a. medibay

[lúcio hasn't been around much recently.

no, actually, that's not true. he's been around, but often late when most other people had retired for the evening. he's found his place in the medibay, wanting to help the few people there in any way he can. he literally modified his technology to heal and realises that while he desperately wants to be a DJ again, that's a personal and selfish desire. as they are right now, people need medical help more than they need him to try and revive radio moira.

maybe the fact that he even thinks that is a testament to the direness of the situation.

lúcio can be found in the medibay doing whatever adrien tells him to, practicing stuff angela had shown him or working on his wub gun.]

b. residential

Hey! [near the medibay - like a true medic, lúcio is staying as close to the medibay as he can - the closest person he sees is flagged down.] Can you give me a hand in here?

[he gestures to an open door. don't worry, lúcio isn't an axe murderer.]

closed to lavellan

[you know what lúcio is doing? minding his own damn business.

for once he's not wearing his skates, just walking along normally. he knows he has to speak to lavellan, but he can only do so much in such a situation. he was planning to give it another few days before seeking out the elf.

he's not thinking about lavellan as he trips over something on the floor, stumbling and not quite falling onto his face.]

Wha--!

wildcard

[ya'll know the drill get me at jabbers]

Comments

[wallride]

Thanks, man.

[unfortuantely, if shiro was expecting something amazing, lúcio's room is just... average.]

We're gonna feng the shui outta this place!

[shiro2hero]

Careful how loud you say that, I don't want to have to pretend to lecture you on your language.

[You're not funny, Shiro.]

[But he is going to step up to the wardrobe to start hefting his side.]

[wallride]

It was clever wordplay, not bad language!

[lúcio takes his place on the other side.]

Give it a shove, man!

[shiro2hero]

A likely story.

[Nah bro he knows. But it's -- very nice to just goof around with Lucio.]

Okay -- here goes. [And shove he does.]

[wallride]

Oof! Shit!

[it's... stronger than he was prepared for. he's fine, just surprised.]

That was pretty much half of it in one go, man!

[shiro2hero]

... Really?

[Let him just peek around the wardrobe here for a second.]

You okay?

[wallride]

Yeah! Yeah, I'm good!

[beet red, but good.]

Okay, one more shove then I think we just gotta push it back against the wall! See what I'm going for?

[shiro2hero]

Your face is all flushed.

[He's definitely concerned. But going to dutifully put his shoulder back to the wardrobe.]

Okay. I got it -- watch your feet.

[Because here he goes.]

[wallride]

I'm-- I was surprised!

[how much of that was shiro's arm? he didn't get a good look. fuck already failing.]

I got my skates on, dude. I'll be fine if you get me.

[shiro2hero]

... All right?

[Sounds fake buddy but okay. If you're sure.]

Okay -- three. Two. One.

[It's not his arm, he's got a shoulder against it and pushing with his legs. Swoon Lucio.]

[wallride]

[he's actually looking in the right place this time, so no swooning happens. the unit grinds against the floor slightly but gets moved with both of them trying.]

Got it!

[shiro2hero]

Good.

[Success! He doesn't run over Lucio's foot or something equally embarrassing.]

[Just peers around the wardrobe.]

Any further?

[wallride]

Naw, that's it. You wanna help me break it open?

[he grins, pointing at the doors.]

Lock's broken.

[shiro2hero]

[If this were anyone else but Lucio, he would have looked at them strangely. Or at least, suspiciously.]

[But this is Lucio.]

Okay. Pretty sure I can manage... Watch out though, all right?

[wallride]

[he obediently stands back.]

Don't break whatever is in there...

[shiro2hero]

I won't.

[This isn't going to be brute force, after all. Light flares from his fingertips, while he presses them to the hinges of the wardrobe. Metal runs in melted rivulets.]

We'll... just take the doors off...

[wallride]

[that is NOT what lúcio expected!! he claps and laughs when shiro does it.]

Shit! You gotta teach me how to do that, man!

[he laughs again, then leans forward to inspect what's inside the wardrobe.

...some weird clothes and a small safe.]

This might be an anticlimax. Or... weird alien porn. I'm not sure how to feel about this.

[shiro2hero]

I don't think I could. Sort of comes with the package.

[You know, as nice as it is to hear Lucio laugh, there's a little bit of sheepishness in the words.]

... let's hope it's not weird alien porn. I'm kind of done with that.

[wallride]

...

[his had stops just short of the box.]

...You can't say that then not explain.

[shiro2hero]

... You don't want to know.

You really, really don't.

[wallride]

...

[he shrugs, then pulls out the box, gesturing for shiro to join him as he sits on his bed.]

Alright...

[shiro2hero]

... I'm mostly kidding. You know that, right?

[He sits with him, though, without any hesitation.]

[wallride]

Sometimes I can't tell! Your poker face is too good!

[lúcio laughs and opens the mercifully unlocked box to REVEAL...........

.... a mummified piece of fruit.]

...Aw. I wanted treasure.

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, until I actually try and play poker.

[Then it's Bad.]

[His face though -- it goes from curious to disgusted in about ten seconds flat.]

That's -- why is that in there?

[wallride]

I don't even know how Poker works, so you're one up on me there.

[lúcio cautiously pokes it. it does not sprout legs.]

Safe... keeping?
