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.

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.

[There's certainly no halo there, unlike the one slightly bobbing atop Rakka's head, casting her in a soft glow.]

I guess a halo just isn't something someone can just conjure up. [A soft giggle.] Don't worry. Maybe trying to copy me just isn't a good idea.

[He switches back to his former appearance, looking sheepish.]

Sorry. Uh, I sometimes... like it's pretty natural for me by this point to just do the thing, you know? I g-guess that some people aren't very comfortable with it, but thanks for b-being nice.

O-oh. Yeah! It's fine! [Is it? Not really. Kinda?] If it's... natural, then that makes sense, right?

Natural doesn't mean you can just do it whenever! I mean... when you piss, you go to the bathroom to do it, right?

...sorry, uh, I mean "urinate." I try not to cuss in front of girls.

W-well yeah, that's what I meant.

.....Uhh, it's fine. You don't... need to apologize for that.

[She lives with Raye. She has an extensive dictionary of swears at her disposal now.]

Then you accept it?

I... guess?

I still won't do it unless you ask. We have enough doubles of people running around right now anyway, huh?
