Feeling like he did a good job on the Whac a Mole, Aster took Adam’s advice and took himself on a wander around the carnival. He still felt slightly overwhelmed, there was a lot happening, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t appreciate it all or marvel at the spectacle. Seeing the shadow at his feet, he look up to see the Ferris Wheel rising above him, he always forgot how big they were in person, as he was so used to only seeing them from far away. He wondered if he should ride it, or if it was weird to do that by yourself, when he thought he heard his name. Which was impossible, cause he’d only introduced himself to like five people and none of them would be calling out to him. Then he turned his head, and if it wasn’t for the rate he propelled himself forward his legs would have buckled from under him. “Luke,” he stood in front of him, scared that he wasn’t real, “Luke you’re alive.”

Words were stuck in his throat, body frozen in place. It was... a miracle. Either that, or he was dreaming. Or someone was playing a cruel trick on him. But for this one time, he wanted to believe he was there. For real, this time. “Could say the same about you.” The words left his lips in a small voice, shaky. He never thought he would see him again, or at least, not alive. Not after he saw sentinels right outside of their house. But the longer he stared at him, the longer it became evident to Luke that he was real, and not a hallucination. Still, just to be sure, he managed to move his body to do the only thing he could think of doing, and pulled his brother into a hug.

“Both,” Thea grinned, picking up a ball and tossing it back and forth in her hands. “Definitely both. But the real question is how many times am I allowed to dunk you before I get kicked out?” 

An eyebrow quickly raised at her words. “Oh, really? Then how many times do you have to dunk me before I can precisely know why else you’re here? Although I find dunking me in this much is quite cruel, this water is freezing.”

          “well, damn.” after what had seemed like a billion throws, seth’s luck with the skeeball game had just seemed to have gotten worse. it would be easy to cheat, of course, and use his fancy mutation to sling the ball into the hole, but… that would just prove that he didn’t have any skill to speak of. “i swear they’ve rigged this damn thing an’ made it so y’can’t win. damn thing’s impossible t’get in there.”

A small laugh escaped his lips at the other’s words. “Please, don’t tell me you’re giving up already?” He teased, playful smirk on his lips. It was quite fun to see all those people try, and failing, although the hole was indeed quite small. “Then how would you explain I was drenched just a little while earlier? Because I didn’t purposefully jumped in there.”

stellacadwell:

Stella walked up to the dunk tank and giggled when she saw the Luke was running it. “I didn’t picture you as someone who would like this type of stuff.” She said. “Having fun?” 

@hervcles

Luke raised an eyebrow at Stella, playful grin playing on his lips. “Really? But I’m intrigued as to why you didn’t see me as this type of person? Because this is definitely a lot of fun.”

[hervcles]

Mechanical bull. Now, that’s something Luke never even thought about trying. Those things weren’t really his type of attractions. But when he saw who was operating it, he could only make his way over, until he standing beside her, eyes on the person attempting to stay on the bull. “So, what do I win if I don’t fall off this thing?” As he finished, he turned his head to look at her, a smile lingering.

noxvision:

Thea walked around the carnival feeling very out of place. Adrien had managed to convince her to go and even though she’d tried every excuse in the book to avoid it, here she was. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the dunk tank and smirked slightly when she saw who was in it. “Now this is something I can get behind,” she called to Luke with a chuckle.

Being at the dunk tank, honestly, could not be boring. Seriously, it was quite a funny game, and getting dunked wasn’t all that bad. Still, Luke’s smile grew a little bigger when he heard her. “I’m not sure you’re here to dunk me in, or because you have ulterior motives.” He joked.

[hervcles]

With Kiara taking over at the dunk tank, Luke was free to wander the carnival for some time before going back. It was good he had some time to enjoy the event, since it was the first time the Underground held such an event, to his knowledge. And for sure, he was not going to miss it. But he’d barely just made it past a few stands that a familiar figure appeared in his sight. He could be dreaming, that wouldn’t be the first time. But Luke just had to be sure whether it was or wasn’t him. So he started walking faster, trying to not push anyone too hard, although still making sure they’d let him pass. He was barely paying attention to his surroundings now, the whole carnival seemingly futile. Because as he got closer, it just seemed clearer that he wasn’t dreaming. “Aster?” The name left his mouth before he could even think, or announce himself. “How... are you here?”

noxvision:

“I didn’t say whether I did or didn’t, I asked why you wouldn’t.”

“Actually, I can’t think of a reason why I wouldn’t. Is that any better?”

voodoomastvr:

It was almost the end of the day and Caspar felt like all he had been doing was just sitting around, actually that was what he had been doing. He was trying to figure out if he could control his power more without the dolls so he had been reading in an old book practically all day. Closing the book, he tossed it on his bed and made his way out of the room. He knew exactly who would be up to hanging out and he was also someone who wasn’t hard to find even in a huge group of mutants. As he saw Luke, he came up, clapping his hand against his friends back before standing in front of him. “Dude, I am actually dying of boredom here. You up to doing something?”

@hervcles​

After he was done eating and cleaning what he used, Luke had made his way to what was used as a sort of common room. He wasn’t tired enough yet to go straight to bed, and thought mixing with someone other mutants could be distracting for a while. And, well, it was, but it also wasn’t particularly thrilling or exciting. So the clap on his back almost came as a blessing, as he turned to look at Caspar. “You should know I’m always up to do something. What exactly did you have in mind?”

themagnificentfinleyfenton:

Finley was so ready to get off the crutches he had been forced to use, but he knew that that day wasn’t coming any time soon, not if his leg didn’t heal faster than it was. So, he just did anything he could to get his mind off of it. Today, it was going to see his friend who he hadn’t seen in what felt like forever, even if it had just been a few days. Or longer. Gosh, he was losing track of the days now. Seeing him over at the tab;e. he made his way over, smiling as he spoke up. He took a seat across from him, leaning the crutches up against the table and then turning to him. “Eh, just a broken leg. That’s fine though. I had a few people stop by, so I wasn’t too lonely in there.”

The smile only his lips quickly changed into a grin. It was good to see he was doing better, apparently really well, even. “But that broken leg still got you stuck in a bed for some time.” Not to mention, crutches seemed to be quite the inconvenience, and Luke considered himself lucky he never had to use them. “Good, I was scared you got lonely and thought I had forgotten you. But tell me, did anyone special paid you a visit?”

thelastmythbender:

When Luke actually agreed to go at the end, she raised her eyebrows before a smile came onto her lips. “Of course, I promise. I’m not always a trouble maker, Luke. We can even walk or hail a taxi if that makes you feel better, but we might wanna get a few miles away from here if we do that.” She’d much rather get a car and go anywhere else and not deal with other people outside of the compound, but sometimes that was unavoidable. Though, it was going to take a lot of work to actually keep the promise she had just given him, if she were to get caught up in something, she probably wouldn’t leave.

His lips cracked into a small grin as she spoke. Somehow, he felt like this was going to be an interesting little trip. And would certainly help to break from his routine in the underground. “Well, this is going to be the perfect time to prove this to me.” Considering they were already planning on sneaking out, that seemed almost too hard to prove. But he liked being surprised. “So, what do you even do when you go out? Just walk around, trying to avoid Sentinels?”

xxviindictive:

Lost in her thoughts and unfocused, Cassandra stared aimlessly at the void space in front of her. Evidently enough, she was not entirely there. She was currently eating a bowl of soup, but what she didn’t realize was the frost seeping through her fingertips and onto her spoon as it turned her meal into rock solid. It wasn’t until she felt a piercing chill on her arm from the surface of the table top that she snapped out of it. “Oh.” she whispered lowly as she tried to pull her spoon out. Instead she ended up lifting the solid bowl and with a disappointed frown, she sighed heavily and slowly placed it back down. 

Feeling a set of eyes on her, Cass lifted her gaze and made contact with the person in front of her. “—You saw nothing.” she deadpanned. However, her tone wasn’t as threatening, especially when she was refraining from letting out a sheepish grin. 

Luke had been a little out of it, just blankly staring in front of him. Actually, if she didn’t say anything, he would’ve probably never even realized what had just happened. But her voice brought him back, and he only then realized he was staring at a frozen bowl of soup. Which, clearly, wasn’t how a soup was supposed to be eaten. Glancing up towards her, he raised an eyebrow. “I don’t mind keeping that a secret, but why don’t you want people to know?” He asked, not particularly concerned by her tone. She wouldn’t really do anything, right? “We’re all mutants here, we won’t cast you out just because you froze your soup.”

kitgrays:

“I still say that I have room to grow, you never know. A way to relax should not be teasing me, not when I can behead them if they get me in that mood.” he laughed. “You’re lucky I love you, because you’re being a butthead.”

“Not sure, I stopped growing when I was 20. As for beheading, I’d suggest you don’t. Won’t get yourself liked if you do.” He replied. “Or maybe I’m being a butthead because I know you love me.” He added as a joke.

obscurien:

Adrien frowned and looked at the man. “If you say so.” He said, clearly not believing anything that Luke was saying. He folded up the picture and put if back in his pocket. “Everything okay?” 

Luke shook his head briefly. “It just reminded me of a place I know. Well, used to know.” But, it also made him wonder about his family, which he hadn’t seen in nearly 10 years. “Do you think it’s possible... someone you have had news form in a decade is still safe?”

ofmannyism:

“What are you gonna throw me out of here? Just leave me the fuck alone I don’t want to train, and I don’t want to fucking go sing kumbayah my ass with the lot of you. I shouldn’t even be here, I don’t know why any of you let me in.”

Crossing his arms, Luke gave his head a small tilt to the side. So far, since arriving, he’d mostly got along with everyone. But that was the kind of attitude he certainly didn’t want around. “If you’re going to act like a brat, it would be my honour to punch you out of this place.”

rcdbandit:

Maria thought for a moment. “Well if I’m going and doing something then you’re coming with me.” She said. She wasn’t sure what they could do, but she only really trusted Luke and Caspar if she was going to be doing something fun. “That way I can say it was your idea.” She teased. 

A light laugh escaped his lips once she was done. “So I’m just your scapegoat, in that plan?” He joked. Even if it was true, Luke would bare this role. “But, I can roll with that. Whatever you want to do, I’ll take the blame. WHich makes me think... what do you wanna do?” 

[hervcles]

noxvision:

“Well then why wouldn’t you flirt with me?”

“So you do want me to flirt with you. Got the impression you didn’t want that.”
