[ he's never really sure which one he's gonna get... he just hits a button and hopes for the best. ]

Huh? Oh, no, this is fine. I mean... everything worked out, right? [ ...assuming his device is actually working right now, and she can hear him. ]

Anyways, you wanted to talk to me, right? Are you feeling better now?

That's good. No more of that... "ka ka ka" stuff... [ yes, despite nearly getting killed, for some reason that sticks in luke's mind the most. ]

It's okay. It's not like it was really that bad... compared to what happened with some of the other people. [ getting chased by a little girl wearing a bedsheet is definitely low on his list of trauma fuel for this last event. ] It was even kind of funny!

You'd better be careful though. You might start ka ka'ing when you least expect it. [ that is a very real and ever present concern. ]

Huh? Really? [ hm. ] Well, I guess it was pretty bad overall... [ totori's encounter is pretty much the only one that didn't end fairly traumatically for him. ] But it's not like it was your fault for getting possessed. [ pause. ] Unless you disturbed some creepy ancient artifact or something.

I've never been possessed by a ghost before, so I wouldn't know. [ ...he has been possessed by asch before though... so maybe he has more experience with this then he thinks? ] I don't think that's how it works though. [ ...he never really started taking on asch's mannerisms, thank lorelai. ]

...you carry stuff like that around on you normally? [ thinking back, she really does. ] Maybe you wouldn't get possessed if you didn't go around with such weird stuff. [ a shrug. ] But it happened to a lot of people, so it couldn't just be you.

Yeah... that would be terrible. [ and now he's somehow depressed himself. ] Though the ghost that possessed you didn't seem that bad. [ other than the attempted murder. ] She was kinda funny.

...most people don't carry around stuff like that. Where'd you manage to get it anyway?
