There was a brief moment of silence before Lucas gave another curious look around. "Well... if you don't mind me asking, what is it exactly that this building is used for... well I mean it's a factory... but...." Lucas started before he trailed off. "I mean... what is it used for?- I mean... what is it that you make?" he asked. ((Apologies for being so late on this one, I forgot Tumblr was even here for some reason. ^^"))

Lucas was amazed, for good reason! These people WERE AMAZING, not only had he met a kind, supportive woman, but he had also met a man of many talents and an astonishingly grand guise. Lucas was too eager. ~Well, I’m happy to know I’m at least not...

Lucas was amazed, for good reason! These people WERE AMAZING, not only had he met a kind, supportive woman, but he had also met a man of many talents and an astonishingly grand guise. Lucas was too eager. ~Well, I'm happy to know I'm at least not alone!~ Lucas echoed into the head of Overmind. "Really though, just... thank you, thank you all so much for listening to my story and understanding me... it.. it warms my head to know not everyone on Earth is out to get me.." Lucas said.

"Yeah.. I guess so.." Lucas said, still absorbed in thought before something occured to him. "Speaking of, I’ve felt this really strong Psionic signature coming from you, do you have like… any kind of psychic ability or am I just crazy?" Lucas...

"No… I.. I thought I was done with them after I came here.. I guess my mind isn’t done yet…" Lucas grimly said as he sat absorbed in thought. "Claus…" he whispered as if longing for something.

Pariah twigged on to the change in Lucas, and she scooted over to be as reassuring as she could be.. “A flashback? It’s ok.. You’re safe, sweetie.. Nothing’s going to harm you..”

"I never thought I would have ever gotten a chance to start a new life, it's kind of exciting... especially in a beautiful home like this one, it... it really does remind me of how peaceful Tazmily once was.." Lucas said, although his smile faded as he began speaking, and then, as if in a trance, the child froze where he stood, like he was witnessing some kind of horrific event, but there was nothing of the sort. After a bit, Lucas shut his eyes tightly. "It... it happened again... I had... I had a flash." he quietly said, and like he was sad before, this seemed to be something new, something more like, fear.

"Well, you’re going to have a lot of positiveness I’m sure.. A fresh start can do the world of good. Trust me on that one.." She said to the young lad. "You don’t ever have to worry about that, sweetheart.." And as she heard Overmind’s thoughts she replied in kind.. ~You’re the best, mi amor..~

"It's... a beautiful work of architecture though Mr. Overmind, I'm surprised someone actually took it upon themselves to go so far with such lovely craftsmanship.." Lucas said, still gawking at the building. "I think after what I've been through I could use some positive going-ons in my life." Lucas chuckled.

"Can’t say I’ve ever been to New Pork! But yeah, it’s impressive, huh?" She replied, before looking up at Overmind.. ~It’s good to be back home, mi amor.. I have missed you, love..~ She thought, starting to blush..

Lucas smiled at Pariah. "It's... it's been a long ride." he said as the trip back to the factory began, the trip was considerably short due to Overmind's size, and when the Factory came into better view Lucas was in awe at the size of the building, as expected. "It's... It's bigger than the towers in New Pork!" Lucas said as he fell backwards onto his back.

Pariah followed suit, carefully climbing onto the taller man’s hand and sitting next to Lucas. She placed a hand on his shoulder and said with a reassuring smile.. “Welcome to the fold, sweetheart. I’m glad to see that you’re feeling a bit better..”

Lucas turned his bright smile to Overmind and he tucked his bundle of golden-headed sunflowers under his right arm and he carefully clambered onto Overmind's hand, and he got himself settled, sitting down with his legs crossed.

"Then if you’re ready, sweetpea, I’m ready. Let’s go!" Pariah said with a smile, before pulling on her hoodie and stepping up to the taller man, following the young lad. "That’s what I like to see.. A bit of brightness.."

[thecowardoftazmily-blog]

Lucas brightly smiled, a rather rare occurrence for him as of now. With his huge bundle of sunflowers in hand he seemed excited to visit the factory now. "I'm ready!" he chirruped, he was happy more than anything to be among new friends and to be away from the troubles of his past life.

"Of course, sweetpea! Glad to help.." She called out from amongst the sunflowers. Once she’d retrieved a few, she finally answered Overmind’s question.. "Please, mi amor. If you don’t mind.." She asked before passing him one of the flowers she’d picked.. "This one is for you, love.."

[thecowardoftazmily-blog]

Lucas' tears changed from sorrow to happiness as he scuttled off and came back with an armful of golden-petalled sunflowers, the bundle was a massive load for such a little body to carry but he seemed to manage it just fine. "I... I have to thank you both so much for being so kind... I can't think of anyone else who has done me this many kind deeds.." Lucas said, a sincere amount of thanks in his voice.

As Lucas knelt on the palm of Overmind’s hand, he lightly dabbed the sides of his face with the handkerchief, and with a sniff he looked at Overmind. “F-factory?” he asked, gazing down the opposite direction of the countryside to see that there very much was a little building with billowing smoke out in the distance, although unlike the factories Lucas was used to, this one appeared cleaner… safer… the land around seemed nearly untainted with the exception of the minuscule little ring around the building itself. Lucas looked back up at Overmind and Pariah. “If… if it isn’t too much trouble to you… may I see the factory closer?..” Lucas asked before looking at the wide sunflower patch. “A-after I take a couple of these?” Lucas asked. “They always were my Mother’s favorite…” Lucas explained as he looked at the light yellows around.

"Of course, sweetheart.. You don’t ever have to worry about being on your own again. Trust me, I know how much it can hurt.." She said with a smile, gently pulling back a little so that she could give him a handkerchief from her pocket.. "Don’t ever think that any of this is...

The fact that these two strangers he barely knew had taken the time had listened to him warmed Lucas' heart, and although nothing could change what had happened to him, Lucas decided that maybe there was a silver lining to the storm clouds that drenched his mind with a downpour of troubled thoughts. Lucas lifted up his head and asked a question he had been aching to ask for some time. "L-listen..." he said, tears still rolling down his face. "I-if... if it isn't too much of me to ask... will... will you be my friends, Miss Pariah, Mister Overmind?" Lucas asked, looking up at them both the best he could. "Please... I'm.. I'm terribly lonely..." Lucas said, looking a bit aways from Pariah and Overmind.

Lucas turned around, looking up at Overmind and Pariah with his soft, blue eyes as he was still balled up, although he relaxed and changed to a different sitting position. “I.. I….” he stuttered, as if wanting to say something. Lucas held his head and a couple of tears rolled down his cheeks. “I…. I…….” he stammered before the poor child began to furiously weep and he hugged Pariah suddenly as tight as he could. “OH MISS PARIAH, MISTER OVERMIND… I LOST MY PARENTS AND MY BROTHER… I’LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN….” Lucas cried as he wept, quivering with undeniable mental anguish. “I didn’t want to lose them… I REALLY didn’t….” he sniffed. “And its all my fault..” Lucas said, shutting his eyes as more of his hot tears streamed down his face.

Lucas said, shutting his eyes as more of his hot tears streamed down his face.

"Sweetie? It’s ok.. You don’t have to bottle it up.." The woman said softly, taking a step forward. She was much like the lad when it came to hiding how bad things were when she was younger, so she knew how he felt..

"My name’s Pariah, what’s yours?" She asked, getting down...

[thecowardoftazmily-blog]

Lucas sighed and he was going to turn around to tell whoever that was that he was okay and that they had naught to worry about, but Lucas froze when he turned around and saw Overmind's gargantuan guise behind Pariah. He wasn't all that scared, he was used to dealing with figures of large scale, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't the least bit on-edge; but nontheless, Lucas wasn't white with fear, he was still very much blue. "Yes... I'm... I'm fine I swear on it..." Lucas fibbed as he turned back around, balled up, the poor soul was on the verge of tears, and it was very apparent that he was lying, it had that certain vibe to it. He wasn't sure exactly what to think of Overmind or Pariah for that matter, but he was assuredly down.

Lucas looked back up at Pariah and he looked away. New people weren’t something he was all that good with, although she was being friendly at least. “Hi…” he said whilst his head was craned away as if he were too shy to look. And at her question, with his back turned to her and Overmind, who he had failed to notice, he responded. “I… I’m, I’m okay…” Lucas lied, he knew very much so that was a lie and that somehow this newcomer would convince him to tell her what had happened to him, not like he wasn’t used to telling everyone his sob-story anyway.

Pariah had been out on one of her many trips out with the motorbike, before passing through the familiar sunflower fields. It wasn’t often that she came along this way, but just this once, she decided to pause her journey. After pulling up aside of the motorway, the blue...

[thecowardoftazmily-blog]

A little ways out, a couple miles rather, of Overmind's property was a large field, a GIANT field that consisted entirely of sunflowers and tall, lush grass. And among these sunflowers, the disgruntled Lucas roamed around the fields forlornly searching for absolution between him and his recently deceased brother, who had lost his life in an accident fighting Lucas. Lucas had fled from the scene in fear, and after what he assumed to be the end of the world began to take place, he and his odd little trio of "family" consisting of his adopted mother, Kumatora and his adopted father, Duster as well as his faithful dog Boney managed to escape via one of Porky's many devices of time travel, they had come to a random point in history before even his real GRANDPARENTS' life began. There was no doubt that Kumatora and Duster were looking for him, but Lucas didn't care. Right now he just wanted an answer to a plea he had wanted ever since he was young, reassurance, happiness, more than anything he wanted new friends, and with this thought in mind, Lucas was sure he wouldn't find it here, but being one with the tall foilage reminded him of a simpler time; a much happier time at that. As Lucas unhappily mused over his thoughts, he sat down and  stared at a small sunflower he had plucked from the massive patches surrounding... wondering if he would ever be happy again.
