[Phone.]

Somehow one of Granny Riddleton’s puzzle bottles found its way here. I wonder if she’ll notice it’s gone now?

I suppose I should solve the puzzle inside it though, if there is one I mean-

[Luke’s suddenly cut off by the sound of a faint thump, like someone hitting the ground. The phone remains silent for several seconds before Luke answers,

C!! SO LATE.

[ladysawsaw]

...

Goddamnit, kid. What are you even doing?

for shame

[bluecapboy]

[Luke is grumbling to himself as he pulls himself out from behind some trashcans. At this point, after all his "adventures", he's pretty filthy and has a nice-sized bruise on the side of his face. He does not look pleased at all.]

Not one hint coin, this hasn't happened before. Argh, why am I even looking for hint coins when I should be finding the Molentary Express. She can just stay here for all I care-

[Looks up, sees mamapapa.

Um, hello.]

~*fashionably late*~

[ladysawsaw]

The hell are you even doing down there? You look like an idiot, is what.

[bluecapboy]

[He brushes himself off.]

Never mind that. We need to find the Molentary Express back to London, should be around here somewhere. Seems like Folsense is a little bigger than I remember it...

[ladysawsaw]

[Just.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose.]

Okay, yeah. I don't know what the fuck you did, but you're coming home.

and going to work~

[bluecapboy]

[He is clearly sane. Clearly!]

Well of course we're going home! We just have to find that train first, is all! I tried asking that man over there, he said he's never seen a train pass through Folsense before.

[The man Luke's pointing to? A bicycle. 8D]

I might go ahead and do Giriko's post, then~

[ladysawsaw]

[Congrats, Luke. You're nuttier than Giriko.

Still, mamapapa's main concern, at this point, is to get this little idiot back home, where it's safe. Not gonna slack off anymore, no sir. As of such, he's just going to attempt to scoop Luke up to drag him back home.]

Yeah, whatever. This ain't what you think it is, kid. You're comin' with me.

Re: I might go ahead and do Giriko's post, then~

[bluecapboy]

[He doesn't seem bothered by being picked up except-]

Hey, where are we going? The Herzen castle's that way and there's vampires up there!

[ladysawsaw]

The hell has even gotten into you, kid? Ain't no goddamned castle anywhere in this shithole.

ignore my icon fail 8D

[bluecapboy]

Uh, it's right over there. It's pretty hard to miss.

[ladysawsaw]

...That's a fucking tree.

1/2

[bluecapboy]

Uh, I think I know the difference between a tree and a castle.

Anyway, I suppose it doesn't matter. Just wait until we reach London! I have all sorts of things to show you! Like Big Ben, or the Thames River. You haven't seen Thames yet, have you? It's incredible! And there's the zoo, and...

[He rambles on a while longer.]

2/2

[bluecapboy]

[And then gets kind of serious.]

...Oh, and mis- I mean, Roshia won't be joining us. It's fine, you know? We don't need her. I thought she'd be happy about going to London, but it turns out she changed her mind. But she's a grown-up, you know? That's what they do, they tell nothing but lies.

That's why you can't trust 'em.

[And then somewhat cheerfully!]

But you're not like those other grown-ups, right? You understand this kind of stuff.

[ladysawsaw]

[Goddamn it, what now?]

...Hn. And what do you mean by that?

this is the worst use of this icon

[bluecapboy]

[And he answers back cheerfully, without a hint of doubt.]

I mean what I said, grown-ups are liars. Like Roshia for example, and how she said she liked me as her son. Or the Professor, how he said he was going to take his home, and then he went home himself!

All lies, you see? Grown-ups tell you one thing, but really they mean another!

It's pretty simple, Mr. Giriko.

[ladysawsaw]

Tch. That's how it is.

Deep down, people are pitch black. That's the truth.
