[Video] Tuesday of Week 31, late morning

[This face right here is a very eager face. Luke is grinning ear to ear and his voice reaches decibels that make the sound system of his communicator clip slightly as he excitedly greets anyone listening in.]

Hey, we're in comm range again! Yup, that means we'll be home soon though I'm afraid I can't give exact details yet. Boy did I miss you guys.

Is anybody around?

[Some might notice that Luke is more chipper than usual. Sure, he'll be happy to talk to just about anyone who replies, especially friends, but those who know better will be well aware of the real source of his excitement. He's almost giddy at the idea of getting to see Kaylee again soon.]

[Luke doesn't claim to know everyone in the Old City but he definitely recognizes a new face when he sees one. He takes on a more welcoming smile rather than the half-crazed grin he had on before to keep from creeping the new guy out.]

Hi, Armand. I'm Luke. You settling in alright? I mean, despite the fact that you're here against your will, of course.

[He remembers all too well that period of panic and then miserable resignation and can't help feeling awful that so many people are experiencing it.]

I'm doing fairly well. It's still all very confusing for me. Everyone I've met so far has been kind.

[Armand is quiet a moment, and he glances aside, perhaps toward the vague direction of the space ship from where he is.]

I don't mind being here so terribly much, but no one seems to agree why were brought here. I suppose it adds up simply to not knowing at all, except by guessing. That is something I don't like at all.

[Luke slowly nods, gaze falling low to somewhere near the ground.]

I know what you mean. If it helps any, just know that it gets a little better. Not that it ever really feels like home but it has its moments.

This is actually the second time I've been taken away from home and trapped. The first place was much worse.
