[Considering all of the weird costumes that people have been wearing so far this week, a half-naked boy is almost blessedly normal. Almost.
Pao-lin nearly drops the cookie she's eating when she notices Luke walking into the bakery in close-to-nude as though it's the most normal thing in the world. Her face flushes a bit, and she's inclined to ignore him, because she's seen that it's difficult if not impossible for people to break out of whatever odd delusions or aesthetic additions they have as a result of this experiment.
But. This seems...kind of going too far.
So, with an ever-darkening flush on her face, Pao-lin will shuffle up beside him and tap him on the shoulder.]
[Luke is just checking out what the bakery has on display, wondering which Xion or Asch might like, when he feels that tap on his shoulder.
Man, this outfit is super thin. Not only has he been kind of cold while walking over, but he felt that poke on his shoulder as if it was skin against skin. Impressive, but kind of annoying.
At least they looked good.
Luke turns his head to looks back at who's talking to him, though he doesn't recognize her. Still, he straightens up slightly to talk to her easier, as it's the proper thing to do.]
Yeah? ... Oh, do you like these things too? [He gestures to pastries he was eying, which are rather scrumptious looking strawberry cupcakes.]
[Those strawberry cupcakes do look pretty good, if also a bit girly for Pao-lin's tastes. (So many little flowers on the icing, whut.) But that's not what's important at the moment.]
Um, I've never tried those before...b-but that's not what I was gonna talk to you about! It's just that...that... [Deep breath, small voice.] You're not wearing any clothes, you know?
[Nonsense, those little flowers just add to the taste! But once Luke hears that, he stares blankly for a second, and he looks down...
And sees just what he's wearing. Just briefs. And he blushes and reaches up to rub at the back of his head -
Until he blinks and sees the clothes of royalty once more. He shuts his eyes and shakes his head, then gives her a curious look.]
What are you talking about? Of course I'm wearing clothes! See? [He seems to pull at something near his chest.] It's kind of tight, but... That doesn't mean I'm not wearing anything.

[Hopefully Sabin won't mind Luke sidestepping with a slight scratch at his cheek once he realizes how close he is. He values his personal space and all. But once he registers what he said...]
Bold...? Undergarments? I'm not...
[For a brief second he can see what he's really wearing. His eyes widen for a second... before he sees the "real" clothes again, and he lets out a small sigh.]
I'm wearing clothes over that, can't you see them?

[Considering that Sabin has been known to wander around in that exact same state of undress when at home, he can't really hold it against Luke. He merely shrugs his shoulders.]

[That's... weird. Why can't this other guy see his clothes? They're fancy, almost like what his parents would wear... He tugs at the front of his neck, as if he's pulling his collar, as he glances away.]
[Whereas Nami is wandering around decked out in a stylish Sanji-style suit and pauses to stare. And then sit down at a bench in the plaza and drum her fingers on the back of it before she decides she may as well say something.]
[Just when he almost reached the bakery, too. Luke looks back at that face, and he can't help smiling as he abandons his quest for the moment to go talk to her. His smile does seem a little confused, as her question sinks in.]
Mugged? Why do you say that? [Because to him he looks like a rich noble.]
[Luke raises an eyebrow of his own... and pats at his chest, then looks down. For a moment he does see what Nami is seeing, and that moment makes him raise both eyebrows and blush slightly... only to see the clothes again.
With that, he pulls on the front of the outfit with a frown and looks up at Nami again.]
[And that pretty much makes Luke stop in his tracks, even take a nonthreatening step backward. Whoa, what happened here? What did he do? He was only going towards him...]
[Thankfully unaffected at the moment, is heading towards the main plaza when she spots the trademark red hair. Wait a second, was that... neighbor from downstairs who is also kind of my friend, y u do dis?]
[Lindsay, meanwhile, turns more and more scarlet as Luke gets closer. Oh dear god why there is a guy next her in his underwear and they're walking around outside and he's in his underwear and he's acting like nothing is wrong with this at all and he's in his underwear. She pointedly does her best of looking in almost any direction other than at Luke]
Um... I guess...? [Long. Awkward. Beat.] So, uh... kind of cold out here, isn't it?
[WHY ARE YOU WEARING NOTHING BUT YOUR UNDERWEAR!?]
[... Huh. She's blushing? Weird. Well, whatever. Now that she brings that up, he can't help rubbing at his arm as he looks out across the autumn trees.]
Yeah, it is... A lot colder than it has been. [He pulls on his "collar" with a slight frown.] This thing doesn't really keep you warm. [It must be thin material or something. Definitely not useful.]

Do you always go walking about the village in your undergarments? It's quite the... bold statement of you.

Bold...? Undergarments? I'm not...

That's weird... I can see them just fine.

You're not wearing a whole lot. [If you were a princess, she'd have given you her coat already.]

I think I'm wearing too much. It's too tight...

No, seriously. Because it appears to be his almost-naked replica and that's just... not... right...]

Luke notices him just standing there staring, and he appears undeterred by the look on his face. Instead, he grins and runs on over.]
Hey, Asch! You're going to the bakery too?

Asch gawks at him for an extended moment, then grits his teeth and takes a rather threatening step forward.]
What the hell do you think you're doing, replica!?

Wha... What are you talking about, I was just...
