Raidou was at the Shopping district, on his way back to the Agency when he spotted Luke across the street. The sling caught his attention and he walked over, concerned.

"Hello, Luke. How is your arm?"

[scionoftheflame]

It took Luke a moment to recognize him, not just because he hadn't really talked to him in a little while, but also because he was a little muddled by his meds, but when he did a bright smile lit up his face and eyes. "Raidou, Hi. It is okay." if anything he didn't seem to notice it was wrapped up and tied down with the sling at all.

[timelessummoner]

"That is good to hear." Well, at least Luke seemed to be in a good mood. Raidou could guess where the injury had come from, given how many people had ended up in the clinic. "How have you been otherwise?"

[scionoftheflame]

Still all smiles he laughed slightly before answering "Not too bad, but Asch got sick so the apartment has been busy. That is why I'm out here, wanted to get away from all that. How have you been?"

Emil stretched as he left the diner, having gotten a good lunch after a tiring morning of training and exploring a little more of the city. A glimpse of red hair caught his eye as he did, and he stepped forward to get a better look. He knew some people with red hair...

But once he got a closer look, it became clear that he was none of those people. Not even the same age as them, really, closer to Emil's own. The really interesting thing, though, was his injuries: the bandages looked pretty recent, so it wasn't all that old--maybe from that mission people had been talking about? Whatever it was, it didn't look like a lot of fun to deal with.

"Hey!" He ran up to the boy and waved, trying to get his attention. "Are you all right? Your arm..."

[scionoftheflame]

"Huumm~?" Luke made a questioning sound as he turned to look at the blond who was coming over to him. He looked friendly enough, and seemed concerned, though since his pain killers had done their job well he had forgotten about his arm he was a little confused by that concern. "I'm fine, my arm is-" He stopped talking as he had went to move his arm while saying it and ended up only shrugging his shoulder for his efforts. The sling seemed to tie the arm down very well as it didn't budge a bit. "OH! I guess... it isn't as fine as I thought..." He seemed very confused by all of this.

[chaos_squirrel]

"Um..." Emil wasn't entirely sure how to respond to that--was he aware of his own injury? He had to be, or else his arm wouldn't be wrapped up like that. But the other boy seemed a little strange, sort of like he'd just woken up or something even though it was the middle of the day. "I'm sorry, but do you feel okay?" he asked. "You look a little weird right now."

[scionoftheflame]

"Weird?" He asked, not seeming offended by it, just very curious. "I feel fine." He said, looking at Emil funny. "Is there something I should be worried about?"

on a random street

One glance to Luke and Tenten recognizes him. What she doesn't recognize is .... how awful he looks. She has some concern but she's mostly just staring and playing her cards conservatively. After all, Lee was paralyzed in the arm and leg once yet... he didn't look nearly as disoriented as him. In fact, he looks a lot like Lee after he downs some alcohol.
Regardless, she does have some concern for the poor kid. She'll just walk up to him with a face that more or less states she doesn't expect much enlightenment from the conversation, "You okay?"

[scionoftheflame]

(ooc: I'm confused, I can't remember Tenten meeting Luke... I remember her meeting Zelos... course I still have yet to do Luke's CR chart that I need to remember these kinds of things.)

"Humm? Yeah, I'm okay~!" He says in response, a bright, happy smile on his face. He either can't tell what the look on her face means or he doesn't care, but his attitude seems unaltered by it.

[underspinning]

[ ooc: I JUST LEARNED NOT TO TAG AT 5 AM... God I am such an idiot I confused Luke for Zelos... oh well. I'll just...play it off that she thinks she's Zelos or ... something oh my god christ I am so embarrassed /)_(\ ]

She's not buying that. He looks absolutely awful and seems totally delirious. Of course, Tenten doesn't know how to really be gentle when it comes to wording, so here goes a perfect first impression to a person she thinks she recognizes, "What happened to you? You look like shit."

[scionoftheflame]

[Lol, it's all good, and we can play it off like that exactly! <3 I think it is actually fun! (I'm still trying to get a moment when Luke is mistaken for Asch, so this is a good second XD)

"Huh?" Was his initial, intelligent response, as he blinks at her a couple times. "I don't know what you are... do I know you?" He asked, his brain going over the many faces he had seen since arriving here. He didn't recognize her, but there had been a few people who he had only heard... not that her voice was exactly familiar either.

Somewhere between the shops and Creeping Crypt

[kerorogunsou]

(ooc: Feel free to ignore me if this is too late ;A;)

Keroro whistled as he walked, holding a large bag of groceries in his arms. It didn't matter that the bag blocked his view, since his eyes were fixed on the apple balanced precariously on the top anyway. Which was why he tripped on a crack on the ground that he completely failed to notice.

Stumbling, he watched the apple bounce off and roll away, coming to a stop by someone's foot. With a sigh, certain the apple was now bruised, he placed the bag carefully on the ground before running up, "Sorry, that's mi-...Luke-dono?!"

[scionoftheflame]

[OOC: It takes longer than that to make it too late for me.]

Luke hadn't notice that anyone was walking down the street until he had heard Keroro speak, in looking down he also noticed the apple and bent down to pick it up. "Hi." he seemed a bit neutral at the moment, but give him a moment and he would remember that he knew this person and then it would change.

[kerorogunsou]

Keroro watched as Luke bent down to pick up the apple, "Ah, hi, de arimasu. What are you doing here, de arimasu?"

"And more importantly," Keroro looked pointedly at the sling on Luke's arm, "Shouldn't you be resting, de arimasu?"

[scionoftheflame]

He held the apple out to Keroro, a smile brightening up his face a little before it faded away into a half-hearted shrug after having looked at the arm Keroro had pointed to. When he did a look of surprised flashed across his face before looking like he had remembered something. "The apartment is to noisy and busy right now to be resting there... besides I spent all day yesterday resting. I figured so long as I am not over doing it a walk would be fine."

2:30am, at a random street corner

[lionborn]

Leo had been prowling the City streets once again, having found that any attempts to sleep would only bring him nightmares again. Roaming the pretty much empty streets felt in an odd sense comforting to him, even as he casually took twists and turns however he pleased, slowly formulating a plan of the city and all its possible ways through it in his head. Playing 'avoid the Watch' was another game he half-heartedly pursued when he caught sight of a familiar whiff of shocking red hair out of the corner of his eyes.

Stopping, the Half frowned when he recognized - well, not his friend, but still better than some others, hrm - Luke. Who was apparently not quite clear, if the way he stopped and randomly stared at things was any hint. For a moment Leo wondered if he should just let him go, but then he remembered just about how clueless the guy could be. Leaving him out there in such a state was like kicking a damn puppy. ... Mentally cursing his soft side, Leo raised his fingers to his mouth and whistled.

"Hey! Princess!"

edit for the

[scionoftheflame]

Luke's head snapped towards Leo's voice, a startled look on his face for a moment before a wave of dizziness from his meds hit him and he stumbled a bit. He was able to grab onto a building to keep from slamming into anything, but the world would not go back to it's normal state, it just kept spinning and he was starting to feel like he was going to fall over just by standing there.

[lionborn]

"Whoa!" Leo flinched at the sudden turn for the worse. Hurriedly crossing the distance between them, he approached Luke warily, ready to make a quick grab in order to catch the other should he suddenly fall but also prepared to jump back should whatever he's taken make him prone to violence. The latter wasn't very likely, but he had grown up with guys with some volatile tempers, so he preferred to be prepared.

"Luke...?" His voice turned instinctively soft and low as he moved to touch the redhead by the shoulder. "Hey, man, what's wrong? You look like shit."

[scionoftheflame]

Luke breathed deeply a few times, the world still seeming to move wildly underfoot despite his hold on the building. He blinked slightly, recognizing Leo's voice amid the pounding in his head and haze over his brain.

"Leo?" He asked, his voice sounding a bit weak, and the only thing he would be able to 'throw' at this point might be his lunch. Slowly he lifted his head to look at the other. Blinking every now and again to clear out his vision. "Moved too fast, need to not do that on these pills."
