[Puzzle 006]

[hisapprentice]

[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.]]

Oh, I see... Who are you looking for, sir?

[action]

[hisapprentice]

My brother. His name's Benjamin and he's about this tall [hand out] and wears a brown cap. ...He really doesn't like to be alone.

[action]

[whimsicalwinds]

Benjamin... [...that's...] Oh! Benjamin-kun? He lives next door to me in our apartment building! Have you checked there yet?

[action]

[hisapprentice]

No he doesn't, he lives with me.

...Which building do you mean?

[action]

[whimsicalwinds]

...Eh? Really? [He... doesn't recognize you though. Strange.] It's ah.. Building seven!

[action]

[hisapprentice]

Really? Thanks! ...Are you his friend, too?

[action]

[whimsicalwinds]

I only spoke with him a few times, but yes, I suppose I am! I helped him make dinner some time ago. [..Dinner for just him and Hayate though... um.]

[action]

[hisapprentice]

You did? [He doesn't remember you at all. But. ...He guesses you're okay. Maybe.]

...He can get pretty lonely, so...

[action]

[whimsicalwinds]

Yes, I did! I wasn't aware that you were staying with him though, so I apologize for not being able to make some for you as well.. Maybe all three of us could eat together sometime though!

[action]

[hisapprentice]

...What's your name?

[action]

[whimsicalwinds]

It's Hayate! Hayate Ayasaki. What about yours, sir?

[action]

[hisapprentice]

I'm Thomas.

[Oh, good. This Hayate person isn't immortal. Luke seems more relaxed.]

[action]

[whimsicalwinds]

Thomas? Ah, it's very nice to meet you, Thomas-kun! Are you going to head back over to Benjamin-kun's home...?
