villainy commenced [[1x1 w/ the-nug-king & hexspecs!]]

[grey matter]

"Oh, yeah, I do. Well, we have stuff to look forward to."

"Yep..."

"Oh, wait, this is perfect time to leave you with, uhm... wait, how much more time do I have..."

[the-nug-king]

Three sighed. "You have five minutes. I'll be outside. Be quick."

[grey matter]

"...Lucas."
"Yes?"
"With your permission, I am going to kiss you?"
"...Sure."
Lazarus pecked him on the cheek briefly and pulled back.
"Okay, that's all I wanted to leave you with..."
"...I enjoyed that more than expected."
"Cool. I'm gonna open the door now. "
"'Kay."
The two left the room dazed and flustered and awkward but... somehow excited for whatever the heck the future held.

[[Hey sorry to double post but do I need to write more for you to reply? You need more material?]

[the-nug-king]

((Sorry my head just hasn't been in a writing space today. Lucarus Cute tho.))

"Ready to go?" Three asked Lazarus. "You're welcome to come down to the teleportation pads too, Lucas, just try not to be too sappy while I'm here."

[grey matter]

[[Lucarus is a much better ship name than Lazucas, thank you for it!!! And it's fine! Also I'm realizing a lot of Lemon Demon songs give me Lucarus vibes lol.]]

"I'm as ready as I can be..." Lazarus said, with a somewhat melancholic tone. "...Well, just a short while until we're back on our antics, I suppose. Right, Lucas?"
"Yeah. And I'll be coming with," Lucas said. "Not like we can just leave it at... that."
"...Yeah..."

[the-nug-king]

(Nice!! Also my friend linked me to this song yesterday which is probably a little too violent for Lucarus, but still an excellent nemesis-love interest song. (Warning for cartoony gore in the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyGJmWgYXT0))

"You could go back to his dimension with him. You don't have to stay at the Academy all summer, you know."

[grey matter]

"...I could. But... hm. I'm a little torn. Not like I'd have too many places to be in Lazarus's dimension-"

"You could stay at my place if you wanted," Lazarus interrupted.

"-but, as I was saying before this ill-timed insect interrupted me-"

"Aw, look at that, you're, being an alliterative a- actually, now's not the time for profanity."

"Let me talk! As I was saying, I also have a friend I like hanging about... considering I haven't had friends in a long time and now I suddenly have a friend and a... boyfriend? Something? Significant other?"

"Perhaps a significant bother... but I understand your point. Maybe you could just pop in? We could have that little... d-d-due- no, date then? Or you could stay the night or something?"

Lucas didn't really know how to respond.

[[Lucas's other motive is beyond the fourth wall. Probably in the corner of his mind it's like "HMMMMMM WHERE WILL THREE'S MIND (AKA THREE'S ROLEPLAYER AKA THE NUG KING)) BE WHEN I AM GONE- WILL IT EVEN EXIST" but it's not very loud, just in the corner. And I'll give the song a listen when I can! Also Private Life by Oingo Boingo gives me "Lucas went insane because Lazzy is dead or something" vibes and I do not enjoy... though Oingo Boingo does give me a lot of Lucarus vibes in general too... hm.]]

[the-nug-king]

"Yes, DarkBoard would probably be willing to let you leave the Academy grounds and return later at least once during the holidays, if you so choose. Although please don't duel unless you have access to reanimation labs in Lazarus' world."

((I mean I know most of what Three's gonna be doing over the next few weeks but yeah if Lucas wan't around I'd probably time skip it and Three would need to be Convinced to talk about it. And they are quite glad Lucas is staying for a bit.
And oh noo Lucas bb.))

"Oh. Yeah. Not even like... no, never mind, we're idiots and it could get out of hand," Lazarus thought aloud. "Well, I suppose we could... I dunno, I can think of stuff that we would have as small of a death risk as every other normal thing."

"Then, it's settled. We can sort something out sometime... oh, and, I've got plant things to work on anyways."

"Cool... oh! I can show you around some of my favorite parts of my dimension! There's this bakery... and the balconies... and that pocket where nothing really makes sense... and those creepy estate-woods-turned-national-parks..."

"Yes, but... later. We need to prepare... and I need to re-wrap my head around all this because I'm still dazed."

"Agreed... but I am happily dazed! Awed! I think! Um- yeah. Existing."
