( now we know why Yuri must challenge party satan also to a dance off, Luke, is this what you want? then again it's doubtful anyone will be asking. as for now, Yuri looks him straight on, shoulders hunched just a little: indicating how he's defensive, yes, and probably saying more than he wants. )
It's not worth the disappointment.
( or the betrayal. )
( considering his first thought is YES I WOULD PARTICIPATE FOR MONEY he has to evaluate how financially motivated he can be as well as what Luke is saying as applied to other people. only he's fairly sure more would be willing to work with that kind of incentive than a "share and care with everyone because you're Generous" altruistic approach. )
you're paying people, at least a few dozen will take you up on that, so yeah. if that's information not coming from anywhere I guess that's the way of making it happen thatd work. better than asking and hoping people are all "sure I will spend time telling you things for no reason past the goodness of my heart."
I was hoping to bribe people with drinks, but if people your age are experiencing these things even more than people that're of legal age I need a new incentive. money talks no matter what.
if I get around to setting up a study, I'm putting you in charge of spreading the word. we've got a deal?

Mm... Well, yeah. [A PAUSE which might be marginally ominous, but it's just Kashuu trying to decide how he wants to tackle explaining this. In the end, he settles with something relatively simple. Just--]
In the hallucination, but it wasn't human.
[Unlike the very human thugs he almost stabbed.]
That's definitely a pattern there, then.

[That just raises more questions though.]
A monster? [Why that's his first thought...well, he won't say. The word is almost automatic and he's hanging onto Kashuu's every word.] Or something else? It's a pattern but now you're opening a whole other can of worms or whatever.

Happens all the time in movies. Maybe our parents were busy on their own adventures. [ that doesn't sound quite right?? ] Maybe? I've seen a dark-haired boy a few times. It didn't look like Jason, but maybe I just couldn't see him clearly enough.
[ that also doesn't sound right. whereisjasongrace.jpg ]
[ that also doesn't sound right. whereisjasongrace.jpg ]
Yeah, but I'm not a baby anymore.
[ that poor pizza boy. save the pizza. annabeth allows herself to be herded to the kitchen. she rolls her eyes at luke... rolling his eyes.they sure are from a middle grade/ya series ]
Fine, sure, we'll all die as the sun expands and engulfs us all as it becomes a gaping black hole. And it heralded by us hallucinating and horses becoming chocobos.

[WHY IS THAT HIS FIRST THOUGHT... He looks a little surprised, but after a second of mild consideration, he nods.]
Monster? Yeah... Yeah, that's what I would call something like that.
[An enormous monster that he still doesn't understand being able to cut down... Shit was huge.]
Pretty typical though, huh? We finally start getting some patterns to work with and it just gives us more headaches.

Not sure I like thinking of it as my old life.
I guess we'll find out if they're stupid, won't we.
I will send in the app.

I saw him too. The dark-haired boy...the age different was bigger between me and him, but maybe you're right. Maybe we just didn't get the full picture. I talked to Kashuu the other day and he was mentioning how he's been getting memories with Yamato but the other people in those memories have been really fuzzy, too. Could be what's happening to us.
Jason hasn't told you anything on his own, has he?

[A Sigh.]
I know you're not, but I'm kind of freaking out, all right? Let me handle it the way I wanna handle it. [Unboxing the pizzaaaa gooo.] If the sun's expanding we could write the whole thing off as heat stroke and call it a day. That'd make sense for the hallucinations.
[He's also just grabbing a slice and not bothering with a plate because Luke's a savage.] Let's just focus on the board for now and worry about the apocalypse later. Deal?

Don't start getting all doom-and-gloomy on me. I've already got enough gloomy guys in my life.
[Also don't start running off into the loving embrace of danger, Luke. He sees you.]
Um... It was big? Like, big, and wearing some kinda armor or something. It had this huuuge sword, too. Some of its armor had bones sticking out of it... I think there were bones sticking outta the guy, too? Horns on its head, freaky little feet - oh, and it was on fire.
[why]

I'm not good at doom-and-gloom anyway. [Now running face-first into danger, yeah, he's an expert at that. Also being on fire, that's something he's good at in memories he doesn't have yet and that I won't reclaim from this thread. But uh. Okay, sure, Kashuu, this seems a little....]
I'd ask if they were its bones but that probably doesn't matter too much. You fought it sword to sword? How'd you get out of getting burned? [A sigh.] This is just getting weirder and weirder. Again.

[Luke and his memory regain train needs to take a timeout and have a long think about things... Please stop running into danger and also being on fire?!]
They might've been? The ones coming out of it, at least... And I have nooo idea. I fought it like I'd fought things like that my whole life or something, it was crazy. Cut it right in half and everything.
[Despite only coming up to its abdomen... HIS ANIME LIFE.]

[There's no stopping the train, let's be real. He's more interested in hearing about Kashuu's anime life though especially since somehow that kind of sounds a little weirdly believable. Why? Hell if he knows.]
Guess it's no different than Thalia and I running into dragons and glowing goats when we were kids. [MMMMMM.] It was just you in that memory? I never thought you'd be the type to fight monsters but maybe it has something to do with your family's genes. [Given. Thalia and Jason are horrifying people sometimes.]

[When lost and struggling, there's always animes to laugh at...
Also, giving Luke a look.]
The glowing goat thing is new. [HE HEARD ABOUT THE DRAGONS BUT GLOWING GOATS... Why do their hallucinations keep getting more and more like something a person would actually hallucinate.]
And what's that supposed to mean? [HUFFS... Even if Luke is 100% correct.] But-- no, I'm pretty sure a few other people were there. Like... a group? But a pretty small one.

Yeah I haven't really talked about that to her yet. Not sure how to bring up the fact that we were following a glowing goat somewhere in Virginia some time after we found a dragon in South Carolina. I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell her either. [HE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.]
And it means that you're all vicious and it's kind of funny and intimidating all at once. [He lifts an eyebrow.] And the same thing as usual where those people weren't clear at all. Were they at least helping? Or just watching you fight this bone-monster?

No problem, I'm not super into getting involved in other people's messy memory-hallucination thingies.
[WAVING A HAND... He loves Thalia but he is not here to deliver news about glowing goats to her, that can be Luke's job.
Anyway, he'll just gloss on by that TOTALLY UNTRUE STATEMENT because he's not vicious, he's cute (he is fckin vicious), and more importantly--]
Yeah, basically - but they were definitely helping, yeah. There was more than one of those monsters, I think? I was just handling one on my own.
[Thus proving Luke's point that everyone in this family is vicious.]

Okay, fine. Freak out in your own way. I'm not sure heat stroke works that way, but sure. Why not.
[ unlike luke she's getting a plate? she's getting him a plate too, because what the hell you slob. ] Deal. But what if the board leads us to the apocalypse?
[ unlike luke she's getting a plate? she's getting him a plate too, because what the hell you slob. ] Deal. But what if the board leads us to the apocalypse?
Of course it would. What better way to frustrate all of us? [But he shakes his head in response to her shaking her head.] Thalia mentioned seeing two guys with dark hair in one of her memories but unless we can get a clear picture of the guy we're pretty out of luck knowing if it's the same one. She did mention magical flowers though, so there's that.
Don't use actual science on me when I'm freaking out. [He gives her a Look, but okay. He'll take the stupid plate and drop his half-eaten piece of pizza on it with another pointed glare.] If the board leads to the apocalypse...then at least we have a new and stupid network we can use to warn everybody else. That's 'bout as good as it's gonna get.
