week 3, monday

[darksubverted]

[His voice sounds slightly surprised on the other end! Wow!]

Bradley? It really... [Hold on.] Daycare?

[battling]

Yeah, it's me. Everybody who "died" is over here too. No injuries either. I dunno.

[The rustle of a shrug.]

That's what it is accordin' to the bear. Apparently he lost his keys?

week 3, sat

[darksubverted]

[It takes a good while, but Bradley gets one back eventually. Luke's voice is low, sounding tired as hell.]

Take care of Caiman. Okay?

[battling]

[He wasn't expecting anything fast. It's been such a bad week for them.]

You don't gotta tell me to.

[He sounds so tired. Fall dorm fam... Right?]

How're ya holdin' up?

week 3, sun

[darksubverted]

Aikawa? No. How is he acting?

[battling]

he's not murderous, so that's a plus.
but he doesn't remind me of lizard at all, like he's a totally different guy.
says he's a sorcerer.

week 4, monday

[darksubverted]

[Sure enough, someone familiar shows up to the daycare. Wow! He's in one of those stupid outfits I had to put on the mingle, go wild. Around his neck is a lanyard with a visitor's pass card attached to the end.

He has a piece of wax paper folded around something.]

Bradley.

[battling]

[His gaze flicks down to the wax paper, and then he gives "Luke" a grin. The vibes here are... legitimately friendly and affectionate, a thread of care that he'd probably deny.]

Hey, kiddo. Good t' see ya in person.

What ya got there?

week 4, sat

[darksubverted]

[He comes way, way, way, way, way late. Almost too late. It's probably well after midnight Sunday morning actually, but it's fine.

He looks exhausted. His emotion is a jumble of too much stuff, too difficult to pick out one thing. His right hand is bandaged, too.]

Hey.

[He has to swallow because his voice croaks.]

[battling]

[Extreme protectiveness and worry.

He steps forward when Riku arrives and pulls him into a hug- careful not to hurt his hand.]

week 5, weds

[darksubverted]

[LMAO GOD. BRADLEY!!!!!

Anyway, Riku doesn't respond. Instead, after a little while, he shows up with a big cardboard bucket carried in a plastic bag.

Fried chimkin!]

[battling]

[Feed your cat!!!

He does single loop around Riku, and then purrs.]

Chicken?

week 5, sun

[darksubverted]

[It'd be funny if he just walked over to Bradley from already being there. But no. He leaves and comes back later.

Because he has a paper bag with him. Which he holds out to Bradley.]

[battling]

[He takes it.]

Thanks, what did ya bring?

week 6, monday

[darksubverted]

[After a little bit on Monday, someone familiar shows up again, visitor's pass and all.

Which is funny because:]

What do you mean, relapsing? I've always been Luke.

[(no)]

[battling]

[AAAAAAAAA

NARROWS HIS EYES.]

How long have ya been here?
