pulls on the space above his wrist again before he follows after her, and he'll speak once he gets beside her.]

By the way, I'm Luke.

[i_am_not_cute]

I'm Pao-lin! It's nice to meet you. [Even if you are a little nekkid at the moment. But that's okay, 'cause the clothing shop is right next door! She'll open the door to the clothing shop for Luke.] Have you been in Luceti long?
