VIDEO | UN: SEEINGTHEWORLD - CW: Luca finding the parasites from the TDM, minor injury
[The video comes on. The feed is shaky, and the person holding whatever's being used to record seems to be backing up. But with what's on the feed, it's hardly surprising. It's a shot of the beach, and from the waves scurry dozens of fish on long, skinny insect legs.]
Sharks! What is that? What's wrong with those fish?
[Fortunately, there were no actual sharks coming out of the water, making it clear that he's using it as an expletive. Unfortunately, while all the fish are small, there are a lot of them and they're now racing toward him. Luca lets out a scream, and the viewers might see his tail whip into view of the camera to knock a few of the parasite filled fish away from him, making it clear that he likely was just in the water the parasite filled fish are now racing out of.]
Ohcarpohcarpohcarp get them away!
[With a final shrill cry, the 'camera' seems to get dropped to the ground and suddenly stops transmitting.]

Action - Private to Zib
no subject
Another joins the first to stab another parasite, and soon enough, they're being pulled backwards and thrown through the air to land somewhere farther away, before Zib comes into view to lean over him.
There's four of those metal spider legs coming out of a strange device attached to the back of his head, in plain view as his usual makeshift hood has been pulled down to allow them free movement. But he pays no mind to them, attention firmly on the other boy.]
Luca? Are you okay?
no subject
I am now, thanks to you.
[Sure, he's bleeding a little, but overall he's fine and he figures he'll worry about that later. He scrambles to his feet as quickly as he can and looks as more parasites seem to be on their way.]
Come on, we should run before more come.
no subject
[He says, even though the spider legs twitch in the air here, as if itching to try to impale something again.]
But where should we go from here? It might be bad if they follow us somewhere that would lead them to more people, or a dead end.
no subject
[Luca has no ideas.]
I don't know! I mean, growing up I'd just swim into an underwater cave when I was scared, but that's obviously not going to help here!
[And his next instinct was to run to somewhere else that seemed safe, like his home, but he definitely doesn't want to lead them there.]
no subject
[Zib seems to be thinking for a moment, before he seems to have an idea.]
Hey, remember when I told you about my ship here? We could try to go hide there, even confuse them a bit if we pilot it somewhere else that they can't follow to that easily?

Luca?!! Where are you? [Ohhhhhh fuck the screen went dead. ] I'm coming! I'm gonna... comb the beach!
[He can't hear him but whatever, he's just gonna...comb the entire beach. All of it. It's gonna take hours. ]

but i think i confirmed that my poison powers are tied to fear
Re: [Some time later, after Luca's rescued/recovered] un: seeingtheworld; Text
[Luz races down to beach, her staff in hand, eager to give the "business" to any of the parasites that dare to attack her housemate! The girl was acutely aware she couldn't protect Luca from everything but darn it, if she had the power and ability, she had to try, right]?
Luca? LUCA?! Where are you?!
Action
Hey, Luz!
[He waves a hand to try and draw her attention to where he's standing.]
I'm okay, Zib was nearby. He helped me out.
no subject
What happened? You said something about your powers and fear?
no subject
[Luz was already rummaging in her knapsack for some antiseptic, as if Luca would need it, because that would have been something her mother would do, and old habit die hard].
Wait, Zib? What did he do?
[And yes, she was super glad that Varian was here too to freak out with her]!

Dude! Get away from the beach and - I don't know, up somewhere high. I don't think they're any good at climbing!

[Maul sounds almost....bored like he couldn't care one way or the other if Luca survived the encounter. Sorry kiddo, there's usually at least one person being an asshole on these posts and today it is Maul.]
video; UN: seeingtheworld - hours later
No. I used my poison and also Zib helped me fight them off.
no subject
[Maul's already disliked the number they've had to deal with already given one of them had been Reaper and all.]

[It’s really fifty-fifty if Maul will actually follow through but he’s attempting to be a better person these days, and while Luca doesn’t mean anything to him personally, Maul is friends with enough of his housemates to know he should probably keep an eye on the kid.]
