Action/Video: Luke snapping out of his flute trance.

Who: Luke and Phillip and Siiri, and anyone else who has been
What: Luke finishes his song and finds that 8 hours have gone by in the blink of an eye, and that apparently there is a small cluster of people all worried about him. (Again.)
When: Midnight tonight.
Where: Luke's back yard for the action portion.

Notes: This is the follow up to this post. If your character would have shown up in his back yard feel free to tag in response to the Action portion. If you're just someone who saw Phillips first post, feel free to respond to the Video portion. Just make sure it's clear whether you are or are not in Luke's back yard. Also I may not tag back immediately I kind of pulled an all nighter and managed to avoid naps all day so I may very well collapse soon.

[ACTION]

Luke finishes his song with a little trill for extra measure, and when he opens his eyes he's amazed to see the world around him darkened, the moon sliding behind dark slow moving clouds. Luke turns to Phillip, a little excitement showing in his face.]

Wow, did you see tha- Phillip?

[The excitement is short lived however as Luke realizes that Phillip is not where he was standing a moment ago. He turns and spots his friend slumped against the trunk of a tree, his dog Gloria curled up by his side. Luke goes over to them quickly and gently shakes Phillip's shoulder to wake him.]

Hey, what happened to you?

[VIDEO]

[The video stream crackles back into life with a close up of Luke's face. His pointed ears are back against his head just a tad, and his low arched brows and small frown reek of a sheepish apologetic thoughts.]

Sorry if I um, worried anyone earlier. I'm fine it's just an um, an echo thing. I skip forward in time, but I guess I just sort of stand still while I do it. So yeah. Sorry. I'm not hurt or anything.

Wha--

[Phillip starts awake, for a moment very worried since he was supposed to be standing watch, but then he sees Luke.]

You're ok! [OH THANK GOODNESS here friend have a hug. ;;]

-Ohmf!

[Luke is caught off guard by the hug and almost topples over, but he manage to catch himself before they both wind up on the ground. He's a bit confused, but he returns the hug awkwardly, unsure of why this is happening. Why now. What is going on.]

Of course I'm okay? Why wouldn't I be?

Because you were just standing there playing that note for hours! [seriously he's been pretty upset about this.]

[Siiri is around, not still but again. She had to go and finish a few things, but when she came back she had hot cocoa and more chocolate and two blankets with her, one of which she offered Phillip.

The other one she will put around Luke's shoulders quietly before retreating again without having added anything to the conversation. No reason for him to go cold now that he is back to normal, but no reason for her to interrupt their reunion either - she will stay quiet unless addressed. She'll be in the spot where she's been for a while now, invisible from the house but keeping an eye on it now instead of going back to work on her laptop.]

[Luke was about to say something more to Phillip when Siiri comes out of nowhere to give him blankets and cocoa. He stiffens and looks surprised more than anything. He nods slightly nervously and mumbles a very confused Thank you? to her before she walks away. He shifts a little closer to Phillip and lowers his voice to a whisper, still eyeing the intimidating woman somewhat cautiously.]

Um, Phillip. Why is Siiri here? When did she get here? What's going on?

[Phillip barely has the presence of mind to thank Siiri before looking back at Luke.]

I told you! You were standing there for hours and I was freaking out so I called the network, and she came to try and help and make sure you were still breathing.

[Luke is slowly coming to grips with what happened, and he scoots a bit closer to Phillip, patting him on the back in the most comforting way possible when one is both highly confused and trying to to stare rudely at the large intimidating Scandinavian woman in ones back yard.]

Well I'm breathing now. I didn't even notice anything had happened. Come on, everything's okay.

[Luke is not used to being the calm, unphased one. This is weird.]

[it's ok next times someone dies it'll go back to normal.

Phillip takes in a large breath, trying to calm himself down before sipping at the hot chocolate. This is at least comforting.]

I'm glad it wore off. I'd tried everything.

[ Oh, hey, at least the kid is all right!

But wait-- ]

You mean you can basically time travel?

[Luke sort of shrugs.]

I guess? I mean Phillip says I was here the whole time, but to me it just felt like [Luke doesn't actually know how to snap, so his hand gesture is more of a soft fft that a satisfying snap noise.] that!

[ That's okay, he gets it anyway.

And he just got an Echo and that sensation is still horrible so he'll just. Take a moment before he answers. ]

Interesting. The flute?

[Luke is a bit confused by the pause, but without any video he just assumes his conversational partner was busy for a moment, or distracted. When the flute is mentioned, he helpfully holds it up to the camera.]

Oh, yeah....It's called the Ocarina of Time. So it make sense it would do that kind of stuff.

[Oh gee, now he's a bit embarrassed. He probably should have been able to put that together earlier.]

Yes, it does make sense.

But you couldn't have known without trying, could you, hm?

Yeah.

[He thinks about a few more names he knows, and his head tilts to the side in confusion.]

It's weird that the 'Sun's Song' made it night time though.

[Hey Luke, just be glad it didn't do any of this.]

Maybe it's a song about the sun's travel across the sky until it eventually goes down?

You 'skip forward in time'?

Mhm.

[There's a little pause. There's still a lot he doesn't know about the power, and the fact that playing the Sun's Song shot him forward to night time is kind of confusing him. But he doesn't really think that now is the time to try again and see what happens. Not with how shaken up Phillip is.]

I dunno by how much though.

That...

[there's a few brief scribbles, here, off to the side; looks like Elian's brainstorming a bit.]

You had no concept of it, correct? One moment you were then, then you were ~~nowhere~~not?

[He has to read that again, and at the end he's still not sure what it means exactly.]

I didn't realize any time had passed
I just looked around and it was night

[He's hoping that answers the question.]

[it does. he thinks for some time, then-]

Would you care to let me know if such ever happens again?

[Luke nods, but then glances off screen for a moment, looking over at Phillip.]

Mhm.....But I don't think I'll be trying it again soon.

I understand.

That seems kind of usel--

Wait, you're not frozen anymore! That's great!

[Luke is kind of scared of Asuka. It's a complicated kind of scared. A 'definitely still count her as a friend' kind of scared. So when her expected angry and loud response is cut short in favor of something both nice and encouraging Luke is, needless to say, pleasantly surprised. Luke nods, and scratches the back of his head in a sheepish sort of gesture.]

Yeah, I didn't even feel any time passing. I didn't mean to worry anyone.

You weren't wearing a watch when you did that, were you? Does anyone wear watches anymore? It could be scientifically very important.

[Luke shakes his head, then wanders off camera for a brief moment. There's some muffled speaking, then Luke comes back.]

But it was probably like 6 or something? And now it's midnight apparently.

I just wanted to know if time actually stopped for you, or if you were just frozen in place and unconscious. Do you remember feeling like you were asleep or blacking out or anything?

If you actually traveled through time that might be the most impressive thing anyone's done yet...

It didn't feel like any time passed at all. I just played the song and when I opened my eyes it was now.

[Luke sorta frowns, and glances off screen. Phillip still looks pretty shaken.]

I don't know it doesn't seem that useful.

Well, you either put yourself in suspended animation, or traveled forward in time.

Either one is pretty impressive to do with a goofy-looking flute, but if you traveled forward in time, maybe you can go other directions...
