 LUKE SOHere you go, Snow! Hope this intro is good for you. o: | The steady flow of footsteps plowing through the bustling streets of Downtown never ceased to surprise the young university student. Julian strolled through the crowds. Earbuds plugged into his ears with tunes playing his favorite tunes from his MP3 player. It was one of those days. The kind of day where he didn't want to stay inside, but he didn't have anything else better to do. Strapped across his shoulder was his guitar case, containing his acoustic baby. No harm in doing a little street performance in a humble little corner.
He found muse for writing songs in rather strange places. Food for his melodies came from being exposed to large crowds and catching people's attention with strumming a few chords. He perched himself on a bench before taking out his sweet music maker. Julian gave his acoustic guitar some fine tuning before getting into playing a couple of songs. Old favorites that he didn't mind listening to. There he played for a good ten minutes or two. A few people who passed by actually tossed in a few coins and bills into his empty case. That wasn't so bad, but he was restless. His street performance didn't last long.
Upon wrapping up his impromptu public performance, the wheat-tufted lad brought the guitar back across his shoulder. A drink sounded nice right about now. Now it was just a matter of searching out the best place to go grab one. Or the nearest vending machine. Either way works just fine for him. As he started to make his way through the sidewalk, he accidentally bumped into someone. "Shi...." he stopped himself from cussing, "S-Sorry about... Oh wait, it's you." He recognized that face anywhere. Julian just didn't anticipate on running into anyone he knew. Most of the time it was just tourist browsing on through.
"What are you doing here, Luke?" |

Downtown. For those who knew Luke, they would know that he was here for one reason only. Photography. He was here to take shots of the area as well as of all the different by-passers. If one were to wonder why he was at this place or that place, one can instantly assume for oneself that photos were the reason why. It was a safe guess and normally was the correct one. Not that taking photos was always the only reason nor was it always the dominant reason either. While it appears that his life revolved around photography and photography only, he did do other things too and had other intentions in mind.
Today's intention aside from photography was...buying ice cream.
There was a local street vendor that sold delicious ice cream to people walking passed. He just felt like buying some today. That was why he was here and that was why he was now licking milk flavored ice cream from the crispy cone in his hand. Even though his camera wasn't ready in both hands, his eyes still scanned the area, taking in every scene and every detail in case he would run into something that was worth capturing. Not that everything was never wroth capturing though. A simple scenery that seemed boring and ordinary at first glance could easily be transformed into something special if taken at the right angle.
While his eyes were observing a crowd of people gathering in front of a store window, another shoulder collided with his. He heard a curse followed by an 'oh, wait, it's you'.
Turning to face the person, Luke merely blinked; his facial features remained stoic and unchanged as he stared at the blonde with his skyblue eyes. "Take a guess," was his answer to Julian's question as he proceeded to lick a line of melted ice cream that dribbled down the side of the cone.
His eyes landed on the guitar case that was slung over Julian's shoulder. "Here to play, I see. Did anyone stopped to listen?" | WORDS: 000 TAGS: ELLIOTT DELPHINENOTES: it's been nearly a year since my last thread with mori. so happy for this! CREDIT: LAIKA OF GS! |

LUKE SOHas it really been that long? Holy shi- I am so sorry. OTL | "Ok, I will," he replied back, "I'll go with the wild guess you're promoting tourism, right?" Or something close to that nature. Oh well, it was something along those lines that fitted Luke's preferred little hobby of his. Julian really hoped robin-egg top over there didn't manage to snap a few of his pictures behind his back. That would've been creepy as hell.
"I actually managed to earn some pocket change out of it," he said with a casual shrug. Nothing special but still nice to think that people believed he had some talent. Or it was an act of charity of desperate wannabe rockstar. He was going to think the former more so than the latter. "And what about you? Got any shots worth publishing?" he returned the question back. He gestured a small 'follow me' wave with his hand. So they didn't stand in the middle of the sidewalk in people's way. There had to be a bench or something they could perch down to talk together without loitering in the way of traffic.
It wasn't like he disliked the guy because that wasn't true. They got off the wrong foot when they first met though if it wasn't the sheer coincident they were both bros with Reno, then their... he guess he could call it a friendship of sorts, wouldn't be existing today. "Seen Reno lately?" he inquired. |

"Impressive. You know me so well." A film of sarcasm coated those words. He could tell that Julian was merely joking about what he said though. Both of them knew the real answer to the question - that no, he was indeed not promoting tourism even if he had gotten a picture or two to land in a tourism magazine before. So he guessed not directly anyways since his photos had aided the mission of that before. He could really care less about something like that though. All he wanted was for his pictures to seen - to see if they were worthy of being seen. If someone pointed at his pictures, chose it from the rest, and said that they wanted it, then it meant that he did something right.
"You can do a good deed and buy me another ice cream with those," he said when Julian mentioned that he earned some change while playing. Though he wasn't really being serious because..."Though I doubt it'd be enough, so just forget about it."
The blonde then questioned him about his photos, to which he just merely answered, "Maybe." Another lick of his ice cream as he stepped off to the side and followed Julian to wherever. It wasn't like he was in a rush today and the guy didn't grate his nerves all the time even if they did get off on the wrong foot at first, so it was fine.
"Saw him the other day at the mall. Spilled a drink all over him. I can send you pictures when I get home."

LUKE SOSTILL, THAT'S A LONG TIME, BRO ; A ; | Was he serious? Julian looked down at the bluenette's camera. If he knew Reno the way he did then the blonde was pretty sure the fiery redhead wouldn't leave that without reacting fiercely in return. "What the hell brought that up? How did you manage to get out of that without your camera in pieces?" Or a black eye for that matter. Actually, how did they manage to not get kicked out of the mall?
"Send me his expression. I bet he was pretty pissed." Though he was pretty sure he could take a serious guess as to what happened. Dude had a fuse shorter than a flea. Julian could swear that most of his guy friends were nothing short of violent punks, who have to prove their masculinity in the form of needless aggression towards one another.
"Oh, trust me, I can get you something affordable." he said with a snark tone, "Nothing is tastier or free of charge than sidewalk gravel, Luke." Not that he would follow through with it, but he was just saying. If it wasn't Julian than some other douche-bag probably wouldn't bat an eye to doing something like that. The nineteen year old blonde wouldn't stoop that low.

"It's called being skilled, Julian," he answered before happily sinking his teeth into the ice cream cone and producing a small crunch as he bit part of the edge of off. He really did loved ice cream, especially milk flavored ones. He loved everything made of milk and drinking or eating them always managed to put him in a good mood. Or at least in as good of a mood as he could get anyways. Most people didn't see the difference.
At least he wasn't as grumpy as Reno. The guy always looked as if he was about to murder someone in arms length. And yes, he indeed looked as if he wanted to murder Luke for taking pictures of his dripping shirt at the mall the other day. "Of course he was pissed." He swore that if they hadn't known each other for nearly a decade then things would have gotten very ugly. He could still remember how his childhood friend had his camera in his tight grasp. If that guy had really gone through and broken his precious camera then well...let's just say they're relationship was going to get complicated for many many days...or weeks. Depending.
"That would be a splendid lunch, Julian. Would you like to taste it with me? Or shall I let you have the honors of tasting it first?" Though he knew that both him and Julian wouldn't go through with it. No one said anything about keeping their mouths shut about it though.

| "Or being pretty damn lucky. I swear, that kind of shit could get you kicked out of any public place, man." Seeing Luke eat his ice cream was making him hungry now. He wasn't enthusiastic about sweets such as ice cream but it was better than nothing. He pulled himself up to make a quick trip to grab a cone of soft-served strawberry ice cream. He paid a few cents more to have mint chocolate chip bits added into his treat.
"I'd be pretty ticked if I had soda dropped on my shirt too. Then to have my friend start taking pictures to add insult to injury?" After Reno calmed down, either he was being a good sport humoring Luke or just went fuck it. The redhead wasn't a bad person but he had quite the temper to him. "It's gotta be a blessing that he's kept the friends that he has now." If he had a way to describe their relationship with Luke and Reno, he'd have to go with abrasive. Though he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I'll pass, man." he shook his head. "I'd rather avoid indigestion." He took small bites into his ice cream. By nature, he wasn't a violent person but when push comes to shove he won't back down. Though it hasn't really gotten that point yet with anyone, including his friends. "You going to be going to the next gig?" He planned on joining the redhead on stage. Plus he heard there was going to be quite the crowd.

Luke shrugged. "Put it any way you want," he said, waiting on Julian to finish paying for the ice cream. He was most likely both. He probably was lucky that he knew Reno for years and therefore, was able to avoid the worse of the redhead's temper. Well, if it hadn't been Reno, he wouldn't have dared to do what he did. Okay, maybe. Just maybe he might have took a quick snapshot, but he definitely would't have lounged around for more along with playing sarcastic and seeing how many smart-aleck remarks he could shoot before Reno decided that enough was enough.
"Sometimes I wonder why I stick along." He really wasn't sure why at times. He knew, and he knew that Reno knew too, that if they were to have met each other later in life, such as now, then they would have ended up being sworn enemies instead of...a messed up friendship of sorts. Luke himself wasn't really sure how to describe his their so-called friendship. He didn't even realized when he started thinking of the redhead as a companion of sorts. It was the same with Killian. The same goes with Julian and Lacie too and well...most of the people he currently had by his side. They all just managed to nestle down into a small part of his life without him realizing it.
Luke nodded at Julian's question about the upcoming gig. "I'll be there same time as always. Or actually, maybe a bit earlier if what Reno's been saying about a crowd being real." Because he was not going to be fighting through a clutter of people caged in a room in order to find place to take decent pictures of the two on stage.
