[The feed turns on, and Luke is breathing hard and looks incredibly nervous. He's pressed himself against some rubble and it looks like he was being stupid curious and looking around the houses on the street. He'd barely gotten to the house Conan and Heiji lived in when he heard something approaching, and he made the best decision he could make--

Comments

oh luke, what do you get yourself into?

[kurobakaitoukid]

[Kaito really wishes you two weren't in different places so he could help.]

... cross through some water if you can find some and then get out of sight. That should erase your scent and make it harder for the monster to find you.

TROUBLE. It's obviously becuase his Mun can't SOLVE THE WORD SCRAMBLE. I haven't forgotten -_-

[luke_triton]

K-Kaito!

What if it's r-right outside? I don't think I can get past it without it seeing me.

[If it makes you feel better, Luke really wishes you were here to help too.]

Don't worry about it, KAITO'S MUN CAN'T SOLVE IT EITHER.

[kurobakaitoukid]

... do you have something nearby you like a rock or, well.

Anything you can throw, really.

//headdesk I don't even. This word scramble. I'm GOOD AT PUZZLES and I can't solve it wtf

[luke_triton]

[He glances around him. There's all sorts of rubble nearby, but it's mostly rocks or too big to lift. He looks back at the camera and shakes his head slowly.]

I don't think so..everything is t-too big.

And I don't have good aim, either.

I AM SO BAD AT THAT KIND OF PUZZLE THERE ARE NO WORDS.

[kurobakaitoukid]

...

[Contemplating the scenario. Switches to text.]

Take slow, deep breaths and try and even your breathing.

I know it's scary, but try and calm down. Depending on what sort of monster it is, even an excessive heartrate could possibly draw it in.

I'm not bad with scrambles, but ones this long break my brain

[luke_triton]

ok

im breathing slow as i can

what else do i do ?

someone is coming to help and said to wait quiet. what if it hears clicking from keys?

[Scary would be the understatement of the century, but he's not going to admit that.]

Any sort of clue would just. Like, help immensely, man. Anything.

[kurobakaitoukid]

If someone's coming for you, just sit tight and don't do anything stupid, okay?

[A momentary pause.]

... these things don't have a 'silence' button like cell phones do?

I know

[luke_triton]

whats a silence button ?

im not doing anything stupid i was just walking to conans house and back !

[kurobakaitoukid]

It's a button on cell phones that turns off all noise while you're using them-- including pressing buttons.

I know Luke, I didn't mean that you were doing anything stupid now, just. Just keep making smart decisions, okay? I know you're a smart kid.

[luke_triton]

it clicks but it doesnt beep

i hope the person who said they are coming gets here soon

[kurobakaitoukid]

Just press down on them slowly then. It'll reduce the sound.

I'm sure they are, Luke. No one is going to leave you there.

[ Text --> Video ]

[luke_triton]

i know

[There is a long break, and about twenty minutes later or however long it takes for him to finish with Kresnik in the thread above, Luke is back, and turns on the video again. He's still whispering, and looks a bit of a mess--dusty and a few scratches. And still rather scared looking.]

I-I'm home now.

[ Video ]

[kurobakaitoukid]

Are you okay?

[ Video ]

[luke_triton]

[He stares for a moment, and then nods. Sort of.]

I've never heard a g-gun go off before. N-not a real one, anyway.

[ Video ]

[kurobakaitoukid]

[He wrinkles his nose.] They're nasty things, it's not something I would suggest to anyone.

I hope you didn't look, Luke.

[ Video ]

[luke_triton]

I t-tried not to.

[His expression suggests that maybe he caught a glimpse, but he really hadn't wanted to look--not at a poor dead animal, even if said animal had been chasing him.]
