[IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECOVER FROM FIRST-TIME INTER-SPECIES MEETING AWKWARDNESS... Luke is at least willing to try!!! Luke switches to his normal outfit (minus camera) as soon as they get access to their stuff, and then there are NPCs, and then... well. HERE THEY ARE.]
Hey--Sidon, right? [He found the profiles pretty easily, which is a whole other can of worms he doesn't want to get into...]
[ if it helps, sidon greets him without any awkwardness? sometimes a guy thinks you're a little person in a fish suit and touches your tail. it's kind of funny.
sidon is better dressed now, by which i mean he has a cravat and some silver accessories. it's an upgrade from nothing at all. ]
[SWEET SIDON THIS IS WHY THE ENTIRE INTERNET IS IN LOVE WITH YOUUUU Luke will definitely keep his hands to himself now, though. Tragique.]
Right, that's me. [Just a lil guy with the most normie of names.] It really does seem like we're from completely different places... I've never heard of Hyrule.
[HEWWO SIDON!! Where is our extremely tall prince on this fine day...
Wherever he is, he can find Luke sitting on the floor with his legs crossed, listening to some music on the I.R.I.S.! He is courteous enough to be using headphones, though he smiles in greeting and takes one out when he sees Sidon.]
[ pixi why didn't you tell me i missed this notif when i asked you for a thread i am going to throw myself off a cliff
they are now in the observation deck, because that's a place that makes sense to be sitting and milling about! the space is quiet and peaceful, though that's interrupted somewhat by his emotions, which are a spark, bright and jovial at the sight of him. ]
Luke! I'm well— [ though, immediately distracted ] —what is it you're doing?
[ he's out looking over their COLD ICE BEACH???????? maybe he can freeze to death again. he's deep enough in thought that he's very still, but does flick his attention over when he hears that he has company. ]
[The beach!! Luke is also coming here, hilariously, so it's not even much of a stretch for them to run into each other. He approaches, though he stands a little bit away.]
Are you doing okay? That must've been rough to watch.
[I'm sorry but the second Luke realizes what this week is he's going to bolt SO FOR NOW SWEET SIDON JUST GETS TO BE LOST AND CONFUSED. One minute he's wandering around this horrible maze of labs, the next, he's in a void--and then, very abruptly, he's experiencing the memories of a little boy.
((ooc; THIS GOT LONG so I divided it into parts, you can just do the bit before the dashes if you don't want to slog through both!!))]
[ he doesn't love barging in on people's privacy, but the helly belly isn't exactly an infinite sprawl and the rifts are conveniently everywhere.
and then he gets to experience life as a sad, human boy for a moment.
though... while there is an unspoken tragedy, a tremendous loss that clearly preceded this, it isn't all loneliness. There is something—someone—very wonderful present, too. ]
[HELLO SWEET SIDON... WHERE IS OUR FISHMAN. Is he depressed... is he pensive... Luke is wandering around checking on people, so he will find him eventually!!! WHAT ARE THE VIBES, WHERE HE BE.]
[ ME MISSING THIS ENTIRELY AHHHH ignore however many of the 100 tags i'm sending you rn pixi
but he'll be pulling himself out of the sleepytime beach water, looking chilled but not quite tired after going swimming for a while. his vibes are... serious. ]
RNG says they are at Bar Lab!!! Very funny for these two. Luke does early morning rounds to check on all their new locations when he gets up (hence the Heart Thing), but he really only made sure nothing was super dangerous in here before he moved on, so he will take this opportunity to explore more closely. He's wearing a thicker jacket than normal over his clothes today in an attempt to hide the insane amount of rust on his body, but it is not very successful.]
[ THE HEART THING!!! luke when will this game stop kicking your ass for your dutiful curiosity. ]
There really is a theme going...
[ their LABS. anyway it's hilarious how greased and rusting they all are, because they all died in some horrific way and have almost all been on cyoa. sidon's damage seems mostly concentrated on his upper body, at least. ]
Do you suppose this place is catering to our needs? Our apparent need for a very strong drink? [ SO MANY BARS ]
[ SEVERAL HOURS LATER...... he is over in one of the cavern pools. the light here isn't the best, but he's still visible due to a number of glowing spots on him.
he'll stop skulking about like a sea beast long enough to see luke, though. all healed besides the rust. ]
[AAAAA I KNOW WHAT THOSE SPOTS ARE SIDON YOUR FUCKING LUCIEN EYES!!!!!!!!!
But Luke will definitely come check on him after he's done fussing wildly over Margaret; he knows he's technically healed, but he looks over him anyway, as if he won't believe it until he sees for himself. His gaze lingers on those spots, but he manages to keep the frown off his face.]
Hey, Sidon. [He holds out a cup!! It's a hot drink from Epc*t.] I wasn't sure what you'd like.
[ who has two thumbs and has forgotten to do planetside pcs for like 4 weeks? it's me. but since acquada is of obvious interest to him, here he is. you're legally obliged to show me luke's swimsuit. ]
[IT'S FINE THIS IS THE ONLY PLANET THAT MATTERS. I have no good swimsuit art but he can be in this, minus the vest unless they decide to go on a boat.]
It's pretty cool! I've never seen anywhere like it. [THEY DO NOT HAVE THESE THINGS ON EARTH well maybe they kinda do but not anywhere he's been.]
Well one of the rats was ~triggering~ so he coughed up a bunch of trauma petals and then dipped after clinging to Sidon and crying for help, which is probably one of the most confusing things he's ever done in this graveyard. GOOD WORK TEAM.
Whenever Sidon leaves the... rat chaos... he can find Luke tucked away somewhere, breathing shakily and uselessly wiping at his eyes, countless petals on the floor around him.]
[YOU TRIED TO BE HELPFUL AND IT REALLY EXPLODED EVERYONE FOR REAL
But affection week will kick in enough for him to return the hug!! Sidon hugs best hugs, even if he is so tall that it's probably kind of hysterical to give them]
[ sidon is hanging out at the observation deck with a bunch of fuckin. crystal rats probably. ]
Come, have a drink with me! [ he actually didn't have much of anything at the party, but it'd be nice to share some snacks and drinkies with friends the last night. ]
