[OPEN] Luke and Small Cuddly Things Don't Mix

[sacred_flamer]

Characters: Luke, his new pet, AND YOU.
Setting: His dorm room, the hallway just beyond, and where ever you want to go after that.
Format: Whichever you want.
Summary: Luke has serious thoughts after what he went through last month. Of course something small and fuzzy had to interrupt him.
Warnings: ...Luke is probably going to stomp on it a few times; good thing cheagles are pretty resilient?

Luke had had way too much on his mind since he arrived back in the Tower. He wasn't used to being like this, so deep in thought that sometimes he stumbled over people. Heck, he was so out of it, he even muttered an apology to someone once! With that, and thanking Yu for the little paper crane, he really didn't feel like himself anymore.

He sighed as he flopped in front of his little trunk. Maybe that was a good thing? Going through all that had at least made him realize what an ass he was... still is, a little... kinda. Ugh; he flopped forward, banging his head on the trunk. He hated to say it, but things were a lot easier when he was confined to the man--

Luke stopped that thought cold; something inside the trunk thumped back when he hit his head. His eyes went wide; had a monster snuck inside while he was away? Curious, and wondering if he was just hearing things, he knocked a fist against the top of the trunk... only to receive a knock back. Okay, something was definitely in there!

On edge, Luke reached back, wrapping a hand around the hilt of his sword, before slowly opening the lid...

He caught sight of something pink before it was suddenly on his face, sending him tumbling away from his trunk and half out into the hallway beyond his room. Just because he was prepared for an attack, didn't mean he wasn't caught off guard...

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! GET IT OFF! GET IT OOOOOOOOOOOOFF!!!"

...and it didn't mean he wasn't going to make sure the whole Tower heard him.

I hope this is okay

[Well he was just wandering by Luke's room, minding his own buisness when...a loud shriek had come from the inside. What was going on? Something sounded like it was attacking someone on the inside. Well! Time to jump into action. Opening the door he see's a red haired teenager with...SOMETHING...on his face. He can't tell what it is but it's latched to him.]

AH! HOLD ON!

[Running over he grabs whatever is on Luke's face and is attempting to pull it right off.]

Yep!

[sacred_flamer]

[The thing was almost teddy bear-like, with big floppy ears. It flailed when Cross pulled it off, trying to get back to Luke.]

Mieu! Mieu mieumieuuuu!

[Luke froze at that, cracking an eye open.]

...Mieu?

[But no, it wasn't Mieu, that much was obvious. It was pink for one, and it didn't have the Sorcerer's Ring, so it couldn't talk.]

yay thanks

[hero_of_smiles]

[Cross tilts his head slightly looking at the strange stuffed animal type creature.]

Well hey there little guy~ or uh girl. Watcha doing latching onto Mr.long hair's face? I think you scared him.

[Cross will look up to Luke tilting his head. He still has a firm grip on the creature, but not enough to do any harm.]

You know this little creature?

[sacred_flamer]

Well... not it specifically, but I know what it is.

[Luke reached his hands up so Cross could drop the little... whichever it was. He? She? Mieu was a boy, but sounded like a girl... for all he knew this cheagle could be male too.]

[hero_of_smiles]

[Cross will place the little creature on the ground and curiously look up at Luke.]

So how come you were screaming? It wasn't going to hurt you...I think it was actually trying to hug you.

And what is it exactly? It looks like a stuffed animal.

Hei had been wandering the halls of the tower, taking in more of it so he could learn about it. If he did that, he could know this place far easier, maybe figure out some escape ideas. Or maybe just run into someone he knew of. Also to help him calm down, more so than before. As it stood, thoughts of stabbing those scientists remained fresh in his mind.

Then he ran into Luke running down the hallway. That was a voice he could not forget. At any rate, Hei stood before him, catching him and pushing him against the wall, rather harshly a bit too. A hand goes onto the creature, trying to pull it off.

"Hold still, and shut up."

[sacred_flamer]

Luke let out a faint squeak as his back hit the wall, completely freezing up at the voice. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't be sure... and with what happened last month... He started trembling like a leaf as the creature was pried off his face, afraid to even open his eyes.

The little pink cheagle struggled to get out of Hei's grasp, letting out little alarmed noises as it tried to reach back for Luke.

[fusedstars]

Hei raised an eyebrow at the creature, turning around in his palm as he examined it. Still, he kept a firm grip, soon using two hands to contain it easier. He stared more intensely at the creature, actually curious as to what it was.

"Is this thing supposed to be a threat?" he asked Luke.

[sacred_flamer]

The creature didn't seem to like that. In fact, it really didn't like that, and belched out a little plume of fire right in Hei's face.

...unfortunately, that's when Luke decided to crack an eye open to see what Hei was talking about. Oh dear sweet Lorelei, this was not going to end well...

[fusedstars]

Hei thankfully saw it coming, bending backwards to dodge the fire. Some of shirt however had been burned, and he winced. Eyes quickly shined, a tint of red shining through as a blue area surrounded him. Were it not for Hei patting the flames on his chest, burning away some of his shirt, he would have shocked the creature by now.

Speaking of which, Luke, you may wish to hurry on stopping him.

[Bomberman almost does a double-take when he sees a panicked Luke running down the hall towards with a floppy-eared pink thing attached to his face. Pommy?! is his first thought, especially what with the thing mewling like it is, but no, this pink thing actually has a body separate from its head. He's relieved -- Pommy was a pain to deal with in the black hole, and he can't imagine the mimic would be in any better condition here.

But okay, time to get his hero on. Bomberman runs over to Luke.]

Hold still, I'll try to get it off! [He grabs the back of the creature's body and yanks as hard as he can.]

[sacred_flamer]

MIEEEEU!

[The critter came off easily enough, though it protested loudly against the manhandling. Luke fumbled backward, thumping loudly against the opposite wall.]

[kungfubomber]

[Bomberman blinks confusedly at the cheagle dangling from his hand. Is this thing really dangerous...? He turns his attention to Luke for a moment, assessing the boy's potential injuries.]

Are you okay?

[sacred_flamer]

[Not really, no.]

[Luke grumbled as he sat up, holding his head.]

Gah... what the hell...

[kungfubomber]

Do you need me to get help or something? And, uh...what should I do with this thing? [Shaking the cheagle slightly.]

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro is just passing by when he hears the scream and his first instinct is to run! However, since he's decided to become stronger, he can't just run away whether there's danger or trouble, he has to face whatever it is!

So gulping down his fear, he opens the door and runs in to help.]

D-Don't worry! S-Stay still! I'll pull it off!!

[sacred_flamer]

[There wasn't much to be afraid of; there was just a cute pink creature hugging Luke's face. Really, it was kind of adorable if you ignored the fact that he was freaking out over it.]

[cutestprogrammer]

... [he stares at the cute pink creature for a moment... why would anyone be afraid of that?] Please stay still. It's not a monster! It's just a... [what is that? a toy?]

[sacred_flamer]

JUST A WHAT?!

[Sorry, too freaked out to care!]

[cutestprogrammer]

... it... looks like a toy? It's pink.

[keybearer]

[It's hard to ignore loud yelling, especially when you're passing through the hall. While Riku had intended to go check out one of the other floors, just hearing Luke shriek was enough to deter him for the time being. Shaking his head and heaving a sigh, Riku wanders towards the source of the sound, nudging the door open.

And then he stops, staring at the sight before him.

A little pink creature latched onto Luke's face. That's what the fuss was all about? That thing doesn't even look dangerous, unless it's got a set of razor sharp teeth that Riku's just not seeing. ]

You need a hand?

[Because, obviously, he's not getting anywhere on his own.]

[sacred_flamer]

[No, Riku; it really isn't that threatening. It just has the power of cuteness and cuddles.]

JUST GET IT OFF!!!

[keybearer]

Maybe it'd help if you held still.

[But, sigh, he'll go ahead and approach and make an attempt to grab at the creature. ...whatever it is.]

[sacred_flamer]

...mieumieu?

[The critter let out a curious noise as Riku pried it off, danging from his hand, almost like it was pouting at him. Luke shot upright at that, letting out a relieved breath.]

[keybearer]

[Well, that wasn't so hard. Riku takes a brief moment to look over the cheagle before he carefully sets it down on the ground.]

Sheesh. You made it seem like it was gonna eat your face off.
