Video; UN: JustLuke

[faithfulson]

[ The video starts showing Luke, looking like he totally knew what he was going to say in his head, and then realized it probably wasn't the best thing to say. He paused, frowning slightly to himself, before he let out a sigh. ]

This... is going to sound like a very strange request.

[ He took a deep breath, like he was preparing himself for people to be very confused. ]

Is anyone willing to throw rocks at me?

[Tsuna definitely looks confused.]

Why do you want someone to throw rocks at you?

[He's pretty sure he's had that training, but why actively invite it?]

[faithfulson]

I... need the practice.

[ He paused a moment, hunching his shoulders. ]

My abilities from back home are gone, and I don't know how to use these new powers I've been given. I'm hoping going through familiar exercises will help.

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, the new magic's pretty weird. I'm kinda in the same boat.

Was getting rocks thrown at you a regular practice?

[He has to ask.]

[bakudan_bambino]

Do you have light magic?

[faithfulson]

No, I don't. At least, not as far as I've discovered. Why?

[bakudan_bambino]

Because then you could create shields against the rocks, and I've got light magic.

What kind of magic do you have?

[cutesneeze]

[There is a catgirl squinting suspiciously at the screen, as though looking for a catch in the request.

And then she shrugs.]

Yeah, sure. Why not.

[faithfulson]

[ Luke's eyes widened in surprise, before a small smile came to his face. That was fast! He didn't expect someone to agree that quickly. ]

Where can I meet you?

[cutesneeze]

Edge of the city, on the road to the Dusklight Woods. Probably less likely to freak out the locals.

[skybound_knight]

There are better ways to train yourself at dodging than that.

You know, rocks may actually hit you.

[faithfulson]

I'm not trying to dodge.

[ He shrugged slightly. ]

Besides, it was the best thing I could think of.

[takoyakitori]

Are you trying to train the magic they gave you here?

[he's not...exactly volunteering to throw rocks, but he might. He's curious.]

[faithfulson]

Hoping to? I'm... mostly trying to see how much I have to work myself to function without my abilities from home.

[takoyakitori]

[wait.]

What kind of abilities did you have? It's been hard to adjust without mine, so I can imagine it might be tough for you too.

[zunge]

Sure. If that's what you want.

[faithfulson]

[ ...oh. ]

You don't even want to know why?

[zunge]

You explained why elsewhere here. I don't see the big deal. Not like it'd kill you, right?

[colchismagecraft]

[She couldn't help but smirk hearing that request. That was one way to let her frustration at the world out, right?]

That sounds amusing. Very well.

[faithfulson]

...I'm starting to be worried about how quick some people are to just throw rocks at a stranger without asking questions.

[colchismagecraft]

It seems as if it could be amusing stress-relief.

...Besides, I assume you have some rational reason to be asking.

[Unless he's just a massive masochist anyway.]

[scotch_egg]

Please don't tell me you're a healer. We're bloody lousy with healers right now.

[faithfulson]

I don't know yet. I've been trying to figure it out, but coming here was a bit disturbing.

[scotch_egg]

Isn't it? We're not supposed to be here. None of this is supposed to exist. I have things to do back home, but no, it's bloody save the universe with children. Not to mention there's no sense of organization and no one knows what the hell they're doing and yet we're expected to help without actively destroying anything.

[madcuriosity]

You are correct, sir, that does sound like a strange request. Won't you get hurt? Also, no one should throw stones at someone else.

[faithfulson]

Well, with any luck, I won't have to worry about the stones coming close enough to hitting me.
