[Luke is the busiest bee this week, and it shows. He has a lot of places to go, people to see, things to apologize for...

...In fact that's where he'll start. He'll pop in to where Kanaya works with a lot of embarrassment and a make-it-up-to-you present. It also gives him another chance to browse through the stuff in Mu's store and pick out a couple of things he thinks important people are going to like!

Then it's off to sulk in a corner of the coffee shop and hope Kon doesn't give him any grief about his black eye. He and his bratty cousin don't come to blows all that often anymore - Luke's an intern for the law and things like that shouldn't happen - but when it does, Vriska usually wins. He wishes it wouldn't happen so much. The girl ought to stop making fun of his sister!

Speaking of his sister. That's next on the list, after some quality time with a tea if he can get it - finding Xion and delivering to her a gift. Possibly receiving a lecture about the black eye. If Leaf or his uncle are hanging around, he'll be forced to submit to their interrogation too, won't he? Kidding! It doesn't feel like interrogation to talk to them most of the time. If Crazy Uncle Ichijou is around he will...do his best.

Then it's off to "work" for a couple of hours, though it's mostly filing papers and trying to keep his composure around Croix any time Terezi wanders into the building. The teasing would never stop. Never.

It's been a very long day by then, all right? So when he sits on a bench in the evening to fiddle around with his CAT...hey, he's still Luke no matter what, and what he types in is a short puzzle.]


What is it that is so very fragile that simply to say its name is to break it?

[[ooc: This is set on Wednesday because I am just that slow about life sometimes. So many names and places in here! Action me up, darlings~]]

[There's a terrible little snort followed by obnoxious laughter on the other end!]

Of course it is! You know how utterly amazing I am at solving puzzles - further proof that you don't need fancy degree upon fancy degree to be intelligent!

You seem a bit distracted, though, or did I startle you that much by shouting out a solution like that? I just had to be the first to answer!

[Don't you sass me, boy.]

A fair point argued like a true man of the law. The police department may as well put you on their payroll already.

Speaking of, have you heard any bizarre rumors about me lately, such as, I don't know, stories about me secretly having wings and running a massive underground criminal ring?

[Siiiiiigh.] I know. I really do wish that people would realize that I'm just like anyone else, only prettier. I just have no idea what I do that makes everyone come up with these strange stories about me! Is it because I'm too pretty?

Ah well, at least that story hasn't spread. I couldn't tell whether or not she was being serious about it.

Your friend Terezi. I already know how it started: I was complaining about someone tapping and scraping on my bedroom windows in the middle of the night and she said that it might be a secret admirer. I got excited and started using some flowery romantic language about angels and things and she sort of ran with it.

Well, that's where the part about wings came from. I have no idea why she insists that I'm a secret crime lord.

[Pssh! At least Crazy Uncle Ichijou could hide your silly bruises with makeup. Why won't you love him, Luke!?]

What? No, hunting has nothing to do with it. She was talking about me being an angel. I think it might have been a joke, but she did go through the effort to write a whole story about it.

I don't think I ever deleted it, let's see if I can find that...

Here it is.

[He sends Luke a peculiar document.]

Nobody likes criminals, Luke.

I am really curious about why she so strongly believes that, though. She's always stopping by my house and saying that I've been accused of suspicious activities, then she looks through all of my stuff and leaves.

Every time I ask she says that it's because I smell like a criminal, but she says that no matter what kind of perfumes or oils I use. What does a criminal even smell like, anyway?

That's a terrible idea! It'll make it look like I'm hiding something!
