Maybe everyone got scared of your weirdness.

It’s not my fault! I’m bored and there’s never anyone around!

[luke-sullivann]

You're losing your mind, that's why.

There’s no one around why am I waving? Why am I talking to myself?

[luke-sullivann]

[luke-sullivann]

I’ll make sure I don’t make a mess, I promise. My practice will be as dry as possible.

You have a right to voice your opinion. This isn’t a dictatorship. I mean, I think if we’re comfortable with each other it’s better, but it might just be me.

I feel like I'm forgetting something...

[luke-sullivann]

I'm good. Just doing what I'm told and playing with the water when I can. It's a thrill.

How's life for you? Other than forgetful obviously.

I feel like I'm forgetting something...

[luke-sullivann]

Maybe you forgot to say hi to me, because you totally did.

I feel like I'm forgetting something...

I hate this feeling.

[luke-sullivann]

It’s just so boring. Beans? They make for great jokes, so I guess we’ll get along alright.

Hey now, don’t go dying on us, Luke. You have the cans of beans to look forward to. Erm… you like beans, right?

[luke-sullivann]

I can work with that. So, Noah...uh, your face looks better.

Everyone must be busy. Looks like it’s just you and me. 

[luke-sullivann]

This place is so dead. If someone doesn’t show up soon, I’m going to die of loneliness and boredom.

It's Just For Laughs || Luke&Oliver (Flashback)

Training, thinking, working out, it all took a toll on Luke. He was exhausted and frankly ready to fall over on the spot and sleep for a week. Finally, the boy feigned a stomach ache to get out of his workout early and go back to his room to take a much needed break, though he knew most of the others didn’t believe in breaks. It didn’t matter, though. Luke was beyond desperate. He’d take ridicule from the other trainers and graduates if it meant he got a half hour to breathe and not think.

Something like that didn’t come easy, though. He had to dodge scientist and other members of STRATUS, because if he told them the stomach ache story, he’d be sent straight to the infirmary and it would cause the very opposite relaxation. In fact, it would probably kill him if they found out he was faking. They’d work him twice as hard, and then he would pass out at random from exhaustion. As if that wasn’t bad enough, someone else was in the room.

Luke could’ve sworn they had mostly everyone doing something that wasn’t located in their bedrooms. It was rare to see a healthy person in the bedrooms after lunch, if it even happened at all. Finally, the boy knocked and entered the small room, seeing a boy with hair in the form of a bush was present, and frankly Luke had never spoken to him before. He didn’t even know if the guy was new or not? “Sorry to interrupt you, but I think you should be down at training.” The boy plopped on to the bed letting out a happy sigh. He then looked around the other boy, his eyebrows pulling together in confusion that the sight of glue bottles around the area. “What are you doing?” Luke finally asked, trying to piece it together.

[luke-sullivann]

Luke shrugged when she said there wasn’t time for anything fun. “You’re gonna give yourself an ulcer if you don’t relax a little, ya know.” He was half joking, but he knew he was right at the same time. If all she did was work, work, work and never even give herself time to breathe, she’d end up killing herself. Maybe he was being a little dramatic, but there wasn’t much he could really do about it either way. He just sighed a little and kept following her, nodding when she mentioned they could be there for years. He wouldn’t be surprised if that ended up happening. STRATUS had to give up or close down before they could stop hiding, and who knew when that would be without the public support?

He noticed her pace quicken, and stepped a bit faster to keep up with her, and then she suggested jogging, which didn’t seem like a bad idea, frankly. Warming up was always a good idea. And then in a flash she had suggested catching her and was gone between the trees. He had a moment of delay, finally gathering himself, and he quickened his pace again, doing his best to follow her path. God what he wouldn’t give for super hearing instead. He stopped momentarily at a fork in the path, and tried to deduct which way she would’ve gone. All he had to do was think like Kate. Think like your opponent, right? One of the paths was darker and obviously more dense, and if Kate didn’t love a challenge, no one did. He took the denser path, the way getting darker as he went along, he smelled smoke, and where the was smoke there was fire. He finally followed his nose, slowing his pace as he reached the clearing where Kate stood. It was dark and near impossible to see your hand in front of your face let alone the course. He moved to where Kate was, seeming to light a fire which obviously wouldn’t give off much light, but maybe he wouldn’t better be able to see what he was doing.

He held his breath for a moment, trying to hide his light pant from the run. It worked, but it was the Hardass, he was sure she noticed regardless of his attempt to hide it. “So. This place is dark.” He muttered as he looked around. Regardless, he was itching to start and prove that Piper could train just as well as anyone else, even if it wasn’t classic training. He needed to prove his place in the hierarchy was appropriate. He just needed to prove himself to be better than what the others thought.

Proving Yourself Right || Luke&Kate

[luke-sullivann]

Well that must've been uncomfortable. I'm definitely sleeping off the tired now, 

Exactly. It’s even worse when that happens and everyone who’s around informs you that you talk in your sleep. That’s an awkward situation I don’t want to wish upon anyone.

[luke-sullivann]

He nodded. A mile and a half. That wasn't too bad especially at the pace they were going. He could handle that, no problem. Climbing might be a slight challenge however. If there was one thing that he could approve upon, it was his climbing skills. It wasn't that he couldn't climb, it was that he wasn't...coordinated with it. He never had been. It didn't matter, though. Voicing that would only lead to more teasing for him and for his fellow recruits. None of them really deserved that. Maybe they didn't have the same agility training as Graham and Kate's recruits, but they had strengths just the same. 

Luke nodded at her answer. It was very Kate, just as he assumed it would be. She wasn't much for fun...at least he didn't think so. "But don't you do anything for fun? Even just reading newspapers or anything?" Newspapers were solenm and usually pretty boring. It seemed very Kate to him. He felt the chilling night breeze brush past and tried not to act cold. He really wasn't all that cold, but air in the face was never a nice feeling, especially if it was a cold wind. It wasn't as bad since they had been living in the wilderness lately, but all the same, he didn't like it. It messed with him, but it was a small obstacle compared to what it took to start a life out in the woods.

Her question reached his ears and he laughed a little. The two things he was known for were exactly what she had said. "Hey now, I get all my work done sooner or later. I don't slack off all that bad. But I also make people angry through pranks that are slightly evil but not dangerous either...usually. I also usually just...socialize. Get to know the people around camp. I figure we should considering we all live together in such proximity and we all will for a while at that." He laughed a little, though the statement was true. They were going to be around each other most likely for the rest of their lives. Their abilities were in their DNA. it wouldn't wear off, and the possibility of it being passed down to the generation after them was there too. They would have to create their own little civilization out here. He couldn't really tell if he liked that idea or not. He just knew whatever lay ahead of them, it wasn't going to be a smooth ride. All they  had to do was hang on and try and look on the brighter side of things as hard as it may be. 

Proving Yourself Right || Luke&Kate

[luke-sullivann]

Will do. Last thing I need to do is go and fall asleep in the middle of doing something else.

You should get some rest, it catches up to you faster than you think. I learned the hard way after a shift a few weeks ago.

[luke-sullivann]

Whatever you say.

That’s why I nab the day shifts quickly, push all the other fuckers out the way if it means you getting it first!

[luke-sullivann]

Whatever you say. Why don’t you give it a try, asshat. It’s tiring staring at trees all night.

Lazy sod there is always going to be that extra hour you can push yourself towards
