[Lea seems to be kicking back in his room. And for someone who seems to be just laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling, he looks oddly thoughtful. After a moment, he turns his head slightly to look more directly at the camera.]

Question for everybody: can friends do things for Valentine's Day too? Or is it just for romantic couples?

I know there's probably a lot of different opinions on this, if you even celebrate the holiday, but I wanna know what everybody thinks.

Who: Luke Skywalker and semi-open
Where: Various
When: Over the next week or two and backdated
What: A catch-all log for various things
Warnings: Possible NSFW in any Luke/Matt threads because these two are ridiculous

open;

It's been more than a little strange trying to settle into this normal life, or what most people would consider a normal life. Other than the abduction part, of course. Luke almost feels anxious for the first few weeks, not quite knowing what to do with himself. He'd had plenty to stress over in Pathema even if there was no war there. But here, it's almost peaceful.

He wakes up every morning and goes to work, then comes home to his boyfriend and his cat, works out, trains, goes drinking, visits friends…

But he can't help feeling like he's waiting for the other shoe to drop. This can't be all there is.

Part of him wishes that something would happen, just so he can finally stop wondering and peeking over his shoulder. At least he has full use of his powers here. It's like getting one's sight back, though he's avoided using that exact phrasing around Matt for obvious reasons. For him, having his sight back is much more literal, even if his eyes are and will always be useless. Luke is relieved that he can get around a lot easier now than he used to and he's been fascinated with Matt's range of abilities.

They spend a lot of time together but when he's on his own Luke is usually either working shifts at the Schnee Company as a security guard, or putting himself through rigorous training.

Even in the snow and ice he can be found around the cities in a tank top, jogging or levitating things or standing upside-down on one hand. Rarely he might train with his lightsaber when he can find wide open, sparsely-populated areas to do so.

These necklaces are pretty. Kind of an extravagant gift to give your captives. But I guess that...

I guess that means we're all on even ground now. Even if some of us don't want to be. [Passive aggressively throwing that at some people.] Let me get to the point: anyone see a woman with long, wavy black hair and gold eyes and cat ears? Or a loud blonde with a matching tail? We got separated.

And the cheapest apartments around.

Thanks.

Who: Death and You!
Where: Attleton
When: February 11
What: Just some free interaction; knock yourself out!
Warnings: (will be added in the unlikely even that they're needed)

[Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and appropriate decorations are already gracing some of the storefronts in Attleton. It's all very cute and heartwarming, at least until you run into a very odd stranger.

To the non-magic, or non-cat, observer this stranger may appear... vague. Definitely very tall and extremely thin, and definitely wearing very dark clothes, but it may be difficult to recall any details about what he actually looked or sounded like later.

For magic users, cats, and people who happen to be present when the general atmosphere of Genessia cancels out his usual ability to hide in a blind spot in the senses, it's very obvious this stranger is Death in the, er... flesh. Complete with scythe resting against his shoulder, sword on his belt, and cloak made of pure woven darkness, no less!

Regardless of how he's perceived, Death takes no notice of passerby as he contemplates a rose bush in full bloom.]
