[Puzzle 006]
[Luke wakes up all alone in a strange apartment and this is not acceptable. There is a whole list of reasons why but it's been summed up pretty well, right there - all alone, strange apartment. No familiar setting, no city, no brother.
This is why he's careening around town in his pajamas* not ten minutes later, at least remembering to put on his slippers and hat. He stops in the shadows by the bakery to open the journal and try something.]
[The failest filter - at most 20%]
Benjamin! Benjamin, where are you?
[Whether or not that produces a result, he'll go back to his running and searching.
And will slam smack into more than one person as he goes. Mostly from behind. He's a slight kind of thing so it won't hurt the other person much!]
[[ooc: Luke is now from the wonderfully insane world of Baccano! He is Czeslaw's brother and will goggle at anyone who calls him "Luke" (except Yotsuba) because the name he believes he's been using is Thomas.
*They are blue-and-white striped button-down flannels. A-dor-able.]]

[Wait a second. Firo may not have the sharpest memory, but he's pretty sure he's never seen this kid before.]
...How do you know my name?
[Action]
[Action]
[He scratches his head.]
You a friend of his? I don't remember you.
[Action]
[Action]
[Now he knows something's definitely up.]
Okay, kid, if Czes had a brother, he woulda' told me.
[Action]
[Action]
[His eyes widen as it hits him. Could this kid be an immortal?]
Wait a minute. You don't mean you're-?
[Action]
[Action]
[He quickly regrets asking. If Luke somehow is Czes's brother, then it's possible that he's been through the same traumatizing stuff. Firo offers his hand to Luke. He wants an explanation, but it's probably better heard in a more private place.]
C'mon. Let's get outta the way.
[Action]
But we've got to be quick. I want to find him.
[Action]
[He starts walking in the direction of Czes's Luceti home and peeks back over his shoulder at Luke.]
This had better not be a joke.
[action]
[action]
[action]
Well we're not going to figure it out out here.
[action]
[action]
[Really Firo. Really.
Fine have the short version. No details about the horrific parts of Luke's or Czes's pasts. Summary. Short and sweet and bloodless, which is the exact opposite of two centuries of life.]
[action]
Yeah. I know that all happened with Czes... But not you. I've never met you back home... Never even heard your name.
This place has gotta be messin' with one of us.
[action]
[action]
[Secretly, he's pretty sure he agrees with Luke.]
[action]
[action]
[He runs a hand through his hair.]
Hopefully he can sort this all out.
[action]
[action]
[He quickens his pace.]
His place isn't too far from here.
