Thirty-First PSI

I  . . . I'm not sure what came over me.  I guess it must have been the town playing tricks again, but I was feeling really strange last week.  I'm really sorry.  Especially to you, Tavros.  We only just met and, um.  You're not even a girl I don't think.  I-I promise I don't actually like any of you, so please don't worry about that kind of thing. 

I mean! Wait!   I do like you, all of you, a lot!  Just  Not.  Um.   You know.  Ah.  Not like...... N-Not ............... I'm just going to apologize and hang up now.

1.  [It is early Saturday morning and Lucas is walking a dog down the street.  This is standard fare for Lucas's weekends, but Lucas appears significantly more animated than usual as he talks aloud, seemingly to himself.  But actually . . . It's pretty clear he seems to think he's holding a conversation with someone.  The dog is, of course, welcome to tag as well.]

2. [It is early Monday morning on the way to school and there are a few birds sitting on top of Lucas's head and shoulders, tweeting merrily away.  Once again, he appears engrossed in a conversation.]

3. [I'm just going to outright say it.  If you are an animal or own an animal, Lucas wants to talk to you/it.]

4. [In the Mayfield Library, Lucas has a table all to himself and is frowning a little as he concentrates on the task before him.  There are photographs and hand-drawn pictures of people scattered all across -- much more of the latter.  There are at least 30 different drawings, each of probably unfamiliar people.  A blond man with a scarf and a cigarette and a dark-haired young woman feature prominently among them.  ....What Lucas appears to be doing is fitting these pictures into an elegant notebook of some sort.]

<sub>[ Taiwan finally decides to see what this whole library business was about. Surely they didn't have books on just car repair! And they didn't - instead, she was met with a collection of 1950s cookbooks, among others she figured were just as boring. Sorely disappointed, she makes her way out... when she sees Lucas.

She sneaks up from him from behind and watches him work for a moment before speaking. ]</sub>

That's really pretty.

[One of these people may actually be very familiar to Taiwan. The Netherlands is the main subject of at least five of the drawings, in various states of recognizability. Lucas starts at the voice, though, and sends a few papers flying off the desk.]

A-Ah! Oh . . . Hi, Miss Taiwan. Sorry. You surprised me.

[naicha]

Hee hee. Is that supposed to be the Netherlands? He looks a lot like him, you know.

_{[ She starts picking up the papers scattered on the floor. ]}

[Nina is sitting outside her house, playing with Alexander]

[For the sake of setting, let us say Lucas is walking home on his way to school. He smiles as he passes close by the girl and her dog, waving a little.]

Good afternoon! It's a nice day, isn't it?

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, it's that kid from before. He sounds like he's talking to someone....or himself?]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Huh? . . . I guess if you show me the next time he comes, I can try to say something about it. Otherwise, you might have to find someplace else. Squirrels aren't very good about sharing . . .

[Lucas does not appear to notice Zidane quite yet.]

3 - Noting Azrael has his own account, eagleazrael

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

[If Lucas happens to be passing the park, he'll find Arslan there with his eagle Azrael probably flying nearby.]

Thanks for letting me know!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas is constantly in the park. For the purposes of setting, let's say Lucas is heading there with his sketchbook to practice drawing as he does every day or every other day. Arslan is nearby his usual bench . . . ]

Ah, excuse me. . . . Will you be needing that seat?

[VOICE]

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

Oh-- Um! It is definitely okay, and I think we had that, uuuh, disease that destroyed your human brain, but it is gone now I think and you probably have no reason to like me, in any way, at all, so I don't blame you for, uh, not.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I do like you! I mean. Thank you for coming to look with me, Tavros. ... It was nice of you.

_{[Welp. Sulpher's just on his way to 912 Bilko, seeing as Vayne seems to have moved to that house.]}

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[And Lucas is walking down the street with a messenger bag around his shoulders. Looks like he's coming home from a meeting with his boss. After overtaking the cat meandering down the sidewalk, Lucas glances down and slows his pace.]

I think I know you. Did I draw a picture of you once?

[Nana pauses on her way to school to stare at Lucas and the birds.]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I-It's the middle of winter! It isn't my fault there's not much food . . .

[Lucas does not appear to notice.]

[roadroller]

Oh jeez, you have to say it? ♪ Well I don't like you that way either! Just so we're clear!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Good.

[Girls have cooties, anyway, right.]

Um. You can keep the chocolates and stuff, though, anyway. I don't really mind.

3. Mayfield crows turned familiars. Have fun. XD

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

[A set of crows sit chatting on the fence outside 337 Brady. When Lucas approaches, the one turns to look at him, but the other takes a hop back from him.]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas doesn't have to be a psychic to think there's something a bit odd about this pair. He slows down a little as he approaches.]

Good morning. Don't let me interrupt your conversation . . .

[Lucas may notice a small brown rabbit on his way home, looking confused and lost and more than a little worried. Dawn is nowhere to be found.]

((OOC: This is mostly a placeholder for later. Further replies will come from bashful_bunny, but I need to make some icons for the Buneary journal when I get home first.))

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas slows down a little as he shifts his backpack. What is particularly odd about this bunny is that there are little white fluffy patterns around it. Almost like clothing somehow.]

Is something wrong . . . ?

((Thanks for letting me know!))

[snackaholictank.livejournal.com]

Sorry about... shovin' you like that.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

... Was that the town, too, or did you mean to? I mean, you don't have to apologize either way, but.

[Minato is out walking as well, hands in pockets and slouching as usual. Seems he isn't listening to the droned adults telling him to straighten up. Upon seeing a young boy walking his dog, talking to it, he smiles a bit, feeling a pang of a feeling alien to him: homesickness.]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I, um. I don't think I've got a favorite type of soil to dig in. I guess I never really thought about it that much . . .

[Lucas quiets down a little as he begins to approach the man, though.]
