DARK HERO LUCIUS EPISODE 003: Delusions of Grandeur (Event)

(action, 2240 stevens, morning)

[Lucius, despite all warnings and everything to go with it, has decided to take it upon himself to drink the milk this morning. If his rival did it and lived, he most certainly can too! Upon drinking it... he begins to feel... funny. Light headed, full of happiness. He felt like flonne, minus the justice obsession, really. Well, more like a really, really stoned Flonne.]

Man....I feel just.... greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat It's like... it's like...[His eyes widen.] Woah.... I feel... funny.....It's like... my world is in HD.... the colors....

[He's now incredibly gullible and open for pranks. Do what you will, housemates...]

(phone, later on that morning)

Guys... guys listen. I've... I've noticed something...It's like... something really deep... what if this is like... the sequel, man... the sequel to the game!

(action, the toy store, later that afternoon)

[Lucius's stoned state has gone into all out tripping the fuck out. His face is plastered against the window of the toy store, hallucinating that the store does indeed sell video games - ones that he is the star of. He'll excitedly scream and point to whoever crosses his path and point it out that he wasn't just a one-trick pony! He was the real deal! A game, a game where he's the star and not that damn Valkyrie! A game where those Disgaea characters won't steal the show! One that's his, all his! He's finally taken seriously in his own mind!]

(action, later that evening)

[Sadly, all good things must come to an end, as the day progresses, his fear begins to heighten... what if those games were popular because they were bad, what if he was still a source of mockery and still the world's buttmonkey! He begins to envision the world laughing at him, as he runs into anywhere he can to hide away from the voices of mockery that torment him.]

[BRB removing all possible sharp objects as far away as possible as a precaution. Carefully, she approaches him. She may not be a mind reader, but she knew when someone was troubled.]

Well, at least you're not as loopy as you were this morning. You don't look too good though...

[some concern? Or was that in a mocking tone... the thoughts whizz through Lucius's head]

Of course I'm not good! No one takes me seriously... No one! I've been mocked all day because my game was terrible!

I meant you look kinda sick, you idiot! Ugh, when is this milk's effect going to end?!

Game? What are you even talking about?

[he curls up even more, her voice acting like brutal daggers]

I am sick, Lili! Sick of being the buttmonkey, sick of being the second banana. My one chance at the spotlight, my one chance at proving just how awesome a dark hero I was... and it was terrible! "The Worst!" "Where's Flonne and Etna?" "Who the hell would want a game starring THAT guy?" It's so bad I've been hearing people whisper they want to kill me!

Ugh, will you get a hold of yourself?!

[She grabs him so they're face to face and she shakes him for a minute.]

You need to learn to not care what other people think! And you shouldn't give up yet. You're still alive and you can still change yourself!

[He's slowly coming out of it... he's grateful that Lili is trying her hardest]

Change to what, though? I'm a dark hero! My title has already changed from Ordinary Hero to that...

I don't mean your title. I meant your attitude towards life. My Dad says people who keep a bad attitude like that tend to end up with warped minds. And I won't be able to help you out since I don't have my powers, let alone a psyportal to enter your mind and fix things up.

I don't think you're buttmonkey. Trust me, I know my share of hem.
