Transcript

*Blur sits on the table, alone.*
Lucy: He hasn’t really moved since he woke up. Seems like a bit of a loner..
Mike: He just lost his home, Lucy.

*Lucy, holding her hands behind her head, smirks.*
Lucy: No wonder you like him so much. Emo boys gotta stick together.
*Mike glowers at Lucy.*
Mike: Shuttup.

Mike: I’ll talk to him.
*Mike leaves as Lucy looks on, smugly.*

Mike: Soooo..
*Blur looks up at Mike.*
Blur:

*Mike gives Blur a genuine smile.*
Mike: What’s your name anyway? I’m Mike.
*Blur looks weary.*
Blur:

*Mike frowns.*
Mike: C’mon.. I’m not gonna hurt ya. Do you wanna tell me who you are? Why were you alone up there?
*Blur closes his eyes.*
Blur:

*Blur glances to the side.*
Blur: I don’t remember anything.. Everything’s all fuzzy.. So I don’t really know..

Mike: You don’t remember anything?
*Blur casts his gaze downward, dejected.*
Blur: Not right now. Maybe it’ll come back.. but for now, I got nothing.

*Mike sits on the table beside Blur.*
Mike: You took a big fall. It might take a while to heal. But we’re all willing to help you.

Mike: Sometimes you’re out for like, a day, and it all comes flooding back.
Blur: I hope so.. I don’t know where to go..
Mike: Hey, you know what?
Blur: Huh?

*Mike smiles warmly.*
Mike: If you do wanna stay, we can look after you. You don’t ever have to feel like you don’t have a place to belong.

*Blur returns the smile, a look of gratitude on his face.*
Blur:

*Blur and Mike are startled as the table they are sitting on snaps in half. Lucy raises a fist at Mike.*
Lucy: My friggin’ TABLE, Mike!!

Lily: Speaking of nowhere to go, mind if I stay as well?
*Lucy glances behind her, noticing Lily.*
Lucy: Eh?

*Lily waves and smiles.*
Lily: I only just got to this town, and I could use a pit stop..

*Lucy places her hands on her hips.*
Lucy: Doesn’t bother me.
Lily: Great! So you’re Lucy..? I’m Lily.

Mike: Hey! If you’re keeping her, I’ll be keeping him!
*Mike points his finger and shouts, causing Blur to jump into the air.*

Lucy: Well, don’t kill him!
*Mike catches Blur.*
Mike: Sorry, little guy.
*Blur huffs and flaps about in Mike’s hand.*

Author commentary

Veronica: I like that Mike is showing here that he’s actually jealous of Lucy having so many pets, he wants one of his own! Is that so wrong?? I guess he couldn’t take Chirpy because Chirpy thinks Yashy is her mother..

Interesting how Lily chose to be with Lucy instead. She coulda gone to be with Mike! Maybe there is something wrong with you, Mike!

I guess the boys and girls are sticking together..

The way the table broke seems kinda funny it looks like Blur broke the table not Mike.

Kinda strange for Lily to have stopped there for so long, if she was a traveler…

Hum… sounds fishy.
Something behind it?
