[The video that comes on is excessively jostled about, mostly because Asch is just so utterly enraged that he can't hold onto his communicator properly. During this time, as he tries to get a hold of himself, the viewer gets a good look at what is definitely Luke's room, with the way the desk and the bed are a general mess, and the fact that there is a length of sheets trailing out the window, with no Luke present.]

DRECK!!!

[And that bellow is a damn good clue that Luke is in deep shit.]

YOU GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING, YOU IDIOT! NOT JUMPING OUT WINDOWS!

I haven't ate since we started studying! Give me a break! [TOO BAD. CATCH HIM IF YOU CAN, BECAUSE HE JUST LANDED ON TOP OF A DUMPSTER.]

[Video]

[not_the_dreck]

So you should have eaten before you started studying!

[...landing in the trash. HOW APPROPRIATE FOR YOU.]

[Video]

[perfectisofon]

I'll come back! I'm just going to get food, Asch.

[SCREW YOU, ORIGINAL. HE'S GOING TO JUMP OFF THE TRASH SO HE CAN DO HIS THING.]

[Video]

[not_the_dreck]

Tch... fine. You have a half hour to get food and get back. If you're not in your room, studying, I will make you come back!

[And don't think he won't try!]

[Video]

[perfectisofon]

Do you want anything while I'm out then?

[Oh, he knows that Asch will try. And he will succeed. So Luke won't push his luck.]

[Video]

[not_the_dreck]

[Asch glares, before looking away for a moment...]

...whatever you're going to grab. We have similar tastes.

[AND HE HANGS UP REALLY FAST.]

[Action]

[perfectisofon]

[... okay. that was weird. Actually, it wasn't. It was kind of endearing, and Luke couldn't help but laugh in the end.

So give him 15 minutes before he's back with two take out boxes.]

Asch, are you still around? I brought you back some food, too.

Dreck? [HE'S MISSING SOMETHING HERE, ISN'T HE.]

Why is he... jumping out windows?

[video]

[not_the_dreck]

Because he's trying to get out of studying. WHICH YOU'VE ONLY BEEN DOING FOR AN HOUR, YOU IDIOT!

[The last part was directed out the window; at least Asch had the decency to turn the communicator away before he started yelling.]

[video]

[caliberill]

[Ah - ahh that is a loud voice.]

Maybe he needs a break? An hour of looking at a book can drive a guy crazy.

[video]

[not_the_dreck]

[He's good at loud.]

What are you talking about? It's just been an hour. If he can't even do an hour, than he's more of an idiot than I originally thought.

[video]

[caliberill]

A little harsh, don't you think? What's he studying for anyway, any class in particular?

[Maybe Nate can nerd at him if it's history related.]

[video]

[not_the_dreck]

[A pause as Asch goes over to see how far down the schedule he set out for him Luke got before he bailed.]

...tch, he's still stuck on his math work.

[ The feed blips on to Yukiho, who looks like she was about to say something but the sudden yelling causes her to go bug-eyed and toss the phone herself! ]

Hauu! Scary! So scary! Uuuuu!

[ Yukiho cries out; while the feed is staring at the ceiling certainly one could hear the wails of a girl now sobbing...

Several moments later the top part of Yukiho's head appears from the corner of the feed. ]

Umm... Climbing out of windows is dangerous...

[not_the_dreck]

[Asch fixes the most bland, "No shit, Sherlock" look on the communicator. He has to keep himself from blowing up; he's already pissed off at one idiot, he didn't need to get pissed off at another one.]

Really? I hadn't noticed.

[everydayimshovelin]

[ Her and her positivity ignores the sarcasm and she keeps on forging ahead! ]

Why is he jumping? Is he bored?

[not_the_dreck]

No, he's just an idiot.

[everydayimshovelin]

Ah... I... see...

[ Not really understanding what would cause someone to jump out of windows because of idiocy, but okay!! ]

What is he studying for?

[not_the_dreck]

For school, obviously.

[Natalia is forced to stare in bewilderment for a moment. This certainly brings the memories back - back to the days of trying to teach one fussy amnesiac noble the fonic alphabet and any number of other things which he refused to remember. But it never ended in quite this way... Sure, he had run off on occasion to play with Guy, and yes, she had yelled at him and thrown fits herself on occasion, but... on a relatively smaller scale than this.]

[--Oh nevermind. Natalia scowls down at her cellphone. Asch wanted to know if something bad happened? Well, this is bad.]

Asch! What is the meaning of this?

What have you done to Luke? [He hasn't hurt himself climbing out the window, has he?]

Re: [Video]

[not_the_dreck]

[alkjdfjw What? C'mon, Natalia, he's trying to be a good influence on the dreck and force him to study! What's so wrong with that?]

What...? This isn't my fault!

[Video]

[raisedroyal]

[Nothing, and she would have gladly offered her assistance. But the yelling is a little uncalled for.]

I didn't say that. [She looks disappointed.] I'm only asking why you felt it necessary to shout at him in such a way! We all heard you.

[Video]

[not_the_dreck]

Because, yelling seems to be the only way anything penetrates his thick skull.

[Asch always yells when Luke does something stupid. It's a default response.]

[Video]

[raisedroyal]

And yet it doesn't seem to be working especially well. [If it was effective, Luke would be writing away in his notebook like a busy bee.]

[Natalia's focus trails back towards the window and she sighs. Here's a bit of advice, from one tutor to another.]

Luke has always hated studying. Unless you find a topic that interests him or manage to relate it back to something Luke has experienced, he'll resist the entire time.

[not_the_dreck]

How am I supposed to do that? The only thing that idiot likes is to hit things with a sharp object.
