[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!))

[Lucas will begin to walk by.

And then, as he spots Luke, his eyes will open a little wide and he'll begin to try and cross the street.]

Where are you going?

[Not that he cares if fake!Lucas runs away from him, he...just doesn't have anyone to talk to okay.]

...Home.

[With something of a small effort, Lucas will turn back around. He'd talked to Karkat about what was going on, but... it was still so difficult not to feel that repulsion.]

...Of course you are. This isn't really your home, you know. Although it's pretty pointless telling that to you.

Since I don't like you very much right now, that means you're real. Right?

I am real.

[But if Lucas was asking him things like this, then...

No, he had to be a fake. Right?]

You know, I don't think there are actually any fake people in the town at all. It seems like there should be a few to make things more confusing, but...

It doesn't feel like that's what's going on.

[Luke glances up, letting his guard drop a little.]

The dreams we all had and the list that was released are probably connected somehow.

...Everyone on that list had the dream, right? And we all agreed. That's probably what happened.

It makes sense but...

...

I don't know, maybe it's true what they're saying.

...

If this town is really a simulation, we're all already fake, anyway.

That's good to know, I suppose.

So...

As long as the fake thinks they're the real... does it matter very much, do you think?

...Yes, I suppose in the end it doesn't matter.

It'd be nice if other people felt the same.
