Sample Dialogue for Corrupt Luke
If you've been following Paradox Lost and checking out the Layton tags in Tegaki E, chances are pretty dang good that you've learned about Corrupt Luke. Corrupt Luke is part of the Paradox Lost storyline, though he doesn't exist yet within that 'verse. Rest assured though that he will indeed be coming to thrill and chill you. However, I must clear the air a bit.
The Corrupt Luke that exists in Tegaki is NOT the same as the Corrupt Luke that will appear in Paradox Lost. That's Aren's version, a happier and more playful version. The Layton tag's semi-unofficial GM, Top-Hat, expanded on him, creating a C!Luke that was increasingly more mischievous, lethal and recently, a father of one.
The true Corrupt Luke, who will come to exist within the confines of Paradox Lost, is more menacing and cold by comparison, at least in my opinion. Since I'm still struggling with Part 23, I'm giving you a bit of a teaser to show you what I mean. Keep in mind, this dialogue may not appear in the story at all, so it shouldn't be taken as fact that it will show up.

"The most beautiful sight in the world, as I discovered in time and as you will learn, my boy, is the vision of countless stars shimmering on the surface of freshly spilled blood." Corrupt Luke murmured wistfully, running his fingers through his younger self's hair in a strangely tender gesture, "It glistens like specks of silver on red satin, but it lasts only for so long." The sad smile didn't fade in the least as he tapped Young Luke on the nose. "It reminds me of the Professor, you know. The light of Time flickering madly on the last few traces of him left to me in the world; it stayed in my mind and the only way I can truly see him now is if I see starlight on fresh blood."
Young Luke whimpered as he pulled the blanket higher to cover his face, not bothering to struggle when the black-clad young man tucked them back down.
"But when it dries, that memory fades away, so I have to find more fresh blood to see him again. Over and over, like scarlet paint, I must renew my supplies." Corrupt whispered and gestured towards London, "And here... here is my canvas, with all the paint I could ever desire. I'll teach you how to paint, my boy... and we'll start with that scientist in the brig...."
*****
There you go! *shiver* It's actually quite difficult getting my mind into character for my Corrupt when I've been hanging around the Tegaki Corrupt for so long, so this piece was tough to write. And if it was hard writing this little bit, imagine how much harder it will be for me when I finally get to introduce Corrupt in Paradox Lost. ><;
Well, back to work. Wish me luck on this!
