[It is time to sum up what Lucas has been doing all summer.  This is the culmination of hours of hard work and dedication.  This is the pinnacle of success for the boy who has been deprived of a normal childhood.  It is also the first time the player has tried a post of this sort.

Four scenarios will be presented.  One is welcome to respond to as many of them as one wishes.  Numbering the initial comment may be helpful.
]

First Scenario:
[It is a peaceful day in Mayfield.  But what is that horrific racket?  As the alarm rings insistently, smoke pours out an open window accompanied shortly after by its source, a flaming brick of some sort that unfortunately lands in a rosebush and immediately sets it on fire.  Closer inspection would reveal that this was once formerly a cakepan.  Closer inspection is, however, impossible due to the fact that a coughing, choking Lucas covered in soot has just run out the front door and is now blasting the burning bush with the hose.  He does not look pleased.]

Second Scenario:
[It is a peaceful day in Mayfield.  But what is that horrific racket?  Again?  In the park, birds, humans, and anything with ears quietly begin to edge away from the child ostensibly playing a recorder on a bench.  In actuality, he is managing to hit a note that has never been recorded before in the history of mankind.  This is a great achievement and is followed shortly after by the world record of 'most incorrect notes played simultaneously on one instrument'. 

After about twenty minutes of this, Lucas sighs and places the instrument on the bench beside him.  He does not look pleased.]

Third Scenario:
[It is a peaceful day in Mayfield.  It is difficult to make a horrific racket while drawing, so the town is spared, for now.  He is again in the park, but this time, stares intensely at anyone who happens by.  Those who come up from behind may notice that his artwork is . . . Well, actually, it's not terrible.  He doesn't seem too pleased with himself, though, and there is soon a large pile of crumpled paper around him.]

Fourth Scenario:
[It is not a very peaceful day in Mayfield.  There is a boy in the middle of his yard yelling, screaming, and performing the most bizarre form of martial arts ever invented.  It seems, somehow, to involve a lot of kicking and a lot of . . . yo-yo tricks.  Walk the Dog leaves a trail of burning grass, Around the World breaks off a tree branch with concussive force, and the Forward Pass is . . . actually headed straight at your face.  Whoops.]

[Luke sits back up, rubbing the spot on his forehead where the yo-yo hit.]

Oof...I was coming over to visit.

Oh, I'm really sorry. I don't know what happened . . . I guess I just sorta stopped paying attention.

I can heal that for you if you want.

It's fine, don't worry about it. I've never seen anyone swing a yo-yo like that before! Where did you learn those tricks?

If you're really sure . . .

I guess I sort of taught myself. My brother and I would always try to do outdo each other. He was bolder than I was, so he usually won, but it was a lot of fun just playing around, anyway. We didn't have ones this fancy, though.

You taught yourself? Um, do you suppose you could teach me too?

Oh! OK, of course. It's really not too hard, so you should be able to pick it up pretty quick.

Do you want to try now?

Sure! It looks like fun!

OK. You hold it like this.

[Lucas demonstrates for the younger boy, hooking the loop with his middle finger and grasping the body with his hand. He offers it to Luke shortly after.]</small. Here, go ahead and try.

I thought I responded to this T_T sorry

Okay. Um, like this?

[Luke imitates what Lucas is doing. Unfortunately the first couple of times ends with Luke nearly tangling the yo-yo, but on the third try he successfully gets it.]

No problem

Good! Now flick it down gently. Try to do it as straight as you can.

Okay, here goes. [With a flick, the yo-yo goes straight down before returning to his hand. Success!]

That's great! You'll want to practice that a while until you're sure you can do it really smooth before you try any real tricks.

All right! I'll keep practicing then! What other kinds of tricks can you do, Lucas?

[Preferably non-lethal ones =|]

Well, this is the easiest one, I think. It's the one I was trying to do when I, um. Hit you.

[The Forward Pass is shown for real! It's just a flicking out of the yo-yo horizontally.]
