Luke a little closer -- Luke/Selena

-She let out a soft laugh as he pointed out his rad company. That had been why she’d asked, of course. However, her cheery expression faded when she’d heard that- . .. Talk to your mom? but, I thought.. -she trailed off, and then took his hand, smiling a little- Luke? I think I misinterpreted the meaning of this festival. Would you… Explain it to me? -she tilted her head. Some sort of strange celebration where you sent letters and spoke with the dead? Honestly that didn’t sound like her sort of scene… but she’d give it a shot. She had asked, after all.-

[lukeystxike]

[ / Tilted his head, blinking a bit obliviously as she took his hand. He started to swing their hands gently as he rocked back and forth, shrugging] Sure! It's not a big deal, y'know. It's a pretty festival even if the whole, [ / With his other hand, waved a huge arc, emphasizing his words] main purpose is kinda really deep and all that. [ / Snickered ] 

[ / Hummed, and dazed off into the distance, ] "s just where peeps' are supposed to write letters to 'em others who are dead, and all. One's ya can't really talk to anymore, yknow?" [ / Nodded, and took out an small notebook from his pouch ] See? Gotta tell Mom a bunch of stuff this year round, [ / Smirked, chuckling, and pulled away from her grip to skip ahead, and waved her to follow ] 

It's not all too depressing tho, 'Lena. The sights are all, [ / Waved his hands over his head, and creating a Wsshh!! sound effect ] Bright and stuff! All the fireflies and lanterns make everything so... [ / Calmed down, paused, and continued ] really... pretty...

[lukeystxike]

Luke! I hear theres a festival today. Go with me. -Selena flips her hand and puts a hand on her hip, waiting for him to accept her 'invitation'-

[/ Was in mid grin—] Hey Selena!! Long time no chitchat, yknow? What brings y’round here?

[/ Blinked, startled at her proposition— but.. ] Festival? … [/ paused, started to hum out loud as he thought, but suddenly shut up, slapped his hands together as he remembered] Yeah! The Firefly Festival, right? Wrote up a letter for Mom that I need to send off, mhmm~♪

[/ He tilted his head, and shrugged ] Hmm! That sounds pretty good, I guess! You got yourself some wicked rad company, sister. But I kinda might want to be alone for a bit [/ laughed— albeit slightly bitterly] Just wanted to talk to Mom for a bit.

[/ Nodded, and gestured for her to walk along him as he started to walk ] Well, how ‘bout we get goin’, ‘Lena? ♥ ~

*When the knocking on the door starts, Gill is finishing up signing some very important papers* What in the—? *He calls out* I’ll be right-!! *When he sees that Luke has opened the door already, he’s a bit startled, which causes his hand to slip and the pen to leave an unattractive squiggle all over the signature line. He really couldn’t care less about the new chair he had ordered to be built now.* Luke! What are you doing!?

[ / pauses in his tracks, tilting his head ] Huh? What do you mean 'what am I doing?' Isn't it obvious? I'm here to help, duuuh....! [ / frowns ] Thought you were smarter than that, Gilly. 

[blackberrybroomsticks]

Who Do You Think You Are?! [Luke/Vivi]

[blackberrybroomsticks]

Did he just— oh no. In the rays of moonlight flooding over them, Vivi’s eyes glowed a bright, angry amber. Exhausted and absolutely upset, she grabs his axe again before he can swing it. However, she grips onto the sharp edge and pushes against the direction he’s swinging.

"YOU DON’T GET IT, DO YOU?” She hissed, loud and sternly. “I CAN’T SLEEP WITH YOU CHOPPING DOWN THESE DAMN TREES WITH YOUR DAMN AXE. DON’T YOU DARE TELL ME TO JUST GO INSIDE BECAUSE OF THE DAMN COLD DURING THE NIGHT.” 

The edge of the axe had caused a trail of blood to drip down from her pale hand and onto the forest floor. She kept her eyes on the boy, brows furrowed as she ignored the pain in her palm. Worse had happened to her before; much, much worse. This was hardly anything to her.

[lukeystxike]

  Whoa whoa whoa, this was getting kind of dangerous! As he saw that she had grabbed his axe against the sharp edge, he frowned. He had no intention of hurting her, really, but if she insisted... Luke let up the force enough to not penetrate her skin, but still held it in place. 

  Luke really didn't understand why she had to yell. Yelling never really solved anything, and especially with him. Luke didn't really like to argue, either, but this was a bit... His brows furrowed, and he tilted his head, "Huh," and everything clicked. "Aren't ya the Witch of the forest or something?" Right? Just as legend said? "Can't ya just throw up some spell to reduce the noise or something? I kinda need to do my thing, y'know."

  He still was incapable of really processing the situation. Sure, she lived in the woods but the woods weren't technically hers... right? He's been chopping here since he can remember, why was it such a big problem? "Dunno why you're so angry, lady. It's barely even night." 

[animallovergwen-blog]

Right? We might as well be strangers. *Bites her lips, keeping herself from saying lyrics to fit the situation*

*grimaces, rubbing her arm* You shit stain! *huffs, poking at his chest, her hand still on her arm* Listen, Mister. I’ll respect you when hell freezes over! I’m stronger than you anyway!

*raises an eyebrow* Swimming? … I… I guess we haven’t. Hmmm… I don’t know.

[lukeystxike]

[ / frowns! ] Well don't say it like that! You'll make me feel bad!! Sorry I get lost so easily!! It's not my fault you live so far from me! [ / pouts!! ]

[ / grimaces as she swears-- but doesn't comment on it because it's Gwen. His pout intensifies and he nudges her back ] Shuuuuut uupppp Gwennnn....!!!! You're so cocky and stuff-- no boy gon' like you like this!!! [ / shakes his head in disapproval ] 

[ / upon her response, he takes it like an agreement and lights up-- ] Heh...! [ / and takes her hand and starts to run ] That's a yes to me, Gwenster! SWIMMING WE GO!!!!

*laughing* No prob Luke. I couldn’t wait to see it completed.

Alright~! *hands him the bowl* There you go. Hope you like it. I’m curious, how long you’ve been working as a carpenter Luke? You’re pretty passionate doing your job.

[lukeystxike]

[ / it's as if his eyes sparkle and his drool dribbles upon receiving the bowl, accepting it with shaky hands, excited to eat!! It smelled really good too! ] Aaah! Thanks again, Pete! MMmmm, this smells, and LOOKS SO GOOD?! 

[ / he closes his eyes, recites a quick mental prayer and begins to shove food into his mouth ] Mmpphf--! [ / swallows, then continues ] Yeah!! Love my job! M' dad's a carpenter, ye see, grew up with it all, y'know? It's like-- a part of me, or something...! [ / nods, and continues to eat happily ]

What 'bout you, Petey? Why'd ya choose farmin'? It's wicked rad and stuff-- but??? [ / tilts his head ]

[miss-reneigh]

Yep!  [She nods, letting out a laugh as she does]  That’s all the ingredients we need… and mayonnaise is actually rather easy to make, yes.  You’ll be surprised. ♪

[Heads into the chicken coop and looks around, smiling as she sees all the birds walking around] We just need to grab an egg from one of these guys.  [She points at a small cluster of chickens] Those ones aren’t laying fertilized eggs at the moment, so one of them may be sitting on one we can use.  Go ahead and pick one up ~! 

[lukeystxike]

[ / nods, agreeing with what she said ] Yeah!! Who knew?! If only Dad trusted me a bit more, I'd make mayonnaise whenever I'd like!! How convenient that would be-- but he'd never... y'know... [ / laughs a bit bitterly, but shrugs ] 

[ / gets really excited upon entering the coop, and nods at her order, skipping towards to where she pointed and crouched down, pursing his lips as he thought ] Hmm... [ / and picked one up! ] Alright! What's next?

[lukeystxike]

[Rocks back and forth on her heels.] Hm-- I dunno about hunting her down exactly. I was kind of wondering more about whether or not you've actually caught glimpse of her or something. [Tilts her head.] I mean, you work in the woods, right? Another part of me wants to see for myself, because I like actual proof. --But I bet it's dark in there, and if she does exist, it's gonna be all spooky and stuff! [Pouts in distress.]

[ / nods! ] Sure have seen her, Lunie! Lady got mad at me for chopping trees— which isn’t cool, y’know? Since it’s my job and all that… She was… really weird… [ / trails off, seemingly still confused about the whole past encounter.] 

[ / lights up, and grins happily, nodding again ] Oooh~ ♪! So you haven’t seen Miss Witchy? She doesn’t really like coming out— er, I think.. [ / starts to laugh as she pouts, and starts rocks from side to side ]  But y’know, if I piss her off again she might come out!! [ / bursts into laughter ] 

Maybe we could come up with a WICKED PLAN to try and lure her out? Right, right? And y’know, it’s been a while since we last hung out, Lunie~ [ / nudges her softly in the arm, pouting ] I thought we were better friends, y’know?!

Who Do You Think You Are?! [Luke/Vivi]

...Not being able to sleep at all, she walked out of her hut in nothing but her nightgown. Finding the guy wasn’t hard, although she was quite exhausted when she did find him. Silver hair messily framed her pale face as she silently approached the man. When he swung back, she grabbed onto the ax and held onto it tightly. However, his strength overpowered hers and she got pulled along when he swung forward. Still holding onto the ax, she glared tired daggers at him.

"Just WHO do YOU think YOU ARE?!" She groaned, using one hand to rub tiredly at her eyes. "I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!"

[lukeystxike]

After being dragged out from the Brass Bar by Bo, his dad had forced an axe into his hands and pushed him out to the Forest to chop down some extra lumber they needed some job that he really didn't pay attention to. He was angrily chopping away--, he was supposed to be done for the day, right? Why did his dad seem so upset anyways? Why in such a rush too? Why couldn't this just wait til tomorrow? He would've done it, obviously (another lie, but Luke didn't even know for sure).

  "Ugh, this really sucks, yknow?! I'll show 'im, I'll chop down twice as many trees than what he wants!" Determined, swayed back-- and with a heavy swing cut a tree heavily with the blow. Repeated the action several times, the sound of the blade against bark ringing into the night. Suddenly, as he tried to swing once more, he felt a tug-- Well, that's weird, and tried to pull forward, seeing a hand grabbing onto it. 

  Widened eyes, blinking cluelessly. You're not supposed to get a lady while chopping wood now, are you? As she started yelling, Luke slowly nodded, not really processing her words. "Cool, I can see that, yer' still in your night dress an' everything. But ya' should get inside, though. Gets kinda cold at night." And with that, pulled his axe away from her hold and resumed with another heavy swing.

sticks and stones || kathy & luke

  After finishing the duties of the day (which included chopping down a truckload worth of lumber, bothering Bo, bothering his Dad, not actually really being productive), he was wandering aimlessly in search of... an adventure...! Where it could be, what it could entail was completely out of his thoughts, he was to take this journey blindly-- what other way was there? 

  But what was a journey without a partner? Owen had declined, saying that there were too many orders for him to handle today (what a bummer, he would be totally missing out), and he hadn't seen anyone else today. What was with Castanet? Was there some kind of festival he forgot? Or was someone throwing a party and forgot to invite him?! Aagh, with upset stomps, Luke really was upset-- why couldn't he--

  "A-Ah!!" And there, the perfect partner!! Kathy didn't... seem like she had anything really important to do-- and, yeah! She had the day off today right?! Perfect, yes yes yes! In a quick bolt, Luke went running towards the blonde, waving his arms and calling her name. "HEY KATH!! KATH!! WAIT UP A SEC, I NEEDA ASK YA' SOMETHING.... ER... KINDA REALLY IMPORTANT, NOT REALLY BUT JUST--" Okay not working, just get there first, Luke.

  As he was nearing her, he slowed down his pace-- panting softly, and burst out laughing. "Got 'nything on ya day today, Kath?"

[Grins proudly at his description of her and dusts off imaginary dust from her skirt.] The one and only♪! [Holds her hands behind her and tilts her head.] Say, do you remember those stories about the scary witch living in the forest from when we were kids?

[ / snickers at her reaction, nodding happily, goes up to come closer just to hear her properly ] What’s up~ ♪ ? 

[ / blinks, is confused at first— hums out loud in thought, brows furrowing. Suddenly, he clapped his hands together ] Yeah! ‘s when most of the adults were all like “NOT ALLOWED TO VISIT THE WOODS WITHOUT SUPERVISION” and blah blah blah, right? [ / laughs, scratching his neck sheepishly ] Mhmm, remember it quite well cause Owen n’ I used to wander in the woods tryin’ find ‘em. 

What about it? Ya tryin’ hunt her down or ‘mething? Count me in if y'are!!!

Oh that’s great! *takes a look at Luke’s progress then smiles seeing that the door’s design look better than the previous door* Not bad at all. If my grandpa was here, he’d love it ♥

*laughing* Yep, I do. Making risotto doesn’t take long. Need a break from working or you want to keep going? I wouldn’t mind either way Luke.

[lukeystxike]

[ / blinks, a bit startled at the positive comment-- but beams into a wide grin and nods happily ] Y-You think so?! That's wicked great-- means a lot, Petey! ♪ I'm glad my work was good! 

[ / at the mention of food, he pauses, biting his lip. ] Hmmm..... [ / laughs, and gets up, dusting off his hands on his jeans ] Eating first it is! Ya can't work on an empty stomach ♪ !

[animallovergwen-blog]

*raises an eyebrow at him, shrugging it off* Whatever. *huffs* What I mean more often! I swear, I feel like we’ve never hung out or done anything in… months!

I always bully you. That’s the point of our relationship. … Well, what do you want to do? I mean, we could always go for a walk? Or… something. Swimming maybe?

[lukeystxike]

[ / pouts, nodding in agreement ] Cause we haven't, silly! How can we call each other family when we barely see each other and do anything fun, boo! That's not good at all!

[ / at the mention of bullying, he frowns and punches her in the arm ] Hey, hey hey!!! THAT'S NOT COOL ... I'm older than you! [ / huffs, puffing out his chest, hands at his hips, attempting to make a statement ] Ya need to respect me, y'know?! And I ain't feeling that respect, Gwenners'. 

[ / then pauses suddenly, in thought... ] Ah! How bout we swim and make ourselves a lil competition! We haven't done something like that in a while!!

Oh you’re very welcome Luke. ♪  Follow me to the barn then, we don’t have any eggs left inside~.

[Laughs as Luke begins to walk backwards] We’ll only be making a small amount, so… [She counts the ingredients on her fingers as she speaks]  We need one egg, some olive oil, a lemon, a little bit of salt, and some water!  

[lukeystxike]

[ / nods, skipping backwards towards the barn, sure he knew where to walk, where to avoid as he did ] 

W-Whoa, that's it? That's not that much, huh? I would've never guessed it'd have so lil' in it? Is it an easy process though?? [ / laughs as he speaks, giddy and giggly. He turns around -- already facing the barn and nods again ] Well this'll be a breeze! Let's gooooo~ ♪ !

*tosses her hair over her shoulder* Of course there is. Jeez. If you paid more attention to your cousin, you would know. *stares at him* … What’s… that look for…? Are you thinking of something ridiculous again?

[lukeystxike]

[ / grins but shrugs, shaking it off ] Nah, forget 'bout it, nothing big 'nyways, heh! But hey hey hey, who said I didn't pay attention to my sweet lil cousin?!?! That's false accusation missy!
