Huh?
[phone]
[Oh OK so. That just happened. ...Lucas listens a little blankly to the announcement before blinking a few times to himself.]
So, um. I'm... kind of... still here... So don't worry! ...I mean, not that it's really that important, and there are probably a lot of other people who are really gone, but. ...Is there someone else named Lucas here?
[action]
[Today is a normal day. Lucas delivers the mail, takes his rounds making sure his friends are alright, stops by at the malt shop... And yet, everywhere he goes, he gets nothing but dirty glances. It's more than mildly confusing, and so it is that he ends up sitting on his front porch frowning to himself. It's been a long time since he's done so, but eventually, he'll get out the yo-yo and begin to quietly practice some tricks by himself.
The rhythmicity of the movements makes him feel a bit better.]
((Lucas was wiped, so please respond as if he were fake!))

Shut up!

[Holy crap that's the first time anyone's ever said that to him. Lucas stares stunned at the phone for a few moments before recovering himself.]
Who... Who is this? Why would you say that?
no subject
[ I'm sorry, she's being kinda mean... ]
no subject
Is this about the pods from before? I promise, nothing like that happened at all! They just got the list wrong, I think.

[ Her yelling begins to fade into a sob. Rika begins crying like Furude Rika would, unable to speak anymore under the weight of her sobs. ]
no subject
Except this time, he has no idea what he can say.]
I... don't understand.
But if it's that talking to me is hurting you somehow, then... please stop. Please stop crying.

It's not you. You don't upset me at all. I don't care about you. Just give him back. Give my friends back, you... you...
[ Her voice trails off again. It's pointless. Why would the fake listen to her pleading anyway? ]
2/2
You're right. Talking to you is painful and annoying.
Just give up. You're only making a fool of yourself.

[Lucas will very slowly move to put the phone back before he has a final thought.]
O-Oh, um. If I'm really gone... I mean. If your friends are really all gone... They'll be back soon, right? Mayfield doesn't do things permanently.
no subject
Don't say that... don't say it like that! They will be back. They wouldn't leave us like this, you'll see..! [ And then hangs up so she can go cry somewhere. ]
