Twenty-Fifth PSI

[Here's another stranger around town, Mayfield.  Ten years later, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired boy is a twenty-four year old man of stature nearly rivaling the Netherlands.  Those who are familiar with Lucas will easily recognize his shy smile and bright eyes.

1.  Immediately after his appearance in Mayfield, the man is simply meandering, lost in thought with hands stuck into the pockets of his slacks.  He'll be a bit shy to strike up conversation with the people he comes across, although he'll readily do so if he meets anyone he remembers

2.  An odd sight you might come across in the park is a fully-grown man attempting yo-yo tricks.  The vast majority of his attempts are abysmal; he's rusty and hasn't had the opportunity to try this in years, so maybe he'll hit you by accident as you walk by.  After a while, though, he might pull off an amazing trick every now and then, instead.  Regardless of the outcome, he'll be smiling and shaking his head to himself.

3.  For someone like Lucas, the clothing he's got on is really way too fashionable.  Why does he look so spiffy?  The answer might come to those who enter the school's music wing.  Seated at the piano is a grown man, and he plays it beautifully.  This is his occupation on the side, after all, and he may have been interrupted in the middle of a performance.]

((This is the only icon of adult!Lucas I have, so pretend the rest of the icons match.  He's wearing the same outfit as in the icon.  He is not anywhere near as good at yo-yo-ing as the guy in the video; that guy is just amazing and I felt like linking it.))

1 - Because I am just intrigued to see what happens

[Hey Lucas, have Pokey not paying attention as he comes around a corner, hands stuffed in his pocket like and shoulders slumped like the frumpy little ass he is. Of course, he's not going to notice you and we'll easily just bump into you, nearly knocking himself down.

And then something miraculous happens. Instead of screaming at you about how you should have been paying attention, he actually seems...subdued. He'll just look up for a moment as he picks himself up.]

...Sorry. I-

[And then he'll just stare. He knows he recognizes you. He just can't immediately point it. But give him a second and he will.]

[Going to be slow responding, since I'm at work.]

Of course =P

Hey, sorry. I didn't see y --

[ . . . Oh geez. He knows you. It takes him a full ten seconds before his face stops shifting between various expression of shock.]

. . . Porky . . .

... Woah, that's a pretty song.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He just stands there, unmoving. Trying to will himself to move and unable to. He just can't. And he can't get angry. But he wants to so badly, and yet? Part of him just isn't willing Hell, he can't even bitch about his name.. First Mindy, now you. What the hell is going on now?]

Yeah. Hey.

Went home?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
. . . Yeah. You could say that. If I'm remembering this right . . . this is about the time when the gun blew up in my face.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

This is the first time I've played it where someone else could hear, actually.

You never had anyone listen to your music?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I meant the specific song. I was supposed to open for the DCMC just now, but I wound up here instead.

[identity profile] waterpulsing.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I see. That would make sense. I'm Misty, by the way.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
...Gun?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
I never got the details, but it's a weapon that messes around with the time stream. We'll be switched back before the day is over.

. . .

How are you, Porky?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Lucas. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Have you been here very long?

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
So are you actually a future you? With memories of the years that've passed, or what?

...You know the guy who has the gun?

....I'm fine, I guess.

[He doesn't seem to be able to manage eye contact at this point though.]

[ Yo-yo to the face! Well, almost to the face. He manages to dodge it. ] Whoa!

[Hey there older Lucas! It's older Crowe. When the two of these boys get so big anyway?

He almost passes you, not recognizing you, but then stops when it finally dawns on him. But... why were you older too?]



....Lucas?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. This seems to be a version of history where I spent the last ten years at home instead of here. I didn't remember Mayfield at all until I came back here.

And I'm not sure whose it is.

. . . That's . . . good to hear.

[ . . . Who could blame him? Lucas is hesitant to speak as well. Even with the rebirth of the world . . . Porky had spent the last ten years inside his little cage, as far as he knew.]

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, hey! I'm sorry about that; did I get you?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[A slight frown settles on his face for a moment or two, before he realizes. He's only ever met one person with a blue streak in his face, after all.]

Crowe! It's Crowe, right? It's good to see you again!

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It IS you! [He breaks out into a grin.] Yeah, it's me. Look at you! You really shot uop there, didn't you? Wait. Do you have any idea what's going on around here? I was at home and then all of a sudden was standing on a street here.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
((T-That should say ‘hair’, sorry.))

[Lucas smiles, slightly embarrassed.]


Y-Yeah, I ended up having a growth spurt when I was about sixteen. But I never did get to my dad’s height.

I forgot all about Mayfield until just now so I don't really know. I think I remember . . . there was a gun that blew up in my face when I left.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Same here. And Chouno said the same thing. [He refuses to call him "Papillon" except to his face. Urgh.]

I sort of remember it. Things are flooding back to me now that I'm here, but I had forgotton too...

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It must have something to do with that weapon, then. No one ever went home and came back in the same day. Not that I remember . . . And if it is because of that, it’s probably just the town pulling something funny.

It’s almost nice to be back . . . Even if it’s Mayfield. . . . I missed you guys. Even if I didn’t remember. I guess that doesn’t really make sense, but I think it’s true.

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That was my guess. Just another Mayfield prank. I suppose that means we'll be sent back eventually.


You know? I was thinking the same thing. I even remember saying something along those lines to someone here once too, when I was here the first time. I'd miss the people here even if I didn't remember the. I think it's true too.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well....that's....nice

[He opens his mouth as if about to ask something, then stops. In the end, he simply shrugs and starts to leave.]

Seeya around, I guess.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
If that’s how it’s going to be, then . . .

[He nods slowly to himself for a moment before reaching out to grasp Crowe’s sleeve. Lucas as a grownup is still a bit overly affectionate. He gestures towards a bench a good distance down the street.]

Come on. Whatever time we’ll have . . . let’s make the best use of it we can. Tell me how you’ve been
