Characters: Luke, whomever wants to stumble into his hissy fit
Setting: Cafeteria
Format: Either, be consistent, ect
Summary: Luke's stomach does the talking for him. Can you say, "Worst person to be in a black out with"?
Warnings: Cue full on Ambassador Asshat mode!

So, if you happen to be in the vicinity of the Cafeteria, hoping there was some scrap of food that might have been left over from before the power out, you might see a certain red head. Actually, you'll hear him before you see him; he's at the area where you pick up your food, pounding his fists and trying to get someone's attention. Except, you know, there's no one there to give him the time of day, which only makes his temper tantrum worse.

"OY! I'M HERE ON TIME! GIVE ME MY FOOD! GIMME MY FOOD RIGHT NOW!"

He follows his screaming up with a sharp kick... which turns into a swearing stream as he hops around, holding his injured foot. Definitely not the most impressive moment for the almighty Ambassador.

While he had been, admittedly, hoping for something to eat that doesn't involve cracking open a ration pack, Zack arrives just in time to hear the yelling and flinch in sympathy at that kick, rubbing the back of his neck as he peers at the redhead from near the stairs.

"You sure you wanna be doing that right now? Breakin' your foot's just gonna make things worse for you."

Granted, this situation probably can't get much worse. The power is out, there's no sign of anyone around but off-worlders, and now there doesn't appear to be food, either. A broken toe or two may end up being the least of their concerns come nightfall.

[sacred_flamer]

Luke stopped his hopping so he was facing Zack, somehow keeping himself balanced on one foot while still holding the other one. This was quite an accomplishment, considering...

"But I want my food! What else am I supposed to do?!"

[pauldrons]

Quite an accomplishment, and if things weren't so dark and grim-appearing, Zack may have actually been impressed. As it is, he shrugs and walks past Luke, heading into the kitchen to look around. He opens cabinets as he speaks, somehow the very picture of calm.

"Not sure. But breaking your foot and screaming isn't gonna make it pop up in front you. Especially if..." He trails off, coming back into sight with his hands on his hips.

"There's nobody here. Just like every other floor."

[sacred_flamer]

"But where are they?" Luke asked, finally setting his foot down on the floor. Considering he put his weight on it despite his "injury," it seemed like he didn't actually do any harm to himself. "What kind of person runs this place that just lets their employees do whatever they want?"

[kickspenguins]

The screaming was what brought him into the cafeteria in the first place. He walked in just in time to see the red haired boy kick the counter. For a moment, Sakuma just stared dumbly at the display. Was this guy for real?

"I don't think any of that is going to help you in any way." If his happened to sound a little condescending, don't worry. That was just the way Sakuma was.

[sacred_flamer]

Luke turned around, stamping his "injured" foot against the ground without a second thought.

"Well something has to work!"

[kickspenguins]

Sakuma raised an eyebrow at him. "'Something' including kicking inanimate objects?"

Okay, fine he was pretty annoyed with the tower being out of tower too so maybe he can't blame the guy. He still didn't think he was going about it the right way but acting surly was as much help as kicking a counter. "That looked like it hurt though; are you okay?"

[sacred_flamer]

"Hm?"

Oh. Right. His foot. He glanced down at it, gingerly shifting his weight as if he just remembered that was supposed to hurt.

"Well of course it hurts! I kicked the counter!"

[riflesandtea]

Mami had already been alerted by the screaming, so she basically heads into the cafeteria to help and, well, kind of sees someone kick a table in a blackout...

"Ah-- are you all right--?" Stupid question, but it would probably be less advisable to ask him to calm down, since he didn't seem like he would be doing so any time soon.

[sacred_flamer]

Luke hopped around, or at least attempted to. He failed miserably, and gravity was soon to take over, depositing him on the ground. Cue the flailing hissy fit.

"NO I AM NO ALL RIGHT!!!"

[xthearaneae]

It wasn't as if he needed food. Far from the truth, really. He didn't need to eat. However, he was rather curious as to the state of affairs in the Tower. The fact the power went out called his attention. Clearly, this wasn't normal. But then he had heard that there was no food that remained in the Cafeteria. Naturally, he went to go look.

But then, Luke called his attention. Noise never did well with him either. Not even the fact that he was in his natural darkness was enough for him to ignore the ruckus. A moment later found him crossing the room and placing a hand on Luke's shoulder juust to still him. "Such a reaction most certainly assures the fact no one will tend to you." he finally said.

[sacred_flamer]

Considering Luke was hopping around, and not really paying attention to anything behind him, the sudden hand on his shoulder was a bit of a surprise. He froze solid, eyes going wide, before he jumped half a foot in the air, screaming.

Once he was back on ground (with both feet, mind you), he whirled on the man that had touched him, pointing a dramatic finger at him.

"DON'T DO THAT!!!"

[xthearaneae]

The over dramatic reaction does nothing to faze him. After all, when you tend to a master who has his moments of dramatics in turn, you slowly learn that nothing surprises you anymore. So Claude's still just standing there, calm as you please and maybe a little grateful that Luke had halted his show. Maybe now he could get some peace and quiet. But of course, as a butler, one had to remain proper and dignified and polite as always. He gives the smallest bow from the waist, his hand on his chest as he speaks up.

"My apologies. I meant no cause for alarm."

[tsunball]

Second redheaded temper tantrum coming in right here. Leon was just trying to look for some food left anywhere as well - seriously, they couldn't just have cut off all of it, right? He only just arrived a little while ago and if this sort of thing was normal, someone would've told him! So surely there was some part of this place where there was still food, but.. looks like he has no luck once he enters the cafeteria considering there's already another guy yelling about food.

It manages to make Leon's expression slightly panicked, and he quickly rushes over to the other redhead, although he doesn't seem particularly worried about the other's pain. "Shit.. you aren't saying there really isn't any food left here, are you?!" Best question to ask a guy hopping around in pain. Empathy skills are once again top-notch (except not).

[sacred_flamer]

Luke dropped his foot (which was obviously just fine), whirling around on the other redhead.

"Of course that's what I'm saying! Isn't that obvious?"

[tsunball]

Well, it really was pretty obvious. It was more just that Leon was still trying to make himself think this wasn't an awfully bad and dangerous situation without food.. But at this even he can't delude himself about it any further. He stared at the area where they usually handed out the food as well, but.. there really was nothing.

"But how can this even be?! They can't just do this shit to us, we'll die if we don't eat! They should at least give us three meals a day, right?!"

[justabignobody]

Riku is actually doing quite at ignoring that temper tantrum as he comes down to inspect just what the tower is providing them with this month. And raises an eyebrow upon realizing that everything is closed down.

"That's a new one."

[sacred_flamer]

Luke paused when he heard the voice, having not heard the blind kid when he came in. It took him a moment to realize that this wasn't the same blind kid he had first met, but that still didn't prevent him from whining.

"How the heck can you even tell the power's out?"

[justabignobody]

He turns his head towards Luke upon realizing that he's being talked to, looking maybe ever so slightly amused.

"You mean, apart from your almost memorable show of voice?"

[keybearer]

[...Yeah, it's hard not to miss Riku's obnoxious shouting. Just hearing it makes Riku slap his palm over his face and let out a groan.

Once he stumbles across Luke, he props his free hand against his hip and raises a brow. His other hand's clutched tightly around his Keyblade, which is currently glowing at the tip.]

... Yeah, that's gonna work.

[sacred_flamer]

[Luke glared at the kid over his shoulder.]

Who asked you?

[...and then did a double take when he saw the kid's weapon.]

Oy! You have a light!

[keybearer]

You mean this?

[He raises his Keyblade and smirks.]

Let's just say magic has its perks.

[selenic]

Yes, that was definitely loud enough for Estelle to hear, and so she hesitates on the landing and peeks into the cafeteria. Of course, any injured person is enough to get her to rush right over, even if Luke does sound like a kid throwing a temper tantrum.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

[sacred_flamer]

Luke growled irritably, dropping his foot and settling for flailing.

"DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M ALRIGHT?!"

[selenic]

She flinches slightly, just because he's so loud, and then approaches cautiously. "Your foot is hurt, isn't it? Would you like me to heal you?" Really, it can't be a terrible injury, but that's never stopped Estelle before.
