[ It would be exactly Lucas' luck to find the World Tree, get all his magic replenished, and then end up here with all that effort gone to waste. It feels completely wrong to have none of his magic with him, only an unfamiliar spark and static against his finger tips. There is truly no one in this world who suffers as much as Lucas, and he heaves an exaggerated sigh in the middle of a strange town surrounded by strange faces. At least he'd left the princess finely tuned up back home before finding himself here.

There'll be time to sulk later. Right now, his main interest goes to the bauble against his side, and the curious electric charge rippling under his skin. It's not the magic he's familiar with, but there's enough about it that sets his mind a bit at ease. He's not completely defenseless, he thinks as he wanders through the town and stares at the way he can create small bursts of static from his hand.

And for added experimentation, he'll even come up behind random people and press a finger against an exposed arm, the back of the neck, or even the ends of people's hair and give them a little shock.

It's for SCIENCE. ]

[ Life's a pain when Lucas can't just magic currency into being the way he usually does. He's left standing in front of a food stall, finger tapping away against his chin as he considers and weighs his options. He's certainly not going to allow himself to starve, but there's not a lot he has to barter with, least of all Mora.

It's about then that he glances to the side and catches the eye of a fellow traveler, and he quickly lifts his hand away from his chin and gives a slight wave in their direction.

Hi, new best friend. ]

How much money do you have?

[ Just... asking away. Why bother with introductions when there are more pressing matters at hand, such as tasty treats to stave off the hunger pains? ]

[ Time loops?? It gets WORSE, for real. Lucas deadeyes one of the shopkeepers he had terrorized only a week before, and the man cheerfully greets him in return. He can feel the twitch of annoyance under his eye as the same dialogue from a week ago is repeated back to him, and Lucas rudely waves off the rest of the greeting.

He turns on his heel and stalks away from the shop, headed deeper into the city. So this is the problem they were brought here to deal with. At least he has more of an idea now.

He'll stop in his tracks after coming across another figure, one that doesn't match up with the rest of the scene from a week prior. ]

That wasn't there before.

[ "That"... okay. That's a whole ass person, Lucas. He'll call out to them, though. ]

What are you doing there?

[ Want something else? Throw a starter at me or hit me up via PM or yuulshi with ideas/questions! ]
