[ So, Luke has been here for a few days now. Mostly, he's been keeping to himself and hanging around Guy's place, but with the recent curse he's decided to go out and...well, honestly, he's not really sure why he's out and walking around. Guy was pretty cranky, and Luke was pretty sure he wasn't going to stand for his staying-on-the-floor shenanigans.

So, here he was, out and about. He looks rather frazzled, and keeps looking to the ground nervously. Why was he out again? Because, this is a terrible idea. Probably one of the worst idea's he's ever had, and oh god, oh god he's going to fall over for sure, and--

Luke stops quite suddenly, and slowly



Very, very slowly



He lowers himself to the ground, and just lies there. After a moment, he seems to try and drag himself along, but he gives up on that pretty quickly. Seriously, it wasn't worth it. He was perfectly happy lying where he was, safe and on the ground. So...yeah, it doesn't really look like he's going to move any time soon. ]

_{[When Ruca sees the person on the ground, he quickly rushes to his side.]}

H-hey, are you okay?

_{[Not the best question he could choose, but never mind that. Ruca is frowning with worry all this time, wondering what he should do now.]}

[thewilltolive]

I'm fine. I just...didn't feel like walking anymore.

[ His voice is kind of muffled, but he does seem to be okay. Not that he's making an effort to get up or anything like that. ]

[demonicbookworm]

...Didn't feel like walking...?

_{[That doesn't sound right, but... well, the other seems to look okay.]}

Do you need... some help to get up?

[thewilltolive]

No, I'm perfectly fine laying here. It's safer on the ground anyway.

[demonicbookworm]

Safer...?

_{[now that doesn't sound like your okay if it's safer on the ground for you.]}

[thewilltolive]

You know, I can't fall over if I'm lying down.

[ Totally fool proof. ]

[demonicbookworm]

"Fall over"?!

_{[He's going you a very worried look now and tries to grab your hand to help you stand up.]}

You're not feeling well, aren't you? You can't stay here!

_{[sick people should stay at home and rest, not lie on the ground!!]}

[thewilltolive]

Wha--H-Hey, I'm feeling fine!

[ And he's standing oh god whyyyyy. He should have just stayed at home. Everything would have been better if he'd just stayed under the bed like a normal person. ]

[demonicbookworm]

I don't think you do. Here, I'll help you go back home.

_{[because you can't stay here.]}

[thewilltolive]

[ You know, he would protest some more, but he seriously doubts it'll do much good. ]

Fine. Just--don't let me fall. [ He's crying inside, really. ]

[demonicbookworm]

Don't worry, I won't let you fall.

_{[There is no need to worry at all! probably]}

[thewilltolive]

Okay. If you say so, I guess.

[ DOES NOT SOUND SO SURE ABOUT THAT, but. You know. he can...totally tough this out. Ohgodohgod.

That is not very comforting. ]

[demonicbookworm]

...Where do you live?

_{[if he's suppose to help you get back home he has to know.]}

[thewilltolive]

The Pendilium apartments. I don't think they're too far from here.

[ He hopes they aren't, anyway. ]

[demonicbookworm]

Ah. I live there, too.

_{[Now that will make things easier.]}

[thewilltolive]

[ So much easier. ]

You do? Well, that'll help things.

Uh--I'm on the third floor. Room three.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca nods. He smiles a little, nodding.]}

Okay.
