[The days of January have passed relatively uneventfully for Lucas. He's had a lot to think about, and a lot to consider. For now, though, each time passes much like the rest, and he will take happiness in whatever peace he can get. His routine is fairly straightforward.
1: Every morning, early morning, Lucas gets on his tea table and delivers his paper. He's still getting used to the hang of it, though. Maybe he'll accidentally smash it into your door, at which point, he'll hurriedly get off to check to see if he damaged anything. Most of the time, he hasn't.
2: After school, he practices piano alone in the music room. By this point, he can be eavesdropped upon without anyone wanting to forbid him from ever touching an instrument again. The songs he plays are strangely melancholy.
3: In his free time, he sits in the park or in his house and practices his sketching. Most of the time, he's drawing his friends, so perhaps you'll run across him drawing you.]

[A phone call is broadcast to everyone later that night.]
Hello? A-Ah. This is Lucas.
I've been thinking a lot lately, and there's something that's been on my mind. I guess I want to ask . . . How long has this town been here? How long have people come in and out? Does anyone really know? But what's more important is . . . does anyone really remember everyone who's been here?
When people get droned, we think they've gone home, right? It's the hope we have, and a lot of the times it's true, but can we really be sure that it's everyone? Sergei -- the Russian man. He, um. Didn't he say that they were in a lot of pain? That some people who were droned . . . that they were still inside. If that's so, then . . . then we can't just forget about them, right? Even if one person is still here as a drone, we can't forget about them. And either way, it's terrible to forget the people you've become friends with at all. To forget about the people who've come to Mayfield and who've gone.
............. I know I've already started to.
Does anyone think we should maybe start keeping track? Just . . . something so that the people who come here won't ever be forgotten. Maybe even signatures. So if you do start to forget, then you can look back and see everyone's name and remember. Small things like . . . Miss Margot, and how she was always caring for her sister. Fuuko and how much she loved starfish. Mr. Zero, and how fun his gym classes were.
It might be a bad idea. Or too much work. But . . . Well. I guess if you don't want to talk about that, maybe we can just share stories of people who've been here and how important they were to us. I'd love to hear that kind of thing.

Date: 2011-01-29 04:27 am (UTC)I wasn't close to them yet. But I think Luke was. He's one of the other kids that live here.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 04:33 am (UTC)Then that means Mr. Giriko and Miss Roshian are gone . . .
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 04:37 am (UTC)[she didn't know his last name is Triton, but she knows Roshian's name so by the time he says that, she nods even though he can't see it.]
Mm, that's the one! ♪ So you know them, too?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 04:45 am (UTC)[He is personally of the opinion that they were dangerous to Luke's health, but he declines to comment further.]
Luke'll probably be pretty upset . . .

Date: 2011-01-29 05:03 am (UTC)Only about a month, then. So you probably haven't gotten to know your family too well. Luke's really nice -- I think so, anyway.

Date: 2011-01-29 01:41 pm (UTC)You had a party, huh? Say, was Luke feeling pretty sick afterward?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 01:51 pm (UTC)[Rin was a tad drunk herself by the end of it, although she just thought it was her human body being strange.]
He was really sick the next day though. ♪
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 02:12 pm (UTC)Eheh. . . . I thought it was probably something like that. I hope you didn't feel too badly afterward, too.

Date: 2011-01-29 07:09 pm (UTC)Um. Just by the way . . . you have a really nice sounding voice, Rin. It almost sounds like you're singing.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-30 04:26 am (UTC)[That is indeed what the music notes are meant to convey! Her syllables are all tuned to notes when talking, as Rin's about to explain.]
I am singing, technically. My program is geared toward songs, so I have a bit of an accent when I try to speak normally.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-30 04:31 am (UTC)[Lucas has no idea what you mean, and this is asked in that polite way that people say things when they have no idea what you mean.]
That's why you sound so . . . musical, then. But could you explain that a little more?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-30 04:37 am (UTC)[No worries Lucas, she gets that a lot, especially since coming here.]
I'm actually a humanoid robot called a Vocaloid. My voice is a computer program that simulates vocals. ♪
no subject
Date: 2011-01-30 04:48 am (UTC)Oh! Wow . . . That's the first time I've heard of something like that. So you meant that you were programmed to . . . sing?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-30 07:22 am (UTC)Right! ♪ Any more questions?

Date: 2011-01-31 04:54 am (UTC)[Lucas sounds genuinely interested.]
. . . Can you tell me more about how you were made and that sort of thing? I understand if it's personal, though.
