023 [Action] (Fourth Wall)

[fabrecation]

[Well. Luke wasn't expecting to pop up in the middle of the plaza relatively unharmed. Just a moment ago the Malnosso were preparing him for... he didn't want to think about it, really. But now he's here? He escaped somehow? And... there seems to be a huge crowd of people around him.

Huh.

Right now, he just wants to get home. So, he takes in a deep breath, then begins to try pushing his way through the mass amount of newcomers.]

Sorry - Coming through - Would you watch it?! - Hey!

[Gosh, this is giving him the strangest sense of deja-vu for some reason.]

Comments

<3

[explains]

Hey...

[Guy 2... Er, Guy places a hand on Luke's shoulder, trying to calm and reassure with an easy going smile.]

I'll--we'll stick around as long as we can, alright?

[In the meantime he looks over Luke's shoulder at his other self, shrugging a little.]

On the Plane it doesn't matter just meeting people. It's like... A place enclosed--you know? It doesn't affect timelines directly just to see yourself from another point. The tricky part is... Well if you tell someone from the past what's going to happen and they try to alter the future. It can... It has changed the world. I've seen it. Timelines diverge. Worst case, you destroy the world. So talking's fine, information is kinda more another matter.

Don't worry, I don't plan on telling you who you marry or anything.

[Seeing as he hasn't even dated anyone this would be a difficult piece of info to impart but no one said he was above trolling himself.]

[fabrecation]

[Luke looks back at the first Guy and opens his mouth to protest, but then they're talking again. ... Dammit. Now not only does he feel a bit left out, but now it's a pretty sure thing that neither of them will be staying here.

He presses his lips together and lowers his head, even as the other Guy rests a hand on his shoulder. Call him selfish, but he wants both of them, or even one, to stay here longer. He's missed his best friend so much, and a lot of things have happened ever since Guy first left Luceti. It'd be nice to talk and just... let him listen, or give advice, or... just be Guy.

Oh god there's a stupid lump in his throat. Dammit.

... Which is why his voice has a bit of a crack to it when he lifts his head in surprise and yells:]

Wait, you - You got married?!

God, I'm bad at this... HI GUYS.

[relinquishing]

[Guy can feel his face paling a bit at that comment, but he manages a dry chuckle, rubbing a hand along the back of his neck.]

Well, that's a low blow. What, don't tell me I really decided to pick things up from Jade over the years?

I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or disappointed!

[He's not going to bother wondering if his other self is serious or not. If sharing information was the delicate matter of this conversation, then he wouldn't be so stupid as to diverge o something that serious. Except for the sake of messing with people's heads.]

SUP

[explains]

Hahaha...

[Guy laughs awkwardly at his other self's rather too perceptive comment--maybe he has spent way too much time with Peony and Jade these days... It's a little scary to think they've rubbed off on him. Oh well. He looks down at Luke, expression softening fondly. He tries to keep the pain out of the smile.]

That'd be telling. But you don't think I'm going to be single forever, right Luke? Man, that's cold.

[He ruffles Luke's hair to reassure him and glances at the other Guy.]

Mind if I borrow myself a moment? Afterwards, I promise, we'll go do something fun. You can show us around if you want.

HAY GIRL

[fabrecation]

[There's a fierce blush on Luke's face as Guy ruffles his hair, and he glances off to the side. It's... weird. Really weird, thinking that Guy got hitched somewhere down the line. Even if it's not true, and Luke's suspecting that it isn't, he can't help wondering what kind of lady Guy would like. And if he'd be the best man, hence the blushing.

Also he's embarrassed. Bah. Trolled again.

But with that question, Luke looks up at him with some slight confusion.]

Borrow my... oh, right. [God, this is weird. Luke hesitates for a second before he steps to the side.] Yeah, sure. ... Just come back, okay? [He doesn't want to let either Guy out of his sight. Not after he just got him back.]

Oh please, Luke, Guy likes ALL the ladies. (also 1/2)

[relinquishing]

[Have a second confused glance, other self. Oi, that came out of nowhere. He's a bit suspicious of your intentions, especially after just talking about how delicate conversational issues were...

But hey. It's not every day you get to have a meeting with yourself, right...?

Regardless of how uncomfortable he's feeling, Guy gives a light shrug and walks forward, following the other blonde as they make their way off to chat in private. He takes a moment to turn towards Luke, a smile hitched onto his face.]

Don't worry. This shouldn't take too long, alright...?

2/2

[relinquishing]

[The two men stroll along for a while until Luke is out of sight. Their pace finally slowing, Guy's back to crossing his arms, his shoulders tight, giving a dry stare to the blonde standing in front of him.]

Well, you got me out here alone. What's up?

[More importantly: what was so important about this that they had to be out of earshot from Luke?]
