Oh, tank you... ah, Mister Ghost. I was beginning to wonder about that. Perhaps it's a curse or spell.

[Cube wasn't much taller than Luke, and definetly shorter than Phantom. Luke's struggles may be weakening but Cube did not wish to hurt the boy anymore than what he already seemed to be suffering from.]

I'm very sorry, Luke, but I'm going to have to call for some help since you refuse to stay still for your own well being.

[The small demon snaps his fingers once again. Along the ceiling, above the cot, a black void opens up. Unlike his other times summoning Soraoto, Cube wasn't asking for merchandise, just help, and thus.... no reason to use a magic circle. When Soraoto showed himself, he was just a pair of gloved hands attached to long black arms that, from the looks of it, seemed to go on forever. One hand stretched out to make itself and it's attached arm look like a question mark. It didn't speak but Cube seemed to under stand it well enough when he responded to it.]

I need assistance with Luke. He needs to be restrained, but carefully.

[The hands give a thumbs up. Another set of hands draw out from the black void and all head for Luke.]

[invisibill]

Well I beg to differ. Something is obviously wrong. [His continued assistance on not needing any help was enough to tell Danny that.]

{He raises an eyebrow at Cube's actions.] Impressive. And its Phantom.

[luke_triton]

[Even if he had been capable of providing his full cooperation, Luke wasn't sure that he'd be so cooperative right at that moment anyway. With his hands free, he'd started moving for the door despite knowing that it was locked--until the ceiling opened up into a big black hole and arms popped out. He couldn't even attempt to say anything at this, because he was a bit too busy staring at the disembodied hands in wide-eyed terror.]

[It took him a second to get his bearings again, but as the now-four hands reached out for him, he panicked and started backing away. He didn't realize that he'd backed himself into the corner until he actually bumped into the wall.]

[Being cornered reminded him of a few hours earlier when Tatsumi had pinned him to the wall, or even earlier when Megumi had done the same before biting him. He looked at Cube, frozen in place as the hands got nearer to him.]

*Abusing Cube's Magic Powers foreverin this log* *SOB*

[loyal_cube]

[Cube nods at Danny, agreeing but he turns a bit sheepish at being praised, and even blushes a little. however he nods again, taking note of the ghost's name.]

Ah, yes.... My apologies, Mister Phantom.

[The flash of fear in Luke's eyes brings Cube's ears to droop a bit. he knew how scary this was, and how Soraoto is only adding to it but there was simply no better solution.]

I'm sorry, Luke. I really wish I didn't have to resort to this.

[The small demon nods at Soraoto and the merchant demon soars through the small space of air between him and Luke to grab him by his limbs. A fifth hand creeps out and goes to hold Luke's torso, picking him up and carrying him over to the cot and placing him as gently as possibly onto the bed while still restraining the youth and his struggling. Cube walks over to Danny and snaps his fingers once more, two sets of restraints appear before their eyes and fall into Cube's arms. He holds out two for Danny]

Please help me restrain him. As soon as we do, I can inspect Luke's injuries and possibly ask Soraoto to retreat.

Sorry, Danny has issues with medical restraints.

[invisibill]

[Danny eyes the restraints doubtfully, their appearance bringing back far too many bad memories.]

Are these really necessary?

It's okay, Soraoto is there. lol

[loyal_cube]

[Danny's response only makes Cube feel worse about this and he turns away without a word. Quietly, the demon begins to work on the restraints, holding up one to an offering hand of Soraoto's.]

I'm sorry...

[Cube leaves the last restraint to his demon friend before he hesitates to begin examining Luke's head injury, doing his best to hold the boy still enough without hurting him. The whole situation makes him heart drop.

But Eirin told him to always do what was best for his patients and he planned to go so. In light of things, Soraoto's free hands make a some-what recognizable "TA DAAAH!" expression, open jazz hands and all, which Cube kindly ignores.]

Breaking posting order ftw!

[luke_triton]

[Luke watched most of these happenings silently and with no visible comment, complaint or otherwise. He'd just been carried across the room by a few sets of disembodied arms, and was now tied to the bed.]

[He wished he could explain how glad he was that he couldn't get himself back out the door. The disembodied hands were trying to do something funny--well, he figured that's what they were trying to do anyway. He glowered at the hands. It wasn't anything personal, but he couldn't help it. Even as the disembodied hands let go of him, he continued to wriggle against the restraints. However, they kept him mostly still enough to not actually disrupt any sort of examination taking place.]

[Cube was staring at his face. Even as he continued to wriggle against the restraints, he caught the doctor's face and just crossed his fingers and hoped that he could relay at least a little bit of his relief for all of Cube's instance on tying him down.]

[invisibill]

[Danny watches all of this, still a little uncomfortable with tying a kid down. He was a little curious about the thing with the arms, but that didn't matter right now.]

Kid, try to calm down. Okay? No one here is going to hurt you.

[loyal_cube]

[For a moment, just a split moment he nearly missed, Cube thinks he could possibly see a glitch in Luke's facial expression, mainly his eyes. It strangely gives the young doctor a renewed feeling of determination. He was going to help Luke, even if Luke didn't wish to be helped at all.

Cube checked Luke's vitals before nodding with Danny.]

With these injuries, he'll need to stay with me at least overnight. I may have to keep him longer should he not get proper rest... and if his behavior continues.

D-do you wish to stay with him? I plan to keep a close watch on him for the next twenty-four hours... but you're welcome to stay.

Aaand Danny, Luke will totally get you off the hook here because his body is mad at you..

[luke_triton]

No! I don't want anyone to stay, especially not him since he made me come and I'm fine!

[Lies. All sorts of lies. He couldn't stop himself from saying it and the words sounded cruel out loud. They were probably supposed to, but he didn't even mean them. What he did want, however, was for someone to call the Professor or Mr. Meryl, because they'd probably notice if he didn't come home. He also wanted to thank Phantom and Cube, but that probably wasn't happening either.]

[Externally frustrated with everyone in this room, he continued to wriggle against all medical interventions and the four-point restraints he was in, but wouldn't make eye contact anymore, and his protests had gone silent if only because he was too tired to keep making such a vocal fuss about everything. Even his body seemed to know that there wasn't much left to do but sit and be frustrated at being tied down.]

Awww

[invisibill]

[Danny shakes his head with a chuckle. Now there was a familiar reaction.]

That's okay, I was only planning on staying until he got checked out. Whoever did this is still out there, and they could be going after someone else. I'll let his guardians know he's here if I see them.

[He crouches down and looks Luke in the eyes.]

It was Megumi, right? That's the name you said? Was there anyone else involved?

[loyal_cube]

[Cube nods and goes to leave for a moment. He snaps his fingers and exits the room to fetch some supplies, what little he had at the moment, and let Soraoto and Danny keep watch for those few moments. All of Soraoto's hands retreated into the void, but the dark void itself still hung over head while Danny and Luke conversed.]

[luke_triton]

[He frowns at Phantom. All the niceness in the world was not going to make his body decide that behaving was a good idea. He was distracted briefly by all of the hands disappearing into the ceiling.]

[Yes. Tatsumi first. Megumi didn't really do much.]

J...just Megumi. And she didn't do anything! You don't have to go find her..that's what I have to do!
