raisetheearth | [Video] [Shepherd's Haven]

[The feed shows a young man who looks to be in his late teens or early twenties; it could honestly go either way. Suffice it to say he's around Tony's age, and he's super excited and shirtless despite the brisk weather in the southern hemisphere.]

S-so. How about these goo things, huh?

[A twitchy smile. Despite being Numbered now, for a long time he wasn't, and he's still paying some penance for a past crime. He feels like he hasn't quite earned Network privileges yet, in other words.]

I'm Luca D-Dantonio. Uh. Some of you might remember me from the thing with Al-Albero. But even before I got my Number, you guys were great to me. No boss ever treated me like that, so uh. I hope that there was never any doubt or anything but I want you guys and the newbies to know that I'm on your side, OK? I'm loyal. If anyone can say anything about me it's that. I'll even fix your stuff up for you, my Other was some kind of mechanic I think.

Oh...! Oh, also, one of my echoes says that m-my guy's name was Nux. I kind of like that. Simple. You can call me that. I'd actually kind of like it b-better if it's OK to ask for.

Oh man. That's really rough. Nothing expensive I hope.

Well... not really...

[Expensive as in emotional value? yes....]

Huh? What got wrecked?

O-oh, just some clothes! It didn't really matter!

[They were just expensive in the emotional way.... Never had Rakka worn such a soft shirt before, it was cute too! Now it was the most disgusting tinge of Algae green...]

Clothes matter! I mean... I know I go around shirtless around a lot but it's just because I work enough to get warm. I know that they're important to most other p-people.

If... someone asks me to stop, I'll p-put on a jacket or something.

Maybe Woodend's got something like it, huh?

Uh, yeah, you sure do.

[It's almost impossible to not notice that, though Luca certainly wasn't Rakka's type.]

I'm hoping so! I'm going there with my, um, girlfriend later.

Yeah? Great, you can look then. D'you need someone to come along for some extra protection or to carry things back?

[It's no secret that Nux loves traveling between Shepherd's Haven and the surroundimg towns, even when he doesn't absolutely need to go on a supply run.]

Ah... thank you, for the offer! But I think I'll be fine.

[She has Raye, who is - no offense, Luca - stronger in every way.]

No problem! Let me know if you change your mind or something. How are you getting there?

I will! [Thank you, nice gang biker person. But Rakka will not be needing your particular help.]

I already have a ride - Raye is gonna help me.

Does Raye have a bike? If she wants an upgrade I'd be happy to take a look at it!

She does, but t-that's okay! I think Raye does all the work on her bike, herself.

[AKA: Never touch Raye's bike unless you want to live/your name is Rakka.]

All of it? Wow, maybe she could teach me a thing or two, you think? I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can. I think my guy was into it or something.

M-maybe! I'll tell her about you the next time I see her.

Well... maybe the other you was a mechanic! You never know, right? Anything's possible when you're a Numbered!

Not to brag, but I've got memories back of how to fix things up right good. I'll share it if I can, just like I'll share if someone needs me to look like a ringer for someone else.

I can still do that bit you know.

Ah... a ringer?

When I was in the Mafia, I, uh, had surgeries done to make me like a chameleon. Lot of other procedures too. It's never perfect but I can make myself look like another person. I did Tony that one time.

O-oh... [Her eyebrows raise slowly. She'd heard about the powers the mafia possessed, mostly before that big battle where Raye...Hmm.]

Uhh, I don't think I really need you to look like anyone else, right now. There's not much reason for it.

Haven't gotten to use it in a long time to be honest.

Tried looking like Nathan but couldn't get his hair white. Always turns out powder blue and he's too tall.

Nathan? Ah... that's a good try, though!

Ah, you... haven't even seen it, but thanks. Maybe if I work on it I can get better, but they always said that it wouldn't be p-perfect ever.

W-well.... I can imagine it though!

[Rakka, that's not the same...]

Maybe you just need to keep trying? I bet it's possible.

Hang on. I'm gonna try you.

[His appearance on camera starts to shift and change, until he does strongly resemble Rakka. But she's missing her halo and her wings, and her eyes are bright green instead of brown.]

Not bad?

[Gasp!]

N-not bad! It's pretty good.. but you're missing a couple of things.

Oh! Uh...

[He reaches about his head.]

I don't think I can do that if it's not already a part of my silhouette. Hair's different for some reason but uh... like uh, your donut thing, or the wings, I probably can't do that.
