[center][h3][color=springgreen]The White Mage[/color], [color=f26522]The Deviant[/color], [color=f7976a]The Doujin Girl[/color], [color=#F7FE2E]The Doll Maker[/color], and [color=#FE2E2E]The Fuel Tank[/color][/h3][/center] Radi-radiation... huh. Graham nodded before turning his head and discreetly spitting the chewed up apple bits out. And the apple? It relocated to a convenient, nearby trash bin. Real nice neighbor, really. [color=springgreen]"Yep. Really uh...... really should have seen that one coming."[/color] he muttered under his breath. Lukas didn't bother grimacing over the somewhat morally ambiguous response, nor the silence that Graham answered him with (which he assumed was pure agreement over the situation). Fluffing his hair up, adjusting his sheathes, and striking a smile with prominent cocky gazing, he knew he was ready to strut his stuff. [color=f26522]"You can do some research on her Meredith!... but only at a distance; I'm the expert who has [i]hands-on[/i] experience with these events, so leave the examination of the alluring damsels anatomy to me.~"[/color] His head held high, he winked back at his friends as he gave them one last reassuring nod and whisper. [color=f26522]"Watch and learn, the master is goin' t'show you how it is done once more!~"[/color] Lukas strode towards Ruri, conviction and pride on the palette shown like a blinding torch. As he approached the girl, he made careful observations as to how he would go about this whole spiel... in hopes of not getting shot down and sinking. Meredith simply giggled, waving bye to Lukas as long, sinewy, appendage extending quickly from her upper back and catching the apple before it fell into the trash-bin. She was pretty sure she was more familiar with female anatomy than he was, considering he'd probably never seen any before and she was in fact, a female and had hands on experience with her own body daily. Well, it'd be funny to see him fail again. So she brought the appendage holding the apple back to her, dropping the fruit in one of her hands before the tentacle disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared beneath her clothing. More importantly...she turned her head to Graham, greeting him with a grin that could probably only be called nightmare fuel. Uh-oh. Graham felt a chill run down his back. Something was wrong. Danger mode. DANGER MODE. DEFCON-1, PEOPLE! The girl then turned to Graham, apple in hand. She walked right up to him, resting a hand on his shoulder, the same appendage that caught the apple appearing again in her sleeve, as it started to wrap around Grahams back. Not tight enough to actually restrain him, but definitely enough to make him feel a bit uncomfortable. Ew. Ew ew. ewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewewwewewewew- Not good. Not good at all. That slimy tentacle...ugggh. Graham couldn't stand the slimy tentacle. It was just so disgusting looking. And...oh God... the texture. Bad day. Bad day. Bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day bad day ba- [color=f7976a]“Awww,”[/color] The blond spoke, leaning forward...close enough for her chest to touch his. [color=f7976a]“Don’t like my…Apples?~”[/color] Her voice was low, definitely suggestive in manner. [color=f7976a]“Maybe you’d prefer…melons?”[/color] She then proceeded to take a bite out of the apple, some of the juice running down her chin as she licked her lips.[color=f7976a]"That's...easy enough for me to fix, hehe~"[/color] Her face was mere inches from his now, probably close enough that she could almost kiss him, if she wanted too. See...people have this primal need to have their personal space. Some leftover shit from when they used to live in caves and kill bears with their bare hands or something along those lines. In this moment, Graham felt that oh-so important need being violated, not just by an unwanted intruder, but by THE UNWANTED INTRUDER. Meredith was so very close...why, she could most likely see the terror screaming behind his eyes. DANGER MAX DEFCON -5 Need to scream rising. No. No no no. Bad Graham. Keep calm and diffuse the situation. Make a little joke, change the topic, lighten the mood. [color=springgreen]"Uhhh haha...yeah, I'm uh...more of a vegetable guy, really. Carrots are nice, y'know? Err, no I mean uh... OH! You've got something right uh...yeah."[/color] Suddenly, Meredith’s chest would begin to feel just a bit heavier to Graham. If he just so happened to look, he would actually find her endowments to be getting just a tiny little bit bigger as she wrapped both her arms around his neck. [color=f7976a]“Oh?~”[/color] She giggled. [color=f7976a]“Well…Carrots can be arranged, too.”[/color] For a moment, something seemed to shift under her clothing, specifically, around her skirt and abdomen area. Soon after, a second sinewy appendage slithered out from her other sleeve, revealing what was in fact, a carrot. [color=f7976a]“I grew ‘em myself, too~”[/color] The second appendage, then brought the orange vegetable, right up to Graham’s mouth as she gave him a somewhat expectant look. NOPE! People we have reached critical overload. This is a MELTDOWN! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! WE REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! EEE-OOO EEE-OOO! Graham's mouth opened, and a scream almost made it's way past his throat, but as Graham took a step backwards, his foot caught the apple bits and he lost his footing. Falling backwards and dinging his head. Scream dead, third grade completely forgotten. Well, she was most certainly not prepared for Graham to trip. The blonde girl fell with him, locking her arms around his neck tightly as they fell, him dinging his head and her ending up on top of him. Well, she didn't find the turn of events unfavorable. The blonde simply laid there, still on top of the boy, not seeming to have much of an intent to move herself at the moment. Instead, she brought the half-eaten apple back to her lips and took another bite of it. [color=f7976a]“Ehe, oops. Someone bumped his head.”[/color] She giggled, swallowing the apple. [color=f7976a]“Need a…comfy pillow to rest on?~”[/color] She pressed her chest into him again, just for emphasis. Before he got a chance to reply, she sat up, and got off of Graham. Her tentacle appendages disappeared into her clothing, taking the carrot with them. She stretched, before looking down at the guy and giving him a friendly grin as she offered him a hand to help him stand up. She had played with Graham enough for now. She was curious as to whether Lukas had been completely rejected yet. Again. Well, besides the stinging sensation on the back of his head, Graham wasn't in too much pain. He was in a situation though. Not a good one. Like, seriously, Universe? Fuck you. The boy waited patiently in hopes that Meredith would get off of him. No dice. Again. Just more harassment. Again. Then she did get off him. It was a miracle. Graham took her hand and rose back to his feet. Now that little episode had passed... Wait... Where was Luk- Shit. [color=f7976a]“Hey hey, come ooon, I wanna see Lukas get rejected.”[/color] She said once Graham got to his feet, not letting go of him. Instead, she promptly started dragging him to where Lukas was probably failing miserably to get with a girl. [hr] [center][h3]~Meanwhile~[/h3][/center] [i][color=f26522]"Alright, so I know what she's wearing... modest, covering up her necessaries... not much to work with unless I strike up a friendly conversation - tone of voice and body language, tone of voice and body language... watch for that."[/color][/i] He eyed the girl and her position, starting at the stocking laced legs and working his way up to the skirt; afterwords her torso and arms. Finally, her face - she seemed to be in a good mood; maybe something swell happened to her today, or it was the fact that a dashing young man was walking up to her. Lukas chose to believe the latter for the time being as he popped out from somewhere, giving the girl a strong smile as he pretended to notice her out of the blue. Keeping pace with the endowed lady and smaller friend, the boy spoke cheerfully - a sharp contrast to his previous attitude from earlier. [color=f26522]"Nice lookin' day today; reminds me of this girls attitude and the way they're dressed!"[/color] Lukas gave the chick a wink as a hint as he continued talking. [color=f26522]"What's gotcha in a great mood any way? Found a new interesting read or successfully completed some challenging task?"[/color] Her musings interrupted slightly, as a boy entered her field of view, Ruri half lowered the pipe in her hand. [color=#F7FE2E]"Indeed, it is a splendid day, however, you are too kind. Perhaps you should check yourself when you rise every morning."[/color] Commonly speaking, while taking the hem of her skirt, and gave a small curtsy, a habit from her lifestyle. Always return with polite words and behavior, especially towards someone you've never met. She turned her gaze up towards the sky, before the bemused smile returned. [color=#F7FE2E]"While it is a wonderful day, it's the change in scenery that has placed one such as myself in a positive mood."[/color] Everything was going as planned as the girl welcomed the exchanged. It was surprising to him, refreshing he could say, to not get shot down before he actually began flirting. The facade began to fade a little as his smile continued to beam blindingly. [color=f26522]"Me? Oh, you're too kind, but I'm nothing special you know - just another magi aiming for greatness, but I'll be sure to commit that advice to memory."[/color] He bent his head slightly, tapping it twice before noticing where she was looking - the cerulean heavens above. Lukas was lost in the sea of blue, only hearing what the girl had to say. It felt like a cut-scene out of a video game; except it was just the background with dialog... soothing dialog per say. [color=f26522]"Heh, the summer weather is rather refreshing; on days like this, you could head to the beech, relax, and get some eye candy for both guy and gal."[/color] Putting his arms up, he began stretching before putting his hands behind his head, yawning a tinge. It wasn't long before his own head was level with the ground once more, the silence waxing for a moment. [color=f26522]"But doesn't that mean I'm a part of the change of scenery too?"[/color] Lukas turned his head to the girl, abruptly shooting it out as he stared. [color=f26522]"Guess that means I've kinda put an elegant lady in a jovial mood,~"[/color] Lukas exclaimed, his pearly whites now on full display as he continued. [color=f26522]"That leaves me in a great mood too, you know! Now that I think about it..."[/color] [color=f26522]"You're participating in the Magus Tournament from what I can assume,"[/color] his tone grew a bit more serious, drifting away from the carefree mood he was in for a bit. [color=f26522]"So I can assume you're going out to compete too."[/color] His face was still, neutral even as he began recalling the task. It almost looked as his mental processes stopped, as his desires and logistics were in a game of tug of war, vying for control whether he would try to get into her pants, er skirt, or finish his mission, [b]then[/b] get into her skirt. [color=f26522]"Hey, maybe I could help deal with your needs, and you with mine; I understand this is a competition, but we need to help each other out from time to time."[/color] A mischievous grin formulated as he tilted his head downwards, dwelling on a few fantasies once again. [color=f26522]"Before we do any 'research' on specific topics, I still have to introduce myself too... and, y'know, give you the choice of pairing up."[/color] Letting one of his hands fall back to his sides, he put a hand on his chest and gave a polite bow due to her reaction from earlier. [color=f26522]"My name is Lukas Kunze, year five, master of matter with my glamorous mind; may I have the pleasure of knowing your name, other than your middle name being [i]beautiful[/i]?"[/color] Looks like his desires won this round, per usual...with some really, horrible flirting. Ruri had to contain her laughter. This boy, was trying far too hard, It was be so much easier if he went about at a more natural pace. This was almost like one of those romantic plays. Her amusement hidden behind a smiling mask of an expression, Ruri pondered for a moment over the boy's -who had introduced himself as Lukas- words. Magus tournament. Which would mean that it was a place where many different magi showed off their magic. Perhaps she could find the key to her lifelong goal there. [color=#F7FE2E]"Of course I shall be competing. However, perhaps finding allies to support one another beforehand isn't such a bad idea."[/color] Choosing to answer the more serious question first, before choosing how to tackle the more....informal method of his advances. [color=#F7FE2E]"While some needs may be taken care of by others, one shouldn't be so intimate with an acquaintance. Perhaps if we were to know each other more, then one can give it some thought."[/color] As gentle as she could, she tried to decline the advances from Lukas. It had seemed to be going well, until Suki spoke up. [color=#FE2E2E]"Master, don't waste your time with this degenerate. He obviously lacks the brains to communicate properly."[/color] Glaring at the boy with an arrogant look, her expression as if she was viewing a cockroach, mildly disgusted and almost pitying. However, a smug smile quickly appeared, as her gaze lowered slightly. [color=#FE2E2E]"But...I guess his brain is big enough. When compared to what he packs down south anyways."[/color] As the young woman softly declined his prodigious proposition, Lukas began reclining out of his slightly exaggerated pose. Before he knew it, he was standing normally as the Cheshire smile began to dissipate, leaving him with a much more, honest grin. Her denial wasn't as over the top as some of the other prospective companions rejections (or rude for that matter), as she left him with a bittersweet taste in his mouth, more leaning on sugary delights. It left him open to at least try again for the matter, but above all, he felt successful for once. [color=f26522]"... Heh, alright, I give, I give. Starting at square one instead of at the very end suits me fine too,"[/color] Lukas spoke gently, his previous, corny facade vanished and he became a bit more genuine. Before he continued on, that little loli he previously forgot about popped up into view, criticizing Lukas very harshly. The little devil went on about how he lacked any sort of gray matter to the wisdom he heralded. [color=f26522]"Excuse me, but aren't you being a bi-,"[/color] he cut himself off at her final choice of words, which left him dazed, with widened eyes. Did she... Did she just really insult... His. Man. Hood?! Despair crawled like tiny spiders onto his face, little by little; his right eye twitched a little. For a moment, he was at a loss of words, befuddled to the point of more return, reeling from the damage caused by that insolent, little girl! It was difficult enough dealing with Meredith's insanity, but going as far as to just be plain crude when they first met? But, UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH he wanted to retort so badly, and yet her friend who he hit on was still lingering about. She went too far, yet he couldn't give some retribution... ... Maybe he could... just maybe. The color on his face began returning to him as he furrowed his brows, looking downwards at the fiery child in charred clothing. [color=f26522]"Y'know,"[/color] his voice was shaky, yet irrepressibly calm, the eye of the storm. Lukas wasn't going to let this lovely ladies rude acquaintance get the best of him, nope, nada. [color=f26522]"Insulting someone without knowing a single thing about em' is a great way to give yourself a nasty rep."[/color] His pace was even, a rhythm of words flowed out like smooth jazz. [color=f26522]"... but I [i]know[/i] when someone is trying to dissuade the competition; it isn't arduous to understand."[/color] His tone was faintly condescending, his voice was surging with confidence, his neutral mouth growing upwards into a sneer. Lukas' eyes focused down the girl, as if she was a transparent, malign spirit who held no love for mankind. [color=f26522]"Face it, I can tell you are infatuated with your friend and you don't want to see another snatch her away, correct?"[/color] A trump card was at hand, a jest was made - he truly appeared serious on the matter as he indolently crossed his arms. His eyes read "your move," as he stood there awaiting the girls next volatile strike. Suki turned her head and crossed her arms over her flat chest, as she heard Lukas speak. Of course, hearing the boy trying to defend himself only riled up her fighting pride. However, glancing from the corner of her eyes with suspicion, as the boy continued to speak. Suspicion that had become true. [color=#FE2E2E]"Y-you! W-w-w-what are you t-t-trying to i-imply?! I couldn't care less whether or not Master wants to h-hook up with you! Like I give a d-damn!"[/color] Her words interrupted by numerous stutters, her face completely red as she dropped her arms and glared head-on at Lukas. Lukas failed to comprehend that something like this would happen as he lowered his arms completely; his confidence twisted to sheer befuddlement as the girl began stuttering like a two year old attempting to enunciate a word or two. His hands drooped downwards, completely segregating as they limply stood at his side. He was honestly at a loss for words - he barely knew this chick and already he was guessing correctly, whilst on a joking manner! [color=f26522]"Uh, missy? I was, er,"[/color]The boy attempted to get his piece in, outstretching his arm just ever so slightly... but the girl continued to motor mouth through, as if Armageddon was at hand. Lukas could only shakes his head mentally as he stood there, letting the whole scene play out. [color=#FE2E2E]"However!"[/color] Pausing momentarily, she pointed at Lukas, her arm outstretched, as if to emphasis her point, she continued speaking. [color=#FE2E2E]"You were quite desperate when you were hitting on my Master, despite only meeting her! Which probably means that you have Never. Had. A. Girlfriend. Ever! Talk about pitiful! The most likely conclusion was that you were a disappointment to every girl out there! So it's most likely that t-the size of y-y-your...your...that you are rather lacking!"[/color] Unable to even properly finish her sentence, as Suki's face seemed to become more and more flushed with embarrassment. However, before she could continue her rant, Ruri calmly placed her hand on the smaller girl's shoulder. [color=#FE2E2E]"...Master...? Why are you using the Neutra-"[/color] Before she could finish her words, an object appeared above Suki's head, about a meter away. The object, taken by gravity, dropped quickly, and slammed into her head with a heavy sound, of thick, sturdy metal impacting bone structure. Mouth agape in shock and pain, the girl lost consciousness, and would have fallen to the ground if not for the support of Ruri's hand wrapped around Suki's waist, while the object, easily seen to be an over sized gear, rolled a few feet before tipping over and coming to a halt. Although only for a fleeting moment, it seemed that there was a dainty pair of hands in the air where the gear had appeared. However, as soon as Ruri sent her gaze at them, those hands retreated into nothingness, as if they were never there. [i][color=f26522]"At this point, I have no clue whether to pity the girls desperate attempts or be shocked at the fact that she can't come up with any good insults at this point."[/color][/i] It was invariably obvious that it wasn't getting to him since he had the upper hand... well other than the disappointment part which he bared his molars for a brief moment, as if pain was coursing through his veins. [i][color=f26522]"Ok, so while in a disruptive, accusative, angered state, she becomes just about as accurate as a shotgun - lucky to hit something if she tried."[/color][/i] While he didn't react to anything, he cooled down just a tinge as the loli cluelessly quizzed her... master? This child was a familiar? That answered his question over why this lovely lady could stand hanging around such an arrogant person. Of course, what happen next left him completely dazed. An... over sized metal object dropped onto the young girls head with a sickening crack, before the cog slammed onto the ground with an erupting clunk. While he flinched a bit, holding his hands up a few centimeters from his torso as if they were miniature shields, he took heed of the lifeless hands that wiggled in a robotic fashion before dispersing into thin air. Ok then... That's one way to shut her up (a super creepy and harmful way), but Lukas found that method to be a bit overkill; someone as soft spoken as her could of conjured up another, less unpleasant way to resolve this, no? [color=#F7FE2E]"I must apologize for this child's behavior. She has quite a number of flaws, but she's a good kid."[/color] Bowing slightly, Ruri kept an apologetic expression on her face, until she straightened up. [color=#F7FE2E]"If I recall, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Ruri Tokei, year six, and a humble doll maker and clockwork designer. This child here is Suki, and she is a Living Artifact, and my catalyst."[/color] Lukas returned his attention swiftly to the young woman who introduced herself as Ruri Tokei, doll maker. He couldn't help but shift around slightly as she then went to introducing her brash mouthed companion as a living artifact. His interest was slightly piqued about them both, but he couldn't help but worry himself over the peculiar magic Ruri heralded. Putting up his former attitude, he continued to act as if nothing alarming transpired, though he did ponder on the physical condition of Suki. [color=f26522]"I-it's fine Ruri, and it's a pleasure to meet you too,"[/color] he exclaimed with a nervous smile. He eyed the cold girl, limply held like a doll by her master. [color=f26522]Er, I don't think that shushing her up like that was completely necessary,"[/color] he spoke out, showing some concern for both familiar and master. [color=f26522]"I mean, I can tank insults, but don't you think that was... extreme to an extent?"[/color] Lukas spoke, worried over the intensity of the situation and how calm she was while performing the feat. At any rate, he managed to stand stalwart, but had some disquiet traces about. [color=f26522]"So, I guess those... things you summoned with that portal - your dolls?"[/color] Lukas felt that this whole situation had gotten tense and eerie as possible. [color=f26522]"... er, maybe you can elaborate that later, or something."[/color] He feigned a smile before continuing on. [color=f26522]"So, you wanna walk, talk, and grab a bite with some of my friee..."[/color] As he jabbed a thumb out at where they last were, he rotated his head to see what they were up to... which lead to him to cutting off mid-sentence. His jaw was agape as he watched Meredith hastily dragged Graham over, like a sock puppet, nearing the trios location. [color=f26522]"Oh dear god, what did she do while I was gone,"[/color] Lukas muttered under his breath as Doujin Girl approached. [color=f26522]"Uh, friends; these guys!"[/color] Lukas turned his gaze back to Ruri, anxiously smiling as they arrived. Meredith still had a death grip on Grahams wrist, practically dragging the boy with her. Any protests he may have had, fell on deaf ears as she approached Lukas and the two girls, her usual grin displayed on her face. She was even humming a happy little tune, with the apple in her free hand as she walked up to Lukas and his recent victims of horrible flirting. How did she know it was horrible? Well, one he was Lukas. Two, one of the girls was passed out. [color=f7976a]“Lukas!~”[/color] She cheerily greeted, walking up to him. [color=f7976a]“Ehe, flirting with other girls again, are we?”[/color] She chuckled, glancing at Suki. [color=f7976a]“Swing and a miss, hmm? Must have been really horrible ones if she passed out.”[/color] She ended with a teasing giggle, before taking the final bite out of the apple. Still, since they hadn’t kicked him out yet means he must not have offended the other girl too badly. Well, that was interesting. Most girls she knew ended up brushing him off. [color=f7976a]“I’m Meredith!”[/color] She introduced herself to Ruri, fumbling around in her clothing again for a few seconds. [color=f7976a]“Want a carrot? I was gonna give it to Graham but he doesn’t want it.”[/color] Ruri calmly shook her head in denial at Meredith's guess regarding Suki's current...predicament. [color=#F7FE2E]"No need to worry, it was this child's fault for being unable to behave appropriately."[/color] Quickly explaining the unconscious girl, Ruri's attention diverted towards the boy being dragged. The carrot-topped hostage's eyes were wide with terror, as he shook his head from side to side, frantically mouthing the word NO over and over again. Her thoughts interrupted as the girl had offered her a carrot, withdrawn from the depths of her clothing. Unfazed, Ruri smiled. [color=#F7FE2E]"While I'm grateful for the offer, I'm going to have to decline. I'm not hungry at the moment."[/color] [color=f7976a]“Aww, no one wants my fruits and vegetables.”[/color] Meredith sighed, though she wasn’t really disappointed. [color=f7976a]“I worked so hard to grow them... Welp, more for me then!~”[/color] The blonde then stuffed the thing in her mouth, and began to chew. Ignoring the comment about the fainted girls’ behavior, Meredith simply extended her right hand instead. Still smiling, Ruri mirrored Meredith's actions, and extended her hand as well, shaking hands with the other girl. Meredith grinned and vigorously shook the other girls’ hand with both of hers, perhaps a bit too enthusiastically but otherwise, she opted not to mess with her for the moment.[color=f7976a]“Hehe, well you’ve already met Lukas! The one being all shy back there Is Graham.”[/color] As Ruri corresponded to Meredith's actions, Lukas was relieved that nothing went awry for the most part, seeing as Meredith was very eccentric in her field of "research." Of course, the jab was unnecessary, but he shrugged it off as he reverted to a reserved state. Eyeing Graham, he mouthed out the words "sorry" to him, whilst displaying a hidden tinge of displeasure before continuing with his collected demeanor. [color=f26522]"Well, shy is a bit of a stretch Meredith... discomfort is more like it due to someone elses actions."[/color] Lukas gave her a glancing glare before resuming. [color=f26522]"Anyways, even though you aren't really peckish at the moment, you wanna join up with are little group? These two are gonna grab something to eat before they continue on with the Magus Games since they forgot to eat this morning."[/color] Lukas gave the girl a warm smile as he extended his hand forward, giving her the option to latch onto it, sealing the deal, or to deny it. As he did so, the large cog near the five began to lift itself off the ground, hovering in place briefly before floating right over to Lukas. He took a brief look at it before mentioning something else. [color=f26522]"By the way, do you want this back?"[/color] Ruri shook hands with Lukas, and with a nod, agreed to join up for their little outing regarding food. However, as she beheld the sight of her gear being lifted up, and floated over, most likely with magic. [color=#F7FE2E]"Ah, when you mentioned mind and matter....I presume this would be it? Telekinesis? Or some variation thereof?"[/color] Out of curiosity, Ruri voiced her question, before shaking her head lightly in denial. While she would prefer to take that gear back, that was not possible while Suki was still out cold, as using magic directly was a bad idea. However, by chance, the loli in her hold stirred, before struggling to stand properly. [color=#FE2E2E]"M-master....? Ugh....I have a pounding headache...."[/color] Now that her catalyst was awake, Ruri could cast her magic. [color=#F7FE2E]"On second thought, I'll retrieve the gear."[/color] With that, the pale, disembodied pair of arms reached out from nowhere, took hold of the gear, before withdrawing back into nothingness, taking the cog with it. [color=#F7FE2E]"Shall we get going?"[/color] Gently grasping her hand and shaking it, Lukas was glad that she came to the conclusion of joining them before commenting in awe over the floating gear. [color=f26522]"Right on target Ruri,"[/color] Lukas free hand snapped, the boy winking in approval of her answer. [color=f26522]"Telekinesis is my specialty, through and through! Wish it could lift up people, buuuuut,"[/color] shrugging, Lukas put both of his hands up, flat in the air, [color=f26522]"that's how the cookie crumbles; maybe in the future I might be able to bend the will of people."[/color] [color=f26522]"That would make it easier to pick up girls, wouldn't you agree?"[/color] [color=f26522]"I'm ready, hope you two are,"[/color] Lukas exclaimed proudly, excitingly squeezing his fist as his elbow jabbed downwards. [color=f26522]"Lets go, Team!... uh..."[/color] He stopped speaking mid-sentence, staring absentmindedly as he stood there, a bit embarrassed at this whole situation. [color=f26522]"... RWBY? Ok, forget I ever said any of that... please."[/color] Eh, maybe coming up with a squad name wasn't such a bad idea, if he didn't continuously act this hammy.
