After a bit more time spent calming back down, Lucas is looking down at his currently shut-off phone in his hands. His thoughtful expression makes it all too apparent that he’s attempting to reach a decision about something, but his thoughts are deep enough that Mikah can’t hear them.“Twenty dollars say Marsha will call you again if you go to try calling Alley Cat right now.” Mikah has a huge grin while making this bet, and Lucas angrily shoves his phone into one of his suit jacket’s inner pockets.“Absolutely not! I’ll wait until later! If their luck really is such a big deal then something will happen to let me know when to call!” The huff Lucas makes after declaring his newfound intent can be rather effortlessly translate

By the time Lucas has finished fussing with his collar enough to make it stay popped upright for easier tie access, the recently arrived elevator’s doors have finished sliding open. The first to walk out of the elevator is Mark, followed by Miss Calculated, and then 23. Whereas both Mark and Miss Calculated are empty-handed, 23 is carrying an armload of boomerangs, two cloth masks, and, unsurprisingly, Mark’s phone.Upon noticing them, Lucas raises up his left arm to wave enthusiastically at them. While doing so, he shouts out “Hey guys, over here!” to bring their attention to the little lounge area off to the side that he and Jonathan are occupying. He’s fast enough that he cuts off the leaving service bot before it could even begin to react to their presence.Last Updated : 2022-01-30
